I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 716

It was already evening when Chen Hao had arrived in Jin Ling at the headquarters building. The Economic Zone’s deputy general managers were Zhenguo and someone called Zhong Wuyan, both loyal to the Chen Family; it was especially so for Zhenguo, who Chen Hao was familiar with. According to Uncle Pingan’s judgement, something could have gone wrong with them, so he needed to investigate properly.

“Sorry, sir. Both Mr. Zhong and Mr. Li are absent until tomorrow morning. Even if they were present, I can’t simply allow you to meet them!” said the receptionist politely. Although her tone was courteous, the hint of mockery in her voice was obvious. Who the hell are you to ask to meet these two bigshots?

“Call them and say Chen Hao has arrived!” he said simply, not wanting to waste his time.

“What? You’re Young Master Chen, Chen Hao?” Several front-desk staff immediately stood up straight and looked at him with disbelief.

“Can you make the call now?” Chen Hao said coldly.

“Alright, Young Master Chen, I’ll call… the security instead!” The staff sounded friendly at first, but she suddenly switched to a mocking tone, making Chen Hao frown.

“What are you looking at, idiot? How dare you impersonate Young Master Chen with that outfit? Do you know how many people are walking around Jin Ling, claiming to be Young Master Chen? Where do you think you are right now? How dare you be this insolent!” the staff yelled. “Security, get this troublemaker out of here!” she said, then threw down her pencil.

Immediately, several guards surrounded Chen Hao and was about to make a move on him when he looked at them and sighed. If neither Zhenguo nor Zhong Wuyan was present, he might as well come again the next day.

It wasn’t that Chen Hao wasn't angry; in fact, no one who insulted him could get away with it but for one thing, these people were his own employees, not to mention there wouldn’t be a point to punishing them. Technically, he could simply reveal himself and show off to them so long as he could prove his identity, but he saw no point in doing that since he was too frustrated to deal with them. So, he did nothing.

“Alright, since they’ll only be back tomorrow morning, then I’ll come back to see them tomorrow!” Chen Hao shook his head with a bitter smile, then left with one hand in his pocket.

“Damn, who’s this kid? His outfit is so cheap, but he sure has a big attitude!” The guards exchanged looks and shared mocking smiles.

A female receptionist reminded the guards by saying, “Probably an asylum escapee, with his stupid look. If he dares come tomorrow, you all had better stay alert and keep Mr. Li and Mr. Zhong from meeting this man. Otherwise, we’d be fired. Remember, there’s a big meeting tomorrow so we can’t afford to make mistakes!”

The guards promised her by replying, “Don’t worry. If he does show up, we’ll show him the door!”

Meanwhile, Chen Hao had exited the place and planned to head for the Hot Spring Villa when he met several young men and women. “Hey, man!” One of the more elaborately-dressed girls called out to Chen Hao with her finger pointing at him, making him stop in his tracks.

“Aren’t you what’s-his-name?” The girl scratched her head in thought. Chen Hao glanced at her; she seemed pretty, but the point was that he didn’t seem to know her.

“What’s my name?” Chen Hao asked.
