Chapter 1531: Chen Xiaobei's Speculation

"No matter how many enemies out there, no matter how strong they are, I believe that our master is ready for anything! Our master would have the last laugh!" The Tyrant Dragon King said confidently.

"That's right!" Gordon quickly piled on. "This is especially true as master runs with the blood from the Ancient Witch Dragon, fused with the Bryan' Special Ability! Get familiar with it beforehand so that it would be put to full use when we arrive at Emperor Qin's tomb!"

"Nah... not today!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head. "Lan Mengcheng is waiting for me in the hotel! Considering the time now, her secretary must be there already! They are supposed to be negotiating a deal with Brandon Organization. I have to go keep watch. Also, the new batch of Skybreaking Cultivation pills would need another two days before it's done. I want to breakthrough my cultivation before eating that Dark Neutron!"

After that, Chen Xiaobei put Gordon and the Tyrant Dragon King back into the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd and rushed to the hotel on the Somersault Cloud.

...

Everything was peaceful back in the hotel.

With Python King and Ape King's protection, Lan Mengcheng had her heart at ease and was able to relax and catch some good sleep.

Once Chen Xiaoobei arrived at the hotel, he put both Python King and Ape King back into the gourd.

Lan Mengcheng's secretary, Wang Yuhao, arrived shortly after.

He was in his thirties and looked very outstanding in his appearance. It was evident that he was a social elite with a classy stance from head to toe.

Of course, no regular Joe could qualify to be Lan Mengcheng's personal secretary.

"CEO Lan! You are incredible! You're half a day earlier than I am! I was even afraid that you'd be late!" Wang Yuhao said with a smile.

"This meeting is very important! How can I be late?" Lan Mengcheng did not return the smile, done deliberately to maintain a professional distance between them.

Of course, it was not that she did not trust him, but that she was afraid that Chen Xiaobei might misunderstand their relationship.

"CEO Lan, how did you do it? How did you get here so quickly?" Wang Yuhao asked.

"I..." Lan Mengcheng nearly tripped over herself. "I took CEO Chen's private jet. That's why."

"CEO Chen?" Wang Yuhao's eyes lit up. "Are you talking about the CEO of our Bei Cheng Cosmetics? Is he here today? CEO Lan, can you refer me to him? I've been hearing great things about him and I've been dying to see that old man in person!"

"Ahem..." Chen Xiaobei coughed. "CEO Chen is not an old man!"

"What do you know? I am just being respectful!" Wang Yuhao gave Chen Xiaobei a sneering stare. "Who are you, anyway? Why are you with our CEO Lan?"

"Who am I?" Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. "I am your CEO Chen!"

"You? Er..." Wang Yuhao rolled his eyes. "Stop joking around, okay? Our President Chen is a VIP. Oh please. How could someone like you even think that you could pass off as him?"

"Wang Yuhao! Don't be rude!" Lan Mengcheng quickly stepped in. "I still haven't had the chance to introduce you! This is our Bei Cheng's CEO, Chen Xiaobei!"

"What?!" Wang Yuhao's jaw fell unconsciously. His eyes were open so wide, it seemed his eyeballs would simply fall out.

His brain could not seem to register that Dragon City's most renowned Mr. Chen who had plenty of rumors swirling around him, was actually a young lad!

"Why are you zoning out like that? My introduction isn't clear enough?" Lan Mengcheng said sternly.

"Cl... Crystal clear!" Wang Yuhao changed his entire mannerism, now wearing a wide, cheery smile. "CEO Chen! You are nothing but a story of success at such a young age! I've been hoping to meet you for the longest time! It looks like you've stayed true to your reputation! My admiration for you is like a torrential river, never ceasing..."

Chen Xiaobei looked at Wang Yuhao from the corner of his eyes, and said, "Mengcheng, why is this thing with you? Is he even reliable?"

Wang Yuhao's little heart stopped beating for a good second hearing him being refered to as a 'thing'.

In Dragon City, the Lan family was one of the three richest families, and the Lan Organization's biggest shareholder was Chen Xiaobei, the mysterious CEO Chen!

Chen Xiaobei's words would mean Wang Yuhao's death sentence.

"CEO Lan... CEO Lan, please explain on my behalf..." stammered Wang Yuhao who had broken out into cold sweat.

Lan Mengcheng frowned. "CEO Chen, if you may, secretary Wang was sent by my father's organization. He's been a very outstanding staff of ours and has helped me a lot while you were gone!"

"Mm..." Chen Xiaobei said. "Fine, since you think this person is useful, then I won't comment any further!"

"Thank you, CEO Chen... Thank you, CEO Lan..." Wang Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right. Secretary Wang, when is the meeting with Brandon Company starting? Have you prepared everything?" Lan Mengcheng asked.

"It's in 30 minutes. We have to leave now. The car is ready. It's awaits you outside! I've already prepared everything we need for the meeting. Don't worry, CEO Lan, we've got it covered!"

"Mm!" Lan Mengcheng nodded and gave Chen Xiaobei a look.

"Secretary Wang really is something! If we're successful today, increase his salary!" Chen Xiaobei said.

"Thank you, CEO Chen! Thank you, CEO Chen!" Wang Yuhao nodded and bowed; the smile he wore earlier returned to his lips.

"Alright. You can take your leave for a moment! I have something I need to discuss personally with CEO Lan!" Chen Xiaobei said.

"Yes!" Wang Yuhao quickly exited the room.

"Xiaobei! You really are something!" Lan Mengcheng praised. "Using kindness as a means of cruelty! From today onwards, Wang Yuhao will be more honest and obedient! At least he won't sweet talk in front of us!"

"It's too early to tell!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you heard of the Bryan family?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"Bryan? Did you mean Brighton? The Brighton Organization that we're meeting today is a family business. They play very important roles in the business and politics of America. Their family's roots run deep, and they are one of the oldest families around!"

"No! Chen Xiaobei shooked his head. "I'm talking about the Bryan family! That's a family of vampires! I left earlier because I had to pay a visit to the Bryan' Castle!"

"Vampires?!" Lan Mengcheng gasped. "I... I've never heard of this family... You must have mixed them up..."

"Li Family from Zhong State is also a family of vampires! The head of the family Li Xiang, is my good friend!" Chen Xiaobei said. "For a vampire family to survive, they'll need a hell lot of money and resources! That's why they are using this family-owned business as a cover, a very common way to make a ton of money without getting noticed!"

"I..." Lan Mengcheng started to panic. "If what you say is true, what do you think will happen in the meeting later?"
