Chapter 365: Pretty Good at Currying Favor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s the big boss of Xinghua Department Store, Boss Huo! My goodness, even Boss Huo is here!” The relatives of the Gong family were nearly blinded by the radiance of these two prominent figures.
Their eyes held genuine surprise. They had been somewhat skeptical of the Gu family’s boasting, but now the reality was undeniable. The notoriously hard-to-invite Deputy Chief He and Boss Huo were standing right before them. There could be no doubt.
The gazes directed at the three members of the Gu family were even more intense. The Gu family had garnered such prestige! Both Deputy Chief He and Boss Huo had attended the Gu family’s two wedding banquets. Such treatment was hard to find even in the entire military compound!
Many people wanted to step forward and speak, but Gu Shan and Zhang Mei were not willing to relinquish their home turf. They had never experienced such glory in their lives. This was all brought about by He Ming and his associates, and it was something the Gu family had fought for. They could not let others reap the benefits.
Gu Shan, pulling Zhang Mei along, quickly moved to block Deputy Chief He from the others. He greeted them warmly, “Brother He, Boss Huo, you’ve finally arrived. Please, come in, we’ve been waiting for you!”
He Ming, hearing himself addressed as ‘Brother’, a flicker of speechlessness crossed his eyes. This old man was quite good at currying favor, even calling him ‘brother’.
Boss Huo followed He Ming inside, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He looked somewhat adorable as he quietly asked He Ming, “Didn’t you say Su Shen was also coming? I haven’t seen him. You’re not lying to me, are you?”
He Ming turned around and smiled, “Why would I lie to you? Su Shen and Gu Zi will definitely come to give their blessings. Right, Captain Gu, Mrs. Gu?”
When He Ming and his associates suddenly mentioned Su Shen and Gu Zi, a hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of Gu Shan and his wife. However, it was not obvious. They just smiled and said, “Little Su and Little Zi said they would be here later.”
At this moment, Lin Miao squeezed through the crowd and said to He Ming and his associates, “Uncle He, Uncle Huo, please bear with us. My sister married into the countryside, the road is long and difficult, so she might be late. Let’s go inside and wait. Don’t worry about my sister not coming. I think she is still more accustomed to the people and things in the city. She misses it and will often come back.”
