A Brother Who Can Reach Heaven and Earth
Wang Wen, on the other end of the receiver, asked curiously, "What is it?"
He Jiong stammered incoherently, "I have a friend here named Huang Baobao, he works for the Sixteenth Consortium. He said his father is in poor health and asked me to ask you to meet him. Do you want to meet him?"
There was a moment of silence on the receiver, then a laugh rang out, "These people are really something, managing to get themselves involved with you? Is that guy from the Sixteenth Consortium your friend?"
This statement carries significant weight.
Huang Baobao was almost pressed against the phone, had basically figured out who was on the other end of the line. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
He looked at He Jiong with pleading eyes.
He was hunched over, almost kneeling.
He Jiong seemed to have sobered up a bit.
She looked at Huang Baobao with some hesitation.
Seeing his pained expression, she gritted her teeth and said into the phone, "Yes, he's a friend."
That one sentence brought tears to Huang Baobao's eyes.
Then, something even more unexpected happened.
The person on the other end of the phone said decisively, "Okay, then bring him to Tiansheng headquarters. I'll tell someone to let you two in."
Huang Baobao's brain exploded with a "boom," and he froze on the spot.
Hearing He Jiong's concluding remarks, "Okay! I'll be there soon, thanks, boss!"
The conversation between "Yes, he's a friend" and "I brought him to Tiansheng" kept replaying in my mind.
He's numb.
He held He Jiong's hand and shook it incessantly.
He pursed his lips, repeatedly pounded his chest, and said in a choked voice, "Good brother!"
Huang Baobao knows the weight of the word "friend".
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that a complete stranger would go to great lengths to help you out is something that ordinary relationships wouldn't do.
He grasped He Jiong's hand and said sincerely, "Whether this succeeds or fails, I've decided you're my brother, and I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life!"
He Jiong was even more anxious than him, pulling him towards the door. "Stop arguing and hurry up, my boss is waiting!"
This action dispelled the last trace of doubt in Huang Baobao's mind.
A scammer would never dare to take you to meet the real person!
The only explanation is that this guy, whom we invited by chance, actually had connections and knew that important person!
Their relationship was so close that a single phone call was all it took to get things done!
So many people wouldn't dare take on this kind of job.
This unremarkable "hooligan" and "drunkard" actually did it!!
The whole process reeked of the obsequious, fawning manner of an old eunuch.
But that's status!
Others don't even have the chance to be subservient!
Huang Baobao was initially dragged along by He Jiong.
Before long, he was dragging He Jiong along.
The two walked quickly, soon overtaking most of the guests who were still "strolling" in the hall.
Even those who had reached the door hadn't had time to drive away.
Among them was a cool and aloof beauty who was leaning against a stone pillar, angrily complaining while making a phone call.
Du Keke called her best friend.
She complained about her terrible experience attending the banquet.
Not only did he fail to get to know many famous figures and elites, but he also failed to do so.
Instead, he completely embarrassed himself in front of everyone.
The more she talked, the angrier she became.
She harbored deep resentment towards the man who had humiliated her.
I couldn't resist going through my contacts and blocking all the man's contact information and my friends.
I've made up my mind never to see you again in this lifetime.
I just finished doing all of this.
Du Keke saw her "ideal husband" helping that wicked man out the door.
The man was quite drunk.
Startled by the cold wind outside, he immediately vomited by the flower bed.
Du Keke was still thinking to herself that Huang Baobao truly deserved to be called her "ideal husband"—his character was so good that he even personally saw off a guest he didn't know.
Then they saw "Husband" yelling at his men like a madman, "Don't just stand there like idiots! Water! Towels! Clean clothes! Tell the driver to bring the car over! Turn on the heat beforehand! If any of my brothers catch a chill today, I'll twist your heads off one by one!"
Du Keke was stunned.
The onlookers were stunned.
Fortunately, the waiter was competent and didn't act foolishly; he quickly ran around and efficiently helped take over and care for the person.
He Jiong drank some warm water and wiped his face with a hot towel. Feeling a little better, he struggled to his feet, pushed away the waiters who came over to help him change his coat, and said to Huang Baobao, "Don't waste time, let's go."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Baobao waved to the driver, and without waiting for the waiter He Jiong open the car door and invite him in, she asked him to get in.
People who knew him approached and asked, "Young Master Huang, what are you doing?"
Huang Baobao walked around the car to the other side. He was in a hurry to get things done and didn't want to deal with them, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke up in a voice loud enough for most people to hear, "My brother, He Jiong, is incredibly resourceful and really helped me get in touch with the right people! I'm going with him now, my dad is saved, the Sixteenth Consortium is saved!"
He left those words unsaid.
He got into the car and drove off.
The guests outside the door were whispering among themselves.
Some quick-thinking people swiftly boarded their cars and followed Huang Baobao's taillights.
They saw that a smart person had taken the lead.
The rest of the people followed in twos and threes.
In any case, tonight's banquet ended on a sour note.
A bunch of idle people who had nothing better to do didn't get to enjoy themselves at all.
I'm wondering where to go have some fun next.
What a coincidence, there's going to be some excitement! Let's go after him!
Finally, a large crowd surged to the gate of Tiansheng headquarters.
Even Du Keke was hiding in the crowd, quietly observing.
She thought her "husband" was just a nice guy seeing guests off, but she never expected him to actually put them in a car and then call them "brothers."
She didn't quite understand or hear the specific content.
All I know is that Huang Baobao called that man "brother".
Is He Jiong the brother of the heir to the Sixteenth Consortium?
You must have made a mistake.
When did this happen?
I've never heard of that before!
Based on He Jiong's personality in her memory, if this were true, it would have been talked about and boasted about to the heavens by now!
Du Keke believe it.
I felt there was something fishy about it.
She wanted to see for herself!
So they followed the crowd here.
Then, Huang Baobao was seen helping He Jiong swaying He Jiong into the Tiansheng headquarters, as if he were taking care of his own father.
The two said something to the gatekeeper and were allowed to pass.
One of the security guards even politely guided the two into the building, where they were then escorted away by uniformed staff before finally returning home.
The onlookers outside the gate looked at each other in bewilderment.
A manager surnamed Fang next to Ning Li was talking to someone else. "Those two companies that dominate the market are acting all high and mighty now. Last time I came to discuss business, I couldn't even get in the door. I didn't expect them to be able to get in so easily!"
Upon hearing this...
Ning Li snorted inwardly, thinking: Getting in isn't hard, I can get in too.
He frowned.
Watching the two figures disappear into the building.
He squinted his eyes: What's difficult is to maintain that level of politeness and respect!
Inside the Tiansheng Building.
After answering a phone call, Wang Wen casually said, "Just come in."
Then.
The door to the conference room, now full of people, was opened from the outside.
Two people walked in, dumbfounded, their limbs stiff as if they were mechanical wooden figures.
