Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The septuagenarian's face was filled with a sincere smile, which immediately made everyone feel as though they knew him, even as a good friend. The few strands of white hair and the man's clothing and temperament all indicated his status and extraordinariness.

The crowd was momentarily stunned, pondering, who is this person?

Fang Yu glared at him, and then his eyes twinkled with a sharp light. Who else could this man be but the elderly Master Gu. Oddly enough, what was Gu Ju doing here?

Moreover, his true identity was known only by Gu Ju. If it were to be exposed, it would inevitably cause quite a bit of trouble. Hence, Gu Ju's sudden appearance had taken Fang Yu by surprise.

"Mr. Gu," Fang Yu stood up, displaying a faint smile, "You make it sound like I'm all idle."

"Ha ha, you look rather bored sitting here," Gu Ju patted his shoulder playfully and asked with a peculiar intonation, "My son said he wanted to take you as a master a few days ago, haven't seen him for several days, I'm wondering if you have led him astray."

Fang Yu was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu, why would I abduct a grown man?"

"Ah, just a joke. I'm just frustrated that he can't turn out to be as outstanding as you… you are." Gu Ju's face showed helplessness, a typical display of a parent's heart.

The people around were even more puzzled.

What does it mean to be outstanding like you?!

Silly old man!

"Don't worry, after all, he is still young," Fang Yu nodded.

"Mmm, then I won't disturb you guys. You young people have more fun together, I'll pass," Gu Ju turned his head and called out to the two waiters at the door, "Call your manager here."

"Of course, sir, please wait a moment," the waiter, a fixture at the Mount Everest Hotel, had long honed the skill of reading people and immediately dashed off upon the middle-aged man's instruction.

Before long, a manager in uniform hurried over. When he took a good look and saw that it was Gu Ju, his complexion changed dramatically, and he quickly bowed down, saying obsequiously, "Boss, what are you doing here…"

Gu Ju had already walked to the entrance of the hall.

"Wave off his bill," Gu Ju casually pointed toward Fang Yu inside the hall, "I remember the hotel has a collection of red wine aged over twenty years. Bring them all out. Mr. Fang is a friend of mine. If he's spending money at my hotel, we can't let people say I'm stingy!"

"Yes, Boss!" The manager lifted his head slightly, glanced at Fang Yu, and nodded.

"Mr... Fang, I've got business to take care of. Do come over for tea when you're free," Gu Ju said with a laugh, waving his hand as he strode out of the venue.

For a moment, the person behind him followed with an easy yet respectful stride, almost like a dog.

After watching the boss leave, the manager turned to Fang Yu with a smile, "Mr. Fang, please let me know if you need anything."

"Don't be so courteous, I'm just here for a meal," Fang Yu said.

"I'm afraid that's not okay. Although the boss did not make it explicit, serving you well is my only task and job for this evening," the manager said earnestly.

Fang Yu, somewhat overwhelmed, said with a smile, "Well then, just bring a few bottles of red wine, will you?"

"Understood," the manager walked aside and told the nearby waiter, "Go to the cellar and bring up a box of wine, and have the kitchen add a dish according to the highest standard."

"Yes!" The waiter turned and left.

By the time this conversation was over, the old classmates of Long Xinyue were all dumbfounded.

After a brief shock, Long Xinyue regained composure, then sneered with a grim expression, "I can't tell you're so willing to spend money. How much did you pay these actors? The elderly man acted quite well, didn't he!"

Fang Yu was taken aback. Before he could speak, the hotel manager not pleased, said, "Miss, if you dare to speak rudely about the boss again, no matter whether you're Mr. Fang's friend or not, I will not be polite to you!"

"Who do you think you are?" Long Xinyue cursed arrogantly, "Don't think that just because you're the manager here you can look down on others, in the end, you're nothing but a working peon!"

A trace of ferocity flashed through the manager's eyes, but he kept his anger in check, instead turning to Fang Yu and asking, "Mr. Fang, is she really your friend?"

Fang Yu shook his head, speaking indifferently, "No, she's not."

Hearing this, a hint of delight appeared on the manager's face.

"That's good." The manager's gaze then turned to Long Xinyue, "I don't care who you are, nor do I want to tell you who I am. Now I'm giving you a chance, please leave the Mount Everest Hotel immediately."

"You dare to say that again?" Long Xinyue snarled, "The customer is king, how dare you drive me away?"

The manager stared at Long Xinyue coldly, the air of authority gradually radiating from his being.

This air of authority was inconsequential in front of Gu Ju, but in this hotel, he was the authority!

"Mount Everest, huh? I'd like to see how you're going to drive me away, today I'll have you, the hotel manager, fired!" Long Xinyue grew increasingly arrogant.

The manager smiled and said, "The person to fire me has yet to be born. Again, please leave right away. Mr. Gu, our boss, has already declared all expenses in this hall waived, you haven't spent a penny. Before I lose my temper, it would be wise to heed my advice and leave, otherwise I wouldn't mind calling security."

Mr. Gu?

Gu…

In a major city like Jiangzhou, who else but the esteemed Elder Gu could own an esteemed establishment like the Mount Everest Hotel?

The classmates who made this connection were hit by a storm of astonishment.

Long Xinyue froze. Her classmates stood there dumbstruck.

What does this mean!

Could it be…

The so-called performance just now was all real? Not actors at all?

Although these classmates had been working for a few years, they were still inexperienced and couldn't recognize a legendary figure like Gu Ju.

Not recognizing meant they couldn't tell truth from pretense.

But if… the elderly man who just visited really was Gu Ju, then everything Long Xinyue said before would have offended Gu Ju.

It wasn't just about offending such a legendary figure. Even offending the manager of the Mount Everest Hotel Long Xinyue could not afford!

Neither she could afford it, nor could her father!

Seeing Long Xinyue still doubting, the manager gestured grandly, and a group of waiters queued up from outside the hall.

"Remove all the dishes from the hall, this food isn't good enough for a friend of Mr. Gu,"

"All waiters in unison responded, "Yes!"

This time, Long Xinyue was completely shocked.

So were her classmates.

And Shao Xin.

This was the real hotel manager—

With a gesture, he mobilized all the hotel staff.

It was all real!

My God! Who had Long Xinyue just offended? Everyone stared at Long Xinyue wordlessly, not knowing how to smooth things over.
