Chapter 106
When Chu Feng had leaned in so close to her hair that he was practically by the side of her ears, Yun Muqing asked in annoyance, “Wh-What are you doing?”
Chu Feng said, “I smell jealousy. Do you smell it too? It seems like the green-eyed monster has taken over you. The smell is overbearing!”
“I-I’m not jealous! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Yun Muqing’s pretty face felt so hot that even her earlobes turned red. She angrily chased after him while throwing punches at him with her dainty fists.
“Stop right there and tell me what you mean!”
Chu Feng laughed as he ran in front of her; the matching couple and the beautiful scenery were such a wonderful sight for the surrounding tourists as they gasped in admiration.
However, not far away from the lawn stood a group of people, dressed in suits, who were exuding an extraordinary aura. They surrounded a couple who looked somber, and they were trying to appease them.
“Director Liu, please listen to me. It was a misunderstanding. It definitely was. We have such a good relationship, so why would I blacklist you?”
Their leader was an astute man who was around thirty years old. He explained anxiously, “Th-There must be something wrong with the system. My subordinates are not competent enough.”
This person was the Jiangling’s Happy Valley’s General Manager, Wang Wei. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The couple whom he was desperately trying to appease was the couple who was being stopped at the door, Liu Xuecheng and Han Li.
Wang Wei has a bellyful of complaints because he didn’t know what went wrong on this day—the system malfunctioned, causing these two to be stopped outside. Moments ago, Liu Xuecheng phoned him and kicked up quite a ruckus, leaving him full of indignation and distress when he still had to apologize and make it up for the couple.
Even though his title was the General Manager of Happy Valley, and it might sound glamorous, he was still just an employee. Happy Valley was a big and lucrative business, but he had no share. He didn’t earn much, but he had to do all sorts of difficult work and was constantly scolded. In the end, he had no choice but to endure everything.
However, one had to be careful when dealing with the high-positioned figures of Jiangling City. Otherwise, those important people might pick on them by causing them trouble, which might lead to the delaying of the opening of Happy Valley; that was one responsibility Wang Wei cannot afford to bear.
Although Liu Xuecheng appeared to be nothing more than the director of a cultural center, he was in fact a leader on the Deputy Bureau Director level, meaning that he held extremely great power; he had controlled over half of the cultural and entertainment centers in Jiangling. Since Liu Xuecheng knew Wang Wei’s weakness, he could easily take advantage of him and make him suffer by exaggerating on a couple of problems that he encountered.
Thus, Liu Xuecheng was someone who must not be offended by any chance.
Wang Wei tried to explain and soothe them. As he spoke, his subordinates surrounded Liu Xuecheng and Han Li, trying to placate them.
The tall Liu Xuecheng scowled as he put his hands behind his back. He snorted and looked very dissatisfied.
“Misunderstanding? I think it was intentional. I think you intentionally wanted to cause us trouble and embarrass us!” Han Li was outraged, and all her nastiness were showing. She pointed at Wang Wei and scolded, “You said the system broke down? If so, how did everybody walk in so easily, but we were blacklisted? Your people stopped us at the door, and they even raised their voice at us. You must give me an acceptable explanation for this, or we will attribute the responsibility to you, and you’ll have to deal with the consequences.”
Wang Wei was scolded so badly that he couldn’t help but scowl; he held the dignified position of general manager, yet he had to deal with Han Li’s b*tchy attitude.
But considering the power that her husband held, Wang Wei pretended to humble himself by nodding and bowing, saying, “Yes, you are right. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Director Liu, here’s a token of an apology. Please accept it.” Wang Wei hurriedly pushed a credit card into Liu Xuecheng’s hand. He smiled and said, “Buy your wife some new clothes to make her happy.”
Liu Xuecheng’s eyes narrowed, but he accepted it wordlessly. Han Li’s anger was also largely extinguished, and she gave a snort of contempt.
Liu Xuecheng kept his hands clasped behind his back as he lectured, “Manager Wang, if you managed your subordinates well and upheld their quality, we wouldn’t have to experience this unpleasant episode.”
