Chapter 400: Chapter 400 What, President Chu is here too?! (1/5)

"No matter what, although it was because Kong Yongfeng was showing off and getting into a bet with Chu Chen, the Kong Family still had to come up with 500 million."

"But in his call with grandpa, Kong Yongfeng shifted all the blame onto Chu Chen."

"He painted Chu Chen as a despicable villain, as if he was the biggest scoundrel."

"In the car, Old Master Kong was trembling with rage."

"The Kong Family was renowned in Shanghai, yet they were scammed by a junior this time."

"Not only did their reputation plummet, but they also had to cough up 500 million?!"

"The more he thought about it, the angrier Old Master Kong got. He was ready to give Chu Chen a piece of his mind."

"Asking them to give up 500 million, what a pipe dream!"

"Even when Kong Yongfeng wanted to shine at the charity banquet and put up a billion, the Kong Family deliberated for a month."

"That’s how they reached a decision!"

"Being stingy was, after all, a fine tradition of the Kong Family!"

"..."

"On the other side, as the donations ended, the charity banquet officially started."

"For Old Li, the donations were the highlight, but for the guests, the real highlight was just beginning."

"These guests came partly to show respect to Old Li, but mostly to network with influential individuals."

"In Shanghai, Old Li’s reputation was esteemed, and many bigshots would attend."

"After the donations ended, guests began mingling and getting to know each other."

"Those from Tangchen Group, the Haolin Group who donated 40 million, and Qijing Group who gave a billion were among the most popular."

"Even Kong Yongfeng had a handful of guests around him."

"Yet, Chu Chen, who donated the most, was surrounded by silence!"

"Although Chu Chen donated 10 billion, which shocked the guests and made them admire his generosity, that was it."

"In their eyes, Chu Chen was just an unknown figure."

"Not worthy of their fawning or flattery!"

"On the contrary, they found groups like Tangchen Group and Qijing Group worth mingling with."

"Chu Chen, at this moment, paid no mind to all this, as he was busy checking the system."

"[Ding]"

"[Task Complete]"

"[System Reward: Tenfold Rebate Card]"

"[Activate?]"

"’Activate.’"

"[Congratulations, host, you’ve received 100 billion in funds, now deposited into your bank account]"

"In an instant, Chu Chen’s card showed 100 billion in funds, giving him much greater flexibility for future endeavors."

"When he last acquired part of Prada’s shares, Chu Chen had expended a significant amount of working capital."

"Meanwhile, Old Li was also very excited."

"’By the way, share the good news with everyone.’"

"Old Li instructed people to relay tonight’s donation news to other members of the charity organization."

"Though Old Li was the chief manager of the charity, there were other key members as well."

"Old Li’s assistant contacted others, while Old Li personally got in touch with their most prominent vice president and the Chairman of Qiankun Group, Zhao Yuanliang."

"Zhao Yuanliang was a top-tier figure in Shanghai."

"When the call connected and Zhao Yuanliang heard Old Li’s news, he nodded slightly."

"’Congratulations, Brother Li.’"

"Zhao Yuanliang replied calmly. To someone like him, 10 billion wasn’t startling, not worth being amazed over."

"’By the way, who’s this person that donated 10 billion?’"

"As Zhao Yuanliang sat in his villa sipping tea, he asked curiously."

"’His name is Chu Chen, a young man.’"

"Old Li replied, though he didn’t know much about Chu Chen either."

"After ending the call, Old Li prepared to speak with Chu Chen and express his gratitude towards him."

"’What?!’"

"’Chu Chen?’"

"Upon hearing Old Li’s words, the previously composed Zhao Yuanliang shot up from his couch."

"’Brother Li, keep Mr. Chu there, I’m heading over right away.’"

"After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yuanliang grabbed his car keys and headed straight to Old Li’s charity banquet, brimming with excitement."

"Originally, Zhao Yuanliang looked down on such charity events, thinking it wasn’t worth a personal visit, as he could simply send over some money."

"Thus, he stayed home leisurely sipping tea."

"But now, knowing that Chu Chen was attending, Zhao Yuanliang instantly regretted it."

"This charity banquet was one he should have attended."

"Zhao Yuanliang wasn’t just anyone; he was the top-tier mogul who recently signed a billion-dollar contract with Ferrari Group."

"After the previous incident, Zhao Yuanliang wanted to make a good connection with Chu Chen but wasn’t sure how."

"Now, the opportunity had presented itself."

"He would pretend it was a serendipitous encounter at the charity banquet."

"Time flew by, and Old Master Kong also arrived."

"With Old Master Kong’s arrival, many guests approached to greet him, as he was the Sect Leader of the Kong Family."

"’Old Li.’"

"Even as the head of the Kong Family, Old Master Kong politely addressed Old Li when they met."

"After all, there was a level difference between them; they couldn’t interact as equals."

"’Mingda is here.’"

"Old Li nodded towards Old Master Kong."

"In terms of age, Old Master Kong Mingda was seven or eight years younger than Old Li."

"’By the way, don’t forget to hand over the five billion later.’"

"’You have quite a grandson, different from your miserly self, who donated so much in one go.’"

"Old Li teased."

"’Alright.’"

"Upon hearing Old Li’s words, Old Master Kong had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree."

"He indeed had a ’good grandson’!"

"When he got home, he’d certainly use family rules to ’teach’ his good grandson a lesson!"

"But for now, teaching that Chu Chen a lesson was most important."
