His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 194

After a brief restructuring, Fatty Huang took over the Guo Family enterprises at Hanover City. In less than a week, they were reopened for business.

Fatty Huang wanted a quick boom for his enterprises, so he made an effort to invite Hanover City's rich and powerful, through Big Brother Qian, for a grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After the lively ribbon- cutting ceremony, a banquet was prepared for them to feast, drink, and be merry.

This banquet was attended by more than seventy percent of Hanover City's elite. Most of the who's who of the town were present, to pay their respects to Fatty Huang, and of course many were there in deference to Hubert Qian. After all, Hubert Qian was one of the two elders of Hanover City.

At the outset of the banquet, Fatty Huang made a simple toast. Thereafter, the various guests prepared to make toasts of felicitations in return.

They held up their wine glasses and walked over with smiles plastered on their faces.

After toasting to Fatty Huang by downing their wine and clinking their glasses, they proceeded to his side, where Hubert Qian and Fade Chen were sitting.

The invited guests walked respectfully towards the both of them, taking the initiative to introduce themselves and also giving them toasts in veneration, expressing their deepest congratulations to them.

By this time, everyone was aware of the relationship between Big Brother Qian and his guest of honor, Mr. Chen. Therefore, they did not hesitate to give their compliments in the hopes of gaining favor with them.

As the guests were toasting and making their rounds, there was a small interruption. As Chessca Tan and her father came by to make their toast, Chessca Tan suddenly knelt down and groveled before Fade Chen, apologizing fervently and begging him for forgiveness.

In actual fact, Fade Chen had already forgotten about Chessca Tan. However, her actions reinforced Fade Chen's feeling of revulsion towards her. He felt that she was way too pretentious.

Therefore, Fade Chen did not accept the drink when she toasted him, but directly made a gesture with his hand for her to leave.

Seeing this, Chessca Tan and her father instantly turned pale and left the banquet crestfallen.

Although this was only a minor slight on his part, Mr. Chen's attitude was seen as an indicator of Hubert Qian's inclinations. Many people of power and status would be hesitant to collaborate with the Tan family in the future.

After this episode, the toasting of the guests continued, round after round. Although Fatty Huang was considered good at holding his liquor, he became rather drunk and his face was flushed bright red. In the end, he required assistance to be carried home for a rest.

Hubert Qian and Fade Chen were still sober as a judge, able to hold their liquor without a problem. In particular, Fade Chen, after downing many glasses of wine, still did not turn red, nor did his heartbeat quicken at all. He remained completely unaffected.

Observing this, Hubert Qian's sense of shock was amplified, and his admiration for the abilities of Lunatic Chen increased.

Finally, after the toasting ceremony was over, Hubert Qian stood up and raised his glass. He said in a clear voice, "I would like to thank all of you for coming today. You are all here to witness something extraordinary."

Everyone felt a sense of curiosity and could not understand Hubert Qian's words.

Then, they saw Hubert Qian with his raised glass, turning around to face Fade Chen. He proceeded to bow in a deferential manner. Finally, he clasped the glass with both hands and said, "I, Hubert Qian, would like to propose a toast in honor of Mr. Chen."

With those words, Hubert Qian downed the wine in his raised cup in one big chug.

Witnessing this, the crowd was stunned and looked on with an expression of incredulity.

Although they had heard that Hubert Qian treated Fade Chen like a venerable guest of honor and had the utmost respect for him, they were not expecting him to be so respectful towards Fade Chen. They did not anticipate such a personal toast to Fade Chen from him in the presence of the rich and powerful of Hanover City.
