Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 842 - 834: Trading Men (Part 9)

She kept babbling nonstop, and Ji Chicheng stopped in his tracks, raising an eyebrow at Assistant Wu, "Assistant Wu, can’t you see I’m annoyed?"

Assistant Wu didn’t dare to delay for a moment and immediately walked up to Xin Xiaoxiao, nodding at her, "Miss Xin, you are a core member of Hairui, please return to your work station quickly."

As an old hand at handling trouble, courtesy before force was his trick.

People like Xin Xiaoxiao might seem chatty and carefree on the surface but they really do understand limits.

She knew Ji Chicheng had reached his limit, so she took the hint from Assistant Wu and stepped down graciously.

"Uncle indeed has a good eye, noticing that I am the core of Hairui."

She righteously puffed up her chest and then patted Assistant Wu on the shoulder, raising her eyebrow at him, "Uncle, I have high hopes for you."

Assistant Wu: "..."

Listening to the fading footsteps of Xin Xiaoxiao, Assistant Wu paused for a moment, then shook his head amusedly, "Miss Xin sure is interesting."

Ji Chicheng glanced at him, "Are you thinking about getting remarried?"

Assistant Wu’s face turned red, and he couldn’t help but his lips twitch.

Young Master, your joke is really not funny at all.

Ji Chicheng strode into the center of the banquet hall, dressed in a sharp suit and standing over six feet tall, as soon as he joined the crowd, the other men paled in comparison and became mere background.

"Young Master Ji, it’s really rare to see you."

"Pleased to meet you."

Many people, holding their glasses, came forward to greet Ji Chicheng.

Actually, he seldom appeared in public, but he had been frequently appearing in headline news recently, due to the rumors of a homosexual relationship with Qi Helian a few months ago, and his publicized relationship with Ji Anning just a short time ago.

But for many people, this was their first time seeing him in person, so most of them guessed his identity through their familiarity with Assistant Wu, who had worked with his grandfather for decades.

"Young Master, this is President Mao from R Group."

"This is President Jiang from XX Group."

"This is..."

Assistant Wu introduced one by one the people coming up to greet Ji Chicheng, some of whom Ji Chicheng knew, and some he had no recollection of.

After all, they were all somewhat well-known figures in the business world.

Wherever Assistant Wu introduced him, Ji Chicheng would glance at that person as a form of greeting.

His expression remained naturally indifferent.

As for Ji Chicheng, everyone had only heard about him and knew how arrogant he was, but they were not familiar with him at all; everyone was just chatting with Assistant Wu with the hope that he would facilitate connections.

"It’s said that the Fuxing project with Hairui was handled by Young Master Ji, quite surprising indeed."

"Not to mention the project approval document, even acquiring that plot of land must have been no easy task, right?"

"Yes, it was all managed single-handedly by our Young Master," Assistant Wu nodded, praising Ji Chicheng while staying modest, "So far, it has been going smoothly."

Upon hearing this, a few people began to view Ji Chicheng in a new light.

"It’s truly the younger generation surpassing the old."

"I had heard that he started his own business as a teenager; the reputation of a great leader is indeed well-deserved."

Ji Chicheng, hands in his pockets, listened to this group sing his praises and genuinely found it boring; he looked around aimlessly.

Finally, when Assistant Wu managed to hustle the group away, they continued walking forward.

"Is this how the old man used to do it?"

While the two were walking along, Ji Chicheng glanced at Assistant Wu and asked this question.
