Old Qin stood before the microphone, ready to speak. He Chungwai kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
Suddenly, He Chungwai's expression changed dramatically as a silver needle shot toward Old Qin's neck. The needle was small and fast, invisible to the average person. Without a doubt, it would strike Old Qin in the neck, leading to his imminent collapse.
At such a distance, He Chungwai realized he was too late to swat the needle away. A wave of despair washed over him.
Then, a miracle occurred! The silver needle veered off course just two centimeters from Old Qin's neck and flew away, embedding itself in the backdrop of the stage.
That was close; it must have been Jiang Jun who intervened! Indeed, Jiang Jun was watching him intently, signaling him to remain calm. He Chungwai initially wanted to rush out and capture the assailant. However, without knowing who the attacker was, he had no choice but to follow Jiang Jun's advice and stay seated.
A group of reporters arrived on the scene. One reporter stomped her foot in frustration; she was Lin Yin from Ningzhou Business News.
Hmph, it looks like I need to have a word with her! Jiang Jun shot Lin Yin a glance.
The others remained oblivious to any abnormalities as the conference continued, with Old Qin beginning his speech.
The event concluded quickly, and employees gathered in the company cafeteria for a celebratory feast while the guests were taken to a hotel for drinks.
He Chungwai advised Old Qin not to attend. Old Qin understood there was a reason behind this suggestion and complied.
Jiang Jun also recognized the rationale and expressed understanding as Old Qin took his leave.
After the banquet, Jiang Jun sought out Lin Yin.
"Lin Yin, what happened today?" Jiang Jun maintained a polite tone with her.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yin feigned ignorance.
"Don't play dumb with me! I don't care what grievances you Azure Feather Sect have with the Qin family! How could you attempt something at my Dongsheng Group's founding ceremony? If you have the guts, do it somewhere else!"
"Ah, you know I'm from Azure Feather Sect? In other places, that bodyguard of his is always by his side; how could we make a move? Finally, I had this opportunity, and you meddled like a dog catching mice! Last time we sent someone after his granddaughter, you stopped that too. You really don’t know right from wrong!"
Jiang Jun found it amusing. "You think I don't recognize the mark on your wrist? You want murder but act like you're the good guys? Today, Old Qin is my guest; of course, I must ensure his safety!"
"Regardless, we're targeting bad people! Do you have anything else to discuss?"
"I want to learn how to drive; could you help me find a driving school?"
"Hmph, who do you think I am? You want me to help you find a driving school? Can't you drive?"
"I can drive, but I don't have a license! I'm your lifesaver; isn't this a reasonable request?"
"Pfft, lifesaver! You think two petty thieves needed your help… Fine, follow me!"
Lin Yin led Jiang Jun to a driving school with a sign that read East Wind Driving School.
Jiang Jun quickly registered, "Lin Yin, how about I treat you to dinner?"
The beautiful woman seemed to be angry, but deep down, she was still somewhat fond of him.
"Sure, it's always nice to have someone treat you!"
The Chamber of Commerce Hotel was owned by Old Qin, so they couldn't go there. The two decided to find a regular restaurant nearby.
Without a private room, they settled for a table in the main hall.
"That beauty is stunning!" As soon as Jiang Jun and Lin Yin sat down, someone at a nearby table pointed at Lin Yin and commented.
"Brother Dao, no matter how beautiful she is, she’s not for you. Can't you see she has a boyfriend?"
"What kind of eyes do you have? That ordinary young guy can't possibly be her boyfriend! Nowadays, beautiful women are very practical; they wouldn't lower their standards like that!"
"You don't know, do you? Sister-brother relationships are all the rage now! When it comes to pretty boys, women often don’t care if they have money!"
Sister-brother relationships? Lin Yin couldn't help but feel intrigued. But the person across from her seemed clueless about this.
"Get lost! You think you know everything! Watch me go get that beauty's number; I'll pursue her from now on!"
Ugh, Lin Yin felt nauseated hearing this, while Jiang Jun merely sneered.
"Go ahead, Brother Dao! If you manage to win over that beauty, I bet you'd be willing to carry her shoes every day!" The other young men at the table egged on the one called Brother Dao.
Brother Dao stood up and walked over with a glass in hand towards Jiang Jun and Lin Yin's table.
"Hey, beautiful, can I get your number..." Brother Dao started to say as he attempted to sit down.
"Get lost!" Jiang Jun interrupted him with a sharp shout.
"Hey, the beauty hasn't said anything yet; who do you think you are..." Brother Dao began but suddenly found his wrist twisted painfully before being forcefully thrown to the ground.
Huh? The other four companions at the table were bewildered; their friend Brother Dao was already groaning in pain on the floor!
Had they beaten up Brother Dao? This was unacceptable! The four young men rushed over, emboldened by their numbers.
Thud! One by one, they all fell to the ground, groaning alongside Brother Dao.
The other patrons in the restaurant were stunned!
How impressive! How did that guy strike so quickly?
"What’s going on?" The restaurant owner rushed over.
"It's fine, they just accidentally fell!" Jiang Jun said lightly.
Lin Yin grinned, and the two sat there as if nothing had happened. The restaurant owner called an ambulance, and soon five injured people were taken away. No one dared to disturb Jiang Jun and Lin Yin anymore.
"Why did you invite me to dinner today? Are you feeling guilty about something?"
"Not at all! Today is a new beginning for me. I’ve established a group company and want to build my own business empire, so I wanted someone to share it with!"
"On a day like this, you should share it with your girlfriend!"
"I don’t have a girlfriend, so I’m inviting you!"
"Then I wish you a brand new start!" Lin Yin couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that Jiang Jun really wanted her to be his girlfriend?
"Cheers!" The two clinked their glasses.
After dinner, Jiang Jun went straight back to Huafei Villa. He chose to buy Huafei Villa for an important purpose: to enhance his future cultivation. The environment here is beautiful, quiet, and sparsely populated. If Jiang Jun continued his cultivation, it would be an ideal place. But now was not the right time; he would wait a while before proceeding.
Five days passed, and Jiang Jun returned to East Wind Driving School, handed his learning card to Coach Zhu, whom he met for the first time, and successfully passed the exam.
Just as Jiang Jun returned to Huafei Villa, his phone rang. It was Zhu Yong.
"Director Jiang, some customers are maliciously delaying our payments. What should we do?"
"Which customers? What’s their reason for the delay?"
"The main one is Tianfa Trade Services Company. Their reason is that they owe the Wan's Group, not Dongsheng Group!"
