Mr. Xu only felt a flash of gold before his eyes.

The next moment, he saw the card in Ye Ningwan's hand and his gaze froze.

He snatched the gold card from Ye Ningwan's hand and looked at it repeatedly, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Perhaps because his expression changed so drastically, Zhang Yuan, who had just been nestled in President Xu's arms, also came over to stare at the gold card. However, after looking at it for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, since there was nothing on it except for a number.

Zhang Yuan asked President Xu in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Mr. Xu, what is this?"

Mr. Xu ignored her and looked at Ye Ningwan with a look of fear and trepidation, his voice trembling slightly.

"You... how do you have this card? This is a VVVVIP card, only available to the top tier of Huazheng Food Group. How could you possibly have one?"

This is a gold card that even he doesn't have!

Ye Ningwan gave a cold laugh.

"How I got involved is none of your business. You just need to make sure this card is real!"

Zhang Yuan glanced warily at Ye Ningwan, then grabbed President Xu's arm and asked nervously.

"Mr. Xu, could this card be fake?"

She naturally hoped the card was fake; otherwise, if she offended someone she shouldn't have, even the man in front of her might not be able to protect her.

Mr. Xu was also somewhat hesitant.

He lowered his voice and hesitated before speaking.

"Judging from the workmanship and materials, it should be genuine."

But he was still very skeptical.

"But I remember that everyone who could get this card had the surname Zhang. At the time, apart from the chairman keeping one for himself, the rest were given to the elders of the Zhang family. How did it end up in her hands?"

After saying these words, Mr. Xu silently completed the rest of the answer in his mind.

After all, the Zhang family is a well-known family in the entire J province. The elders of the Zhang family have seen everything in their lives, so naturally they wouldn't take a gold card presented by their juniors seriously. It's possible that they would use it as a favor or a gift.

However, those who would give such a gift as a favor are usually beloved juniors, whose status is naturally not low, and who are people you can't afford to offend.

Mr. Xu leaned close to Zhang Yuan's ear, looked at Ye Ningwan, and asked in a low voice.

Do you know her last name?

Zhang Yuan wasn't quite sure what the woman in front of her was, only that she was a woman brought by Pei Fengzhi and that she had a very close relationship with Pei Fengzhi.

Could it be...?

As a possibility came to mind, Zhang Yuan's heart pounded wildly.

However, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to say a word. She didn't dare let President Xu know that she knew this woman was brought by Pei Fengzhi.

Just as the two were hesitating and feeling uneasy, Ye Ningwan suddenly asked a question.

"Is Mr. Xu still going to blacklist me?"

Of course, Mr. Xu wouldn't dare offend a woman holding a gold card at this time. He immediately put on a fawning smile and bowed slightly to Ye Ningwan, saying with a smile.

"Please don't be angry. I was just joking with you, just a little joke."

Ye Ningwan gave a cold laugh that neither confirmed nor denied.

"Can I leave now? Or does Mr. Xu want to teach me some kind of lesson?"

Hearing Ye Ningwan's sarcastic words, President Xu dared not say anything more and immediately smiled and said.

"I'll escort you to your private room. In a little while, I'll have the head chef bring you some of his signature dishes, which aren't on the menu and are specially prepared for guests of your caliber."

Ye Ningwan knew that these signature dishes were usually reserved for top food critics or powerful figures. They were truly meticulously prepared and far superior to the dishes on the menu.

She naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation."

Mr. Xu made a gesture of invitation, and then, remembering that he was still holding Ye Ningwan's gold card, he respectfully handed the gold card back with both hands.

"Here's your card, please take it."

At this moment, Mr. Xu really looked just like a dog.

Ye Ningwan gently curled the corners of her lips and reached out to take her card from President Xu's hand.

But Mr. Xu suddenly frowned, staring intently at the gold card number for a full half minute before withdrawing his hand, taking a few steps back, and his expression changed drastically.

"Wait a minute, something's not right."

Mr. Xu glanced at Ye Ningwan warily and frowned, but because his doubts remained unresolved, he maintained a polite demeanor on the surface.

"Wait a moment, let me check it for you."

Before Ye Ningwan could say anything, President Xu had already taken out his phone and taken a picture of the gold card number.

I don't know what we said to each other, but a few minutes later, a phone call came in.

Mr. Xu answered the call.

He seemed very nervous, so much so that he didn't even realize he had accidentally turned on the loudspeaker.

All I could hear was the voice of a young man on a tablet coming from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Xu, I've checked the system for you. This gold card number belongs to the chairman. May I ask what's the matter?"

Mr. Xu looked somewhat dazed. He was panting heavily, and it took him a while to speak to his secretary on the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, I'm hanging up."

Snap.

Mr. Xu forcefully hung up the call, raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared coldly at Ye Ningwan, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh off her.

"You bitch, you actually tried to fool me with a fake card!"

The thought of how he had been bowing and scraping to Ye Ningwan like a dog made President Xu so angry he felt like he was about to explode. He had never been so humiliated!
