Hearing Chen Qingdi say this, Elder Luo was overjoyed.

"You have my thanks."

Elder Luo said.

"Mr. Chen, you've been a huge help this time."

"If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."

Luo Longsheng said.

"No need for formalities. Since everything's been taken care of, isn't it time to sign that contract with the Mu Family?"

"Mu Xinlei has been bugging me about it for a while now."

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"Of course, of course."

"I'll call Mu Xinlei right now and have him come over to sign the contract."

"Besides, today is a joyous occasion. Our Luo Family has finally gotten back to normal."

"After we're done, let's have a meal together. Mr. Chen, please don't refuse."

Luo Longsheng said.

"Alright."

Chen Qingdi nodded.

Seeing Luo Longsheng's sincerity, Chen Qingdi didn't have the heart to refuse.

Less than forty minutes later, Mu Xinlei arrived with the contract.

"Xinlei, thank you for your patience these past few days."

Luo Longsheng said with a smile, looking at Mu Xinlei.

"Patient? Not at all! From now on, the Mu Family and the Luo Family will have a powerful partnership."

Mu Xinlei said with a laugh.

"Yes, yes, of course. We will certainly have a great partnership."

"With Mr. Chen here, our future business endeavors are sure to flourish."

"Come, let's go eat."

Luo Longsheng said with a smile.

"You all go ahead. I'm getting old and need to rest more. To be honest, just listening to you all talk for a while has already made me a bit tired."

Elder Luo said.

"Alright, Father. You get some rest. I'll take Mr. Chen and Mr. Mu out to eat."

Luo Longsheng said with a smile.

"Alright."

Elder Luo nodded.

With that, Elder Luo left.

Luo Longsheng then took Chen Qingdi and Mu Xinlei to Holy Era, one of Jingxi's grandest restaurants.

Entry into Holy Era required either a reservation or a membership card.

The minimum spending for each visit was 100,000.

It was a popular spot for the wealthy.

However, Chen Qingdi didn't like places like this.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it; in his eyes, a place like this was no different from a roadside stall.

'Why do people have to be divided into different classes?'

Just as Luo Longsheng, Chen Qingdi, and Mu Xinlei stepped into the lobby, a young man shot a mocking glance their way.

"Well, well, look who it is. If it isn't President Luo and President Mu."

"But who's this lackey you have with you?"

This young man was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands and wore an extremely expensive watch. His icy gaze fell on Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi was dressed very ordinarily, making him look like a lackey.

"Qi Yu, watch your mouth. This is Chen Qingdi, our honored guest."

"Don't go looking for trouble."

Luo Longsheng glared at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was the young master of the Qi Family, a generation younger than Luo Longsheng.

The Qi Family was also a second-rate family in Jingxi, comparable in strength to the Luo Family.

But with all the recent troubles the Luo Family had faced, the Qi Family was already showing signs of surpassing them.

That's why even a young master like Qi Yu no longer took Luo Longsheng seriously.

To say nothing of Mu Xinlei, whose Mu Family was now considered merely a third-rate family.

"Who's looking for trouble? You brought a scrap collector here to eat."

"Aren't you lowering the standards of Holy Era a bit too much?"

"If I'd known this kind of person would be eating here, I wouldn't have come in."

Qi Yu said, looking displeased.

"Hey, Holy Era! Is anyone going to do something about this?"

"Can people like this just walk in here?"

Qi Yu shouted.

The lobby manager of Holy Era quickly ran over.

"Young Master Qi, what's wrong?"

"Why are you so angry?"

"Who's upset you now?"

The Holy Era manager looked at Qi Yu with a fawning expression.

"Who's upset me? Are you blind?"

"How did someone like this get in?"

Qi Yu pointed at Chen Qingdi.

The Holy Era lobby manager's name was Zhao Yuan.

He followed Qi Yu's finger and looked at Chen Qingdi.

He saw Chen Qingdi dressed in clothes that cost less than a hundred yuan, with a very ordinary pair of shoes as well.

'A person like this really shouldn't be at Holy Era.' In Zhao Yuan's opinion, Chen Qingdi was, at best, a lackey.

"President Luo, President Mu."

"You are both members here."

"But this gentleman... doesn't seem to be."

"Could you please ask him to leave?"

"Otherwise, it will upset Young Master Qi. You see, could you do us a favor in this matter?"

Zhao Yuan said with a smile, looking at Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei.

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, both Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei's faces filled with anger.

Just because Chen Qingdi was dressed plainly and wasn't a member, he had to be kicked out? What kind of reasoning was that?

"But I am a member, and I have the right to bring my friends in."

"I'd like to see any of you try to kick Mr. Chen out."

Luo Longsheng said with a cold expression.

Zhao Yuan looked troubled.

It was true that every member could bring their friends in.

Each member was limited to three guests, so Luo Longsheng hadn't broken any rules.

But bringing Chen Qingdi in had angered Qi Yu. If that made the Qi Family unhappy, they might pull their investment shares from Holy Era. That would be a huge problem.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan naturally had to act in Qi Yu's interest, wanting to please him and curry his favor.

Zhao Yuan's expression was grim.

Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei were both heads of their families and not to be provoked either.

As for Qi Yu, he dared to provoke him even less.

For a moment, Zhao Yuan was caught in a difficult position.

"President Luo, President Mu, I'm afraid it's really not worth ruining the mood with Young Master Qi over a mere lackey."

"I advise you both to just ask this Mr. Chen to leave for now."

Zhao Yuan mustered his courage and said again to Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei.

"You're just a lobby manager. What did you say? Say that to me again!"

Luo Longsheng said, furious.

At the same time, he strode up to Zhao Yuan and shoved him to the ground.

"Forget it. A hotel like this... we're better off not coming here anyway."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Its vision is too small. It will never grow into anything significant in the future."

Chen Qingdi added, twisting the knife.

But Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei were still silently fuming.

They were determined to eat here today, just to see what this Zhao Yuan could do about it.

"No, Mr. Chen. We are eating here today."

"I'd like to see what tricks Young Master Qi has up his sleeve to stop us from eating here."

Luo Longsheng glared angrily at Qi Yu.

"HAHAHA, the Luo and Mu Families are really sinking to new lows. No wonder your families decline year after year."

Qi Yu taunted loudly.
