Chapter 1715 -1655: Kick Him Out (2)
The waiter was struck and bent forward slightly, a humiliating expression flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it, and forced a smile, saying: âYoung Master Zhou, Iâm just a mere waiter, you are all honored guests, this is really beyond my ability to handle.â
âHonored guest my foot, only Young Master Zhou can be called an honored guest, what are they anyway?â At this moment, Xiao Hui played the role of a lackey to perfection.
The waiter said with a bitter face: âThatâs true for Young Master Zhou, but to me, everyone here is an honored guest. If Young Master Zhou insists, Iâll go find our manager.â
âThen hurry up, stop dawdling like an idiot,â Xiao Hui shouted again.
The waiter hurriedly left. It was clearly a place of trouble, where one misstep could lead to much worse consequences.
Chapter 1656
With a disdainful and gloating tone, Xiao Hui lifted his chin and said: âHeh, while no one has come to kick you out, hurry up and eat, otherwise there wonât be anything left for you.â
Wang Bing laughed heartily, saying: âYouâre wrong, they wonât just have no food here, they might not have anything to eat outside either.â
Zhou Xiyun snorted coldly and said menacingly: âYoung Master Wang, youâre right. They might really not have another chance to eat. Better eat more now while you can, just in case you end up being a full ghost.â
Yet Song Xiaodong and his two companions still remained calm, leisurely eating, as if treating them as air.
This made Zhou Xiyun feel as though heâd put all his strength into a punch only to hit air, producing a frustrating feeling that was indescribable.
Fortunately, at this time two people walked over quickly, one of them a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a suit, looking quite impressive, clearly not a simple character. He was the organizer of the event, the president of the renowned Xin Xing Group, Director Wu Baoxin.
This situation was too severe to simply send guests away; the waiter felt that even finding the manager might not resolve it properly, so he directly approached Wu Baoxin.
âYoung Master Zhou, whatâs happening?â Wu Baoxin was quite courteous in his attitude towards Young Master Zhou.
Xin Xing Group is no small company, with assets exceeding a billion, holding a significant status in the business world. However, compared to the big families, they still lack some depth, especially against a prominent family like the Zhou Family, which he canât afford to offend, even a frivolous heir like Zhou Xiyun must be treated with respect.
âDirector Wu, such a trivial matter, Iâm surprised it caught your attention,â Zhou Xiyun remained relatively humble towards Wu Baoxin, speaking with considerable politeness.
Wu Baoxin smiled and said: âYoung Master Zhou, youâre too kind. Your matters are never trivial.â His gaze swept over Song Xiaodong and his companions, failing to recognize them whatsoever.
Wu Baoxinâs attitude greatly pleased Zhou Xiyun, who looked at Song Xiaodong and said: âDirector Wu, I find this guy really unpleasant, so Iâd like you to send him out.â
Wu Baoxin had already considered ways to handle the matter upon arriving. Seeing that Song Xiaodong and his companions were unfamiliar, he quickly formed a plan and said sternly: âYoung Master Zhou, everyone is here for the banquet, for some enjoyment. For the sake of my face, Iâd ask them to apologize to you, properly make amends, how about that?â
Zhou Xiyun furrowed his brows, saying: âSince Director Wu says so, I have to give you face.â
âWell, thank you, Young Master Zhou.â Wu Baoxin sighed in relief; he feared Zhou Xiyunâs stubbornness could complicate things.
Turning, Wu Baoxin said to Song Xiaodong: âYoung man, do apologize to Young Master Zhou, and letâs move past this matter.â
Wu Baoxin felt his method was undoubtedly impeccable, considering both partiesâ dignity and making the big issue small, handling it quite comprehensively.
Yet he overlooked Song Xiaodongâs status.
With Song Xiaodongâs standing, even if he was at fault, he wouldnât apologize lightly; it wasnât showmanship but a consideration of his representation. Heâs the head of the Su Family and the Young Master of the Dragon Gate, neither position easily affords apologies.
Furthermore, he wasnât bullying others with power; others were provoking him, and heâs reluctant to bother with such spoiled brats, let alone apologize.
Raising his head, he gave Wu Baoxin a glance, and without uttering a word, continued eating.
Zhou Xiyun snorted, saying: âDirector Wu, did you see? How arrogant they must be, not even giving you face; now, tell me if I wish to eject them, am I being arrogant and domineering?â
Wu Baoxin frowned and said: âYoung man, I donât know who brought you here, but let me remind you, Young Master Zhou is someone you canât afford to provoke. If this escalates, it wonât bode well for you.â
Song Xiaodong wiped his hands and finally responded slowly: âYouâre right, I donât want this to escalate.â
Wu Baoxinâs eyebrows tightened again; Song Xiaodongâs calm demeanor carried an assertiveness not often seen among other young people.
âSo what do you propose?â Wu Baoxin asked with a serious expression.
Song Xiaodong replied nonchalantly: âI donât care for an apology, just make him disappear from my sight, and I wonât pursue the matter.â
âWhat?â Wu Baoxin couldnât help but exclaim.
Zhou Xiyun snorted again, saying: âDirector Wu, see how arrogant he is. Now you tell me, do I have a reason to want him out?â
Wu Baoxinâs mouth twitched slightly, saying: âYoung man, youâre quite unaware of the dangers, this is Young Master Zhou, an heir of the Zhou Family, one of the top family names in Nanyun Province and Kun City, someone you cannot afford to provoke. Didnât the person who brought you here tell you this? By the way, who did bring you? Itâs normal for young people to be a bit wild, but consider that your arrogance might bring significant trouble to whoever brought you.â
Wu Baoxin assumed Song Xiaodong relied on the person who invited him, hence his inquiries into the background, while signaling the manager with a glance.
The manager immediately took out his phone, starting to investigate.
Song Xiaodong still spoke indifferently: âDonât worry, there wonât be any trouble.â
At this moment, the manager whispered in Wu Baoxinâs ear: âThey received their invitation cards just an hour ago, previously they werenât included in our invitation list, it was directly arranged by Director Chen.â
Wu Baoxin felt shocked; the banquet was jointly held by several entities, and Director Chen was one of the main organizers, the most influential among them. Although the invitation cards could be added if agreed upon by the top organizers, for Director Chen to add cards at this time seemed peculiar.
Looking again at Song Xiaodong and his companionsâ calm attitudes, even after mentioning Zhou Xiyunâs prestigious family background they remained unfazed. It forced Wu Baoxin to doubt Song Xiaodongâs own background.
