Chapter 2441: Chapter 2240: Minghe’s Ah_2

"Boss Niu, although this Mr. Song is not one of the people in your circle, he is an honored guest to our temple. Boss Niu, please do me a favor and treat Mr. Song as a guest I have invited!" Master Futian said to Boss Niu.

Boss Niu didn’t know what to say now. After all, even though Boss Niu gave Yunzhong Temple a lot of money, he was still technically just a guest. To outsiders, the host begging the guest in such a humble manner was already quite respectful.

So Boss Niu also said nothing and turned around to enter the temple’s mountain gate.

The big and small bosses following Boss Niu still looked disdainfully at Song Xiaodong but didn’t understand why Master Futian insisted on inviting him in. Each had some thoughts, but none showed them. Instead, after giving Song Xiaodong another careful look, they quickly followed Boss Niu into the temple.

"Mr. Song, please." Master Futian made a respectful gesture to Song Xiaodong.

"Director Zhou, let’s go." Song Xiaodong turned to Zhou Yuanzhi, who was staring in amazement, and said.

"Okay, okay, okay, Mr. Song, you go first!" Zhou Yuanzhi also made a gesture inviting Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong was not modest, held his head high, and walked into the Yunzhong Temple entrance.

Following behind Song Xiaodong, Zhou Yuanzhi quietly said to him: "Mr. Song, you really have hidden depths; I worried for nothing all the way here, even tried to plead with those big bosses for you. It turns out Mr. Song knows Master Futian!"

"I don’t know him." Song Xiaodong calmly replied.

"Mr. Song, don’t fool me. If you don’t know him, why is Master Futian so respectful to you?" Zhou Yuanzhi said with a sycophantic smile, looking at Song Xiaodong.

"I don’t know." Song Xiaodong genuinely answered.

"Mr. Song, you’re just not telling me anything." Zhou Yuanzhi pointed at Song Xiaodong as he spoke.

"But I must thank Director Zhou for speaking up for me." Song Xiaodong said to Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Mr. Song, you’re far too polite. In any case, you are my physician – you helped make me a man again. That’s such a huge favor; what’s a few words from me?" Zhou Yuanzhi said.

The two followed behind, while a group surrounded Boss Niu in the front. Master Futian moved between the two groups, attending to Song Xiaodong and checking Boss Niu’s expressions, leading them to a meditation room, arranging for everyone to sit and serve them each a cup of fragrant tea.

"Please enjoy!"

The gathering of bosses, usually talking about business, didn’t share many inside stories this time. Instead, it was just a platform for mutual acquaintance; if any two bosses found their businesses could connect, they would contact each other privately.

After chatting for a while, the focus returned to Boss Niu.

Boss Niu’s assistant took out a briefcase, which seemed small but was difficult to lift.

"Master Futian, I am very pleased that you personally presided over this retreat ceremony. This is a grand charitable act; only some ignorant people disrupted the atmosphere. Everything else was excellent, so since I’ve come, I can’t come empty-handed. This is a Diamond Sutra carved by Jin Baocheng, a top domestic goldsmith, who personally worked on it for six months. It’s crafted entirely in gold. Jin Baocheng, almost 90 years old, personally polished it. It is the only one, sent to Master Futian as a gift." Boss Niu proudly said to Master Futian and present bosses.

"Quick, open it!" Boss Niu told his assistant.

President Liu’s assistant opened the briefcase, revealing a beautifully decorated silk box. Inside, there was a golden Buddhist scripture.

"Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra."

"Wow, Boss Niu is indeed generous!" Wang Shangjin seized the opportunity to flatter Boss Niu.

"Yes, crafted in pure gold, the foil is thin as paper, yet it holds tens of thousands of inscribed words; truly a treasure beyond value!" Ma Jiayi was also full of praise for Boss Niu’s gift.

"Thank you, Boss Niu. Boss Niu’s generous donations and widespread cultivation are truly commendable!" Master Futian folded his hands, thanking Boss Niu.

"Boss Niu’s generosity in furthering our nation’s religious mission and good deeds is truly exemplary for us small bosses!" Wang Shangjin said again to Boss Niu.

"Yes, none of us are as wealthy as Boss Niu. After Boss Niu presented his gift to Master Futian, we’re embarrassed to show ours!" Ma Jiayi added.

Boss Niu, being flattered by everyone’s praises, glanced sideways at Song Xiaodong, calculating something, and then spoke to Song Xiaodong: "Mr. Song, Master Futian says you are a distinguished guest of Yunzhong Temple. Everyone at Yunzhong Temple is honored by your presence; I’m wondering what gift the honored guest has prepared for Master Futian?"

"Mr. Song, there is no need; Mr. Song’s presence alone brings us great joy, and we would never dare covet Mr. Song’s gifts!"

Before Song Xiaodong could speak, Master Futian intervened tactfully, while Boss Niu originally intended to embarrass Song Xiaodong but didn’t anticipate Master Futian defending Song Xiaodong after accepting his gold gift.
