City B.

City Clerk's Office.

"A bunch of trash, they can't even handle such a thing!"

A middle-aged man with side-parted hair and black-rimmed glasses threw away the newspaper in his hand, with a sullen and angry look on his face.

Xiang Qusheng, Secretary W of City B, is also Xiang Dong’s third uncle.

"Third uncle, do you believe what I say this time? This Wei Xiaobao is not a good person. If he is allowed to continue, he will definitely be the biggest disaster in Kyoto. You can't watch Kyoto be destroyed in the hands of such a person, right?"

Xiang Dong looked at Xiang Qusheng's angry face and deliberately fanned the flames.

"I haven't talked about you yet! You've been idle all day long, and if you don't know how to find something to do, you'll get into trouble. If your father finds out, he'll have to skin you!"

Xiang Qusheng glared at Xiang Dong in front of him, not looking good.

"Third uncle, please don't tell him that I am your nephew. I can't ask the old man to come forward personally for this matter, right? Don't let the old man think that third uncle can't even deal with a young boy. Then when the time comes

Third uncle will lose face in the Xiang family."

Xiangdong shrank his neck. Although he was begging for mercy, he was trying to criticize his third uncle with words both inside and outside of his words.

"Xiao Zhang, go check these media and see what benefits they receive. Otherwise, how could you listen to Wei Xiaobao so much!"

Xiang Qusheng turned to look at a frightened young man with fair skin standing not far away, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Xiang Secretary."

The young man nodded and left the office in a hurry.

Zhang Qian, Xiang Qusheng’s secretary.

"You should calm down for now and stop causing trouble for me. Wait until I investigate clearly!"

After Zhang Qian left, Xiang Qusheng looked at Xiangdong again and said loudly.

"Okay, as long as Third Uncle is willing to help me this time, I will definitely not cause any trouble to Third Uncle in the future. Then I'll leave first."

Xiangdong smiled, waved his hand, and left the office.

"Mud can't hold up a wall. If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't bother to care about your nonsense!"

After watching Xiang Dong leave his office, Xiang Qusheng gritted his teeth and cursed, apparently not wanting to see his nephew.

...

Ancient style hall.

Located in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, it is the location of a famous ancient family in Kyoto.

"Recently, City Z government has visited and investigated an emerging enterprise many times and praised its business model. This is the first time City Z government has publicly supported an enterprise..."

On the TV in the living room, a piece of news that was no longer considered news was being played.

An old man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and a majestic face was watching TV in a trance. He seemed to be thinking about something, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Do you know this person?"

The old man said slowly while watching TV.

"I met him twice."

A handsome young man was standing in front of the window and responded slowly. He was looking outside and listening carefully to the reports on the TV.

It was none other than one of the Four Young Masters of Kyoto, Gu Haotian.

"What do you think of him?"

The old man asked.

"I don't know, I can't tell clearly. He seems to be a multi-faceted person, but I can see that he is a very emotional person and a person who only does things based on his own preferences. He is very courageous and direct."

Gu Haotian thought for a moment and said slowly.

"The praise is very high. You rarely praise someone like this, especially your peers."

The old man raised his head, glanced at Gu Haotian standing in front of the window, and said in surprise.

"To be honest, he has a kind of charm, which should be something that a strong person is born with. It makes people want to be his friend. Even if they can't be friends, they don't want to be enemies."

Gu Haotian said seriously.

"Then are you friends?"

The old man asked again, seeming very interested.

"have no idea."

Gu Haotian shook his head. Although they had met twice and had a drunken night together, he couldn't see through him, let alone whether he was his friend.

"Since you don't know, it means you haven't done enough to qualify as his friend. If you really want to be friends with him, you have to let him see your sincerity. Friends are not just words.

"

The old man said earnestly, seeming to be implying something.

"I see."

Gu Haotian nodded, turned around and walked out, as if he planned to do it now.

"Grandpa, why are you so interested in him? What benefit does it bring to you to let me be his friend?"

Gu Haotian suddenly stopped when he reached the door, turned around and looked at the old man sitting on the sofa, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Don't worry, just do it, I won't hurt him."

The old man whom Gu Haotian called grandpa smiled and answered lightly.

Gu Haotian hesitated for a moment, frowned, and continued walking out.

"I'm going back to the military area tomorrow."

The old man glanced at Gu Haotian, who was about to open the door and leave, and said something.

Gu Haotian, who was walking out, paused and left Gufeng Hall.

Gu Haotian comes from a military family, and his father holds an important position in the military, but the most powerful one is his grandfather, who is the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region and the highest-ranking military commander in the country.

However, such a military family was discontinued only in his generation, because Gu Haotian was born with a heart malformation and could not bear the military life in the army. This has always been a pain point for the Gu family.

...

Phoenix Island.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Gu Haotian sitting opposite him with a smile on his lips.

"What's the matter? Are you so anxious to invite me here because you didn't drink enough wine that day and you want to have another drink?"

After listening to Wei Xiaobao's words, Gu Haotian smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Wei, you are joking. I can't handle your drinking. If anyone dares to tell you that you will never return home until you are drunk, then he is either a fool or an idiot."

Gu Haotian smiled bitterly and shook his head. The drink he drank that day was the most he had ever drunk. When he woke up the next day, he couldn't remember anything and his mind was blank.

"That's why I rarely stay drunk with others, lest others turn around and blackmail me. You are the first person who made me completely break my drinking habit."

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said seriously.

"That's my honor."

Gu Haotian smiled and nodded, with a sincere look on his face.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wei Xiaobao looked at Gu Haotian and returned to the theme.

"There is a party in two days. I wonder if Brother Wei would like to attend?"

Gu Haotian asked with a smile.

"What party?"

Wei Xiaobao was a little confused. He didn't know why Gu Haotian suddenly wanted to invite him to a party. He didn't know many people in Kyoto, and every party he attended didn't seem to be peaceful.

"It's just a simple party, attended by some of the more accomplished people among the younger generation in Kyoto."

Gu Haotian explained with a smile.

"Is he a successful person like Brother Gu?"

Wei Xiaobao laughed and joked.

"Brother Wei is joking. Compared with you, I am not a successful person."

Gu Haotian waved his hands repeatedly and shook his head with a smile. But he was a little happy in his heart because this was the first time Wei Xiaobao called him 'Brother Gu'.

"Okay, I'll just go and learn more about it."

Wei Xiaobao readily agreed.
