However, Salazar Xu was truly cunning. He quickly came to his senses and immediately plastered a smile on his face. He went forward to Charles Wu and explained, "President Wu, this is just a misunderstanding. The manager of this exhibition booth is missing a diamond ring which cost 100,000 and everyone is trying to help find it, so — ’’
"What then?" Charles retorted, glaring at the manager and Salazar. "You suspect Mr. Chen of theft?"
"No, no, we just asked President Chen to cooperate with us, so we can investigate this matter.We did not have malicious intentions." The manager also came to his senses, and gestured his hand as he explained.
But Charles did not believe them. He said with a cold tone, "No malicious intentions? The security guards have been called in, and you were prepared to call the police. Isn't it clear that you have malicious intentions?"
"Also, with Mr. Chen's status, it would be ridiculous to think that he would want your diamond ring which is worth only 100,000!"
The manager didn't know what to say in reply, so he grimaced.
Salazar wanted to explain further and quickly said: "President Wu, this is really a misunderstanding, and Manager Huang doesn't know--"
"Really? He doesn't know?" At this moment, Fade sneered. He came over, looked at Salazar and said, "Director Xu is very enthusiastic about this matter, he even took the lead to undergo inspection. It seems clear to me that Director Xu and Mr. Huang have a good relationship!"
Salazar's face fell, and he glared at Fade. He then shifted his expression and started to deny this fact.
But Charles was shrewd. As he heard these words, he was vaguely aware of what was going on. He looked at Salazar coldly and said, "Salazar, I know that Enya Entertainment and Scott Entertainment have a competitive relationship. Are you dissatisfied with this situation and try to use underhanded means?
Salazar quickly denied this, "President Wu, this is not true. President Chen misunderstood me. I just--"
Charles had no interest in hearing any of his excuses. He took out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number. After saying something, he hung up. He then spoke to Salazar, "You don't have to explain anything to me. President An is coming now. You can explain to him then!"
When he heard the name "President An", Salazar's expression changed suddenly.
President An was head of one of the three major businesses at Long City. The An family was involved in the media, as well as in advertising and in the entertainment industry.
The An family had invested in Enya Entertainment before. Therefore, President An is considered the boss of Salazar, and Enya Entertainment can be considered the property of the An family.
His boss was coming, and Salazar felt the heat.
As for the crowd, they were numb from all the excitement. They could not imagine that Fade could have so much influence. Scott, Charles, and now President An would be stepping in.
Within a few minutes, a group of people walked towards them.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this group of people. President An was there, but President Dai and President Qian was also there with him.
The three of them walked forward quickly and greeted Charles with a nod.
Salazar stepped forward, wanting to greet them and explain the situation to President An.
But as he walked forward, President An just glanced at him and pushed him away. He quickly walked towards Fade.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." President An felt calmer. He stood up and walked with a stern expression towards Salazar. He asked him coldly, "What is the matter with this diamond ring?"
Salaza's expression flickered, and he glanced at the booth manager. He stammered, "President An, I, I don't know. I'm only familiar with Manager Huang, so I'm eager to help, I--"
Fade heard the words and snorted softly.
President An yelled immediately: "Tell me the truth now, or you will die"
At this moment, Salazar's expression was twisted. He kept thinking, whether he should tell the truth and risk the embarrassment, or carry the secret to his death.
As Salazar pondered over this,President An's cold words sounded, "Think about it, President Dai, President Qian, President Wu and myself in Long City treat this person with utmost deference. Who can this person be? "
These words immediately made Salazar's heart beat faster and he quickly thought about it.
Indeed, there were not many people in Long City that commanded the respect and deference of several major business giants. And these few people were almost all in their 50s and 60s. There seems to be no one of this young age.
Except one person, that is-
As he realized this, Salazar had a shock. He glanced at Fade again, and looked at his average- looking face. The expression on Salazar's face became more agitated, and his body shuddered involuntarily, trembling in fear.
