Chapter 6 Really knows how to flatter oneself

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chuxue Lin watched Lin Feng's car disappear into the distance and sighed, "It must be grandma's idea! When we got married, except for grandpa, grandma, and my eldest uncle, mom and dad, everyone was against it... Plus, with that despicable Lin Feng always whispering in grandma's ear, she probably has wanted me to resign from the president position for a long time... Tomorrow is going to be like walking into a trap..."

Actually, deep down, Chuxue Lin felt rather disheartened toward the Lin Family!

Inside the Lin Group, all the critical departments were occupied by aunts and uncles, all looking out for themselves and never for the company.

When there were benefits to be had, everyone would rush forward greedily. But as soon as the company faced a crisis, they couldn't retreat fast enough, and some relatives even tried to sell off the company before it went bankrupt to get their share of the money.

Chuxue Lin had put all her personal savings into the company, wholeheartedly trying to turn the tide of the crisis, only to be stabbed in the back by her own relatives.

"If it wasn't for the company being grandpa's life's work, I would have just walked away!" Chuxue Lin kicked a pebble on the ground away with her foot. At this moment, she wasn't the powerful president, but more like a helpless little girl.

Chen Tang approached with a sympathetic look and took Chuxue Lin's hand in his, squeezing it gently, "Don't be afraid, wife! I'll be with you!"

"Hmm!" Chuxue Lin responded, glancing at the shattered gift box on the ground, "Grandma's gift is broken, that's going to be a bit of a problem. If we can't buy an identical one, Lin Feng will surely have something to say tomorrow."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Tang's mouth, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I guarantee he won't have anything to say tomorrow!"

"You sure? You don't even have two hundred thousand in your account!" Chuxue Lin looked at Chen Tang with some hesitation.

Chen Tang smiled slightly, "A man, how can he say he can't do it? Trust your husband!"

...

After sending Chuxue Lin home, it was already past six o'clock!

At seven o'clock that evening, Chen Tang had an appointment to meet with the person in charge of the Chen Southwest Guard. Elder Pang had already sent the address and the private room information to Chen Tang's mobile phone.

After letting Chuxue Lin know, Chen Tang hailed a cab and hurried to the Yun City Extravagant Imperial Hotel.

Because he was in a rush, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, Chen Tang accidentally bumped into a young man. He immediately turned and apologized to the man, "Sorry, sorry!"

"Are you blind? You ruined Young Master's clothes, can you afford it? Idiot!" The man cursed Chen Tang, a bit irate.

Chen Tang didn't retort, but when he got a clear look at the man's and his female companion's faces, he was taken aback.

Qi Jun and Qin Yao?

Both were Chen Tang's classmates from university, but what's somewhat melodramatic is that Qin Yao was a girl Chen Tang dated for a while back then.

At that time, Chen Tang didn't even know when the family ban would be lifted and had thought he would lead an ordinary life forever.

But later on, he was outdone by Qi Jun, the little rich brat in their class.

Recognizing Qi Jun and Qin Yao, they of course recognized Chen Tang as well, "Yo, isn't this our class's Chen Tang, the great Young Master Chen? You think you belong in a place like this? Do you know where you are? The number one hotel in Yun City, a meal here costs at least ten thousand yuan. Can an attendant like you afford it?"

Qi Jun, notorious for his sharp tongue, used to pick fights with anyone in university the moment he had a chance!

And most importantly, Qi Jun and Chen Tang had a deep-seated enmity!

In university, Qi Jun was about to force himself on a girl in the classroom when Chen Tang busted him. Chen Tang kicked Qi Jun right in the crotch, nearly causing him to lose the ability to have offspring.

The grudge started right then and there!

Afterward, Qi Jun couldn't stand Chen Tang everywhere he went; having snatched Chen Tang's girlfriend, he'd take every chance to ridicule him!

"Oh, I get it now! You're working here as an attendant, right? Haha, perfect, I'll have you serve me during my meal later! Darling, you don't mind, do you?" While talking, Qi Jun wrapped his arm around Qin Yao's waist beside him and kissed her on the face.

This was a blatant show of provocation!

You have to know, when Chen Tang and Qin Yao were dating for over two years, Chen Tang worked part-time to buy her lipstick, phones, but aside from holding hands, Qin Yao never had any other intimate contact with him.

And now, she was showing off her affection with another man right in front of Chen Tang!

However, everything was in the past. Chen Tang wasn't petty, nor did he have any interest in wasting his time with these brainless people.

"Qi Jun, I don't have time for you. I came here to meet someone!" Chen Tang looked indifferently at Qi Jun and Qin Yao and then turned to walk towards the elevator.

But Qin Yao stretched out her hand to block Chen Tang, "Looking for someone here? Chen Tang... stop lying. I think you still can't forget about me and are secretly following me, right? Let me tell you, stop dreaming!"

"..." Seeing Qin Yao's smug expression, Chen Tang felt so frustrated he almost threw up.

Follow Qin Yao?

Was he sick in the head?

Back in college when he dated Qin Yao, he thought she was kind and pure. But after she transformed into a materialistic, power-hungry woman full of schemes, Chen Tang was actually relieved they broke up.

Qin Yao raised her voice deliberately to attract the attention of many passersby in the lobby.

The surrounding crowd started criticizing!

"This young man is too despicable, right? Actually stalking the girl!"

"They've already broken up, yet he still won't let go. Just look at him, a total loser!"

...

Qi Jun also looked triumphant, hugging Qin Yao as if showing off, "Chen Tang, I advise you to give up on this idea! Yao Yao is mine now. If you dare to touch a hair on her head, I will kill you!"

"Jun Ge, it feels so great to be protected by you! Wait until tonight, I'll let you do whatever you want with me, okay? I promise you'll be satisfied..." Qin Yao cooed, nestling into Qi Jun's arms and pretending to be a delicate bird, making Chen Tang feel so disgusted he almost vomited.

There were still people in the world who shamelessly tried to glorify themselves like this.

"Boring!" Chen Tang checked the time. It was just a few minutes before seven, and he needed to hurry.

Chen Tang walked around Qin Yao and once again prepared to leave.

Qin Yao snorted coldly from behind, "What's the matter, hit the nail on the head? Are you angry because you're embarrassed? If you've got the guts, don't leave, haha... I'm really glad I broke up with you back in the day..."

Qi Jun chimed in from the side, "Forget it, Yao Yao, he does look pretty pitiful now. It's not easy being a waiter here! As classmates, shall we give him a hand?" As he spoke, he winked at Qin Yao.

Qin Yao eagerly agreed, "Sure!"

Qi Jun opened his wallet, took out two red bills, and threw them on the ground, scolding Chen Tang, "Chen Tang, come on! My leather shoes are dirty. Come and clean them for me. These two hundred are yours... seems like there's no rag, just use your shirt..."

Roar!

The surrounding crowd burst into a fit of laughter!

Qi Jun was clearly intending to humiliate Chen Tang!

Chen Tang, though he kept his patience, was feeling a bit of anger now, "Qi Jun, Qin Yao! Don't go too far. I'm here to meet someone and don't have time for your nonsense!"

Two hundred?

What a joke!

Young Master Chen, whose worth was in the trillions, could earn millions in the time it took to bend over. Would he care about these two hundred?

Qi Jun, however, did not intend to let Chen Tang off that easily, "What's the matter, not enough? Then I'll add another five hundred!" He pulled out another five hundred from his wallet and scattered them on the floor!

Just as Chen Tang was about to lose his temper, the General Manager Wang Ke of the Emperor Hao Hotel respectfully accompanied Elder Pang and hurried over from the direction of the elevator...
