661: Chapter 662: Chess Master Ma Yunjie_1 661: Chapter 662: Chess Master Ma Yunjie_1 “Adapt!”
Shi Fanling didn’t expect that Xiao Chen, such a significant figure, would actually care about her as a junior secretary.
She quickly nodded.
“As long as you’ve adapted, there’s no need to be so reserved.
Here at Xinng Group, we’re all friends, all brothers and sisters.
Just be serious about work, and relax at other tis.
Co on, let’s go to the gathering spot,”
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“Mmm!”
Shi Fanling drove Zhao Ya’nan’s car towards the hotel where the gathering was being held.
Actually, the place wasn’t as upscale as the hotel where they were staying.
It was probably chosen to accommodate most people’s economic situations.
Even so, it was still the second most expensive hotel in Xiongcheng City.
The average spending per person was definitely over a thousand yuan.
At the hotel entrance, there were only luxury cars parked.
In comparison, Zhao Ya’nan’s two “New Century” cars stood out among the others.
Although in terms of appearance and comfort, they were not inferior to those luxury cars, the brand wasn’t as prestigious.
Zhao Ya’nan also had a luxury car gifted by the company, but she didn’t drive it.
Nowadays, it was rare for people at Xinng Group to drive cars other than company ones.
It wasn’t just a matter of responsibility; more so, they truly believed Xinng cars were good.
They believed it from the bottom of their hearts.
Inside the private room, there were already dozens of people.
They were all students of Teacher Fang and Fang Enze.
However, not all these students necessarily knew each other, since many were not from the sa cohorts.
There were also many who hadn’t arrived, either because they weren’t doing well and didn’t want to co,
or because they didn’t feel grateful to Fang Enze.
Still, it was expected that several hundred students would show up.
This showed how popular Teacher Fang truly was among his students.
“Why are you guys here?”
Lin Huai had arrived early, but his brother was nowhere to be seen; probably still in the hospital with severe injuries.
“Why can’t we co?”
Jiang ng looked at Lin Huai and said, “If Lin senior can call for a car, why can’t we?”
“And how may I address this beautiful lady?
Lin senior, please do introduce her.”
Jiang ng’s beauty attracted the attention of many.
There were only two people from her cohort present: herself and Zhao Ya’nan.
Therefore, they were quite unfamiliar faces here.
“This is Jiang ng, the last cohort of students taught by Teacher Fang, the school beauty back in the day!
The one next to her is nad Zhao Ya’nan, her classmate,”
Lin Huai introduced Jiang ng and Zhao Ya’nan and then turned to Xiao Chen, saying, “This guy is Jiang ng’s driver!”
He had always thought Xiao Chen was Jiang ng’s driver because Xiao Chen dressed too plainly, without any branded items on him.
“Hello, fellow classmates.
I’m Chairman Jiang ng’s driver.
My na is Xiao Chen!”
Xiao Chen said with a slight smile.
He didn’t mind others saying he was Jiang ng’s driver because for him, being Jiang ng’s driver was a matter of pride.
Lin Huai sneered, “Today is our classmate gathering.
What right does a driver have to co in?”
After what had happened today, although he didn’t know how Xiao Chen and Jiang ng got out of the police station,
he truly had it in for Xiao Chen.
“Lin senior, it doesn’t matter.
One more person just adds another pair of chopsticks!”
Fang Bingnan said with a smile.
Fang Bingnan was Teacher Fang Fang Enze’s grandson and also his student.
The gathering today was actually suggested by him and Lin Huai.
Fang Bingnan held the position of Head of Legal Affairs at Fang Group in Xiongcheng City and had a considerable status within the Fang Family.
Lin Huai was the HR manager of Langpu Group, a position of high respect.
“A driver should have the awareness of being a driver.
If we all brought our own people, wouldn’t it beco a ss?”
Lin Huai coldly said.
Just at that mont, the door to the private room suddenly opened.
Soone else had arrived.
Everyone’s attention quickly shifted away from Xiao Chen.
Because the person who had co in was quite a formidable figure among all of Teacher Fang Enze’s students.
There were many wealthy people present, but this person actually didn’t have much money.
But he had power.
“Zhang Qin’an, co over here and have a seat!”
Zhang Qin’an, thirty-eight years old, was an official within the bureaucratic system of Xiongcheng City.
Although his position wasn’t very high, an official within the system—that alone sounded quite different.
“Have you all been waiting for ?”
Zhang Qin’an sat down with a smile, satisfied with everyone’s reaction.
There were many here who were wealthier than him, but many gave him face.
Whether it was Fang Bingnan or Lin Huai.
Even Teacher Fang Enze valued Zhang Qin’an highly, considering him both sensible and outstanding.
At thirty-eight, Lin Huai was already in charge of the leadership of the Xiongcheng City Chamber of Comrce.
Definitely a first-line official.
“Has sothing happened?”
Fang Bingnan asked.
“Don’t ntion it, there was a traffic accident!”
Zhang Qin’an shook his head and said.
“A traffic accident?
Where?
But what does a traffic accident have to do with you, the person in charge of the Chamber of Comrce?”
Lin Huai asked, puzzled.
“I’m not sure exactly where, but it seems a high-profile figure had an accident, alarming the people from the provincial governnt.
I was called in at the last minute to cover for soone else and lend a hand!”
Zhang Qin’an said.
“What high-profile figure, to alarm even the people from the provincial governnt?”
Lin Huai asked.
He had initially wondered if it was his own car accident they were talking about, but after hearing Zhang Qin’an ntion a high-profile figure, he imdiately dismissed that thought.
What high-profile figure would drive an old dostic car?
“I’m not entirely sure, but his identity is very mysterious, even our boss isn’t clear about it.
I just overheard them chatting about it, and it seems he might be a soldier, very likely an officer!”
Zhang Qin’an shook his head and added, “Unfortunately the person’s a big shot, and I certainly don’t have the status to et him.”
Jiang ng glanced at Xiao Chen and took his hand.
She actually didn’t know Xiao Chen’s true identity; Xiao Chen never talked about it and she had never asked.
But in her heart, she had long regarded her husband as a towering hero.
Now it seed that her thoughts were probably not wrong.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, if this big shot could co to attend Teacher’s birthday celebration, the Teacher would surely be overjoyed.”
Lin Huai mused.
“Yeah!
But that’s pretty unlikely.
Right now, Teacher would probably hope more to get the chessboard of Ma Yunjie, the 9-dan player!”
“It’s a pity that none of us have much of a connection with Ma Yunjie, the 9-dan player.”
“Whoever could help Teacher achieve this wish would probably bring him imnse joy.
His greatest wish in life is to play a ga against Ma Yunjie himself, or failing that, to acquire Ma Yunjie’s chessboard.”
“I just heard today that Ma Yunjie, the 9-dan player, has arrived in Xiongcheng.”
Zhang Qin’an suddenly said, “There’s a boss in the Chamber who’s familiar with him.
After I go back, I’ll have him think of a way, see if we can invite Ma Yunjie over.
After all, he’s an extrely proud chess player, not soone you can invite with money alone, nor can you use force.
It has to be with his consent!”
“We leave it all to you then!”
Actually, Zhang Qin’an really had no confidence in his heart.
Ma Yunjie, the 9-dan player, was no ordinary person; he was an extrely proud individual.
He had asked several bosses from the Chamber to extend an invitation, even offering tens of millions in remuneration, but all were refused by him.
