I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 599 - 435: Oblivious to Romance

Before he could even finish speaking, Xia Liang saw He Youling’s face flush with excitement.

He, too, immediately grasped Xia Liang’s hand.

"I usually hold a small banquet whenever my son returns to Haojiang. This time, with my daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, it’s a double blessing, so we’ll be inviting even more people. To be honest, I’ve always wanted Master Xia to grace us with his presence, but I never dared to ask."

"Indeed, it is our honor to have Master Xia come; we couldn’t be happier."

He Xiaojun also smiled, already finding it difficult to control his eagerness to spread the news.

Master Xia of Qingyun City visiting the He Family, what a supreme honor! It seems the scale of this banquet will have to be much grander than before. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Listening to their conversation, Xia Liang simply smiled.

"This banquet is going to be much more fun than you can imagine."

...

That very afternoon, the news that Xia Liang would attend the He family banquet in a few days spread throughout the elite circles of Haojiang.

However, most people didn’t know who Xia Liang was. Only after some investigation did they begin to understand the background of this man.

And because He Xiaojun simply couldn’t resist telling some friends about what had happened, Xia Liang’s reputation spread far and wide.

A single phone call, a single video, could take a life—this was something no ordinary person could do.

Countless similar conversations took place in villas all over Haojiang.

"That Xia Liang from Qingyun City, he’s come to Haojiang?"

"That’s right. He seems to be staying with the He Family now."

"Quick... quickly call Elder He! I want a spot."

"Master Xia of Qingyun City, the one who can decree life and death with a word and ensnare a soul with an utterance? Quick, prepare a gift! We’re visiting the He Family tonight."

In no time, the He Family’s phone lines were nearly ringing off the hook, and the thresholds to their villas were practically worn down by visitors.

After hearing the various rumors about Xia Liang, everyone was desperate to attend the banquet. They believed that even a single encounter would be something to boast about for years.

If they were even luckier and received a small piece of advice from Xia Liang, they might even extend their lives by several years.

Yet Xia Liang himself was unaware of the great commotion he had sparked among Haojiang’s high society.

Because he had asked for privacy in advance, the He Family revealed no information about him or his whereabouts, allowing him to tour Haojiang at his leisure.

...

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. As the afternoon breeze blew gently, Xia Liang settled into a stretched Lincoln parked at the entrance and headed toward the He Family’s ancestral home in Haojiang.

The He Family typically held their banquets at their ancestral home. While this ancestral residence wasn’t as magnificent as their other villas, it was the largest by far.

Located on high ground, it offered an unparalleled, expansive view that covered nearly half of Haojiang.

This was the only residence in the area; the entire mountaintop belonged to the He Family.

But Xia Liang could see at a glance that its auspicious aura, overlooking both mountain and sea, practically guided the fate of all of Haojiang.

It was no wonder the He Family was so successful. This banquet was intended to be a private family affair, but countless members of Haojiang’s elite expressed their desire to attend. However, the He family did not accommodate everyone, instead choosing to send out invitations selectively.

Besides the He Family members, almost everyone who received an invitation was a figure who stood at the pinnacle of Haojiang society.

The impact of this family banquet—or rather, the impact of Xia Liang himself—far exceeded the expectations of He Youling and his son.

A rumor was already circulating: only those who attended the He Family’s banquet could be considered part of Haojiang’s true upper echelon.

Unintentionally, Xia Liang had created a new hierarchy for the high society of Haojiang.

As the Lincoln drew closer to the He family’s ancestral home, the surroundings began to buzz with activity.

Although the event was not open to the public, had no paparazzi, and sent invitations only after a careful screening of Haojiang’s upper crust, a sizable number of people had still arrived today.

Various Haojiang officials and members of other major families had all arrived.

Though most guests had already taken their seats, their gazes rarely left the main gate. Even while chatting with others, their eyes would frequently dart toward the entrance.

As a Lincoln pulled up to the gate, many stretched their necks to get a better look. A young man slowly descended from the car.

He was dressed in a Tang-style suit, a faint smile on his face, exuding an air of transcendence. Although some only knew Xia Liang by name and had never seen him before, they knew in that instant that the person they had been waiting for had arrived.

After getting out of the car, Xia Liang walked straight toward the entrance.

He Xiaojun was already waiting for him there.

As for He Youling, he was still inside greeting guests, but his gaze kept darting toward the entrance, afraid of accidentally slighting Xia Liang.

He Xiaojun stayed by my side, continuously introducing those who came up to greet me. Seeing all these people, I wasn’t surprised. I knew that after helping Elder He and demonstrating my capabilities, my presence in Haojiang could no longer be kept secret. I certainly couldn’t just wander around for my own amusement anymore. Since that was the case, I might as well use the Elder’s connections to show the rest of Haojiang’s elite what I can do and make a name for myself.
