Chapter 1348 Chen Jun, feeling cheated, starts live streaming to ask for money
Night fell quietly, and the city gradually awakened under the lights, revealing a bustling and bustling atmosphere completely different from the daytime. Yajie'er had already parked the car safely at the designated spot. As the leader of the Judgment Sect, she personally waited for Chen Jun. After Chen Jun got in, she expertly started the car and sped off towards the Bishui Paradise Club.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang, the legitimate head of the guard regiment, was left out in the cold. While he felt helpless, he couldn't afford to slack off in his duties. Chen Jun's last mishap was due to a moment of carelessness. This time, Chen Jun was attending a private banquet, and it was obvious that his identity was likely to be exposed.
If the Chen army were in danger again, Xu Yang felt that even if the commander didn't blame him, he wouldn't be able to stay in the army and would probably have to go home in disgrace to plant sweet potatoes. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and led his team, like a mole in the dark, carefully lurking and following.
When Chen Jun arrived at the entrance of the club under the escort of the hacker agent of Judgment Gate, the night had completely enveloped the earth.
Chen Jun wore a neatly trimmed uniform, three gold stars adorning his shoulders. Under the light, the stars shone with a dazzling brilliance, outshining even the bright lights of the clubhouse. These three stars were not just symbols of rank; they were medals of honor for his bravery and exploits on the battlefield. They were the highest honor a soldier could receive, and how could the dazzling lights of this world compare to them?
As soon as he stepped into the clubhouse, Chen Jun, who hadn't been to such an occasion in a long time, couldn't help but be taken aback by the scene before him. Wow, the entrance to the clubhouse was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Even though Chen Jun wasn't a car enthusiast, he could tell at a glance that these cars were extraordinary, each one showcasing the owner's wealth and status.
The avenues on both sides of the club were bustling with traffic, people coming in and out in an endless stream, laughter and joy intertwined, as if this was the focus of the entire city.
Old Wen, a reliable man, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chen Jun get out of the car, he immediately smiled broadly, like a welcoming pine tree, and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "General Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
At the same time, Lao Fan also hurried over with the club's security and protected Chen Jun closely.
Chen Jun nodded slightly and hummed. He glanced around, surprised, and asked, "Why did you create such a big scene? How many people did you invite to this banquet?"
Old Wen smiled with a hint of pride, saying, "Originally, Old Fan and I only knew about one or two hundred bigwigs from all walks of life. But somehow, after the news spread through various channels, many bigwigs came here to visit, some even coming from other places. So, now the number has exceeded five hundred, and it's still increasing. It's impossible to accurately count them at the moment. Of course, all of them are either wealthy or noble."
Chen Jun frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "You mean, you exposed my identity as a general, and that's why they came here?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Old Wen's face, and he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, General Chen. Otherwise, it really wouldn't have attracted so many prominent figures. Think about it, when they heard that a general in his early twenties was going to hold a fundraising event, they were all very curious. Besides, your current identity has actually been exposed by the country, and it's not a secret anymore. Recently, after the successful launch of our country's missiles and the report of the attack and killing incident were released, many people in the country knew that our Yan country had produced an extraordinary young general, so..." As Old Wen spoke, his face showed some uneasiness, fearing that Chen Jun would blame him.
Old Fan also smiled and nodded. Clearly, these two "sinkholes" had the same idea, using Chen Jun's identity to attract people. After all, this attraction was too strong.
"This... Damn it, I was so careless. After all these years, you're still so good at setting traps for me." Chen Jun muttered to himself, then paused for a moment, feeling like he'd been badly tricked. If he hadn't urgently needed a large sum of money to support a research project, he'd have wanted to curse right then and there. No wonder the club was so busy, so many people had come because of his reputation as a young general. He'd originally thought these two guys had extensive connections, able to gather a crowd with just a wave of their hands, but after all this commotion, the root of the problem was himself.
Seeing that Chen Jun looked unhappy, Lao Fan hurriedly explained awkwardly: "Commander Chen, it's true, your identity is no longer a secret now. Especially after the last attack, the country also released some relevant evidence, including your photo. So everyone knows you, and they are willing to come just for your resounding title. We are just acting as a bridge and a connection in the middle, hehe..." In Lao Fan's eyes, no matter how prominent Chen Jun's identity is outside, and how many powerful people he controls, in the hacker base, Chen Jun will always be his commander.
"Forget it, everyone is here, what else can I do? Anyway, I'm not afraid of those monsters, let's go in." Chen Jun waved his hands helplessly, thinking that since things have come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
"Okay..." Lao Wen and Lao Fan were overjoyed when they saw that Chen Jun was not angry. They immediately stood on the left and right to welcome Chen Jun into the club.
Upon entering the clubhouse lobby, Chen Jun was genuinely stunned by the scene. The bustle here was almost more outrageous than a rural banquet. Who could have imagined so many prominent figures from all walks of life gathering together for such a grand spectacle? A rough estimate suggested there were at least six hundred people present, and more were constantly arriving.
Chen Jun keenly noticed the interesting way these people stood, like soldiers in formation, clearly divided. Different groups formed different lines, and even for someone not particularly sociable, he could clearly sense that the truly wealthy exuded a unique aura, both in their eyes and their posture.
Old Wen led Chen Jun straight to the podium. It was actually a platform slightly elevated above the ground, with a microphone placed on it. Old Wen took the microphone, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Dear guests, hello! Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this banquet."
The originally noisy voices in the hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone turned around and cast their eyes towards the stage.
"You are all elites from all walks of life and outstanding representatives of your region. On behalf of the army, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to be here. Next, I would like to solemnly introduce an important person to you all. This person is our Yan Nation's youngest general - General Chen!"
In fact, Old Wen didn't need much introduction. Everyone's attention wasn't on the slightly balding Old Wen; their gazes had already settled on Chen Jun. Chen Jun stood tall and straight, like a majestic pine tree, his demeanor high and mighty. The three golden stars on his shoulders shone brightly under the lights, seemingly illuminating the entire hall. Instantly, even the elite present were captivated by Chen Jun's unique aura and powerful presence.
"This is the real young general!"
"He's still a general, and he's so young, it's really scary!"
"Is that the young general mentioned in the recent national report who shocked the United States?"
"He's too young. I heard he was once attacked by the United States. It was this incident that sparked the conflict between the two countries and allowed the whole world to see the strength of our country. Before we knew it, our country has once again stood at the top of the world."
"I've seen the photos reported by the media. It's him, it's him, it's definitely him..." A lady couldn't help but scream softly, but she tried to lower her voice and try her best to maintain her proper demeanor and not lose her composure.
Businessmen who have been working in the business world for many years usually don't chase after celebrities, but at this moment, with such a young and promising general standing in front of them, coupled with the recent overwhelming media coverage, Chen Jun is simply a shining existence in their eyes, undoubtedly the most dazzling star on the scene.
At that moment, Chen Jun stood on the stage, his posture erect, like a towering pine tree. Amidst thunderous applause, he nodded slightly to the audience. He was slightly shocked, feeling the atmosphere was like a celebrity meet-and-greet. The excitement, like the eight-second sea of red for their idol, was truly exaggerated. Even with his keen hearing, he could hear someone in the crowd whispering, asking if the young general had a partner.
At this moment, Old Fan took the stage. He, likewise dressed in military uniform, looked dashing. Picking up the microphone, he beamed, "Please keep General Chen's identity confidential. However, I can share some information. Recently, our nation sank a US aircraft carrier, a powerful weapon successfully struck the West Coast, and the Flying Fortress fighter jet was launched, bombing the US base in Xiaorizi... General Chen was present in all of these major events. It's no exaggeration to say that he was the central figure in them all. It's precisely because of these remarkable contributions that he, in his early twenties, became a full-fledged general, breaking national records."
"So, the one standing before you is a living legend!"
Old Fan's words were always smooth and often boastful, but the audience just loved it. Soon, another round of applause erupted. This time, it wasn't just the ladies who were excited, like they were chasing stars. Even the men present had stars in their eyes, full of admiration and praise for Chen Jun. This was the demeanor of a strong man, and it was undeniable. Just ask yourself, who else in the world could achieve such brilliant achievements today? In ancient times, only a handful of young generals could achieve such feats, all of whom were remembered by history and lauded by future generations. At that moment, everyone in the audience felt as if they had participated in a historical legend. This sense of satisfaction was overwhelming, and everyone felt that the trip was truly worthwhile.
However, Chen Jun, who was on the stage, felt deeply betrayed when he heard Lao Fan reveal so many secrets. He approached Lao Fan calmly and said in a low voice, "That's enough. Why did you reveal all these secrets at once?"
Lao Fan lowered his voice and explained with an apologetic smile, "Commander, even if I didn't say it, someone would have recognized you. The country has now allowed you to make your image public. Otherwise, how could your photo not have been deleted by the National Security Bureau? I've seen it on many forums, and it's quite clear."
After hearing this, Chen Jun was speechless for a moment. He wondered in his heart, was this guy's words true or not? He had been too busy recently and had no time to worry about whether his personal image would be exposed. However, after thinking about it for a while, it seemed to be true. After he decided to attend this banquet and reported it to the military, there was no special reaction from above. If it were in the past, the National Security Bureau would have jumped out to stop him long ago. It seems that after the country became stronger, it has formed enough deterrent power. Perhaps there is really no need to hide some things too deeply. Sometimes, hiding too deeply will make people think it is a paper tiger.
However, he still felt that these two guys were too good at cheating people. They didn't explain everything to him in advance, and now they are bragging about everything. It is really outrageous... It seems that he has to be more careful when dealing with these two guys in the future, otherwise he might be cheated by them at any time, and maybe they themselves won't know why things turned out like this.
While I was daydreaming, Lao Fan had already handed the microphone to Chen Jun and asked him to say a few words.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Chen Jun suddenly quieted down as soon as he spoke.
"First of all, I want to say that as a soldier, I like to be straightforward. I came here this time because I encountered some difficulties, and I want everyone's help. So, you should have seen the reports about our recent use of powerful weapons to intimidate the border of the United States, right?"
Seeing... the response from below was thunderous, the crowd was excited, and the response was very enthusiastic.
"Our country is currently developing such a weapon, but it's extremely expensive. The annual cost of developing, maintaining, launching, and maintaining a single weapon is fifty times the cost of a small target. According to national policy, we can't afford to continue to do what we did in the past. If we encounter unfair things, such as our citizens being bullied or missing abroad, we can simply protest at home. Therefore..."
Chen Jun paused, and as everyone nodded in silence, he raised his voice, "We need to develop the first batch of large-scale weapons. Our missile reserves are only one-sixth of America's. It's far from enough, and the cost is too high. The country is currently running out of money. I have no choice but to reveal my identity and come to you..."
A tycoon who looked like a grassroots hero immediately chimed in, "General Chen, I understand what you mean. Only with national security can we businesspeople have a good business environment. Without it, we're nothing. I'm willing to be the first to donate. I'll contribute 100 small goals, and I'll add to that later."
Shit... Chen Jun looked at this short-statured big man, but he was very imposing. As soon as he opened his mouth, his whole image became taller, overwhelmed by his aura as a general.
He started with a hundred small goals. In comparison, Mr. Ye, the military leader, is really stingy.
