Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife
Chapter 470: Let Me Kowtow to You in Person!
"Mr. Chen, save me!"
On the other end of the phone, Huang Zhaozhong was crying like a ghost.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but feel speechless.
"What’s up, Boss Huang? It’s mealtime, you’re really spoiling the mood."
"I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, I shouldn’t be calling you at this time. But given my situation, this timing is actually appropriate to call you! Think of it as doing a good deed for a good return, please save me!"
Chen Xiao’s mood was soured by his pleading voice: "Don’t make a fuss, Boss Huang, I really don’t have time right now."
"It’s not fussing, Mr. Chen. Wan Yide is organizing something tonight for me. I don’t know which bastard leaked the information and found out I posted the news online. He’s really going to deal with me tonight!"
"Mr. Chen, just have a kind heart and save me this time! Or give me an address, and I’ll come find you and bow to you! If that’s not enough, I’ll bow a hundred times!"
The mention of bowing made Chen Xiao want to laugh but couldn’t.
Thinking about it, Huang Zhaozhong is still useful.
At least for the upcoming cooperation between him, Qiu Huasheng, and Dai Hong’Er, Huang Zhaozhong’s Zhaolitong will still be needed.
Nonetheless, Chen Xiao calmly asked:
"Are you really so afraid of Wan Yide? Besides, even if I go, Wan Yide hasn’t broken any laws or offended me, why would he pay attention to me?"
"Damn, in this world, those who make big business don’t have clean hands! Mr. Chen, give me the address, I’ll come and bow to you now, and then you help me, okay?"
"Hey, are you serious, Boss Huang? Really coming to bow to me?"
"Yes, a man is true to his word!"
"Alright, then come...!"
Chen Xiao gave his location to Huang Zhaozhong.
He didn’t believe that in a restaurant setting, Huang Zhaozhong would really kneel down and bow to him.
Chen Xiao led Liu Dayou and the others into the restaurant first.
Just when they started looking at the menu, Huang Zhaozhong hurriedly rushed in.
Chen Xiao had yet to react before Huang Zhaozhong reached the table and immediately kneeled towards Chen Xiao.
Kneeling and saying: "Mr. Chen, save...!"
Chen Xiao didn’t let him finish and didn’t wait for him to kneel completely, pulling him up.
With Liu Dayou, Black Cat, and Xiaoji watching in shock, Chen Xiao curled his lips and said:
"Boss Huang, are you crazy in public?"
"Mr. Chen, I, Huang Zhaozhong, am a straightforward man, saying what needs to be said. Yes, I know kneeling and bowing in front of so many people is humiliating. But compared to the lifelong effort I’ve put in, what does humiliation count for?"
"Don’t stop me, let me bow! As long as you agree to help me!"
Listening to Huang Zhaozhong, Chen Xiao felt morally blackmailed.
Feeling helpless, Chen Xiao pulled him aside and said:
"Alright, where is Wan Yide inviting you for dinner? Start another table there, and I’ll come with you to see what’s going on."
Huang Zhaozhong was overjoyed: "Follow me, I drove here, there’s enough room!"
Chen Xiao nodded and said to Black Cat: "Sorry, Black Cat, let’s eat somewhere else."
Black Cat had regained their composure from earlier shock and said with a mischievous smile:
"Alright, if it weren’t inappropriate, I’d want to join you and Boss Huang for dinner. I bet it’s going to be interesting!"
Chen Xiao chuckled: "Let’s start another table over there, or else it won’t be good if things get heated later."
Laughing, the group left the restaurant under the curious gaze of the other customers.
A few minutes later, Huang Zhaozhong led Chen Xiao and the group to another restaurant.
Despite his urgency, Huang Zhaozhong did not neglect Chen Xiao’s companions.
First, he opened a private room, waited for Black Cat and Xiaoji to finish ordering, then looked at Chen Xiao with an embarrassed smile.
Given Huang Zhaozhong’s situation, Chen Xiao naturally couldn’t delay any longer, lest he make Huang Zhaozhong sick with worry.
"Let’s go, Boss Huang, get me an introduction."
Actually, Chen Xiao did have some interest in Wan Yide.
After all, in this era, the biggest sales channels for mobile phones are offline.
And the largest offline channels are big communication stores like Zhaolitong.
Only three or four companies of Zhaolitong’s scale can match Wan Yide’s De Yitong company.
However... Chen Xiao was considering if he could use both Huang Zhaozhong and Wan Yide, then the distribution channels for the company to be established soon in Dongzhou would almost be sorted out!
Following Huang Zhaozhong to another private room.
Opening the door, Chen Xiao saw three or four people inside at a glance.
Unsure if Hou Yuan was there, but upon seeing Huang Zhaozhong arrive, Wan Yide stood up with a beaming smile:
"Ah Zhong!"
"Brother De!"
The two embraced tightly like brothers.
As they hugged, they patted each other’s backs, almost moved to tears.
Chen Xiao quietly watched their performance, and after they let go, whether it was to let Chen Xiao assess the attendees or due to genuine feelings, Huang Zhaozhong walked towards another person.
"Old Hou, why don’t you greet when we meet?"
Old Hou?
Hearing the name, Chen Xiao knew Huang Zhaozhong was looking for Deng Xiang’s brother-in-law, Hou Yuan.
But Hou Yuan, unlike Wan Yide, stood up with a rigid smile:
"Not that I’m cold-faced on purpose today, but the brother just can’t be happy."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhaozhong asked: "What’s wrong, Old Hou?"
"My brother-in-law and father-in-law were arrested, didn’t you know?" Hou Yuan smirked coldly.
Huang Zhaozhong quickly shook his head like a drum: "Didn’t know, such a big event, I hadn’t heard anything! But weren’t they immigrants? Were they caught abroad?"
"No, in Hai City, they were caught right after landing!"
"Damn, can’t be? They are foreign citizens now!"
Huang Zhaozhong showed a face of shock.
Hou Yuan snickered coldly and Wan Yide didn’t wait for them to talk more. After all, Chen Xiao, whom Huang Zhaozhong brought, had already piqued his curiosity.
Wan Yide returned to Huang Zhaozhong, put his arm around his shoulder, and said:
"We old brothers haven’t gathered in so long, family matters can wait, let’s reminisce tonight!"
Saying this, Wan Yide turned around, pretended to be surprised, and asked Chen Xiao:
"By the way, Ah Zhong, who is this young brother?"
Just as Huang Zhaozhong was about to speak, Chen Xiao introduced himself first:
"I’m Chen Xiao, the general manager of Dragon Cauldron Group in Shencheng City."
Upon hearing Dragon Cauldron in Shencheng City, the group paused.
However, Chen Xiao continued: "Also, Boss Hou, is your father-in-law and brother-in-law named Deng Hu and Deng Xiang?"
Hou Yuan nodded, and Wan Yide squinted his eyes immediately.
But Chen Xiao also smiled and said: "Then I’m really sorry, it was me who caught your father-in-law and brother-in-law!"
