Zhao Jian swore to himself that he must recover the face he had lost, or else he wouldn’t be able to establish a foothold in this circle ever again!
What happened before was just a minor interlude.
The atmosphere at the scene quickly beca lively and warm again.
But it was different from before.
Although Anran had introduced Chen Nan as her boyfriend before, no one had taken the initiative to greet him, nor had anyone co over to offer a toast.
Now it was different.
After Wang Guodong’s secretary left, those handso n and beautiful won ca forward one after another with their wine glasses to make friendly overtures.
Even that woman wearing a black bikini, with a sexy figure and charming looks, nad Yangyang, stepped forward to apologize and ingratiate herself.
Even though she had previously thought Chen Nan was after Anran’s money, now it seed that was not the case.
Being able to know a big shot like Wang Guodong, this kind of person certainly wasn’t short on money.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to blend into that circle.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to slap a smiling face.
Not to ntion that these people were all there to celebrate Anran’s birthday.
Even if Chen Nan didn’t enjoy interacting with strangers,
he still behaved like a gentleman and won the favor of many people.
Because in the eyes of many, so powerful and influential figures are very difficult to approach.
But Chen Nan made a comfortable impression.
Zhao Jian also apologized to Chen Nan for his previous behavior, admitting his shortsightedness and hoping that Chen Nan could forgive his disrespect.
Chen Nan, of course, hadn’t taken the previous incident to heart.
On the contrary, Zhao Jian’s public apology to Chen Nan made many people take a new view of him, seeing him as an upright and daring person.
While everyone was enjoying their drinks and having a good ti, Anran brought Chen Nan to the long table, her smile blooming like a flower, with a charming smile on her face, "Husband, try this freshly roasted at. It’s slow-cooked at a low temperature, so it has a completely different texture from regular roast at."
She said this while picking up a fork, skewering a piece of roast at, and smiling as she offered it to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan opened his mouth to eat the roast at, which was juicy and tender, definitely the best-textured roast at he had ever tasted.
Just then,
a woman wearing a white bikini with a pure and lovely face and an equally stunning figure spoke up, "Anran, I heard that your company has been wanting to acquire that plot of land in the western city to develop a golf course?"
Her na was Youyou.
Anran responded with a sigh, "We’ve contacted the governnt people several tis, but we haven’t co to an agreent."
The Lu Family’s business in Jizhou mainly revolves around catering, tourism, and entertainnt, holding a certain influence in these sectors.
Although the Lu Family had always wanted to take things a step further, it was as difficult as reaching for the skies.
That’s why they intended to build a golf course in the western city of Jizhou, as there wasn’t one there yet.
If the plan could be realized, the Lu Family could thus transform and accumulate a vast network of connections, especially since golf courses usually operate on a mbership basis, which would benefit their future developnt.
They might even beco a true wealthy family.
At this mont,
Zhao Jian’s voice suddenly rang out, his face wearing a faint smile, full of confidence, "If that’s the case, I might be able to offer a bit of help."
Youyou, curious, asked, "Do you know a big shot in the governnt?"
In Anran’s eyes, curiosity was also evident.
Although they both knew so people in governnt circles,
ordinary people simply could not provide such a big favor to Anran.
Zhao Jian laughed, "The person’s position is not very high, but if Anran wants that plot of land in the west of the city, he can still help you settle the matter."
"It’s just going to cost so money."
Anran was elated, "If we can secure that plot of land, spending so money is only right and proper."
Yangyang spoke up, her eyes gleaming with a skeptical light, "Zhao Jian, how co I didn’t know you knew such an important person? You can’t bluff about this kind of thing!"
Zhao Jian chuckled lightly, a proud look crossing his face, "Who doesn’t know a few important people these days?"
"Don’t rush, I’m calling him right now."
Seeing Zhao Jian make a call in front of everyone, all showed surprised expressions. Although the Zhao Family had a small reputation in Jizhou with assets in the tens of millions.
But no one expected that Zhao Jian could know that kind of big shot from the city governnt.
If that was the case, they would have to get closer to him in the future.
Of course.
In so people’s eyes, they didn’t rule out the possibility that Zhao Jian was just putting on a front, especially since he lost face in front of Chen Nan and wanted to regain his dignity through this.
If he really could help Lu Anran secure that plot of land in the west of the city, he could definitely recover his dignity. Otherwise, he would surely fall from grace today and beco the joke of the circle.
The call connected quickly, and Zhao Jian got straight to the point, "Brother Liu, good evening, it’s like this, I have a friend who is interested in a piece of land in the west of the city, but hasn’t been able to secure it. I was wondering if you had any way to help."
"When are you available? Shall we et in person?"
"What? You’re at Hot Spring Villa?"
"That’s quite a coincidence. I’m around here too."
"It’s my sister’s birthday today!"
"We’re all here celebrating her birthday."
"Really?"
"If you could co, that would really be an honor for us."
"Great, great, I’ll go to the entrance to welco you right away."
With an excited face, Zhao Jian hung up the phone and eagerly turned to the crowd with a laugh, "Did you expect that? That big shot is also at Hot Spring Villa."
"He heard I was here and wants to co over to et."
"I’m sure that as long as he cos, the land that Anran is interested in is almost in the bag."
"I won’t say who he is just yet, but I guarantee you’ll all be surprised when he arrives."
He deliberately left it a mystery, then stood up and headed outside.
Seeing Zhao Jian so thrilled, everyone exchanged glances, secretly speculating about the identity of the important person he ntioned.
As insiders, they all knew Zhao Jian’s character.
Though he often looked down on others and was not the most likable speaker, he rarely bragged excessively.
"I’m going to touch up my makeup upstairs."
Lu Anran was also very excited, as that plot of land was critical for the Lu Family’s successful transformation, making it very important to her.
If she could finalize this deal during her birthday, it would indeed be a wonderful event.
Therefore, she needed to touch up her makeup and take the matter seriously.
Chen Nan whispered, "Let’s go, I’ll join you."
Lu Anran humd a response and imdiately led Chen Nan towards the villa.
Once they entered the second-floor room, she threw herself into Chen Nan’s arms and planted a passionate kiss on him, her beautiful eyes full of deep love, "I’m so happy you could co!"
"Go touch up your makeup!" Chen Nan smiled, "When it’s late at night and all is quiet, I’ll take good care of you!" Saying that, he gave her a knowing look.
Blushing, Lu Anran humd in response, her eyes filled with anticipation.
anwhile.
Zhao Jian also appeared with a middle-aged man before everyone’s eyes.
At the sight of the middle-aged man.
Everybody felt their scalps tingle and a thick layer of goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
How could it be him?
