Chapter 36 - The Disturbance in the Banquet
Chapter 36 The Disturbance in the Banquet
“Who are they? They look unfamiliar.”
“The girl in the middle seems to be Tang Rou, a star who has just become popular recently,” said a young man frivolously.
“She looks good!” Another rich second generation was more frivolous. They never looked up to stars.
Even the a-list stars such as Zhang Ziyi and Fan Binbin were also nobody in their eyes, not to mention Tang Rou who was just an unimportant star.
Tang Wenyan was very awkward. He knew most of the people here, but nobody knew him!
“Manager Tang, you are here?”
When Tang Wenyan felt awkward, a voice sounded.
A man in his fifties came with a handsome young man in his twenties.
“Hello, General Manager Hu!”
Tang Wenyan and Song Ci hurried to say hello. This person was their immediate superior, Hu Jin, the general manager of Qiankun Group.
“Manager Tang, Manager Song, you also come to the party?” Hu Jin was a little surprised and asked, although the question was not polite. This banquet was not accessible to ordinary managers. How could they come?
Tang Wenyan looked a little unnatural. It seemed that Hu Jin meant that they had sneaked into.
Song Ci was also a little unhappy. “General Manager Hu, it was Chairman Zheng who invited us.”
Hu Jin was stunned and surprised! Chairman Zheng was Zheng Guangyi, his boss and the initiator of this banquet. How could he invite Tang Wenyan and Song Ci? Was he going to focus on training these two people? Recently, Vice General Manager Li of the company had left, and many managers had been fighting openly and secretly for that position. Would Tang Wenyan be the next vice general manager?
If so, Tang Wenyan was really qualified to attend the banquet.
“It seems that I have always neglected Tang Wenyan. I need to pay more attention to him in the future.”
Hu Jin stopped thinking and changed the topic. He pointed to the youth beside him and said with a smile on his face, “This is my son, Hu Wen. He has just come back from abroad.”
Then he said to Hu Wen, “This is Manager Tang of our company. He has strong working ability and is an example for you to learn from later.”
Hu Wen bowed slightly to Tang Wenyan and said, “Hello, Uncle Tang! In the future, I may work in Qiankun Group. Please give me your advice in the future and I would appreciate them.”
“You’re too modest. In terms of ability, who can match your dad, General Manager Hu. I dare not display my slight skill before your dad to teach young people.” Tang Wenyan was a manager anyway and also knew how to suck up to somebody.
Tang Wenyan’s words greatly pleased Hu Jin, who was very happy and couldn’t help being complacent.
“General Manager Hu, this is my daughter, Tang Rou.” When it came to Tang Rou, Tang Wenyan was very proud.
Hu Jin looked at Tang Rou with a smile on his face and said, “I’ve heard about Miss Tang for a long time. Manager Tang, you really have a good daughter!”
“Nice to meet you, Uncle Hu!” Tang Rou extended greetings to Hu Jin.
Hu Jin nodded with a smile, looked at his son next to him, then looked at Tang Wenyan and said, “Manager Tang, Manager Song, there are several long-term clients of our company over there. I’d like to introduce them to you. Let the youth enjoy the party by themselves. I’m afraid they’ve already been impatient with us.”
It sounded reasonable, so Tang Wenyan and Song Ci couldn’t refuse.
“Uncle Tang, Aunt Song, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Sister Tang Rou.” Hu Wen took the opportunity to say.
Song Ci was still worried about Tang Rou and was unwilling to leave.
“Dad, mom, you can go. I can take care of myself,” said Tang Rou softly.
...
“Sister Tang Rou, let’s go there and have some food!” advised Hu Wen.
Tang Rou’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She didn’t feel comfortable with Hu Wen’s address toward her, but because of her parents, she nodded.
“Sister Tang Rou, you may not know that I am your loyal fan.” Hu Wen took two glasses of red wine from the waiter and handed one to Tang Rou.
“Thank you. I can’t drink.” Tang Rou refused.
“It’s okay to drink. It’s good for the skin for girls to drink some red wine. When I was abroad, I’ve visited Bordeaux winery...”
Hu Wen said a lot, showing off his wide knowledge consciously or unconsciously.
Tang Rou just smiled. She was not interested in these.
But Hu Wen didn’t care and still harangued.
“Sister Tang Rou, do you have a boyfriend?” Hu Wen asked suddenly.
Tang Rou looked at him and said nothing. Obviously, she didn’t want to talk about it.
Hu Wen, however, didn’t seem to notice that and continued, “I came back from abroad, so I’ve developed a western way of thinking. I like to do things and talk straight. To tell you the truth, I like you very much. At first sight, I think you are the girl I have been looking for.”
Tang Rou was stunned. She didn’t expect Hu Wen to express his love to her. It was the first time that she had met this kind of thing, so she was at a loss.
“If only the man in front of me is Brother Chu Xun!” Thinking of Chu Xun, Tang Rou suddenly calmed down and said lightly, “Don’t be kidding, Mr. Hu. You know that we stars are not allowed to fall in love.”
“Of course I know that. Your career is on the rise. We can date secretly, so as not to affect you. What about that? In addition, I can pay you one million yuan of living expenses every month...”
Tang Rou’s face darkened and she interrupted the voluble Hu Wen.
“Shut up! Who do you think I am? I don’t want to have a boyfriend now. Even if I want to have one, I won’t find someone as disgusting as you. You’d better keep your money to please other girls.”
Hu Wen’s face also darkened.
“Huh, don’t acting in front of me. I clearly know what kind of people you are. In order to be famous, you stars are willing to have sex with many people. Don’t pretend to be pure here. A million a month is enough for me to keep ten college students.”
Tang Rou was very angry and her eyes were slightly red, tears rolling around in her eyes. She turned and was going to leave.
However, Hu Wen stepped forward to block her way and said with an insidious smile on his face, “I’m telling you, the vice general manager of Qiankun Group has left recently. My father is the general manager and he has one vote. If you stay with me for a month, I promise your father can be the next vice general manager, okay?”
“You... you’re shameless...” Tang Rou was sad to find that she was so useless that she didn’t know how to scold others.
“How can sex be shameless? Besides, my skill is very good, and I promise that you will be very comfortable...”
“Clatter!”
Tang Rou shivered because of Hu Wen’s impudence. She took a glass of red wine and threw it to him in the confusion.
Being poured directly, Hu Wen was in a mess.
...
“Do you think that fake foreigner can subdue that star?”
“That goes without saying. Today’s girls worship things foreign and fawn to foreign countries, including stars, let alone an unimportant star. I dare say that they’ll go to a hotel to have sex within half an hour.”
“The girl looks good. The fake foreigner will have a nice night!”
A group of rich second generations looked at Tang Rou and Hu Wen without any scruples and joked one after another.
But the next scene stunned them all.
Tang Rou actually poured a whole glass of red wine on Hu Wen.
...
Hu Wen wiped the red wine on his face. He was so angry that he slapped Tang Rou without hesitation.
“Slap!”
Hu Wen slapped Tang Rou fiercely. Tang Rou was so delicate. How could she bear Hu Wen’s angry slap? She fell to the ground, with an obvious mark of five fingers on her delicate face.
“Rourou...”
Tang Wenyan and Song Ci were talking to others. When they saw their daughter knock down by a slap, they rushed over.
Hu Jin also saw it. He frowned and went over.
“What’s the matter?” Looking at his embarrassed son, Hu Jin scolded loudly.
“Dad, it’s all this b*tch’s fault.” Hu Wen pointed to Tang Rou and roared.
“Watch your words!” Song Ci stared at Hu Wen and shouted. If it wasn’t for Tang Wenyan who was catching her, she would have rushed to Hu Wen and slapped him.
“What happened?” Hu Jin asked Hu Wen.
“Dad, she looks delicate and pure. But in fact, she’s really a b*tch. She asked me to introduce some big bosses to her. She said that she would do anything as long as those bosses help her be famous. She also said that she could sleep with me for free, and that she would be on call as long as I want.” Hu Wen pointed to Tang Rou and shouted.
“Nonsense! I didn’t say that.” Tang Rou didn’t care about her swollen face and glared at Hu Wen angrily, tears flowing continuously.
“You clearly know whether you have said those words. Why would I talk nonsense? I’m telling the truth. Just because I didn’t agree and said that I would tell your parents, you became angry and poured a glass of red wine on me.”
Hu Wen’s words were righteous. He lowered his head to cover up the malice in his eyes.
“So it is...”
“No wonder such a star can come to the party. Maybe she got this chance by her body.”
“Now these girls don’t know how to love themselves. They can do anything to be famous.”
The guests around whispered.
Tang Rou’s face was pale. She held Song Ci’s arm and helplessly said, “Dad, mom, he is talking nonsense. I didn’t...”
“I believe you.” Song Ci hugged Tang Rou in her arms.
“I also believe my daughter. No one knows a daughter better than her father. I clearly know my daughter. She will never be the kind of person Hu Wen said.” Tang Wenyan gritted his teeth and said with a livid face.
“Don’t be angry, Manager Tang. Today’s children have their own ideas. They never tell their parents what they are doing,” Hu Jin said in a strange way.
“General Manager Hu, what do you mean by that?” Tang Wenyan clenched his fist.
“I mean, Manager Tang is not very successful in educating children!”
“Bullsh*t...” Tang Wenyan shivered in anger and subconsciously raised his fist.
“Manager Tang, this is Purple Bamboo Club. Don’t you want to go out alive?” Hu Jin sneered.
Tang Wenyan put down his hand. Although this was his first time to come into the Purple Bamboo Club, he had already known the rules here, which were familiar to everyone.
No one dared to make trouble in Purple Bamboo Club. Once somebody had made, but his ending was miserable.
“Manager Tang, I think you should go back to persuade your daughter. After all, she is still young. Even if she doesn’t care about herself, she should care about her parents’ reputation, isn’t it?”
“Shut up.” Tang Wenyan shouted angrily.
“Fine... I’ll shut up, but I have to say that as the general manager, I have an obligatory responsibility for the reputation of our Qiankun Group. I don’t think you two are fit for the company anymore.”
Tang Wenyan and Song Ci were beyond indignation.
“You two act in collusion with each other and there will be a judgment. Besides, you can whistle for driving us out of the company. I’ll report to Chairman Zheng.”
“Report to Chairman Zheng?” Hu Jin snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Guess who Chairmen Zheng will believe more.”
