Chapter Index

    “Actually, you might be right. It could really be meant for me.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke calmly, looking at the three of them as if he were addressing three idiots. No, calling them idiots would be an insult to idiots.

    After all, idiocy is something inherent and unavoidable, but becoming this kind of fool takes a lot of effort.

    “What did he just say? He really thinks that alcohol is for him? That’s hilarious, hahaha…”

    Chen Jie laughed exaggeratedly, but none of the waiters in the restaurant stepped forward to stop him.

    That’s because this restaurant was one of Chen Jie’s family businesses. Who would dare to cross this young master?

    “Don’t know what’s good for you. Who do you think you are? Why would anyone send you such expensive alcohol?”

    Li Yuan looked at Xu Shaochen with disdain and sneered at him.

    “Exactly. Don’t think that just because you hire some misfits and start a small workshop, you’re some kind of CEO. In front of us, you’re nothing.” Zhang Tian stood up, looking down at Xu Shaochen, and pointed at his nose, hurling vulgar insults.

    Chen Jie just watched coldly as Xu Shaochen was humiliated by Li Yuan and Zhang Tian.

    “Shaochen, let’s go!”

    Song Xinran sensed Xu Shaochen’s emotional shift and quickly grabbed his hand tightly. She didn’t want Xu Shaochen to offend Chen Jie because of her.

    After all, from what she knew, Chen Jie’s family was very wealthy, and she feared Xu Shaochen would face Chen Jie’s revenge.

    “You should thank Sister Xinran.”

    Xu Shaochen stayed silent for a long moment, then looked at the three of them and said this line before getting up and heading out of the restaurant with Song Xinran.

    In the end, he decided to take Song Xinran’s feelings into account and give her some face.

    The three of them were stunned. They didn’t expect Song Xinran and Xu Shaochen to just leave.

    “Damn it! Go after them. Song Xinran can only be mine.”

    Chen Jie gritted his teeth and then, with Li Yuan and Zhang Tian, chased after them out of the restaurant.

    “Chen Jie! What are you doing!”

    Seeing the three of them blocking her way, Song Xinran’s face turned cold as she called out Chen Jie’s name directly, clearly at the end of her patience.

    “Xinran, stay out of this.”

    Chen Jie glanced at Song Xinran and then arrogantly turned to Xu Shaochen and said, “Name your price. You’re running a small company while studying just for money, right? Tell me, how much do I need to pay you to leave Xinran? I’ll give it to you.”

    “Since you’re so rich, let me give you an opportunity.” Xu Shaochen smirked mischievously, raising one finger.

    Chen Jie sneered, “I thought you’d have a bigger appetite. A million, right? I’ll give it to you.”

    Xu Shaochen shook his head.

    “Ten million?” The smile on Chen Jie’s face froze.

    Xu Shaochen slowly uttered four words: “Ten billion dollars.”

    “Have you lost your damn mind?!” Chen Jie cursed angrily.

    “Slap!”

    As the words left his mouth, Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped him across the face, saying coldly, “I think you’ve also gone crazy thinking about women. Want to steal my girl? Are you tired of living? Get lost!”

    The other party had provoked him again and again. Did they really think Xu Shaochen was made of clay?

    Even if he were made of clay, he would still have some anger.

    “You… you dare to hit me!” Chen Jie finally reacted after feeling the burning pain on his face.

    A poor student who just started his business actually dared to hit him. Unbelievable!

    “Audacious! How dare you hit Chen Ge! Are you courting death?”

    Zhang Tian and Li Yuan quickly jumped in to defend their master, barking at Xu Shaochen.

    “Where are the security guards! What are you doing? Teach him a lesson!” Chen Jie roared at the restaurant’s security guards.

    “Yes, Young Master.”

    At his command, two security guards quickly stepped forward and surrounded Xu Shaochen, glaring at him fiercely.

    “What’s going on here!”

    At that moment, a loud voice rang out. A portly middle-aged man walked over.

    “Boss.”

    The two security guards quickly greeted the middle-aged man respectfully.

    “Dad, you came just in time. This guy actually dared to hit me. I was about to teach him a lesson.”

    Chen Jie walked to the middle-aged man’s side and pointed at Xu Shaochen while gritting his teeth.

    Chen Qiang glanced at Xu Shaochen, then snorted coldly. “You’ve got some nerve. Daring to hit my son on my turf; you deserve a lesson.”

    “Kid, you dare hit me? You better be prepared to die. Someone break one of his legs!” Chen Jie’s eyes were full of hatred and cruelty as he lowly growled at Xu Shaochen.

    “I’d like to see who dares to touch a single hair on Mr. Xu’s head today.”

    At that moment, another cold voice rang out. Han Feng walked over with a few people.

    He had been in the restaurant and took note of the commotion outside. Realizing his opportunity, he quickly brought several friends with him.

    The moment Chen Qiang saw Han Feng, his face changed drastically.

    He didn’t know Xu Shaochen, but he knew Han Feng. After all, his family was nothing compared to the Han Family.

    “You ignorant fool. Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to interfere?”

    Seeing that the one meddling was the same Han Feng who had buttered him up with a gift of alcohol, Chen Jie immediately cursed without any courtesy.

    “Slap!”

    Chen Qiang slapped him across the face and scolded, “Insolent! You’re the fool here. Who told you to speak to Young Master Han like that!”

    After scolding, Chen Qiang quickly turned toward Han Feng and respectfully said, “Young Master Han, please calm down. This all stems from the ignorance of my son. I ask for your understanding and hope you won’t take it to heart.”

    Wow! Seeing this, everyone was instantly astonished.

    “Dad, are you mistaken? What kind of Young Master is he? He literally just sent alcohol to butter me up.”

    Holding his face, Chen Jie looked at Chen Qiang, completely dumbfounded.

    “You’re joking! Stop flattering yourself. You think you’re worthy of drinking alcohol from me? That alcohol was specifically sent to Mr. Xu.”

    Han Feng sneered directly in response to Chen Jie’s words, then pointed at Xu Shaochen and spoke with immense respect.

    He found it utterly ridiculous that the fool would think the alcohol was for him. It almost made him burst out laughing.

    Where did he even get the confidence to make that mistake?

    Wow! With those words, everyone was once again in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief as they looked at Xu Shaochen.

    Li Yuan, Zhang Tian, and the others were particularly mortified, their faces alternating between red and white. They couldn’t believe the alcohol was actually meant for Xu Shaochen.

    Thinking back to what they had just said in the restaurant, it was all undeniably laughable now.

    No wonder Xu Shaochen had that disdainful smile earlier. He probably thought of them as clowns from the start.

    But now everyone had the same question: Who exactly was Xu Shaochen to make Han Feng treat him with such respect and reverence?
