Although the crowd did not know Qi Ke, they were still shocked by the powerful aura she exuded and spontaneously made way for her.
Qi Ke walked quickly towards Long Yi, her black evening dress revealing her fair skin, combining elegance and sexiness.
A pair of cold and beautiful eyes swept across, and the young women in the venue lowered their heads, feeling as ashamed as the ugly duckling meeting the white swan.
With the help of high heels, Qi Ke's height reached 1.8 meters. Standing next to Gao Qihang, she was even half a head taller than him, and her aura was overwhelming in all aspects.
"Gao Qihang, why are you jumping around here when you're not staying in Yandu?"
"I...I..." Gao Qihang stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything. The arrogant look he had before was gone.
Maybe he could put on airs in front of other second-generation rich kids, but the other party was Qi Ke, the eldest daughter of the Qi family. He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had a hundred guts.
In Yandu, the Qi family is a first-rate family, and the head of the family, Qi Dangguo, is a founding hero who can directly communicate with the country. His Gao family is just a third-rate family in Yandu, and the status of the two is very different.
Qi Ke gave Gao Qihang a disgusted look and left him aside. He turned to Long Yi and said respectfully:
"Mr. Long, this farce today is entirely my fault. I apologize to you on behalf of the Qi family."
She felt annoyed. She had finally invited Long Yi to attend the meeting last night, but today such a farce happened on the Qi family's territory. She hoped that Long Yi would not blame her.
When Manager Wang saw Qi Ke, he was so scared that his legs started shaking. From what Qi Ke said, he realized that this guy was actually invited by the eldest lady herself?
He forced a smile and said anxiously, "Miss, you are so tired from traveling so far. Why did you come down here in person instead of resting upstairs? I won't bother you with such a small matter."
"A small matter?" Qi Ke said angrily, "Anything involving Mr. Long is not a small matter to me."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She snorted coldly, "Manager Wang, I'm not worthy of your calling me Miss. I was about to treat Mr. Long as a guest of honor, but you, if I had been a step later, would have thrown him out!"
Manager Wang's forehead was already covered in sweat, and he couldn't help but explain, "Miss, I'm negligent. If I had known that Mr. Long was your distinguished guest, I would have definitely welcomed him upstairs with great respect.
But I didn't know beforehand that Mr. Long had a minor altercation with Colonel Gao, which led to this misunderstanding."
The more Qi Ke listened, the angrier he became, and the frost on his face seemed to be scraped off.
She turned around and bowed slightly to Long Yi, apologetically saying, "Mr. Long, I'm late. How do you think we can handle this matter?"
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Long Yi said calmly, without any hint of blame in his tone.
Qi Ke breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, fortunately no big mistake was made.
What kind of existence is Long Yi? Last night's skill of picking flowers and leaves with flying hands and penetrating into the wood left a deep impression on Qi Ke. Even his grandfather relied on Long Yi to treat his illness.
He was actually humiliated in public by a junior manager at the venue, who even threatened to throw him out. If Long Yi had just stormed out in anger, then Grandpa's illness would have been incurable.
Seeing that Qi Ke was still cautious, Long Yi comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Qi. Why would I care about the words of a bunch of clowns?"
He glanced around with a cold gaze, finally landing on Manager Wang, and said slowly: "But I think the management of this Xiangshan Lay Buddhist venue needs to be changed.
"Looking down on others is not a good quality. I've told you more than once that I was invited here, but he didn't even bother to ask at the reception desk. He just wanted to kick me out based on Gao Qihang's few words."
Manager Wang felt as if his heart had sunk into an ice cellar when he heard this. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Mr. Long...Mr. Long, please give me a chance to correct my mistakes." Manager Wang pleaded humbly.
Qi Ke said coldly: "No need to correct yourself. I am officially firing you on behalf of the Qi family. Go to the personnel department later to handle the resignation procedures."
Manager Wang nodded dejectedly. Once he was fired by the Qi family, no company would dare to hire him in the future, and his livelihood would be in jeopardy.
Gao Qihang looked at Manager Wang's dejected back, his heart pounding, and he secretly prayed that Qi Ke would not vent his anger on him.
This is Qi Ke, the proud daughter of Yandu and the eldest daughter of the third generation of the Qi family. Even her father has to greet her with a smile when he sees Qi Ke. He doesn't even have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with her.
Just as he was about to apologize, Qi Ke spoke first: "You don't have to tell me, I won't embarrass you."
Gao Qihang breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could even begin to rejoice, Qi Ke added, "Someone will come and take care of you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in military uniform with a resolute face walked out of the crowd, exuding an aura of dominance.
It turned out to be Liao Jianying, the head of the Beijing Military Region.
The moment Gao Qihang saw Liao Jianying, he stood up straight and saluted with a standard military salute.
"Hello, Commander Liao! Colonel Gao Qihang of the 3rd Battalion of the Yandu Northwest Wolves is here to say hello!"
He was delighted, thinking that Commander Liao must have come to help him out. After all, his father and Commander Liao had some friendship.
Only you, Long Yi, have helpers, and my Gao Qihang’s helpers are no worse than yours!
Unexpectedly, Liao Jianying just glanced at him coldly, and the next second he walked straight towards Long Yi and said with concern:
"Brother Long, this happened because of my negligence. As your elder brother, I want to apologize to you first."
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked. The huge venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
The head of the Beijing Military Region is actually on good terms with Long Yi. What is going on in this world?
It turned out to be just as Long Yi said, he received invitations from two big bosses at the same time. It was simply out of this world. Looking at the young generation in the entire capital, who had such an honor?
Long Yi stepped forward and patted Liao Jianying on the shoulder, saying warmly, "Brother Liao, that's not true. This matter has nothing to do with you. I haven't seen you for a long time and you look much stronger now."
Liao Jianying said happily without any airs, "That's all thanks to Brother Long's miraculous healing last time. Otherwise, I would be a useless person lying in bed now."
Gao Qihang looked at the two of them talking and laughing, and felt his throat become hoarse. He gritted his teeth and explained:
"Commander Liao, there was just a misunderstanding between Mr. Long and me..."
Before he could finish his words, Liao Jianying interrupted him impatiently: "Misunderstanding? Don't I know your personality? Although I'm in the capital, I will definitely write a few letters to Yandu later. You, a senior colonel, are too sloppy. You can't stand up to scrutiny."
Gao Qihang clenched his fists, unable to suppress the rage in his heart any longer. He said hysterically, "Why are you blaming me for everything? It was clearly this brat who stole my beloved woman first!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Xue grabbed Long Yi's hand and said sternly, "Don't make things worse for yourself. I just like Brother Yi one-sidedly."
