Chapter 226: The Unlucky Fat Boss
“Bring me the clothes. If I think it is suitable, I will pay for it,” Qingfeng said as he glanced coldly at the fat boss.
“Hmph, you are broke. Even if I bring it to you and you see it, you won’t buy it. What if you dirty it?”
The fat boss glanced mockingly at Qingfeng with disdain. He looked down at poor people. Why do they bother shopping around when they don’t have the money?
“How do you know I cannot afford it?” Qingfeng said with displeasure as he pointed to the light blue suit.
“Go away! Go away if you can’t afford the clothes. Don’t disrupt my business,” the fat boss waved his hand and shooed Qingfeng away.
His expression was filled with impatience and disdain.
At the moment, the boss of the mall, Tianhua Chen, happened to be inspecting the mall. Coincidentally, he walked by the Septwolves store.
Tianhua Chen furrowed his brows when he heard the argument within the store. His expression changed when he looked inside the store.
“Oh, isn’t that the same young man from last time?” Tianhua Chen’s expression changed. He naturally recognized Qingfeng.
Last time, Qingfeng had stunned Tianhua Chen when took out a bank card with a hundred and fifty million dollars in the account. He knew that this young man was a low-key person, a tiger who pretended to be a Hello Kitty. He must not anger a man like Qingfeng.
At that thought, Tianhua Chen walked towards Septwolves to greet Qingfeng.
The fat boss’s face was filled with delight when he saw Tianhua Chen. He had a business in Tian Hua Mall so he naturally recognized the big boss, Tianhua Chen.
Tianhua Chen was the big boss of Tianhua Mall and in charge of everything. His store was under the management of Tianhua Chen so he naturally needed to please the boss.
The fat boss quickly stood up to greet Tianhua Chen. However, Tianhua Chen did not spare him a single glance. Instead, he walked directly to Qingfeng.
“Mr. Li, we meet again. What do you need this time, I can help you,” Tianhua Chen said with all smiles.
The fat boss was stunned and shocked when he heard Tianhua Chen greeting Qingfeng. It turned out that the young man he looked down upon just now knew the big boss, Tianhua Chen. It also seemed like Tianhua Chen was trying to please him.
The fat boss shuddered and his face turned ghastly pale. He was screwed. He managed to anger someone that even the big boss tried to please.
“Boss Chen, the attitude of the people in your mall is great. I wanted to look at a suit. He not only refused but also called me a broke man. He even wanted to shoo me away. Is this how your mall does business?” Qingfeng said as he glanced at the fat boss.
“Fatty, did you want to shoo Qingfeng Li away?” Tianhua Chen looked coldly at the fat boss.
This fat boss deserved to die. The young man ahead was someone that even he did not dare to anger. But the fat boss dared to shoo Qingfeng out when he was clothes shopping. What if he angered Qingfeng?
The fat boss could tell that the young man was not ordinary. Qingfeng was someone that even the boss of the mall, Tianhua Chen, had to please. He was so unlucky to anger someone like him.
“Fatty, your attitude towards customers is poor. We do not need people like you in the mall. You don’t have to come in tomorrow.”
“Boss, this store is the sole income of my entire family. Please let me continue to do business here.”
“Fatty, you can continue to do business here but you have to apologize to Qingfeng. If he forgives you, you can continue to stay here. If not, you must leave,” Tianhua Chen said coldly to the fat boss.
The fat boss became ghastly pale. He walked towards Qingfeng and said, “I am sorry. It was my fault. Please forgive me.”
Qingfeng did not speak after the fat boss apologized. He detested this snobbish fatty.
The fat boss became ghastly pale when he realized that Qingfeng was unwilling to forgive him. He suddenly turned around and said, “Little Jing, apologize for uncle.”
The fat boss knew that he had looked down upon Qingfeng when he entered the store. But Little Jing had spoken to Qingfeng and serviced him well. There would be a better outcome if Little Jing pleaded for him.
Little Jing was the niece of the fat boss. Naturally, she did not want her uncle to be kicked out. The entire family depended on the store for their business.
“Sir, please forgive my uncle. I apologize on behalf of him. Our entire family depends on this store for food,” Little Jing said nervously to Qingfeng.
Her voice was very soft because she was scared that the young man ahead would not accept her apology. If he did not forgive her uncle, she was screwed. She might not get her salary this month.
Qingfeng did not want to accept the fat boss’s apology but he had a good impression of the girl ahead. The girl had good customer service skills and even smiled at him when he entered the store.
“Alright, Little Jing, I will forgive him because of you,” Qingfeng said to the girl.
“Thank you, you are a good person,” Little Jing sincerely thanked Qingfeng and even said he was a good person.
“Fatty, since Qingfeng has forgiven you, you can continue to do business here. Which clothing did he want to look at just now? Bring it to him quickly,” Tianhua Chen said as he glanced at the fat boss. He was speechless at the slow reaction of the fat boss.
He felt that the reaction of the fat boss was too poor. Since he has already forgiven you, you should try to please him. Why are you still standing there?
“Yes yes yes, I will bring it to him personally,” The fat boss finally recovered and quickly brought the light blue suit down.
“Big brother, try it on. Does it fit?” The fat boss said.
This was a clever fellow who had been in the business for a dozen years. Since he knew that Qingfeng was not an ordinary man, he quickly tried to please him. Even though he was older than Qingfeng, he still called him big brother.
Qingfeng was speechless when he heard the fat boss calling him Big brother. This man was a chameleon. A second ago he was mocking and looking down at him but now, he was calling him big brother and trying to please him.
Qingfeng did not want to talk to him. He tried on the suit and felt that it fitted perfectly.
“Don’t move. The collar is crooked, I will straighten it for you,” Xue Lin asked Qingfeng to stand still and straightened his collar for him.
As the saying goes the cloth makes the man. Qingfeng was already handsome and the light blue suit made him even more handsome. He even charmed the girl next to him.
Chapter 227: Awesome, Free Suit!
“Honey, what do you think?” Qingfeng asked Xue Lin while wearing the suit.
Xue Lin’s eyes flashed with delight when she Qingfeng. She said, “You look very handsome.”
Even though Xue Lin only said “Very handsome”, but those that could get her to praise them with those words must be very handsome.
“Big brother, you look so good in the suit. I will pack it for you,” The fat boss said.
“It is okay, I will wear it to go. How much is it? I will pay you,” Qingfeng shook his head and denied the offer. He was going to wear this suit to attend the Red Wine Banquet tonight anyways, it would be too troublesome to change in and out of the suit.
“Big brother, this suit is free. I will give it to you for free,” The fat boss said with all smiles.
“Really? You are giving it to me for free?”
“Of course, it is free. You suit the clothes of Septwolves too well.”
“Since it is free, I am going to go,” Qingfeng smiled lightly and greeted Tianhua Chen before leaving the store with Xue Lin.
“The young man is finally gone. Oh man, what a scare.”
The fat boss wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he looked at Qingfeng’s departing figure. He felt scared just thinking about the happenings.
“Xiao Jing, you did well today. I will give you a thousand Yuan as a bonus this month,” The fat boss said to Xiao Jing.
He knew that the only reason the young man agreed to forgive him was because of Xiao Jing. He would be screwed if Xiao Jing did not plead for him. Thus, he needed to reward Xiao Jing.
“Thank you, uncle,” Xiao Jing thanked when she heard about the reward from the fat boss. She was extremely happy in her heart. Of course, she was also thankful to the young man.
“Ke Ke, dear, it’s so funny. The fat boss was looking down at you but then called you Big brother later. He even gifted you a thousand-Yuan suit. He must be so upset.”
Xue Lin said with a chuckle. Her gorgeous face was charming like a blooming bouquet of flowers.
“Society is like this nowadays. If you have money or influence, everyone will try to please you. If you don’t have money, others will mock you,” Qingfeng said lightly with a smile.
Qingfeng had a deep understanding of this. He was born in a family worth billions but when his parents went missing, others started to mock and look down upon him.
Qingfeng had read a book which had a great sentence, “If one was poor, one could live in a busy market and no one would care. If one was rich, one could live in the rural mountains and still be visited by relatives. When one had toasted a drink, the rich men are always toasted first. But really, who can say they would forever be rich or poor?”
“Dear, you seem to feel quite strongly about this?” Xue Lin was surprised by his understanding.
A normal person would not usually have such an understanding. Only those who were elderly and have lived many years would have such an understanding. When they arrived at the seventh floor, a middle-aged man wearing prayer beads walked towards them.
“Welcome, my name is Hao Tang. What are you looking for? Is it a jade bracelet or necklace?” Tang Hao asked with a smile.
He wore prayer beads and smiled happily like a Maitreya Buddha. But the light in his eyes showed that he was not an ordinary character.
“What do you like?” Qingfeng asked as he stroked Xue Lin’s palm.
There were a wide variety of beautiful bracelets made of jade, crystal, sandalwood, and amber.
“I like the sandalwood bracelet,” Xue Lin looked at the bracelet with liking in her eyes.
This sandalwood bracelet …costs 100,000 Yuan?
Qingfeng rolled his eyes when he saw that the bracelet was marked as 100,000 Yuan.
There were many kinds of sandalwood bracelets at different price points. Low-grade bracelets cost 3000-10,000 Yuan, middle-grade ones cost 30,000-50,000 Yuan and high-grade bracelets could cost up to a few million Yuan.
If it was an authentic sandalwood bracelet, it would be worth 100,000 Yuan. But the problem was that this sandalwood bracelet was a fake.
There was a saying for an antique shop that went “No sale for three years; one sale is enough money for three years.”
They might not sell a single item in three years. But if they sold one item, such as the fake sandalwood bracelet, they would make a net profit of 100,000 Yuan.
Even though Qingfeng could afford to buy the sandalwood bracelet, he did not want to overpay and give 100,000 Yuan for a fake item.
Chapter 228: The Bracelet is Fake
Qingfeng Li took a look at the bracelet, but he decided not to buy it since he knew that piece was fake.
There was no doubt that he would buy it for Xue Lin as long as it was a real piece. He could never get Xue Lin anything fake, as otherwise it would be an insult to her.
There was a young guy with short hair standing beside, dressed in a fancy suit, wearing cologne, and a gold necklace hanging on him as thick as a finger. Apparently he was rich.
The guy with short hair noticed Xue Lin as soon as she entered the antique shop. He got a crush on Xue Lin immediately seeing how gorgeous and elegant she was.
He was looking for a chance to approach her, and finally there came the time. Obviously this beauty was interested in the agarwood bracelet, however, the guy with her was not able to buy it. He could tell that this guy was short on money.
“Hello gorgeous, do you like this agarwood bracelet, if so, I would like to get it for you.” the young guy came up to Xue Lin, asked with a smile on his face.
The young guy used to buy luxury items for the pretty girls he met. Things like iPhones, bags and green jade bracelets were perfect to please them. Girls all liked to make friends with such a generous guy, some were even willing to have sex with him in exchange.
Xue Lin frowned at what the young guy said, annoyance showing up on her cold elegant face. She felt disgusted dealing with people who tried to accost her.
Not to mention Qingfeng Li, who was standing right beside, Xue Lin clenching his jaw, not able to be any more angry. It seemed like this young guy was looking for trouble, as if he could’t see that Qingfeng Li was holding Xue Lin’s hand, obviously showing that they were either boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife. What the hell was he trying to mess up by offering to buy her a bracelet in front of Qingfeng Li?
Qingfeng Li knew that Xue Lin was extremely gorgeous, that she was the most beautiful woman in Eastern Sea City, no matter if it was her face or her body.
Therefore, Qingfeng Li understood that wherever Xue Lin went, it was unavoidable for men to stare at her, so she was always in the limelight. It didn’t matter whether it was Young Master Chen or Yang Chen from Tian Hua Mall, he taught them a lesson so that they would stay away from Xue Lin. However, the number of pursuers was endless.
“She is my woman, if anyone wants to buy her a bracelet, it should be me. There is no chance for you man.” Qingfeng Li took a look at the young guy coldly, annoyed by what he did.
“Cheap wretch, how can you deserve such a beautiful lady when you can’t even afford a sandalwood bracelet?”
Seeing Qingfeng Li hesitate about buying the bracelet, the young guy assumed that Qingfeng Li couldn’t afford it, and started mocking him.
“It is not your damn business whether I buy it or not!” Qingfeng Li frowned and got sicker of this guy.
“Hey boss, I’ll take this sandalwood bracelet, since he doesn’t have the money for it.” the young guy said arrogantly, while reaching for his bank card.
Although ten thousand was not a small amount, everything was worth it to please a beauty like Xue Lin.
“You really know about the stuff, this bracelet was made of thousand-year-old sandalwood. Wearing it helps maintain beauty and keeps you young, as well as gives you good sleep.” said the owner of the antique shop, ingratiating the young guy with a big smile on his face.
In terms of Qingfeng Li, he was already ignored by the snobbish shop owner, since he didn’t seem like he was able to afford the bracelet.
“This bracelet is for you, gorgeous.” said the young guy as he handed the bracelet to Xue Lin.
” I don’t even know you, I will not take your stuff.” Xue Lin shook her head, without looking at the bracelet.
She would not take anything from the young guy, even though she liked that bracelet.
The young guy almost freaked out after hearing what Xue Lin said. He spent ten thousand on the bracelet, just hoping he could please this beauty. But to his surprise, she refused his offer.
“Excuse me miss, don’t you like the sandalwood bracelet? This is the last one in my shop. Apparently, this young man here is rich, you will be better off with him. If you insist to stay with a poor guy, then you will be miserable the rest of your life.”
The shop owner was happy that he just made ten thousand. In return, he started to help the young guy while ridiculing Qingfeng Li.
“The shop owner is right, gorgeous. Only I can promise you a wealthy splendid life. The guy you are with can’t even buy you a sandalwood bracelet, it will be such a waste to be his woman.”
The young man smiled and said in a flirty tone, putting endless praise on himself while belittling Qingfeng Li.
What the hell!
How could they do that to an innocent man?
Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, almost flaring up. How dare the shop owner and the young guy make fun of him!
If this could be tolerated, what could not? Qingfeng Li decided to defend himself, and to teach them a lesson about the outcome of offending him.
Qingfeng Li was well-informed in the antique market, he had seen so many priceless treasures that he could distinguish between real and fake antiques with great ease. They were completely courting death by showing off such a piece of fake junk. Qingfeng Li got really mad at this point.
“Idiot, stop making a fool of yourself, you just got a fake necklace for my woman.” Qingfeng Li sneered at him.
“What the hell did you mean that the necklace I got was fake?”
Yelled the young guy. His face turned pale with anger after hearing what Qingfeng Li said. It would be extremely embarrassing for the young guy if the bracelet was fake.
“You are full of bullshit! You couldn’t afford the bracelet so now you are saying my bracelet is fake in order to make yourself look better instead?” the shop owner raised his voice, looking pissed off.
“Give it a test so that all of us can know if it is real. The real sandalwood is also called water sandalwood, it will not fade even it is put in water, and it will also give off a light scent. On the other hand, fake sandalwood doesn’t only fade, but also lacks the scent.”Qingfeng Li said subtly, quirked up the corner of his mouth.
“Let me have a try.” the young guy grabbed a glass, and poured a bottle of water into it, then placed the bracelet in the water.
It did not give off any scent just like what Qingfeng Li said. The young guy stared at the shop owner while his face turned purple with rage.
“Sir, please take a look, the bracelet did not fade, it is not fake.” the shop owner wiped some sweat off his forehead, pointed at the bracelet in the glass and tried to explain.
“Hehe, the bracelet has gone through some chemical processes, no wonder it will not fade easily. However, it will fade immediately if you add some vinegar in the water.” said Qingfeng Li, putting his hands behind his back. Everything was under his control.
The young guy rushed to the supermarket next door to get a bottle of vinegar and poured some into the water. The top layer of color on the bracelet started fading, and finally lost its color totally, leaving an unsightly cyan bracelet laying there.
Obviously the cyan was the color of pinewood, which was worth no more than a single Yuan.
“Screw you, you lied to me?”
The young guy roared hysterically and punched the shop owner. It was extremely humiliating that he spent ten thousand on a fake bracelet that was only worth a single Yuan.
Not to be outdone, the shop owner started wrestling with the young guy after receiving a punch.
The two guys who just mocked Qingfeng Li were now wrestling for the sake of their own interests.
This scene was like two dogs biting each other, but all they got, in the end, was a mouthful of fur. Qingfeng Li thought of beating them as revenge, but they already saved him some energy by fighting against each other. Then why bother?
Making a third party the instrument of a crime from the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Qingfeng Li was quite skillful at that.
“Let’s go, my wife. Leave those two crazy guys alone.” Qingfeng Li held Xue Lin’s hand and left the antique shop with her.
Meanwhile, in the First People’s Hospital.
In the inpatient ward, a young guy was in a plaster cast and all bandaged up with an intravenous drip, laying on the bed miserably.
The guy who was having an intravenous drip was Kun Wang, whose arms and legs all got broken by Qingfeng Li.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black suit was standing in front of Kun Wang. His face was overcast with sadness, surrounded by a sense of dark and gloomy.
He was told by the doctor that his son’s arms and legs were all broken and the bones were destroyed completely. There was no chance for him to recover. Unfortunately, he had to spend the rest of his life in bed.
He was the leader of Ferocious Tiger Clan, the top of the underground forces in Eastern Sea City. It was a provocation to him that his son was physically disabled by a stranger.
“You must avenge me! Please father,” said Kun Wang to the middle-aged man, his face full of anger.
“You can rest assured son, I will break his arms and legs as revenge. Wait, I will rip his body apart and feed the fish with his flesh.” the middle-aged man with the darkened face replied viciously.
Chapter 229: The Red Wine Banquet
Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin had been shopping the whole afternoon, and after that, they drove their BMW to the Red Wine Banquet.
The Red Wine Banquet was held at the Golden Bay Club, which was the top private club in Eastern Sea City. The admission requirement was so strict that you might not be allowed in even if you had five billion Yuan in your deposit.
Only people who achieved preeminence in their areas had access to the Golden Bay Club, such as a brilliant medical specialist, an extraordinary pianist, or a superb singer.
In the example of Xue Lin, she was the most beautiful woman in Eastern Sea City, that was why she got invited to the Red Wine Banquet.
It was said that the background of the Golden Bay Club was mysterious. The person who invested in the club had an unbelievable network.
They arrived at the club after forty minutes. Xue Lin parked the car and said with a sweet smile on her face, “Here we are, you can get out of the car now.”
Qingfeng Li smiled slightly, he opened the car door and got off. He was not really into this kind of Red Wine Banquet, but he had to go since Xue Lin was invited.
The most important thing was, of course, he could dance with her during the dinner. The purpose of him being part of the dinner was so that he could dance with Xue Lin.
“What a luxurious club!” as soon as Xue Lin arrived at the gate of the Golden Bay Gate, she started to admire the venue.
The Golden Bay Club was indeed the top club in Eastern Sea City, it was extremely luxurious. Golden marble was laid all over the surface of the building, like the look of Green Hotel, but way more high-class. On the marble, there were carved patterns of the sea and beach. That was how it got the name Golden Bay.
In front of the Golden Bay Club, there were parked countless luxury cars.
People who went to Golden Bay Club were all billionaires, CEOs, celebrities. Therefore, the cars they owned must be the best.
At the gate of Golden Bay Club, there were two pretty ceremonial usherettes dressed in white cheongsams, showing their snow-white long legs, which was really attractive.
“Hello, please show me your invitation.” said a sweet voice as Xue Lin was about to enter the club.
Xue Lin looked up and found out that it was the pretty beauty in a cheongsam on the left.
Xue Lin gave her a smile, reached for the invitation in her pocket but was suddenly shocked because there was nothing in her pocket.
Where was the invitation? She did remember to put it in her pocket before she left home. Xue Lin searched all her pockets, but still couldn’t find it. She was getting out of countenance.
“What is the matter?” seeing Xue Lin in panic, Qingfeng Li went up to her.
Xue Lin frowned and said, “I might have lost the invitation, I can’t find it.”
What? Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes. No one would be allowed in without the invitation.
“You can’t go inside without the invitation. Please move out of the way, there are other guests coming.” said the lady on the left with no patience, the smile on her face also disappeared.
As far as she concerned, these people in front of her were probably swindlers, trying to go to the club without invitation, that was impossible.
“Hmm, here you are, there is no way to avoid your enemy.” suddenly came a cold voice.
Qingfeng Li turned around and found out that the voice was from a young guy who looked so pale and sick, with his eyes having a hallowed look.
This sick guy was Kai Wang, Young Master of the Wang Family. Obviously, Qingfeng Li knew him.
At the meantime, there were two young guys following Kai Wang, who were none other than Haiyang Chen, the Young Master of the Chen Family and Jun Li, the Young Master of Li of the Li Family.
With no doubt, the Li family in Eastern Sea City was only a branch of the Li family in Hua Xia, it was more proper to be called an offshoot of the branch. Jun Li was just the master of the Li family in Eastern Sea City, which would be counted as nothing if it was in the capital.
“Did you get any better?” Qingfeng Li shot a glance at Kai Wang, and those few casual words already made Kai Wang livid with rage.
He had pointed out that he had some unspeakable disease in the charity party last time, which gave him enough humiliation. Therefore, he was really infuriated.
“Hmm, it is not your business whether I got better or not. But you, trying to get into the Red Wine Banquet without an invitation, what a joke.” Kai Wang mocked while sneering at Qingfeng Li.
Haiyang Chen was standing beside him in silence. He had been taken advantage by Qingfeng Li and knew he was tough. Thus, Haiyang Chen just kept his mouth shut. Unlike Haiyang Chen, Kai Wang apparently knew nothing about it, so he continued mocking Qingfeng Li with no hesitation.
“Who said that my little brother couldn’t get in?” A lovely voice arrived, accompanied with giggles.
Based on the charming voice, Qingfeng Li could tell it had to be Ruyan Liu even without looking.
Like he thought, Ruyan Liu was walking towards them in a red dress. Ruyan Liu dressed up gorgeously for the Red Wine Banquet. Her face looked more stunning with a layer of makeup, her eyes were shining with a delicate eyeliner above her beautiful eyelashes.
She was strikingly beautiful in a red dress, matched with a pair of red high heels, as if she was a blooming red rose, tender and charming.
“Hello, Miss Liu.” Kai Wang started to greet Ruyan Liu with respect as soon as he saw her.
There was no doubt that Kai Wang knew her. She was the eldest daughter from the Liu family in the capital. No one in Eastern Sea City had more influence than she did.
As for Haiyang Chen and Jun Li, they showed great respect to Ruyan Liu, since they couldn’t afford to offend her either.
Although the Big Four in Eastern Sea City were well-known, they counted for nothing in the eyes of Liu Corporation. As long as the Liu family wished, the four families could be obliterated and go up in smoke. This was how powerful the Liu family was.
Ruyan Liu walked right up to Xue Lin and Qingfeng Li without looking at Kai Wang and other people around. Kai Wang’s face was suddenly downcast, he held his fists tight, and felt extremely humiliated by her apathy towards them.
People used to pat Kai Wang on the back to show their respect. However, Ruyan Liu was not like them as she ignored him, and didn’t even shoot him look when he tried to say hello.
Although Kai Wang was angry, or even raging because he got ignored, he had to bury his rage deep inside thinking of her background.
In fact, Ruyan Liu did that on purpose, as Kai Wang had the guts to mock Qingfeng Li. Therefore, she felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson.
“Let’s get inside.” Ruyan Liu walked up to Xue Lin and Qingfeng Li and said with a bright smile on her face.
Xue Lin frowned and didn’t respond anything to Ruyan Liu’s invitation. She considered this charming woman as a threat to her.
“How can we get in without the invitation?” asked Qingfeng Li with confusion.
“No invitation is required, the Golden Bay Club is under my name.” Ruyan Liu answered with a lovely smile.
Chapter 230: Both Women Have a Little Plan
“You own the Golden Bay Club?” Xue Lin frowned and couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes.
“Yes, there will be some French and Danes coming tonight, and it was me that wanted to invite you to the Red Wine Banquet.” Ruyan Liu smiled lovely at Xue Lin.
In fact, what Xue Lin didn’t know about was that her invitation was given by Ruyan Liu, as Ruyan Liu sensed that her relationship with Qingfeng Li was not normal.
Ruyan Liu’s purpose of inviting Xue Lin was to try to figure out the relation between her and Qingfeng Li.
Xue Lin struggled about going inside for a moment after knowing that it was Ruyan Liu’s club. It was common for a beautiful woman to resist another beautiful woman by instinct.
Unfortunately, Xue Lin had to go since Qingfeng Li already stepped inside. Leaving her husband alone with that vixen would cause her to worry endlessly.
That was right! Ruyan Liu was a vixen! This thought had been in Xue Lin’s mind for a while. She had always maintained keen vigilance about this woman.
Xue Lin was trying to find out Ruyan Liu’s relationship with Qingfeng Li, while the same thing concerned Ruyan Liu. Both of them had a plan in their mind.
“Qingfeng Li knows Ruyan Liu?” Kai Wang couldn’t believe what he just found out.
Who was Ruyan Liu? Everyone knew that she was the CEO of the Liu Corporation, as well as the eldest daughter of the Liu family in the capital. How could she have anything to do with some normal guy like Qingfeng Li? In addition to Kai Wang, everyone around was shocked.
Although as shocked as everyone else, Kai Wang didn’t dare to bother Ruyan Liu. However, he could still pick on Qingfeng Li with ease. He sneered with coldness and walked to the Red Wine Banquet with Haiyang Chen, Jun Li and a couple of other people.
It was said that there would be a French billionaire coming to the dinner. If anyone was able to get to know this rich French guy, then that family’s business would develop into prosperity with no doubt.
The interior decoration of Golden Bay Club was as luxurious as the outside. The floor, walls, ceiling, everything was made of gold.
It was apparent that Ruyan Liu had eyes only for gold, even the chairs and tables were golden.
Qingfeng Li also met some acquaintances in the club, such as Tianci Zhang, the Young Master Zhang, and Yunchang Xu, the chairman of the antique association.
The lobby of the club was so large that it took up a thousand square meter. There stood four golden dining tables in the middle that were decade meters long each. All the tables were covered in a variety of food, such as cakes, cheese, sandwiches, tarts, apples, kiwi fruits, and grapes.
In addition to the gourmet, all kinds of wines were also offered. For example, Changyu Cavernet, Great Wall red wine and Dynasty wine.
Qingfeng Li was starving because he hadn’t eaten anything since lunch. Therefore, he picked up some cakes and started eating right away.
“Who is that guy? It is so rude of him eating before the host announces the dinner is ready. ”
“That is right. I heard that a rich French will come tonight, he will disgrace all the Chinese.”
“What I heard about is that not only French will come, but also Danes.”
All the people around started talking widely about Qingfeng Li, they stared at him with contempt.
In fact, the people who despised Qingfeng Li were starving since they wanted to have dinner too. However, they had to wait since Ruyan Liu hadn’t made the announcement and the special French guest hadn’t arrived yet.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you are very welcome to the Red Wine Banquet tonight. I just got the news that Mr. Bernard from France and Baron Smith from Denmark are at the doorway now. Please hold on for a minute as I go greet them.”
Ruyan Liu smiled lovely at everyone in the lobby, then headed outside to meet Mr. Bernard and Baron Smith.
A hubbub of voices filled up the lobby, after the guests heard what Ruyan Liu just said. Surprise flashed on everyone’s face.
“Mr. Bernard, the rich Frenchman in the Top 100 Forbes Global. He is not only an ultra-rich businessman, but also the owner of the largest wine vineyard in France.”
“Yeah, not to mention Baron Smith is here too. He is from the Danish royal family.”
“I have neither seen Mr. Bernard ever in my life, nor Baron Smith, it will be such an eye-opening day for me. ”
“As the CEO of Liu Corporation, Ruyan Liu was indeed resourceful to be able to invite these celebrities. ”
People in the lobby whispered to each other, couldn’t be more shocked by Ruyan Liu’s strong background.
Meanwhile, at the gate of Golden Bay Club.
Two Rolls-Royce parked at the front, two people then got out of the cars, one of them was a middle-age man of imposing stature with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a straight nose.
His name was Bernard, the French billionaire and also the owner of the largest wine vineyard in France.
The other person was a young man in his twenties, dressed in aristocratic clothes. He looked very handsome and charming with his fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.
This young man was someone that could not be neglected, as he was from the Danish royal family, and also a baron, who had an honorable status.
“Welcome to my Red Wine Banquet, Mr. Bernard and Baron Smith. It is my great honor to have both of you here. Please allow me to express our welcome and gratitude in the warmest way, and to appreciate your visit to China from the other side of the world.” said Ruyan Liu, with a sweet smile.
“You are welcome Miss Liu, your father and I are close friends. I would like to ask you for a favour this time.” Bernard replied in mandarin and smiled at Ruyan Liu.
His mandarin was very fluent and standard. Apparently, he learned it especially for the visit.
Ask me to do a favour?
Ruyan Liu’s charming face turned confused. She knew Bernard quite well, he was a billionaire in France, and his family was ultra rich. They were close with her father, and she could only be considered as a junior to him in terms of generation.
What made Ruyan Liu even more confused was that Bernard asked her for help. It didn’t make sense to her, since Bernard was a good friend of her father and her father would be willing to help him with no doubt. Then why did he bother coming to Eastern Sea City to look for her?
It seemed like that Bernard sensed her confusion. He smiled and continued, “Miss Liu, actually Baron Smith and I came here to look for someone. We know that you are well connected to many people and very resourceful, therefore, we would like to ask you for help.”
Look for someone?
Ruyan Liu figured out immediately, the main reason why both of them came here from France and Denmark was to look for someone.
“Mr. Bernard, may I ask for the name of the person you are looking for?” Ruyan Liu slightly lifted her red lips and asked.
“I am looking for Wolf King of the Wolf Continent.”
“Wolf King of the Wolf Continent, who is that?”
“Oh, he has another name, Qingfeng Li. Do you know him?” Bernard stared at Ruyan Liu, with hope filling his eyes.
Chapter 231: Someone is Not Clapping
“You are looking for Qingfeng?” A flash of surprise appeared on Ruyan Liu’s seductive face she heard Bernard’s words.
What did she hear? He said he was looking for the Wolf King of the Wolf Continent, Qingfeng Li?
As the daughter of the Liu Family, Ruyan Liu had naturally heard of the legend of the King. The King was the strongest person in that continent and had stronger powers than everyone else.
“Mr. Bernard, I know someone who is called Qingfeng Li, but I don’t know if he is the person you are looking for,” Ruyan Liu said with a smile.
Even though she knew Qingfeng, but there were many people in Eastern Sea City who had the same name. She was not sure if the person Bernard was looking for was the Qingfeng she knew.
“Oh my god. It looks like my decision to come to Eastern Sea City is correct. I just arrived here but I have already obtained news about the Wolf King. This is great! Oh yeah, what is the identity of the Qingfeng Li you know?” A happy smile broke out on Bernard’s face.
For Bernard, hearing news about Qingfeng was the best news in the world. He travelled far from France to Eastern Sea City just to meet the Wolf King and seek his help.
“He is an employee of Ice Snow Corporation. He is a salesperson.”
“A salesperson. Are you sure he is only a salesperson?”
“Mr. Bernard, of course, I am certain. He is a salesperson.”
“Sigh, it seems like this Qingfeng is not the Wolf King I seek.”
Bernard shook his fair face. The disappointment was obvious in his eyes. How could the man he respected the most in the world be a salesperson?
In his impression, the Wolf King was prideful and strong. Someone once offered 10 million dollars for him to be the security consultant of their company. Yes, a security consultant who did not even have to go to work. Truthfully, the person wanted to use Qingfeng’s influence and power to protect the company. But his offer was rejected by the Wolf King.
Wolf King did not even want an annual salary of 10 million dollars. Why would he become a salesperson with a monthly salary of a few thousand Yuan?
A flash of disappointment appeared on Baron Smith’s face as well when he heard that Qingfeng was a salesperson. Clearly, his thoughts were the same as Bernard. Why would a strong figure like Wolf King be a salesperson?
For multimillionaires and aristocrats like them, a salesperson was a lowly job.
“Mr. Bernard, Baron Smith, rest assured. I will try my best to help you find the Wolf King,” Ruyan Liu smiled apologetically.
She felt that Qingfeng did not seem like the legendary Wolf King. After all, the Wolf King was the strongest existence of all. He must be arrogant and prideful.
When the King was angered, blood would flow. The ground would shake if he stomped his foot. He watched over the entire world. The King disregarded everyone. Even if the CEO of the Liu Corporation invited him to be the CEO of the company, he would not agree. How could it be possible for him to be a salesperson at Ice Snow Corporation? It was impossible.
Honestly, the Ice Snow Corporation was a big company worth a couple hundred million Yuan. But in the eyes of Ruyan Liu who was a CEO of company worth a couple billion Yuan, the Ice Snow Corporation was a small company.
A person’s perspective differed depending on where they stood in life. For an ordinary worker, a monthly salary of 5000 Yuan was great. But for a manager of a company, a monthly salary of 50,000 Yuan was too little.
“Let’s go. I will bring you guys to the Red Wine Banquet. The guests are waiting for us,” Ruyan Liu smiled seductively and led the two to the interior of the Golden Bay Club.
Bernard and Smith did not react to the luxurious decorations. They seemed used to it. This impressed Ruyan Liu slightly. They were indeed worthy of the title of France’s multimillionaire and aristocrat of Denmark as they did not react to the decorations that costed her 10 million Yuan to purchase.
At the moment, everyone in the hall stared intently at the entrance. They all wanted to meet the legendary multimillionaire from France and the Baron of Denmark.
The Wine Banquet was only a method for the upper class to network and meet more important people.
If they could meet a multimillionaire, impress them and obtain a business project, they would hit jackpot and become rich. Even though everyone in the hall was part of the elite of Eastern Sea city, but they could not be compared to Bernard who was on the Forbes top 100 rich list.
When Ruyan Liu lead Smith and Bernard to the hall, everyone stood up and applauded loudly.
Applauding was a way to show their welcome. It showed that they strongly welcomed the two people. Even Xue Lin applauded. As for Haiyang Chen, Kai Wang and the others, they clapped so hard that their palms were red. They all yearned for Bernard’s attention.
The only person who did not clap was Qingfeng. He still held onto the cake plate and was eating the cake. He did not even raise his head and did not realize when Ruyan Liu lead the two into the hall.
The surrounding people looked at Qingfeng with disdain when they saw that he was not applauding. They felt that this person was so impolite. How could he not clap even when the France multimillionaire and Baron of Denmark has arrived. How rude.
“What a peasant. It is no wonder he can only be a salesperson,” Kai Wang muttered as he looked at Qingfeng with disdain.
Not only Kai Wang, even Haiyang Chen, Jun Li looked at Qingfeng with disdain.
In their eyes, Qingfeng was a peasant who did not know the etiquette of upper society. When one was meeting international people, they had to be respectful and welcoming.
Qingfeng did not care about the looks of the onlookers. In his heart, a full stomach was more important.
“Oh my god, Mr Bernard is so young. He looks like he is only 30 years old.”
“Of course, rich people are all concerned about their health. He sleeps well and eats well. Of course he looks young.”
“Look, Baron Smith is so good looking. His light blue eyes are like sapphires. They are so charming.”
“Sigh, Baron Smith is an aristocrat. I will be extremely happy if he spared me a single glance.”
The surrounding people all exclaimed and praised as they applauded.
The men were envious of Bernard’s wealth and youth. The women loved Smith’s charms and good looks. The French and Danish men attracted the attention of everyone once they walked into the room.
“Ms Liu, Hua Xia people are so welcoming,” Bernard said to Ruyan Liu with a smile.
He lifted his head slightly with pride. He had the right to be proud because no one in the room was richer than him.
Bernard was a smart man and knew that the people in the hall were trying to please him. This greatly pleased him. He liked to be the center of attention.
Smith also lifted his head arrogantly. He was an aristocrat and a member of the royal family. Naturally, he felt superior to others.
“Oh, there is someone who is not applauding,” Bernard said as he pointed at Qingfeng. His expression had changed slightly.
Since Qingfeng was looking down and eating his cake, Bernard could not see his face. He only felt that the figure looked quite familiar.
Chapter 232: Wolf King! It is His Highness, the Wolf King!
When she heard Bernard’s words, Ruyan Liu turned her gaze towards where he was looking at. She rolled her eyes when she saw Qingfeng eating the cake. She was slightly speechless.
It was bad enough that you were eating cake? But why were you eating it in front of Bernard and not applauding? This was extremely disrespectful. It was no wonder that he was angry.
Xue Lin saw that everyone had their attention on Qingfeng. Her expression became awkward and unnatural.
She also thought that her husband was slightly too much. Even if you disliked foreigners, you should not eat cake in front of them. They would think that you were disrespecting them.
Xue Lin pulled on Qingfeng’s elbow and asked him to stop eating the cake and raise his head.
“Why are you pulling me?” Qingfeng was enjoying the cake when he was pulled by Xue Lin. He lifted his head confusedly.
When Qingfeng raised his head, Bernard and Smith finally saw his face. The two of them trembled and their eyes were filled with happiness. They were happier than a beggar who had won 5 million dollars.
“Wold King, it is His Highness the Wolf King,” Bernard walked excitedly towards Qingfeng like he had seen a treasure. Baron Smith also walked excitedly towards Qingfeng.
“Oh no, this fellow ate his cake in front of Bernard. He will be taught a lesson.”
“I think so too. Did you see how quickly Bernard walked towards him? He must want to teach this fellow a lesson.”
“He is embarrassing our country. If Bernard hits him, I will not stop him.”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly. They all thought that Bernard was going to teach Qingfeng a lesson.
“Hehe, Qingfeng, I heard that Bernard has quite the temper. You ignored him; you are screwed,” Kai Wang chuckled mockingly at the side.
Qingfeng glanced at Kai Wang when he heard his insults but he was too lazy to deal with him. He looked at Bernard and Smith who were making their way to him. He did not understand why the two of them were in Hua Xia.
To the confusion of everyone, Bernard was not mad when he arrived in front of Qingfeng. Instead, he bowed down in greeting.
A bow was the most formal greeting in the Western world. It was the same as kneeling in Ancient Hua Xia. When an ordinary person met the Emperor, he had to kneel to show his respect for the King.
But it was different in the West. Bowing was a way to show one’s respect. This type of formality was only used when meeting the King or someone one deeply respected.
For example, even if Bernard was to meet the Mayor of Eastern Sea City, he would only shake his hand. He would not bow. But he bowed towards Qingfeng. This meant that in his heart, Qingfeng was more important than the mayor of Eastern Sea City.
“Your highness Wolf King, I have finally found you,” Bernard said emotionally. He was like a student who had seen a teacher he deeply respected.
“Little Beard, little Smith, why are you guys in Hua Xia?” Qingfeng asked them with a smile.
What, little Beard? Little Smith? They surrounding people were all speechless when they heard Qingfeng’s nicknames for Bernard and Smith. Their jaws had dropped. Some people even fainted.
Bernard was a multimillionaire of France. His net worth was more than 5 billion dollars. Even the mayor had to welcome him respectfully if he met him. How could you call him Little Beard?
Smith was a Baron of Denmark and a member of the royal family. Even the Denmark princess consort would not call him Little Smith. How could you call him Little Smith?
Little Beard, Little Smith, what lousy names. Everyone was speechless by Qingfeng’s words.
But to the shock of everyone, Bernard and Smith seemed delighted when they heard the nicknames Qingfeng gave them.
Bernard had a broad grin and said excitedly, “Your highness Wolf King, you still remember Little Beard? I am so touched.”
Smith also shook his head earnestly to show how touched he was.
The surrounding people thought that Little Beard and Little Smith were derogatory remarks. But in Smith and Bernard’s eyes, it was huge praise.
And what the f*ck, was this Bernard really the multimillionaire Bernard? Why was he so excited to see Qingfeng and even referred to himself as Little Beard?
Wait a moment. The expression of the surrounding people suddenly changed. Bernard seemed to have referred to Qingfeng as his highness, the Wolf King?
Wolf King…who was Wolf King? Everyone was confused and puzzled.
Even though the people in the hall were affluent in Eastern Sea City. But they were not at the level to know of the King.
These people did not have the opportunity to meet the King or knew what the Wolf King represented. But they understood that someone who could make this French Multimillionaire who was on the Forbes wealthiest top 100 list bow must not be an ordinary person.
The faces of those people who mocked Qingfeng turned ghastly pale and they started to tremble. They would be screwed if Qingfeng picked trouble with them.
Kai Wang’s face was ghastly pale and there were sweat drops on his forehead. As the young master of the Wang Family, he naturally knew of the power of Bernard. Someone who could make Bernard bow could not be ordinary.
Kai Wang was filled with regret when he thought about himself mocking Qingfeng earlier. Haiyang Chen and Jun Kai’s faces were also pale. There was also fear in their eyes.
These young masters all grew up in big families. Even though they messed around a lot, they still understood upper society. The higher up you were in society, the stricter the rules. They could not afford to anger somehow who could make Bernard bow.
Within the hall, the only person who knew of the identity of Wolf King was Ruyan Liu. She was the young mistress of one of the four big families in the Jing Capital and had heard of the Wolf King from her family.
There were 7 kings on Earth. Each King was strong. Wolf King was a man as strong as Dragon King.
Ruyan Liu knew that the Dragon King was the team leader of the mysterious Dragon Fang Team in Hua Xia. He was strong and his identity was special. The team’s responsibilities were to protect the President among other national security obligations. They were under the direct control of the President and not even the Regional Mayor could direct them. They had lots of power.
“Qingfeng is the legendary Wolf King?” A flash of delight appeared on Ruyan Liu’s face. If Qingfeng was the legendary Wolf King, she would not have to marry Shaoyang Wang.
But Ruyan Liu’s expression changed when she thought of the strength of the Wang Family. She had heard from her father that the Wang Family was not only one of the four families of the Capital. They had a mysterious force behind them.
The strongest Dragon King of Hua Xia had tight relations with the Wang Family. Even though Qingfeng was strong, he might not be a match for the Wang Family.
Of course, these were all Ruyan Liu’s speculations. She did not know how powerful Qingfeng was or how much influence he had. Only Qingfeng knew these things.
“Little Beard, why are you in Hua Xia?” Qingfeng asked after he had finished the cake. He casually placed the plate on the table.
“I came here to find you. I would like you to help me with something,” Bernard said respectfully as he bowed.
The arrogance on his face when he first walked into the hall had disappeared. There was only respect on his face.
Chapter 233: Letter from the Princess of Denmark
“Little Beard, what do you need?” Qingfeng said with a light smile.
He had a good impression of Bernard. Every time the Wolf Fang Team went to Europe to complete a mission, Bernard would take care of their accommodation and food for free.
“My father is ill. He has entered a coma. I would like you to give a try to treat him,” Bernard said sincerely with hope in his eyes.
Years ago, when he was severely ill and could not be cured by any doctor, Qingfeng was the one who managed to save him. Therefore, he knew that Qingfeng’s was extremely skilled medically. His acupuncture skills were like magic.
“Yeah sure, but not tonight. How about tomorrow?” Qingfeng accepted Bernard’s request with a light smile.
“Thank you so much,” Bernard said emotionally as he bowed towards Qingfeng.
He knew that since the Wolf King had promised to treat his father, his father could definitely be cured.
“Little Smith, why did you come to China?” Qingfeng asked Baron Smith.
Baron Smith was delighted to hear the nickname ‘Little Smith’. He felt that it was a nickname which proved his close relationship with Qingfeng. However, the surrounding people all twitched their mouths.
Smith brought out a letter and passed it to Qingfeng. He said, “This is a letter from Princess Maria to you. She dearly misses you but she has matters to attend to and cannot come to China. Thus, she asked me to bring you a letter.”
A letter from Princess Maria?
A flash of happiness appeared on Qingfeng’s face when he heard Baron Smith’s words. It has been a while since he had seen or contacted Princess Maria.
When he was in Europe, the Denmark Princess loved to hang around him all day. More importantly, the princess loved to draw. She pestered Qingfeng to teach her how to draw and the two were very close.
“Thank you for your hard work,” Qingfeng smiled slightly as he opened the letter. As expected, it was a drawing.
On the white sheet of paper, there was a blue ocean and a golden beach. There was a man and woman strolling on the beach. The woman looked like Princess Maria and the man looked like Qingfeng.
Qingfeng smiled slightly when he saw the drawing. He knew after looking at the drawing that Princess Maria had missed him. He had brought Princess Maria to the golden beach and made many memories there.
Xue Lin’s expression changed when she saw the drawing from Princess Maria.
After all, Qingfeng was her husband. She was uncomfortable that a Princess from another country had written a letter and even drawn a drawing for him.
But Xue Lin knew that Qingfeng had grown up overseas. Furthermore, he was the mysterious Wolf King. It was expected that he was acquainted with the Princess of Denmark.
Even though Xue Lin did not specifically know the meaning of the title “Wolf King”. But she intuitively felt that the Wolf King must be a powerful existence. Xue Lin was naturally happy that her husband was strong. But she would not be happy if other women held feelings for her husband. She felt threatened. She pondered if she should give her body to Qingfeng sooner to capture his heart.
“Mr. Bernard, Baron Smith, the Red Wine Banquet is about to start. Please head towards the side,” Ruyan Liu said to the two of them.
The most important part of the Red Wine Banquet was to drink and dance. The drinks were all placed on the side so she invited the two to head over.
Bernard and Smith did not speak immediately when they heard Ruyan Liu’s invitation. They both looked at Qingfeng and awaited his words.
“Bernard, you guys can head over. I will board the flight to France tomorrow with you guys,” Qingfeng said with a smile. Bernard was the VIP today. If he did not drink or dine, no one else would dare to drink.
After obtaining Qingfeng’s agreement, Bernard and Smith walked with Ruyan Liu towards the side. But before she left, Ruyan Liu glared heavily at Qingfeng. Clearly, she had also heard that the Denmark Princess had written him a letter. She was slightly jealous and upset.
Even beautiful women were not fully confident towards the men they liked. They were scared that another woman would seduce their man.
“Be honest with me. What is your relationship with Princess Maria?” Xue Lin questioned Qingfeng after the surrounding people had left.
Her face held a trace of coldness and jealousy. Even though she had never met Princess Maria, but the Princess must be a beauty. She had seen from the drawing that she was a gorgeous woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Are you jealous?” Qingfeng asked as he glanced at Xue Lin.
It was rare for him to see Xue Lin with such an expression. But he knew that it meant that Xue Lin was jealous.
“Who is jealous? I am not jealous.”
“Really?”
“Hmph, yeah I am jealous. Be honest with me. What is your relationship with Princess Maria,” Xue Lin questioned.
Clearly, she was not about to let Qingfeng go easily. Qingfeng also understood that he needed to explain himself or Xue Lin would continue to be jealous. Of course, he was quite happy that Xue Lin was jealous. After all, only a woman who cared about you would be jealous because of you.
“When I lived oversees, I once rescued Princess Maria when she was kidnapped. After that, she was very grateful for my help.”
“You acted as a hero and rescued the beauty?”
“Yes, you can take it that way.” Qingfeng smiled lightly as he explained the reason Princess Maria treated him well.
The jealousy on Xue Lin’s face gradually disappeared. Since Qingfeng had saved Princess Maria, it made sense for her to be filled with gratitude towards Qingfeng. But she was still slightly upset at the drawing.
“Who is more pretty? Princess Maria or me?” Xue Lin asked the question in her heart.
“Ha, I knew that you were going to ask this question,” Qingfeng thought as he chuckled in his heart. He knew that Xue Lin would ask this question.
“Of course you are more beautiful. In my heart, you are the star in the sky. You are the most beautiful and charming woman.” Qingfeng naturally had to say that Xue Lin was the most beautiful to make her happy.
Women all loved honey-coated words and Xue Lin was no exception. After hearing Qingfeng’s praise, a smile broke out on her gorgeous face. She was quite happy.
