Chapter 75: My youngest son and your granddaughter

Chapter 75

Lu Kaixuan, the host of this banquet, was the most troubled.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and tried to smooth things over: "After all, it's just a small conflict between children. Why don't we sit down and talk it through calmly?"

Qin Sui and Wei Zesheng were, in the end, still juniors.

And Mr. Mu's secretary was, after all, just a secretary.

As long as the matter didn't escalate and involve all the families, the situation was still within his control.

Otherwise... this banquet would end up offending the Mu family, Wei family, Qin family, and possibly even the Sheng family...

"Standing here arguing is not appropriate," Qin Sui was the first to respond. He paused, then said, "Let's clear the room."

Hearing this, Lu Kaixuan nodded inwardly.

This son of the Qin family was truly impressive. At such a young age, he already had his father's demeanor and could command the situation.

As soon as the order to clear the room was given, the small hall was emptied in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few of them.

Wei Zesheng spoke to the secretary in a deep voice, "It seems you can't make this decision. Call your Mr. Mu."

Qin Sui couldn't be allowed to say this first.

Otherwise, it would fail Brother Sheng's instructions.

Wei Lin saw the tense atmosphere and felt uneasy.

Why make such a big fuss?

These two young masters might feel satisfied, but wouldn't their families have to clean up the mess in the end?

The old man hadn't been involved in affairs for a long time, which meant everything would fall on his shoulders.

"Thank you both for your concern about Little Duck. I am Little Duck's temporary guardian. Why don't we let Little Duck explain the situation in detail first? This might prevent any misunderstandings," Wei Lin interjected.

Wei Wenjuan sneered, "I'm not dead yet. How dare you claim to be Little Duck's guardian?"

Wei Lin wore an expression of helplessness but didn't say anything more.

After all, he was just putting on an act. When the time came, Mr. Mu would know that he had tried to intervene, but was simply unable to stop it.

The secretary didn't hesitate any longer and turned to make the call.

"What? Is he seriously injured?" Mu Rongfeng was surprised when he received the call. His secretary was usually quite capable, how could he not handle this?

The secretary lowered his voice: "The little girl who fought with the young master..."

"Yes, Mr. Lu mentioned on the phone. She's the child recently found by the Overseas Chinese Wei Family. The old Mr. Wei doesn't handle affairs anymore, so the one attending the banquet today should be his godson, Wei Lin. I've heard a bit about Wei Lin; he's good at smoothing things over without offending anyone," Mu Rongfeng, though not present at the scene, seemed to understand the situation well.

"What? Has Wei Lin become aggressive today?" Mu Rongfeng frowned.

"It's not him. It's... Qin Sui and Wei Zesheng. They're defending that girl and demanding an explanation from us."

Hearing this, Mu Rongfeng instinctively looked up at the clock on the wall. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

The second hand wasn't moving backward.

The world was still normal.

"This is the first time I've heard these two names together..."

"Yes, that's why I called you. Could this be..." the secretary lowered his voice even more, "some kind of signal?"

The manager smiled awkwardly: "It's alright, I'll call back later."

But Wei Xuanming seemed to have some insight and said, "Some calls, you think aren't important, but if you miss them, you've missed them forever. You'll regret it for life and never be able to make up for it... Answer it."

Since Wei Xuanming had said so, the manager didn't hold back and immediately answered the phone.

Half a minute later, he looked at Wei Xuanming with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Wei, this call... is for you."

"Oh?"

"The CEO of Wanwu Interconnected, Mr. Mu, is looking for you. He says it's very important. Apparently, his youngest son and your granddaughter have gotten into a fight, and now the situation is a bit out of control."

Wei Xuanming's previously lazy expression changed.

He sat up straight: "The CEO of Wanwu Interconnected? His youngest son? And my... granddaughter?"

Wei Xuanming heard each word clearly, but when put together, he couldn't quite understand.

"Where did I get a granddaughter from?" Wei Xuanming found it amusing.

This sounded like a scam call.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was a legitimate holder of a Chinese Taoist priest certificate, he would have already thrown him out.

"But, but Mr. Mu has no reason to lie," the Taoist priest was determined to secure his niece's future.

Wei Xuanming was silent for a moment, then said to a servant nearby, "Bring me the phone."

He called his old friend: "I remember you have some contact with the CEO of Wanwu Interconnected."

"Yes, I do..."

"Give me his number."

The friend on the other end was startled: "Have you finally changed your mind? Are you coming out of retirement? But what connection could your business have with Wanwu Interconnected?"

"Just a small matter," Wei Xuanming brushed it off lightly.

Then he personally dialed Mu Rongfeng, opening with: "This is Wei Xuanming."

"Mr. Wei, let's meet," Mu Rongfeng was equally direct.

"Your youngest son got into a fight with my granddaughter?" Wei Xuanming now just wanted to confirm this one thing.

"Yes."

"What location? What time?" Wei Xuanming asked concisely.

"Jin City Huadao Hotel banquet hall, right now."

Wei Xuanming hung up the phone and stood up: "Bring me my cane, prepare the car immediately."

Meanwhile.

Mu Rongfeng said, "That junior employee doesn't need to go through the probation period. Transfer him to the secretarial department. He knows how to utilize all available resources, he's a smart one."

The assistant responded, "Yes, Mr. Mu."

The junior employee soon received news of his promotion and raise.

His colleagues were all dumbfounded.

Damn, this works too? Why couldn't my uncle be a Taoist priest?
