Chapter 751: Chapter 751: I alone am an army of thousands!

“Alright, I’ll go and welcome Uncle right away.” Father Chu didn’t dare to delay.

This Uncle of his, who holds the position of General Director in the Binhai City Committee and who is also a standing committee member, is among the top ten individuals in Binhai City. Even in Ma City, he is a significant figure.

Huang Xiaolong looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a square face walking towards them with an air of authority.

Father Chu greeted him, whispering, “Uncle, you’ve arrived. Please, come sit over here.”

“Hmm.” Director Yan acknowledged with a slight nod, seemingly uninterested in Father Chu.

Director Yan handed over a birthday gift to Father Chu’s wife and gave a nod to Old Master Chu, who was seated in a high seat, aloud greeting, “I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea, and life as long as the South Mountain.”

“Director Yan, please have a seat,” Old Master Chu responded with a smile.

After sitting down, Director Yan nodded at Chu Hao, who was sitting nearby, and said, “Brother Chu, long time no see.”

“Ha ha ha~ Brother Yan, since you’re here, why not stay for a few days? Let’s have a drink together tomorrow.” A rare genuine smile appeared on Chu Hao’s face.

For him, the standing deputy mayor of Ma City, Director Yan was an official of the same rank.

After Director Yan had settled down, Father Chu’s wife said excitedly, “Now you can rest assured, right? Even if my brother is the only one to come, it’s enough to enhance your prestige.”

“Yes, yes, of course,” Father Chu hastily nodded in agreement.

At this time, the first wife snobbishly looked at Chu Tingting’s mother and sarcastically remarked, “Even thinking about marrying in! Take a look in the mirror. You have no family background and can’t bring any advantage to us… what’s the use of having you around?”

“You!” Mother Chu’s expression shifted slightly, but she managed to hold back her emotions, saying sorrowfully, “Yes… I’m useless.”

“Mom~~” Chu Tingting found it unbearable seeing her mother being humiliated. She shot a glare at the first wife, regretting not inviting some teachers from Binhai University on short notice, or even shamelessly inviting the principal over. With this, she could have saved her mother some face.

But right now, no guests had come specifically for her and her mother, thus they couldn’t rebuke the humiliation they had endured.

“Hehe~~ The General Director of the Municipal Party Committee? Is he that impressive? I wonder if there is a larger one, like the mayor.” Huang Xiaolong laughed lightly.

“Shut up! What are you saying?” Chu Huaisheng erupted in anger, yelling at Huang Xiaolong, “My uncle is a standing committeeman in Binhai. In Binhai, even the ground would shake three times under his feet. You making groundless accusations, questioning my uncle, it’s truly ignorance knows no fear! However, a bottom layer, insignificant person like you would certainly not understand how powerful my uncle is… Now, apologize to my uncle! Immediately!”

“Make sure to control this illegitimate boyfriend of yours! Does he think he’s got the rights to interject here?” the first wife spat venomously at Huang Xiaolong.

“Apologize? Why should I apologize?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh, “You demand apologies at the drop of a hat, tsk tsk, you actually believe that you’re superior to others?”

“Alright.” Director Yan glanced deeply at Huang Xiaolong, “No need to apologize. I won’t stoop to your level.”

Afterwards, Director Yan cast a knowing look at Chu Tingting and said, “You’re called Chu Tingting, right? You teach at the Binhai University Branch, right? Good, I’ve noted you down. I happen to have some acquaintance with Principal Zhou Yuewen of your college….”

The implication was hinting that he might make things difficult for Chu Tingting!

“Pfft~~~” Chu Huaiyin laughed gleefully at the misfortune.

“Uncle…This…Tingting…” Father Chu hurriedly pleaded on behalf of Chu Tingting.

“Enough, no need to say anymore. When you were pursuing that improper relationship years ago, did you think about my sister? Hmm… I know my bounds, you don’t need to say anything.” Director Yan said coldly.

“Tingting, don’t be afraid,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “I also know Principal Zhou Yuewen. He wouldn’t dare harm you.”

“With your appearance? You claim to know the principal of a university? Stop bragging,” Chu Huaisheng sneered.

“Is knowing Zhou Yuewen something very great? I don’t think he’s anything special. Not only do I know Zhou Yuewen, but I also know the dean of Binhai First People’s Hospital,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

“Ha ha ha ha~~~ Let me laugh for a moment…” Chu Huaiyin laughed heartily.

At this moment, more and more guests continued to make their way over.

They took their respective seats across various factions in the room.

Among them, Chu Hao’s branch naturally took the lead, whether in terms of the number of guests or their social status, firmly suppressing the other branches.

Chu Hao, with eyes on his nose and heart in mind, sat firmly as if he was on the Diaoyutai, exuding a demeanor that ordinary people couldn’t match.

On the high platform, Old Master Jing of the Jing family, whispered in Old Master Chu’s ear. “Old Man Chu, your Chu Hao is indeed extraordinary. In our Ma City, he is a powerful figure and in the prime of his life, I reckon it won’t be long before he takes the helm.”

“In these years, our Chu family has relied entirely on Chu Hao.” Old Master Chu smiled contentedly.

At this time, on the seat of Chu Tingting’s father’s branch, there were about ten people sitting, although not as prosperous as Chu Hao’s branch, with Director Yan there, it wouldn’t be too embarrassingly poor.

Chu’s father’s legal wife once again couldn’t help crossly ridiculing Chu Tingting’s mother and daughter. “So useless! Can’t even invite a single guest! Do you not see the old master’s birthday as important? Truly disappointing! One guest! If even one guest came for you, I wouldn’t have said a word today!”

Although the words of Chu’s father’s legal wife were indeed unpleasant to hear, Chu Tingting’s mother and daughter were extremely embarrassed.

Not a single guest came for them!

Indeed, quite a loss of face!

“What’s the meaning of others coming? As long as I’m here, it’s enough to give face to Old Master Chu.” Huang Xiaolong stated seriously.

“I can hardly stand your narcissism! Chu Tingting, where did you find this shameless thing? One person giving enough face to Grandpa, does he think he’s an army of an overlord, a nobleman? It’s simply ridiculous!” Chu Huaiyin exclaimed shrilly.

“Exactly, I am an army of one,” Huang Xiaolong nodded earnestly.

“If you continue to make such shameless and arrogant remarks, then, we, the Chu family, will not welcome you. Leave immediately!” Chu Huaisheng also looked at Huang Xiaolong coldly.

Just then–

“The First Peoples Hospital of Binhai City, Dean Ma is here!”

“Binhai City Binhai University branch, Principal Zhou is here!”

…

“Uncle! These people came for your reputation, right?” Chu Huaiyin and Chu Huaisheng’s eyes lit up.

“Hehe~~Old Zhou and Old Ma…I don’t know where they heard about my visit to Ma City.” Director Yan said somewhat proudly. “Their intentions are well noted, I remember this favor.”

Keep in mind, the dean of a top hospital and the principal of a higher education institution holds high societal status.

In one’s life, it is best to have three friends–a teacher, a police officer, a doctor.

This shows that in people’s daily lives–education, healthcare, and personal safety, are three crucial areas.

Now that a principal and a dean have come, they are far more impressive than ordinary doctors and teachers.

Even Director Yan wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous when facing Principal Zhou and Dean Ma. Who can guarantee they won’t fall ill or that their children won’t go to school?

There will always be a day when you need someone’s help!

Even Chu Hao couldn’t help but glance at Director Yan, thinking, ‘Hmm, is this Director Yan trying to support my younger brother’s branch and fight for face? Hehe~~interesting, but his connections are in Binhai, and even if some high-level people from Binhai come, they can’t suppress me, the local snake.’

“Uncle, please let the Dean of the First People’s Hospital know after a while, I want to work at the First People’s Hospital after graduation!” Chu Huaiyin pleaded coquettishly.

“Hahahaha~~~Huaiyin, I have your job in mind.” Director Yan stood up, saying proudly. “I’ll go greet Old Zhou and Old Ma!”

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong saw his old acquaintances, Principal Zhou Yuewen and Dean Ma, each carrying gifts, striding towards him.

They were staring straight at Huang Xiaolong!

“Hahaha~~Old Zhou, Old Ma, this way!” Director Yan strode forward.
