594: Chapter 595 Butcher 594: Chapter 595 Butcher A moment ago, everyone in the room had been surprised and deeply envious of Xu Ming for striking up a conversation with the exceptional Mu Shanshan.
Now, after seeing Mu Shanshan’s attitude, they all fell silent in the wake of such strong contrast.
Xu Ming had not expected Mu Shanshan to show him no respect in front of so many people; he stood there, dumbfounded, unsure of how to end the scene.
Mu Shanshan couldn’t be bothered to pay Xu Ming any more attention and walked around him to Lin Fei’s side.
Although Lin Fei was surprised to see Mu Shanshan, he managed to keep up a normal appearance and greeted her politely, “Good to see you, Director Mu.”
Mu Shanshan nodded and leaned close to Lin Fei.
The scene left everyone present with their jaws agape.
For a hotel’s beautiful general manager to make such a flirtatious gesture toward a hotel security guard, everyone in the room with half a brain could figure out that Lin Fei had to be more than he seemed.
Observing the shift in everyone’s attitude, Mu Shanshan whispered in Lin Fei’s ear, “Did I give you enough face?”
Getting her implication, Lin Fei nodded emphatically.
Had it not been for the crowd, he would have embraced her and given her a fierce kiss.
“Then you’ll have to find an opportunity to properly thank me,” she said, straightening up.
She looked around and announced, “I heard our company’s Director Luo is here attending a reunion, so I came to see.
Tonight, all your expenses are on the house; I hope you all enjoy yourselves.”
After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, Lin Fei was the first to start clapping and thanking Director Mu, with everyone else soon joining in.
“I won’t disturb your meal any further,” said Mu Shanshan, ready to leave.
When she reached Xu Ming, she purposely paused, “What I said just now, about waiving the bill—it does not include you.”
With that, Mu Shanshan left gracefully, leaving Xu Ming standing there with alternating shades of red and white on his face, livid with anger.
The fat man, seeing Xu Ming suffer such humiliation, felt extremely satisfied and downed his drink in a couple of gulps.
Xu Ming took a while to return to his seat, his face dark, without uttering a word.
Xu Ming had just made a fool of himself in front of Mu Shanshan, whereas Lin Fei, on the other hand, seemed to have an unclear flirtation with her.
The comparison between the two was clear at a glance.
Many shifted the topic to Lin Fei, starting to speculate about his true identity.
Seeing everyone who had been flattering him now focusing on Lin Fei, Xu Ming was furious, his face covered in dark clouds, though he was still holding back from exploding.
One of Xu Ming’s lackeys, noticing this, quickly tried to defuse the awkward atmosphere, “Let’s eat, everyone.
Just eat, like nothing happened.”
Hearing this, most decided to give Xu Ming face and stopped discussing the incident, quietly eating their meals and pretending to forget what had just occurred; after all, even if Xu Ming was snubbed by Mu Shanshan, they still couldn’t afford to offend him.
But the fat man wasn’t buying it and planned to take full advantage of Xu Ming’s current embarrassment to mock him mercilessly, “What do you mean ‘act like nothing happened’?
I saw it very clearly.
Didn’t Xu Ming just go and actively hit on Director Mu?
Failed to act cool and lost face instead, and you’re pretending not to know anything?
“Fatso, don’t speak so offensively,” countered Xu Ming’s lackey, immediately standing up to defend Li Guodong.
“I’m speaking offensively?
Look at yourself, kowtowing like a servant.
You didn’t find Xu Ming’s words offensive just now.
