âNo matter how many enemies out there, no matter how strong they are, I believe that our master is ready for anything! Our master would have the last laugh!â The Tyrant Dragon King said confidently.
âThatâs right!â Gordon quickly piled on. âThis is especially true as master runs with the blood from the Ancient Witch Dragon, fused with the Bryanâ Special Ability! Get familiar with it beforehand so that it would be put to full use when we arrive at Emperor Qinâs tomb!â
âNah⦠not today!â Chen Xiaobei shook his head. âLan Mengcheng is waiting for me in the hotel! Considering the time now, her secretary must be there already! They are supposed to be negotiating a deal with Brandon Organization. I have to go keep watch. Also, the new batch of Skybreaking Cultivation pills would need another two days before itâs done. I want to breakthrough my cultivation before eating that Dark Neutron!â
After that, Chen Xiaobei put Gordon and the Tyrant Dragon King back into the Verdant Emperorâs Divine Gourd and rushed to the hotel on the Somersault Cloud.
â¦
Everything was peaceful back in the hotel.
With Python King and Ape Kingâs protection, Lan Mengcheng had her heart at ease and was able to relax and catch some good sleep.
Once Chen Xiaoobei arrived at the hotel, he put both Python King and Ape King back into the gourd.
Lan Mengchengâs secretary, Wang Yuhao, arrived shortly after.
He was in his thirties and looked very outstanding in his appearance. It was evident that he was a social elite with a classy stance from head to toe.
Of course, no regular Joe could qualify to be Lan Mengchengâs personal secretary.
âCEO Lan! You are incredible! Youâre half a day earlier than I am! I was even afraid that youâd be late!â Wang Yuhao said with a smile.
âThis meeting is very important! How can I be late?â Lan Mengcheng did not return the smile, done deliberately to maintain a professional distance between them.
Of course, it was not that she did not trust him, but that she was afraid that Chen Xiaobei might misunderstand their relationship.
âCEO Lan, how did you do it? How did you get here so quickly?â Wang Yuhao asked.
âIâ¦â Lan Mengcheng nearly tripped over herself. âI took CEO Chenâs private jet. Thatâs why.â
âCEO Chen?â Wang Yuhaoâs eyes lit up. âAre you talking about the CEO of our Bei Cheng Cosmetics? Is he here today? CEO Lan, can you refer me to him? Iâve been hearing great things about him and Iâve been dying to see that old man in person!â
âAhemâ¦â Chen Xiaobei coughed. âCEO Chen is not an old man!â
âWhat do you know? I am just being respectful!â Wang Yuhao gave Chen Xiaobei a sneering stare. âWho are you, anyway? Why are you with our CEO Lan?â
âWho am I?â Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. âI am your CEO Chen!â
âYou? Erâ¦â Wang Yuhao rolled his eyes. âStop joking around, okay? Our President Chen is a VIP. Oh please. How could someone like you even think that you could pass off as him?â
âWang Yuhao! Donât be rude!â Lan Mengcheng quickly stepped in. âI still havenât had the chance to introduce you! This is our Bei Chengâs CEO, Chen Xiaobei!â
âWhat?!â Wang Yuhaoâs jaw fell unconsciously. His eyes were open so wide, it seemed his eyeballs would simply fall out.
His brain could not seem to register that Dragon Cityâs most renowned Mr. Chen who had plenty of rumors swirling around him, was actually a young lad!
âWhy are you zoning out like that? My introduction isnât clear enough?â Lan Mengcheng said sternly.
âCl⦠Crystal clear!â Wang Yuhao changed his entire mannerism, now wearing a wide, cheery smile. âCEO Chen! You are nothing but a story of success at such a young age! Iâve been hoping to meet you for the longest time! It looks like youâve stayed true to your reputation! My admiration for you is like a torrential river, never ceasingâ¦â
Chen Xiaobei looked at Wang Yuhao from the corner of his eyes, and said, âMengcheng, why is this thing with you? Is he even reliable?â
Wang Yuhaoâs little heart stopped beating for a good second hearing him being refered to as a âthingâ.
In Dragon City, the Lan family was one of the three richest families, and the Lan Organizationâs biggest shareholder was Chen Xiaobei, the mysterious CEO Chen!
Chen Xiaobeiâs words would mean Wang Yuhaoâs death sentence.
âCEO Lan⦠CEO Lan, please explain on my behalfâ¦â stammered Wang Yuhao who had broken out into cold sweat.
Lan Mengcheng frowned. âCEO Chen, if you may, secretary Wang was sent by my fatherâs organization. Heâs been a very outstanding staff of ours and has helped me a lot while you were gone!â
âMmâ¦â Chen Xiaobei said. âFine, since you think this person is useful, then I wonât comment any further!â
âThank you, CEO Chen⦠Thank you, CEO Lanâ¦â Wang Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.
âOh, right. Secretary Wang, when is the meeting with Brandon Company starting? Have you prepared everything?â Lan Mengcheng asked.
âItâs in 30 minutes. We have to leave now. The car is ready. Itâs awaits you outside! Iâve already prepared everything we need for the meeting. Donât worry, CEO Lan, weâve got it covered!â
âMm!â Lan Mengcheng nodded and gave Chen Xiaobei a look.
âSecretary Wang really is something! If weâre successful today, increase his salary!â Chen Xiaobei said.
âThank you, CEO Chen! Thank you, CEO Chen!â Wang Yuhao nodded and bowed; the smile he wore earlier returned to his lips.
âAlright. You can take your leave for a moment! I have something I need to discuss personally with CEO Lan!â Chen Xiaobei said.
âYes!â Wang Yuhao quickly exited the room.
âXiaobei! You really are something!â Lan Mengcheng praised. âUsing kindness as a means of cruelty! From today onwards, Wang Yuhao will be more honest and obedient! At least he wonât sweet talk in front of us!â
âItâs too early to tell!â Chen Xiaobei shook his head.
âWhat do you mean?â
âHave you heard of the Bryan family?â Chen Xiaobei asked.
âBryan? Did you mean Brighton? The Brighton Organization that weâre meeting today is a family business. They play very important roles in the business and politics of America. Their familyâs roots run deep, and they are one of the oldest families around!â
âNo! Chen Xiaobei shooked his head. âIâm talking about the Bryan family! Thatâs a family of vampires! I left earlier because I had to pay a visit to the Bryanâ Castle!â
âVampires?!â Lan Mengcheng gasped. âI⦠Iâve never heard of this family⦠You must have mixed them upâ¦â
âLi Family from Zhong State is also a family of vampires! The head of the family Li Xiang, is my good friend!â Chen Xiaobei said. âFor a vampire family to survive, theyâll need a hell lot of money and resources! Thatâs why they are using this family-owned business as a cover, a very common way to make a ton of money without getting noticed!â
âIâ¦â Lan Mengcheng started to panic. âIf what you say is true, what do you think will happen in the meeting later?â
