Seeing the man’s murderous gaze, he said nervously, “Yes, it’s the people below who don’t understand the situation. Ninth Master, don’t worry. I’ll inform the sponsor immediately and let them negotiate with the organizing committee to revoke Duke Raymond’s judgeship.”
Xie Jiuhan said coldly, “You’re disqualifying him now? Isn’t it too late? The competition seems to be starting soon!”
Su Yu hurriedly said, “It’s not late, it’s not late. If this matter isn’t resolved properly, let the competition be delayed. When it’s resolved, then it will officially start.” One is marked by the company one keeps. After being by Xie Jiuhan’s side for a long time, Su Yu felt that his way of speaking had started to become domineering.
Seeing Xie Jiuhan frown, Su Yu asked, “Ninth Master, regarding the special guest judge, do you have anyone to recommend?”
Hearing that Su Yu had finally hit the nail on the head, the cold aura on Xie Jiuhan’s body dissipated. He stretched out a finger and pointed at Su Yu’s nose. There was an unfathomable smile on his lips.
Su Yu : “…”
If possible, he hoped that he would faint immediately. That way, he wouldn’t have to accompany Xie Jiuhan and fool around. How could a layman like him, who didn’t even know the composition of the shampoo, be a judge at the International Fragrance Competition? And a specially invited one? The Ninth Master must be joking!
Seeing through his thoughts, Xie Jiuhan did not comment. “Why are you panicking? Be more confident. Although you don’t understand, you’re definitely the highest status among all the judges. After all, you’re the head secretary of the Xie Corporation’s secretariat. In the ancient feudal society, you’re equivalent to the chief steward of the palace. Who dares to look down on you?”
Su Yu: “???”
Su Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did the word ‘chief steward’ sound so awkward? Su Yu felt his pants turn cold…
However, Xie Jiuhan had already decided. He could only brace himself and be a judge. He felt that it was too difficult to be the head of the secretariat.
…
In the Capital’s Hexagon World Trade City.
“Damn it, why aren’t you letting me in? Don’t you know who I am?” At the entrance, Raymond was stopped by two security personnel before he could take a step in.
Standing beside Duke Raymond was Cao Beining and Gu Qingyang who were protecting him on both sides. The two of them had volunteered to be Raymond’s sidekicks.
“How dare the two of you not open your damn eyes? He’s a core member of the Country F’s royal family, the richest man in Country F, Duke Raymond. I think the two of you don’t want to live anymore if you don’t let him in.” Cao Beining roared at the two security personnel.
“We don’t care who he is or who he loves. It has nothing to do with us. If you came a minute earlier, you might have gone in. But a minute ago, we received an order that Duke Raymond was disqualified by the organizing committee and the organizers at the same time!”
“What did you say?! Disqualify the Duke?” Cao Beining was shocked. No wonder the two security guards dared to treat them like this. It was an order from the higher-ups.
Exchanging glances with Gu Qingyang, the two of them looked at Duke Raymond. Ever since Raymond came to Xia country, they had taken the initiative to express their goodwill and wanted to build a good relationship with Duke Raymond, especially Cao Beining. He knew that Raymond was a specially invited judge for the International Fragrance Competition, so he tried his best to please him. After all, Feng Jianing was also participating in the competition, so he hoped that Raymond could give Feng Jianing a high score and guarantee that she would enter the finals.
“Duke Raymond, I just verified with the organizers that you have indeed been temporarily disqualified as a judge.” A bodyguard who came from Country F said to Raymond.
“What’s going on? Why did they revoke my judgeship?” Raymond’s expression was extremely ugly. This fact was too embarrassing.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and said, “Duke Raymond, the person who replaced you is called Su Yu. He’s the head secretary of the Xie Corporation’s secretariat. He’s Xie Jiuhan’s most capable assistant.”
Hearing the words ‘Xie Corporation’, Raymond was slightly stunned. Xie Jiuhan had finally started. It looked like the Xie Corporation already knew that he had sent five assassins. However, he didn’t expect them to investigate so quickly.
Instantly, countless thoughts flashed across Raymond’s mind.. He was thinking about what Xie Jiuhan meant. Was he giving him a warning, or was he officially declaring war on him?
