Chapter 375 Being Mistaken for a Person from a Hidden Family
The person curled his lip, "Dude, stop pretending. Don't tell me you're not here to make connections with the second-generation elites attending this gathering. Are you planning to stand guard here, or are you thinking of forcing your way in? Just a heads up, though, take it easy and don't try to force your way through. If you offend any of the big shots inside, your life is over."
At this point, Xu Yang finally understood.
The guy actually thought he was there to schmooze with the second-generation elites.
He shook his head, didn't try to explain, but instead pulled out his phone and swiped across the screen a few times to use the electronic invitation that Jiang Yuheng had sent him.
With a click, the grand gates of the manor slowly opened.
Seeing this, all the people at the entrance were stunned.
It wasn't until Xu Yang walked in and the manor's grand gates slowly closed behind him that the crowd came back to their senses.
Shortly after, the murmurs began again.
"Fuck, why didn't I think of that!"
"Think of what?"
"That kid just now must be a service staff member for the estate party. Damn, if he could serve those rich second-generation brats, just getting in with one could shoot him to the top."
"Impossible, that guy isn't part of the party's service staff."
"How do you know?"
"Doesn't he look a bit familiar to you guys? Don't you think?"
"Familiar? Not really."
"I also think he looks familiar, just can't remember who."
"Now that you mention it, I know who he is!"
"Who?"
"He is the boss of Jiang Di Lao, Xu Yang! Yes, it's him, I've seen his picture online, just didn't expect him to be here, and he seems different in person than in his photos, looks even handsomer, that's why I didn't recognize him."
"I remember now too, it's him, I've seen his photos as well."
"My god, so he's attending this gathering as well."
"What's so shocking about that? He's a proper billionaire, even mightier than many of the rich second generations."
"True, Xu Yang is self-made, my idol!"
"Even if Xu Yang is a self-made billionaire, he's nothing special at this gathering. Let me tell you, these children of noble families are the real deal."
"True, I've heard about that too. At this gathering, even Wang Xiaocong is no big deal; it's those children of noble families who are the most influential."
...
When Xu Yang walked into the manor, he saw many young men and women on the lawn.
These people were all top-tier young elites from within the province, including both rich second generations and children of noble families.
Any of these people, taken out alone, could surpass Jiang Yuheng.
Their clothes and jewelry were all from the world's top luxury brands.
They wouldn't feel comfortable greeting others if their outfit didn't cost at least half a million.
Xu Yang didn't know anyone here, so after scanning the room, not seeing Jiang Yuheng, he pulled out his phone to call him.
Soon, the call connected.
Jiang Yuheng's voice came through, "Xu Yang, have you arrived?"
Xu Yang said, "Yes, I'm here, just walked in. Where are you?"
Jiang Yuheng said, "I'm at building one, the one right in front of the manor entrance. Come over, I'll come to the door to meet you."
"Okay." Xu Yang hung up the phone, and he headed to the entrance of that building.
Jiang Yuheng came out just in time to meet him; seeing Xu Yang, he smiled and said, "Xu Yang, you finally made it. Now that you're here, I can chat with you more and feel a little less pressured."
Xu Yang was somewhat speechless, "Is it really that bad?"
Jiang Yuheng said seriously, "You may not believe it, but it's true. Most of the people here are descendants of noble families. We second-generation rich are at the bottom. Our Fengcheng is a burgeoning city, and although it's developed economically, it doesn't have noble families. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my turn to attend this gathering.
Only cities without noble families would have rich kids like me attending. In other cities that do have noble families, it's usually their scions who attend these gatherings. Of course, there are some rich second-generation who swallow their pride to expand their networks."
Xu Yang said helplessly, "Alright, in this case, I can't really help you. I'm mainly here this time to get to know the granddaughter of the old Master Fang you mentioned. Have you seen her?"
"Not yet," Jiang Yuheng shook his head, then added, "I asked around, and it seems she hasn't arrived. But she will definitely show up when it's time to donate money at the end. I wouldn't dare try to meet her rashly, this is something you'll have to do yourself. I'm afraid I'd just mess it up."
Xu Yang nodded, "No worries, I'll take the initiative to meet her when the time comes."
Jiang Yuheng said, "Let's go, let's go inside."
Upon entering,
they heard some murmuring.
"You know about Changsheng Furniture going bankrupt a while ago, right?"
"Of course. It was big news. Every TV station and online media was reporting it."
"Seriously, Yang Xin Investment is really impressive. It took down a hundred-billion group in just one day."
"The boss of Yang Xin Investment is also the boss of 'Jiang Dredge.' Talking of which, I really want to meet this person."
"What's so great about the boss of Yang Xin Investment? Did you get wind of what happened in Fengcheng recently?"
"What happened in Fengcheng?"
"Heh, you haven't heard? Let me tell you, a lot of tycoons from Fengcheng got together to fight a mysterious big shot, and they ended up totally wiped out. All their companies went bankrupt, and all their dirty laundry was aired, resulting in them all getting arrested. I heard that this mysterious big shot is from a hidden noble family."
"Hiss… Did someone from a hidden noble family really take action?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"According to the information I got, absolutely. Otherwise, there's no way they could have had the power to take down so many rich people!"
…
Listening to these murmurs, Xu Yang's expression turned odd.
Both incidents were his doing.
What he didn't expect was that, since the news about Fengcheng was blocked, only those directly involved knew about it.
Unexpectedly, he was now being mistaken for a mysterious big shot from a hidden noble family.
As one of the informed, Jiang Yuheng couldn't help but poke Xu Yang's arm and whispered, "Xu Yang, someone's mistaking you for a person from a hidden noble family."
Xu Yang just shook his head and smiled, not saying anything.
Jiang Yuheng's eyes rolled, "Xu Yang, shall we spread the word? If we do, these people will definitely stop underestimating us."
Xu Yang shook his head, "Let's not. I don't want to draw attention. Honestly, when I was dealing with Changsheng Furniture, I wouldn't have let it be known if I hadn't needed to deter others to avoid future trouble. I wouldn't have declared war."
Jiang Yuheng could only say, "Alright then."
At that moment, a young man approached them.
The young man's gaze fell on Jiang Yuheng, a playful smile on his face.
Jiang Yuheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The young man was Pan Junbin.
Not all descendants of noble families look down on people.
Some are quite amiable and even befriend rich second-generations.
However, Pan Junbin was the kind of noble scion who despised the second-generation rich.
Pan Junbin was from a minor noble family in the provincial city and was also the son of the Family Head.
The Pan Family had wanted to expand into Fengcheng since it's an emerging city with many opportunities.
Even noble families need to make money, especially smaller ones like the Pan Family.
But the company the Pan Family opened in Fengcheng had some regulatory issues, and it was shut down by Fengcheng's city government.
