Divine Lucky Star

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Arrival of Outside Help

In a certain guest room of Hualong Xuan, Zhao Zhenhao’s butler sat on the sofa, carefully picking out a plan.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a black suit, who was the chief strategist of this dinner meeting, codenamed Black Fox.

Behind Black Fox stood three bodyguards in black suits, responsible for relaying his orders at any time.

“The young master went to the restroom twice,” the butler muttered, stroking his chin. “And based on the high-definition surveillance video from the scene, the young master hardly spoke at all. He seemed to be mostly listening to this Wang Hao. What do you think?”

“It must be that the materials the young master prepared couldn’t be used.” Black Fox watched the video again and said with certainty, “Look here, when this Wang Hao speaks, although the young master keeps a smile on his face, his hands are constantly trembling. It’s clear that he is quite agitated, and he often changes his sitting position, which further indicates that this Wang Hao has completely exceeded the young master’s expectations.”

“Indeed,” the butler nodded, then asked, “So according to the plan the young master had prepared earlier, which backup should we send in to save the situation at this time?”

“In my opinion, it’s best not to choose someone with a strong offensive presence to come in at this time,” Black Fox narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “The young master prepared more than thirty contingencies for this dining event, but no matter what, he never expected to be completely overshadowed by this young man. Using those pre-set plans is no longer appropriate, so we must change our thinking.”

The butler thought for a moment and said, “Your meaning is, this young man is much stronger than he appears on the surface, so choosing those strong offensive backups to enter now is very likely to make the young master even less able to get a word in, right?”

“Exactly,” Black Fox nodded, “If Wang Hao can still handle it, the young master will be completely out of play. So I suggest we pick Number Three, Number Eight, and Number Twelve to enter. These three are better at easing the atmosphere, won’t attract too much attention from the other party, and will also make it easier for the young master to participate in the discussion.”

“Okay, let’s go with that decision,” the butler nodded in agreement, then arranged for the three bodyguards to go and notify the backup personnel to get ready to enter.

After the three bodyguards left, the butler sighed, shook his head, and said, “I always thought this Wang Hao was just a minor character. I never expected the young master to be completely out of options against him. What a miscalculation.”

“The young master is still impetuous,” Black Fox said with a laugh, “He’s never faced any kind of failure before, it’s understandable. Young people, they always need to grow.”

Not long after Zhao Zhenhao went to the restroom, Wang Hao’s phone rang.

As he took out his cellphone, Wang Hao shivered suddenly—damn, it’s Wang Mengfei calling! Good heavens, what does Brother Fei want this time?!

“Uh, I’m going to take this call, okay,” Wang Hao gestured with his phone towards Bai Yaning, “I’ll be right back.”

Bai Yaning smiled slightly, “Okay.”

After running off to the side and answering the phone, he heard Brother Fei roaring, “What are you doing? Why did you take so long to answer? Are you free now?”

“I’m having dinner with two friends,” Wang Hao said quietly, “What’s up?”

“Of course, it’s an emergency,” Wang Mengfei grunted, “The Chubby Guy also needs to talk to you. Where are you now?”

“Ah? Nowhere,” Wang Hao quickly said with a laugh, “How about I call you back after I finish eating?”

“So secretive?” Wang Mengfei suddenly became suspicious, “Tell me, who are you having dinner with? Is it a girl? Where? I want to come see.”

Hearing this, Wang Hao’s whole body broke out in goosebumps—could there be any good if Brother Fei showed up?!

“Uh, no need, no need,” Wang Hao hurriedly said, “Just having a casual meal…”

“Stop blabbering!” Wang Mengfei suddenly roared, “Spill the beans, or you’re going to pay for it later!”

“`

Flip the table, damn it, this jerk actually dares to threaten us!

Shit, the problem is the threat works…

Wang Hao, sweating profusely, “I’m at Hualong Xuan… Wait, you guys are really coming?”

Wang Mengfei muttered on the other end, “Where’s Hualong Xuan…” She had been studying in Tianjing for the past few years, so it was normal for her not to know Hualong Xuan. But the thing is, it didn’t matter if she didn’t know; someone else did! Then Wang Hao heard Ren Xing shouting like a pig being butchered, “Brother Hao, you’re with her, right?! Damn, you two actually went to that kind of place to eat! How did things progress so fast between you two?! You didn’t invite us to such a grand affair, pick on you, will I! We have to check it out! We must!”

Then the phone call ended with a “snap”!

Holy crap, they’re seriously coming?! Brother Fei and that fatty Ren Xing! If these two characters show up at Hualong Xuan, won’t they turn the place upside down?!

Well, if they’re coming, they’re coming. Can’t I just admit defeat today?!

When he got back to his seat, Wang Hao looked at Bai Yaning with some difficulty, whispering, “Well… you know, a few friends of mine said they might stop by later…”

“Here?” Bai Yaning thought for a moment, then shook her head, “I don’t mind, but I’m afraid Young Master Zhao may not let them in. Never mind, I’ll talk to him about it later. He’ll give that much face.”

Hmm, didn’t even have to speak of anything else, this Zhao Zhenhao sure had some real culture.

So, fundamentally speaking, Wang Hao didn’t dislike Zhao Zhenhao. At the very least, the guy never looked down on anyone and almost always kept a smile no matter what, which was really quite rare.

…

Zhao Zhenhao returned from the restroom rather quickly this time, taking around five minutes before sitting back at his seat with a smile.

Wang Hao suddenly felt that this guy must believe in “Brother Chun”; there’s no way he could have bounced back so quickly, full health and everything—if he’d thrown up a couple more times, by now he would have been exhausted…

Sure enough, sons of big families are more impressive!

After Zhao Zhenhao returned, the three of them ate a bit before Bai Yaning said, “Mr. Zhao, a few friends of Wang Hao would like to come and sit with us. I wonder if you could let them in.”

“Just call me Zhenhao, no need to be so formal,” Zhao Zhenhao, as if nothing had happened, responded with sangfroid. Everything before seemed as if it never occurred, he was still so composed, nodding his head, “Mr. Wang’s friends are of course not a problem. Don’t worry, when they arrive I will let them in.”

Since he brought up the topic, Zhao Zhenhao took the opportunity to follow up. He looked at Bai Yaning, smiling, “By the way, speaking of which, it’s rare for me to have dinner with Miss Yaning and Mr. Wang tonight, so I especially invited a few friends to come join us for a meal, to chat, and liven things up a bit.”

Since the host had agreed to Wang Hao’s friends coming over, it would seem bad if Bai Yaning declined his invitation, so she nodded, “That’s fine, I don’t mind.”

With Bai Yaning’s approval, everything was naturally worry-free.

Soon after, the entrance to the hall opened, and three people, two men and a woman, walked in.

Both men were in suits and shoes. The man on the left wasn’t very tall and sported a buzz cut, with a slash scar about five centimeters long on his right cheek, his eyes scanning around constantly.

The man on the right looked to be in his forties, a chubby guy with good maintenance showing, walking with a swagger—what’s this? How is Mr. Zhao, Zhao Zhenhao, inviting such a character to make an appearance?

The woman was dressed in an evening gown, looking to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight, with average looks, but possessing a unique charm in her every move. Even if Wang Hao didn’t know her, he could tell she was definitely the artistic-type, exuding a literary air!

When these three walked in, it didn’t take long for them to spot Wang Hao’s table. The man on the left suddenly brightened up and moved forward, extending his hand first: “Ah, Mr. Zhao is so busy yet honored me with an invitation, I’m truly flattered, haha. Mr. Zhao, it’s been months since we last met, hope all is well!”
