Chapter 158: 156, Conflict at the bar, girl won't give face?
156. Bar Conflict: The Girl Won't Show Face?
Only a minute or so had passed. The spotlight that was originally on the second booth had now shifted. The DJ on site also shouted loudly, "Congratulations to the sponsors at booth one for snagging a set of Big Shenlong!"
Immediately, all eyes in the venue turned towards booth one, and a buzz of discussion erupted. Then, the music cranked up to high-energy levels, and lights of every color flickered. Six bunny girls in black stockings and high heels, holding up Spade A plaques, paraded around the entire venue. They finally passed by the second booth and arrived at booth one.
At this moment, Wu Han's face darkened as he glanced at booth one. "Who the hell is that out-of-towner? The moment he shows up, Brother Dali and the others arrange a damn Big Shenlong for him?"
Huh? An Peng and several others also looked embarrassed. They hadn't yet informed Wu Han about Luofeng. If they had known Luofeng was coming, they would not have accepted Wu Han's invitation. The people in the opposite booth were all big earners; what was a mere Big Shenlong to them? Normally, people like An Peng wouldn't splurge on a Big Shenlong.
"Is that Big Shenlong thing really expensive?" Ye Bing asked.
"It costs 99,999 yuan, just one yuan short of 100,000," Wu Han replied, taking a deep breath.
"Wow, that's just like him," Ye Bing exclaimed in wonder.
"You seem to be quite familiar with him, aren't you?" Wu Han said, gritting his teeth.
"I've met him a few times. The first time was at Patek Philippe. He casually bought two watches, spending a total of 2,000,000 yuan, and he considered the purchase for less than a minute."
Hearing Ye Bing's words left Wu Han speechless. Although Wu Han's family was also wealthy, they were nowhere near the level of someone who could nonchalantly drop 2,000,000 yuan on watches without batting an eye. But Wu Han thought it sounded too fake. How rich must one be to spend 2,000,000 yuan in less than a minute? If something like that were true, he wouldn't be in their circle anymore, but in a circle at Principal Wang's level.
"By the way, Brother Wu Han, why did you invite us over today?" Li Mu asked.
"Come on, let's have a drink first," Wu Han replied, a bit embarrassed, not disclosing the reason immediately.
Wu Han had called An Peng and the others over today to put on a strong front, especially since Ye Bing had taken the initiative to invite him for a meal to apologize for the 'wetland mode' incident last time. So, Wu Han had arranged to meet at Thirteen Bar, intending to give Ye Bing some face. Who would have thought they'd run into his old rival, Lin Xiaoyun, who then one-upped them with a Big Shenlong package? It was utterly humiliating.
"Shall we send over a couple of bottles?" Lin Xiaoyun from booth one suggested, glancing over.
"Add one more bottle to make it a Little Shenlong package," Li Bo Kai proposed.
"When it comes to being disgusting, you take the cake," Lin Xiaoyun laughed. "Sending over a Little Shenlong as a 'charitable gift'? I see no problem with that!"
Chen Dali said, "Brother, will this make things awkward for you?"
Chen Dali knew that Luofeng was acquainted with the two girls over there, Qin Rubing and Ye Bing, who were both friends of Duanmu Yunji. This would put Luofeng in an awkward position.
"It's no problem!" Luofeng looked at Duanmu Yunji's wish list and didn't see anything like 'Do not send it over' written there. In that case, let's send it over. After all, this is a battle between men. Should it really involve the ladies?
Luofeng added, "If they're not convinced, just order another Big Shenlong set, and take over three more bottles!"
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyun burst into laughter. "Talk about being sickening; Li Bo Kai is nothing. Brother Feng is the real deal!"
"Xiaoyong, come here for a moment. Combine the Gold, Rose Gold, and Purple Gold Ace of Spades to make a Little Shenlong package and send it over to the second booth."
"Alright, alright!" Zhang Shunyong was just a sales manager; why would he care so much? He just did as the customers instructed.
「A moment later.」
Zhang Shunyong personally wheeled a trolley with three bottles of Spade A over to the second booth and said politely, "Brother Han, Brother Xiaoyun from booth one sent over a Little Shenlong package. He said it's an apology, please accept it!"
Wu Han's face turned dark. He suppressed his rage. He was one hundred percent certain Lin Xiaoyun was messing with his head. He was the host, yet he had only ordered drinks to meet the minimum spend. And they just sent over a Little Shenlong package? What did that imply? There was no need to guess, was there?
An Peng, Duanmu Feng, and the others exchanged awkward glances. They knew Lin Xiaoyun was doing it to provoke them, and they were aware that Lin Xiaoyun's group had made a lot of money.
"Is this Spade A?" Ye Bing curiously inspected the three bottles. Although Ye Bing could see that Wu Han was unhappy, she didn't mind. "Wow, it's my first time in a place like this, and I actually get to see the legendary Spade A. I have to take a picture first."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone. Just as she was about to take a picture, Wu Han said, "What's so great about Spade A that's worth photographing?"
He was furious and slapped the phone out of her hand.
"What are you doing?" Ye Bing said, raising her voice.
"What are you photographing? Did I say you could take a picture?" Wu Han said, his face falling.
"Can't I take a picture? It was a gift from someone else, can't I even take a picture of it?" Ye Bing scoffed.
"Heh, you..."
As she spoke, Ye Bing stood up. "I'm going to the booth next door, that should be fine, right?"
"Stop right there!" Wu Han stood up and shouted.
Ye Bing ignored him. The relationship between their parents was just so-so; their fathers were merely acquaintances. Besides, Ye Bing felt she had wronged him, which is why she invited him for a meal. But his behavior tonight was too disappointing.
Ye Bing didn't listen and continued heading towards booth one. Wu Han felt he was losing face. His 'girl' was actually going to another booth! He immediately rushed forward, grabbed her, and threw her onto the sofa.
This rough treatment clearly angered Ye Bing. "What do you think you're doing? You're so damn annoying!"
This commotion caught Duanmu Yunji's attention. She tugged on Luofeng's arm. "Luofeng, it sounds like Bingbing is arguing over there. Should we go take a look?"
"Let's all go," Lin Xiaoyun interjected.
"Okay." Luofeng nodded, and they all headed over.
The atmosphere in the second booth was already incredibly awkward. Ye Bing glared angrily at Wu Han. Wu Han was both embarrassed and seething with anger. An Peng and the others pretended to be absorbed in their phones, while Qin Rubing quietly recorded a video on her phone.
"Bingbing, are you okay?" Duanmu Yunji was the first to walk over, asking.
"Are you still trying to stop me?" Ye Bing said, glaring at Wu Han.
Wu Han glanced at Duanmu Yunji, then at Ye Bing, and sneered, "Scram!"
Luofeng was inwardly speechless. Heh, this guy... so petty.
"Brother Xiaotong, are you drunk?" Lin Xiaoyun chuckled from the side.
"Heh, Lin Xiaoyun, are you deliberately messing with me today?" Wu Han said, staring at him.
"Tsk tsk, Brother Xiaotong, I call you 'brother' out of respect. Otherwise, who do you think you are?" Lin Xiaoyun dropped the pretense. Since things had reached this point, was there any need to keep acting?
