"Fade, only my cousin and I know about this. Do you think she won't know even if you didn't tell her?" Momo rolled her eyes and told him, "Stop guessing. It's not something serious. Please focus on cooking our dinner. I'm starving."

"Even if it's not a very serious matter, it doesn't mean that it's not serious enough. I..." Fade started to be paranoid but Momo was unusually good at keeping the secret right then no matter what he said. To no avail, Fade went to cook the dinner.

In the evening, Quin and Momo were even more chatty than usual at the dining table. On the contrary, Fade didn't enjoy his dinner because he was very nervous. The next day, Quin went to work as usual.

When it was almost noon, Momo dragged Fade out to fulfill the promise he made the day before -accompanying her for lunch.

They went by car and they arrived at the only six-star hotel in the center of Jade City at around eleven.

Momo led Fade in and walked towards the dining table in the restaurant.

Several people were already sitting at the table. They were Abell, Sonia and Harper, all whom Fade had met before.

Fade was surprised. He looked at Momo and asked, "Momo, you are going to have lunch with them?"

After all, they didn't have a close relationship. Fade didn't expect Momo to have a meal with them.

Momo winked at Fade, and holding onto his arm, she said, "I'll explain to you later, Fade. Now, let's sit down."

Both of them sat down, but Abell and the others were looking at them with disdain.

Abell, in particular, mocked without hesitation,"Momo, I can't believe you really brought this cowardly man with you."

Momo glared at Abell angrily and said, "Abell, I told you he isn't a coward. He really is a master!"

Abell laughed arrogantly.

Harper joined in with Abell. He laughed and mocked, "Of course he is a master. Like what Momo said before, Fade is Master Chen and Master Chen is truly a master!"

Hearing that, Abell and Sonia shook their heads and laughed in mockery. They obviously didn't believe Momo.

On the other hand, Fade was calm. He said, "Momo didn't lie. I am indeed the Master Chen from Jade City."

The three of them stunned, then they burst into laughter a moment later.

"Did you hear what he said? The Master Chen, he said! Oh, this is so ridiculous."

"We were joking! I can't believe you took it seriously. I don't know what to say about you anymore."

"Mr. Chen, I know Master Chen is the hero for everyone in Jade City now, but you don't have to make up such nonsense!"

Fade picked up his tea cup and took a sip of the tea. He shook his head and said, "I'm not lying, I am indeed Master Chen." "Someone here is really into acting," Abell said with his scorn evident on his face.

"Momo, as your cousin, I feel obliged to tell you this. Stay away from such people," Harper chided Momo.

Momo opened her mouth to explain.

However, Sonia waved her hand and interrupted Momo, "Okay, let's put this aside and talk about something important."

When it came to serious issues, they became solemn.

Sonia said, "I have made an appointment with Eden, a middle-level manager of the Li family. He should be here soon. We should list out the things that we are going to discuss later so that we can have the upper-hand at the negotiation."

"Eden Li!" Harper repeated surprisingly. "Sonia, didn't you say that you will contact Hanson, the head of the Li family, and someone from the Smith Group? Why are we meeting with a midlevel manager from the Li family?"

Sonia sighed and explained, "Hanson has become history. I sent someone to ask around, and apparently, something big had happened in the Li family just before we came here."

"Hanson and the Smith Group no longer run the Li family. They were kicked out by Sasha and now she's the head of the Li family and has most of the shares."

"How did Sasha defeat Hanson and the Smiths by herself?" Harper was surprised.

Abell frowned, "Didn't you say before that Sasha was disfigured and kept herself out of sight completely?"

Sonia sighed, "The rumors were true, but then things had changed. Sasha somehow obtained the support of Master Chen, and with that, she managed to retract the properties and took control of the Li family on behalf of him."

"Therefore, we have to change our original plan. We need to talk to Sasha but she's now different from who she used to be. I can't make an appointment with her within such a short time, so I made an appointment with a middlelevel manager, who is Eden. We'll settle our business proposition with him first, then we'll make our way to Sasha."

"The Li family now has Master Chen as their support so although Eden is only a middle-level manager, we must be mindful and treat him with respect. After all, if we have a good relationship with the Li family, we are indirectly connected to Master Chen, which will be beneficial for us. Does everyone understand?" Sonia explained.

"Yes!" They nodded and started to prepare their documents.

Fade was surprised to see that Momo, too, was preparing the documents, so he asked, "Momo, are you going to join the business meeting too?"

Momo nodded and earnestly said, "Fade, I'm not here to have fun. I want to put some effort into our family business and make a good business deal with the Li family."

Listening to her reply, Fade was dumbfounded. He looked at Momo and said, "Momo, you can just tell me if you want to talk to the Li family about business. I can arrange it for you. There's no need to make such a big fuss."

Momo pouted, "That won't do. If I take advantage and rely on you, I won't be able to improve myself."

Her reason was understandable so Fade nodded, "Well then, I won't interfere. You can talk to Eden all you want."

Harper and the others, who were sitting at the same table as them, heard Fade. They shook their heads and made fun of him.

"Oh please! Wake up and stop impersonating Master Chen!"

"I can arrange it for you,' he said. Do you really think that you can make arrangements with the Li family that easily?"

Momo wanted to defend Fade, but Sonia frowned and said, "Momo, we're going to have a business discussion. I don't think Fade should be here. I'll book him another table. He can have his meal there." "But..." Momo still wanted to say something.
