Young Master Wu's full name was Wu Hui, and he ran some "unknown" businesses in Shangjing.
He was involved in many industries, such as finance, real estate, energy, film, internet, and so on. Anything that could make money, Young Master Wu definitely had a share in it.
Wu Hui's business was very big, but he usually didn't run it under his own name, so there were very few people who really knew his name.
For example, business moguls like Ning Zhongguo and Zhou Haisheng who started from scratch, although they were rich, that was all there was to it.
In China, money was not the only thing that mattered.
The Chinese language was broad and profound, and the term "Young Master" in ancient times generally referred to scholars or young men from wealthy families.
In the past, this term was a form of respect and a compliment.
But in modern times, the term "Young Master" seemed to have a derogatory connotation, just like the Four Young Masters of the Capital.
Just like the term "Emperor", anyone could joke and say that they were the Emperor, but in the past, it would be a crime punishable by death.
The so-called Four Young Masters of the Capital, in the eyes of people like Wu Hui, were actually similar to clowns, insects that could be trampled to death with one foot.
How could a few nouveau riches be worthy of the title of Four Young Masters of the Capital?
Of course, disdain was disdain, but Wu Hui wouldn't bother with ordinary people for no reason.
Because they didn't have contact with them, many people's understanding of the second generation of rich and powerful people might be one-sided, thinking that they were all mud that couldn't support the wall.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to sons that know how to dig holes.
In reality, most of the second generation were very outstanding.
After all, their parents were very outstanding, and the education that these second generation received from a young age was far better than ordinary people, so in terms of personal quality, cultivation, and knowledge, the outstanding second generation could be said to be dragons and phoenixes among men.
As for the nouveau riches like Li Tianer and Yao Jiaxin, who caused a huge sensation in society, they could only be compared to ordinary people.
If they were placed in the real circle of second generation, this kind of trash wouldn't even have the qualifications to carry shoes for others.
Wu Hui had shares in B16, so the waiter told him about the arrival of Qin Yongwang's family.
Qin Yongwang took a glass of juice and clinked it with Wu Hui, then introduced his family to him one by one.
When it was Chen Xi's turn, before Qin Yongwang could introduce him, Wu Hui laughed and said, "This … Could you be Mr. Chen?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi stood up with the juice in his hand. He nodded and said, "Hello."
"Hello, hello. I've heard a lot about Mr Chen. I didn't expect Mr Chen to be so much younger than I thought …"
After confirming Chen Xi's identity, Wu Hui immediately lowered his posture. When they clinked glasses, he deliberately lowered his glass to give Chen Xi enough face.
However, this seemingly polite action of his attracted Qin Yongwang's attention.
Although it was said that the Hua Hua Sedan Chair was always carried by people, and the brothers on the Imperial Golden List were ranked first.
But no matter what, Wu Hui was still a third generation of the Red Army, and his' age 'was also a few years older than Chen Xi. Therefore, according to common sense, there was no reason for him to lower his status in front of Chen Xi.
Something was strange.
Wu Hui politely toasted everyone in the room. Even the little girl raised her glass of juice and clinked glasses with him.
Then, Qin Yongwang invited him to take a seat.
After he sat down, Qin Yongwang did not beat around the bush. He directly asked the question in his heart, "Mr. Wu, today is the first day of the New Year. Why aren't you celebrating the New Year with your family? Why are you here instead?"
Hearing this, Wu Hui did not hide it. He smiled and said, "Director Qin, it's not a coincidence that I met your family here today. In fact, I came here after I received the news."
"Oh? Why? "
"For Mr Chen."
As soon as he said this, Chen Xi suddenly became the focus of the room.
Even Qin Ruoying was a little confused. When did Chen Xi get in touch with Wu Hui, who represented the new generation of power in Hua Xia?
"For me?"
Not only was Qin Ruoying confused, but even Chen Xi himself was confused.
Therefore, he immediately asked, "Mr. Wu, this is the first time we've met. I'm a little confused by your words."
"Mr Chen, it's true that this is the first time we've met, but I've been fascinated by you for a long time …"
Wu Hui looked at Chen Xi meaningfully and finally said the purpose of his visit. "Actually, I came here today to ask for a favor. Not only am I representing myself, but I'm also representing my father …"
"Go ahead."
After hearing Wu Hui's serious words, Chen Xi did not feel anything, so he casually nodded.
However, the more Qin Yongwang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. The expression on his face could not help but become more serious.
At this time, the smile on Wu Hui's face gradually disappeared.
He looked at Chen Xi and said solemnly, "My grandfather's physical condition is getting worse and worse. I heard that Mr Chen has the ability to understand the world, so I took the liberty to come here today to disturb you. I only hope that Mr Chen can save my grandfather!"
After that, Wu Hui got up and bowed respectfully to Chen Xi.
The reason why he was so polite in front of Chen Xi was actually not because of Chen Xi's identity as a celestial being, but because — —
The King of Hell was worried.
How many powerful second generations were there in Hua Xia?
After careful calculation, it was actually not far from the truth.
There were seven senior officials, seventy-two deputy national officials, at least two hundred and seventy senior officials, and at least one thousand and seven hundred deputy ministers.
These people formed the pyramid of power in Hua Xia.
Only their children could be called the real second generation of power.
A civilian like Li Dan Jiang, who enjoyed the treatment of a major general through singing, was nothing in front of these leaders with real power.
Wu Hui was also one of the most outstanding people among the second generation of the Quan family.
However, the reason why the Wu family was so prosperous now was not because of his father, but because of his grandfather.
Although the old man had been retired for a long time, his connections were still there. As long as Old Man Wu did not pass away, the Wu family would be able to live in Shangjing and even Hua Xia for a day longer.
Wu Hui's father was called Wu Ying. He was sixty-two years old this year, and happened to be stuck at a very awkward time.
Here, it had to be mentioned that Hua Xia's "chaotic" retirement system had to be mentioned.
When the new Party Congress was held, only people under the age of sixty-seven (including sixty-seven) were eligible to become members of the new Politburo.
And those over the age of sixty-seven, regardless of their ability or political achievements, were all treated as retirees.
If anything happened to Old Man Wu in these two years, then Wu Ying was likely to stay in his current position until he retired.
Perhaps he would be promoted again, but what awaited Wu Ying would be the vice-chairman of the National People's Congress, or other similar positions.
They were all at the deputy national level, but in reality, these positions were not as good as the senior officials with real power.
Although they were promoted, they were actually demoted. Even if they were promoted, they would only retire to the second level.
Not to mention Wu Ying, even Wu Hui could not accept this situation.
If Wu Ying could not pass this hurdle, then the Wu family's current glory would disappear with the old man's passing.
