Inside the hall, the performances became more and more exciting with each round.
The dancers on stage came down to toast everyone after their performance. Each of them was trained to toast and urge others to drink. Everyone was having a good time and completely forgot about the 99 and 128 set meals they had ordered at the beginning. They started ordering again.
The chefs at Linglong Club, Chen Zhe, were replaced by a new batch. Each of these chefs has their own signature dish, and each dish has a very poetic name that sounds exceptionally high-end.
Li Tianci had already changed his clothes in their room.
Similarly, they didn't have to change their clothes themselves; the beautiful maids helped them throughout the process.
Their package allows them to stay all day, during which all massage services are free, and they can change as many masseuses as they like each night, with separate music programs for them to enjoy in the room.
Aside from going to the toilet, they basically don't have to do anything themselves.
Someone feeds you when you eat, and someone massages your shoulders when you're tired.
This is not much different from the princes of ancient times.
Such thoughtful and meticulous service made them feel that the package wasn't so expensive after all.
But they don't have time to enjoy this service right now; many of them came in because of the district chief.
After changing my clothes, I hurried downstairs.
At this moment, a large number of people had gathered around the district chief's table to offer toasts.
These people aren't stupid; they won't start by talking business or asking for projects.
It was about drinking with District Chief Guan and introducing myself, hoping to make a good impression on him.
Shen Xingang's face darkened even more upon seeing this scene. These people actually ignored his warnings; he had clearly told them not to come over.
But he couldn't get angry right now, since he was there too.
I saw Chen Zhe drinking with District Chief Guan next to me.
Shen Xingang said, "Manager Chen, didn't you just say Hu Ling was here? You can call her down now."
Chen Zhe smiled slightly, put down his wine glass, and said, "President Chen, as I said, Sister Hu is not feeling well and cannot come out to meet everyone."
Shen Xingang sneered; "Is there no other way, or is it that you really can't get out?"
"Does President Shen not trust me?"
"If you want me to believe you, you have to provide evidence. Let her come out and meet us, and then I will naturally believe you."
After saying that, he turned to look at District Chief Guan; “District Chief Guan, you said Hu Ling called you, but we did receive news that Hu Ling is dead. You've probably been fooled by this kid, haven't you?”
District Chief Guan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Zhe. He had also heard about Hu Ling's situation and was actually a little suspicious himself.
"Manager Chen, since President Shen has doubts, why don't you have President Hu come out and meet with us? That way, everyone will feel at ease."
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, I'll call Sister Hu and ask."
In front of them, Chen Zhe made a phone call.
Many people looked at him when he made the phone call.
One minute later.
He hung up the phone.
"Sister Hu's health condition isn't really suitable for her to appear in front of everyone, but she said we can go upstairs to see her. Do you want to go?"
"Go! Of course I'll go!"
Shen Xingang did not hesitate at all.
And so, Chen Zhe led the group upstairs.
They went up to the 5th floor and walked to a room far inside. When they stood at the door, Chen Zhe knocked.
"Sister Hu, I've brought them over."
"Come in!"
Hu Ling's voice could actually be heard coming from inside.
Upon hearing this sound, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Yang Yun nervously grabbed Chen Zhe's hand again. Chen Zhe could feel that her palms were a little sweaty. She patted the back of his hand to reassure him.
Shen Xingang and Ninth Master exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disbelief.
Chen Zhe pushed open the door and led everyone inside.
Inside the room stood a huge screen, slightly transparent, through which one could vaguely see a person sitting behind it.
Shen Xingang wanted to go over and take a closer look.
But Chen Zhe grabbed her arm.
"Mr. Shen, Sister Hu is injured and looks a bit haggard. We can just stand here."
Shen Xingang squinted at him.
"Are you kidding me? How can I be sure the person on the other end is Hu Ling? I have to see clearly!"
Breaking free from Chen Zhe's grasp, Shen Xingang was about to go over.
Just then, a cold shout came from behind the screen: "President Shen, are you in such a hurry to see if I'm dead or not?"
Hearing this cold tone, Shen Xingang stopped in his tracks.
"Hu Ling, is it really you?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Shen? You're so surprised I'm not dead? Could it be that you were the one who hit me with the car?"
Upon hearing Hu Ling mention the car accident, Shen Xingang's expression changed, then he smiled and said, "How could that be? You're overthinking it. I'm just concerned about your safety because of our long-standing friendship."
"Hehe, thank you so much. Although I didn't die, my body is almost completely ruined. I bet you'd be shocked if you saw my face now."
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"When I fell into the sea, I was washed ashore and slammed onto the rocks, scraping half of my face. Haha, it's impossible for you to show your face to people now."
Shen Xingang was still somewhat skeptical.
“It’s okay, I’m not afraid. We’re so familiar with each other. If you’re really badly injured, I can recommend a great plastic surgeon to you.”
As he spoke, he was about to go over again.
At this moment, Hu Ling said again, "President Shen, thank you for your kindness. I also thank you on behalf of Xiao Shan and Huang Feng."
Upon hearing the names Xiaoshan and Huangfeng.
Shen Xingang was a little nervous.
"District Chief Guan, there's something I'd like to say about how I got into the car accident. You're all here today, and I'd like you to help me get justice."
Upon hearing this...
Shen Xingang finally lost his composure. He was certain that the person inside was Hu Ling, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned Huang Feng and Xiao Shan.
He interrupted Hu Ling, saying, "Since Ms. Hu is not feeling well, I think it's best not to disturb her too much. District Chief Guan, let's let Ms. Hu rest and recover. Let's go downstairs and continue our drinks."
"Well... okay, Mr. Hu, let's talk about it when you're feeling better. There's no rush."
District Chief Guan followed Shen Xingang out.
He wasn't stupid; he could roughly guess that Shen Xingang was behind it. He didn't want to get involved in this mess. He couldn't afford to offend either Hu Ling or Shen Xingang, and he didn't want to get involved in their feud.
That's why I agreed with Shen Xingang's words.
Chen Zhe asked Yang Yun to see them off. After they all left, Chen Zhe went over and closed the door.
At this moment, "Hu Ling" from behind the screen also came out.
This person is not Hu Ling, but clearly Lin Meiyu.
Lin Meiyu patted her ample chest.
"I was really scared just now. I felt like he was going to come at me any second."
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "He wouldn't dare. As long as you mention Xiao Shan and Huang Feng, he will be hesitant to act rashly. He has no reason to completely break ties with you now."
"You're right."
Lin Meiyu smiled at him and looked at Xing Tong behind the screen.
Hu Ling's voice just now was transformed through Xing Tong.
"How did you come up with this idea? To scare them away using AI's voice?"
"Hehe, this is something I thought about for a long time. It was a risky move. They were guilty and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Luckily, I kept Sister Hu's voice. We finally got through this hurdle."
Lin Meiyu nodded.
"Thanks to you, otherwise it would have been incredibly difficult for Linglong Club to reopen this time."
"I should say it's all thanks to Sister Hu. Without Sister Hu's previous deterrent power, none of my plans would have worked."
Lin Meiyu felt a little sad when she talked about Hu Ling.
She sighed softly.
"I wonder if Hu Ling is really still alive. Sigh, if only she were still alive, we wouldn't have to work so hard."
"I hope she'll be blessed with good fortune."
"Hmm, by the way, aren't you going to tell Yang Yun about what just happened?"
Chen Zhe did not mention this plan to anyone except Lin Meiyu.
Chen Zhe shook his head slightly; "This matter cannot be told to too many people. It's enough for you and me to know. If too many people know, it will be dangerous."
"That's true... then I'll do as you say."
...
After seeing them downstairs, Yang Yun hurriedly ran back upstairs.
I just happened to see Chen Zhe closing the door.
She rushed over and asked anxiously, "Chen Zhe, why didn't you tell me that Sister Hu was alive?"
"Shh, could you please keep your voice down? Sister Hu is resting."
Yang Yun lowered her voice, but she was still very agitated. "You bastard, you lied to me so badly! Sister Hu was with you, but you didn't tell us how she was. Was she really badly injured? You said she was disfigured, is that true?"
"Sigh, it's true. Sister Hu told me not to tell you because she was afraid you'd worry."
Chen Zhe could lie without hesitation, and his expression was quite sorrowful.
“We’re even more worried if she doesn’t tell us. Can I go in and see her now? I want to talk to her.”
"Let's do it another day. It's so busy downstairs right now, and Sister Hu isn't feeling well. I'll arrange for you to meet another day."
Yang Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded; "Okay then, but you have to promise me."
"I already said I agreed, why don't you believe me?"
"Who told you to keep lying to me? Nobody would believe a word you say!"
"Alright, alright, I won't lie to you next time, okay?"
He supported her and pushed her back to urge her to leave.
As Chen Zhe touched her back, she recalled his lewd behavior towards her before.
Yang Yun blushed; "Don't touch me like that, you're always taking advantage of me, I'll really get angry!"
Chen Zhe was speechless.
It seems that in Yang Yun's mind, he has been completely defined as a pervert, and even a normal action will make her overthink.
The two went downstairs.
Only then did they realize that Shen Xingang and Ninth Master had already left.
The district chief and his colleagues also seemed to be saying goodbye.
At this moment, Chen Zhe pulled District Chief Guan aside and whispered, "District Chief Guan, there's something Sister Hu would like to ask you for a favor."
The district chief was taken aback.
"What's up?"
Chen Zhe whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, the district chief hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, I can help, but you should also tell Mr. Hu that I won't interfere too much."
Chen Zhe nodded.
"Thank you, District Chief Guan."
"You're welcome. By the way, you really need to make this cultural club project look beautiful, you know what I mean?"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded.
"certainly."
