Chapter 18

His master would arrive in two minutes, but he was not prepared at all.

Wang Jianglin was both shocked and delighted. He was shocked that Kong Xiuyao would suddenly look for him, and delighted that he could finally see his master.

He gripped his phone and ran towards the entrance of the mall. His instantaneous explosive power was almost comparable to a sprinter.

Zhong Zunshi and the person in charge of the mall were dumbfounded. They did not even have the chance to open their mouths and could only follow behind Wang Jianglin. Their eyes were fixed on the white tiles on the ground, afraid that he would slip and fall if he ran too fast.

“President Wang, what’s wrong? Run slowly, don’t fall!”

“President Wang, are you going back? The car is in the underground garage, not at the entrance!”

The two of them chased after him until they were out of breath, but Wang Jianglin acted as if he didn’t hear them. He was like a missile with no scenery along the way, only the final destination.

The three of them ran to the entrance of the mall one after another. A black BMW was parked at the edge of the square. Qiu Lingruo jumped out of the car like a little rabbit and waved at Wang Jianglin from afar.

“Senior Brother! Over here!”

Wang Jianglin didn’t even have time to catch his breath before he went forward happily. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Zhong Zunshi and the person in charge of the mall had never seen Wang Jianglin like this before. It had always been others running to see Wang Jianglin. He walked slowly wherever he went. Today, they could actually see Wang Jianglin greeting them.

He seemed to have been gloomy for many days before this. Zhong Zunshi’s sharp sense told him that the person in the car must have a powerful background!

They did not dare to delay. They had to run behind him even if they were tired.

The girl who got out of the car first had a beautiful face. She looked like a painting that embedded youth standing under the sun. She bounced in front of the car and opened the door to welcome the person inside.

A young man in his twenties walked down from the car. His angular face was like a statue, and his black eyes were as calm as a deep pool. He gently swept his gaze across the people in front of him and finally landed on Wang Jianglin. He nodded slightly.

Zhong Zunshishi only took a glance. Based on his years of experience in the business world, he knew that the young man in front of him was not simple and was not someone he could provoke.

He tactfully retreated behind Wang Jianglin and pretended that he was just a backdrop. The person in charge of the mall followed suit and didn’t dare to look up at the person who came.

“Master! I’ve finally seen you!” Wang Jianglin was extremely excited. He cupped his fists and bent his knees to kneel.

Kong Xiuyao quickly raised his arm and said indifferently, “This isn’t popular in the era of equality. Just call me Xiuyao.”

Wang Jianglin was in fear and trepidation upon hearing this request. No matter how rich his imagination was, he could not imagine the feeling of talking to Kong Xiuyao on equal footing.

Zhong Zunshi, who was standing at the back and didn’t dare to move. He thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Wang Jianglin actually knelt down to welcome him? This young man was actually Wang Jianglin’s master?

He seemed to have discovered a great secret and his brain was overworking. He didn’t know if it was the heat or the shock, but his head seemed to be smoking.

Qiu Lingruo hid behind Kong Xiuyao and covered her mouth to tease him. “Senior Brother, aren’t you afraid that Xiuyao would make the headlines tomorrow with you kneeling on the street as the President of Wonda Group?”

“Lingruo is right. I came to look for you for serious matters. Don’t do such useless things,” Kong Xiuyao continued.

Wang Jianglin raised his head and said seriously, “Let me know if you need anything. I’ll carry them out without hesitation.”

“It’s not that serious.” Kong Xiuyao smiled and said, “First thing… How long are we going to stand by the roadside?”

Wang Jianglin did not react for a moment. As Kong Xiuyao’s eldest disciple, he was the first to leave the mountain and was the most considerate. However, today, Kong Xiuyao seemed to have descended from the sky and smashed him until he was dizzy and flustered.

It was only when the sun at the top made his hair hot that he realized what Kong Xiuyao meant. He turned around and saw that the Zhong Zunshi was so hot, steam was coming out from him.

He actually let Kong Xiuyao stand under the sun for so long? Wang Jianglin felt guilty and his face turned red. “I am not considerate enough. Please enter!”

The five of them returned to the mall. The person in charge of the mall brought everyone to the office on the top floor. Along the way, everyone’s attention was on Kong Xiuyao.

Qiu Lingruo and Wang Jianglin were disciples who had the same master and were used to paying attention to Kong Xiuyao’s every move. On the other hand, Zhong Zunshi and the person in charge of the mall were speculating. Even though they sensed that Kong Xiuyao’s aura was different from ordinary people, they could not understand what qualifications a young man in his twenties had to be Wang Jianglin’s master.

The International Entrepreneur Summit a few days ago had already exposed that the masters of the four richest men in the Dragon Kingdom were the same person. However, in Zhong Zunshi’s imagination, the master of the richest man should be a sage-like old man with long and white beard who could see through the laws of the world and had the ability to guide the world like Jiang Ziya.

Not a handsome young man.

Zhong Zunshi even suspected that this young man was just an illusion. He could not see anything impressive about him even if he continued to start hard at him.

The person-in-charge of the mall brought the four of them into the office, turned on the air conditioner, poured tea, and tactfully closed the door. He had the lowest rank amongst them all.

Kong Xiuyao looked around the office. Perhaps because he didn’t often work here, the interior was very simple. A desk was placed in the center, and a decorative bookshelf was placed behind it.

Then there were the two sofas facing each other and the coffee table between them.

The furnishings were ordinary, but the lighting was very good. The entire glass window could be seen on the other side of the street.

“Mas… Xiuyao, please have some tea.” Wang Jianglin respectfully served tea and interrupted Kong Xiuyao’s thoughts.

“Thank you.” Kong Xiuyao took the tea and took a sip.

The tea made Wang Jianglin feel like he had returned to Mount Yongmen. He asked uneasily, “Xiuyao, why are you looking for me?”

“The development rights of Pingxu Village are in your hands?” Kong Xiuyao asked lightly.

“That’s right, we’ll be able to start construction soon! You know about it?” Wang Jianglin’s emotions were complicated for a moment. He was both happy and sad as he sat upright and waited for Kong Xiuyao to continue.

Kong Xiuyao looked up at Zhong Zunshi and said, “I don’t know how your construction is distributed, but a construction material merchant named Black Bull allowed his subordinates to commit murder in the village, injured my childhood friend, and forcefully occupied his residence. I came here today for this matter.”

Wang Jianglin’s smile immediately froze. He turned to look at Zhong Zunshi angrily and said sternly, “Little Zhong, is that true?”

Zhong Zunshi face was as pale as paper, and his pupils were trembling. He kept swallowing to hide his nervousness.

All the pressure came to him. What a coincidence. Zhong Zunshi really had an impression of the name Black Bull!

Even though he wasn’t the one who hit the person, occupied the homestead, and didn’t even know about this himself, as the person in charge of the area, he still couldn’t escape the blame!

Beating the boss’s master’s childhood friend… Zhong Zunshi felt that his job was over.
