The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 964 [South Lan, North Wu]

When they arrived at the venue of the conference, the place was already packed with people.

Moreover, plenty of luxury cars were parked at the entrance of the conference. Lan Yahui explained that not only scholars and masters from the archaeology field attended the conference, but also some antique enthusiasts who were interested in it. Many came with the mindset of appraising treasures.

Lan Yahui also told Ye Chenfeng that a super-rich big shot would be present at the conference today.

Ye Chenfeng smiled at this. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for wealthy people to play with antiques; it wouldn’t be surprising if a billionaire showed up. Wasn’t Li Qiuming in the jewelry business? He was quite interested in these antiques as well; he was the one who provided the Ancient Tomb map last time.

Inside the conference room, indeed, all the masters from the industry had gathered. Basically, all the notable figures were present.

Here, anyone could be casually pulled out, and their name would be quite intimidating.

"Xiao Ye, are you here?"

Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan both held Ye Chenfeng in high regard, especially after the things he displayed last night, which shocked them. If it weren’t for Ye Chenfeng, they might not even have known what those things were, and Xu Hanwen might have thrown them into the trash can.

To them, treating a treasure as trash is the greatest shame.

So both of them not only admired Ye Chenfeng but also held a sense of gratitude towards him.

"Come on, where are our seats!"

Ye Chenfeng hadn’t expected Lan Yuesheng to arrange a seat for him at the front. At today’s conference, seating was arranged according to one’s identity and qualifications.

The more qualified, the more reputable one was, the closer their seat would be to the front. Conversely, you’d sit towards the back, which was an unwritten rule.

To Ye Chenfeng, having a seat today was already great; even if it were in the left-side last row, he wouldn’t complain.

After all, today’s occasion required professionalism, not posturing or fighting.

"Xiao Ye, what are you standing there for? Sit down quickly!"

Seemingly noticing Ye Chenfeng’s confusion, Lan Yuesheng urged him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng took his seat.

"Hmm? Lan Yuesheng, I know she’s your granddaughter, but who is this?"

Shortly after Ye Chenfeng sat down, not far from him, an elderly man with gray hair looked at him with a puzzled expression and appeared unfriendly. Ye Chenfeng knew this guy probably had a grudge against Lan Yuesheng.

"Xiao Ye is my new student. Wu Longbu, do you have any questions?" Lan Yuesheng replied displeased.

Lan Yuesheng and Wu Longbu held the titles of South Lan and North Wu in the archaeology world; they were both gods of the field. However, they never got along since they met, having spent a lifetime in rivalry with neither acknowledging the other.

"Since he’s your student, why is he sitting here? What qualifies him?" The elderly man named Wu Longbu directly questioned.

His high tone of voice attracted everyone’s attention instantly.

"Oh my, are Lan Yuesheng and Wu Longbu going to fight again?"

"Lan Yuesheng’s student? Why is it some young kid; shouldn’t it at least be a middle-aged person?"

"Hehe, you guys don’t get it, do you? I suspect he’s Lan Yuesheng’s granddaughter’s young boyfriend."

"Shouldn’t be far off, but honestly, a young kid sitting in the first row, it’s not just Wu Longbu who doesn’t accept it; we aren’t happy about it either."

...

A variety of discussions arose below, most of which criticized Lan Yuesheng for placing Ye Chenfeng in the front row.

"Hehe, Lan Yuesheng, you’re becoming quite impressive now. Your student is sitting in the same row as us; is there no such rule under your tutelage?" Wu Longbu asked angrily.

Lan Yuesheng smiled: "Wu Longbu, don’t mock me. You and I both know, one’s position is spoken for by true strength. Let me be frank with you: my student’s abilities are not lacking. He solved a problem last night that neither of us could deal with."

Wu Longbu smiled dismissively: "Really? Is my student Fu Yuan not up to par? He’s been the top talent in the archaeology field in recent years, solving numerous problems for me. You know that his skills are widely recognized, right?"

"Yes, Fu Yuan’s future achievements will surely surpass Master Wu Longbu!"

A group of people below echoed.

"Lan Yuesheng, you see? Fu Yuan’s skills are recognized by everyone; to put it bluntly, his abilities surpass many of our generation!" Wu Longbu was straightforward and spoke his mind.

His sharp eyes continuously scanned the faces of others in that row, yet those elders were embarrassed to refute, or rather, they’d already accepted their abilities weren’t on par with Fu Yuan.

"But hey, the industry has its rules, and Fu Yuan is sitting in the back."

Wu Longbu’s gaze fell on a middle-aged man seated at the back. Ye Chenfeng took the opportunity to glance over and noticed that the Fu Yuan indeed had the demeanor of a grandmaster, remaining composed even amidst so much praise, with eyes as calm as a lake.

"But Lan Yuesheng, you let go of all these rules. Your granddaughter sits beside you, and I have no objections. But you’re not concerned where some student without any credentials popped up here; I object!"

Wu Longbu’s words were straightforward and to the point, leaving no room for mercy.

Unexpectedly faced with such a situation, Lan Yuesheng didn’t know how to respond.

At first, coming in, he thought Ye Chenfeng was a guest and let him sit with them. At that time, he didn’t think much, yet Wu Longbu had seized this opportunity.

"Furthermore, Lan Yuesheng, do you know? Your student occupies the seat of today’s big shot. When he arrives, I wonder how you’ll handle it?" Wu Longbu showed a slightly gleeful smile, seemingly waiting to see Lan Yuesheng and Ye Chenfeng embarrassed.

Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan were even more at a loss; should they ask Ye Chenfeng to leave and sit in the back row?

If they did that, not only Ye Chenfeng would lose face, but he would also be embarrassed, further giving Wu Longbu an advantage.

"Grandpa Lan, I..."

Seeing their dilemma, when Ye Chenfeng proactively offered to wait outside...

The sizeable conference room erupted in commotion, especially as the organizers of the conference excitably rushed towards the entrance.

Amidst the crowd, a person walked slowly with gentlemanly steps.

His aura was entirely different, unmatched even by these titans.

Instantly, he drew everyone’s attention.

Ye Chenfeng took a quick glance. There were too many people, making it hard to see who he was, but Ye Chenfeng felt this person seemed familiar.

"It’s Macau’s wealthiest man, Li Qiuming!"
