106: The most influential figures in Jiangcheng are all here in the hall.

Such architecture, whether it was Binjiang Mansion or the Lu Family's villa, could not compare.

"Oh, this is my family's Detached Residence. No one has lived here for a long time."

Xiao Yuhong explained.

If they hadn't come to Jiangcheng this time, they might not have even used it.

Zhang Yu nodded, so that was the case.

The car drove into the courtyard.

Three or four servants were sweeping up the dead branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Seeing them return, they all greeted them respectfully.

"Come, Grandpa, we're going up the steps. Please take it slow."

Xiao Yuhong held Elder Xiao's arm, preparing to enter the house.

"Zhang Yu, follow us. The courtyard is huge, I'm afraid you might get lost."

Listen, what kind of Versailles statement was that?

The emphasis of that sentence wasn't whether he would get lost.

It was that the courtyard was so large that getting lost was easy.

However, a Western-style Building like this was certainly fitting for a heroic model figure like Elder Xiao.

Zhang Yu had nothing to say about this.

A person who looked like a Steward rushed over quickly, as if wind was beneath his feet.

"Old Master, they are here again. They haven't left the Side Hall."

"Aide Guo, didn't we say we weren't seeing them? Why are they still here?"

Xiao Yuhong was slightly displeased.

"Grandpa is plagued by illness, and they still come to bother him every day?"

"Miss, I know, but I couldn't stop them..."

Aide Guo looked slightly wronged.

"Alright, Yuhong, say less." Elder Xiao was in a good mood now. "Since they've come, let's see them."

Aide Guo led the way.

Elder Xiao and Xiao Yuhong walked towards the Side Hall.

After taking two steps, he turned back and said to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, come along too."

"Understood."

He didn't ask why, just nodded and walked behind them.

They arrived at the Side Hall.

They saw several people seated in the hall.

Seeing Elder Xiao appear, they all stood up one after another and bowed respectfully in greeting.

"Old Master Xiao, we finally get to see you."

"You're too kind. You are all influential figures in Jiangcheng, there's no need for such formality."

Elder Xiao chuckled.

The few people straightened up and saw Zhang Yu standing behind Elder Xiao.

Their eyes flashed with immense surprise.

They wondered if their aging eyes were deceiving them, and they had seen incorrectly.

But it was absolutely true, the person behind him was indeed Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu looked at the people in the hall.

The person leading them looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a moment, wasn't that Wu Zhengliang of the Jiangcheng Preparedness Zone?

He had seen him on TV and in the news.

He had raced against his son.

Other than that, they had no other connection, yet he unexpectedly met the man himself at the Xiao Family's Detached Residence.

"Old Master, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

Wu Zhengliang knew that anyone who could appear here alongside the Old Master must be extraordinary.

He also wanted to clarify the relationship between Zhang Yu and the Xiao Family.

"Oh, allow me to introduce him. He is the Great Benefactor who saved me: Zhang Yu."

Elder Xiao said.

"And this gentleman is the Commander of the Jiangcheng Preparedness Zone, Wu Zhengliang."

"Hello."

Zhang Yu and Wu Zhengliang shook hands.

Expressing friendliness.

They acted as if neither had ever known who the other person was before.

The others also introduced themselves one after another.

Among them, there was even Sha Ruikang.

Sha Ruikang actually didn't want to be dragged along here, because he was just a minor character who wouldn't be able to speak. But he had no choice.

Since Jingchu's Superior Officer and Wu Zhengliang, who was of equal rank to that Superior Officer, had both come, he could only come along as a Lackey.

When Sha Ruikang saw Zhang Yu, he completely doubted his life.

What was going on?

Zhang Yu had actually become an Honored Guest of the Xiao Family?

What exactly happened?

There were too many important figures present, so he dared not speak carelessly.

He frantically brainstormed in his mind: Could he have met Xiao Yuhong back at Panshan Mountain?

She happened to be on the mountain that day.

Could the two of them already have a deep relationship and be close friends?

No way, that was too fast. Furthermore, what kind of person was Xiao Yuhong?

He couldn't think of any other possibilities besides this.

"Don't just stand there, sit down and talk."

Old Master Xiao sat down in the Grand Tutor's Chair in the center of the main hall.

The others also sat down on both sides.

The people who came were all prominent and influential figures in Jiangcheng.

They silently arranged their seating according to their actual social status.

Wu Zhengliang was the first person on the left side.

The others sat in sequence, with Sha Ruikang ranked sixth.

"Zhang Yu, come sit over here."

Elder Xiao pointed to the chair near the right side of the center of the hall.

The left side was considered the position of honor.

No one in Jiangcheng was yet qualified to sit in the empty seat on the right.

Even if Wu Zhengliang came, he could only sit below.

But.

When the Old Master gave such an instruction.

The top figures present immediately exploded with shock.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

What was going on?

Old Master Xiao actually told him to sit in the superior position.

This meant that he was more honored than all of them.

Who could understand this?

They were all in their fifties, having dominated Jiangcheng for decades, and were long established as leaders in their respective fields.

Today, they were actually suppressed by a young man in his twenties.

If Elder Xiao hadn't gone senile, then Zhang Yu was truly a formidable character who couldn't be underestimated.

Sha Ruikang didn't mind, because Zhang Yu had no grudges with him.

He had even entrusted his daughter Sasha to him, asking him to help discipline her.

Therefore, theoretically, the higher Zhang Yu's status, the happier he would be.

However, Wu Zhengliang's expression was extremely grim.

He had always been proud and arrogant, believing that in the Xiao Family's hall, no one besides the Old Master could rank above him.

Moreover.

He still believed in his heart that Zhang Yu was the culprit who caused his son, Wu Yilun, to become a Vegetable, and he hadn't even had time to settle the score yet.

And he just sat there, above him?

What was he supposed to do now?

"Oh dear, my Grandpa told you to sit, hurry up and come over."

Xiao Yuhong also spoke to Zhang Yu.

It seemed Grandpa truly viewed him as a Great Benefactor, and she should pay more attention to him in the future.

If he needed anything, as long as she could help, it would be done with just his word.

"Since Elder Xiao has instructed it, then I will be impolite not to accept."

Zhang Yu smiled, then, under the gaze of everyone on both sides, he walked up to the hall and sat down in the right-side position.

"Since everyone is here."

Elder Xiao looked around the scene. "You are all top figures in Jiangcheng. If you have anything to discuss with this Old Man, please speak freely."

The people below looked at each other, unsure how to begin.

"Commander Wu, didn't you submit Visiting Cards several times saying you wanted to see me? Why are you silent now that you've met me?"

Elder Xiao looked toward Wu Zhengliang.

Hearing this, Wu Zhengliang quickly said, "Old Master Xiao, you are my Master's Master. This junior has long admired you. There's nothing specific; I just wanted to pay you a visit!"

What he originally intended to say was something else entirely.

But now, seeing the current situation, he wasn't an idiot—how could he possibly bring it up?

"Is that so?" Elder Xiao frowned.
