Chapter 393 Am I Mistaken?
Chen Xuan was taken aback. Could it be that Divine Doctor Lu knew Bai Shaofei?
Divine Doctor Lu turned to look at Bai Shaofei, his tone indifferent, with a hint of unquestionable authority. "Young Master Bai, this Mr. Chen is my friend. Let's leave it at that."
"What? This bumpkin from Jiangzhou is Divine Doctor Lu's friend? Divine Doctor Lu, are you mistaken?"
Bai Shaofei was also stunned, somewhat surprised.
"Bumpkin?"
Divine Doctor Lu's gaze turned cold. "I'll say it again, Mr. Chen is my friend, Lu Chengfu! Apologize to Mr. Chen immediately! Not only that, but compensate for the damage caused here!"
"You want me to apologize to him?" Bai Shaofei found it hard to believe.
"Oh? Should I call your father?" Divine Doctor Lu said coldly, already taking out his phone.
Bai Shaofei's expression turned unsightly.
Bai Shaofei's father, the branch president of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, had repeatedly warned him not to offend Divine Doctor Lu, stating that such a person should be well-respected. If Divine Doctor Lu made a call, he would likely be skinned alive upon returning home.
"I'll apologize and compensate immediately!"
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry!"
Bai Shaofei immediately apologized to Chen Xuan and respectfully handed him a check for two hundred thousand, then, with a grim expression, hastily left with his men.
No one had expected such an outcome.
The hall fell silent.
Chen Xuan placed the two hundred thousand check in front of Yang Chaotian.
Yang Chaotian looked at the check in his hand, speechless for a long time, feeling somewhat emotional.
This two hundred thousand was the only income for the provincial branch of Xuanji Hall in recent times!
He looked at Chen Xuan again. This time, he had probably misjudged Chen Xuan.
Zheng Hai and the others were too shocked to speak.
Not only did he break the limbs of General Qiongqi, but he also made Bai Shaofei apologize. This was too formidable!
"Keep it safe!" Chen Xuan reminded him.
Yang Chaotian finally snapped out of his shock and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Brother Chen Xuan is amazing! Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also has extensive connections, even knowing Divine Doctor Lu. I'm impressed, truly impressed! I underestimated you earlier, Brother Chen Xuan! The provincial branch of Xuanji Hall is about to rise!"
Chen Xuan nodded faintly and looked at Zheng Hai and the others standing there. "Why haven't you left yet? Your flight tickets will expire."
"So be it if they expire."
Zheng Hai chuckled sheepishly, "Hall Master Chen, I'm a man of my word. I'd like to stay with the provincial branch of Xuanji Hall! We're willing to work for free for three years!"
The others also expressed their desire to stay.
Previously, Xuanji Hall had been bullied to the point of hiding, but with Chen Xuan's arrival, even the most powerful White Dragon Chamber of Commerce had backed down. Following Chen Xuan would surely lead to advancement.
Chen Xuan waved his hand. "I'm truly sorry, I've changed my mind. Xuanji Hall does not accept anyone without loyalty. It's not that difficult to recruit people anyway."
"Ah?"
Zheng Hai's face turned ashen, and the others also looked displeased.
They finally understood the saying: When I was poor, you ignored me; when I prosper, you can't even afford to reach me.
No matter how much Zheng Hai and the others pleaded, Chen Xuan refused. Helpless, they could only rush to catch their flights.
Yang Chaotian felt a pang of sympathy. He quickly stepped in front of Chen Xuan and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, please give them a chance. They are actually loyal to Xuanji Hall and love it dearly. You must remember that out of over a hundred brothers in Xuanji Hall, only they persisted with me to the end."
"Their arms and legs were broken, and they still have many injuries. They were just utterly disappointed, which is why they chose to leave."
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Yang Chaotian. "Really?"
"Brother Chen Xuan, it's absolutely true. If I've told a single lie, may I be struck by lightning." Yang Chaotian quickly raised his hand to swear.
Chen Xuan glanced at Yang Chaotian. "Alright, then let them stay!"
"Thank you for letting them stay."
Yang Chaotian quickly apologized.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Amidst their heartfelt gratitude, Chen Xuan agreed to let them stay. However, their salaries would be withheld for three years. They would receive a bonus each month, and if the development was good, there would be substantial bonuses monthly.
Chen Xuan simply instructed Yang Chaotian, "Old Yang, I have two things for you to handle next."
"Brother Chen Xuan, no, Hall Master Chen, please command me." Yang Chaotian looked at Chen Xuan with a touch more respect.
"First, you will immediately go and cancel that film and television company and display the Xuanji Hall signboard." Chen Xuan extended a finger.
"Yes!"
Yang Chaotian blushed slightly.
The film and television entertainment company was indeed not presentable. If it were to spread to Jiangzhou, he would be laughed to death.
"Second, start arranging personnel immediately to recruit people for Xuanji Hall." Chen Xuan extended his second finger.
"As you command!" Yang Chaotian declared.
After giving all instructions and leaving his phone number for Yang Chaotian, Chen Xuan turned and left Xuanji Hall.
"How is this new Hall Master so powerful?"
"He's probably a formidable figure; we all underestimated him!"
"Yes, he's definitely a ruthless individual."
After Chen Xuan left, a group of people, under Yang Chaotian's arrangement, began tidying up the damaged property, preparing to reopen for business. As they worked, they chatted, with the new person in charge, Chen Xuan, being the natural topic of conversation.
Yang Chaotian breathed a sigh of relief. With Chen Xuan, it seemed they could at least get through these three months.
As Chen Xuan walked outside, he saw that Divine Doctor Lu had not yet left and was speaking with Bai Shaofei.
"Divine Doctor Lu, you must come."
Bai Shaofei looked at Divine Doctor Lu, his face anxious.
"I have some matters to attend to. We can talk tomorrow." Divine Doctor Lu sounded impatient and his gaze swept towards the entrance of Xuanji Hall, as if waiting for someone.
"My father's illness can only be treated by you. He'll likely be in pain all night tonight. If you don't go, how can I explain it?"
"He's not going to die anyway. Go back. If your father asks, you can explain it yourself." Divine Doctor Lu pouted.
Bai Shaofei felt awkward. If his father knew that his subordinate had offended Divine Doctor Lu, he would surely give him a good lashing with a whip and a meat cleaver. He dared not speak the truth.
Just as Bai Shaofei was about to say something, Divine Doctor Lu saw Chen Xuan walking out. His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he scurried away.
Bai Shaofei looked back and saw Divine Doctor Lu standing before Chen Xuan like a subservient grandson.
He squinted and stared at Chen Xuan.
What was this kid's identity that made Divine Doctor Lu so eager to curry favor?
"It's all this kid's fault!"
A trace of venom flashed across Bai Shaofei's face, then he turned and left.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Chen Xuan frowned, looking at Divine Doctor Lu.
"Mr. Chen, I was waiting for you," Divine Doctor Lu chuckled, a far cry from his earlier aloofness.
"Waiting for me? What for?"
"Didn't you promise to take over my medical clinic? When you have time, I'll arrange for someone to handle the procedures for you," Divine Doctor Lu said with a smile.
"Tomorrow!" Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Now that he was in the provincial city, Chen Xuan was also planning to establish some of his own businesses. A medical clinic seemed like a good option.
Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Lu was as happy as if it were New Year, and there was no hint of pain on his old face.
