232 Framing!

After Chen Yun and everyone chatted outside for a while, the Chen family entered. Inside, they were all from the Chen family. Eldest Grandpa, Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, and Chen Yun’s family were all chatting. Among them, the three families were chatting fervently. Their decorations were extraordinary. Only Chen Yun’s family was isolated and stood there.

“Hey, Chen Xing, I heard that you’ve been quite popular in Yanwei’s circle recently. Did you meet a benefactor?”

Chen Feng looked at Chen Xing and asked his younger brother.

Oh?

As soon as Chen Feng said this, everyone looked at Chen Xing. The latter looked at his brother, Chen Feng, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately coughed and said seriously, “Big Brother, you’re still very well-informed. I’ve indeed hooked up with a benefactor.”

“Who?”

Many elders were curious. Even Chen Yun’s grandfather, Father Chen, and Mother Chen looked over strangely.

Chen Xing said, “Wang Tiansheng!”

“Wang Tiansheng?”

Everyone was stunned. Who was this? Only Chen Feng suddenly frowned and said, “Brother Wang? Is he the popular person under Young Master Dong Honghe?”

“That’s right.” Chen Xing nodded.

“Is this person called Wang Tiansheng very powerful?” Chen Xing’s aunt asked curiously.

“He’s not just powerful.” Chen Feng sighed. “He’s about the same age as us. He’s already a big shot under Young Master Dong Honghe. It’s said that it won’t be long before Young Master Dong Honghe becomes an influential figure in the entire Yanwei. I heard that he has a divine water in his hands. Not only does he feel refreshed after drinking it, but it can also eliminate the hidden illnesses in his body. There are even rumors that drinking it often can extend his lifespan and even rejuvenate him.”

Everyone was shocked. Even the expressions of the grandfathers changed slightly.

However, the eldest sister, Chen Yue, covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Chen Feng. “Brother, you’re joking, right? What do you mean by extending one’s lifespan and rejuvenating one’s youth? How can there be such a divine medicine? It’s just a rumor. If there really is such a divine medicine, wouldn’t the entire world be in an uproar?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Feng’s expression darkened. Then, he coughed. “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense!”

“That’s right, Sister.” Chen Xing’s expression darkened. “Sister, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not fools. Even in the city, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the province are all seeking medicine from thousands of miles away. I heard that Young Master Dong doesn’t have much of this divine water. It was distributed by Director Chen of Jiang City. There are only a hundred bottles a day. Each bottle contains 100ml. However, someone snatched it from him.”

“Do you know how much this bottle of 100ml was sold for?”

“How much was it?” The people beside him had never heard of such a thing and asked curiously.

“Above two million!”

Hiss!

These words immediately made everyone gasp, making their eyes widen. They could not believe what they had heard. A 100ml bottle cost two million yuan!

In other words, it was equivalent to 20,000 yuan per gram!

This!

This was simply a sky-high price among sky-high prices!

“Moreover, even with such a sky-high price, the supply still can’t meet the demand. Furthermore, you have to be related to Young Master Dong. Only the rich and powerful can get the medicine from Young Master Dong. Otherwise, how could Young Master Dong have such a status? You know Boss Li Xiao, right?”

Chen Xiao spoke excitedly. When everyone heard Li Xiao’s name, they nodded. How could they not have heard of Li Xiao’s reputation? Li Xiao was an influential figure in the Yanwei area. On the surface, his assets had already exceeded a billion yuan. Moreover, he had a wide network and many connections in private. He could be said to be a local tyrant.

Seeing them nod, Chen Xing straightened his back. “Boss Li Xiao is submissive and respectful in front of Young Master Dong. He doesn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Tell me, if that divine medicine is fake, would it have such an effect? Are those high-ranking officials and nobles fools?”

These few words stunned everyone. They immediately stopped talking, leaving only dense shock in their hearts.

At that moment, many elders looked at Chen Xing, their eyes simply shining. All of them had smiles on their faces. “Chen Xing, in that case, have you gotten in touch with Young Master Dong’s favorite, Wang Tiansheng?”

“In order to befriend Wang Tiansheng, I’ve been going to his restaurant for meals every weekend for the past year. From time to time, I’ll toast him,” Chen Xing continued.

Many elders nodded in approval. Second Grandpa looked at his grandson in relief.

China was a society of relationships. It was especially important to make connections. If you were worthless, but you happened to have many important friends, your status would naturally rise.

If he could befriend a young elite like Wang Tiansheng, he would benefit endlessly for the rest of his life.

“Unfortunately… all of this was destroyed by someone,” said Chen Xing suddenly hatefully.

As he spoke, he looked angrily at Chen Yun, who was drinking tea. “That day, I finally asked Brother Wang Tiansheng out for a meal. However, that morning, I went to look for my Fourth Grandpa. I was afraid that Fourth Grandpa would embarrass the Chen family, so I gave them the congratulatory gift my grandfather had prepared for my Fourth Grandpa. My hand only slipped and the congratulatory gift fell to the ground, so Chen Yun beat me up!”

“It was simply a beating! My friends were also beaten up!”

“That day, I was originally dressed up and prepared to go to the meeting to befriend Brother Wang Tiansheng. However, I was delayed by such a matter. In the end, I was five minutes late. Brother Wang turned around and left! If you don’t believe me, you can ask my friends.”

“Is what Xiao Xing said true?” Second Grandpa asked sternly.

“Yes.” The young men beside him nodded, and a trace of disappointment flashed across their eyes. “That day, Brother Wang stood up and left. From then on, his attitude towards Brother Chen Xing suddenly faded and he ignored Brother Xing. Perhaps Brother Xing did something wrong.”

Although he said that, everyone knew the real reason.

What did he do wrong? This matter was all because of Chen Yun!

The Second Grandpa looked at the Fourth Grandpa, his eyes filled with anger. He did not know about this at first. That day, he was afraid that his Fourth Brother would embarrass the Chen family and that he would not be able to take out anything good on the Old Master’s 90th birthday, so he asked Chen Xing to give him the hundred-year-old ginseng.

He was prepared to make his congratulatory gift not too shabby.

However!

However!

Unexpectedly, he had good intentions!

Chen Xing worked even harder to run errands!

What did he get in return? What he got in return was a beating!

In exchange, his path was cut off!

Second Grandpa’s gaze immediately darkened, and Second Grandma was so angry that her hands trembled.

That was Wang Tiansheng, a figure in the top circle of the younger generation in Jiangnan province. If Chen Xing missed him, he would have missed a huge opportunity.

A few elders at the side gloated.

“Aiya, Fourth Uncle, look at your child. He can’t do anything right but ruin everything.”
