Chapter 117: Invincible Club!
Xu Yunxiao felt depressed.
How could he have the nerve to eat so freely?
Qin Feng, on the other hand, thought that since someone was eager to please, why waste the opportunity? After all, they wouldn't succeed, so he might as well enjoy a free meal.
He would never order such a lavish spread himself, even though he could afford it.
Seeing Qin Feng just start eating without any hesitation, a trace of contempt flashed in Chu Yuxuan's eyes.
Just like the rumors, an uncultured loser without any dignity!
Seeing this, Xu Yunxiao had no choice but to sit down and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry..."
Chu Yuxuan immediately interrupted her refusal, saying, "Miss Xu, just consider it making a new friend."
With that said,
he snapped his fingers handsomely.
Immediately, a foreign orchestra came over to play the violin for them.
Fine wine, good food, and relaxing music.
What was supposed to be a pleasant dinner seemed somewhat out of place with Qin Feng's manner of eating amid the romantic atmosphere.
"Not bad, but the flavor of this West Lake Vinegar Fish could be fresher and more tender."
"And this Braised Pork Belly isn't greasy but lacks some charm."
"The spiciness of this Chongqing Spicy Chicken could be stronger and have more Inner Strength."
"..."
"Overall, having so many dishes at once is quite nice."
Qin Feng continued to eat heartily while critiquing the food.
Chu Yuxuan's eyebrows furrowed at the sight.
These dishes were specially prepared by one of the top ten chefs in the country; what does this bumpkin from the countryside know!
After a pause,
Chu Yuxuan asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Qin, at which esteemed place are you employed?"
"Enough," Qin Feng, having had his fill, rinsed his mouth with a 1990 Lafite and wiped his mouth with a napkin, said, "I'm so famous, how could you not know? You just want to mock me for being a waiter, to flaunt your sense of superiority in front of my wife, right?"
"..."
Chu Yuxuan was taken aback, as he was hit right on the nose.
But he was quick to respond, smiling, "Mr. Qin has misunderstood me. What I meant was that you could come work for me; we just happen to be in need of a manager."
He emphasized the word "manager" heavily.
"Do you have anything as good as Wanfu Building here?"
Qin Feng retorted.
"..."
Chu Yuxuan was left speechless.
Was this guy stupid?
Even though this place wasn't as prestigious as Wanfu Building, for God's sake, you're just a waiter; how can you compare to the manager here?
It was clear he was looking down on the position of manager at his hotel!
Just a rustic fool!
Completely unreasonable!
Chu Yuxuan simply stopped paying attention to him and started talking to Xu Yunxiao.
He had clearly done his homework.
They only chatted about topics that interested Xu Yunxiao, such as the affairs of Lake City's upper echelons.
For example, the inspirational life of Feng Guoqiang from Er Long Group, the romance and splendor of the wealthy Zhou Family in Lake City, and the heroic deeds of the underworld king Pang Dahai, among others.
Originally, Xu Yunxiao wasn't very interested in these gossips.
But since her status kept rising, and she encountered more and more people from the upper circles, she found herself entering a new world, feeling completely out of her depth and barely keeping her footing, so she wanted to understand these matters better.
"In our Lake City, the most powerful forces besides the Zhou, Liu, and Li three major families would be the Wanfu Building," Chu Yuxuan spoke incessantly, "Wanfu Building has no industry of its own, but it possesses the strongest network of connections in Lake City. You know about President Wei Yunxiang, right? Her reputation in Lake City is said to be second only to the Zhou and Liu families."
"That impressive?"
Mr. Qin, who was nearby, couldn't help but ask.
He indeed knew that Wei Yunxiang had strong social skills in Lake City, but she always appeared very respectful when she saw him, so he hadn't realized she was actually this formidable.
"Ignorance!"
Chu Yuxuan looked down on Qin Feng with a glance and continued, "Originally, she wasn't that powerful, but Wanfu Building got a new boss, and there are rumors that this new boss is a mysterious magnate from Jiang City. Do you understand the meaning behind 'mysterious'?"
"The term 'mysterious' implies that there is a top-tier circle in this world, whose members are much more powerful than the wealthy businessmen we see, and even many of those wealthy businessmen we can name actually work for them."
"Such people are the real big shots. Before the situation is clear, even the Zhou, Liu, and Li families dare not mess with them lightly, hence President Wei's status also climbed a lot."
"Of course, these aren't things that the likes of you lower-level waitstaff would know."
Chu Yuxuan proudly took a sip of his tea.
At this moment, Xu Yunxiao felt as though her eyes were being opened to a whole new world, saying, "So that's how it is; no wonder we rarely see the owners of many companies."
Chu Yuxuan, seeing her interest, continued, "Take the former owner of Haohan Company, for instance, Fu Jiangxing, the wealthiest man in Hanjiang Province. Rumors have it that he's part of that top-tier circle. He never shows his face publicly, leaving all business dealings to his subordinates, including those handled by the new owner."
"Right, now that you mention it, I haven't even met the new boss of Haohan yet!"
Xu Yunxiao mentioned.
All collaboration matters, including signing contracts and the like, were always handled by Jiang Zhongtian and Shen Lu.
"What you don't know is, the rumors say this boss is extremely powerful with an exceedingly deep background, not just anybody can provoke them. Otherwise, Fu Jiangxing wouldn't have handed over the Haohan Company so easily."
"There are also rumors that he is a playboy from the top-tier circle, and Haohan Company is merely a tool for him to romance women. Shen Lu, Luo Hongyan, Jiang Yuexin, and others are all his targets."
"How else can you explain why Mr. Shen got promoted so suddenly?"
"Why suddenly spend a fortune on hosting twelve luxurious concerts for Luo Hongyan?"
"And why did Haohan, which never used to take in newcomers, suddenly include Jiang Yuexin?"
"The secrets behind this are massive."
"..."
Chu Yuxuan went on and on, causing Qin Feng to spit out a mouthful of red wine, laughing helplessly, "Where did you hear all these rumors, they're killing me..."
"Gossip? Humph! It's because the circles you hang out in are too low, and you don't have access to these matters, so you understand nothing."
Chu Yuxuan said contemptuously.
At this moment, Xu Yunxiao seemed astounded.
If the boss of Haohan Company was really as "flirty" as Chu Yuxuan described, then the person who has been silently supporting her, could he also have ulterior motives towards her?
"Nowadays, apart from the Zhou, Liu, Li three major families, as well as the two mysterious bosses of Wanfu Building and Haohan Company, there is another power quickly rising, and it looks like it might surpass the three major families."
Chu Yuxuan continued to speak animatedly, "Within the circle, this power is called 'Invincible Club.'"
"What a self-loving group..."
Qin Feng sweated a little.
"Hmph, ignorant!"
Chu Yuxuan looked down on him and went on, "The reason they are called 'Invincible Club' is because their central figure is called Coach Fang Wudi. Each member is a big shot in Lake City!"
"Feng Guoqiang from Er Long Real Estate Group, Zhou Yiming, the young master of the Zhou Family, Zheng Weiwei from Rainbow Cosmetics Company, Pang Dahai who controls the entire underworld of Lake City, and a mysterious girl from Yanjing named Momo!"
"This combined force, in Lake City, could practically walk sideways. Even the three major families would have to give them room!"
"..."
