"Let’s go, take to see your boss," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Alright, Mr. Ye, please follow ."
Lin Tao respectfully responded and gestured with a ’please’ motion before taking the lead.
Ye Xuan gave Sun Xiaong a look and stood up from the couch, following behind Lin Tao. Sun Xiaong understood, slowly leaned into Ye Xuan’s embrace, and allowed him to wrap his arm around her as the three of them exited the private room.
After about a three-minute walk, they followed Lin Tao through a series of twists and turns, finally arriving at a luxurious room down the hallway.
At this mont, there were no fewer than ten people in the room, all dressed in sharp black suits, stationed at various spots. Their stern expressions made it quite clear that these were bodyguards.
And at the center of the room sat a middle-aged man with his hair tied in a ponytail, comfortably lounging in a leather armchair with a cigar in his mouth, puffing away with the air of a movie gangster boss.
This man was the behind-the-scenes owner of Jade Hall, nad Xie Wending, nicknad ’Scorpion.’ In the underworld of East Sea, he was also considered a prominent figure!
Upon seeing Ye Xuan being brought in, Xie Wending slightly squinted his eyes, scanned him from top to bottom, and then rose to greet him.
"Hehe, I presu this is the great Young Master Ye? Indeed, a young talent! My na is Xie Wending, owner of the Jade Pearl. It’s an honor to et you, Mr. Ye,"
Xie Wending greeted Ye Xuan with a fist salute and laughed heartily.
With his status as the owner of Jade Pearl, he actually didn’t need to be so courteous with Ye Xuan!
However, if Ye Xuan’s identity as the owner of the Black Card from the Huasheng Bank was genuine, then here was a potential major client. If he could curry favor with Ye Xuan, the annual inco brought in could be a handso figure, so of course, he wouldn’t put on airs.
A glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he replied indifferently, "So, you’re Mr. Xie. Hello."
After speaking, he too gestured with a fist, his deanor composed and unruffled. This behavior made Xie Wending even more convinced of Ye Xuan’s identity!
"Ah Tao, you can go out. I’ll have a word with Mr. Ye alone,"
Xie Wending turned his head and casually instructed Lin Tao, then smiled at Ye Xuan, "Mr. Ye, please have a seat over here."
Ye Xuan nodded, walked over with Sun Xiaong still in his arms, and sat down on the sofa opposite Xie Wending, with Lang Feng standing closely behind him.
After Lin Tao left, Xie Wending walked back and signaled to one of the black-suited bodyguards with his eyes before taking his seat again!
The bodyguard, understanding the cue, took out an exquisite little wooden box from his person, presented it with both hands to Ye Xuan, opened the box, and bent down to offer it to him.
"Young Master Ye, since you’ve co to my place to shop, I imagine you appreciate the finer things in life! This is my collection of premium cigars. Would you care to try one?"
Xie Wending exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke with a smile on his face.
Ye Xuan glanced at the cigars displayed in the wooden box and spoke indifferently, "Cigars, worth their weight in gold, are indeed a fine thing! But I don’t indulge in such pleasures, especially when there are won present. I don’t like to smoke in front of my own woman."
"Hehe, I wouldn’t have thought Young Master Ye would be such a caring gentleman toward won. You’ve just made think even more highly of you."
With a faint smile, Xie Wending didn’t insist further and motioned with his hand, "Since Mr. Ye doesn’t smoke, then you may go back."
Having said that, he had the bodyguard pack up the wooden box and co back.
As for himself, he took a deep draw from the cigar, then held the half-smoked cigar between his fingers, tapped it on the ashtray, and let it rest at an angle, without taking another puff.
After blowing out the smoke, Xie Wending looked at Ye Xuan with an interested gaze and finally broached the main topic, "Young Master Ye, do you really like that stuff?"
Ye Xuan knew exactly what he was referring to, as he had co for that very thing!
However, he didn’t answer directly but counter-questioned, "Boss Xie, do I seem like I’m fond of it?"
Xie Wending frowned, scrutinized him closely for a mont, and then shook his head, "No, you don’t!"
He added, "Young Master Ye’s complexion is ruddy, his eyes bright, his vital energy all abundant! Ha, forgive my poor eyesight, but I can’t see any trace of you having dabbled with that stuff!"
The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly as he frankly said, "You’re right, I have indeed never touched that thing."
"Then I’m puzzled, if Young Master Ye has never co into contact with it, let alone tried it, why would you want to buy so much all at once?"
He furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes flickered as he observed Ye Xuan closely, trying to discern so clue.
This indeed was sothing he couldn’t understand!
From the first glance at Ye Xuan, he knew the other had never used the stuff!
Because, from any aspect, the other’s ntal state was excellent, clearly different from those who had used it. Yet such a person wanted to buy goods worth five million from him; how could he not be suspicious?
"Boss Xie, do you really not understand? Think about it, rich young masters like , who have more money than they can spend, are always after so excitent in life! And when that excitent gradually fades away, they will recklessly seek out fun to fill the emptiness of their souls."
Ye Xuan had his excuse well-prepared; he knew he couldn’t possibly fool the other, considering he hadn’t used the stuff. Thus, he said asuredly:
"In the past, all I pursued were won and racing, seeking thrills through extre speeds, sex, and the excitent of gambling! But I’ve grown tired of these things; they can no longer satisfy my needs. Therefore, I am eager to find a new kind of thrill, one that can give a sense of novelty. Otherwise, would this boring life not suffocate a person, right, Boss Xie?"
After speaking, Ye Xuan’s eyes brimd with excitent as he fixed his gaze on Xie Wending, conveying his longing for new and thrilling experiences.
A glint appeared in Xie Wending’s eyes, and he chuckled, "Ah, I see, that’s it? It seems Young Master Ye can’t stand solitude. Well, you’ve co to the right person! My ’stuff’ will guarantee you an exhilarating high."
In his view, Ye Xuan’s reason was quite plausible; these wealthy young masters with nothing better to do were always in search of thrills.
Weren’t all those young masters who bought from him seeking novelty and excitent, becoming his loyal custors?
Once soone gets a taste of this thing, there’s no turning back!
With this in mind, his smile deepened. Although he had virtually put aside his concerns about Ye Xuan, for the sake of prudence, it was still necessary to remain vigilant.
"By the way, Young Master Ye! If I may be so bold to ask, do you have any affiliation with the Ye Family from Jianghai Province? If you belong to their family, then there’s absolutely no problem with our transaction! Furthermore, we can establish a long-term cooperation, and I can even offer you substantial discounts."
Xie Wending hesitated for a mont before asking again, his face brightening with a smile.
Now, all he needed to confirm was whether Ye Xuan was a mber of the Ye Family, and then he could sell the goods to Ye Xuan without any worries! Not just five million, even if Ye Xuan asked for fifty million, he would be willing to supply.
Being a mber of the Ye Family was like a gold-plated signboard, unquestionably trustworthy! Moreover, with the Ye Family as a guarantor?
