Chapter 1679: Chapter 1880: The Banquet Ends
However, just when everyone was in shock and disbelief, Shu Ya smiled, seemingly aware of Hao Jian’s current situation, and then took Hao Jian’s arm, smiling slightly, saying, “Sorry everyone, I was delayed by sothing earlier and arrived late, I truly apologize.”
Hao Jian smiled silently, then looked sweetly at Hao Jian.
Just as everyone was still shocked and surprised, Director Wang, being the most composed among them, imdiately recalled that Hao Jian had indeed told him that he would bring his wife. He thought at the ti that Hao Jian would bring the girl who was with him that day in the Gambling Stone World. However, he didn’t expect Hao Jian’s wife to be the chairman of Shu Ya Group, Shu Ya. He was outright surprised.
Previously, when he saw Liang Yuwei, he already thought Hao Jian was amazing, managing to have such a beautiful girl by his side. Generally, the more beautiful a girl is, the prouder she tends to be. So when he saw Liang Yuwei, he was slightly taken aback; logically, a girl as beautiful as Liang Yuwei wouldn’t be with Hao Jian. After all, although Hao Jian is quite tall and fairly handso, his overall appearance is quite ordinary. To be a bit more critical, he appeared quite shabby.
And Liang Yuwei exuded a strong aura of a high-status offspring, aning given Liang Yuwei’s background and family, it seed impossible for her to be interested in Hao Jian. Yet, Liang Yuwei stayed by Hao Jian’s side, earning his imnse respect.
After all, such capable n are indeed very few.
But when he now heard Hao Jian say his wife is the chairman of Shu Ya Group, and Shu Ya did not deny but rather acquiesced, he was even more astonished.
At this mont, although utterly shocked, he was speechless, not because he doubted Hao Jian’s words but because he was overwheld by them. Suddenly, he started suspecting Hao Jian’s true identity. Hao Jian consistently surprised him, and now he began to question just who Hao Jian really was.
However, as he was pondering, he suddenly recalled sothing crucial: Hao Jian said Shu Ya was his wife, so he was Shu Ya’s husband. The news of Shu Ya’s marriage was indeed widely known at the ti. Could it be that the man she married was Hao Jian?
As soon as he linked this together, it all started to make sense. In a mont, he realized abruptly, snapping out of his shock.
Instantly, it seed he finally knew who Hao Jian truly was, and upon guessing Hao Jian’s real identity, a look of shock and fear appeared on his face. Initially, he thought of Hao Jian as just an ordinary young man with exceptional talent and insight in antiques, intending to cultivate Hao Jian into his right-hand man.
But after realizing Hao Jian’s true identity now, he suddenly found his previous thoughts utterly naive. It turned out that the Hao Jian he had always thought highly of wasn’t an ordinary person but that legendary figure.
Yet at this mont, he was a bit slow on the uptake, not expecting Hao Jian to be that figure. Reflecting on his past dispositions towards Hao Jian, he suddenly felt like laughing at his own folly; how blind he was not to recognize such a significant persona.
As he was gazing at Hao Jian in astonishnt, Hao Jian directed a look his way. Though unsaid, through that look, he understood Hao Jian’s aning. It was apparent that Hao Jian was aware of his true identity being known and the look was not for anything else but to signal him to keep it to himself, not to expose it.
Imdiately, he got the cue. Though greatly taken aback by Hao Jian’s true identity, he continued to compose himself, recalling what Shu Ya just ntioned and promptly adjusted his emotions, directing his gaze to Shu Ya.
At this mont, Shu Ya was full of smiles, with two small dimples on her cheeks, and her entire ensemble elevated her image score considerably, being utterly beautiful beyond comparison.
Thinking so, he imdiately replied, “President Shu, not at all, please have a seat, please sit.”
Upon hearing Director Wang’s words, Hao Jian led Shu Ya to sit down, and only then did Shu Ya smile and take a seat.
Boss Zhu, witnessing this, involuntarily glanced at Mrs. Zhu, looking at Shu Ya and then at her, realizing they were worlds apart. Now, he was even reluctant to look at Mrs. Zhu, considering it an assault on his eyes, and compared with others, President Shu had both elegance and beauty, while Mrs. Zhu only had her obesity left.
He stayed silent but his eye movents and gestures were full of disdain towards Mrs. Zhu.
If it weren’t for Hao Jian’s prior advice, they might have started bickering all over again. However, with Hao Jian present and rembering what he had said, they didn’t dare to act up at all.
This was the power and shock Hao Jian brought; they dared not contest or refute anything he said.
Now, as Shu Ya settled into her seat, Director Wang invited everyone to help themselves to the food and drinks, after all, it was an evening banquet where eating was naturally the central the, and conversing was secondary.
Shu Ya sat next to Hao Jian, serving him food and drinks. Observing this, regardless of her elegance, beauty, or otherwise, Shu Ya appeared flawless, and such a perfect person was already Hao Jian’s wife.
At this point, no one doubted the truth of Hao Jian’s words; they fully believed him. Who else could be served in such a manner by Shu Ya, chairman of Shu Ya Group, if not her husband?
Only Boss Wang, Boss Zhu, and Boss Chen knew that Shu Ya was indeed married, but they didn’t know to whom Shu Ya was married, or who the man was. Though now aware that Hao Jian and Shu Ya were indeed a couple, they were rely astonished by Hao Jian’s ability, managing to have Shu Ya, chairman of Shu Ya Group, at his side, without realizing just how formidable Hao Jian’s true power was.
Among the people present, perhaps only Director Wang knew exactly who married Shu Ya. Now that he knew Hao Jian’s identity, he remained outwardly composed but beneath the table, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and his palms were sweating profusely.
He hadn’t imagined, hadn’t realized that Hao Jian was the overlord of Hua City, soone who could wield power and influence the winds and clouds in Hua City, that it was actually Hao Jian.
At this mont, his heart was filled with shock, but given Hao Jian’s request, he dared not reveal it to others, remaining quietly shocked internally, though the more he held it in, the more restless he beca.
Thus, about ten minutes later, the dinner ended in anxious tension. As Director Wang stood up, he found his legs slightly weak from fright and nearly stumbled but luckily there was a chair to support him.
At this ti, Boss Zhu and Mrs. Zhu got up and approached Hao Jian, offering a few flattering words, to which Hao Jian simply smiled, clearly understanding their inner thoughts, and replied, “Don’t worry, follow the prescription I provided, you should feel much better soon. If there’s still discomfort, contact Director Wang, and he will reach out to , and I will co to take a look personally.”
Hearing Hao Jian’s response, Boss Zhu and Mrs. Zhu’s faces lit up, and they hurriedly bid farewell to Hao Jian and everyone else, then quickly left, rushing to the pharmacy to fill the prescription and take the dication.
However, they were unaware that they had no actual ailnts, just so discomfort, and the dicine Hao Jian prescribed was only for alleviating that discomfort. Therefore, they might never realize their true physical state, mistakenly believing they had so terminal illness cured by Hao Jian’s simple redy.
This is why wealthy people are sotis the easiest to deceive; they fear death, having accumulated wealth they haven’t had the chance to enjoy, dying would be too unfair, so just a little tempt, and it becos easy to con them and take their money.
After Boss Zhu and Mrs. Zhu left, Boss Wang and Boss Chen approached. Although they didn’t know Hao Jian’s true identity, knowing he married Shu Ya, chairman of Shu Ya Group, implied he held a status beyond their comparison. Thus, they expressed more politeness and respect towards Hao Jian.
At this mont, Boss Chen looked at Hao Jian and said, “Brother Hao, rember what we talked about before? You still need to co and see the treasure at my house.”
Unconsciously, Boss Chen, like Boss Zhu, quietly changed his form of address for Hao Jian.
Hao Jian smiled and took the business card Boss Chen handed over, putting it in his pocket, and replied with a smile, “Alright, when I have ti, I will definitely visit, Boss Chen, just wait.”
Hearing Hao Jian’s response, Boss Chen smiled silently, then said a simple goodbye to Director Wang before leaving.
Boss Wang also exchanged a few courteous words with Hao Jian and Director Wang before following behind Boss Chen.
After stepping outside, Boss Wang suddenly caught up, coming alongside Boss Chen.
