"Alright," Chen Jiuyang said, "Send me the address, and I'll be right over."
Hu Qijie sent an address, which was for a hotel.
Chen Jiuyang's driver had changed from Deng Zun to Fang Bahua.
Deng Zun was only at the late Huang realm, his strength was a bit too weak. He could lead his disciples into Feng Han Hou Mansion to serve as ordinary household guards and escorts. Now that Chen Jiuyang had fallen out with Xi Butui, if Deng Zun were to accompany Chen Jiuyang out, his life would be in danger. It was better for him to stay in Feng Han Hou to cultivate, patrol, and oversee the production of Chunyang Buqi Pills.
Fang Bahua was already a Grandmaster of the Di realm. With him accompanying Chen Jiuyang, his sense of security increased greatly.
Upon arriving at the hotel location Hu Qijie had sent, Chen Jiuyang stated the private room Hu Qijie had booked. A waiter led Chen Jiuyang to a luxurious private room.
Inside, there were about a dozen people scattered around, all young men and women. Chen Jiuyang didn't recognize any of them.
Chen Jiuyang scanned the room. Hu Qijie wasn't there. Chen Jiuyang called Hu Qijie, but he was on another call. Chen Jiuyang casually found a young man and asked, "Where is Hu Qijie?"
The young man replied, "Young Master Hu is probably entertaining other distinguished guests."
Chen Jiuyang was taken aback, then asked, "What's your relationship with Hu Qijie?"
The young man said, "I'm a distributor for Young Master Hu's family. The Black Jade Intermittent Cream produced by Young Master Hu's family sells very well in the market, and demand exceeds supply. Many people from out of town are interested in this medicine and want to get their hands on it from Young Master Hu."
Chen Jiuyang chuckled. This kid was quite capable; his business acumen was good.
It was a pity that his Chunyang Buqi Pills couldn't be completely revealed yet. Otherwise, they would definitely be more profitable than Hu Qijie's family's Black Jade Intermittent Cream.
At this moment, a young woman with a charming aura and a hot figure walked into the room. As soon as she entered, several people in the room started discussing:
"Isn't that Xu Qianqian from Xu's Pharmaceutical? Why is she here?"
"Heh, Hu Qijie's family business is doing so well now, and Hu Qijie is the only son. Hu Qijie is currently single, so many people have their eyes on him. This Xu Qianqian might have taken a liking to Hu Qijie."
"You shouldn't say that. Xu Qianqian's family business is much larger than the Hu family's. There are countless people pursuing Xu Qianqian, so it's very difficult for her to take a liking to Hu Qijie."
Xu Qianqian was wearing a mini-skirt, high heels, and had wavy, long hair. She looked very sexy.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang there, her eyes lit up. She walked up to Chen Jiuyang and said in a charming and enthusiastic voice, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Chen here. It's truly a pleasant surprise."
The eyes of the other people in the room were about to pop out. This Xu Qianqian was actually approaching a man proactively. Who was this young man?
Chen Jiuyang was also surprised, "You know me?"
Xu Qianqian giggled charmingly, "Who in Fengcheng's upper circles doesn't know Mr. Chen now?"
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "It's just empty fame, not worth mentioning."
Xu Qianqian said, "My Xu family is in the medicinal materials business and often interacts with martial artist families. Mr. Chen's reputation is not mere fame; it's something Mr. Chen has truly earned through his strength."
Chen Jiuyang said, "Miss Xu is too kind. Since we are all attending Qijie's gathering, we are all friends."
Xu Qianqian asked, "What's your relationship with Hu Qijie, Mr. Chen?"
"Friends," Chen Jiuyang replied, not elaborating further.
A moment later, Hu Qijie walked in, leading a handsome, well-dressed young man.
As soon as this handsome young man arrived, many people in the room swarmed around him.
"Isn't that Young Master Yang?"
"Young Master Yang, it's been quite some time since we've seen you."
"Young Master Yang, how have you been lately?"
The Young Master Yang, surrounded by everyone, approached Xu Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, why didn't you accept the birthday gift I sent you last time?"
The crowd's expressions became somewhat interesting. This Young Master Yang seemed to be Xu Qianqian's number one suitor.
Xu Qianqian said indifferently, "Yang Qian, we are not close. Your gift is too valuable, and I cannot accept it, so I had to return it."
"Also, we are not close, so don't call me Qianqian."
If it were anyone else, they would have been extremely embarrassed or turned and walked away.
This Yang Qian, however, smiled and said, "Qianqian, I've been pursuing you for over half a year, how can we not be close? Everyone in Fengcheng's social circles knows that I am sincere towards you."
Unexpectedly, Xu Qianqian then linked her arm with Chen Jiuyang's and said, "Yang Qian, I'm sorry, but I already have someone I admire."
Yang Qian's expression changed slightly as he saw Xu Qianqian's intimate posture with another man. He stared at Chen Jiuyang with ill intent, "I don't care who you are, you'd better be sensible and stay away from Qianqian, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Sensing the unfavorable atmosphere, Hu Qijie quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yang, this is my good brother, Chen Jiuyang. I invited him to dinner today as well."
"My brother and Miss Xu are probably meeting for the first time. Young Master Yang, please don't misunderstand."
"Jiuyang, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Yang, the son of the Chairman of the Fengcheng Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce. If you want to do major business in medicinal materials in Feng Province, you can't avoid Young Master Yang's family."
Yang Qian's expression softened slightly. He looked at Xu Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, since everyone has said this, don't joke around in front of everyone."
"What joke?" Xu Qianqian held Chen Jiuyang's arm and said, "I fell in love with Mr. Chen at first sight. Yang Qian, don't bother me anymore."
Yang Qian's face darkened, "Qianqian, are you serious?"
Xu Qianqian replied, "Do you think I, Xu Qianqian, would joke about something like this?"
Yang Qian pointed his finger at Chen Jiuyang and said sternly, "Chen, I'll give you five seconds to leave Qianqian's side and get out of here, or I'll make sure you regret it!"
Hu Qijie quickly blocked Yang Qian, smiling broadly, "Young Master Yang, please give me some face. Chen Jiuyang is my only good brother, and my brother already has a woman. He won't fight you for Miss Xu."
Yang Qian unceremoniously pushed Hu Qijie aside, "I don't care whose brother he is. Hu Qijie, I only came to your damn gathering because Qianqian was going to be here. But if Qianqian is going to mess around with someone else, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Slap—"
Chen Jiuyang directly slapped Yang Qian across the face and said calmly, "Young Master Yang, are you awake now?"
"You son of a bitch... you dare to hit me?" Yang Qian glared at Chen Jiuyang furiously.
"Slap—"
Chen Jiuyang slapped Yang Qian across the face again, "Young Master Yang, not everyone is your parents who have to indulge you. Are you awake now?"
Yang Qian's cheeks turned red, and he walked out of the private room with a grim expression, leaving behind a threat, "You just wait!"
Hu Qijie's expression turned unsightly, "Jiuyang, you've caused a big problem."
