Chapter 3952: 3971: Fearless Backing
Capítulo 3952: Chapter 3971: Fearless BackingThe grand banquet hall was lavishly decorated, even the casual wall adornments were worth a fortune.
After verifying the invitation at the entrance, Lin Chen walked into the reception venue with Chu Jiaxue.
Chu Jiaxue glanced around and whispered, “Quite a number of people here.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Who cares, let’s find a place to sit.”
As newcomers to Jinghai City, neither Lin Chen nor Chu Jiaxue knew anyone, so naturally, there were no acquaintances to chat with.
Although quite a few people noticed the pair walking in, no one came over to greet them, since no one knew them.
Unconcerned, Lin Chen found a relatively quiet spot with Chu Jiaxue, grabbed a glass of champagne each, and sat down.
“What’s the theme tonight?”
Lin Chen shook his head, “Don’t know, didn’t ask.”
Chu Jiaxue chuckled lightly, “Do you think we look like bumpkins coming to town?”
Lin Chen chuckled, replying, “Not so bad, let’s wait. Secretary Bai must have something planned, otherwise, there’s no need to invite us.”
The two leisurely sat to the side chatting, after about ten minutes, a few people entered through the door, led by a middle-aged couple dressed in opulent attire with remarkable attires, followed by a young man and woman.
“Huh, what a coincidence, meeting again.”
Lin Chen raised his chin, gesturing for Chu Jiaxue to look towards the entrance.
The young man and woman were none other than Chen Bin and his female companion encountered today at the formal dress shop, her outfit was the dress purchased today.
The middle-aged couple entered the hall, and many greeted them warmly, showcasing that the couple indeed had quite an identity.
Following behind, Chen Bin glanced around and suddenly froze.
He saw Lin Chen sitting on one side, slightly frowning, stepped forward, and whispered a few words into the middle-aged man’s ear.
The middle-aged man paused in his steps, then turned to glance at Lin Chen’s direction, peacefully turning back and said a few words to Chen Bin.
Chen Bin walked straight with his companion to Lin Chen, “Mr. Lin, life surely brings unplanned encounters, running into each other during the daytime and again this evening, it’s fate.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Indeed, being new arrivals, we didn’t even have formal dresses. Made use of daytime to quickly buy a couple of sets, looks like you are in a similar situation.”
Chen Bin smiled, “Yes, I also bought a dress for her, all the same. By the way, Mr. Chen, may I ask where you got your invitation from?”
Lin Chen smiled slightly, “I received the invitation from Secretary Bai at the City Hall.”
Chen Bin’s gaze changed slightly, his expression a bit dark, “Secretary Bai?”
Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, Secretary Bai said that tonight’s reception gathered esteemed figures from all walks of life, asked me to come mingle since my new company just started, many people don’t know.”
Chen Bin’s gaze suddenly filled with some uncertainty: “Sounds like Mr. Chen has a good relationship with Secretary Bai?”
Lin Chen said with a smile, “Not bad, had a meal with Lord Mo and Secretary Bai before, asked them for advice on entrepreneurship, they gave me some suggestions, hence the current Chenxing Logistics.”
“New company, doesn’t have much business yet, relying entirely on Lord Mo’s care, got some orders from City Hall to start with, making ends meet for now, will expand business slowly.”
Chen Bin looked surprised, this kid not only is familiar with Secretary Bai but also has a connection with Lord Mo?
Chen Bin looked at Lin Chen’s smiling face and suddenly came back to his senses.
They don’t ignore the logistics being the Chen Family’s industry?
They know but don’t care!
Because they have the City Lord as backing, with nothing to fear!
Chen Bi’s heart roared, but his face remained unchanged with a smile, “Mr. Chen surely is capable, haven’t been in the Federation long, not only restored freedom but also received the City Lord’s attention…”
Lin Chen modestly said with a laugh, “Just luck, the City Lord also lamented the heavy losses from the previous failure escort against Skull Bandits, so she supported me in establishing this Time-Space Logistics, which can greatly save transportation costs and time while mitigating risks, a benefit for everyone.”
Making money while benefiting everyone!
Chen Bin secretly cursed, feeling very unhappy.
Originally thought Lin Chen was just reckless, thinking some strength could randomly start a company, competing others’ business, now realized he was entirely prepared.
Chen Bin dryly laughed, “Brother Lin surely is capable, many yearn to connect with the City Lord but fail, and yet being new here, Brother Lin received the City Lord’s attention. May I ask, Brother Lin, how did you manage this, teach me a thing or two?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I didn’t do anything, maybe the City Lord feels this new logistics can benefit Jinghai City, as the City Lord, naturally she needs to support a little.”
“Lord Mo truly is beyond compare, not a hint of airs, easy to get along with, doesn’t belittle me for being a Lost Ball immigrant, sincerely working for the benefit of the people, I truly admire her!”
Seriously?
No airs from the City Lord?
Easy to get along with?
Who doesn’t know Mo Shuyan comes from the military, with rigorous style, known for her commanding presence and difficult accessibility, is this really the Lord Mo you interacted with?
Why does it all sound like someone different?
As Chen Bin tried to probe further, the crowd suddenly buzzed.
Lin Chen and the others turned to see Mo Shuyan and Secretary Bai walking in one after the other.
As the City Lord of Jinghai City, she is undoubtedly the most influential person, wherever she went, everyone greeted her with warm smiles and respectful expressions.
Mo Shuyan was soon surrounded, Secretary Bai glanced around, her gaze locked onto Lin Chen, walking straight over.
Lin Chen stood up and said with a smile, “Secretary Bai.”
Secretary Bai sized up Lin Chen in his suit and said with a smile, “Looking quite handsome.”
Lin Chen smiled, “Thank you for the compliment, let me introduce, this is my wife Chu Jiaxue, also the actual head of Chenxing Logistics.”
Secretary Bai extended her hand to shake with Chu Jiaxue, smiled, “Miss Chu, nice to meet you, Lin Chen spoke of your story, this supportive love journey truly enviable.”
Chu Jiaxue said with a smile, “Secretary Bai’s praise is too much, we are new arrivals, starting everything from scratch, hope you’ll care for us more in the future.”
Secretary Bai chuckled lightly, “Later the City Lord will speak, she will mention Chenxing Logistics, giving you some advertisement, as for the future, it’s up to your own efforts.”
Lin Chen was surprised, “Would this bring trouble to Lord Mo?”
Secretary Bai answered, “Your new Time-Space Logistics can effectively mitigate various risks, indirectly cutting off the Bandits’ income source, it aids in deterring bandits to a certain extent.”
“Imagine if all long-distance transport switched to Time-Space Logistics, where’d living at the Wasteland bandits have to rob? Eventually, who’d still want to be a bandit?”
