An Guanghai tossed his cane to his subordinate and straightened his suit before walking toward Chen Gu inside the store.

He looked Chen Gu over and said with a smile, "Indeed, a young man of great promise!"

Chen Gu nodded earnestly. "I think so too."

An Guanghai laughed heartily and then said, "About the earlier matter, it was a misunderstanding. I came here specifically to resolve this misunderstanding."

He didn't mention what the "misunderstanding" was, nor did he deny that their people had attacked Chen Gu. Even though the An Family and the Bureau of Mystic Security had reached a compromise, the An Family had its pride. We'll compensate you, of course, was their unspoken position, but not because of you personally—it's for the Bureau of Mystic Security behind you. This was the kind of arrogance common to elite clans in any era.

Chen Gu nodded and pointed to the "Earthly Mansion IV" on display. "You damaged my car. Compensate me with this one."

An Guanghai agreed readily. "No problem. Someone, come and handle the procedures for Mr. Chen Gu immediately."

Chen Gu then said, "Ten of them, in different colors. I want to match them with my ten different girlfriends."

The hall fell silent. The salespeople and managers were stunned by this audacious move!

One car cost 240 million; ten would be 2.4 billion! Even if the actual cost was much lower than this figure, it was still an exorbitant demand. The An Family would have to pay at least five to six hundred million.

An Guanghai, whose eyes had been narrowed just a moment ago, suddenly widened them. He asked flatly, "Young man, one must practice moderation."

Chen Gu replied indifferently, "You know I'm not like most people. I'm in good health!"

Chen Gu wasn't going to just let things slide with the An Family after being compensated for one car, not after they had ambushed him with intent to kill.

He understood Gong Shuxu's position and actions, but he absolutely did not agree with them. His conflict with the An Family wouldn't be so easily settled either.

The An Family was very powerful. He wouldn't challenge them now, but he wanted them to feel some pain. With many protections currently in place, he certainly wasn't afraid of the An Family.

An Guanghai snorted, the smile on his face gone. He waved his hand dismissively. "Give it to him." Then he turned and left, without saying another word to Chen Gu.

The general manager stood there dumbfounded. Ten cars? Given away with just a single sentence?

Indeed, he couldn't comprehend the "deals" made at the top echelons of Star Nation.

With the big boss gone, the rest was naturally left to his subordinates. The general manager quickly checked the inventory to gather ten "Earthly Mansion IVs" in different colors for Chen Gu.

While the procedures were being processed, salespeople who considered themselves exceptionally attractive, both male and female, kept approaching, hoping to strike up a conversation with Chen Gu.

They all had their ambitions: maybe they too could become one of the girlfriends to accompany those ten "Earthly Mansion IVs."

Some male salespeople even thought they had an edge. Rich people really knew how to enjoy life, after all. The adage that "three flat things are no match for one round one" was common knowledge, and the wealthy themselves were undoubtedly even more intimately familiar with all its connotations.

However, Chen Gu remained aloof. He merely gestured to Xiao Xi. "Do you want to become an actress?"

A look of anticipation flashed in Xiao Xi's eyes, and she nodded vigorously. Chen Gu called Kong Kong. "I have a potential movie star here. Are you interested?"

Kong Kong was rather skeptical. "Just because you say so?"

Chen Gu said, "Don't regret it then."

Man Suling's voice came from Kong Kong's side; he was incredibly annoyed. "Fine, fine, fine. We'll go have a look."

Completing the paperwork took a long time. No matter how much Gao Mengjiu tried to delay, Man Suling eventually dragged him over. When Man Suling, wearing sunglasses, appeared in the store and snuggled up to Chen Gu like an obedient puppy, his earlier boast—"I want to match them with my ten different girlfriends"—seemed to be confirmed!

The sales staff immediately looked crestfallen. No wonder this gentleman wasn't interested in us.

While most salespeople only recognized Man Suling, Xiao Xi knew the true weight Gao Mengjiu carried!

Although Gao Mengjiu's main focus was the music scene, he also managed many stars who excelled in film, television, and music. Man Suling herself had recently begun to venture into film and television.

Xiao Xi was thrilled, never expecting such a great opportunity today. She assumed her earlier kindness to Chen Gu, when he was being snubbed, had paid off. Little did she know, her entire act had been seen through by the Film Emperor, who merely thought she was a promising talent and a way for his dense friend to make some money.

Gao Mengjiu took Xiao Xi aside to discuss matters. Before leaving, however, he shot a fierce glare at Chen Gu and Man Suling, a clear warning in his eyes: "Don't mess around!"

After all the paperwork was completed, Chen Gu drove one car back himself, arranging for the store to deliver the rest to his residence.

Man Suling insisted on riding in Chen Gu's car, much to Gao Mengjiu's exasperation. She reasoned quite plausibly, "You and Ms. Xiao Xi should take one car. More interaction will help you understand her better and discover her potential."

Man Suling slid into Chen Gu's car. The car was... well, the color didn't matter. The moment Man Suling sat inside, everyone around felt that the superstar and the car's color were a perfect match. A beautiful woman and a luxury car—they complemented each other perfectly!

Even the general manager inwardly sighed with admiration. The joy of the rich truly is this simple and unadorned!

Gao Mengjiu was also surprised. After a brief interaction, he too discovered that this girl, Xiao Xi, was a natural-born actress; there was drama in her every move.

Chen Gu, that blockhead, has such incredible luck! He stumbles upon such a good prospect just by strolling through a store.

With a few resources to promote her, in a few years, she'll be a money-making tree no less impressive than Man Suling.

But then Gao Mengjiu's thoughts took a strange turn. Did that blockhead give me Xiao Xi out of guilt for luring away my Man Suling? Is this his way of compensating me?

CRACK!

Andreyao crushed the glass in his hand. He had just received feedback from his second uncle: they couldn't make a move against Chen Gu for the time being.

His second uncle didn't blame him. After all, An Guanghai himself hadn't realized before taking action just how significant Chen Gu's "background" was, with the Bureau of Mystic Security vouching for him.

The An Family could only swallow this hidden loss for now.

However, fortunes change. As the saying goes, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west." Prodigies who flare up like shooting stars are a dime a dozen; how many are truly remembered? Great families, on the other hand, stand firm for centuries, even millennia.

Just because we can't move against you now doesn't mean we can't in the future. Is the An Family's money really that easy to take?

Ordinarily, after such a warning from his second uncle, Andreyao would have backed down. A major reason the family valued him was his ability to "see the bigger picture and consider the overall situation."

But this time, for some reason, a rage burned relentlessly in his heart, growing fiercer and fiercer. I, a scion of a great family, have to tolerate a nobody?

I told my subordinates I had this handled, that I had a plan. And this is the 'plan'? To swallow my anger and remain silent? How will I ever face my men again?

I hinted to Ye Feileng that I'd help her get revenge. And now what? I just take a slap from Chen Gu and offer a smile in return? Ye Feileng will probably never look my way again. And the family's subsequent plans? Forget about them!

Andreyao gritted his teeth. "This matter isn't over!"
