Chapter 1494: Chapter 1494: Even a Big Dog Needs to Know Its Master
That’s why many journalists in Beijing are so cautious, especially when they hear about interviewing Old Master Xu. Instead of getting excited, they worry about doing something wrong that might displease him, so they are extremely careful.
However, the reporters here have no such concerns. They even think they can scoop some news and rush in without any hesitation.
Even others are not worried, as those reporters might have forgotten that Old Master Xu was once a powerful figure, completely disregarding these people.
"It’s just a bodyguard, what’s there to be arrogant about? He’s just working for someone. Besides, Old Master Xu is so kind and hasn’t said anything, and yet this bodyguard dares to shout at us. Really, do they know what kind of work we do?"
"Exactly, we’re just doing an interview, and Old Master Xu hasn’t said anything, yet this bodyguard dares to talk to us like this. Just wait until we expose him!"
"Really, now even a high-ranking family’s watchdog dares to shout at others like this?"
At this moment, the bodyguard didn’t flinch upon hearing these words but sought advice from Old Master Xu, surrounded by them.
Old Master Xu’s face was cold as frost. He didn’t expect that in a small place like Changnan, journalists would dare to treat his people this way. These bodyguards were nurtured by Old Master Xu’s money, belonging to the Xu Family and not to be insulted by others.
"Even when hitting a dog, you look at its owner. How dare you bully someone from the Xu Family, same old rules!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Old Master Xu finished speaking, those bodyguards took the cameras from the reporters next to them and smashed them on the ground without a moment’s hesitation. Instantly, the scene went silent.
No one dared to speak, seemingly shocked. How could anyone act so arrogant here, even surpassing Old Master Xiao?
This person is too brazen, yet seeing Old Master Xu’s aura, no one dared to speak up.
Old Master Xu is just like he was back in the day, with such a strong presence now. No wonder the journalists are worried. But these journalists are also rather blind, daring to provoke Old Master Xu. Haven’t they heard of his reputation?
Everyone felt a chill for the reporters, and the journalists realized this too.
But some journalists are still newcomers to the industry and don’t understand any of this. They didn’t think the person in front of them was formidable. In Changnan City, many media outlets are strong, and they’ve never feared those entrepreneurs. After all, the entrepreneurs they’ve met are all very kind.
However, Old Master Xu doesn’t need media to build his image since the Xu Group is already strong enough that there’s no need for special promotion.
Instead, those media outlets come knocking on the door, wanting to advertise for Xu Group. Yet Old Master Xu might not even be willing.
"Guys, he dared to smash the tools we use to make a living. Since that’s the case, why don’t we all team up? Don’t know where he’s from, daring to stir trouble on Old Master Xiao’s turf. This is outrageous."
"Isn’t he just relying on a few bodyguards? Even stars aren’t this arrogant. Since he is, we don’t need to give him face. Even if we do, he won’t respect us."
"But that’s Old Master Xu, famous in Beijing. Even Old Master Xiao has to show some respect. Are we mistaken? Let’s all take a step back and avoid misunderstandings."
Some journalists were ready to back down, but some didn’t understand the fame of the Xu Group, so they stayed.
"Outrageous!"
Old Master Xiao shouted, not expecting to see this scene when he came out. These journalists dared to surround his idol from his youth, and Old Master Xu’s esteemed presence was already an honor. These people dared to cause trouble here. He invited the journalists just for interviews, but didn’t expect them to cause such a scene.
Some perceptive journalists got excited seeing Old Master Xiao appear, thinking the real show was about to start, and once Old Master Xiao arrived, he’d definitely handle this person.
"Didn’t expect Old Master Xiao to come; guys, we don’t need to be afraid. Old Master Xiao will stand up for us. Besides, he’s a famous figure in Changnan. Are we afraid of this person? So just relax and watch the drama."
"With backing like this, what do we have to fear? This person is practically ruining the granddaughter’s birthday party. Besides, Old Master Xiao treasures Xiao Keyi the most, and definitely won’t let this old man off this time."
Others on the scene, hearing these people considering Old Master Xiao as their backing, couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. How dare these people? In front of Old Master Xu, Old Master Xiao is but an ant, so how could he be their support?
Even Old Master Xiao was momentarily stunned. What were these people thinking? Haven’t they realized the lay of the land? Although Old Master Xu has been retired for many years, media journalists should know this person. But these people are so clueless.
Witnessing this unfolding drama, Old Master Xiao was left flabbergasted as he walked over to Old Master Xu, slightly lowering his waist humbly: "I didn’t expect you to come, Your Esteemed Self. It’s really my fault for not welcoming you properly. If you’d told me, I would have sent someone to greet you. I’m truly sorry."
Old Master Xiao was very emotional and his apology was sincere. Finally, Old Master Xu’s anger subsided a bit. After all, the two families were about to be in-laws, and it wouldn’t look good to make a scene. With Old Master Xu’s previous temper, he’d have left in anger, and the next day, there would be no Xiao Group.
Old Master Xiao naturally knew this, so he was eager to apologize in hopes of saving face.
At this moment, Old Blue, like Old Master Xiao, said: "Please believe us, as soon as we got the news, we came down immediately. We will handle this situation; we’ll ask these reporters to leave now, and we hope you won’t be angry. Whatever environment you need, we can provide it."
Seeing Old Master Xiao and Old Blue like this, everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that after so many years, Old Master Xu would still garner such respect from them.
Could it be that Old Master Xu still holds sway over the Xu Group? With this thought, everyone’s mind was racing with thoughts.
