"Mr. Jiang, the Chamber of Commerce has many matters that require my attention. I apologize for being late!" the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce said apologetically to Jiang Yi.
"It's fine!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "Your presence is already giving me face!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Jiang!"
After speaking, the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce continued, "When I arrived earlier, I had someone transfer ten billion to Tiansheng Group's account. Although I am the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, I don't have much wealth. I can't compare to Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo. They are the richest, and they can easily provide tens of billions to help you, Mr. Jiang!"
These words made Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo feel a bit awkward!
One of them had contributed five billion, and the other had contributed ten billion.
Tens of billions, they could indeed afford it, but they had only provided a fraction of it.
"I know you don't have much money, but it's the thought that counts, and I accept it!" Jiang Yi said.
Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo were starting to feel uneasy!
"Mr. Jiang, it's not that I'm unwilling to spend my money, it's just that..."
An embarrassed look appeared on Ma Bai's face.
Qian Wanduo was about to speak, but Jiang Yi stopped him.
"Alright, I know you wouldn't be so stingy!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "The reason I invited you here is simply to have a gathering. Let's all drink to our hearts' content today."
Upon hearing this, Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo said nothing more.
With Jiang Yi's words, they were finally reassured.
"Mr. Jiang, I recall you helped many people back then. Are it just the three of us today?" the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce asked.
"Not many people know about my arrival in the capital. It's fine if they don't come," Jiang Yi replied.
A hint of anger flashed across the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce's face, but he remained silent.
"Shall we start drinking?" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, everyone raised their glasses.
Midway through the drinking, the hotel manager suddenly walked in from outside.
As he was about to speak, upon seeing the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, Bai Ma, and Qian Wanduo, he froze on the spot, as if turned into a statue, his mouth agape.
He never expected that the guests Jiang Yi had invited today were the three magnates of the capital, any one of whom was a prominent figure!
In the capital, no one else possessed the ability to gather the three magnates of the capital together; only Jiang Yi had such influence.
"Is there something?" Jiang Yi asked the hotel manager.
Hearing Jiang Yi's voice, the hotel manager snapped back to reality.
"A wealthy young master came earlier and insisted on booking this private room. He demanded that I expel the people inside. I had no choice but to come and discuss it with you, Mr. Jiang!" the hotel manager said hastily.
"Hmph!"
Ma Bai snorted coldly and placed his wine glass on the table.
"These wealthy young masters in the capital are becoming increasingly arrogant and presumptuous. This time, they must be taught a lesson!"
Qian Wanduo and the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce were also displeased.
"That's not right!"
Qian Wanduo's gaze fell upon the hotel manager as he spoke. "Everyone knows that the Royal Hotel is owned by the Dongfang family. The Dongfang family has considerable influence in the capital's business circles. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the Royal Hotel. Could this be an excuse to drive us out of your hotel?"
Hearing this, the hotel manager panicked!
"Boss Qian, you misunderstand me!"
The hotel manager quickly said, "All four of you are top figures in the capital. Your presence at our hotel is our honor. How could we possibly do such a thing?"
"In that case, what is the reason?" Qian Wanduo asked calmly.
"That young master is no ordinary person!"
The hotel manager explained, "He is the third young master of the Mao family, known as Young Master Mao San by those who know him. He is the only son of the chairman of Mao Corporation. The Mao family is a prominent family in the capital's business world, and their influence in business is no less than that of the Dongfang family. Our hotel is in the business of serving customers, and we naturally don't want to provoke such a person."
Qian Wanduo sneered upon hearing this.
"I've heard of this Young Master Mao San. He is indeed an arrogant and presumptuous fellow!"
Qian Wanduo said, "Young Master Mao San is not a good person, and his father, Mao Guoping, is also not a good person. The father and son are alike. I've always disliked them!"
"I also can't stand the people from the Mao family!" Ma Bai added.
Only the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce remained silent.
He believed there was no need for him to intervene in such a matter.
"You all continue eating. I'll go and sort out Young Master Mao San as well!"
Jiang Yi stood up from his chair.
"Mr. Jiang, such a trivial matter doesn't require you to personally handle it. You can leave it to us!" Ma Bai said quickly.
"I am hosting this meal today, so it is my responsibility to resolve it. If I can't resolve it later, then you can step in!" Jiang Yi replied.
Following that, Jiang Yi left the private room with the hotel manager.
The reason this private room was so sought after was that it was the most luxurious and prestigious private room in the entire Royal Hotel, with many wealthy and influential people vying to book it.
Normally, many people would fight over the chance to book this private room.
Being able to drink and dine in this private room was a sign of great prestige.
Soon, Jiang Yi and the hotel manager arrived in the lobby.
At this moment, a flashy young heir in his twenties was shouting loudly, completely disregarding the Royal Hotel.
"All of you from this hotel listen up! I have invited distinguished guests today, and the guests will arrive in an hour. If you still don't expel the people from the private room, don't blame me for being impolite to your hotel!" the young heir said furiously.
This young heir was none other than Mao San Shao.
"The hotel already has guests!"
Jiang Yi walked over and his gaze fell upon Mao San Shao. He said, "You should find another private room!"
"Who are you?" Young Master Mao's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
"My name is Jiang Yi, and I booked that private room first!" Jiang Yi said calmly.
"What gives you the right to challenge me? Do you know who my father is? My father is Mao Guoping, the chairman of Mao Corporation. Even the Dongfang family dares not provoke our Mao family. What makes you think you can?"
Mao San Shao stared at Jiang Yi and said sternly, "Get lost immediately and give up the private room, or I will take your life today!"
As soon as Mao San Shao finished speaking, a group of people behind him stepped forward and surrounded Jiang Yi.
The onlookers saw this and quickly retreated.
These people around were merely spectators, and they did not want to get involved.
Jiang Yi remained calm.
