Chapter 295 Too Bad a Reputation
Shen Yan, who was opposite her, understood her implication and couldn't help but smile.
Yu Zhan had just told them about this, and now they've found the person so quickly.
He spoke to Yu Zhan, who then looked at Leng Xichen, who nodded.
Through the battle, Shen Yan and Leng Xichen got to know each other, while Lu Min, who was drinking alone nearby, sneered.
"Looks like someone's here to pay the bill, then we won't be polite tonight."
Lu Min picked up his phone and called Yuan Chenzhi, the brother of Yuan Chenxi, the receptionist.
Not long after, the door to private room 308 was pushed open, and a waiter pushed in a small cart of drinks.
Liu Guojun followed behind him.
As soon as they entered, Shen Yan and Lu Min closed the door behind them.
"All the drinks Mr. Liu ordered have been served." The waiter placed the finest tequila and brandy on the table and then left the private room.
Liu Guojun was taken aback and his gaze fell on Leng Xichen.
The scar on his face was hard to forget, and Liu Guojun recognized him at a glance.
The industry is buzzing about this person. Just a few days ago, he went to Leng Xichen's company to discuss a collaboration. He went several times before finally getting an appointment with him.
The silence of Yu Zhan beside him made him swallow hard.
"Sorry, I came to the wrong room..." Liu Guojun bowed and backed away repeatedly, saying, "The drinks are on me today! Please enjoy yourselves!"
He turned to leave, only to see Shen Yan leaning against the door.
Shen Yan put his hands in his pockets, frowned, and looked at him. "Since you're already here, Mr. Liu, won't you have a couple of drinks before you leave?"
Lu Min smiled, put his arm around his shoulder, led him to the table, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and made him sit in the main seat.
Beads of sweat beaded on Liu Guojun's forehead, his fingers unconsciously clenched together, his mind racing as he tried to figure out if he had offended these men somehow.
And these men happen to be top figures in the industry; any one of them is not to be trifled with, and he can't afford to offend any of them.
"Mr. Liu, you're eating really well!" Lu Min sat down next to him, put his hand on the back of the chair behind him, and patted his bouncy belly.
"..." Liu Guojun's lips twitched. "President Lu is joking..."
"Who's joking with you? Do we look like the kind of people who would joke around?" Yu Zhan scoffed.
Liu Guojun, in a fit of desperation, said, "I don't know where I have offended you all. I apologize to you all. Today, it was all a misunderstanding!"
“There is no misunderstanding.” Leng Xi said in a deep, calm voice.
Liu Guojun and Leng Xichen were separated by a table, but even at that distance, Liu Guojun could clearly feel the man's icy aura.
"Mr. Leng, did I do something wrong?"
Liu Guojun had finally managed to get a project from him, but he had privately cursed Leng Xichen quite a bit.
He's a quiet type, too lazy to even speak.
Liu Guojun handed him several proposals, and any that were unsuitable were thrown directly into the shredder without hesitation, without even Liu Guojun opening his eyes to look at them.
But surely you don't hold a grudge like that?
"When will Yuan Chenxi's payment be settled?" Leng Xichen asked directly.
"So that's what it is..." His tense nerves relaxed for a moment, then tensed up again.
"Mr. Leng, I really have no other choice. I'm facing a severe cash flow problem. Could you perhaps grant me a few more days?" he continued. "Mr. Leng, as you know, that project in the west of the city is extremely expensive, and I simply can't come up with that much money all at once..."
Leng Xi said in a cold voice, "Since President Liu is so dishonest, we need to re-evaluate the project in the west of the city. Otherwise, things could get complicated."
"..." Liu Guojun was speechless, tentatively observing the expressions of the others.
Several men stood around him, silent and expressionless.
The air he inhaled seemed to carry knives, cutting into his flesh and causing him excruciating pain.
He originally wanted to tease Yuan Chenxi...
Leng Xichen tilted his head slightly, openly observing Liu Guojun's expression, as if he could see through Liu Guojun's thoughts at a glance.
Liu Guojun swallowed hard, his throat dry, and shakily picked up his phone to transfer the remaining hundreds of thousands of yuan into Yuan Chenxi's account.
He spread his phone out on the table and showed it to them.
Leng Xichen glanced at Yu Zhan and Shen Yan.
Shen Yan glanced at his phone and nodded.
The payment has arrived.
Lu Min smiled and released his hand from the back of the chair. "Mr. Liu, thank you for your hospitality!"
Liu Guojun gave an awkward laugh, realizing that he probably wouldn't be able to get back the good wine he had just received.
Liu Guojun walked out of room 308, his face pale and his legs still trembling. He was relieved that he only owed money and that everything would be fine after he paid it off.
If he really offends someone he shouldn't, he'll probably be the next one to go bankrupt in the capital.
He absentmindedly wiped his sweat, muttering to himself, "Just who is Yuan Chenxi? Why are so many men backing her up?"
The men in the private room looked at the table full of fine wines, and Lu Min couldn't resist starting to pick one.
"Can you even drink all of that? Your wine cellar is already full," Yu Zhan teased.
"There's nothing I can do. Recently, stray cats have been stealing my wine, and all the wine in the house has been stolen," Lu Min said with a forced smile.
Shen Yan sat to the side, poured Leng Xichen a glass, and said to Lu Min, "This stray cat is a bit big."
"Yes, it's quite big." He shook his head, helpless.

"Wow!" Yuan Chenxi almost jumped up. "Who did this?! The money's in!"
She happily hugged Wei Qianqian, who was playing ball next to her.
Yu sat on the sofa and sneered.
She told them what had just happened.
Wei Qianqian burst into laughter, "Liu Guojun has such a lecherous face, what kind of expression will he have when he goes into a private room with a group of men?"
"Your husband is really reliable." Yuan Chenxi looked at the text message; she had finally gotten the money she had been trying to collect for so long.
Suddenly, she asked nervously, "Your husband won't get violent again, will he?"
"..." Luo Shu frowned.
Is Yu Zhan's reputation really that bad?
“No, with several grown men surrounding him, he would have peed his pants in fear long ago. Besides, it seems Yu Zhan didn’t exert much effort. According to Shen Yan, Liu Guojun was scared by Leng Xichen.” Yu Yu looked at his phone and sent a message to Shen Yan.
Don't drink too much.
Shen Yan: [Don't worry, brother won't get drunk.]
"Who is Leng Xichen?" Yuan Chenxi asked curiously.
I seem to have heard them talking about this person a lot lately, but I haven't run into him yet. If I did, I'm sure I would recognize him at a glance.
I heard he has a scar on his face that's incredibly ugly, making it hard not to notice him.
I just haven't run into it yet.
"How about we go upstairs and say hello?" Luo Shu suggested.
"Forget it, I'll just top up his membership with more money for drinks to be honest with him. Women shouldn't be bothered by men. If a woman gets involved with a man, her career will suffer. Making money is the priority."
Yuan Chenxi picked up the cue stick, sharpened it, aimed at the ball on the pool table, and sank it in one shot.
Wei Qianqian pursed her lips; she didn't want to go up either.
