Young Master Qin

"Young Master Cai, what brings you here?"

Liao Yingjiang ran over to Cai Cheng eagerly, bowing with a face full of deep respect.

This scene instantly dumbfounded everyone present.

Shen Jun, in particular, was completely flabbergasted.

He never would have imagined that the general manager of his company would be so incredibly respectful to such a young man.

More importantly, he had just gotten into a conflict with this young man, who even told him that he wouldn't need to come to work starting tomorrow.

Originally, Shen Jun thought Cai Cheng was just bluffing. Who could have known that the guy actually had that kind of power!

"Young... Young Master Cai... I-I..."

His voice trembled. Looking at Cai Cheng, he stuttered for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence.

"Shen Jun, you know Young Master Cai?" Liao Yingjiang asked from the side out of curiosity.

"Heh, this is the manager of our Shanhai Group, a big shot with an annual salary of a million. How could I be qualified to know him?"

Before Shen Jun could speak, Cai Cheng spoke up first.

Hearing this, how could Liao Yingjiang not see the situation clearly?

It must be that this idiot, not knowing Cai Cheng's identity just now, had verbally offended him.

"Young... Young Master Cai... I-I... It's my fault for failing to recognize a VIP like you..."

Shen Jun was so terrified that his legs gave out, almost kneeling on the ground, and he slapped himself hard across the face.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of background this Young Master Cai had, seeing even Liao Yingjiang act so respectfully, it was obvious that this young man definitely possessed a terrifyingly powerful background. He was not someone a nobody like himself could afford to provoke.

"Don't, I can't bear the weight of your apology."

Cai Cheng snorted coldly, then stood up and continued, "Besides, the person you offended isn't me, it's Young Master Qin. If you want to apologize, go apologize to Young Master Qin."

"Young... Young Master Qin?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Shen Jun was the first to react, looking toward Qin Ning in absolute disbelief.

How was this possible?

Wasn't Qin Ning just a lowly food delivery guy?

Young Master Cai, whom even General Manager Liao Yingjiang treated with such servility, was actually calling Qin Ning 'Young Master Qin'?

Could he be dreaming?

"Qin... Qin Ning... No... I mean... Young Master Qin!"

After the initial shock, Shen Jun quickly came to his senses. He hurriedly ran over to Qin Ning, his legs so weak from fear that he fell straight to his knees. With a trembling voice, he pleaded, "Young Master Qin, you are a magnanimous person. It was my fault for being blind and offending you just now. Please... please, for the sake of us once being classmates, spare... spare me this time!"

"How could a bottom-feeder like me dare to associate with someone as high up as you?" Qin Ning smiled faintly, his eyes looking at the other party calmly.

"No, no... Young Master Qin, I truly know I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person, please just let me off."

"Enough."

Qin Ning waved his hand. "Today is the birthday banquet of the class monitor's grandfather. I don't want to make things too ugly and ruin everyone's mood. Go stand obediently by the door until the banquet ends, and we will let this matter pass."

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing this, Shen Jun was overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed and bowed, as if he had received a royal pardon.

He knew very well what kind of person Liao Yingjiang was. A young man whom even his general manager treated with the utmost respect was now calling Qin Ning 'Young Master Qin' in a tone full of awe. It was easy to imagine that Qin Ning's current power was so terrifying that it far exceeded his own comprehension.

With the other party's current status, making him disappear from this world would be far too easy.

Now, Qin Ning was only making him stand by the door as punishment. In Shen Jun's eyes, this was an absolute blessing from his ancestors.

"Young Master Qin, Shanhai Group is an enterprise invested by my Cai family. Today, Shen Jun offended you, I..."

After Shen Jun left, Cai Cheng also hurriedly came before Qin Ning, his face full of anxiety and unease.

"It has nothing to do with you." Qin Ning waved his hand, showing no intention of blaming him.

Hearing this, Cai Cheng finally let out a slow sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the crowd on the side had long been stunned silly.

Just what kind of background did this Young Master Qin have?

One must know that the most successful entrepreneur in the room was Liao Yingjiang, who had just arrived. Yet, a young man whom even Liao Yingjiang respected was now showing such reverence and fear toward another young man. It was hard to imagine just how earth-shattering Qin Ning's identity must be.

"Qin Ning, you..."

Su Xingwan couldn't help but speak up, wanting to ask something.

Qin Ning smiled faintly. "Class monitor, you should be about done greeting the guests, right? Do you want to sit down and have a drink together? It's been quite a few years since we last saw each other."

"Alright." Su Xingwan took a deep breath, suppressing the doubt and shock in her heart, and nodded.

She wasn't stupid. Of course, she understood that the current Qin Ning was no longer the same person he used to be.

However, since the other party had no intention of explaining, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to keep pressing him with questions. Not only would that fail to get her any answers, but it would also only make Qin Ning feel resentful.

"You guys sit down too."

Qin Ning looked at Luo Ze and Lin Hongying, who were also standing frozen in place.

"Uh... okay... okay." The two of them blankly came back to their senses. But after sitting down, they felt somewhat anxious and uneasy, as if sitting on pins and needles.

Neither of them had expected that their former vice class monitor would have reached a height they could not even look up to.

Soon, the banquet officially began.

Liao Yingjiang also sat at the same table as Qin Ning and the others. He even acted like a waiter, pouring wine for everyone seated one by one.

Because he was very clear about Cai Cheng's identity.

This was the eldest young master of the Cai family in the Magic City. Liao Yingjiang also knew Wang Er.

At this moment, these two top-tier young masters were actually accompanying them here like mere lackeys. One could imagine that this Qin Ning's power was far more terrifying than he had envisioned.

In that case, which of his classmates and the people sitting at this table could he afford to provoke?

"Xingwan."

Just then, a white-haired old man leaning on a walking stick walked over, supported by someone.

This was Old Master Tang Pengfei of the Tang family, today's birthday honoree, and also Su Xingwan's grandfather.

He was not in good health. When those things happened just now, Tang Pengfei had not yet arrived, but he had heard some talk about it. He knew that the people sitting at the table with Su Xingwan right now were not simple.

Wasn't it true that even a famous entrepreneur like Liao Yingjiang could only accompany them for drinks like a subordinate right now?

"Grandfather."

Su Xingwan stood up and went to greet him. "You're not in good health, why did you come over? Let me help you back to your seat."

"No need. Although your grandfather is getting on in years, just standing for a little while won't hurt. I heard that quite a few of your classmates came today, so I thought I'd come over and say hello."

Old Master Tang smiled, then picked up a cup of tea poured by someone beside him and raised it toward the crowd. "You are all Xingwan's classmates and friends. I am very glad you could make it today. Given my advanced age and poor health, I will abstain from alcohol. Please allow me to substitute wine with tea and offer you all a toast."

"You are too polite, Old Master."

Qin Ning smiled faintly, taking the lead to stand up and raise his glass in return.

Seeing this, the others also stood up one after another to return the toast.

"Xingwan, make sure to take good care of your classmates and friends." Soon after finishing his tea, Old Master did not forget to give this instruction before turning around.

"Master, out... outside... outside..."

Just then, a servant of the Su family rushed in hurriedly.

"What is going on outside? Why are you in such a panic?" Old Master frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"Cai... It is President Cai! President Cai of the Jinghong Group! He just came upstairs and should be right outside the door by now."

"President Cai! The Jinghong Group!"

Hearing these words, Old Master Tang was instantly startled.

Wasn't that Cai Kun?

A top-tier entrepreneur who ranked among the absolute best in the Magic City, and even the entire country!
