Clang!
Upon hearing Shui Xiong’s words, Shen Yuyan instinctively felt that sothing was amiss.
However, she did not show it on the surface, but instead maintained a professional smile and asked Shui Xiong,
"Then, Manager Shui, may I know who this honored guest you ntioned is? Could you reveal a bit about him to first?"
"Hehe, I’ve ntioned that he’s an honored guest, so naturally, so mystery is necessary. If I disclose it now, wouldn’t that spoil the fun? Mr. Shen, don’t you agree?"
Shui Xiong’s smile did not reach his eyes as he glanced at Zhu Fei, standing behind Shen Yuyan, then continued,
"This way, I won’t hide the truth from you. If you can just make my guest happy later, not only can we discuss our business, but I can also assure you that those shareholders of your company will never bother you again from now on."
"However, I hope that for our dinner later, only you, Mr. Shen, will attend. As for your friend, I can arrange for the club to provide him with satisfactory service. What do you think about that, Mr. Shen?"
After hearing Shui Xiong’s words, the smile on Shen Yuyan’s face finally could not be maintained.
By now, she was almost certain that the honored guest Shui Xiong referred to was most likely Bai Pojun, the notorious womanizer.
Thinking of the subtle implications in Shui Xiong’s recent words, Shen Yuyan’s heart involuntary plumted.
She stared into Shui Xiong’s eyes, intently watching him for a while, before finally shaking her head and saying,
"Sorry, Manager Shui, I’m afraid I cannot agree to your request. Additionally, my friend ca here with today. If you are unwilling to let him join the dinner, then I must apologize, but I will have to take my leave now."
With that, Shen Yuyan made a move to leave.
Seeing this, the cold smirk on Shui Xiong’s face finally completely disappeared, replaced by a solicitous deanor.
"Wait a mont, Mr. Shen, let’s not be hasty. We can discuss this matter calmly. As the president of the Shen Corporation, I’m sure you can take a small joke, right?"
"All right, I was wrong earlier; I apologize first. Please."
Saying this, Shui Xiong slightly bowed to Shen Yuyan in a very gentlemanly manner and extended his hand to her, making an inviting gesture.
He was well aware that his task today was to introduce Shen Yuyan to that honored guest.
The reason he had spoken earlier was partly to intimidate Shen Yuyan for being late, and partly to lay the groundwork for later developnts to test Shen Yuyan.
However, considering Shen Yuyan’s earlier response, it seed she was not easily swayed.
But that was not important. Shui Xiong believed that once Shen Yuyan entered the private room later, how she would act would no longer be her choice to make.
Before that, he had to stabilize Shen Yuyan; he could not afford to let her actually leave due to what he had just said.
If that truly happened, he would have no way to explain it to that honored guest.
Seeing Shui Xiong suddenly lower his stance, Shen Yuyan sighed inwardly, knowing that even if she wanted to leave, it would not be appropriate to say so now.
Thus, she could only nod slightly to Shui Xiong and, under his invitation, headed to the upstairs private room with Zhu Fei and Zhao Jing.
...
A few monts later, several people stopped in front of a private room marked with the number ’2’.
Shui Xiong raised his hand and gently knocked twice on the door of the private room, then imdiately twisted open the door and turned around with a smile to Shen Yuyan, "Mr. Shen, please."
After speaking, he took a few steps back, ca to Zhu Fei’s side, and seed to be making way for Shen Yuyan, but actually whispered a warning in Zhu Fei’s ear:
"Kid, I don’t care what the relationship is between you and Shen Yuyan, but I would still advise you to quickly leave if you know what’s good for you and stay out of these matters."
In Shui Xiong’s view, Zhu Fei, such a youngster, surely did not have the audacity to challenge people like them. He only needed to apply slight pressure to make him obediently comply.
However, what Shui Xiong could never have expected was that upon hearing his warning, Zhu Fei did not leave obediently as he had hoped. Instead, Zhu Fei looked at him as if he were looking at a fool and similarly whispered teasingly in his ear:
"Fool, the one who should know better is you."
After Zhu Fei finished speaking, he did not wait for Shui Xiong to react but instead followed Shen Yuyan and Zhao Jing directly into the private room.
"Click!"
Shui Xiong’s fists clenched suddenly; he stared dead at Zhu Fei’s departing back, his expression suddenly turned hideously ferocious.
He really had not expected Zhu Fei, such a young man, to actually have the courage to provoke him in this manner.
No! From the fearless deanor of Zhu Fei just now, it wasn’t just a re provocation—it was an insult! A blatant insult!
"Little beast! To dare speak to your Grandpa Shui like that, I will definitely make you experience suffering!"
Shui Xiong bitterly finished speaking and finally readjusted his mood, stepping into the private room.
...
As Zhu Fei and Shen Yuyan had just entered the private room, his eyes imdiately noticed a young man sitting in the premier seat.
The man appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
He was wearing a pure hand-made white tailcoat and a limited-edition Rolex on his wrist, quite handso in appearance, exuding confidence throughout his entire being just by sitting there.
However, from the slightly sinister look between his brows, this person was clearly not as mild and sunny as he appeared on the surface.
The blood that had once stained his hands, in Zhu Fei’s view, probably numbered close to a hundred, and all were of the deeply resentful kind.
However, what concerned Zhu Fei the most was the extrely evil aura emanating from this man, as well as the yellow-faced, burly man behind him.
According to Zhu Fei’s estimation, both were Martial Artists.
The young man was in the Initial Stage of Power Realm, cultivating a wicked Cultivation Technique that likely involved harnessing Yin to supplent Yang.
As for the burly man behind him, his cultivation was at Half-step Gang Strength, his aura contained, breathing steady, probably not far from reaching true Gang Force.
Zhu Fei really hadn’t expected to encounter such high-level Martial Artists at this dinner.
...
"Hehe, Mr. Bai, let introduce to you, this is the president of Shen Corp who I ntioned to you before, Mr. Shen, Shen Yuyan."
Just then, Shui Xiong suddenly approached the young man eagerly, speaking to him with a markedly polite attitude.
