Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Dinner Banquet Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Dinner Banquet Audric stood frozen, unable to calm his heart for a long time.
Originally, he thought that with Alger’s status and immense wealth, he could absolutely crush Chu Chen.
But unexpectedly, the situation took a complete 180-degree turn from what he imagined.
With a sigh of helplessness, Audric wondered if he should just give up.
“Let’s go.”
Alger, still utterly shocked from the recent events, spoke slowly.
Ultimately, the two left dejectedly.
On the other side, after a short while, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan also left.
After spending ninety million on those three world-class watches, Chu Chen only had ten million left of his spending limit for the day.
Easily, Chu Chen spent the ten million.
After the first day of the trip ended, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan returned to the hotel to rest.
The next morning, Chu Chen received an unexpected call.
It was from a vice president of Ferrari Group.
It turned out there was an important meeting in Shanghai, and this vice president was there representing Ferrari Group.
Learning that Chu Chen was also there, the vice president wanted to meet him.
Since Chu Chen was staying at a hotel, which wasn’t convenient, he arranged to meet at another location with the vice president.
An hour later, Chu Chen arrived at the meeting place.
“Hello, Mr. Chu, I’m Andre, the vice president of Ferrari Group who called you.”
Upon seeing Chu Chen, a tall, slim foreign man hurriedly approached and spoke with utmost politeness.
Although Andre was also a shareholder in Ferrari Group, he held significantly fewer shares and couldn’t compare to Chu Chen, the second largest shareholder of the Ferrari Group.
Therefore, Andre naturally treated Chu Chen with great respect.
“Hello.”
Chu Chen shook hands with Andre and they began to converse.
“By the way, Mr. Chu, there’s a banquet tonight, hosted by an old friend of mine, a wealthy businessman from Shanghai.”
“He has invited many big-shots to attend.”
After chatting for a while, Andre suddenly asked.
“Would you be interested in attending, Mr. Chu?”
“Tonight, sure.”
Chu Chen nodded, having no other plans for the evening, expanding his network was certainly beneficial.
“That’s great.”
“My old friend will be very pleased that you can attend, Mr. Chu.”
Andre introduced Chu Chen to the details of the gathering that evening.
While Chu Chen and Andre were conversing, the doorbell of a luxurious villa in Shanghai rang.
“Who is it?”
A lazy voice came, as Alger walked downstairs with sleepy eyes.
Click.
He opened the door and was stunned by the person standing outside.
In front of the villa stood a stout middle-aged man.
“Father… what are you doing here?”
Alger asked in utter surprise.
The middle-aged man was Alger’s father, the American billionaire who had just acquired 7% of Ferrari Group’s shares.
“I have some matters to handle in Shanghai.”
Alger’s father explained.
“Thought I’d drop by to see my wayward son.”
In his words, Alger’s father clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with his son.
Alger smiled helplessly and invited his father inside.
“What’s going on?”
Upon hearing voices, another voice emerged.
Soon, Audric also appeared.
While in Shanghai, Audric was staying at Alger’s place.
“Oh, Uncle is here?”
Seeing Alger’s father, Audric was equally surprised.
Alger’s father and Audric’s father were friends, so naturally, Audric knew him.
“I heard from your father that you were in Shanghai. Why are you here?”
Seeing Audric, Alger’s father asked in astonishment.
Faced with this question, Audric wore an extremely awkward expression.
How could he explain it?
“Well, you see…”
Helplessly, Alger started to embellish the story.
“What? You were ‘humiliated’?”
After hearing it, Alger’s father was furious.
Although he was dissatisfied with his son for being wayward and reckless, he had a soft spot for him.
To put it bluntly, he was a “protective father.”
Hearing his son’s story, Alger’s father was naturally very angry.
“Father, you have to help me regain my dignity.”
“That guy, flaunting his wealth, humiliated me in front of everyone.”
Alger pleaded.
Originally, he had given up after being effortlessly brushed aside by Chu Chen twice, having no solutions left.
But now that his father was here, Alger felt a stirring ambition again.
With his father stepping in, surely his dignity could be restored, and Chu Chen would be crushed.
In Alger’s subconscious, no matter how rich Chu Chen was, he was just like him, a wealthy second-generation who knew only indulgence.
How could he compare to his father?
To have his father intervene, Alger embellished the story considerably, portraying Chu Chen as exceptionally arrogant while making himself appear innocent.
Seeing his father hesitate, Alger subtly signaled Audric.
“Uncle, I beg you.”
“That person was too despicable, too outrageous!”
Understanding the signal, Audric immediately joined in the plea.
“Alright then.”
“When I have time, I’ll meet the person you mentioned.”
“Make him apologize to you.”
Alger’s father replied calmly, not taking it too seriously. He was just a junior after all.
One word from him, and that junior would definitely be trembling with fear.
Today, he came for more important matters to discuss with his son.
