But just after she said those words, Mao Jinxi's expression suddenly changed, and she said, "You're talking about Young Master Xu? Is it that Xu Hao?"
Xin Peixian looked bewildered. He only knew that Xu Hao was called Young Master Xu, but he really didn't know Xu Hao's full name. He helplessly shook his head and said, "I don't know. Why are you asking this? Do you know Young Master Xu? If so, that makes things easy. Please let me pass. If I'm late, Young Master Xu might get upset, and that wouldn't be good."
Mao Jinxi snorted coldly, "If it really is that little punk Xu Hao, then I have even more reason to stop you. No matter what you're going there for, I have to stop you. No offense, but I just want to bother that little punk Xu Hao!"
Young Master Wu was surprised at how deep Mao Jinxi's hatred for Xu Hao seemed to be. What on earth had Xu Hao done to Mao Jinxi to make her hate him so much?
However, he also felt somewhat relieved. Thank heavens that because of Xu Hao, the Sun Family had canceled the cooperation with Mao Jinxi, or else, it would have been awkward for him to work with Mao Jinxi.
Although the Wu Family was the leader of the Four Great Families, their influence in the business world was not as great as that of the Sun Family.
And the Mao Family was the wealthiest family in all of Jiangnan, with an unparalleled influence in the business world. That's why they had initially chosen to ally with the Sun Family.
But with the alliance plan with the Sun Family falling through, Mao Jinxi had no choice but to seek alternatives, initiating a strategic shift and starting to unite with the Wu Family, which also led to his acquaintance with Mao Jinxi.
All things considered, he even felt somewhat thankful to Xu Hao.
Xin Peixian was confused by Mao Jinxi's almost unreasonable words. What on earth did Young Master Xu do to her? Why did she hate Young Master Xu so much?
Could it be that Young Master Xu stole his wife?
Just then, a voice came from the banquet hall, "Mao Jinxi, you're quite bold, daring to block my man?"
Xin Peixian was excited and quickly looked towards the source of the voice.
After Sun Decong led Xu Hao and the others into the banquet hall, it immediately caused quite a stir.
Xu Hao was no obscure figure in Huadu. His last visit to Huadu and his battle with Tang Batian had caused a great sensation. Although those of slightly lower status didn't have the privilege to know about this, who among the guests sitting at the first table was not a notable figure in Huadu?
All eleven Family Heads knew of him, as did a few other big shots like Chen Hai.
Therefore, when Xu Hao reappeared, many furrowed their brows. Why had this scourge come?
Everyone was aware of Xu Hao's strength. With the older generation not taking action, and the reclusive noble families not showing themselves, Xu Hao was an invincible force; as a result, not many wanted to have a conflict with Xu Hao.
Chen Hai saw Xu Hao and was the first to stand up, warmly saying, "Little Brother Xu has arrived! I knew it, Sun Decong must have gone to pick someone up just now, and it turned out to be Xu Xiao You. That old guy didn't even tell me, or I would definitely have gone to welcome you too."
Xu Hao laughed, "Uncle Chen is too kind. After all, I am a junior. Having the Patriarch of the Sun Family come to receive me has already amazed me. If you had also come, I truly wouldn't have been able to bear the honor."
Xu Hao spoke neither humbly nor haughtily. Although he referred to himself as a junior, all the big shots present knew that despite appearing amiable, he was ruthless in a fight, so no one dared to take Xu Hao lightly.
Xu Hao exchanged pleasantries with a few Family Heads. At this moment, Chen Hai introduced, "Xu Xiao You, this here is Mr. Li Chenggong from Hongkong. His family is one of the Top Ten Families in Hongkong, and Mr. Li is the Family Head of the Hongkong Li Family. The Li Family controls a full one-third of Hongkong's entertainment industry resources. Mr. Li has come to Tiannan to discuss the development of an entertainment base here. My daughter is endorsing a product for Xu Xiao You's company, and I think she would be interested in this entertainment base as well."
Li Chenggong was an elderly man with silver hair, solemn and not given to smiling. Upon hearing Chen Hai's introduction, he too slowly stood up and said, "Xu Xiao You, greetings."
He stood up not to give face to Xu Hao, but to show respect for Chen Hai. After all, if he wanted to enter the entertainment industry in Tiannan, it was essential to establish a good relationship with Chen Hai, the top local magnate.
But he also paid some mind to Xu Hao. Chen Hai was obviously very enthusiastic about Xu Hao, and his daughter had become a spokesperson for Xu Hao's company. Could this mean...? The latest chapters are uploaded first on *.
A light sparked in Li Chenggong's eyes as he felt he might be onto something.
Xu Hao, noticing Li Chenggong's lukewarm attitude, didn't mind. After all, he had no direct dealings with him.
Xu Hao found a place and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard commotion from outside.
With his exceptionally keen hearing, Xu Hao quickly identified who it was.
He snorted, "This Mao Jinxi really is a persistent pest! Looks like the kid is tired of living."
"Mao Jinxi? Is he from the Jiangnan Mao Family?" asked Chen Hai.
Xu Hao nodded slightly.
Chen Hai hesitated for a moment before saying earnestly, "Xu Xiao You, the Mao Family is no simple matter. If possible, it's best to avoid offending them."
