Chapter 371 Hong Family Dinner
Chapter 371 Hong Family Dinner
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Qin Chuan.
Clearly, none of them expected Qin Chuan to utter such arrogant words.
Yu Jie raised her hand and slapped Qin Chuan's arm: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. This is not how you show off."
David's cousin really has no tact when it comes to talking. Luckily, David doesn't understand Chinese, or he would be angry too.
"Let me tell you, you can say these things in private, no, you can't say them in private either. When you get to the banquet later, don't say anything like that. Those big shots can understand Chinese."
Then she added another instruction.
"Sister, I'm telling the truth." Qin Chuan said with a hint of helplessness.
"You still dare to say that?" Yu Jie glared at her.
However, after that one sentence, Yu Jie's team's impression of Qin Chuan has dropped considerably.
A student who had just graduated from university made such outrageous remarks.
In their eyes, what's the difference between this and college students asking for a million-dollar annual salary?
Li Fang gave a barely audible snort. After all, President Yu's younger brother was still not mature enough and lacked the harsh realities of society. Having just entered the workforce, he only knew how to talk big. Little did he know that to someone as experienced as her, his words were nothing but a joke.
"Mr. Yu just had to put me in charge of this kind of person, sigh..."
She sighed inwardly, because she knew very well that young people who didn't know how to be humble were actually very difficult to manage.
The main issue is that in today's society, who would bother to dedicate time and energy to training these kinds of young people?
Li Fang simply wasn't willing to spend the time.
Forget it, I'll just give her a token introduction then. I still have to give President Yu face, but it's basically impossible to expect her to teach me seriously.
"Kid, don't talk so arrogantly."
At that moment, David suddenly started speaking in extremely difficult Chinese.
Mr. Yu and the others were all surprised to hear this; it turned out that David could speak Chinese.
Wang Minghan looked slightly embarrassed: "David, he's just a newcomer to society, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, David, my younger brother is being irresponsible," Yu Jie said apologetically.
David waved his hand: "Don't do that once we're at the banquet. If you offend those important people, I can't protect you. Anyway, don't say I brought you in."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Yu Jie nodded repeatedly.
"Get in the car." David glanced at Qin Chuan again, his eyes full of disdain.
A group of people got on the bus.
Yu Jie and Qin Chuan sat together, and she was telling Qin Chuan not to speak at the banquet later.
"Sister, I'm telling the truth." Qin Chuan didn't care about the people at the banquet. Even if the chief steward of the Hongmen came, he would kill them without hesitation.
"You..." Yu Jie was furious.
Why does my cousin love to show off so much?
Yu Jie warned, "Just don't say a word to me later!"
Liu Zhizhi was also in the same back row. She glanced at Qin Chuan and was somewhat disappointed. Although he was handsome, he was too immature and not presentable.
Perhaps in a few years, when he's a bit more mature, he'll realize how ridiculous his words were today.
For the rest of the journey, everyone remained mostly silent.
Two Cadillacs quickly arrived at the Hong Group's banquet venue. It was already six o'clock in the beautiful country. The banquet was held at an extremely luxurious hotel, with all kinds of sports cars and luxury cars parked at the entrance.
There were many foreigners coming and going, as well as many Chinese.
After all, the founder of the Hong Group is a Chinese citizen; he just expands his business overseas.
The reason why the Hong Group has been able to grow to such a large size is mainly due to one reason, which is known to many: the Hong Group is backed by the Hongmen.
David led Yu Jie and the others smoothly into the hotel venue, which was already packed with people, all of whom were very wealthy.
"That's... tech tycoon Mr. Cliff!"
"Wow, that's the president of BB Group..."
"And the world-renowned Odyssey family..."
When Yu Jie's team arrived, they were all amazed to see so many big shots who could only be seen in the news.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a banquet hosted by our Hong Group. Do you know what's behind the Hong Group?" David said smugly in broken Chinese.
"What's behind me?" Liu Zhizhi asked instinctively.
David cleared his throat: "Backed by the Hongmen, the largest overseas power. Don't be fooled by the many powerful families present; they are still somewhat inferior to the Hongmen. For example, even the Odyssey family has to treat the Hongmen with utmost respect."
Yu Jie and the others were all bewildered and impressed by these forces.
Only Wang Minghan managed to chime in: "David, I heard that the Odyssey family had some trouble recently, didn't they?"
David nodded: "It's not a secret. Some time ago, Caesar of the Odyssey family, who was also the former elder of the Earth Martial Arts Alliance, was killed, as was the young master of the Odyssey family."
"What?!"
Yu Jie and the others were just ordinary people, so it was understandable that they were horrified when they heard about the killing.
"This is a matter of martial arts, and you probably wouldn't understand it even if I told you." David's words carried a hint of arrogance, after all, it was quite difficult to discover the secrets of martial arts.
David knew some of this mainly because the Odyssey family was not only a martial arts family, but also had businesses all over the world. Moreover, when the Odyssey family members were killed, there were many people present at the scene, so this information naturally spread.
"I heard that the young master of the Odyssey family was killed by a family enemy?" Wang Minghan asked uncertainly.
Yu Jie and the others were very curious because such a big event had not been reported in the news at all, so they were completely unaware of it.
David's expression turned serious: "Actually, no, it's because this young master of Odyssey, Jerry, offended some big shot."
"A big shot?" Even Wang Minghan was a little curious this time.
"Did the Odyssey family take revenge?" Yu Jie asked.
"no."
David shook his head.
This surprised everyone even more. Anyone who has done business knows what kind of family the Odyssey is. Perhaps many people don't know that the Odyssey family is also a martial arts family, but they are, after all, a family that does big business.
As a result, the young master was killed, but the Odyssey family did not seek revenge?
Seeing the shock of the crowd, David lowered his voice: "Do you know who killed the Odyssey family?"
"Who is it?"
"He originated from your Dragon Kingdom; he is known as the Qin Heavenly Emperor!"
