Chapter 41: Not Giving Any Face

Wang Tengfei really felt like dying!

Damn!

What’s going on!

Did I not check the calendar before going out today?

How come I’ve been slapped in the face by this stinky loser Ye Chen one after another?

Even if I died, I wouldn't have thought that the painting was real, and it was really worth over two hundred thousand!

However, I’ve already said those bold words. What should I do now? Do I really eat the table?

That’s impossible!

The car burned, so it burned. I can buy another one. But how can I eat a table?

If I really eat it, wouldn't I die?

Other classmates were teasing him at this time, "Oh, Wang Tengfei, you said you’d eat the table yourself. Don't tell me you’re going back on your word again?"

"Exactly, everyone is waiting for your performance!"

Don't know who slapped the table, "Brother Tengfei, please start your performance!"

Wang Tengfei’s face was extremely ugly, and he blurted out, "We’re all classmates, is there any need to kick someone when they’re down like this?"

"Kick someone when they’re down?" Ye Chen laughed, "This matter was started by you yourself. Everyone is just urging you to fulfill your promise. How did it become kicking someone when they’re down?"

Wang Tengfei knew that he couldn't get past this hurdle today, so he could only endure his anger and say in a muffled voice, "I was impulsive just now, I didn't know Mount Tai. I apologize to Ye Chen, and I apologize to everyone. I hope everyone can forgive me."

Seeing him suddenly soften, everyone was very surprised. Is this still Wang Tengfei? When did he ever admit defeat?

But Wang Tengfei had no choice.

What to do?

If he didn't admit defeat, he would have to eat the table. It was impossible to eat it.

If he played the rogue, he would definitely offend the public. He didn't know how everyone would ridicule him.

Therefore, the only way now was to admit defeat. Admitting defeat was the only way to get over this hurdle.

Sure enough, as soon as he admitted defeat, a classmate said, "Oh, it’s not easy for Wang Tengfei to admit his mistake and apologize. Besides, it’s impossible for everyone to force him to eat the table, so let’s just forget it!"

"Exactly, forget it! Eating the table is impossible. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, so let’s just start the banquet!"

Ye Chen also knew that Wang Tengfei couldn't possibly eat the table, but now that he had admitted defeat, his goal had been achieved. You want to act tough, then you have to be taught a lesson.

But acting this tough, this little lesson definitely wasn't enough. Now it was just the beginning, and there was something even more miserable waiting for you later.

So he said, "Since classmate Wang Tengfei has admitted his mistake and apologized, then let’s forget about eating the table. Today is the grand opening of Daokun’s restaurant, let’s not steal his thunder!"

Wang Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief.

But in his heart, he wished he could kill Ye Chen to relieve his hatred.

Ye Chen didn't intend to let him off either. He sent a text message to Buckingham Palace boss Chen Zekai: "There’s a deputy general manager surnamed Wang in the company, his son is named Wang Tengfei. Help me check it."

Wang Dongxue replied quickly: "There is a deputy general manager named Wang Donghai, his son is named Wang Tengfei. What’s wrong, Chairman? Any instructions?"

Ye Chen replied: "Fire him, let him leave now."

"Alright!"

Wang Tengfei didn't know that his father had already been fired by the Emgrand Group and was currently going through the dismissal process at the Emgrand Group.

Having finally passed the hurdle of the bet, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was thinking to himself that he must find an opportunity to take revenge on Ye Chen!

More importantly, he had to find a way to regain his dignity in front of his classmates, otherwise, after being slapped in the face by Ye Chen twice in a row, how could he act tough in front of his classmates in the future?

Just when he didn't know how to regain his face, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the restaurant.

Everyone looked over.

Only to see a group of vicious-looking social youths break in. These people all had tattoos, and they were holding baseball bats, galvanized water pipes, and other weapons. They looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Seeing such a group of people rush in, everyone’s face changed, especially Wang Daokun and Liu Lili, whose eyes were filled with fear.

The leader, a scarred face, came in, scanned the lobby, pointed at Wang Daokun, and sneered, "Boss, you didn't even give us brothers a heads-up for such a big event as the opening. Are you looking down on us brothers?"

Liu Lili’s face was pale, she squeezed out a smile and said, "What... what are you doing?"

Before the opening, Liu Lili heard that there were social people collecting protection fees here. The previous owner of this restaurant was said to have been brought down by these local ruffians and had no choice but to transfer this shop.

But Liu Lili felt that in the bright daylight, those black social people wouldn't dare to rob money in broad daylight, so she took it at a low price and prepared to operate it well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it opened, these social people came looking for trouble!

The scarred face grinned, "Doing business here naturally requires taking care of our Brother Biao. We don't want much, just give us 20% of the dry shares of your restaurant. From now on, if anything happens here, we’ll cover it."

As he spoke, the scarred face added coldly, "If you don't give it, don't blame me for being impolite. You’ll have to close down today!"

Hearing this price, Wang Daokun and Liu Lili both gasped.

Opening their mouths and wanting 20% of the dry shares!

This is daylight robbery!

"I’ll give you one minute to consider."

Wang Tengfei suddenly felt that his opportunity to stand out had come!

So he immediately came out and said, "Who are you hanging out with?"

The scarred face sneered and asked, "What are you? Do I need to report my family name to you?"

Wang Tengfei hummed with a laugh, "Let me tell you, my dad has plenty of connections in both the black and white worlds of Jin Ling! I’ll make a phone call to the leader of the development zone and ask!"

The scarred face looked at him with some fear and tested, "You know the leader of the development zone?"

"Of course!" Wang Tengfei said coldly, "Get out if you don't want to die!"

The scarred face frowned and said, "Alright, if you can find someone who can talk, I won't come to this store in the future, but if you can't find them, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

Liu Lili said nervously, "Brother Fei, please contact them for us, I beg you!"

Wang Tengfei smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I’ll call the leader of the development zone right now!"

The Emgrand Group also had projects in the development zone, and it was Wang Tengfei’s father who was in charge, so the leader of the development zone had a lot of contact with his father and also knew Wang Tengfei.

Wang Tengfei called the top leader directly, deliberately raising his voice as he spoke, "Uncle Li, why are there a bunch of thugs collecting protection fees in the development zone? They’ve even collected it at my classmate’s store!"

The person on the other side was stunned for a moment and said, "Tengfei, what’s going on?"

Wang Tengfei said, "A friend’s restaurant is opening, and they encountered trouble collecting protection fees, so I want to ask District Chief Li whether he cares or not."

The person on the other side pondered for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "Sorry, Tengfei, the things you’re talking about are not under my jurisdiction. I’m in a meeting now, I’ll hang up first."

Without waiting for Wang Tengfei to speak, the person hung up the phone.

Wang Tengfei was dumbfounded.

What’s going on? Didn't District Chief Li always suck up to his dad before, hoping to attract more investment from the Emgrand Group?

How come he didn't give him any face now?

How could Wang Tengfei know that the news of his father being fired by the Emgrand Group had already spread throughout the entire leadership team of Jin Ling! ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
