Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Taking You to a Good Place

Chen Xuan thought he could take this chance to drive Chen Xuan out of the hospital, but it turned out to be a blunder, which really depressed Zhu Kun.

What made him even more depressed was that afterwards, he received a call from Xiong Laosan, demanding repayment of the five million he’d put in.

Zhu Kun truly took a double hit this time, losing both his wife and his soldiers.

As for Zhu Kun’s little tactic, Chen Xuan didn’t take it to heart at all; after all, there wasn’t much else for him to do in the hospital besides treating patients. When someone was sending money his way for no reason, why wouldn’t he be happy about it?

After two days of hospital work, ever since he had married into the Han Family, Chen Xuan hardly had the opportunity to participate in any work. These two days gave him a sense of fulfillment.

One weekend morning, while Chen Xuan was helping out in a noodle shop, he received a call from Lin Cheng.

"Hello, Lin Cheng."

"Chen Xuan, do you have any plans for tonight? If not, I’ll take you to a great place this evening, how about it?"

Chen Xuan joked, "A great place? It’s not some shady spot, is it?"

Lin Cheng replied seriously, "Come on, do I seem like that kind of person? Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!"

Without much thought, Chen Xuan agreed right away.

That evening, Chen Xuan drove to the meeting.

"Lin Cheng, is this the ’great place’ you were talking about?" Chen Xuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the Lakeside Hotel in front of him.

Lin Cheng’s expression was mysterious, "Haha, once you go in, you’ll understand!"

With that, Lin Cheng pulled Chen Xuan along and walked inside.

The Lakeside Hotel was located by the shore of Dragon Lake, adopting a Western-style manor design throughout.

Upon entering through the main gate, the first thing they saw was a vast expanse of lush green lawn.

And at that moment, a lively party was being held on the lawn.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Lin Cheng explained to Chen Xuan, "Today, there is a gathering here for young entrepreneurs from Huai City, and our company is one of the hosts of this event."

Chen Xuan was taken aback, "So why did you invite me here today?"

"Of course, I wanted you to come and broaden your horizons! Last time you mentioned that your family has started a business. If you can get to know more entrepreneurs and wealthy folks here, it will definitely benefit your family’s business in the future! So, you must take advantage of this opportunity!"

Lin Cheng’s sincere face moved Chen Xuan deeply.

Chen Xuan didn’t expect that Lin Cheng would think of helping him first when facing this kind of situation!

Although for Chen Xuan nowadays, such so-called entrepreneur gatherings were nothing noteworthy, and there was no need for him to attend, he couldn’t let down Lin Cheng’s kind intentions.

"Lin Cheng, thanks a lot!" Chen Xuan said genuinely.

Lin Cheng waved his hand dismissively, "Hey, there’s no need to be polite with me, aren’t we brothers? Helping you is the least I can do!"

"But right now, my abilities are limited. If I were more capable, I would take you to the Sky Terrace gathering!"

"The Sky Terrace gathering?" Chen Xuan was puzzled.

Lin Cheng looked surprised, "What, you don’t know about it?"

"Let me tell you, the Lakeside Hotel is a hub for business gatherings in Huai City, frequently hosting various commercial parties. Big company CEOs all gather here."

"But there is a hierarchy to these gatherings. The most common one is the Lawn Party held right out here; it’s more for the common folk, and any company with assets over a hundred million is qualified to participate."

"The Sky Terrace gathering, however, is different! To hold a gathering up there, a company’s assets have to be at least fifty billion!"

"So, everyone who qualifies for the Sky Terrace gathering is a tycoon in the business world, nothing like the folks you see here at the Lawn Party!"

Hearing Lin Cheng’s explanation, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, "I never imagined that even a gathering would have so many intricacies."

"That’s right! There are lots of rules in the world of the wealthy. When I get the chance, I’ll definitely take you to see a Sky Terrace gathering. I’ve heard that the wine there starts at a hundred thousand a bottle!"

Lin Cheng was clearly excited, evidently holding the Sky Terrace gathering in high regard!

Chen Xuan nodded without saying anything, thinking to himself that since Lin Cheng was so fond of the Sky Terrace gathering, he would surely give him a chance when the opportunity arose.

"Alright, the party has already started; you’d better hurry in," Lin Cheng urged.

"What, you’re not going in?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Of course I’m going in, but I still have work to do today. After that, it’s all on you," he said.

With that, Lin Cheng went straight to report to his supervisor.

Chen Xuan sighed and walked in.

The party was quite lively, with young talents in high-end suits and beautifully dressed urban beauties everywhere, epitomizing high society.

To Chen Xuan, however, the scene felt somewhat alienating.

Honestly, if he hadn’t been worried about losing face for Lin Cheng, he really wouldn’t have wanted to step foot in a place like this.

Just as Chen Xuan was feeling utterly bored, he saw Lin Cheng not far off, laboriously moving boxes of alcohol from a vehicle to the party venue, already sweating profusely.

Chen Xuan let out a sigh—this kid really was giving it his all for work!

Chen Xuan put down his wine glass, ready to go over and lend a hand.

But before he got there, he heard a crashing sound.

Lin Cheng collided with a young man who turned without looking, and the entire box of alcohol Lin Cheng was carrying dropped to the ground and shattered in an instant!

Lin Cheng looked at the spilled alcohol on the ground, his eyes widening in disbelief.

But before he could even react,

Smack!

The young man slapped Lin Cheng across the face.

"Fuck, how the hell do you walk? Are you blind or what?" he shouted.

Lin Cheng’s expression changed dramatically, but in the end, he chose to endure it, considering that those attending the party were all significant entrepreneurs from Huai City, definitely not people he could afford to offend.

"I’m... I’m sorry," Lin Cheng apologized in a low voice.

However, the young man was relentless, cursing Lin Cheng out, "Damn it, you nearly knocked me over. Just ’sorry’ won’t cut it!"

"And fuck, you even got my shoes dirty. Do you know how much these shoes cost? They’re Armani limited editions, eighty thousand bucks! Can you fucking afford that?"

Hearing this, Lin Cheng was immediately dumbstruck.

Eighty thousand? That was all he could make in a year; he really couldn’t afford to compensate!

"I’m sorry, sir, I really didn’t do it on purpose..." Lin Cheng sounded extremely submissive.

The young man snorted coldly, "Cut the crap and clean my shoes now, or I’ll have you pay until you’re bankrupt!"

"Exactly, hurry up and clean Young Master Chang’s shoes!"

"Cleaning shoes to save eighty thousand bucks, you’re really hitting the jackpot this time!"

The few young entrepreneurs accompanying the young man all said mockingly, taking pleasure in Lin Cheng’s misfortune.

Lin Cheng looked at the shoes in front of him, his face alternating between green and white.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"Alright, I’ll clean them!" he declared.

After groveling at the bottom of the social ladder for years, Lin Cheng knew all too well that poor people like him didn’t deserve dignity!

However, just as Lin Cheng was about to bend over, a hand abruptly lifted him up.

"He’s not worthy of making you clean his shoes!"
