Chapter 432: Don’t Be So Full Of Yourselves

“That said, barely anyone saw his true face. Could he be very ugly, and so had no guts to show his face?”

“We are all people of business in Jianchuan. What is there to hide?”

“Didn’t they humiliate Huang Yao just a few days ago?”

Across the venue, everyone was presenting their theories about the CEO of Zhongteng. One could see that the level of mystery was grasping everyone by hearts and minds.

But the more they guessed, would their eyes not belong only to Sheng Xiao the later he arrived?

Soon, a Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up by the entrance of the hall.

Sheng Xiao stepped out, wearing a flaxen-hued vintage tuxedo, and led Mu Qiqi who was wearing a starry-night gown into the hall.

“Am I seeing things right? Why does it look like Sheng Xiao is coming in here?”

“I think I see it too. Is that really him?”

It was the same man who once called the shots, but was rumored to be down and out after a woman ruined him. So why did he show up at such a grand business gathering today?

And look at how marvelous he was—in what way was he down and out?

Everyone in the venue watched as Sheng Xiao led Mu Qiqi and Xu Che inside the hall.

Of course, the noble guests seemed unable to connect Sheng Xiao and Zhongteng, and were therefore extremely puzzled by Sheng Xiao’s presence.

Only Sheng Xiao’s big shot partners quickly came to him and shook his hand. “Thanks for coming, Chief Sheng.”

“Indeed. We thought that you would be too busy to attend a gathering like this.”

Sheng Xiao smiled in return, and saw Sheng Kai nearby.

“No, wait. What’s going on? Isn’t Sheng Kai, the second young master of the Sheng family the Crown Prince of Huang Yao now?”

“Stop that nonsense,” a close friend of Sheng Xiao’s explained on his behalf. “Chief Sheng’s attendance has nothing to do with Huang Yao, because he is the CEO of Zhongteng.”

Everyone understood immediately thanks to his explanation.

“So he is the CEO of Zhongteng!”

“Oh my god! So he had been developing a military industry over the last six months. The rumors circulating that his future was ruined by a woman was completely false!”

Now, all the guests were certainly stunned that Huang Yao’s former Crown Prince, whom they assumed would never rise again for the rest of his life, had established an extraordinary military industry in just six months.

They had assumed that Sheng Xiao had nothing left after leaving Huang Yao.

And yet he somehow turned things around, and was now the CEO of Zhongteng!

Was that not the most resounding slap in the world?

In fact, the guests’ gasps of shock alone were obvious how far Sheng Xiao had astonished them.

Nearby, Sheng Kai’s face was full of disbelief as well. His grandfather had clearly hired someone to keep an eye on Mu Qiqi, and the Shen family had clearly told them that Sheng Xiao was a penniless son-in-law.

Really, who would have thought that Sheng Xiao could pull wool over everyone’s eyes?

His ambition had been going wild all along, having set aside his plans of his own.

No!

It left Sheng Kai utterly humiliated, because it meant that Sheng Xiao did not care for Huang Yao at all. That was why he left the Sheng family the way he did, and built up Zhongteng in just half a year.

That man had not only betrayed his own family!

It was not just Sheng Kai either. Even Gu Ziling, who stood by Sheng Kai’s side had to admit one thing once she saw Sheng Kai: it did not matter how hardworking Sheng Kai was, but the gap between a genius and an average person was only too clear.

Everyone who stood in the same room as Sheng Xiao seemed to lose color in comparison.

Even if he did not make a pompous appearance and was quietly attending the gathering as an ordinary person-in-charge, he was leaving everyone in shame with how dazzling he was.

“Really couldn’t tell that Sheng Xiao would always be Sheng Xiao. How astonishing.”

Even as the guests debated away to new heights, Jing Yun and Sheng Minglan came to Sheng Xiao. “Greetings, Chief Sheng.”

Sheng Xiao extended his hand to shake Jing Yun’s. “We might work together again yet.”

In just half a year, Sheng Xiao had become much calmer and composed, losing his past sharpness and the obvious air of danger that surrounds him.

“Really, the one Secretary He has his eyes on doesn’t disappoint.”

“Chief Sheng. Here’s to hoping for a chance of a partnership.”

Sheng Xiao thanked every guest who came to greet him, eventually turning back to look at Sheng Kai.

After all, Sheng Kai’s existence was like a joke now.

He merely picked up the company and woman Sheng Xiao never wanted.

Sheng Kai had believed that he was shouldering the duty of caring for his family, but the Sheng family now looked no more than chess pieces on Sheng Xiao’s board.

Gu Ziling could understand Sheng Kai’s mood now, because she was equally troubled.

Still, it was precisely because of the time and place that they could not afford to lose the appearance of magnanimity. “Go on, say hello.” She told Sheng Kai.

Sheng Kai hence stiffly walked up to Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi, and only managed to seethe through gritted teeth, “You have some good moves. Now you’ve made fools of everyone in the family.”

“What I do after leaving the Sheng family is my own business. What, does it hurt the Sheng family now that I’ve made it?” Sheng Xiao asked him in return.

“You are the high-and-mighty CEO of Zhongteng. All of Jianchuan’s important people are your friends—is there a need for unimportant people like us?”

“Your assistant even humiliated me in the auction a few days ago.”

“Could you be convinced of your own greatness, Sheng Xiao? Just because you abandoned Huang Yao to build up Zhongteng?”

Sheng Xiao said nothing to Sheng Kai’s questioning, but Mu Qiqi did.

In half a year, she had matured and become even more beautiful.

“Don’t get so full of yourselves. Xiao Xiao left the Sheng family because he wanted to be free from Old Sheng’s control. Don’t you know what has been gnawing at your own heart?”

“You’ve really become eloquent after half a year,” Sheng Kai retorted. “You were the one who took him away. He had been fine with the family, and would he had left if you didn’t show up?”

Mu Qiqi was not caving in, however. “So? You are now CEO and hold all stake he once had. Now that you’re the boss, you’re coming to blame Xiao Xiao for giving up on his responsibility? Aren’t you acting on double standards here?”

“Why is the Sheng family always so despicable and so full of yourselves? Sheng Xiao had to be at your beck and call when you wanted him to manage Huang Yao, but when you decided you want his power, you simply threw him away, even sending people to keep an eye on him every day. Now that you could see that he has made it, you are still jealous?”

“Mu Qiqi…” Furious, Sheng Kai raised his voice.

“You don’t have to be so loud. In the end, I’m a member of the Shen family—I have power, while all you have is money.”
