Chapter 145: Rising Fame
It was as if he had done something insignificant. With a big smile, Deputy Chief Jiang began chatting with Wang Wen after giving the order. “All our team members have reached the 250th floor, thanks to your strategy, but I don’t know how to thank you.”
Wang Wen shook his head and ended the conversation. Looking around at the people detained in the detention room, he asked, “Are you okay? They appear to be a group. Aren’t you concerned that the higher-ups will hold you accountable for arresting them?”
Deputy Chief Jiang snorted. “Let’s not even get started on the fact that they were only a few small fries. The Yuelun Group is also a small-scale enterprise. We now have five experts who have reached the 250th floor. We’re not afraid of a few monkeys.”
“Wow, what a tone!” Wang Wen gave him a thumbs up.
Deputy Chief Jiang smiled. He said, “Are you here to make everyone happy? It can’t be because of those small fries, right? We would still be on your side even if we didn’t have that hotpot!”
“There is definitely something there.” Wang Wen took the spoon and placed the beef in the pot.
Deputy Chief Jiang was taken aback. He paused for a moment as if he was undecided. “Go ahead,” he said with a nod.
Wang Wen smiled as he looked at his solemn expression. He took a large piece of cooked beef and placed it in his mouth. He said, “Please assist me in registering. I just exited the tower. I’m now on the 300th floor.”
Deputy Chief Jiang sighed with relief. He laughed. “Damn, why did you have to travel all this way for that?”
He paused for a fraction of a second.
His pupils dilated. “What did you say? I thought you were only on the 100th floor?”
“I got lucky.” Wang Wen blew on the fresh and tender chicken drumstick before putting it in his mouth. Then, he answered the phone, which had been ringing a few times.
“I didn’t disturb your rest, did I?” Chen Hansheng asked. He was on the other end of the phone. “Our group’s top experts had heard about your story and admired you greatly. They wanted to pay you a personal visit. “I hope you can allow them the opportunity to learn from you.”
Wang Wen laughed as he swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked, “You don’t have to be so polite, Old Chen. You just got out of the tower too; you don’t need to rest? Why are you so worried?”
“No way, no how.” Chen Hansheng was not embarrassed and laughed out loud. Then he abruptly changed the subject, saying mysteriously, “Let me tell you that she’s a great beauty!”
Wang Wen raised his brows in silence. “Why do you always go back and forth like that? There is always some beauty. I had hoped to meet her, but she vanished because she was such a stunning beauty.”
“Hey, no. It was my fault; I spoke too quickly. At my age, I can’t guess what young people are thinking.” Chen Hansheng apologized quickly. He said, “Let’s not go there, Mr. A. We just want to meet and talk so that our group can learn from you and strive to reach a higher level.”
To be completely honest, Wang Wen only joked with the other party.
It was unprofessional of him to be so humble.
As a result, he paused for a moment before saying, “Tell me what time. I will find you at your group’s building.”
The person on the other end of the phone said, “I don’t need you to go there. You can just give me a location if that is more convenient. We willcome right now.”
“That is also acceptable. I am currently eating dinner in the Regional Security Department’s hall, next to the Fifth Region’s academy. You are welcome to come here.” After Wang Wen finished speaking, another number appeared on his phone.
“I have a call coming in. Talk to you later,” he said to Chen Hansheng, looking at the caller ID. After that, he hung up the phone.
He took the other call.
Mo Ran’s voice was flat. “Are you free? I will introduce you to the group’s Young Master. We can also discuss the tower.”
Wang Wen apologized to him, saying, “I am sorry for not informing you sooner. I killed someone in the tower, so I am banning the tower for a month. For the time being, I can’t take anyone into the tower.”
The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a brief moment before saying, “It doesn’t matter. It is fine as long as you are willing to take care of it. It makes no difference if it is a month later.”
Was that not enough?
That piqued Wang Wen’s interest. What was it that made such a powerful team leader as Mo Ran so opposed to it?
“Can you tell me why you were so opposed to bringing the young master yourself?” he asked.
For a brief moment, the other end of the phone remained silent and scolded, “It’s none of your business! You are not permitted to break your promise to me!”
“All right, okay, okay.” Wang Wen withdrew in defeat.
The conversation was over.
Deputy Chief Jiang’s perked-up ears dropped.
When the first call came in, he noticed that the name of the address book displayed on the phone was “Boai Chen Hansheng.”
Wang Wen handled and transferred the second call with his hand. He could not see anything.
However, based on the content of the conversation, he could approximate some of the specific details as well as the other party’s identity and location.
Words like young masters were commonly used to refer to the group’s senior executives.
What a test!
The two phone calls indicated that people from both groups were attempting to contact Wang Wen.
Who would have guessed that in just a few weeks, Wang Wen had already achieved great success in the outside world?
He was just a college apprentice casually manipulated by the Tiansheng Group and locked up in the Regional Security Department, trying to prove his innocence the first time they met!
Due to his boss’s stupidity, the Regional Security Department passed up an opportunity to work with Wang Wen. Deputy Chief Jiang was both sad and angry as a result of that.
He was angry, sad, sorry, and even envious.
So he pretended to scoop something into the pot before saying casually, “You are now conversing with all the big shots. You have no time to just come and go.”
Wang Wen had just put his phone down.
He could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that.
What was with the tone?
Wang Wen, who had lived for two lifetimes, could not have missed the sourness in the other party’s tone.
He immediately said, “Don’t stay in the Regional Security Department, Old Jiang. Come and work for me.”
Pfft!
Deputy Chief Jiang spat the food back into his bowl.
He sighed as he looked at the mess in the bowl. “That is easy for you to say.”
“How difficult can it be?” Wang Wen asked, perplexed.
Deputy Chief Jiang shook his head and sighed. “It is extremely difficult.”
Wang Wen shut his mouth.
He smiled and made no further attempts to persuade him.
That was the only thing he had to say.
Everyone had their own path in life, and no one could walk in another’s shoes.
After a while, the Regional Security Department fell silent.
Deputy Chief Jiang and Wang Wen ate and drank silently, not saying anything.
After returning, the guards who had locked up the Yuelun Group’s small fries did not dare to breathe loudly. They quietly added ingredients to the pot and ate until they were full.
Then, a black car came to a complete stop in front of the Regional Security Department.
The driver in the front seat and the passenger in the back seat both got out of the car simultaneously and turned around, opening the back door.
Two figures leaned out from each side of the door.
The figure on the outside walked around the back of the car into the Regional Security Department with the waiting figure.
The assistant stepped forward and introduced himself to the on-duty guard.
The guard stationed at the door did not stop them and allowed them to pass easily.
The assistant knelt and extended his hand to help them.
The two figures entered the hall slowly.
The person on the left was in good shape. She was dressed in a lovely half-length skirt, with legs as white as jade, ankles fluttering with butterflies, and soles wearing slender high heels.
When she entered the hall and saw Wang Wen eating hotpot, she screamed with her fiery red lips, “What the f*ck?”
