Chapter 208 The Approachable Bosses
Yan Changye and Huo Yungui left arm in arm.

The head of the Chen family watched the two figures disappear and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Yan Changye was willing to accept the apology on Huo Yungui's behalf, the matter was considered closed. It was just that this once insignificant Huo family brat had somehow gained incredible luck and become the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince of the capital!

It's obvious without even thinking that before long, the Huo family will be added to the ranks of Chongqing's elite families. Even without a strong business foundation, they will be an existence that other wealthy families absolutely cannot afford to offend...

He took two deep breaths to calm his inner turmoil before adjusting his expression and looking at the heads of the other powerful families: "Shall we go to the outer hall and continue waiting?"

"You all go first, I'll make a phone call." The head of the Lan family took the phone and walked to the side.

The police arrived, and with witnesses and evidence in handcuffs, they took Li Laowu out on the spot. Liu Zi's case wasn't as serious, but he was also taken into custody.

The corridor quickly became deserted.

The head of the Lan family went to a secluded spot and made a phone call to his daughter, his tone unusually gentle:
"When you come back from your business trip, bring Yun Gui home for a meal."

The person on the other end was clearly a little surprised: "Haven't you always been against us?"

The head of the Lan family paused for a moment, then said, "From now on, I will not object."

“He’s not a good man and his temperament isn’t exactly good either. He can’t possibly be your loyal and devoted husband.” Lan Sisi said with a half-smile, “I don’t want him to be bound by all those rules and regulations at home. It’s fine if he just stays in a relationship like this for the rest of his life. This meal of yours might be another trap. It’s better not to eat it.”

The head of the Lan family felt a little heartbroken: "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to use the Lan family's rules and regulations to restrain him."

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is, if you like someone, you should settle down sooner rather than later." The head of the Lan family thought about the undisguised eagerness of the other wealthy families. "If you wait any longer, other young ladies will have their eyes on you."

"He's not that popular."

The head of the Lan family said solemnly, "No, he is more popular than any other young master from a wealthy family in Chongqing right now."

The conference room.

Amidst a variety of complex gazes, Huo Yungui nervously followed Yan Changye to the door that represented the gathering place of the top echelons of power in the country.

"Brother-in-law, I'm starting to panic..."

"I am here."

Yan Changye's voice, casual yet slightly arrogant, rang out, and the next moment, he nonchalantly pushed open the door.

Inside the door, a dozen or so men all looked up at the same time.

Yan Changye gestured to Shen Zongqian, who had accompanied him in, to arrange a seat for Huo Yungui next to him. Then, he placed his hand on Huo Yungui's shoulder in a slightly intimate manner, his voice soft:

"This is my brother-in-law, who will be joining the discussion next. I plan to let him get some experience with the project in Yucheng District."

The eyes of the princes lit up slightly.

This young master from the capital city was different from them, who were still waiting to inherit the family business and become power candidates. He had been in power for many years and was in charge of the top family in Beijing's elite circles. He usually talked to their fathers and grandfathers. They were just worried that after this entertainment project, they wouldn't have the chance to have this bigwig from Beijing's elite circles take them out for fun. But then, a connection was delivered right to their doorstep...

The Crown Prince's brother-in-law! If they accidentally become sworn brothers, they'll definitely be in Yan Changye's circle. And for these heirs who seem glamorous but are actually in deep trouble within their families, being able to get close to Yan Changye is definitely their biggest advantage in the future competition for the position of family head.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Changye finished speaking, all the high-ranking and powerful princes stood up, took out their phones, and spoke in increasingly enthusiastic tones:
"Hey brother-in-law, I'm Wang Yunni from the Wang family conglomerate in Shanghai. Let's add each other as friends and play games or cards online sometime!"

"Hello, brother-in-law. I am Shen Yi from the Shen family of Yuecheng. Let's add each other as friends. Come to Yuecheng sometime, and I will personally be your tour guide."

"Hello, brother-in-law. I am Ji Yancheng from Jincheng. It feels like we've known each other forever since we first met..."

"Hello, brother-in-law! I'm Liu Jinyan from Chongqing. We live in the same city, so we should get together more often!"

……

Huo Yungui had never heard of or seen the other people, but he knew this one from Yucheng: the eldest son of the number one family in Yucheng's political circles, whose maternal family was the most prestigious family in Yucheng, a true top-level noble young master!
Rumor has it that this young master from Chongqing is very difficult to get along with, but I never expected that the unapproachable young master would be so approachable in private.
Huo Yungui stared blankly at the group of people in front of him.

Each of them was dressed exquisitely and in high style, and their noble demeanor, cultivated by their family background, was quite impressive. They ranged in age from their early twenties to their thirties, but at this moment they all addressed Yan Changye as "brother-in-law" with great sincerity.

He couldn't help but look at Yan Changye again: Nowadays, is the status of a meeting host so high?
The doubts in his mind flashed by, and the next moment, he had already added more than a dozen rich young masters as friends.

Next, he sat obediently next to Yan Changye, listening to these princes talk eloquently. Their vision, foresight, and strategic planning were at a level that Huo Yungui had never encountered before. He couldn't understand eight out of ten sentences, but that didn't stop him from experiencing the top-notch atmosphere of this elite circle of heirs cultivated by a true aristocratic family.

These high-ranking princes were also extremely considerate and courteous in their dealings with others. During the conversation, they would occasionally pour Huo Yungui a cup of tea or serve him a plate of snacks. Even when they didn't need to speak, they would lean in and chat with Huo Yungui about everyday matters, neither too warm nor too distant, striking just the right balance.

After the meeting, we dined at the hotel's VIP restaurant.

At several large round tables, Huo Yungui sat with his brother-in-law alongside a large group of powerful and wealthy young men, while the heads of wealthy families and important business and political figures sat at another table in the outer hall.

Amidst the frequent glances from the family patriarchs and important officials, Huo Yungui, in a daze, clinked glasses and fraternized with the young masters, remaining oblivious until the dinner ended.

In the afternoon, we moved to a private room in the hotel's upscale entertainment club to continue discussing the project.

After the banquet ended and the princes went their separate ways, Huo Yungui looked at the suddenly deserted surroundings and finally felt a sense of reality.

Shen Zongqian personally drove Huo Yungui and Yan Changye back to Hanyueting.

On the way, Huo Yungui kept his head down, scrolling through WeChat on his phone, looking slightly puzzled.

Yan Changye lowered his eyes to look at him, noticing that his phone screen was filled with the contact cards of the young masters he had added that day, and slowly asked:
"So, do you still think they're a bunch of living ancestors?"

"They're all quite easy to get along with," Huo Yungui sighed. "It's just that I remember all those people; I added them all, so why can't I find that Beijing socialite's business card in my WeChat friends list?"

He racked his brains: "I clearly remember that every single one of those people added me on WeChat, but at the time I was completely confused. After listening to each of their self-introductions, I got all mixed up. There were circles like Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, and Hangzhou, and I couldn't remember which one was from the Beijing circle... Wait a minute, I really care about that big shot from the Beijing circle. Logically speaking, if he just greeted me, I would definitely remember him."

Yan Changye: "..."

He thought he had made his point clear enough. Did his brother-in-law still not understand?

Even Shen Zongqian, who was driving, couldn't help but cough lightly.
