What?
Someone not even Chen Nan could compare to?
Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng were both surprised when they heard Ma Ming-Bo.
They knew that Chen Nan's father was Chen Ao.
Although Master Li Er was at the apex of his power, Chen Ao was widely recognized as second only to Mr Chu in Jiangdong.
But Ma Ming-Bo said they were about to meet someone more influential than Chen Nan.
Wasn't he implying that the Chen family couldn't compare to this person?
"Is it Mr Chu?” asked Su Qian excitedly at the thought.
In her heart, she was so excited that her face almost flushed red.
She resembled a fan girl who had just met her idol.
"Calm down. You're making it look like you are meeting your future husband,” said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she rolled her eyes at Su Qian.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was completely speechless.
She didn't expect her bestie to be such a huge fan of Mr Chu.
After making a turn, the three of them arrived outside a private room.
Two security guards stopped them at the door.
"I'm Ma Ming-Bo. I was invited by Mr Xu for dinner," said Ma Ming-Bo right away.
Then the security guards glanced at Ma Ming-Bo before saying deeply, "One moment, please. Let me check with Mr Xu.”
"It's fine. Let Ming-Bo in," came a languid yet stern voice from inside the private room.
The guards stopped holding them back and let them in.
The room was decorated lavishly.
A man around Ma Ming-Bo's age sat leaning on the couch in a bathrobe. He used one hand to play with his phone and the other to play with a sexy woman in his lap.
"Chang-Qing, you haven't changed one bit after all these years. Stop it. I have some ladies with me."
Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng quickly averted their eyes from this indecent scene. Ma Ming-Bo bitterly laughed as he reprimanded him.
"Haha! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were bringing ladies over. My apologies."
The man clearly didn't expect Ma Ming-Bo to come with ladies, so he instantly laughed apologetically.
He went back to the bedroom and got changed before walking over again.
But the sexy girl Xu Chang-Qing had in his arms was dismissed.
"Was that your girlfriend?" asked Ma Ming-Bo softly as he watched the sexy girl leave from behind.
Xu Chang-Qing sneered, "She's just a secretary, so definitely not. If she wants to marry into the Xu family, it's going to take way more than good looks and a hot body. Let's not talk about her. Ming-Bo, aren't you going to introduce your friends to me?"
Ma Ming-Bo nodded. Then he introduced Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian.
"Qianqian and Mu-Cheng, this is a classmate of mine from my days as a postgraduate in Yanjing University, Xu Chang-Qing. He hails from an influential family in the capital. He manages the Mount Yunyang Hot Spring Festival, so I managed to get tickets because of him. Also, he's the one who decides on the hot spring allocation later," introduced Ma Ming-Bo with a smile.
"An influential family from the capital?"
