Chapter 314: Chapter 318 Interest (3)

What surprised him even more was that the person he had tried so hard to ingratiate himself with was acting so subservient in front of Situ Xuan!

"Regarding that film and television center, I still need your care and attention."

Situ Xuan stood tall amidst them, his height imposing, and his clothing immaculate—seemingly providing a great pressure effortlessly!

One must know that the Situ family is not only a well-known Chinese-American lineage in the United States, but they also have ties to the domestic political scene. One of the eight Democratic parties, the Zhi-Gong Party, can trace its roots back to the renowned "Hongmen." And the Situ family is the largest and most influential lineage of Hongmen in North America.

Although their influence on politics has waned over the years, with many family businesses gradually moving into the financial sector, the Situ family still remains the undisputed number one overseas Chinese family!

With such a background, Situ Xuan naturally had the confidence to regard the director of a small Shangcheng City construction bureau as insignificant!

"How can you say that? You are too kind," Director Chen’s face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum. His purpose in coming to the Sheraton for the meeting was to discuss collaboration with Situ Xuan, "Please, this way, let’s go inside."

But Situ Xuan did not move, his gaze casually falling on Wang Shuoming at his side!

Director Chen was no fool; he could see the conflict between Wang Shuoming and Situ Xuan and immediately assumed an authoritative demeanor, sternly glaring at Wang Shuoming, "That case of yours, we need to review it thoroughly! When the time for bidding comes, it will all be about capability. Taking shortcuts and crooked paths, that won’t work!"

In an instant, Wang Shuoming’s face turned ashen. A mere casual look from Situ Xuan destroyed all his efforts and, to make matters worse, he was completely unable to resist!

"Shall we go?" Director Chen asked warmly, smiling as he ushered them inside. Situ Xuan, however, glanced at Jian Anning beside him and said indifferently, "I have a small personal matter to attend to."

Director Chen’s eyes slid suggestively to Jian Anning and Zhao Ziyin at the side, nodding in understanding, "Ha ha, of course. ’A young man who isn’t frivolous is wasting his youth,’ as the saying goes. It’s only right, only right."

-------------------------------

Meanwhile, Jian Anning was helping Zhao Ziyin out the door.

The recent events had drained all of Zhao Ziyin’s strength. She had completely given up on Wang Shuoming, but she felt as if she was entirely out of energy, almost collapsing to the ground.

Situ Xuan quickly took a few steps to catch up with the two women, "Miss Jian."

"Mr. Situ, thank you for earlier," Jian Anning stopped walking and stood still. She was genuinely grateful to him. Although they had only known each other for a mere day, he had helped her twice.

"You’re welcome," Situ Xuan replied gracefully, nodding his head as his grey-blue eyes earnestly looked at her.

His suit was immaculately tailored, without a wrinkle, and his mature and composed features contrasted sharply with Yu Zexiao’s capricious arrogance. Especially when those grey-blue eyes gazed at her, it was like looking into the midnight starry sky, filled with a profound sense of melancholy.

"If you have other matters, then I shall take my leave."
