"Sales manager for Hongsheng Foreign Trade Company in C City. Am I right?"
Yun Zijin opened an encyclopedia app on her phone and showed the page to Li Wenhai.
"So he’s from Hongsheng Company. Our hotel actually has a partnership with them."
"Perfect. You can tell their boss his employees need to clean up their act."
"Understood. I’ll get right on it."
Manager Liu gave a slight bow. He understood the hidden meaning in Lu Yunque’s words: if Hongsheng Company couldn’t clean up its act, their partnership was over.
Li Wenhai was starting to realize something was off. Manager Liu was the manager of the Jinsheng Hotel, after all. Why was he being so respectful to Lu Yunque?
"Manager Liu, what’s the meaning of this?"
Li Wenhai took a step forward, but Zero One blocked his path.
"Apologize!"
They didn’t care what company Li Wenhai belonged to. If he didn’t apologize today, he wouldn’t be walking out of this restaurant.
Li Wenhai was still reeling from the implications of Lu Yunque’s identity. Hearing Zero One, he instinctively wanted to argue back.
But the moment he met Zero One’s dark, profound gaze, the words died in his throat.
To save his own skin, Li Wenhai finally decided to apologize.
"S-Sorry..." His voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. If it weren’t for Yun Zijin’s exceptional hearing, she wouldn’t have heard him at all.
"Hm? What was that? I can’t hear you."
Yun Zijin cupped a hand to her ear as if she were genuinely trying to listen, but her words made Li Wenhai’s face turn pale and then livid.
"I said, I’m sorry! Can you hear me now?!"
"Hmm, nice and loud. But I don’t accept your apology."
"You! You stinking..."
Li Wenhai, who was used to insulting women, was about to call her a "stinking bitch," but one look at the dark glares from Zero One and the others made him swallow the words.
"Don’t disturb the young lady’s meal."
Before leading Zero Two and the others back to their seats, Zero One issued a curt warning to Li Wenhai.
Li Wenhai and his two friends didn’t dare to make a peep.
"If you gentlemen have no further business, please leave Jinsheng on your own. Your behavior has disrupted the normal operation of the restaurant."
Manager Liu’s order to leave was politely phrased, but everyone who heard it understood the underlying message.
Only then did Li Wenhai’s expression truly change. "Manager Liu, I’m a VIP at the Jinsheng Hotel! Is this how you treat your guests?"
He was trying to take the moral high ground to make Manager Liu retract his statement.
"Well, Mr. Lu is my boss. And as you know, Manager Li, I’m just an employee."
"One working stiff shouldn’t make things hard for another, right?"
When Manager Liu said this, the expression on everyone present changed.
Mr. Lu!
His surname is Lu!
The Lu Group!
"You... Lu Yunque... Mr. Lu?"
Li Wenhai was overcome with a terrible premonition.
"There’s no need to call me Mr. Lu while I’m on vacation."
Although Lu Yunque didn’t answer directly, his lack of denial was a tacit admission.
"Uh... that was all a misunderstanding. We..."
"You’re noisy."
’This Li Wenhai is as persistent as a cockroach,’ Yun Zijin thought. ’We’ve made our disgust perfectly clear, but he still refuses to leave.’
"Miss Yun, please wait a moment. I’ll take care of this immediately!"
Manager Liu had been keeping a close eye on Lu Yunque. The moment he saw Lu Yunque’s brow furrow at Yun Zijin’s single complaint, he knew instantly how to get into his boss’s good graces.
After reassuring Yun Zijin, Manager Liu grabbed his walkie-talkie. "Team to the 8th-floor restaurant!"
