Chapter 194 Brother Xuan

Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Brother Xuan

A light-hearted sentence terrified Hong Dashun, causing his legs to go weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

"Gu... Young Master Gu, you’ve misunderstood. I was just joking with this kid!"

The Gu Family held the reigns of the business world in Nanjiang, and Gu Chen’s father, Gu Tianhao, being the president of the Nanjiang Merchant Association, was naturally not someone Hong Dashun could afford to offend.

"Joking, huh?" Gu Chen’s smile remained.

"Yes, yes, just joking!" Hong Dashun forced a laugh.

But just as he had uttered these words,

Smack!

Gu Chen raised his hand and delivered a slap directly to his face.

"Who do you think you are, to dare to joke with my Brother Xuan!"

"Brother... Brother Xuan?" Hong Dashun mumbled in confusion, covering his face.

Cao Liren and the others were also lost, not understanding the meaning behind Gu Chen’s words.

Gu Chen then pushed Hong Dashun aside and walked straight up to Chen Xuan.

He wore a smile and his attitude was respectful, "Brother Xuan, why didn’t you let me know in advance that you were coming to Qiantang? I would have come to greet you!"

As soon as these words came out, the room fell deathly silent.

Hong Dashun was astonished, as were Cao Liren and the rest, wondering if they had misheard.

This prominent heir of the esteemed Gu family in Qiantang was actually addressing this country bumpkin from Huai City as Brother Xuan?

It was simply inconceivable.

Chen Xuan had not expected to encounter Gu Chen here either. "I came along with a friend this time for work-related matters."

Gu Chen had a sudden realization, "I understand now. I heard what happened just now. It’s about securing a spot in the mall, right? Our family does have dealings with malls, and if Brother Xuan wouldn’t mind, we could allow Wen Gu Xuan to set up in our family’s mall."

Zhao Luna quickly asked, "May I know the name of your family’s mall?"

"Longtai!"

"Longtai?" Zhao Luna gasped, her hand covering her small mouth in shock.

She had inquired previously, and Longtai was the top-ranked mall in Qiantang and perhaps all of Nanjiang, focusing on upscale brands and far more high-end than the malls owned by Cao Liren and his associates by many times over.

Zhao Luna had not held out any hope that Wen Gu Xuan would be able to set up shop in Longtai, but now, it seemed fortune had come from a misfortune!

Cao Liren and others were also shocked to hear that Gu Chen actually wanted to allow Wen Gu Xuan to enter Longtai.

Once Wen Gu Xuan entered Longtai, it would become a top-tier brand in Nanjiang overnight, making the refusal to allow Wen Gu Xuan seem like they had forsaken a huge opportunity.

Moreover, this could also mean offending the Gu Family, which was the last thing they wanted to see.

"Miss Zhao, we’ve changed our minds. We are also willing to welcome Wen Gu Xuan!"

"That’s right, as long as Wen Gu Xuan sets up in our mall, we can talk about the rent. We can give a 30% discount."

"We’ll give a 40% discount!"

"We’ll go 50% off!"

The very malls that had rejected Wen Gu Xuan’s entry now did an abrupt 180 in their attitudes.

Hong Dashun was dumbfounded; he thought that by buying off these mall owners, he could choke Wen Gu Xuan, but now all his plans had gone awry.

"From today on, I, Gu Chen, find Tianbaofu displeasing to the eye. Whoever wants to work with Tianbaofu can continue to do so."

Who in Nanjiang would dare to collaborate with a business the Gu Family disliked?

With Gu Chen’s casually spoken sentence, it was as if he had announced the death sentence for Tianbaofu.

"Rest assured, Young Master Gu, we won’t work with Tianbaofu!"

"Right, we will definitely draw a line with Tianbaofu!"

Cao Liren and the others expressed their positions one after another.

Gu Chen glanced at Hong Dashun with a cold sneer, "Now you should have time to go back and think carefully about who really calls the shots in Qiantang!"

Hong Dashun’s face was ashen, and he slumped to the ground.

With the Gu Family’s ban in place, his Tianbaofu in Nanjiang was utterly finished.

"Young Master Gu, please spare me! I beg you to give me another chance, I won’t dare to do it again!"

Hong Dashun begged desperately for mercy.

However, Gu Chen didn’t even spare him another glance and simply left with Chen Xuan.

"Brother Xuan, my father just happens to be upstairs right now, why don’t I introduce you, it could be a big help if you plan to develop in Nanjiang in the future!"

A moment later, Gu Chen, together with Chen Xuan and Zhao Luna, arrived at the top floor.

"Dad, this gentleman is Miracle Doctor Chen!" Gu Chen said, smiling as he introduced him to his father Gu Tianhao.

Gu Tianhao was the chairman of the Nanjiang Merchant Association, a representative figure in the Southern Commerce circle, and was known as a magnate of Southern Commerce!

He started with five yuan in his youth and now had become a business mogul with a net worth of hundreds of billions. In the eyes of all Southern Commerce members, he was a true influential figure!

It was precisely because of such an extraordinary status that Gu Tianhao exerted a formidable pressure in every move he made.

Zhao Luna, faced with such an elder, couldn’t help but feel nervous.

As for Chen Xuan, he was as usual, both his appearance and inner self remained undisturbed.

With Chen Xuan’s current strength, he no longer needed to fear anyone. Even a Second-rank War God like Zheng Yunfeng had to bow his head and serve as his disciple. What was a merchant association chairman for him to feel apprehension?

Gu Tianhao was slightly surprised. Ordinary people would be flustered upon meeting him, but this young man in front of him was composed. Such a mentality was not something an ordinary person would possess.

"Thanks to Miracle Doctor Chen for treating my son. Gu Chen is my only son. You not only cured him but also saved the future of the Gu Family. Gu Tianhao is immensely grateful!"

As he spoke, Gu Tianhao bowed deeply to Chen Xuan.

"Mr. Gu is too polite. It was just a helping hand, not worth mentioning."

Saying this, Chen Xuan’s expression suddenly changed, and his eyebrows knitted together in an instant.

Gu Tianhao noticed Chen Xuan’s reaction and asked anxiously, "Miracle Doctor Chen, what’s the matter? Is there a problem?"

Gu Chen was also curious.

Chen Xuan’s face was gloomy, "May I ask, Mr. Gu, have you encountered any misfortunes these past couple of days?"

Gu Tianhao furrowed his brow, "What do you mean by that, Miracle Doctor Chen?"

Chen Xuan quickly explained, "I see darkness at Mr. Gu’s forehead and a hanging needle in the heaven palace, which are signs of great misfortune. I’m afraid you might be in life-threatening danger in the next few days!"

These words instantly made the atmosphere heavy.

Zhao Luna had not expected, after the pleasant atmosphere just moments ago, that Chen Xuan would suddenly say something so inauspicious.

"You’re quite bold, young man, to dare curse Mr. Gu!"

A man dressed in black beside Gu Tianhao immediately rebuked angrily.

"Who is this?" Chen Xuan could tell at a glance that this man in black had an extraordinary aura and was clearly a real Martial Artist.

Gu Chen quickly introduced, "This is Master Yan Yuanzhou, a personal bodyguard specially hired by my father!"

Yan Yuanzhou was extraordinarily skilled, having reached a level where he could start his own school, now commanding two to three hundred disciples.

For the past few years, it had been Yan Yuanzhou guarding Gu Tianhao thoroughly, earning great trust from him. This was why he was so discourteous towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was not angered, "I think you misunderstand. I was merely stating the truth, with no disrespect intended towards Mr. Gu."

Yan Yuanzhou snorted, "Misunderstand? Let me tell you, I, Yan Yuanzhou, have been roaming the martial world for decades and have seen many people. Don’t think I am unaware of what you really intend."

"You, a small-time doctor from Huai City, by chance managed to forge a connection with the Gu Family. Now isn’t it just that you want to show off in front of Mr. Gu to impress him and win his favor?"

"Unfortunately, with no real substance and deliberate performance, you only make yourself seem more like a buffoon, utterly ridiculous!"
