Compared to others' ignorance and confusion, Li Yan was already quite sure that these people were here for him! Even though none of them were paying particular attention to him, he could sense a hint of dangerous focus from the three people with the strongest presence at the front—something most people wouldn't notice or feel.

Nobody had ever known his identity, and he had only recently been implicated a little due to Yu Xiaodi, so it was easy to guess these people's identities with a bit of thought. However, he found it strange, if they had found his detailed information, why hadn't they acted sooner? Or done it in a more discreet location? It couldn't be just a coincidence, right?

Seeing Pan Qingjun's gaze, Xiao Bi cautiously began to introduce, "Sorry to disturb everyone, it's actually because..."

The man in the middle, in his thirties and with a strong aura, smiled slightly and raised his hand, "Because this private room is a favorite of mine. I usually visit this room when I'm here. This time, without prior notice, I didn't expect Xiao Bi to give it to you guys."

Su Qingrui frowned slightly; he wasn't very familiar with the local situation, so he could only let Pan Qingjun handle it. He also glanced at Gao Qing for a more familiar ally and gestured through eye contact.

But Gao Qing, knowing when to play safe, realized these were not people to mess with and had no intention of playing the hero, pretending not to notice by looking down.

From the man's tone, Pan Qingjun could tell he was a formidable and influential person. However, knowing he hadn't directly offended him, he was somewhat relieved. He poured a glass of wine, walked over with a smile, "What an unfortunate coincidence, how about Manager Bi arranges for another, better private room? I'll drink to that first!"

Saying that, he tipped his head back, draining the glass, and whispered to Xiao Bi, "Manager Bi, please send a couple of good bottles of wine to them, on my tab."

Xiao Bi was in a difficult situation. He managed the resort, responsible for guest reception and organizing entertainment activities. He wasn't the restaurant manager or specifically in charge of sauna or foot massage departments. A group had just found him, and he was clueless about the actual situation. The restaurant floor manager who brought him was chased away after bringing him over.

These were his guests, so of course, he wanted to stand his ground. But he knew the background of these people as well, leaving him caught in the middle in a very awkward position.

He was sure they heard Pan Qingjun's words, and as he turned his gaze towards them, he softly said, "What do you think..."

"Damn it! Do you think we can't afford good wine? Need you to buy us some?"

The fierce-looking man on the right lowly snarled, his eyes flashing brutishly, stopping Xiao Bi from speaking further. Pan Qingjun, who intended for peace and profit, had shown enough respect; the other party remained ungrateful, and he was somewhat displeased but held back in fear of the man's readiness to act.

"Xiao Zhang, don't scare them," the man in the middle gently said, then looked at Pan Qingjun, "Judging by your look, it will still take a long time to finish, and I'm not used to going to other rooms. Since we met by chance, why not join us?"

Join them? Everyone was speechless. Apart from being unfamiliar with them, each seemed like a fierce god, how could they eat happily now?

Xiao Bi was also troubled. Should they add another table to join them, or just add chairs? He sorely wanted to call the restaurant floor manager over to hand this tricky issue back to them.

"How about it?" The man in the middle asked again.

Pan Qingjun turned to look, his own group was unhappy, but observing their demeanor, especially Xiao Bi's expressions, he understood they couldn't afford to offend these people.

"We would certainly welcome that, only we've already eaten and drunk quite a bit..."

The man raised his hand, interrupting, "No problem, more food and drink can be added more; the key is to enjoy to the fullest."

Because of your arrival, we're not enjoying it to the fullest! Pan Qingjun couldn't answer because the man had already walked in first. He had no choice but to stand aside, while the fierce man beside him pushed through, almost making him drop his wine glass. Despite the provocation, he could only keep the peace, feeling angry inside.

As Pan Qingjun and Xiao Bi stepped aside, not only did the first three guys enter together, but some people at the back, obscurely seen, also crowded in. The once spacious room began to feel cramped with over twenty people now inside.

Not wanting to withstand the pressure, Xiao Bi quickly said, "I'll call the waiters to help!" and slipped out.

The disturbed table of people remained silent. They were already thoroughly intimidated by the other party's presence; now, it felt like an army was at the gates. Everyone at the table had no shortage of social experience, wise enough not to speak up, only secretly disdaining others, unwilling to stand out themselves.

As the host, Pan Qingjun had no choice but to engage and put down his wine glass, intending to negotiate with them.

The man surveyed the room closely, ignoring the women. After looking over the few men, he said, "I've heard from Xiao Bi that you are all cultured people. I like making friends with cultured people. So, it's a bit presumptuous of me today, and I ask for your understanding. Where's Xiao Bi?"

"I'm here, Mr. Hao!" Xiao Bi had just gone out and pulled in the restaurant head, who was worried outside. Hearing his name, he quickly came forward.

"These are friends from the cultural circle. There's not enough room, so let all the girls leave!" Mr. Hao, quite imposing, as a guest, arranged matters concerning other guests for the restaurant.

"You're right, of course! Hurry, everyone, leave!" Then he said to the head, "Quickly, change the tableware!"

"Sorry for disturbing everyone's enjoyment, please forgive me. This meal is on me," Mr. Hao spoke, and no one else in the room dared talk. His dominance was unmatched.

Pan Qingjun smiled bitterly, thinking about offering two good bottles of wine, but he'd received a greater sacrifice in return.

With interest, Li Yan lit a cigarette, watching what they intended to pull.

"No, no. I should be the one treating!" Pan Qingjun quickly said in a low voice.

The head quickly had the waitstaff step up. However, regarding seating arrangements, he dared not speak disorderly.

"Since we're all cultured people, sit wherever. It's better to mingle freely; it'll help to get familiar. Don't be shy," Mr. Hao said as he sat between Gao Qing and Zhang Jing, making both inwardly feel timid.

Others also took seats at the now-vacant spots. In the strange atmosphere, Manager Bi and the head exchanged looks, discreetly wiping sweat, unable to leave.

Sitting next to Li Yan, a man with a merchant's air stood up, smiling, "Let me introduce us. My surname is Ding, but everyone calls me Ding Thirty. Though I am a businessman, I am a cultured merchant, haha... The man holding the pipe is Mr. Fei, this is Li Tai... And this man who looks international is Mr. Shi Zheng..."

After introducing four less imposing individuals, everyone's attention focused on the remaining three.

"This gentleman is Mr. Cui..."

As Ding Thirty introduced the young man with an exotic appearance, he spoke for himself, "My name... is Cui Ming!"

For no reason at all, more than half of the people felt a chill; Cui Ming... what kind of extreme father would give such a name?

Ding Thirty was clearly wary of the identities of the three and maintained a respectful attitude. After the young man introduced himself, he said no more and proceeded to introduce the fierce-looking man, "This is Mr. Zhang..."

The fierce man said boldly, "Zhang as in Zhang Ziqiang, Jing as in Wu Jing! My name is Zhang Jing!"

This self-introduction, filled with intimidation, was on par with "Cui Ming." The two must be his idols, using them to introduce a name, leaving a deep impression.

The painter and photographer, Zhang Jing, sandwiched between the two powerful presences on either side, no longer had the blusterous energy to point out locations of power and influence as he had earlier. Striving to bridge some distance, he forced a smile and made an effort, "What a coincidence! My name is Zhang Jing too, the same Zhang in bow, and Jing in serenity..."

But Zhang Jing didn't accept his 'fate' and turned to stare at him, calmly saying, "Why don't you stay quiet, then?"

Zhang Jing's awkward smile revealed nothing, though his heart was filled with silent complaints, afraid to show them outwardly.

As Ding Thirty was about to introduce the last, and clearly the most dominant among them, that man already started laughing, "My name is Li Yonghao, acquainted friends often call me Brother Hao, and some playful, like Manager Bi, call me Mr. Hao."

Zhang Jing and Cui Ming relied on their intimidating aura to pressure everyone, using their names as an intentional effect. However, as soon as 'Li Yonghao' was said, aside from Li Yan and Su Qingrui, the others' faces changed, suggesting they had heard of this figure and feared him greatly.

Li Yan had never heard of him and remained indifferent, continuing to smoke and watch the show.

Meanwhile, Pan Qingjun seemed to understand and shifted from a mindset of avoiding conflict to one of reverence, quickly introducing his own party.
