Chapter 340: Chapter 340 But We Are in a Meeting

Director Sang was very pleased to receive this message.

He hadn’t expected that the other party was so anxious to provide support and said they would arrive in two hours.

The joyful Director Sang immediately went to report to the leaders.

Shangguan Heng, he was also aware of.

A tycoon ranked among the top ten in Xiangjiang, and a famous entrepreneur as well.

It was said that he owned countless properties and even Xiangjiang’s most famous large marketplace.

After hearing this, the leaders were not as excited as Director Sang, mainly because it was all so sudden.

They had just made contact, and now the person was coming over, and it was Chairman Shangguan himself.

But a visitor is a guest.

Of course, they had to entertain him well.

So, Shangguan Heng, who came to deal with the aftermath, and Zhong Daqiao, who came to take Second Young Master Zhong back home, were received by the enthusiastic leaders and director and taken to a special hotel.

After settling in, Shangguan Heng proposed to immediately have a meeting with the relevant personnel.

Once everyone was gathered, he bashfully said to the leaders, "My brother-in-law Xia Bowen, my nephew Xia Xindong, and my brother-in-law’s granddaughter Song Yunuan have come to attend the trade fair. Could you please have them join us? I..."

At this point, he sighed, "Ah, it’s all about the past, and I also want to see them; it’s really been many years since we met. I really miss them and would appreciate if you could bring them over, thank you!"

After speaking, he gave the leaders a deep bow.

The leaders were somewhat surprised; they did know the name Xia Bowen.

But they were not clear on the specifics.

Following their instincts, they felt there might be something going on here.

Why not meet them directly, but rather choose to use him as an intermediary?

And in this meeting room.

Seemingly aware of the leader’s doubts, Shangguan Heng said sheepishly, "Because of some misunderstanding due to my sister and my nephew, if I went to see him, he might just kick me out. It’s fine, you just help notify them. If they don’t come, then let it be."

The leader hesitated only for a moment before making the call.

Xia Bowen, with an inscrutable expression, responded warmly, "Good, I’ll be right there."

"Director Xia, I’ll send a car for you right away."

"Thank you, we’ll talk when we meet."

After exchanging pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

At this moment, Zhong Daqiao arrived, toughening up for the occasion. He didn’t dare go to Beidu, but coming to Nan City was doable.

He didn’t accompany Shangguan Heng; he was picking up his son, and his son wouldn’t dare hit him.

Thus, Zhong Daqiao, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, went directly to the venue.

Xia Bowen went to find Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan.

He said that Shangguan Heng had arrived.

Song Yunuan, observing his expression, asked, "He hasn’t come here, has he? Wouldn’t be at the city government office, right?"

"...You actually guessed it. He’s in the meeting room at the city government."

Xia Bowen could not help but marvel at Little Nuan’s intelligence.

If this girl were to enter politics, she would definitely have a bright future.

This ability to say the right thing to the right person, ordinary people don’t have that.

And her skill in language and the ability to remain calm and composed, to sway the hearts of people, truly made her a genius.

Song Yunuan was not surprised; Shangguan Heng was not foolish enough to just show up and get beaten.

Once stepping onto this land, he would be facing almost nothing but enemies.

Finding a place of refuge was best.

The city government was the first choice.

But why didn’t she believe that Shangguan Heng really wanted to cooperate sincerely?

Of course, it was not her business to worry about.

Xia Xindong’s brows slightly furrowed.

He didn’t feel a bloodthirsty urge anymore, but he detested Shangguan Heng tremendously.

That man was an undeniable demon.

It was also the source of nightmares.

He told Song Liang to take Little Nuan and Xia Bowen with him to the city government office, so there was no need for them to worry. He instructed Little Asheng to be good and play with daddy at the venue, promising to take him to the zoo once they were finished with their work.

Little Asheng, however, took out a small box and solemnly handed it over to Xia Xindong, "Uncle Xia, this is my good friend. Could you let it keep you company?"

Xia Xindong didn’t hesitate, taking the small wooden box and solemnly putting it in his jacket pocket.

Song Yunuan went to find Zhong Shaoqing and told him that Shangguan Heng had arrived, and it was possible that Zhong Daqiao was also there, asking him to go to the city government with them.

Zhong Shaoqing hesitated for a moment, "Is it okay for me to go too?"

"Of course it’s okay. Don’t think that sixty thousand yuan is really enough for the medical expenses—it’s not. My Second Grandpa’s consultation fees are very expensive. Hurry up and follow us."

If Zhong Daqiao came to the venue and blocked people by standing on a moral high ground to take them back, then her efforts would all have been in vain.

Zhong Shaoqing obediently nodded and followed Song Yunuan out of the venue.

Song Yunuan said, "We need two cars, there are taxis over there. Second Young Master Zhong and I will take a taxi to the city government."

Xia Bowen immediately said, "You ride with your uncle, and I will take a taxi with Shaoqing."

There were quite a few taxis at the entrance of the venue, which had increased in number this year compared to last year, when there were hardly any.

Unexpectedly, the leaders had been very thorough and had arranged for two cars, well-prepared for any eventuality.

Thus, they reached the entrance of the city government in silence and without delay.

The person who came to meet them was a secretary, who said they were in the middle of a meeting.

Before they could even get out of the car, they saw Gu Huai’an descending the steps, surrounded by people like the moon accompanied by stars.

Gu Huai’an, tall and elegant, walked amidst the crowd, accompanied by seven or eight people who looked like leaders.

Gu Huai’an’s car was not far away.

Someone came over, looking hurried and directed the two cars to move backward.

The driver busily moved the car in another direction.

No wonder there were so few at the entrance, it must have been cleared out.

The so-called being surrounded by stars was nothing special after all.

However, after Gu Huai’an exchanged a few words with the leaders seeing him off, he walked towards Song Yunuan and her group.

Xia Bowen watched Gu Huai’an with a complex expression, thinking that he was supposed to be very busy, yet they kept seeing him often.

Gu Huai’an politely greeted Xia Bowen and Xia Xindong.

And also nodded lightly to Zhong Shaoqing, who stood at the back of the crowd.

When they learned they were there to see Shangguan Heng, Gu Huai’an said, "I’ll join you if that’s convenient?"

Song Yunuan smiled, "Aren’t you busy?"

Gu Huai’an, "I’m not busy anymore."

And so, the group headed inside the main entrance.

The person who had escorted Gu Huai’an was the top official here. Seeing Gu Huai’an return, he didn’t ask why. He nodded at Xia Bowen and then they entered the government office building together.

The secretary looked back, sensing that there was something unusual about this group.

Once they reached the conference room, Xia Xindong and Xia Bowen instantly spotted Shangguan Heng seated in the center of the crowd.

They didn’t see Zhong Daqiao, but Shangguan Heng’s bodyguards were not few, and among those who had come with him was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him, probably Shangguan Heng’s son.

Seeing Xia Bowen, he should have called him uncle, but clearly, they were very unfamiliar with each other.

The man was also very silent.

This wasn’t the first time that Song Yunuan had seen Shangguan Heng.

In the triggers of the plot, she had seen him several times.

One year older than Xia Bowen, but he seemed much younger.

Gentle and scholarly with his gold-rimmed glasses, anyone unaware would have thought he was a professor at some university.

Song Yunuan stared at him for several moments without triggering any plot, but the man’s face was filled with smiles, and his eyes contained tears, a real performance master.

When Shangguan Heng saw these three people, he immediately stood up from his seat.

The leader had met Xia Bowen at the opening ceremony, and they now exchanged pleasantries.

The others watched them too.

It was unclear if the meeting should proceed.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Heng said, "Bowen, Xia Xindong, you must be Little Nuan. I’m so happy to see you, but we are in the middle of a meeting. Could you wait for a moment, is that okay?"
