Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 425 - 339: Boss Zhu_2

He recalled the business card offered by the other party and remembered that the person was named Zhu Zheng. He hadn’t paid much attention at the time and didn’t think much of him.

Now seeing the other party so enthusiastic, and being on his yacht, Li Jing showed some goodwill and explained: "Boss Zhu, I didn’t expect to meet you again.

Yingying is a friend of mine. She told me that from this yacht, you can see the unique scenery of Hai City that is rarely seen, so I came aboard to take a look."

Standing nearby, Yingying’s face changed slightly upon hearing Li Jing call her his friend, and a surge of astonished delight flashed in her heart.

Zhu Zheng laughed heartily after hearing this: "Then President Li, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve chartered this yacht to shoot a promotional film for Hai City, and selected these places for their beautiful scenery.

This route has not yet been developed into a tour line; apart from us, you should be the first out-of-town visitor.

If I had known you wanted to see Hai City’s scenery, I would have personally invited you on board."

With that, he looked at Yingying with some satisfaction and said: "Yingying, you’ve really helped the association this time! Director Xiao told me to learn from President Li, and I was worried about not getting the chance. I didn’t realize President Li was your friend. I must have underestimated you before!"

Yingying’s face showed a slight surprise, and she hurriedly explained: "Boss Zhu, it’s President Li who holds me in regard. I only had the fortune to know him through Shi Yang."

Hearing Yingying say she met Li Jing through Shi Yang, Zhu Zheng was enlightened and understood how the two became friends.

He then turned around and looked at Chen Ziteng, jokingly asking: "Young Master Chen, do you also know President Li? It’s no wonder; President Li has a high status and is deeply connected with the Liu and Shi families in the city.

It’s not surprising he has ties with your Chen Family as well. Why not seize the day? Let me ask the chef to prepare something special, and we can have some drinks and a meal together shortly."

Zhu Zheng continued to speak with a smile, assuming Chen Ziteng and Li Jing were engaged in conversation.

But as he spoke, he keenly noticed that Chen Ziteng and Brother Long behind him looked odd, both awkward and unnatural.

Zhu Zheng frowned slightly, puzzled, and suddenly recalled that Chen Ziteng called him here because someone was causing trouble.

His smile faded a bit, and he asked with confusion: "Oh right, Young Master Chen, you mentioned someone was causing trouble here, who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziteng’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.

Nearby, Brother Long and Nuannuan were even more shocked, seeing Zhu Zheng’s attitude toward Li Jing, they dared not speak.

Nuannuan, who was quick-witted, had already quietly moved her feet backwards, trying to blend into the crowd.

Zhu Zheng quickly sensed something was amiss, he swiftly scanned the expressions of those around, getting a rough idea of the situation.

It seemed that the conflict was indeed between Chen Ziteng and Li Jing, and the person causing trouble, as Chen Ziteng mentioned, was probably Li Jing.

Looking at the positions of both sides, Chen Ziteng, Nuannuan, and Brother Long stood together, while Li Jing, Yingying, and Little Fox stood on the other side.

Zhu Zheng had roughly pieced together the situation, suspecting that Yingying and Nuannuan were the ones who initially started the argument, leading to the conflict between Chen Ziteng and Li Jing.

He knew Chen Ziteng’s character well, although a rich second generation, he was cautious and would never easily provoke someone without knowing their background.

What’s more, given Li Jing’s well-dressed appearance, he was clearly not an ordinary person; someone like Chen Ziteng would never recklessly offend him.

Instead, it was Brother Long and Nuannuan, known for their irritable tempers and bad relations with Yingying, who were most likely to have initiated the conflict.

To say the least, Zhu Zheng’s mind worked fast, having mostly figured out the sequence of events in merely a dozen seconds.

So, before Chen Ziteng could explain, his face darkened, and he directly turned to Nuannuan, squinting his eyes as he asked:

"Nuannuan, what’s going on? You were quite active just now; where are you trying to hide now?"

Nuannuan, who was already half hidden in the crowd, jumped at hearing this and quickly stepped out, replying in a panic: "Boss Zhu, I... I didn’t... I wasn’t hiding."

Zhu Zheng’s face was cold, and he glanced at Chen Ziteng, seeing him remain silent, he continued to stare at Nuannuan, questioning:

"Tell me, what exactly happened just now? I heard you and Yingying don’t get along, did you two have another spat? Even dragging Young Master Chen and President Li into it?"

At this, Nuannuan’s heart skipped a beat, instantly feeling anxious.

She was calculating how to respond to Zhu Zheng to appear more justified in this matter.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Zheng saw through the fact that it was she and Yingying who had come into conflict.

Just as she was about to explain, Yingying preemptively spoke up:

"Boss Zhu, indeed, it was a conflict between me and Nuannuan.

Nuannuan wanted Little Fox to act out a script with her, but Little Fox was unwilling, and Nuannuan insisted. As I’m friends with Little Fox, that led to our confrontation."

Yingying knew that if she let Nuannuan speak first, she’d definitely distort the facts and obscure the truth, so she quickly revealed what really happened.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zheng frowned and asked, "A script? What kind of script do you intend to act out?"

Brother Long quickly replied: "Boss Zhu, it’s nothing, just a simple script. You know, acting is all fake, they were just too serious about it."

"What’s so serious?"

Yingying immediately retorted, and then proceeded to explain the script’s content in detail to Zhu Zheng, even bringing up Little Fox being bullied by Brother Long.

After listening, Zhu Zheng’s face darkened.

He had heard of Brother Long’s peculiar habits before, and several influencers had reported him. He had warned Brother Long, but he never listened.

Because Brother Long had Chen Ziteng backing him, Zhu Zheng couldn’t interfere much, as long as nothing major arose or illegal occurred, he turned a blind eye.

But now it seemed the conflict had escalated between Chen Ziteng and Li Jing, prompting him to intervene.

He glanced at Li Jing’s calm demeanor, then at Chen Ziteng’s awkward demeanor, pondering quickly before focusing back on Brother Long, speaking with a low annoyance:

"Long Er, I’ve warned you before, haven’t you changed your nasty habit yet?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Though everyone usually called him Brother Long, since he was second in rank in the family, people older than him like Zhu Zheng habitually called him Long Er.

Seeing Zhu Zheng starting to blame him, Brother Long hurriedly explained: "I really didn’t, just touched a bit; it’s Yingying and that Little Fox making a fuss.

You know, I wouldn’t dare actually do anything, just touched, and it was Nuannuan’s script, she had me act this out, I initially didn’t want to get involved in this."

Hearing Brother Long push the blame onto herself, Nuannuan immediately loudly refuted:

"I never told you to touch Little Fox! I stopped you the first time; it was you who insisted on touching, saying without touching more, it wouldn’t seem real. You even said if I didn’t let you touch, you wouldn’t act."

As Nuannuan publicly disclosed these words, Brother Long’s face flushed red with anger, and he furiously retorted: "Nuannuan, stop spouting nonsense! When did I say such things, you’re falsely accusing me."

Faced with Zhu Zheng and everyone’s gaze, Nuannuan was no longer afraid of Brother Long and raised her voice, countering:

"How am I spouting nonsense? You first touched her shoulder, then wanted to touch her waist, and after touching her waist, still weren’t satisfied and wanted to touch her leg. I guess after you touched her leg, who knows where else you’d touch..."

"Don’t you talk nonsense!!"

Brother Long, flushed red with anger, immediately reached to grab Nuannuan’s collar.

Nuannuan, startled, retreated two steps in panic, only to hear Zhu Zheng loudly rebuke:

"Enough!"

Both were shocked by this rebuke, with eyes full of panic as they looked at Zhu Zheng.
