<h4>Chapter 359: Chapter 358, Who Else to me but Himself for the Humiliation?</h4>


    "Old Gou is right, you can’t invite the vi district’s owners over for dinner at your ce tomorrow night," Elder Master Mi said, "The Ji Family’s influence in Qingyuan ranks first."


    "Plus, they’re inviting the neighborhood over for the first time, which is a prime chance for others to build connections."


    "They are not going to skip congratting Ji Family toe to your house."


    "Unless they are willing to offend the Ji Family!"


    "But the chances of that happening are slim."


    Xu Wendong smiled and asked, "Would you two like toe to my ce tomorrow?"


    "Of course we would!" Elder Master Gou grinned broadly. They were one of the four major wealthy consortia, just like the Ji Family, with simr strength; rejecting the Ji Family’s invitation was no big deal.


    Xu Wendong said, "The upancy rate at Shengjing Shanshui is eighty-five percent... Never mind, I’ll contact the property managementter to confirm the real upancy and distribute the invitations ordingly!"


    Saying this, he took out his phone and dialed Li Zhenfeng’s number, "Old Li, I’m hosting a housewarming party tomorrow,e over with Old Deng after work for a drink!"


    "Not going!" Li Zhenfeng tly refused Xu Wendong without thinking twice.


    Because he knew.


    Whenever Xu Wendong hosted guests, nothing good ever came of it.


    Xu Wendong shamelessly said, "Are you feeling embarrassed toe empty-handed? If so, bringing some Wuliangye would be fine by me!"


    Li Zhenfeng restrained his urge to curse and said, "I actually have a meeting tomorrow night, can’t..."


    Before he could finish.


    Xu Wendong’s voice rang out again, "My sworn brother will be there too."


    Li Zhenfeng paused, suppressing his excitement, "Wuliangye doesn’tpare to Maotai."


    "Weren’t you the one with no time?" Xu Wendong sneered.


    "Ahem, I remembered wrong, that meeting is tonight, and I’m free tomorrow." Li Zhenfeng indeed found Xu Wendong annoying.


    However,


    Getting to meet Elder Fang would be the biggest turning point in his life.


    "Alright, let’s leave it at that!" Xu Wendong said, hanging up the phone, then called Elder Fang to inform him of the housewarming party he nned for tomorrow.


    Truth be told, Xu Wendong didn’t want to trouble Elder Fang, considering his age, but he knew etiquette.


    As sworn brothers, he had to give importance to the other, regardless of the event, be it weddings, funerals, housewarming, births, or celebratory graduation gatherings, everything had to bemunicated.


    Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.


    If Elder Fang found out he held a housewarming without letting him know, he would be furious, even to the point of yelling.


    Besides Elder Fang.


    Xu Wendong also called Geng Biao, the heir of the leading Wealthy Consortium in the provincial capital; he was the only Honored Contributor in the Geng Family. Was it over the line to call them to his housewarming party?


    Of course,


    Xu Wendong’s actions weren’t just to bolster his own standing; he wanted to bring more development opportunities to Qingyuan. Whether it was the Fang Family or the Geng Family, they were pirs of billion-dor wealthy consortia.


    "Please catch more fish, I’ll go buy some things in preparation for tomorrow’s guests." Xu Wendong slipped away, leaving Elder Master Gou and Elder Master Mi looking at each other.


    "Old Gou, what do you think will happen tomorrow?" Elder Master Mi couldn’t resist asking.


    Elder Master Gou shook his head, "This guy might be young, but he’s unusually steady in his actions. Even though his invitation seems like sending an egg against a rock, I feel he has some hidden cards."


    Elder Master Mi said, "Even if Doctor Xu has hidden cards, in Qingyuan, aside from us declining the Ji Family’s invitation, who else would dare ignore the Ji Family’s presence?"


    They knew full well that declining the Ji Family’s invitation was tantamount to opposing them, and in Qingyuan, except for them, no one dared provoke the massive Ji Family.


    Elder Master Gou suddenly said, "Did he just call out Old Li over the phone?"


    Elder Master Mi’s eyes lit up, "Do you mean that was County Secretary Li Zhenfeng on the line?"


    Elder Master Gou shared his viewpoint, "He mentioned Old Li and Old Deng on the phone earlier. If I’m not mistaken, he’s inviting County Secretary Li Zhenfeng and Public Security Bureau’s Deng Wencheng."


    Elder Master Mi nodded slightly, "If he can get both toe, he could indeed y against the Ji Family, though it might still be hard to tell who’d have the upper hand!"


    Elder Master Gou’s eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation, "He made three calls in total; the first one already levels the ying field, what might the second and third calls achieve?"


    "Fine, let’s go fishing, the show’s about to begin; we just need to watch patiently."


    ——


    Xu Wendong first went to themunity’s property management to find out the detailed upancy rate, then headed to arge hotel, requesting them to send staff over for his dinner party the next day.


    He then went to a candy shop, buying lots of sunflower seeds, sweets, and invitation cards.


    After doing all this, he returned to Shengjing Shanshui.


    Personally, he wrote out seventy-five invitations.


    In fact, the Shengjing Shanshui Vi District had seventy-seven vis upied, but he didn’t need to send himself an invitation, nor did he need to send one to the Ji Family.


    Every other resident received one invitation.


    After he finished, Xu Wendong summoned the vi’s butler, instructing her to distribute them to the other residents following the information.


    To be honest, the residents of Vi 95 were curious about what he did.


    Only that they remained unaware.


    If the event were not scheduled for tomorrow evening, they would definitely attend, as they all reside in the samemunity, frequently seeing each other.


    But the problem arose when.


    Vi 95’s dinner party shed with the Ji Family’s event.


    They could only choose one.


    In no time.


    Many people ended up tossing Xu Wendong’s invitations in the trash; even though he moved into Vi 95, they didn’t think Xu Wendong could stand against the Ji Family.


    The power dynamics were obvious, making it unnecessary to offend the Ji Family for Xu Wendong.


    At the same time.


    The news of Xu Wendong sending out invitations to themunity owners reached the ears of the Ji Family’s old master; he was trimming flowers in the backyard andughed coldly upon hearing it, "Not only is Xu Wendong arrogant and audacious, but he’s also a bit overconfident."


    "Does he think that themunity owners will go to his banquet after receiving the invitation?"


    "Humph!"


    "He really underestimates the Ji Family’s influence in Qingyuan!"


    Ji Yunfei disyed a malicious grin, "We were just aiming to iste him, yet he’s setting himself up for humiliation. Whom else can he me?"


    "Once themunity ownerse to the Ji Family tomorrow, Xu Wendong will understand what true despair means and realize the consequences of opposing our family!"
