Jian Chunqiu only heard the name "Mr. Chu" and subconsciously thought they were referring to Chu Ge.
Without much hesitation, he inquired, "Chu Ge does indeed have a strong presence, but compared to me... tsk, it falls quite short."
Chu Ge hasn't lived even a fraction of his years, yet the aura of a superior is something ordinary people can't match.
Compared to him, well, that's quite a gap indeed.
Finally catching Chu Ge off guard and absent, he was all set to grandstand.
Shen Congwen and Tang Xin exchanged glances, both speculating on the old man's relationship with Chu Ge.
"Do you know Mr. Chu?" Shen Congwen asked doubtfully, familiar with Chu Ge's standing in Shanghai; very few could address Chu Ge by his full name. Even the heads of the Four Great Families reverently called him Mr. Chu, and here was this elder who used Chu Ge's full name, speaking as though he had a close relationship with him.
