Leading his team to Jade City, Fade just got off the plane.
Sasha Li, the president of Li Group, the largest company in Jade City, was waiting outside with a group of people.
"Why are you here?" He looked at her.
After more than two years of training, the wilful young lady had become much more mature.
She was dressed in a professional suit with her hair tied up in a low bun. Her face looked slightly serious with her black framed glasses. All these made her look less childish and arrogant than she used to be. She appeared to be much more mature and intellectual now.
Facing him, she was very respectful. She bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen, it's been a while since you came to Jade City. Of course I have to welcome you in person." "I have arranged a hotel for your stay. You may all head there for a rest immediately," she continued.
He glanced at the tired faces of the team members behind him and nodded. "Okay, well follow you."
"Alright!"
Sasha immediately arranged the transportation for everyone. Then, she made herself the personal driver for Fade and started the car.
"Mr. Chen, are you here for something important?" She asked.
The negotiation was not a secret, so he did not bother to hide it. "I am the leader for the negotiation with all the foreign martial arts organizations."
She said, "I have heard about that. Mr. Chen, you're so powerful. You have defeated all the foreign martial artists. Everyone says that you're the best martial artist of our generation."
"Come now, stop flattering me. Get straight to the point!" He waved his hand.
She stuck out her tongue awkwardly, finally showing some of her liveliness again.
"Well, actually when we heard that you are coming to Jade City, my father and a few other businessmen decided to hold a banquet. They would like to invite you to the event."
"A banquet? What for?" He asked.
"Nothing specific. It's just so that everyone can get to know each other. In recent years, Jade City has changed quite a bit and so has Li Group. However, there are still plenty of newly established companies that are pretty influential here, so..."
"I don't think..." He wanted to refuse. After all, he was not interested in this kind of event.
However, he suddenly recalled that some economic experts in the negotiation team had once told him that it would not be an easy task to request compensation from the foreign martial artists in the upcoming negotiation. Things would definitely go much smoother if he had a professional by his side.
Thinking of this, it wasn't such a bad idea to make acquaintances with some of the local businessmen and associations.
Thus, Fade changed his mind and asked, "When is the banquet?"
"That's up to you, Mr. Chen."
He then replied, "Let's do it tonight then."
"Tonight! Okay, I'll inform my dad right away!" Sasha's face lit up with joy. She immediately put on her earphones and called her father, Martin, to settle the matter.
Meanwhile, the negotiation team had checked in to the hotel that Sasha had booked.
After washing up, Fade brought the economic experts from his team along to attend Martin's banquet.
The banquet was nothing special. As usual, Martin took him around and introduced him to all the guests. His duty was merely to keep the conversation going.
Anyhow, with Fade's identity and status, he didn't really have to propose toasts.
