Chapter 465 Things Are Different Now (5K)

Xiao Mi was very fortunate that Zeng Wenjie was able to come and help.

But after hearing Zeng Wenjie's words, she was a little stunned and asked, "Mr. Zeng, are we just going over there?!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Otherwise what?"

Yang Mi was a little shocked.

After showing off, Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already informed my friends in the bureau. They'll be waiting outside with men. If they don't know what's good for them, we'll just go in and take them down!"

Xiao Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see. I thought you were going to go alone. I was so scared."

Xiao Mi gave Zeng Wenjie the address of a large hotel, and then Zeng Wenjie made a phone call.

"Don't worry, Zeng. I'll send people out to keep watch right now."

After receiving the leader's promise, Zeng Wenjie confidently led Xiao Mimi to the restaurant.

Playing the game of the martial arts world, going to a meeting alone with a sword, fighting and killing? That's impossible.

With such a good relationship with the government, of course we have to use it. If you're so capable, go and argue with the state apparatus.

When Zeng Wenjie drove to the restaurant entrance, a man in plainclothes greeted him and said, "Hello, Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Hello, thank you for helping me with this."

The plainclothes officer shook hands with Zeng Wenjie and said, "It's our duty. Don't worry, we guarantee there won't be any problems. Our colleagues are on their way too."

Zeng Wenjie felt that times had really changed. Back then, when he and Zeng Xiangdong saw these people, they had to run away with their tails between their legs, but now, the situation was completely different.

Having guessed the other party's identity, Xiao Mi was completely relieved and said to Zeng Wenjie, "Thank you so much."

Zeng Wenjie said, "You're too kind. You're my brand ambassador. If something happens on my turf, how can I not care? If word gets out, who will want to do my advertising in the future?"

Yang Mi bowed slightly, and then walked into the restaurant with Zeng Wenjie.

The private room was on the first floor. Pushing open the door, I saw four grown men playing mahjong.

The person facing the door looked familiar to Zeng Wenjie, and then he remembered that it was the same G-Wagon driver who had confronted him at the highway exit in Guzhou County.

When the man in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class saw Yang Mi arrive, he raised an eyebrow in delight, but upon seeing Zeng Wenjie, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Miss Yang, didn't I tell you to come alone? Why did you bring a friend?" the man in the G-Class said slowly.

Then, he remembered and said, "I remember now, you're that idiot who drove the A8 the other day."

The other three card players also turned around, and after looking Zeng Wenjie over, they were stunned for a moment.

The guy with the big G-Wagon was a bit ignorant and didn't recognize him, but they did.

Xiao Mimi nervously hid behind Zeng Wenjie and pointed at the man with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, saying, "Mr. Zeng, he's the one who threatened me to have dinner with him."

Before Zeng Wenjie could even speak, the man with the G-Wagon slammed the mahjong tiles down and stood up.

His companion quickly pulled him back and warned in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, this is Zeng Wenjie! Zeng Wenjie! You mustn't act rashly."

The man with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class frowned and asked, "Who the hell is Zeng Wenjie?"

His companion lowered his voice and said, "He's the hottest college student entrepreneur in Chongshan right now. The whole province is supporting him. You absolutely mustn't mess with him, or you'll be in big trouble!"

The man with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class grunted, unmoved, and even said with some disdain, "College student entrepreneur? What is that! In Fengzhou, if he dares to disrespect me, anyone else will have to kneel down."

He was clearly the highest-ranking of the four, and his three companions dared not disobey him, easily breaking free with a few swift movements.

After breaking free from his companions, this hot-tempered man picked up a stool and smashed it over Zeng Wenjie's head.

Before he could even get close, several plainclothes officers, looking like wolves, suddenly rushed in from outside the door and pinned him down on the spot, along with his three companions.

The man with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was stunned for a moment, then yelled and cursed, "You dare touch me? Do you even know who I am? If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you don't see the moon tonight!"

Zeng Wenjie, annoyed by his noise, grabbed two mahjong tiles and shoved them into his mouth to shut him up, then asked the team leader, "Could this be grounds for imprisonment?"

The team leader nodded and said, "Please communicate with our leader."

The three companions of the man with the G-Wagon cried out, "It's none of our business! We even tried to break up the fight, but Jiang Quan started it himself!"

The team leader said calmly, "Let's go inside and talk slowly. We'll take your statement first and then confirm the situation."

Just as they were about to take the person away, someone came from outside the door, probably because they had made a bit too much noise.

"What are you doing? What did my brother do?" The woman who reached the door frowned and questioned him sternly.

"He is suspected of threatening, assault, and provoking trouble. We have arrested him in accordance with the law," the team leader replied.

Upon seeing Zeng Wenjie, the woman was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, "It's you?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Miss Jiang Wei, what a coincidence."

Jiang Quan had two mahjong tiles stuffed in his mouth and couldn't spit them out. He was also pressed down on the table, whimpering and unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Jiang Wei's lips twitched, and she pointed at Jiang Quan, asking, "Can you give me an explanation?"

“Teacher Yang is the spokesperson for our brand. He threatened people to come and have dinner with him, so I came over to check it out. But your younger brother is obviously a brainless hothead. He picked up a stool and was about to hit me,” Zeng Wenjie said, shrugging.

These words infuriated Jiang Wei. She truly hadn't expected Jiang Quan to be so brainless. She had already instructed him that times had changed and he should keep a low profile. She was to leave this troublesome place after she had dealt with her assets in Fengzhou.

Who would have thought that this foolish little brother would disobey his mother and cause trouble, even dragging Zeng Wenjie into it.

Zeng Wenjie said, "By the way, I met your brother back in Guzhou County. He tried to stop my car at the highway exit, ready to beat me up. If a provincial government Coaster hadn't come along, I probably would have been punched by him!"

Jiang Wei nearly fainted from anger upon hearing this; she never expected that Jiang Quan, that bastard, would cause such a huge mess.

If his powerful backer were still around, it wouldn't have mattered if Jiang Quan offended Zeng Wenjie, but now that his backer is gone, his arrogance makes Jiang Wei wonder if he's really lost his mind!
Jiang Wei smiled wryly and said, "President Zeng, may I speak to you in private?"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "I don't look at that stuff, I won't lend it."

Jiang Wei was stunned, and Yang Mi also felt that the sugar daddy's words were a bit incoherent.

But the team leader couldn't help but laugh, instantly understanding, because he had once arrested a group of people selling such discs.

Jiang Wei took a deep breath and said, "President Zeng, he was in the wrong. I apologize to you. Can you please be lenient and let him off the hook? I'm almost done with what I'm doing here. After that, I'll take him away from Fengzhou and never come back."

Zeng Wenjie then said, "No way!"

Last time, I stopped him at a dangerous highway intersection, but nothing happened afterward, so I let it go.

Now that we've fallen into his hands, how can we let him live? Giving him at least ten or eight years would be a disservice to his arrogant, thuggish demeanor!

Jiang Wei looked displeased; she hadn't expected Zeng Wenjie to be so difficult to talk to.

Zeng Wenjie said to the team leader, "Thank you for taking the people away. Let's follow the procedures. I'll contact the city later."

The team leader nodded, waved his hand, and led all four people who had just been playing mahjong away.

"Is President Zeng really trying to drive people to their deaths?" Jiang Wei asked in a gloomy tone as she looked at Jiang Quan and the others being taken away.

"He brought this on himself, who can he blame? If you want to get revenge on me, you can try." Zeng Wenjie said coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Jiang Wei, who once held immense power, now feels so powerless and frustrated.

The young man's imposing presence made it almost impossible for her to lift her head.

But for her younger brother's sake, Jiang Wei still endured her grievances and said, "President Zeng, as long as you are willing to let Jiang Quan go, I will do anything you ask."

Zeng Wenjie glanced at Jiang Wei, who was somewhat attractive, and scoffed, saying, "Just average!" Xiao Mimi, standing to the side, didn't say a word, only feeling that Zeng Wenjie at this moment was a true man, possessing a masculine charm that inspired admiration.

Despite his young age, he already possesses the aura of a top leader.

These words made Jiang Wei furious and cold. She instinctively wanted to stand up for herself, but considering the current situation, she softened her tone and said, "President Zeng, it's best to be lenient. My brother is too stupid. You don't need to lower yourself to his level."

"If he has done anything wrong, I will apologize to you, and compensation is all negotiable."

"Once this is over, I will leave Fengzhou immediately and never return, nor will I ever bother Miss Zeng Mi again."

Seeing that she maintained a subservient attitude, Zeng Wenjie raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Mimi, saying, "Teacher Yang, what do you think should be done?"

Xiao Mi is young and soft-hearted, so she said, "I will listen to President Zeng's opinion, but if they can guarantee that they will not harass me again, I can forgive him."

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said to Jiang Wei, "Alright, but I don't want him to stay in Fengzhou before midnight tonight. If you can't do that, then let him stay in there for a few years."

Jiang Wei immediately replied, "It's possible, Mr. Zeng, don't worry, I'll send him away right away!"

Zeng Wenjie waved his hand and said, "That's settled then. I'll make a call, and you can go and bail them out."

Jiang Wei bowed repeatedly, then hurriedly ran out.

The moment she stepped out of the restaurant, she truly felt the transformation of Fengzhou, or rather, Chongshan. She never imagined that one day she would lower her head and so earnestly apologize to a college student...

After being pulled out, Jiang Wei raised her hand and slapped Jiang Quan hard across the face.

"Didn't I tell you time and time again not to cause trouble? You just can't control yourself? You dare to mess with anyone!" Jiang Wei shouted angrily.

“Sister, she’s just a college student…” Jiang Quan said.

"Just a college student?! If I hadn't begged him to show mercy, you'd be in jail for at least three to five years! Do you think things are still the same as before? In the entire Chongshan, who would dare to lay a finger on him?" Jiang Wei was furious. She had lost so much face that she wanted to kill her stupid son.

Jiang Quan was extremely embarrassed by the insults, especially since they were delivered in front of three friends. He felt incredibly aggrieved.

He wanted to retort, but his companion said, "Sister Wei is right. No one in the entire Chongshan can afford to offend Zeng Wenjie now. Not to mention Chongshan, even people from the capital who have tea splashed in their faces by him have slunk away without daring to retaliate. At most, they can only exchange some verbal sparring."

Jiang Wei took a deep breath to calm herself down and said coldly, "Leave now. I'll arrange for someone to send you away from Fengzhou. If you dare to sneak back, I'll break your legs!"

Jiang Quan never expected that bullying a minor celebrity would cause such a big problem, almost landing him in jail.

He was very resentful, but after hearing his sister and friends describe it so seriously, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zeng Wenjie had also had people keeping an eye on Jiang Wei. If she didn't keep her promise to send Jiang Quan away, he would have her arrested again. This time, he wouldn't let her off the hook no matter what.

After resolving the matter, Zeng Wenjie said to Xiao Mimi, "Teacher Yang, I'm so sorry for this unpleasant incident. But don't worry, most of us from Chongshan are warm and hospitable; these are just a few bad apples."

Xiao Mi nodded happily and said, "Thank you, President Zeng! You haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't I treat you to a meal here?"

Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, then I'll trouble Teacher Yang to pay for it."

He had absolutely no interest in Yang Mi, or rather, he had no interest in the entertainment industry as a whole.

Despite her young age, Yang Mi was reportedly slept with by a powerful figure when she was filming an electric vehicle commercial.

Moreover, getting involved with female celebrities in the entertainment industry can easily lead to trouble, and Zeng Wenjie certainly doesn't want to get himself into trouble because of these messy things.

After having dinner treated by Yang Mi, Zeng Wenjie said, "If you encounter any trouble in Chongshan in the future, you can come to me. And I hope that after you become famous, when our contract expires, you'll still choose us as your partners!"

Xiao Mimi hurriedly said, "President Zeng, you have helped me so much, I am very grateful! Don't worry, as long as you don't mind that I'm not famous enough in the future, I am willing to renew my contract with Marlenia at any time."

With her words, Zeng Wenjie felt relieved.

The future Yang Mi will grow into Yang Mi, and can be said to be a top-tier celebrity like Liu Yifei, extremely expensive, with endorsement fees in the hundreds of millions.

Let's lay a solid foundation first. When the ten-year child labor contract expires, we might be able to negotiate a better price for renewal.

To Xiao Mi's disappointment, Zeng Wenjie seemed uninterested in her, and even kept his distance.

This made her a little insecure, but when she thought of Mu Qingyang, her lips twitched. Indeed, she couldn't compare; the more she compared, the less confident she became!
Zeng Wenjie drove Xiao Mi back to her hotel and then received a call from Zeng Mi.

"Is everything going well?" Zeng Mi asked with concern.

"Good luck! How about you? Did you pick up your car?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

“I did mention it! But why not choose black for this mid-to-large SUV? Why choose white?” Zeng Mi said.

The Volvo XC90 she mentioned was white, so it didn't look quite right to her.

Mid-to-large SUVs do look more imposing and have a stronger presence when black, except for two-tone Land Rovers and white Land Cruisers.

"According to surveys and statistics, the accident rate of white cars is much lower than that of black cars because white is more conspicuous at night," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Zeng Mi was speechless after hearing this, and after a long while she finally said, "How afraid are you of me dying?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Of course, everything should be for your safety. A car is just a means of transportation. Besides, white is dirt-resistant and looks good, while it's too much trouble to wash a black car every day!"

He drove his car to the teahouse and saw a white Volvo XC90 parked at the entrance.

The car is a good car, but the brand's reputation is a bit weak, and it has a transverse engine, which is somewhat unworthy of the price.

The price of this XC90 is no cheaper than Zeng Wenjie's Audi A8.

Zeng Mi was sitting in the car fiddling with something she wasn't yet familiar with when Zeng Wenjie opened the passenger door and got in.

"It's pretty good, and there's no strange smell, which is nice," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Thank you!" Zeng Mi said happily.

Despite the complaints, I was still very happy and excited to actually drive the new car.

The Volvo XC90 is known for its zero-death record, and Zeng Wenjie hopes that this record can continue indefinitely and that no one will break it.

After fiddling with the car's infotainment system for a while and getting used to it, Zeng Mi asked, "I ate at the dealership, have you eaten?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "I've already eaten, but I deliberately saved some room to celebrate your new car purchase."

Zeng Mi laughed and said, "Really? You helped that little star so much, she must be so moved that she'd want to repay you with her body, right? I thought you were going to find an excuse not to come to my place tonight."

Zeng Wenjie immediately darkened his face and said, "You're making it sound like I'm not a good person. I have no interest in women in the entertainment industry."

"If you're not interested in Guo Xiang, what about Xiaolongnu?" Zeng Mi asked thoughtfully.

Zeng Wenjie gasped, waved his hand, and said, "Even a fairy goddess might not look as good as you in a cheongsam!"

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "Definitely!"

While drinking, Zeng Mi asked about the details of the matter, and Zeng Wenjie satisfied her gossipy nature.

Upon hearing that Jiang Quan was behind it all, Zeng Mi shook her head and said, "So it was him... He's always been arrogant, but I never expected him to be so brainless. Without his sister, he would have been dead countless times already!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "If I had known he was going to come after me, I wouldn't have bought the Volvo. I would have just intercepted his G-Class and given it to you."

Zeng Mi immediately rolled her eyes and then asked, "You said you wanted to buy a villa, did you buy it?"

“I’m already looking, but I don’t have time to do renovations, so I’m only looking for fully furnished villas that I can move into right away,” Zeng Wenjie said.

A fully furnished villa means spending money unnecessarily, but Zeng Wenjie doesn't need that money now.

Zeng Mi then whispered in his ear, "I only have one small request: I have to stay in the new house for the first night."
