Chapter 679 Ziqian is here
As soon as Ding Yong finished his enthusiastic "President Han", his gaze swept over Han Xue with utmost respect and landed on Shen Yun's face beside her.
This is no small matter!
Those familiar eyebrows and eyes, that calm and composed demeanor… Ding Yong felt a jolt of electricity surge through his body, and his mind went blank! As a partner with deep cooperation with Junxiao Group, how could he not recognize the striking resemblance between these features and that of President Chen? Shen Yun's features were so similar to Chen Xiao's that Ding Yong was startled and quickly greeted Shen Yun.
Han Xue's cool voice rang out at the right moment, with a hint of gentleness as she introduced her family: "President Ding, this is my mother. You can just call her Teacher Shen."
After completing the proper etiquette, Ding Yong's gaze turned to Feng Ting, Jia Hao, and Liu Li, who were standing beside Shen Jun. Although he didn't recognize them, those who could accompany President Han and Teacher Shen were undoubtedly not ordinary people. He put on a professional yet clearly humble smile and greeted the three of them politely:
"Hello, Teacher Feng! Hello, General Manager Jia! Hello, General Manager Liu! Welcome, welcome!" He deliberately used honorifics like "teacher" and "general manager," adopting an extremely humble posture.
If they didn't know his identity, it wouldn't matter, but now that they knew he was the chairman of Gemdale Group, and that he was being so polite to them, calling them "Teacher Feng," "President Jia," and "President Liu," Jia Hao and Liu Li had the illusion that this President Ding was looking up to them. They had truly become "Presidents" whom Ding Yong needed to treat with caution!
The feeling was so unreal, yet it possessed a twisted, euphoric magic.
Knowing that they were there to look at cars, Ding Yong quickly led them into the showroom, wanting to serve them personally. Han Xue smiled, "Mr. Ding, there's no need to trouble yourself. You go about your business; we can just browse around." Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of finality.
This left Jia Hao and Liu Li quite disappointed; otherwise, they could have boasted about it later. The chairman of Gemdale Group had even served them—how impressive!
Ding Yong understood Han Xue's meaning; Shen Jun must not like being disturbed. He quickly excused himself and didn't even bother to patrol the store anymore.
Feng Ting sighed and whispered to Shen Jun beside her, "When I'm with you, we run into big shots everywhere we go. The key is that these big shots are surprisingly easy to deal with."
Shen Yun smiled, "Let's look at the car."
Jun Xiaocheng is also her son's business, and she was really afraid that she would run into some executive coming over to say hello again. Today she was just accompanying Teacher Feng shopping and didn't like being stared at like a "giant panda." She wasn't very good at dealing with these kinds of things either.
Feng Ting sat in the spacious and comfortable seats of the Wenjie M7, enjoying the delicate touch of the interior and the technologically advanced cabin atmosphere, but her heart was filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.
She turned slightly closer to Shen Yun, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, with deep emotion and a hint of barely perceptible envy, she whispered:
"Teacher Shen... having such a capable daughter-in-law is truly remarkable..."
Then, glancing at Han Xue beside him, whose demeanor was aloof and cool, he said with a hint of self-deprecation, "This is the first time in my life that I've ever enjoyed such a privilege, experiencing what 'power' truly means! This feeling... is truly..."
Listening to her old colleague's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Shen Jun maintained her gentle and composed smile, as if Feng Ting had merely remarked, "The weather is nice today." She lightly patted Feng Ting's hand, her gaze shifting to the dazzling screen on the center console, and calmly changed the subject:
"Let's look at the car." She said casually, as if she were talking about something trivial.
The saleswoman in the driver's seat was highly focused, her smile bordering on obsequious. She had just witnessed how the company's big boss, General Manager Ding, treated this group of guests, so she dared not be negligent.
To be honest, the sales staff at HarmonyOS Smart Selection far surpassed those at the Ryzen N7L in terms of both appearance and professionalism. Coupled with the car's build quality and intelligent features, Feng Ting genuinely liked it, and after seeing it, she became even less interested in the Ryzen N7L.
Shen Jun and Han Xue sat quietly in the back seat, listening to the salesperson's explanation. Shen Jun would occasionally ask a question or two in a low voice about comfort or safety, while Han Xue mostly just listened quietly, her gaze calm.
Jia Hao and Liu Li stood awkwardly outside the car, like two forgotten shadows. Normally, if Shen Jun and Han Xue weren't present, they would definitely be the ones in charge of checking the car! But now? They seemed to have lost even the courage to approach the car door. Standing next to Shen Jun and Han Xue, especially after witnessing Wang Jian and Ding Yong's "performance," an invisible pressure and a sense of inferiority gripped them.
"Little Jia—"
Someone called out. Jia Hao didn't pay any attention. "Jia" wasn't a rare surname. With people coming and going in the exhibition hall, who would know who was being called?
"Holy crap! Xiao Jia! Are you deaf?! I'm talking to you!"
It wasn't until that impatient and rude rebuke rang out again, louder and full of curses, that Jia Hao was jolted awake from his chaotic thoughts and pulled back to reality!
He instinctively turned his head in response to the sound, and his expression changed instantly when he saw who it was!
"Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu?!"
The man who arrived was Xu Guang! A major client of the Ruishi brand, he had partnered with Huadi KOC, a KOC with some fame on short video platforms known as "Abstract Live Car Talk," to open a Ruishi brand 4S store. This guy had connections; it was said he could even strike up a conversation with Wang Jian, and he always acted arrogantly in front of mid-level managers like Jia Hao. Jia Hao both respected and feared him.
Seeing Xu Guang frowning and glaring at him with displeasure, Jia Hao didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly forced a smile and jogged a few steps to meet him.
"Hello, Mr. Xu! You... what brings you here? Are you here to see Mr. Wang?" He tried to guess Xu Guang's purpose, his tone cautiously ingratiating.
Xu Guang didn't respond to his question. Instead, he swept his signature, scrutinizing, and slightly contemptuous gaze across the HarmonyOS Smart Selection booth sign before glancing sideways at Jia Hao and questioning him in an unfriendly tone:
"Hey kid, what are you doing here?" He paused, as if he'd just remembered something, his brows furrowing even more, his voice deepening with a clear warning. "Didn't you say you wanted to change your car last time we ate? You wouldn't happen to be thinking of buying this HarmonyOS smart car, would you? Hmm?" He took a step closer, lowering his voice, his tone carrying a brash, street-smart vibe. "Kid, don't mess around! This is a competitor to our Ruishi! You need to know what 'political correctness' means! Get it?"
"Um... um..." Jia Hao was speechless after being bombarded with questions by Xu Guang, especially the jarring phrase "politically correct." He broke out in a sweat, feeling incredibly guilty. He was genuinely afraid that Feng Ting would be determined to buy HarmonyOS after seeing the product! If Teacher Shen were to put in a good word for him, he wouldn't know whether to refuse.
"If you ask me, come back to my shop and I'll give you a discount," Xu Guang said, sounding quite distressed lately. He had originally thought that running a Ruishi brand 4S store would be a profitable business. Who knew the sales would be so dismal? Apart from the commercial vehicles selling relatively well, the sales of the main SUVs were terrible, one after another. The new models had only been on the market for a short time, and they had already been discounted by tens of thousands of yuan, but they still weren't selling well. He came today hoping to plead his poverty to Wang Jian and see if the boss could provide some resources. Today, he even had to swallow his pride and try to steal Jia Hao's business.
Jia Hao didn't know what to say, because he didn't know what Shen Jun and Feng Ting were thinking. The main problem was that Liu Li had just looked at the Wenjie M7 and seemed to like the car too. This made things difficult, as he had become the one with little influence.
"What the hell are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything?" Xu Guang cursed, seeing that Jia Hao was distracted while talking to him.
The sound penetrated the not-so-noisy environment of the exhibition hall and clearly reached Feng Ting's ears, who had just stepped off the Wenjie M7!
Just then, Feng Ting got out of the car and heard the man cursing Jia Hao, calling him "your motherfucker." She was immediately furious. "How can you be so rude? Who are you cursing at?"
Feng Ting's sudden outburst and sharp questioning stunned Xu Guang! He didn't expect that someone would dare to jump out and point their finger at him and curse him for scolding a small manager like Jia Hao.
Shen Jun came down at this time as well. Hearing Feng Ting's questioning of Xu Guang, he frowned and said, "Young man, why do you like to use so many catchphrases when you talk?"
It seemed like a criticism of Xu Guang, but it was actually an attempt to calm Feng Ting down. It reminded her that the other person likely knew Jia Hao and was using colloquialisms rather than actually swearing.
Sure enough, Feng Ting's anger subsided slightly. But Xu Guang glared at Jia Hao and asked, "Who are these two to you?"
There was absolutely no politeness towards the elderly or elders in their words.
Just as Jia Hao was about to answer, Xu Guang's gaze swept past the angry Feng Ting and the panicked Jia Hao, and inadvertently landed on Han Xue, who was standing not far behind Feng Ting!
Han Xue had gotten out of the car at some point and was standing next to Shen Jun. She wasn't looking at Xu Guang, but rather tilting her head slightly, seemingly listening to her mother-in-law, Shen Jun, say something softly. Her face was expressionless, still with that aloof and calm demeanor, as if the conflict before her had nothing to do with her.
But just this one glance!
Xu Guang's blood seemed to freeze instantly!
His arrogant demeanor, the ferocity on his face, the profanities about to burst from his mouth... it was as if a bucket of ice water from Siberia had been poured over his head!
"boom--!"
He felt a deafening roar in his mind! His head went completely blank!
Mr. Han...?!
How could he see President Han here?! And... look at the way President Han and that elegant lady are standing together... Good heavens!
Xu Guang's first reaction upon seeing Chen Xiao's companions is to run.
At this moment, Jia Hao saw Xu Guang seemingly frozen in place, his face ashen, his eyes filled with extreme fear, staring intently in Han Xue's direction, his body even beginning to tremble slightly! He knew that Xu Guang knew Han Xue! Xu Guang was terrified!
Sure enough, Xu Guang practically tumbled and staggered past Jia Hao and Feng Ting, rushed to a few steps in front of Han Xue, and then suddenly stopped!
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Mr. Xu, who had just been arrogant and foul-mouthed, bowed deeply towards Han Xue and Shen Yun, almost to the ground, his voice becoming unusually shrill with extreme fear.
"Mr. Han... I'm so sorry! I... I didn't know you were here! I... I was so foul-mouthed! I deserve to die! I was talking nonsense! Please forgive me! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!!" He apologized incoherently while exaggeratingly slapping himself several times.
This dramatic scene made Feng Ting forget her anger. She stared in disbelief at Xu Guang, who had been fierce and menacing just a second ago, but had turned into a pitiful, groveling, and terrified creature in the next second!
Ever since he was beaten up by Chen Xiao last time, and after Xiao Yulong "washed his face with urine" in Zichen Palace, he has been traumatized and even went to see a psychologist last time.
Upon seeing Han Xue, who was standing right next to the two elderly women he had just disrespected, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Han Xue's cool gaze lingered on him for less than half a second. She frowned slightly, seemingly finding the person on the ground somewhat of an eyesore. Then, a cool voice filled with pure doubt rang out:
Who are you? Do I know you?
Of course he remembered Han Xue! And it was unforgettable! Their only close encounter was at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel. It was a dinner gathering with Zhao Xiangjun, Xu Wu, He Qing, and three others—a total of seven people. Wang Jian, oblivious to his own danger, went up to chat her up, only to be thoroughly humiliated. And Xu Guang was standing not far behind Wang Jian at the time.
Han Xue had absolutely no recollection of him! She didn't even notice Xu Guang, who was standing behind Wang Jian like a background figure, too scared to breathe!
"Mom, the air here isn't very good. Shall we go to Junxing's place?" Han Xue said calmly, supporting Shen Jun as she walked past Xu Guang, who was slumped on the ground, lost in a huge, absurd fear, as if he were just an insignificant stain on the ground.
Xu Guang collapsed to the spot, watching Han Xue's indifferent figure gradually disappear into the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and was also glad that he hadn't spoken disrespectfully to Shen Jun, otherwise he would have been in big trouble again today.
Jia Hao and Liu Li hurriedly followed, glancing at Xu Guang as they left. They noticed the fear in Xu Guang's eyes, and Jia Hao finally understood what it meant to be a fox borrowing the tiger's power.
The interior design of Junxing Auto was no less impressive than that of HarmonyOS Smart Selection, and perhaps even surpassed it. The saleswomen were incredibly enthusiastic. Feng Ting whispered to Jia Hao, "You still say Junxing Auto is no good? Ruishi is a big brand from a large group. But compared to Junxing Auto, Ruishi feels rather small-minded."
If Han Xue hadn't been there, Jia Hao would definitely have said a few words in defense, and taken the opportunity to belittle Junxing Motors. But now that he knows Han Xue is a big shot at Junxiao Supermarket, he doesn't dare to say anything bad about Junxing Motors. When Feng Ting asked him this, he could only keep his head down and remain silent.
Shen Jun was naturally pleased to hear Feng Ting praise her son's company, but then suddenly exclaimed, "What brings Ziqian here?" (End of Chapter)
