”Ding-ling-ling—”

Just as he stepped out of the school gates, Jiang Chen pulled out his phone at the sound of the ringing, a slight frown lifting his eyebrows as he glanced at the caller ID.

”Hello, President Lin!”

”Mr. Jiang, are you free this evening?” the respectful voice of Lin Bingrui came through the receiver.

Jiang Chen paused, asking in confusion, ”I’m free tonight, what’s up?”

”Oh, it’s nothing much, I just wanted to invite Mr. Jiang to join me for a meal. Would Pengcheng Hotel be alright?” Lin Bingrui’s voice was cautious.

Jiang Chen blinked, realization dawning on him. This was an attempt to cozy up to him. He gave it some thought; Lin Bingrui was a decent man, and as the dominant force in Dingjing, he might need his help in the future. Being too distant wouldn’t be advantageous.

”Sure, I’ll be there tonight,” Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen headed to the First Hospital.

As evening approached, after a day filled with various tasks, Jiang Chen arrived at Pengcheng Hotel.

”Welcome!” As he entered the hotel, several greeters dressed in Flame Robe bent forward with sweet smiles directed at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gave a nod and walked toward the lobby’s resting area. He had arranged to meet Lin Bingrui in the lobby, who would receive him. He was a bit early, but waiting for a while was no bother.

”Jiang Chen?!” As Jiang Chen approached the resting area, about to take a seat, a voice of surprise called out.

Turning his head, he saw it was Xu Zhiyan.

”What are you doing here?” Xu Zhiyan approached, glaring at Jiang Chen with a resentful look.

He had lost face today, knocked unconscious with a single slap from Jiang Chen, and to make matters worse, Gong Yue was paying him even less attention now. This made Xu Zhiyan despise Jiang Chen!

”What I’m doing here is none of your business. Do you own this hotel or what?” Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and took a seat on the sofa in the resting area.

Xu Zhiyan sneered coldly, ”Heh, you guessed it. This hotel does belong to my family, and we don’t welcome bastards like you here.”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, giving Xu Zhiyan a surprised look.

”Security!” Xu Zhiyan turned and shouted towards the doorway.

Several security guards rushed over immediately.

”Young Master Xu!”

”Young Master Xu!”

Xu Zhiyan pointed at Jiang Chen and coldly ordered, ”Throw him out, and if he resists, call the police immediately!”

”Yes!” The security guards responded and headed straight for Jiang Chen.

”Xu Zhiyan, right? Are you sure you want to kick me out? You better not regret it!” Jiang Chen looked at Xu Zhiyan with a mocking expression.

Xu Zhiyan roared, ”Regret my ass, kick him out!”

The security guards stepped forward, prepared to forcibly remove Jiang Chen from the hotel.

At that moment, Lin Bingrui, accompanied by Lin Zhiyan, was making his way towards the lobby to greet Jiang Chen.

In fact, Lin Bingrui had brought Lin Zhiyan and a group of bodyguards to Pengcheng Hotel that afternoon, personally received by the hotel owner Xu Guitian.

Now, seeing that it was about time, he had just left the private room to personally welcome Jiang Chen. Xu Guitian followed beside him, full of surprise, utterly perplexed. In Dingjing, who else would warrant Lin Bingrui to greet at the hotel entrance?

”Get him out of here!” Just as they reached the hallway, a chorus of shouts rang out, and Lin Bingrui and his party turned to look.

”Mr. Jiang?!” Lin Zhiyan spotted Jiang Chen surrounded by a group of security guards and couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise.

Lin Bingrui’s face darkened, and he pointed ahead, angrily glaring at Xu Guitian, ”What is going on here? President Xu, is this how your hotel treats my honored guests?”

”No, President Lin...” Xu Guitian’s face changed, but he didn’t know how to explain, he was unaware of what had transpired. However, turning his head to look more closely, he was so startled that his face turned pale.

Wasn’t the young man standing in front of President Lin’s honored guest and gesturing confidently his own son?

After scolding Xu Guitian, Lin Bingrui strode toward Jiang Chen. Xu Guitian, not daring to lag behind, hurriedly jogged to overtake Lin Bingrui, rushing forward with an urgent expression.

”Get out of...” The security guard had already approached Jiang Chen and was about to grab his arm.

”Stop!”

A sudden angry shout rose, the guards were stunned, they turned to see their boss running over in a hurry and immediately stopped their actions.

Jiang Chen looked up at Xu Guitian, caught sight of Lin Bingrui rushing over, and couldn’t help but smile, looking mockingly at Xu Zhiyan.

”What are you doing? How can you just expel a guest?” Xu Guitian arrived and offered an apologetic smile to Jiang Chen, then turned to glare furiously at Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan was taken aback and started to defend himself, ”Dad, this guy is just a broke college student, look at his clothes, they’re all shabby secondhand stuff, he’s not fit to dine in our hotel!”

”Slap—”

Xu Guitian’s face shifted dramatically, he smacked Xu Zhiyan’s face hard, roaring, ”No matter who this gentleman is, he’s better than you, hurry up and apologize to this gentleman.”

”But dad...” Xu Zhiyan tried to explain, but as several figures approached, he instantly turned to Lin Bingrui, ”Uncle Lin, please reason with me, look at this bum, he...”

”Bang!”

Lin Bingrui was far from courteous, he ruthlessly kicked Xu Zhiyan, knocking him to the ground, ”How dare you insult Mr. Jiang? Do you believe I can shut your family’s hotel down right now? Make your entire family beg on the streets?! If it weren’t for the sake of your father’s face, I would kill you right now!”

Xu Zhiyan was dumbstruck, lying on the ground and staring blankly at Lin Bingrui, completely at a loss, but the next moment he understood, not only did he understand, but his face suddenly turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with shock.

”Mr. Jiang, I apologize for arriving late and causing you such disturbance!” After scolding Xu Zhiyan, Lin Bingrui no longer paid any attention to him, turned to Jiang Chen, and gave a deep bow, speaking apologetically.

Jiang Chen shook his head, ”It doesn’t matter, let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

”Right!” Lin Bingrui gestured towards the elevator nearby, ”Mr. Jiang, please follow me.”

Jiang Chen nodded and followed Lin Bingrui toward the elevator.

Xu Zhiyan was left completely dumbfounded, staring directly at Jiang Chen and Lin Bingrui as they walked away, his eyes filled with disbelief.

”Slap—”

Xu Guitian smacked Xu Zhiyan’s head hard, shouting angrily, ”What are you spacing out for? Aren’t you going to apologize?”

”Dad, that... who on earth is that guy?” Xu Zhiyan got up from the ground, pointing at the retreating figure of Jiang Chen.

Xu Guitian glared at Xu Zhiyan and spoke in a low voice, ”I don’t know who he is. All I know is that President Lin came at three in the afternoon to welcome him, and has been waiting until now to dine with him!”

”Slap!”

Changing his tone, Xu Guitian couldn’t help smacking Xu Zhiyan’s head again, ”You idiot, have you gone mad? Picking a fight with President Lin’s honored guest? Do you want our whole family to be doomed?”

Xu Zhiyan was stunned, thinking about his various provocations towards Jiang Chen in school, he suddenly broke out into a cold sweat.

”Let’s go!” Xu Guitian urged, walking towards the elevator, and Xu Zhiyan hurriedly followed.
