Chapter 948 948: Go Invite Master Jiujie!
Chapter 948 948: Go Invite Master Jiujie!
Mr. Su smiled gently and, amidst the crowd's confusion, said to Su Heyuan, "Heyuan, go check if Master Jiujie has woken up.""Huh?"
Su Heyuan was stunned for a moment, "He..."
He wanted to say that before the birthday banquet started, he had already tried various methods to wake up Jiujie, but whether it was because Erguotou was too strong or Jiujie's alcohol tolerance was lacking, he slept like a pig, unable to be awakened.
This was something Old Master was aware of!
Why was he still being sent to wake him?
Su Heyuan was about to explain but before he could speak, Old Master immediately gave him a look.
Before he could understand, Su Wancheng responded first, immediately stepping forward to pull Su Heyuan, saying, "Right, right, almost forgot about Master Jiujie, Heyuan, come with me to check..."
Saying so, they walked outside.
Outside in the corridor, Su Heyuan still did not understand, saying, "Isn't Master Jiujie still drunk? It's not good to disturb his sleep!"
"You fool!"
Su Wancheng stopped and said, "Do you think Old Master doesn't know? He did it on purpose."
"On purpose?" asked Su Heyuan.
"Exactly, that Qin Feng almost made our family lose face, but fortunately Old Master is extraordinarily wise, turning the tables." Su Wancheng said.
"Wouldn't it be simpler just to kill Qin Feng? Everyone here is one of us." Su Heyuan asked, confused.
Hearing this, Su Wancheng slapped the back of his head in exasperation, saying, "Why don't you use your brain when doing things? Qin Feng might not matter, but his Fengyun Group has invested in two major projects, one being the West Mountain Taihu Project, and the other Sea Amusement Park Project in East Sea City with the Nangong Family, both being multi-billion-dollar projects highly prioritized by the authorities. So, we can teach him a lesson but can't go overboard."
"And he disgraced our family at the banquet, even if taught a big lesson, it won't restore our family's dignity or your weakness in Zuoqiu Feng's eyes."
"That's just one aspect."
"The most important is, he can't be touched at all now, can't even be angered!"
"..."
Su Heyuan still didn't understand, blinking his eyes, "Why can't we touch him?"
Su Wancheng sighed and said, "Think for yourself, what did we promise to Master Jiujie from Yun Kong Temple before?"
"...The Golden Buddha!"
At this moment, Su Heyuan suddenly realized, saying, "I understand now, without having the Golden Buddha yet, if Master Jiujie finds out we fooled him, we're completely done! So, Old Master means not only can't we provoke Qin Feng, we also have to buy the Golden Buddha from him!"
"Exactly!" Su Wancheng nodded.
"..."
Su Heyuan let out a long sigh, feeling frustrated, saying, "It means we've completely lost to that bastard Qin Feng today..."
"No, we haven't lost yet." Su Wancheng said with a smile, "Didn't you just say Old Master is extraordinarily wise, instantly reversing the situation."
"What do you mean?" Su Heyuan asked.
"Think carefully, knowing Master Jiujie is drunk and asleep, why did he send us to wake him? Clearly, it was on purpose! His goal wasn't to truly wake Master Jiujie, and until the Golden Buddha is acquired from Qin Feng, he didn't dare have him over, but did it on purpose for everyone to see!" Su Wancheng said.
"For everyone to see?" Su Heyuan still didn't understand.
"Think, if people learn Master Jiujie from Yun Kong Temple is a guest at our family and got drunk, what would they think?" Su Wancheng asked with a smile.
"They'd be immensely envious and admiring!"
Speaking up to this point, Su Heyuan's eyes widened, saying, "I understand now! Master Jiujie sleeping at our house makes everyone assume he has a great relationship with our family, further respecting and admiring us, sweeping away the weakness just shown, elevating our family's reputation further!"
"And what else?" Su Wancheng asked with another smile, "Beyond everyone's perceptions, there are others too?"
"Hahaha..." Su Heyuan became visibly excited, "There's also Qing from Nanshan Residence, and Zuoqiu Feng! If they know we're on good terms with Master Jiujie, Qing will regard us highly too, including Zuoqiu Feng, who won't view us as mere mortals. Old Master really used the 'fox pretending to be a tiger' tactic brilliantly!"
"Cough cough, don't misuse idioms."
Su Wancheng chuckled and continued, "The most crucial advantage, you still haven't figured out."
"The most crucial? Aren't these benefits enough? What else?"
Su Heyuan asked, puzzled.
Su Wancheng replied with a smile, "Think, if Qin Feng believes we have a great relationship with Master Jiujie, how would he react?"
Pausing to think, Su Heyuan's eyes opened wide with excitement, "He'd be afraid!!"
"Exactly!"
Su Wancheng smiled confidently, "No matter how formidable or arrogant he may be, can he surpass Yun Kong Temple? If he thinks we're close with the future heir of Yun Kong Temple, drinking and sleeping at our house, he'll regret being arrogant at our family, be intimidated, and perhaps even admire us. Then, when our family discusses the Golden Buddha with him, he might sell it cheaply to us. We'll then gift it to Master Jiujie, achieving perfection!"
"Ingenious, really ingenious! Seems Old Master indeed is incredible!"
Su Heyuan said excitedly.
Su Wancheng also showed a look of pride at this moment, saying, "Our family reigning as the leading Su City family relies on extraordinary wisdom. Next, we just need to linger here for a while, pretending to have invited Master Jiujie."
…
The banquet hall.
As expected by Su Wancheng, everyone was shocked.
"Mr. Su, you just said...the last guest is Master Jiujie?" One person asked incredulously, eyes wide.
"Yes."
Mr. Su looked delighted, very satisfied with their astonished expressions.
"The heir to Yun Kong Temple, Master Jiujie??"
That person asked again.
"Exactly."
Mr. Su responded proudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in disbelief, saying, "Mr. Su, you've even invited Master Jiujie, really impressive!"
"Indeed! I've heard Master Jiujie rarely descends the mountain. Even a Beijing bigshot invited him before but couldn't; now, he's actually visiting the Su Family!"
"The Su Family is truly formidable!"
Other people remarked in surprise.
Mr. Su waved his hand with a humble expression, saying, "All because of Heyuan's connection; he and Jiujie are friends, drinking together two days ago."
Everyone was even more amazed.
Drinking with Master Jiujie, how honorable is that!
"I've always said Young Master Su truly is outstanding, like a Dragon and Phoenix among people, indeed!"
Everyone flattered.
