However, things were different now. Quan Jingzhou actually knew how to keep a low profile. From the looks of it, losing the position of chairman of the Quan Corporation was a huge blow to him.
“Hehe, this is karma. Who asked him to rely on the Quan Corporation to strut around? I’m really happy to see him become so cautious and timid!” The little heart said with a smile.
Chi Jiao’s smile deepened and she said calmly, “This is just the beginning. Quan Jingzhou will experience true despair later.”
Meanwhile, in a secret room on the second floor of the banquet hall.
The window of the secret room looked like stained glass. From the outside, one couldn’t even guess that there was such a secret room on the second floor.
The view from the window of the secret room was excellent. One could clearly see everything in the hall.
The secret room was dark. The dazzling light from the hall shone gently on Quan Jue’s face by the window, causing his already sharp gaze to turn even colder.
Behind him stood a middle-aged man. He was wearing glasses and had a smile on his lips the entire time. He looked refined and harmless. No one would expect him to be the Xuan Sect’s Third Elder, who was best at assassination.
Quan Jue stood at the window and gently swirled the red wine glass in his hand. He looked down at Quan Jingzhou and Quan Yan, who were looking for someone in the hall.
“How was your interaction with Quan Jingzhou the last time?” Quan Jue asked indifferently as he looked at the latter.
At the mention of Quan Jingzhou, disdain appeared in Zhuang Fu’s eyes. However, he still smiled respectfully. “According to your instructions, I casually chatted with Quan Jingzhou for a while. He thinks that I don’t hate him for what happened in university back then. If nothing goes wrong, Quan Jingzhou must be urgently looking for me to set him up with the Xuan Sect. He’s waiting for me to go down.”
“Go and have a nice chat with him, then. Don’t let his ‘good care’ of you 20 years ago be in vain,” Quan Jue said with a smile.
Zhuang Fu nodded and smiled. He turned around and left the room, following the secret passage all the way to the hall.
Quan Jue remained upstairs and watched indifferently as Zhuang Fu headed straight for Quan Jingzhou and Quan Yan.
Taking a sip of red wine, Quan Jue soon spotted Chi Jiao.
He still instantly noticed her even though there were so many guests in the hall.
Quan Jue’s smile deepened. He put down his wine glass and left the secret room.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Fu pretended to bump into Quan Jingzhou.
The cold glint in Zhuang Fu’s eyes was fleeting. There was no disdain on his face at all. Instead, he greeted Quan Jingzhou warmly. “Jingzhou, when did you arrive? When I sent you the invitation, I was worried that you wouldn’t be willing to come. I didn’t expect to bump into you the moment I arrived. We’re really fated.”
Quan Jingzhou was completely blinded by his enthusiasm and did not notice the deeper intent in his eyes. “That’s right. Zhuang Fu, let me introduce you. This is my son, Quan Yan. Quickly greet your Uncle Zhuang. He’s the Third Elder of the Xuan Sect. With him taking care of you in the future, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Quan Yan was very sensible. He quickly smiled and reached out to shake hands with Zhuang Fu. “Hello, Uncle Zhuang. My name is Quan Yan. My father often praises you. I’ve finally met you today.”
Zhuang Fu shook his hand and suddenly asked with a smile, “Oh? What did your father say about me?”
