Chapter 286 - Jade King

Yet he had always believed that Director Du admired his talents.

Reflecting on the entire situation, he suddenly glanced at Director Du, his face contorting with realization.

“Could it be that General Manager Du's earlier reference to ‘Mr. Jiang' wasn't about me?”

“Was he actually referring to Jiang Hao?”

At that moment, Jiang Bodang's face shifted colors like a chameleon, but it was of no consequence to him.

Xue Zixi's timely assist eased the grimace on Jiang Hao's face.

Just then, a robust laugh echoed through the room.

“Nephew Jiang, my family and I have arrived for our appointment. I hope we're not late?”

That infectious laughter captured the attention of everyone present.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Jiang Hao's face broke into a smile, and he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

“Uncle Soong's presence is a great honor indeed!”

Indeed, the arrivals were none other than Soong Wanzhong and his family—He Xinxin, Soong Wan, and Uncle Hai, who accompanied them as a protector.

The sight of Soong Wanzhong sent a ripple of astonishment through the crowd.

“Jiang Hao managed to invite the Jade King?”

A storm of emotions raged within Jiang Bodang.

He certainly knew of the Jade King, Soong Wanzhong, but with his own standing, he was nowhere near reaching the Jade King's circle.

Unexpectedly, his nephew Jiang Hao, whom he had just dismissed as worthless, had succeeded in inviting the Jade King!

Moreover, it appeared that Jiang Hao's connection with the Jade King ran deep.

“What in the world is happening?”

“What has transpired in recent times?”

Suddenly, Jiang Bodang felt like a stranger in a world that had become surreal, as if he were in a dream.

Jiang Hao escorted Soong Wanzhong toward the seat of honor. As they passed the Mediterranean man and Jiang Bodang, Soong Wanzhong looked at Jiang Hao with a puzzled expression and inquired,

“Who might these gentlemen be?”

Before Jiang Hao could respond, the Mediterranean man quickly interjected.

“Du Wei has the honor of meeting the Jade King. I, too, am here to extend my congratulations to Mr. Jiang!”

Yet, the Jade King, with his seasoned insight, could easily detect the tension in the air.

“Oh?”

“Perhaps you'd like to join us?”

The Mediterranean man, upon hearing this suggestion, was overcome with a mix of anxiety and respect.

“No, that won't be necessary!”

He then swiftly retrieved a gold card from his wallet and placed it on the table.

“Mr. Du's gift has arrived, so I'll leave Jade King and Mr. Jiang to their business.”

“I'll take my leave now.”

With that, he scurried off in a hurry!

Jiang Bodang, watching the Mediterranean man prepare to leave, panicked. His 100 million yuan contract was still unsigned!

As the man slinked away, Jiang Bodang's mouth hung open, but ultimately, he said nothing and didn't pursue him.

After all, the man was nowhere near Jade King's league!

Jiang Hao then seated Jade King next to the Old Master, while He Yuxin, Soong Wan, and Xue Zixi joined Jiang's mother.

The seat that should have been his uncle's was offered to Uncle Hai by Jiang Hao!

Once everyone was seated, Jiang Bodang embarrassingly realized there was no place for him.

It was as if the others didn't even acknowledge his presence!

Jiang Bodang's face turned a shade of sour green.

It seemed even the Old Master and grandmother had forgotten about their eldest son, Jiang Bodang!

Caught in an awkward stance, he was unsure whether to stay or go.

That's when Jiang Hao glanced at his despised uncle.

“Uncle, what are you doing just standing there?”

“Mr. Du has left. Shouldn't you be hurrying after him to seal that 100 million yuan deal?”

“And remember, once you've made it big, don't forget to help out your less fortunate relatives!”

Jiang Hao's words left Jiang Bodang alternating between shades of green and white.

Unable to stay a moment longer, Jiang Bodang turned and rushed off after CEO Du.
