Chapter 144: Jealousy at Work

Plus, he was never the type to be vain or care about appearances, so he simply bought some generic brands; as long as they were wearable, he would just throw them away when they broke.

He never expected to be looked down upon by such a snob now, which left him feeling both annoyed and amused.

"Are you going to get out or not? If you don't, I'm calling security!" Chen Mingjie barked.

"This guy is truly detestable!" Su Mingyue said, feeling irritated.

"I'll teach him a lesson."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he strode toward Chen Mingjie.

Chen Mingjie retreated immediately and shouted, "What do you think you're doing, kid? You want to throw hands, is that it? Someone, come quickly!"

Over a dozen muscular men in suits rushed in from all directions, pouncing on Lin Feng like wolves and tigers.

But they were merely ordinary people who had received professional training; how could they possibly be a match for Lin Feng, who was at the Martial Emperor realm?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had knocked all of these security guards to the ground.

The female staff member and Chen Mingjie were both stunned into silence; the strength Lin Feng had casually displayed was already beyond their scope of understanding!

"Why are you just standing there? Keep calling people. I want to see how many security guards your company has," Lin Feng said playfully.

"You... don't you get too arrogant!" Chen Mingjie roared.

"The arrogant one is you!"

Lin Feng slapped Chen Mingjie across the face, instantly sending this snob flying, blood streaming from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Mingjie let out a series of pig-like screams in pain and couldn't even get back up.

"You're nothing but a lowly manager, and you really think you're someone important?" Lin Feng said dismissively.

It was at this moment that a thunderous shout came from upstairs: "Stop! Who has the audacity to run wild in my company!"

Lin Feng turned his head to look and saw a pot-bellied middle-aged man in a black suit walking quickly down the stairs, followed by a very alluring woman.

That woman was dressed in a bright red cheongsam, looking incredibly enchanting, like a fresh red rose.

"Uncle Yang, it's me!" Su Mingyue said loudly.

Yang Jinlong immediately noticed Su Mingyue, so he quickened his pace and ran over, asking anxiously, "Mingyue, what on earth is going on here? Is this guy who hit people your friend?"

"Uncle Yang, he is my fiancé Lin Feng; you should have heard of him," Su Mingyue said.

Yang Jinlong's expression changed instantly!

Lin Feng could be said to be at the height of his popularity in Jiangbei City right now; how could Yang Jinlong not have heard of him!

"So it's him! But why is this happening? Why did he hit my people?" Yang Jinlong said in astonishment, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Su Mingyue said angrily, "Uncle Yang, this subordinate of yours is truly too much. He suspected that my invitation was picked up or stolen, but he tried to drive us away without even verifying it. Lin Feng couldn't stand it, which is why he hit him."

"Uncle Yang, is this how you do business? To be honest, I am very disappointed."

Yang Jinlong was furious and ran over in a rage, kicking Chen Mingjie several times.

Although Su Mingyue's explanation was one-sided, Yang Jinlong did not doubt it at all; he knew that as the daughter of the Su Family, she would never lie about such things, nor would she deign to lie!

"You dog, you actually dared to bully others by abusing your power and turn away such an important guest? What are you trying to do? Rebel?"

"Pack your things and get out right now! From this day forward, my company has no place for someone like you!"

Yang Jinlong roared, spraying spit all over Chen Mingjie's face.

Chen Mingjie regretted it so much his guts were turning green; he knelt on the ground, hugging Yang Jinlong's legs and wailing.

"Boss, give me one more chance. I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again. I've followed you for so many years to reach the position of manager; even if I haven't achieved great merit, I've put in the hard work..."

Yang Jinlong kicked Chen Mingjie away without any courtesy and cursed, "I give you a chance, but did you give me a chance, you dog? You've ruined my reputation and smeared my company's name. Do you have any idea how much loss that will cause me!"

"I really know I was wrong, please, Boss..."

Chen Mingjie was now like a drowned dog, wretched to the extreme; where was the arrogant and wild demeanor he had before?

Suddenly, Lin Feng asked, "Tell me, why did you look down on us? Although I am dressed very plainly, my fiancée is so outstanding; I don't believe you couldn't tell that her status is noble."

Chen Mingjie stammered, not knowing if he didn't want to say it or didn't dare to.

Yang Jinlong immediately slapped him and roared, "Mr. Lin is asking you a question, did you hear that!"

Chen Mingjie finally cried and said, "Mr. Lin, actually, I had already realized that this young lady's status was extraordinary, but you were dressed so plainly, so I thought you were a kept man she was supporting... I was jealous of you, so I intentionally made things difficult for you, wanting to ruin your relationship..."

"So you weren't just being a snob," Lin Feng laughed.

"I find this guy even more detestable now," Su Mingyue said indignantly.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. To err is human; besides, this is just a trivial matter, not worth getting angry over. It's only human nature for him to be jealous of me. Let's just give him a chance."

"Mr. Lin is truly broad-minded!"

Yang Jinlong gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up, then scolded Chen Mingjie again: "What are you still doing kneeling on the ground? Get up! How could I have such a stupid subordinate? It's so embarrassing!"

"Remember, this time I am sparing you for Mr. Lin's sake. If you dare to do this again, I will absolutely not show mercy!"

Chen Mingjie wiped the tears from his face and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Boss; thank you, Mr. Lin..."

Su Mingyue had no interest in wasting any more time here, so she urged them to move on, and Yang Jinlong had the female staff member lead the way for them.

Entering the elevator and going straight to the top floor, Lin Feng and Su Mingyue soon arrived at the auction hall.

They saw that the luxurious and bright auction hall was already packed with guests. Most of the seats were occupied. The front rows were VIP seats, which were even more luxurious, and there were even young, beautiful female staff members specifically responsible for serving tea and water to the VIPs.

As soon as Lin Feng and Su Mingyue sat down, they saw Ye Qinghan not far away.

Ye Qinghan waved with a smile, but since the auction was about to begin, she did not come over to greet them.

"I didn't expect Ye Qinghan to be here too."

Su Mingyue felt a bit nervous, even a little vigilant, and gripped Lin Feng's hand tightly, as if he would run off to Ye Qinghan the moment she let go.

"The Ye Family is also a wealthy family; it's not strange that Ye Qinghan received an invitation," Lin Feng said.

Relaxing and soothing music began to play, and an alluring woman in a red cheongsam walked to the front stage under the glow of the spotlight.

Seeing this woman, Lin Feng immediately felt she looked familiar.
