A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 634 Ma Ming-Bo's Friend

What?

Someone not even Chen Nan could compare to?

Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng were both surprised when they heard Ma Ming-Bo.

They knew that Chen Nan's father was Chen Ao.

Although Master Li Er was at the apex of his power, Chen Ao was widely recognized as second only to Mr Chu in Jiangdong.

But Ma Ming-Bo said they were about to meet someone more influential than Chen Nan.

Wasn't he implying that the Chen family couldn't compare to this person?

"Is it Mr Chu?" asked Su Qian excitedly at the thought.

In her heart, she was so excited that her face almost flushed red.

She resembled a fan girl who had just met her idol.

"Calm down. You're making it look like you are meeting your future husband," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she rolled her eyes at Su Qian.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was completely speechless.

She didn't expect her bestie to be such a huge fan of Mr Chu.

After making a turn, the three of them arrived outside a private room.

Two security guards stopped them at the door.

"I'm Ma Ming-Bo. I was invited by Mr Xu for dinner," said Ma Ming-Bo right away.

Then the security guards glanced at Ma Ming-Bo before saying deeply, "One moment, please. Let me check with Mr Xu."

"It's fine. Let Ming-Bo in," came a languid yet stern voice from inside the private room.

The guards stopped holding them back and let them in.

The room was decorated lavishly.

A man around Ma Ming-Bo's age sat leaning on the couch in a bathrobe. He used one hand to play with his phone and the other to play with a sexy woman in his lap.

"Chang-Qing, you haven't changed one bit after all these years. Stop it. I have some ladies with me."

Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng quickly averted their eyes from this indecent scene. Ma Ming-Bo bitterly laughed as he reprimanded him.

"Haha! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were bringing ladies over. My apologies."

The man clearly didn't expect Ma Ming-Bo to come with ladies, so he instantly laughed apologetically.

He went back to the bedroom and got changed before walking over again.

But the sexy girl Xu Chang-Qing had in his arms was dismissed.

"Was that your girlfriend?" asked Ma Ming-Bo softly as he watched the sexy girl leave from behind.

Xu Chang-Qing sneered, "She's just a secretary, so definitely not. If she wants to marry into the Xu family, it's going to take way more than good looks and a hot body. Let's not talk about her. Ming-Bo, aren't you going to introduce your friends to me?"

Ma Ming-Bo nodded. Then he introduced Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian.

"Qianqian and Mu-Cheng, this is a classmate of mine from my days as a postgraduate in Yanjing University, Xu Chang-Qing. He hails from an influential family in the capital. He manages the Mount Yunyang Hot Spring Festival, so I managed to get tickets because of him. Also, he's the one who decides on the hot spring allocation later," introduced Ma Ming-Bo with a smile.

"An influential family from the capital?"

Ma Ming-Bo's words sent Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng into a slight shock. A slight look of fear and gravity rose in Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes.

They finally realized what Ma Ming-Bo meant when he said this man's background surpassed even Chen Nan's.

The fact that he was from an influential family from the capital meant he surpassed the King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao. Even Mr Chu might have to be wary of him. Since Yanjing was the capital of China, one tiny Jiangdong couldn't rival it!

Although Su Qian was still recovering from the shock at how well-connected Ma Ming-Bo was, she kept thanking Xu Chang-Qing, "Thanks, Mr Xu! Mu-Cheng and I wouldn't have the chance to come to Mount Yunyang to enjoy the hot springs if it weren't for you." "Oh no, no, you're being too formal with me. Since you are Ming-Bo's friends, I consider you my friends too. In the future, feel free to let me know if you need help. Also, just call me Chang-Qing. There's no need to call me 'Mr Xu'. It puts so much distance between us," said Xu Chang-Qing enthusiastically. Even though he came from an influential family, he didn't have any airs.

After all, only a fool would put on airs before two stunning ladies like them.

After taking some time to catch up with one another, Xu Chang-Qing checked the time and decided it was time the festival commenced.

"Miss Su, don't worry. Since I've known Ming-Bo for years, I won't give you a lousy hot spring," said Xu Chang-Qing with a smile, making Ma Ming-Bo look really good.

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian couldn't say anything else except thank him again.

Ma Ming-Bo told them to go to the hall and wait while he stayed behind and chatted with Xu Chang-Qing alone.

"What? Did some fool dare to covet your woman? Ming-Bo, you can count on me. I will ensure he is disgraced and avenge this insult!" said Xu Chang-Qing as he patted his chest.

Xu Chang-Qing and Ma Ming-Bo were very close when they were in university. Despite not seeing each other in so long, they still valued their friendship just as much.

"Thanks, Chang-Qing. Just a small lesson will do. That brat has the protection of Chen Nan, so I'm afraid..."

"The Chen family? The so-called King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao?" interrupted Xu Chang-Qing with a sneer before Ma Ming-Bo could finish. "He is just the leader of some goons. He's nothing in comparison to the Xu family!"

"Ming-Bo, just stay out of it. I don't care what his background is. I must make him pay dearly for provoking my friend. Except for that person, there is no one else I fear in Jiangdong," said Xu Chang-Qing loftily.

Then the two left the room and headed to the hall.

"Everyone, free time is over. I think everyone is here now. As for those that haven't turned up, there's no point waiting at this hour. In a moment, orders will be passed for Mount Yunyang to be cordoned off. People will only be permitted to leave but will not be able to come in!"

After Xu Chang-Qing entered the hall, he got onto the stage, and his bright and dignified voice echoed through the hall.

Everyone's attention was on Xu Chang-Qing.

Everyone was clearly curious about his identity.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Xu Chang-Qing. I'm in charge of Mount Yunyang hot springs. In a moment, I will allocate the hot springs!"

What?

"Is that Xu Chang-Qing?'

"Is he in charge of Mount Yunyang?"

"He is surprisingly young!"

Everyone kept expressing their surprise.

After all, Mount Yunyang's hot springs was a multi-billion dollar business.

Each ticket was worth almost $10 million, and it was hard to come by!

Every festival made almost a multi-billion turnover.

So everyone was surprised to see that such a young man operated this business.

"Xu Chang-Qing? Is his surname Xu? That's odd since there aren't any famous Xu families in Jiangdong," said Chen Nan quizzically in a soft tone as she frowned. Shen Fei shook his head and said, "He's not from Jiangdong, but the capital, Yanjing!"

What?
