The reception hall was still bustling with activity, and the atmosphere was still natural and peaceful. However, none of the nobles dared to approach the stage. Ji Chenxue stood there like an orchid in a deserted valley. It was supposed to be a pleasant sight, but Ding Meng refused to leave. It was a terrible sight to behold.
At this moment, at least seven or eight families had already privately inquired about Ancestral Gragon's background.
Ji Chenxue also sized up Ding Meng. She said graciously, "If it's convenient for you, Mr. Zu, please tell me. If it's not convenient for you, just pretend I didn't ask."
Ding Meng said, "There's nothing convenient about it. My friend's surname is Ding!"
Ji Chenxue's expression didn't change. People at her level wouldn't easily write their thoughts on their faces, but people at her level could also understand with a hint. There was only one VIP with the surname Ding, and that was the fugitive wanted by both the Holy Grail Federation and the Norse Empire.
Ding Meng was a well-known name in the top circle. Anyone with a little bit of access to information would know that Ding Meng was the key to destroying the Hidden Front. However, for some reason, he had become a Level 3A fugitive in the Empire.
The key was that Level 3A was extremely dangerous in the Empire. It was so dangerous that it could even threaten the Emperor himself.
Ji Chenxue and the others weren't stupid enough to believe that Ding Meng had violated the Empire's laws. Instead, they believed that Ding Meng must have involved the interests of the Empire's top brass during the rainforest incident. Currently, the top brass was led by Emperor Wen Yang, and their backer was the colossus known as the Apocalypse Group. It was interesting that an expert like Ding Meng was on the opposing side of the Apocalypse Group.
It turned out that Ancestral Gragon was one of Ding Meng's men. However, Ji Chenxue was very well-educated, so she didn't ask why Ding Meng came to Chuang Yu to run errands.
Ji Chenxue slowly raised his right hand. With a flick of his white glove, an exquisite card appeared at his fingertips. "Mr Zu, if you ever come to the capital of Planet Norland, you are welcome to visit the Beidou Group!"
The craftsmanship of this name card was quite exquisite. It was as thin as a piece of colorful paper, but it was incomparably flexible. It could flow freely in the palm of one's hand like liquid. There was a faint fragrance on it, just like the fragrance emitted from Ji Chenxue's body. When you took this name card, it was as if you were touching Ji Chenxue's soft, jade-like hands.
"Thank you very much!" Ding Meng took the name card and put it in the pocket of his suit jacket.
Ji Chenxue's smile was as warm as a spring breeze. "Mr. Zu, I wish you a smooth journey and a bright future."
"Goodbye!
CEO Ji! "Ding Meng turned around and left in a carefree manner.
This scene shocked everyone present. Ji Chenxue's name card wasn't something that just anyone could get their hands on. Those who had her name cards were either the most powerful or the most powerful. However, the world was just so strange. What kind of ability did this unknown Ancestral Gragon have? He had only exchanged a few words with the great goddess, and she had actually given him a name card?
This didn't make any sense at all!
Looking at Ding Meng walking back from the reception platform with his head held high, Xin Zhiyao really liked Ding Meng. She even took the initiative to wave her hand. "Ancestral Gragon, have a seat!"
Now, only Guan Xinqing and Xin Zhiyao were sitting on the sofa. The others were standing aside. Ding Meng chose to sit on the single sofa next to him.
Xin Zhiyao was very happy. "Xiaofei, sit down too. Don't just stand there. You feel so distant."
Lan Bing was also very happy. After sitting down, she held Ding Meng's arm like a little bird.
Xin Zhiyao looked at Guan Xinqing. "Brother Qing, look at Ancestral Gragon and his wife. They are so loving wherever they go!"
How could Guan Xinqing not understand her stupid hint? Guan Xinqing smiled and said, "Yaoyao, in the future, don't make things difficult for Ancestral Gragon and his wife. How big is Ancestral Gragon's Beiyun Group?
It wasn't easy for him to accumulate some money. If you ask him to show off in front of Ji Zong, he will laugh his head off if he overreaches himself. "
What he said was truly impressive. What he meant by "making a fool of oneself" was "saying the wrong thing", and the consequence was not "laughing your head off", but "suffering an unexpected calamity". His words were of a high standard, not only did it show that he knew what they were playing at, it also showed enough respect to Xin Zhiyao and appeased Ancestral Gragon Sophie, further improving their relationship.
Guan Lin's father was really a powerful person!
Ding Meng secretly made a judgment.
At this time, Lan Bing definitely had to come out to smooth things over. She stood up and bowed. "Thank you for your care, boss, and thank you for your support. Mr. and I will work hard in the capital and live up to your expectations."
This was a show of loyalty. Xin Zhiyao smiled and said, "Xiaofei, sit down and talk!"
Guan Xinqing was also a little interested in Ding Meng. "Ancestral Gragon, what did you talk about with Ji Zong just now? Ji Zong also gave you a business card."
He was a little jealous because even he did not have Ji Chenxue's business card. With his wealth and status, he was definitely qualified to have Ji Chenxue's personal business card. But why didn't Ji Chenxue give it to him?
The reason was simple. He actually had feelings for Ji Chenxue. In other words, any normal man would have feelings for Ji Chenxue. Guan Xinqing wanted to flirt with her, and Ji Chenxue knew that Guan Xinqing was flirting with her. She could choose to ignore or eliminate anyone who tried to flirt with her, but she could not do the same with Guan Xinqing. She could neither reject nor accept Guan Xinqing's advances. She could not afford to offend Guan Xinqing too much, nor could she let him have his way. Thus, she did not even give him her business card. This was her way of rejecting him.
Ding Meng had expected Guan Xinqing to ask this question when he came down. "I made quite a few friends on planet Beidou. Ji Zong knows some of them."
Angel chimed in at this crucial moment. "That's right. Uncle Zu knows a lot of powerful people on planet Beidou. I've met Big Boss Su before."
In her mind, if even someone as powerful as Ding Meng was Su Xia's subordinate, then Su Xia must be a heaven-defying existence.
As for who this Big Boss Su was, Guan Xinqing could not possibly ask in this situation. He simply nodded with a smile. "Ancestral Gragon, do your best. I'll say the same thing again. I have high hopes for you!"
Lan Bing was the best at acting. She immediately turned to look at Xin Zhiyao with wide eyes.
Xin Zhiyao quickly came to the rescue. "Brother Qing, look at how scared they are!"
Guan Xinqing laughed heartily. "It's just a small matter. I won't take it to heart!"
This was no small matter. Guan Xinqing had been the one picking up girls, and Ding Meng had interrupted him. More importantly, this was a good opportunity for him to get close to Ji Chenxue, but in the end, the limelight had been stolen by Ding Meng. It would be strange if Guan Xinqing didn't hold a grudge against this. However, he couldn't bring himself to take it to heart, because Ancestral Gragon wasn't qualified for him to take it to heart.
After this episode, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have returned to normal. Ji Chenxue didn't stay for too long. Not long after, she was sent off by Guan Xinqing and his wife. As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the hall took a turn for the worse, making people feel bored. After the luncheon, the guests left one after another.
Ding Meng and Lan Bing first said goodbye to Guan Xinqing and his wife, and then Ding Meng went to say goodbye to Guan Yi. The two of them were ready to leave for the capital immediately.
However, on the way to the helipad, there was someone waiting for them next to the Blue Bird flying car. This person was Guan Xinqing's personal bodyguard, the young man.
Of course, Ding Meng didn't believe that he was really a young man. This person must have cultivated some kind of youth-preserving cultivation method, so that he could maintain the figure and appearance of a young man.
It was very rare for men to cultivate youth-preserving cultivation methods, but this young man was really handsome. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he was full of energy. However, there was a coldness between his eyebrows.
After Yuan Sheng started the flying car, the young man and Ding Meng sat in the back, while Lan Bing sat in the front seat.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. They knew that before they left, the Guan family would definitely give them some instructions. This young man was obviously here to tell them these things.
Ding Meng smiled and stretched out his hand. "Little brother, how should I address you?"
The young man said coldly, "You don't deserve to know!"
Ding Meng had no choice but to withdraw his hand awkwardly, but the smile still hung on his face.
The young man suddenly said, "Do you know why the boss chose you to go to Congress?"
Ding Meng asked modestly, "Please enlighten me."
The young man said, "First, your status is low, so you won't attract too much attention. Second, the boss knows that you've been active in Beidou for many years, so you know a lot of unorthodox people. Third, you have spies in the Hubowers family. The boss hopes that you can make good use of them."
The young man's logic was clear, and his words were direct. He didn't say anything unnecessary.
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "What kind of effect does the boss want me to achieve?"
The young man looked at Ding Meng with slight surprise. He didn't expect this Ancestral Gragon to be so perceptive.
"There are three things you need to do on this trip. First, that Zhong guy is also planting deputies in Congress. You need to find out who they planted. Second, no one has been able to find out the reason behind the grand strategic retreat plan of Congress. It's best if you can find out the reason, but it's not your fault if you can't, because you won't be able to get into the upper echelons of the Empire. Third, the boss has always been anti-war. As his subordinate, you'd better understand this …"
He didn't expect Ding Meng to understand these words. He had seen too many bumpkins like Ding Meng. He didn't even expect Ding Meng to come back alive.
However, Ding Meng suddenly understood a lot. At least he knew part of Guan Xinqing's thoughts. First, Chuangyu had already begun to suspect Wen Yang of being in the upper echelons of the Empire. Why did they retreat so much?
Second, Guan Xinqing seemed to be against the war on the surface, but in fact, this cunning old man strongly supported it. It was just that he couldn't say it out loud.
Chuangyu arranged for him to go to Congress, which was actually similar to his real intention.
The young man said coldly, "There's one last thing I want to remind you. You'd better not be in the limelight like you did at the banquet today. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you."
After saying this, he suddenly opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
Lan Bing looked back at Ding Meng. Ding Meng smiled and said, "That's a warning to me. Guan Xinqing really does have designs on Ji Chenxue."
