Chapter 847: Becoming Well-Known Yet Again
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Wang Xuegang might be the richest man in Qinglin County with industry spread out the city, but there was still a big gap in comparison to the billionaire Zhao Xianming. Hence, he still wore a respectful attitude and replied modestly, “Brother Zhao is kidding me; I’m nothing but a small businessman, still very far from you. But still, I’m very grateful that you could honor me in taking time out of your busy schedule to join us. Anyhow, the tea has been served in the VIP room, so shall we head there and have a chat?”
“Alright,” said Zhang Xueming with a smile.
After the two men were done with the pleasantries and came to the VIP room, Zhao Xianming asked with a smile, “You’ve created such a big scene for the opening sale ceremony of your Golden Goblet Emperor Gauze Complex Villa, Brother Wang! I met some business owners when I just came here and I heard that you also spent quite a sum to invite the big star Zhang Xinya, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, they are some friends I’ve invited and came to give me face, Brother,” said Wang Xuegang with a smile. “As for Zhang Xinya, I did invite her to Qinglin County to ask her to sing at the opening ceremony.”
“That’s quite amazing, Brother Wang!” Zhao Xianming squinted his eyes and sighed, “My company held a welcome party for our new blood last year and I tried to invite her to perform at the event with quite a large amount of money. It was a pity that she refused the invitation. I really can’t compare with you in this regard!”
‘Compare my ass…’ cursed Wang Xuegan inwardly. He had known Zhao Xianming for many years. This fellow was rich and all but very stingy and a miser in nature. It was surely that the contract fee he offered for Zhang Xinya was so low that it would be strange for her to come.
Whereas he had spent literally millions for this occasion. He had got all the help could muster from his network before he was successful in inviting Zhang Xinya.
After the small chit-chat of pleasantries, the door was knocked and Wang Xuegang’s middle-aged female secretary entered and reported in a low voice, “Boss, young master Wang has just come along with Mr. Tang and the superstar Zhang Xinya.”
Wang Xuegang’s expression moved. It was rather normal for his son to come along with Tang Xiu since they were acquaintances, but how come Zhang Xinya came with them?
As he thought up to there, he then looked at Zhao Xianming and smilingly said, “I’ll have to excuse myself, Brother Zhao. I need to go to receive some guests and I’ll introduce you to a great personage later.”
Zhao Xianming blankly stared and stopped Wang Xuegang as he asked, “You’re just piquing my interest, so don’t leave me dry,, Brother Wang? Who exactly is this great man?”
“Soon, Brother Zhao. You’ll know about him soon,” immediately replied Wang Xuegang with a mysterious smile.
Having said that, he quickly left with the middle-aged female secretary. Just as he walked to the staircase, he saw Tang Xiu and Zhang Xinya come upstairs along with his son, Wang Tao.
“Boss Tang, Miss Zhang. You two seem to have already known each other from your mannerisms,” greeted Wang Xuegang with a smile.
“We have indeed known each other for some time, though we didn’t expect to meet in Qinglin County,” said Tang Xiu.
Wang Xuegang quickly understood and smilingly said, “Since you already know each other, it will save me from introducing you two to each other. I’ll take the honor to escort you to the VIP lounge so you two can have some rest. The ceremony is in about 30 minutes and I will depend on you both later.”
“Well, I’m just attending to have some fun, Boss Wang,” said Tang Xiu. “There’s no need for you to say that I will help you with the event, no? Besides, it’s Xinya who’ll sing, so there’s no need for me to get involved.”
“Well, I still have to make money for you, Boss. So, there’s nothing I can do but tire myself out,” interjected Zhang Xinyue with a smile.
Boss?
Wang Xuegang blanked out with disbelief in his eyes and asked with a surprised yet amazed expression, “Miss Zhang, you just said that… Boss Tang is your company’s…”
“… small shareholder,” interjected Tang Xiu quickly. “A friend of mine invited me a while back, and I was kinda unable to refuse him regarding investing some money. Don’t listen to her joke, Boss Wang.”
Wang Xuegang shivered inside a few times. Although Tang Xiu’s comment was light, he knew the people, including their background, of who established the entertainment company where Zhang Xinya worked under. Yet… it was unexpected that Tang Xiu and these people were friends. Friends enough that they were able to drag this young man out to invest some of his money, meaning that they must have a very good relationship.
‘…Maybe, Tang Xiu also has an official background.’
The thought crossed Wang Xuegang’s mind. His face suddenly beamed with a smile and he exclaimed, “You’re young and yet very promising, Boss Tang! I just hope that you can give guidance and help to my son since you two are friends.”
“It’s only natural for friends to help each other out.” Tang Xiu nodded.
After some perfunctory pleasantries, they came to the VIP lounge. As the tea and dessert were delivered, Wang Xuegang smilingly said, “Please have a chat here, ladies and gentlemen. I still need to greet other guests. Tao, serve Mr. Tang and Miss Zhang with the best hospitality and be sure to satisfy all their needs.”
“I understand, Father,” replied Wang Tao as he quickly glanced at Zhang Xinya.
