667: Chapter 668: Isn’t it embarrassing to have your bragging backfire?_1 667: Chapter 668: Isn’t it embarrassing to have your bragging backfire?_1 “You’ve all heard of Yama Hall, right, Dragon Country’s most sacred secret organization.

With this medallion, I will receive full protection from Yama Hall!

Of course, that’s just one reason.

The reason I like it more is because it’s a creation of the War God.

There are only thirty-six of these medallions in total!”

Fang Enze remarked wistfully.

He didn’t understand how Xiao Chen, that guy, could be so clueless about the value of this item to actually give it to him.

“So this thing is really valuable, huh?

Ah, could I have given the wrong gift?”

Xiao Chen said with a laugh.

Fang Enze clutched the medallion tightly: “Once a gift is given, it can’t be taken back.”

He looked just like a child protectively clutching his toy to death, unmistakably anxious.

The people around were already beyond shocked.

This kind of gift was truly too precious, too precious indeed.

Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with a gaze of disbelief.

Of course, there were some who took pleasure in the misfortune of others.

It seemed they thought Xiao Chen had accidentally given away such a valuable gift.

Could Xiao Chen really have done it by accident?

He made the item himself, and though it’s said there are only thirty-six, he could make as many more as he wished.

It didn’t really mean anything to him.

But for Fang Enze, it was a different story.

“Since Teacher Fang likes it so much, I wouldn’t feel right asking for it back!”

Xiao Chen said with a smile, “As long as you’re happy with the gift!”

“Happy!

Of course, I’m happy!”

Fang Enze never expected to receive such a wonderful gift for his sixtieth birthday, a truly precious one at that.

Lin Huai watched the scene unfold, truly upset.

He had hoped Xiao Chen would make a fool of himself, but instead, the guy managed to give such a valuable gift to Fang Enze, which was hard for him to accept.

Thus, he said in a mocking tone, “Xiao Chen, ten minutes are almost up, where’s the evidence you mentioned?

I’m starting to suspect that not only is your chessboard fake, but this medallion is as well.”

“Yes, Teacher, there are so many frauds these days, we must be on our guard, or we’ll become a joke!”

Zhang Qin’an also cautioned.

It was then that Fang Enze became sober.

To be honest, he had only seen the medallion once and truly couldn’t be sure if it was real or fake.

“I heard that if the head honcho touched this thing, he would surely be able to distinguish its authenticity!”

He thought to himself.

Just at that moment, someone rushed in from outside: “Master, distinguished guests have arrived!”

“Distinguished guests, which distinguished guests?”

Fang Enze asked, startled.

“The Chess Saint Ma Yunjie, and the Boss of Xiongcheng City!”

The servant announced.

What!

Upon hearing this news, Fang Enze was so excited he nearly jumped.

Whether it was the Chess Saint Ma Yunjie or the Boss of Xiongcheng City, they were guests he had wanted to invite but failed to do so.

And now, unexpectedly, they were here.

At that time, everyone looked at Zhang Qin’an, and Fang Bingnan said with a laugh, “Qin An, you really know how to play a part, pretending you hadn’t invited anyone when you actually did.

You were planning a surprise for the Teacher!

Lin Huai also laughed, “Qin An is truly impressive, you’ve handled this matter beautifully!”

Everyone joined in with flattery.

After all, as the Chairman of the Xiongcheng City Chamber of Commerce, keeping Zhang Qin’an on good terms was extremely beneficial for doing business in Xiongcheng City.

Upon hearing the crowd, Fang Enze also smiled and said, “Qin An, you kid, what a surprise.

Not bad, not bad at all, you truly live up to being the Teacher’s most prized pupil.

Ha ha ha.”

He laughed heartily.

Having the Chess Saint Ma Yunjie come was like fulfilling a long-held wish of his.

Zhang Qin’an was taken aback.

He thought to himself that this definitely wasn’t the person he had invited.

But who cares, anyway?

Since everyone thought it was his doing, what did it matter if he admitted to it?

Moreover, was there anyone here who dared not to give him face?

Dare to expose him?

“Hehe, Teacher, I’m glad you’re happy.

Lin Huai also played a role in this!”

Zhang Qin’an, who always had a good relationship with Lin Huai, took the chance to put in a good word for him and ease some of Lin Huai’s embarrassment.

“Chairman Zhang, you can’t speak carelessly.

Was it really you who invited them?

Didn’t you say yesterday that you couldn’t get them to come?”

Smiling, Zhao Ya’nan asked.

She knew it was Xiao Chen who had invited Ma Yunjie, so she asked the question on purpose.

If Zhang Qin’an told the truth, that would be the end of it, but if he continued to boast shamelessly, he was going to embarrass himself later.

“Yesterday was yesterday, today is today.

If I didn’t invite them, are you suggesting you did?”

Zhang Qin’an disdainfully looked at Zhao Ya’nan.

He didn’t even take Jiang Meng seriously, let alone Zhao Ya’nan.

“I don’t have such influence,”

Ya Nan shook her head.

“That settles it then!”

Zhang Qin’an said with disdain.

“Alright, enough talk.

Go and welcome the distinguished guest.

Qin An, you’ve made a tremendous contribution today.

Teacher will always remember your kindness!”

Although the commemorative medal Xiao Chen had given was very nice, it was still an inanimate object, and its authenticity was uncertain.

Therefore, for Fang Enze, the arrival of the Chess Master Ma Yunjie was an unexpected delight.

“Teacher Fang, today we’re here to celebrate your birthday and we didn’t bring any fancy presents.

We’re just here to offer our birthday wishes!”

The first to enter was the Boss of Xiongcheng City, followed by several important figures.

Zhang Qin’an and others seated promptly got up.

Jiang Meng and Zhao Ya’nan also rose to their feet.

Only Xiao Chen remained seated, continuing to eat fruit and drink tea as if nothing was amiss.

At that moment, Ma Yunjie came over, took Fang Enze’s hand, and said, “Teacher Fang has many pupils far and wide.

It’s okay if I join your birthday banquet today, right?”

“No problem at all, of course, there’s no problem.

Having you all here is already making the Fang Family shine with added luster.

It’s fine even without gifts,”

Fang Enze practically grinned from ear to ear.

Zhang Qin’an stood there, a bit nervous.

He was also afraid of being exposed, which would be rather embarrassing.

But when has anyone who’s done something wrong not had it come back to bite them?

It’s just a matter of sooner or later.

“Chess Master Ma, this Chairman Zhang claims he invited you here.

Is it true?”

Xiao Chen suddenly asked.

Only then did everyone notice he was sitting there.

Fang Enze frowned and said, “Jiang Meng, quickly have Xiao Chen stand up.

The Boss of Xiongcheng City and Chess Master Ma have arrived.

How can he just sit there without moving?”

“I, too, would like to stand up.

It’s just that I’m afraid they won’t feel at ease!”

Xiao Chen said lightly with a smile.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be polite to those two.

The problem was, if he stood up, those people would have to kneel.

So, it was better for him to remain seated.

“You’re always bragging!”

Zhang Qin’an said.

“Compared to you, I’m nothing.

Chess Master Ma, what about the question I asked you?”

Xiao Chen laughed.

“I don’t know this Chairman Zhang!”

Ma Yunjie shook his head and said, “My visit here is at the invitation of Jiang Meng, the director of Xinmeng Group, to have a chess match with Teacher Fang.

Oh, and she managed to acquire my favorite chessboard to give to Elder Zhang as a present.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Huai and Zhang Qin’an both felt their hearts skip a beat.

This must be the evidence Xiao Chen was talking about.

Ma Yunjie himself just admitted the chessboard was authentic.

Could there be any doubt about its authenticity?
