Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World Chapter 370 - Not Simple

Chapter 370: Not Simple

The venue of the business war was set in Imperial Capital’s synagogue. One would expect there to be a lot of people, but because it was such a solemn place, security measures were tight. Many people who wanted to watch the business war were barred from entering, so it was not crowded.
Other than some young masters and ladies from aristocratic families, there were quite a few old faces and a few new ones. Very influential media personnel were also present. Usually, media personnel wouldn’t be able to participate in such an occasion. This could only mean that they had particularly strong relationships.
Today was not the official competition. The organizers of the business war were very good at their jobs. Today’s event was considered the opening ceremony. They were not in a hurry to organize an individual competition. Instead, they made the participating groups from different regions fight for the chance to answer. It was all a gimmick and a teaser to the bloody war that was to come.
Speaking of which, the disputes and verbal battles between the various regions every year were partly because of them.
Gong Sheng, who had publicly criticized Sheng Yang on Weibo and then apologized for no reason, entered the venue. There were a few youths following behind him. They were all around 18 or 19 years old, full of vigor and youthful flamboyance.
Gong Sheng wore a beige sweater. His hair was a natural chestnut color, and his pupils were not dark. He had heard that his maternal grandparents had a foreign bloodline.
“Hey, I was wondering who it was. Aren’t you the Gong family’s second-generation heir, Gong Sheng?” A frivolous voice sounded. Gong Sheng arched his eyebrows when he heard this voice. Then, he looked over. A young boy wearing a white shirt with a light yellow sweater casually draped around his neck was standing not far away. He looked at Gong Sheng provocatively, and a group of people followed behind him. They were almost standing opposite of Gong Sheng.
This person’s name was Lan Xiao, and he was another force in the Imperial Capital’s circle of successors. However, he was a force that was at odds with Gong Sheng.
Lan Xiao walked closer. Although he was quite tall, he was still a few centimeters shorter than Gong Sheng.
He glared fiercely at Gong Sheng.
The love-hate relationship between him and Gong Sheng was difficult to describe in words.
There were a few major incidents. Gong Sheng’s mother and his mother were fake friends. Gong Sheng’s mother loved to compare the two of them in public and in private. As for him, he was clearly much taller than Gong Sheng when they were young. But when they were in junior high school, Gong Sheng seemed to have eaten something special. Suddenly, he sprouted like bamboo after the rain and surpassed him in height in first grade.
Something happened between them in high school as well. A girl he failed to pursue went after Gong Sheng, but Gong Sheng rejected her and broke her heart.
With all these added together, the grudge between him and Gong Sheng only got bigger and bigger.
His interactions with Gong Sheng were different from their mothers. They did not put on an act or pretend. They fought and competed with each other directly.
Every year, the two of them would make it to the finals of the business war. They would compete to see who was better.
Actually, Gong Sheng didn’t really care. It was just that Lan Xiao liked to compete with him.
“Hehe…” Lan Xiao curved his lips and surveyed his surroundings. “In the past, we always looked down on the teams from Yan City. I didn’t expect things to change this year. Why isn’t that girl from Yan City whom you’re so afraid of here yet?”
Gong Sheng immediately frowned.
Lan Xiao saw that he did not look happy and became even more excited. “Hey, hey, hey, are you unhappy? Were you originally angry at her but after seeing her photo and realizing she was good-looking, you took pity on her and apologized…”
The more Lan Xiao said, the more ridiculous the story became. Gong Sheng’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly covered his mouth.
This guy really dared to say anything.
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, he was insinuating that Miss Sheng’s relationship with him wasn’t simple.
