Chapter 2038: Win Those Foreign Gamblers’ Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In addition, Gu Ning became successful on her own and never hurt them, so they had no reason to attack or defame her. It was amoral and there were more good people than bad people.

Gu Ning also kept a good relations.h.i.+p with many powerful figures. If they still dared to cause her trouble, they would be ridiculously stupid. If they were stupid, they couldn’t stay rich for long.

However, if bad people were extraordinarily skilled and influential, it would be another story. After all, the weak were always the prey of the strong in this society and power could solve many problems.

It was the absolute rule.

People unavoidably had grudges with others when they climbed up the social ladder. Therefore, one needed enough evidence to unseat a powerful figure by working with his opponent.

Nevertheless, it was hard to collect enough criminal evidence on a powerful figure, so it wasn’t easy.

Gu Ning was an exception. She was outstanding on her own and had good luck, so it became very easy for her to unseat powerful people.

Even if many people were talking about the official establishment of the Shengning Organization and Gu Ning’s relations.h.i.+p with super powerful figures, there were still some who took her lightly. She only had a relations.h.i.+p with them and they weren’t her family after all.

Sometimes, connections could be helpful, but they wouldn’t be helpful every time.

Yuan Yilin, Yuan Shuyan, and Rong Zechen who had grudges against Gu Ning held that idea.

They had to admit that Gu Ning was very outstanding, but they couldn’t appreciate her because of their arguments. On the contrary, they disliked her very much.

Gu Ning had a relations.h.i.+p with Master Leng, so they didn’t dare to mess with her, but it didn’t mean they were afraid of her.

…

The next day.

Because the news conference would be held at the next day, Tang Yunfan and Tang Haifeng came to the capital that afternoon. So Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to pick them up at the airport.

Along with Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan were Tang Jiakai and Cao Wenxin. Tang Jiakai came simply because it was fun, while Cao Wenxin showed up on behalf of the Cao family because Tang Yunrong and her husband weren’t free.

In fact, even if Cao Wenxin wasn’t the representative of the Cao family, she would still come. She had enough free time anyway. Most importantly, Gu Ning was her closest cousin, so she had to come even if she had to make time.

Tang Haifeng and the others came with four bodyguards, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting drove two MPVs over.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sat in the same one, while the other was driven by a chauffeur.

Tang Haifeng and the others flew with a private plane, so Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning drove inside through an exclusive pa.s.sage after they arrived. Given Leng Shaoting’s status, he could directly go in after showing his officer certificate.

When the staff at the airport saw Leng Shaoting’s officer certificate, they were all amazed. To their surprise, there was such a young major general in their country.

The military was different from the government where one could get promoted through connections. Even if a soldier had connections, he or she still needed outstanding abilities to get a promotion. At least it required more than just connections to get a high rank in the military.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to wait at the parking place after driving through the exclusive pa.s.sage. Tang Haifeng and other people wouldn’t arrive until 20 minutes later, so they chatted casually in the car.

After a while, Gu Ning received a call from Ye Chaoxiong.

Seeing Ye Chaoxiong’s name on the screen, Gu Ning immediately figured out the reason why he called her. If she guessed correctly, it should be about the gambling party He Siyin had told her about.

“Hi, Master Ye.” Gu Ning answered the call.

“Miss Gu, I bet the He family must have shared the news with you. The Ye family is going to hold a grand gambling party at the end of this year. Many famous foreign gamblers will come and the bet will be a lot of money. If you have time, please come and join us to have some fun,” said Ye Chaoxiong. He knew Gu Ning’s abilities very well, so he obviously invited her to win a fortune.

Moreover, he also hoped that Gu Ning could defeat those foreign gamblers, but it depended on whether Gu Ning would be free.

“Sure, I’ll come if I have time,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t accept or reject the invitation right away, because she had no idea what she would do at the end of this year.

After chatting with Ye Chaoxiong for a while, she hung up.

Leng Shaoting didn’t ask her about it.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the Tang family’s private jet landed. So Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got out of their car and went to welcome them.

“Hi, grandpa, dad.”

“Welcome, Grandpa Tang, Uncle Tang.”

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting greeted them, then went to support Tang Haifeng at once.

Because Gu Ning hadn’t seen Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan for a long time, she was very excited to meet them again.

“Hi, Ningning, Shaoting.”

Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan were happy to see Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting as well. The smile never disappeared from their faces.

“Hi, Wenxi, Jiakai!”

Gu Ning turned to greet Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai afterwards, while Leng Shaoting simply gave them a nod.

“Hi, Ningning, Shaoting!” Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai greeted them. Facing Leng Shaoting, they felt a little nervous.

“Grandpa Tang, Uncle Tang, my grandfather has already booked a room. We can directly go there now,” said Leng Shaoting.

Master Leng heard that Tang Haifeng would come in person, so he had already booked a private room to welcome them.

Master Leng also called Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu. Shangguan Yang was also invited.

Now Shangguan Yang was already Gu Ning’s master, so he felt it was necessary to introduce Shangguan Yang to Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunfan.

It wasn’t convenient for Jing Yunyao to show up in public, so she didn’t go with them.

“Great.” Tang Haifeng and Tang Yunhang agreed. In fact, before they came here, Master Leng had given Tang Haifeng a call and he had already accepted the invitation.

After that, they got in the cars and left together.

Tang Haifeng and the others sat in Leng Shaoting’s car, so did Gu Ning, while the 4 bodyguards sat in another.

Because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were present, there wouldn’t be any problems even if the bodyguards weren’t by their side.

They went to dine at the Shengs.h.i.+ Hotel because it was owned by the Leng family.

Before they arrived, Master Leng and his friends were already present. As the host, they naturally couldn’t keep their guests waiting for them.

Once Tang Yunfan and Tang Haifeng showed up, they introduced themselves to each other.

Tang Haifeng, Tang Yunfan, and Master Xu were actually familiar with each other because all of them were tyc.o.o.ns.. They had attended many business gatherings, so they weren’t strange to one another.
