Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Golden Saber Society
Without the interruption of Wu Tingting, the girl with a middle-schooler syndro, under the guidance of the Wu father and son, Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan smoothly entered the lakefront central villa and went up to the reception room on the second floor.
This is a room the Wu Family has specially set up to entertain important visiting guests. When prominent figures from Shangjing visit, they are usually received here, making it very convenient for hosting!
The room used as the reception area is luxuriously decorated, with a Dali Country cashre carpet laid on the floor. Stepping on it feels soft and comfortable, as if walking on clouds.
In the central position of the reception room, there’s a set of leather sofas. The four of them walked up to the sofa and sat down one after another, with Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan sitting together and the Wu father and son sitting opposite them.
Soon, without Wu Jindao having to call, a pretty maid imdiately brought over so refreshnts and drinks for them to enjoy.
“Brother Ye Xuan, ever since we parted last ti, there’s been no news from you for years. Where have you been enjoying yourself all this ti?”
Wu Jindao took a sip of tea and directly asked with a smile.
It’s been three or four years since they last t. Over these years, there has been no news from him, as if he vanished from the Mortal World, with not a word heard.
If it weren’t for his son ntioning yesterday that Ye Xuan had returned to Shangjing, he would have thought sothing unfortunate had happened to him. How could a person disappear for several years? So at this eting, he voiced his inner doubt, wanting to know where Ye Xuan had been all these years!
“It’s nothing, I just went abroad for a few years to gain so experience, which was also what my ntor required.”
Ye Xuan didn’t elaborate further, simply replying briefly.
“Oh, I see! No wonder there was no news from you; you went abroad. That’s daring of you.”
Wu Jindao nodded in understanding and didn’t pursue further. He knew Ye Xuan didn’t want to elaborate, so he naturally wouldn’t ask more, to avoid displeasing him!
Instead, he changed the topic: “So are you back in the country now? Where are you developing your career, do you have plans to return to Shangjing?”
“I ca to Shangjing to help a friend with sothing, and I’m currently residing in the East Sea,” Ye Xuan said.
“East Sea? How did you end up over there in Jianghai?” Wu Jindao asked in surprise, “What are you doing now?”
Ye Xuan replied with a laugh, “I’m working as a security guard at a company. Of course, because I’m good at it, I’ve now been promoted to sales manager. So, I guess you could say I’m a little leader now!”
What?
“Security guard? Sales manager?” Wu Jindao was taken aback, completely baffled by Ye Xuan’s words.
Pff!
Little Wu, who was sipping tea, was so surprised by Ye Xuan’s words that the tea he’d just drunk spurted out directly.
He stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief, never expecting that his godlike leader would end up working as a security guard at a company? This must be a joke!
Wu Jindao was startled for a mont before he ca to his senses and began to scrutinize Ye Xuan with a peculiar look.
He knew that Ye Xuan wasn’t saying this to make fun of him, so it must be true. This guy really went to work as a security guard!
But considering Ye Xuan is the apprentice of that person, an individual at the pinnacle of society, how could he work as a security guard at a small company?
“Ye Xuan, you… you’re not joking, are you?” Wu Jindao struggled to say after a long pause.
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, sipping his tea with ease.
“Uh… Ye Xuan, I still can’t figure it out. With your status, is it necessary to be a security guard? Do you have any difficulties you’re not telling?” Wu Jindao couldn’t help but ask.
“There’s no secret. I’m doing it completely voluntarily.”
Ye Xuan shrugged and added, “Also, I’m no longer a security guard; I’m a sales manager now!”
Uh…
Wu Jindao and Little Wu exchanged a look, both at a loss for words.
Whether it’s a security guard or a sales manager, to people of their status, it makes no difference at all! What they cared about was why soone of Ye Xuan’s status would choose such a path instead of sothing much higher.
Ye Xuan laughed and said, “It’s not as complicated as you think. I find being a security guard quite nice! After living a high-end life for so long, experiencing this more down-to-earth lifestyle seems like an interesting thing, doesn’t it?”
“Haha! Impressive, boss! As expected of my brother, Little Wu, your awareness is so high, far beyond us ordinary people!”
Little Wu gave a thumbs up, flattering him.
However, Wu Jindao remained skeptical about Ye Xuan’s explanation!
Even if he wanted to experience life for fun, becoming a security guard seems a bit far-fetched. There must be so other reason.
Nonetheless, he couldn’t press for the truth. Whether Ye Xuan wanted to disclose it was his private matter, and it wasn’t his place to interfere.
“Brother Ye Xuan, enough said. If you want to develop your career in Shangjing, feel free to co to ! The Wu family will fully support you, and the Golden Saber Society will be your utmost ally,” Wu Jindao said earnestly.
“Alright! Thanks, Brother Wu. If necessary, I’ll definitely reach out to you.”
Ye Xuan pondered for a mont and then nodded in agreent.
Afterward, the group chatted for a while, and Ye Xuan seed to rember sothing and asked, “By the way, when I ca in just now, I saw that you had arranged a lot of people around your villa. Did sothing happen?”
Upon approaching the Wu family’s villa, he noticed an increase in guards everywhere, with nurous black-clad bodyguards patrolling and inspecting in formation. There were hundreds of them!
Moreover, there were also hidden sentries stationed in many concealed spots around the villa, making the entire area as tightly guarded as an invisible net.
This is a sign of high vigilance! He didn’t understand why the Wu family made such security arrangents, but it certainly wasn’t for anything good.
Could it be that the Golden Saber Society has offended so powerful enemy recently?
Wu Jindao sighed and said, “Ye Xuan, you’ve been away from Shangjing for many years and are completely unaware of the situation here! Now, Shangjing may appear calm on the surface, but beneath it, there’s a raging undercurrent, the situation is very tense. Many old established powers that once stayed out of worldly affairs have awakened from their slumber!”
“Although these lions and crocodiles have been reclusive for years, their heritage is extrely deep. Now they’re annexing so second- and third-tier powers, making the majority of family forces subordinate to them, causing a reshuffle of family powers across Shangjing!”
“Although those first-tier powers remain intact for now, sooner or later, they’ll be targeted too! Once these lions and crocodiles awaken, no one can oppose them! No one can remain unaffected, not even my Wu family. What I’m doing is simply a precaution…”
