Chapter 526 Then think it through before you come back to me.
Meng Chuan was truly surprised that the "King of Understanding" would actually attend Fifth Master's memorial service.
However, at this point he was just an ordinary businessman.
He has not yet announced his candidacy for president.
He walked into the hall with a serious expression, but his signature blond hair made him look quite young.
After offering three sticks of incense to Fifth Master with utmost respect, Dong Wang also came over to shake hands with Meng Chuan according to etiquette.
As Meng Chuan got closer, he realized even more how truly imposing this "King of Understanding" was.
Meng Chuan is 1.8 meters tall, and standing next to him looks like a child.
"Young Master Mengchuan, please accept my condolences."
When Trump shook hands with Meng Chuan, he instinctively reached out to pat Meng Chuan's elbow.
This is a habitual action of his, and also a way of showing his dominance.
This was also a tactic he frequently used in diplomatic protocol.
However, Meng Chuan shook hands with him only briefly before pulling away.
She stared at him with narrowed eyes, her gaze carrying a warning.
This caused Trump's hand, which was about to strike, to freeze in mid-air.
"I apologize, Young Master Meng Chuan, I meant no offense."
The King seemed very talkative and showed no embarrassment whatsoever despite Meng Chuan's obvious rejection.
He shrugged and said to Meng Chuan:
“I met Fifth Master once before. I admire him very much. No one understands him better than me. He is a remarkable person.”
The "know-it-all" tendencies have kicked in again.
Meng Chuan was very suspicious; he had never even met Fifth Master.
With his current net worth of three to four billion US dollars, he's not even as wealthy as the Green Gang.
They have absolutely no right to associate with Fifth Master.
Even within the entire circle of wealthy people in the United States, he is now a dispensable figure.
The truly top-tier billionaires are people whose names many have never even heard of.
However, he only began to emerge in June of this year when he announced his candidacy.
He was elected in November, which made him one of the most sought-after people in the United States and even the world.
However, Meng Chuan remained silent and continued to stare at Trump while he boasted.
Even someone as thick-skinned as Trump felt embarrassed by this.
After all, he was just there to impersonate a "common soldier".
He was not qualified to attend the banquet.
I just wanted to show my face at the memorial service.
After all, memorial services are not by invitation; anyone can attend.
However, unless someone has some connection with Fifth Master or the Green Gang, they won't shamelessly come.
But then Trump arrived, and it seemed that Meng Chuan was about to see through his tricks.
"Do you want to be the President of the United States?"
Meng Chuan suddenly spoke up and asked in English.
The question left the King speechless.
He certainly wants to run for president.
In fact, he had this idea many years ago.
However, Trump knew very well what was going on.
His chances of success in running for office are not high.
He is not the richest person in the United States.
But he is definitely the most concerned about saving face.
He never does anything without being absolutely certain of success.
He truly hadn't expected Meng Chuan to ask him so bluntly.
He asked himself if he had any connection with the Green Gang.
He didn't even have any interaction with Fifth Master or Meng Chuan, the young master.
He didn't understand how Meng Chuan knew he wanted to be the president of the United States.
"Young Master Meng Chuan, I don't understand what you mean?"
The King paused for more than ten seconds before asking the question.
"Since you don't understand, then figure it out before you come back to me."
Meng Chuan waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Meng Chuan knew that Trump was shrewd and cunning.
Trying to play dumb in front of him? Trump has chosen the wrong person.
In fact, no one understands him better than Meng Chuan.
He is a person without any sense of rules, who does whatever he wants.
Such people may be difficult to control, but they can also be exploited.
However, if he tries to outsmart Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan won't tolerate it.
"No, no, no, Young Master Meng Chuan..."
The King was about to speak when he heard the urgency.
But Meng Chuan looked at him impatiently:
"I told you, think it through before you come back to me. Now get lost."
Meng Chuan's attitude was very tough.
Of course, Meng Chuan didn't want to show off in front of him.
Instead, Meng Chuan needed him to clearly understand that when dealing with him, he shouldn't use the business world's methods.
That approach doesn't work on Meng Chuan.
"I……"
"Please leave, immediately."
However, Trump wanted to say something more.
But Yingdie stepped forward coldly.
No one can disobey Meng Chuan's orders.
Shadow Butterfly doesn't care who Trump is.
As Yingdie shouted coldly, everyone in the Green Gang looked over.
They thought someone would dare to cause trouble here!
They are all now immersed in grief over the loss of Fifth Master.
I was just looking for a way to vent!
If someone dares to cause trouble, aren't they just walking into the line of fire?
Therefore, the members of the Green Gang gathered together as quickly as possible.
"Alright, alright, I'll leave right away. Young Master Meng Chuan, please accept my condolences. Everyone, please accept my condolences as well."
The King does know some of the rules.
He knew that no one would stop him from coming to pay his respects to Fifth Master.
But even if he had a thousand times the courage, he would never dare to cause trouble at Fifth Master's memorial service.
So he hurriedly nodded and slunk away.
"Young Master, should I go and give him a few whacks?"
After seeing that Dong Wang had left, Zhan Qi stepped forward and asked Meng Chuan in a low voice.
"What are you trying to do? We're a corporation now, not some gangsters. Stop thinking about fighting and killing all the time."
Meng Chuan rolled his eyes at Zhan Qi.
Zhan Qi then slunk away.
"Young Master, do you intend to put him on the presidential throne? Can he be trusted?"
After Zhan Qi stepped down, Ying Die hesitated for a moment and asked Meng Chuan.
Because Meng Chuan's behavior was very unusual.
Logically, since this was Meng Chuan's first time in the United States, he shouldn't have known this "King of Knowledge".
Even Yingdie only investigated because Meng Chuan had mentioned Dong Wang.
But Meng Chuan said he would become the president of the United States in the future, which is very unreasonable!
"Whether you can trust someone or not, how can I put it? If you put anyone in the presidency, you can't trust them."
Meng Chuan said helplessly:
"Power corrupts them and inflates their ego."
"But relatively speaking, this person only likes to make money, and will stop at nothing to make money, and doesn't like war. If he becomes president, it would be more in our interest."
Meng Chuan's soul transmigrated in September 2024.
Whether Trump will be elected president in 2025 is unknown to Meng Chuan.
But as far as Meng Chuan knows, Trump's first term as president was not very successful.
After all, a businessman without a political foundation simply cannot be a good president.
It is precisely because it is not good that it better suits Meng Chuan's needs.
Moreover, history has destined him to be elected president, and even Meng Chuan cannot stop him.
Since we can't stop it, why not go with the flow?
If Meng Chuan can make good use of him, Meng Chuan might even have some say in his policies in the future.
Therefore, Meng Chuan didn't mind contributing money and effort to help him!
"Young Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Yingdie suddenly hesitated.
"explain."
"Fifth Master established a rule: the Green Gang will not get involved in politics."
