Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

The dinner was a great success. After Chu Muxi’s speech, the guests all burst into warm applause.

Shen Wu also took him and began to introduce him to everyone, saying, “Come Xiao Xi, this is Yue Mingjue from Hengyue Group. Call him uncle.”

Shen Wu pointed at a middle-aged man with a beer belly in front of him.

“Hello, Uncle Yue,” Chu Muxi greeted obediently, carefully observing the beer-belly man in front of him.

Hengyue Group was the largest manufacturer of household intelligent robots in the empire, and the Yue family was one of the eight major families. The reason they could invite Yue Mingjue was due to the Shen family’s ancestral connection with the Yue family.

However, Yue Mingjue’s father passed away long ago, and now he was the head of Yue family. Even if he didn’t come, Shen Wu couldn’t say anything. But his presence indicated that he still valued the relationship between the Shen and Yue families.

This makes Shen Wu very happy. After all, the Shen family was now in decline and no longer what it used to be.

“Mingjue, if you have a chance in the future, help me take care of this kid. I’m getting old. The future of the Shen family will rely on my little grandson,” Shen Wu said with a smile.

A glint flashed in Yue Mingjue’s eyes. Did this mean that Shen Wu intends to take people from Chu Tianhao?

“What’s the matter? If Xiao Xi doesn’t understand something, just come and ask me. Most of the things in the company are now taken care of by your elder brother, Yue Zilin. You can communicate with him more,” Yue Mingjue said, referring to his eldest son, Yue Zilin.

Because he happened to go to the third galaxy a few days ago, Yue Zilin couldn’t attend today’s dinner.

“Okay, I have long heard that Brother Yue is a famous young talent in Central Star, and I have always wanted to make friends with him. Unfortunately, my grandfather always said that I have accomplished nothing, so I should not bother Brother Yue,” Chu Muxi said mockingly to himself.

Yue Mingjue burst into laughter immediately, “You kid, you are very interesting, not bad. I just like such a straightforward kid like you.” Yue Mingjue patted him on the shoulder, “Your aunt was ill a while ago, I didn’t ask her to come over tonight. When she gets better, you can come to my house for a casual meal and let your aunt also meet you. She used to have a very good relationship with your mother. She heard that you are hosting a coming-of-age ceremony dinner today and specially told her me not to be late.”

“Auntie, is she okay?” Chu Muxi immediately asked with concern.

“It’s okay, it’s the same old habit. Forget it, let’s not talk about it for today. Let’s talk at home later,” Yue Mingjue smiled.

“Okay, when my aunt gets better, I will definitely pay her a visit,” Chu Muxi also said with a smile.

Although the people nearby were standing together and chatting in twos and threes, their eyes were always directed towards this place, and their ears were perked up, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Yue Mingjue was the most famous person among those who came tonight, but he only talked to Shen Wu. The man would rather talk to the housekeeper of Shen Garden than talk to others.

This made those who wanted to get together and say a few words to him through this banquet dare not take the initiative to come forward. After all, Yue Mingjue’s reputation was a terrifying existence.

Seeing how close he was to Chu Muxi, everyone who originally just wanted to use this dinner party to find opportunities for themselves gradually realized that Chu Muxi, the host of this dinner party, might be the one they should build a friendship with.

For a moment, when Chu Muxi finished greeting Yue Mingjue and turned around, he saw several people surrounding him.

“Young Master Chu, hello, I am from the XXX family.”

“Young Master Chu, Master Chu, I wish you a happy adult ceremony. I am the second eldest son of the Chen family. Our Chen family—”

“Hey, Young Master Chu. Do you have time next week? Why don’t you go to the new resort developed by our Li family?”

Chu Muxi looked at the people gathered around him with a headache. He glanced at Shen Wu, who was standing on the outside. Shen Wu smiled slyly, turned around, and started chatting with Yue Mingjue next to him.

It seemed that Grandpa would not come to help him, which was fine. He would have to come into contact with these things sooner or later anyway.

“Yes, Mr. Li, I saw the promotion of your vacation planet a few days ago. It is very well done. The unique all-ocean-style tourism project is indeed very attractive.”

“Hello, Second Young Master Chen, I heard that you seem to be investing in a documentary with someone. The theme is to promote the eleven wonders of the ancient earth, right? I’m very interested. We can have a good chat next time we have a chance.”

Looking at Chu Muxi in the crowd seeming to be at ease, Yue Mingjue raised his glass to Shen Wu, “Congratulations to Mr. Shen, you have an excellent successor.”

“I’m afraid Zilin will be offended by what you said,” Shen Wu accepted the other party’s words to his family.

“Haha, that brat Zilin, I think he has been trying to be in the limelight all the time lately. Someone just happened to remind him to wake up. He also knows that there are people outside the world, which will save him from falling even harder in the future.” At this moment, the two elders looked at each other and saw the approval in each other’s eyes.

.

Chu Muxi finally escaped from the encirclement. Even though the entire hall was temperature-controlled, he still felt a little breathless.

Everyone wanted to squeeze into the upper class, but who knew that people in the upper class didn’t have an easy life.

Just as he was thinking about it, he noticed that he received a text message.

[Hi Muxi, I’m here.] It’s Phil.

He had invited Phil before, but until this moment, he had not seen any sign of him.

If he hadn’t already known about Phil’s identity, he might have thought that he was deliberately neglecting him. But, in fact, Chu Muxi knew that Phil didn’t want to appear in crowded places.

After all, even if he changed his appearance a little, with so many people from the upper-class attending today’s banquet, there would always be one or two cunning individuals who could figure out his true identity—like Yue Mingjue and others.

“Grandpa, my classmate is here. He is a bit shy and not used to crowded places. I will go look for him.” He walked to Shen Wu and said to him.

Shen Wu nodded and said with concern: “Okay, you go quickly. Since you have invited someone, you must entertain them well when they come. You can’t neglect the guests, you know?”

Shen Wu thought that the other party was just an ordinary student in the school, maybe a bit uncomfortable attending the banquet for the first time, so he let his grandson go out to greet him.

Chu Muxi responded, turned around, and walked outside.

.

As a result, as soon as he walked outside Shen Garden, he heard someone making a noise.

He walked to the place where the airship was parked, squinted his eyes and looked over, and heard a familiar voice.

“You dare to stop me?! I’m your young master’s best friend, don’t you know! If you don’t believe me, go ask your young master if Jiang Xing is his best friend!”

Chu Muxi raised his eyebrows, not expecting this person. He actually had the nerve to come to the door.
