663: Chapter 664 The Hidden and The Great_1 663: Chapter 664 The Hidden and The Great_1 “Teacher, we’re just stating the facts,”

“Among all your female students, which one has a husband weaker than Xiao Chen?

Jiang Meng is the prettiest and most talented girl among them all.

Now, Xinmeng Group is thriving more than ever.

The only flaw is her husband, who’s just too disappointing!”

Lin Huai said.

“Whose husband is disappointing?”

Just then, a couple appeared.

The man had slick hair.

He was also wearing designer clothes throughout.

“It’s Zhao Wen and Wu Peng!”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Why such surprise?

Well, these two were famous.

Zhao Wen, a former school beauty, though older than Jiang Meng by several grades, worked for World Unionpay at the age of twenty-eight.

She was the branch manager of the Noble Bank under the World Unionpay umbrella in Xiongcheng City.

Wu Peng, her husband, also worked in Xiongcheng City as the famous marketing director of the Empire Group’s Xiongcheng City Branch.

Both of their statuses were highly esteemed.

In Dragon Country, it’s a matter of pride to work for the Empire Group or Xiao Corporation.

It’s a matter of pride to work for World Unionpay.

Zhang Qin’an seemed inferior when compared to these two.

Everyone knew that the Empire Group wasn’t just any group, their network was extensive.

Not even Zhang Qin’an, the relatively minor head of the Xiongcheng City Chamber of Commerce, could compete.

Let alone the head of the Zhili Prefecture who wouldn’t dare to offend them.

“You’re Jiang Meng’s husband?

Handsome indeed, but a shame you’re nothing but a pretty boy,”

Zhao Wen glanced at Xiao Chen and said, “Marrying Jiang Meng is your good fortune, but you should see if you’re worthy of it!

With someone like you, sooner or later you’ll be cuckolded!”

Wu Peng also laughed and said, “You guys don’t know, but Xiao Chen is no simple character; he once had a marriage arrangement with Ye Menghua of the Capital City’s Ye Family.

Though it was called off later on,

that was already the peak of his life.”

Wu Peng, who’d heard about Xiao Chen’s past from somewhere, spoke bluntly.

Many people in the room turned to look at Xiao Chen, surprised to learn that he had such a history, quite skilled at charming women indeed.

“That’s where you are wrong!”

Xiao Chen, oblivious to being the center of attention, replied with a smile, “The peak of my life is actually having married Jiang Meng!

Ye Menghua?

She’s nothing but a narcissist resting on her family’s laurels.

Unlike our Jiang Meng, who will one day, with her own abilities, create an ultra-powerful family.

Surpassing the top ten noble families, even above the Shang Clan!”

“Hahahaha!”

The crowd burst into laughter.

They all thought that Xiao Chen’s words were a complete joke.

Indeed, Jiang Meng was excellent, but to catch up to Ye Menghua was challenging enough, let alone his talk of creating some ultra-powerful family.

Daydreaming in broad daylight?

“Jiang Meng’s husband is not bad at all, an ultra-powerful family!

Hahaha!

Full of spirit, I must say!

Then we shall wait and see the day Jiang Meng succeeds,”

Wu Peng laughed, his voice dripping with irony.

“You will,”

Xiao Chen said nonchalantly.

“Let’s stop talking and go inside; all the guests have arrived,”

Fang Enze sighed.

Jiang Meng’s husband was not only a failure but also liked to brag and boast.

Jiang Meng was probably with him out of gratitude.

Sometime, he needed to have a talk with Jiang Meng alone.

Such an outstanding girl shouldn’t be ruined by a man like this.

He didn’t say it out loud, but he had already given up on Xiao Chen completely in his heart.

He even felt sorry for Jiang Meng.

Among all the students he had taught, Jiang Meng was the most sensible and talented.

He did not want to see her ruined.

The party moved indoors.

Pastries and dried fruits were already set on the table.

Everyone sat in groups of three or five, eating and chatting.

Jiang Meng, Xiao Chen, and Zhao Ya’nan sat in a corner, truly disinclined to bother with these people.

“Boss, aren’t you angry?”

Zhao Ya’nan pouted, “Just reveal your true identity and scare them to death!”

“My true identity?

What true identity?”

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

“The big boss of Xinmeng Group, the family head of the Xiao Family from Jiangnan!”

Zhao Ya’nan said.

“Forget about it.

In their eyes, Xinmeng Group is just an emerging business, and the Xiao Family from Jiangnan is a negligible small family clan.

Telling them would just give them an excuse to ridicule, wouldn’t it?”

Xiao Chen chuckled, “No need to get angry.

Later, when it’s time to give gifts, I’ll let you all vent properly and outshine that bunch who look down on others!”

“Sorry, I’m late!”

Right at that moment, a nerdy-looking guy with glasses rushed in from the door.

“Have a seat!”

Fang Enze glanced at the newcomer indifferently and sighed.

When it came to his least accomplished student, it had to be Qin Minxue.

The top scholar of the college entrance examination that year.

After going to university, his grades had always been outstanding.

It was a pity he was somewhat indifferent to his proper duties.

Despite studying economics, he was fond of tinkering with natural sciences and engineering stuff.

He wasted his studies and didn’t even receive a diploma in the end.

Fang Enze didn’t really want to see Qin Minxue, but since the latter had come, he, as the teacher, couldn’t just send him away.

“Sorry, but this seat is taken!”

“You should go over there!”

“Why the squeeze?”

Qin Minxue was obviously ostracized by everyone, his face turning beet red.

“Brother, come over here and sit!”

Xiao Chen called out.

A bunch of fools, they didn’t recognize the true Buddha.

This Qin Minxue might very well be the biggest true Buddha here apart from him.

Others might not know, but he knew full well.

He had heard the name Qin Minxue too many times.

Others saw his submissiveness, saw his lack of success.

But Xiao Chen knew that Qin Minxue was the chief engineer of the national secret research department.

Qin Minxue, at the age of thirty-eight, had already become a leader in the industry.

Many of the country’s advanced technologies were related to him.

It’s just that he didn’t pay much attention to personal achievements, so naturally, he wasn’t very famous.

But with Xiao Chen’s status, he naturally knew about him.

“How come Engineer Qin has time to come and celebrate Teacher Fang’s birthday?

You must be busy with work, right?”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

“You know about me?”

Qin Minxue appeared somewhat nervous.

“How could I not?

When you were twenty, one of your research projects attracted the attention of more than a dozen countries.

America offered ten million dollars for your technology, but you didn’t accept.

Later, they tried to lure you to America, but it was the people from Yama Hall who saved you!”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Although they were in different fields, Qin Minxue’s achievements were in no way inferior to his.

In fact, in a certain sense, Xiao Chen immensely admired him.

Unfortunately, his work was classified, so he couldn’t tell these people about it, or else he wouldn’t have to suffer this grievance.

“Shh, keep it down, can’t let others know, it would cause trouble!”

Qin Minxue lowered his voice, “You know people from Yama Hall, it seems, you’re also a person who hides his capabilities and bides his time.”

“Compared to you, I’m nothing.”

Xiao Chen shook his head, “But what about you, don’t you feel suffocated?”

“Feeling suffocated?

It’s just Teacher Fang’s birthday celebration.

I’m here to visit, and if I’m ridiculed, so be it, it’s not like it’s the first or second time, I’m used to it.

As long as the country trusts me, that’s all that matters!”

Qin Minxue said with a smile.
