Slap!
Slap!
Before the security guards could finish speaking, Weng Xiaoxi stepped forward and slapped them twice, angrily saying, "How dare you! Kneel down and apologize to the senior right now."
"Yes, we were wrong." The two security guards immediately knelt down, repeatedly admitting their mistakes, "We were wrong, we're sorry. We didn't recognize Mount Tai and were deceived by bad people, blinded by money."
"Senior, are you satisfied with this? If not, just say the word and I'll deal with them further," Weng Xiaoxi asked politely.
"I'm fine, I'm not a petty person. Handle it as you see fit," Jiang Feng said with a slight smile.
"Alright," Weng Xiaoxi said.
Bang! Bang!
Weng Xiaoxi kicked each of them a few more times, then said, "From now on, you are no longer employees here. Get out of my sight, or I'll beat you to death."
"Miss, please give us another chance. We won't dare to do it again, really, we won't. Please don't fire us, it's hard for us to find another job," the two security guards begged, collapsing to the ground.
"Hmph, you should have thought of that earlier. You deserve this. I've made myself clear, if you don't leave now, I won't be polite," Weng Xiaoxi said mercilessly.
Seeing no hope, the two security guards left in tears.
"I'm really sorry, senior. This is my brother's shop, I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. I apologize on his behalf," Weng Xiaoxi apologized again, still polite and humble.
"So it's your brother, Weng Dongtai, who owns this place. Impressive, truly impressive," Jiang Feng said, enlightened.
No wonder everyone called Weng Xiaoxi "Miss," it turned out to be the Weng family's business.
"If you need anything, just let us know. We'll do our best to meet your needs," Weng Xiaoxi said.
"Alright, I'll head to the gathering now. We'll chat more if there's a chance," Jiang Feng said.
"Please, senior," Weng Xiaoxi personally escorted Jiang Feng into the hall.
At this moment, Jiang Yang was completely stunned. Zhu Bajie had arranged for him to be here specifically to see Jiang Feng make a fool of himself, to give him a hard time. But unexpectedly, they had provoked the Weng family's Miss, who immediately disciplined the security guards and gave Jiang Feng plenty of face.
Instead of embarrassing Jiang Feng, they ended up boosting his reputation.
They had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it, backfiring spectacularly.
Jiang Feng coldly glanced at Jiang Yang, who, like a mouse seeing a cat, lowered his head and scurried away without even daring to greet him.
"Despicable scoundrel," Cheng Zhenjie cursed.
"It seems today won't be peaceful. Zhu Bajie won't give up easily; there might be more schemes waiting for us. Even having a peaceful meal will be difficult," Jiang Feng said calmly.
"We're not afraid of them. We'll play along till the end," Cheng Zhenjie said with a smirk.
"Of course. If they insist on causing trouble, I won't hesitate to teach them a lesson. My patience has its limits," Jiang Feng said coldly, a glint of frost in his eyes.
"Right, let's take them down," Cheng Zhenjie said, punching the air. "But boss, you're really impressive. Even the owner here knows you and gives you so much face. Those two security guards must be regretting it to death."
"Hehe, everyone's path in life is their own to walk. Whether it's good or bad depends on oneself, no one else," Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Boss, you're absolutely right," Cheng Zhenjie agreed.
Jiang Feng suddenly stared at Cheng Zhenjie, who touched his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, it's just strange. Since when did you start calling me boss?" Jiang Feng asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, I thought about it for a long time last night. You're so powerful now, and you've taught me that amazing memory technique. So, I've decided to recognize you as my boss from now on," Cheng Zhenjie said with a grin.
"How tacky, really tacky. You've fallen into this worldly trap too, being so polite," Jiang Feng said.
"Hehe, alright, let's go quickly, or we won't get any good food," Cheng Zhenjie urged, not wanting to dwell on the topic.
Jiang Feng nodded slightly; it was indeed time to go.
Under the guidance of a waiter, Jiang Feng and Cheng Zhenjie arrived at the gathering room.
The room was quite large, enough to accommodate their entire class.
Judging by its size, it was probably the largest and most luxurious private room here. The space was vast, and the luxury was comparable to a palace, with a golden theme exuding nobility everywhere. It must have cost a fortune to book this place.
It was clear that Zhu Bajie had spared no expense for face today, showcasing the Zhu family's considerable wealth.
By this time, all the classmates had already arrived, only Jiang Feng and Cheng Zhenjie were missing.
The originally lively room fell silent upon their arrival, the atmosphere turning inexplicably strange. It was unclear whether it was intentional or out of fear of their arrival.
But one thing was certain: these classmates had all been bought off by Zhu Bajie and were on his side.
Zhu Bajie sat in the main seat, holding Xiao Wanjun in his arms. Seeing Jiang Feng arrive, they stopped their inappropriate actions.
"Oh, Jiang Feng is here. Sorry for not welcoming you sooner. You're a big shot in our class now, single-handedly taking down the Qiangsheng Martial Arts Academy. You're quite the sensation; all the martial arts enthusiasts in the city know your name and want to learn a few moves from you," Zhu Bajie said sarcastically.
Jiang Yang had already told him what happened outside. He was surprised that Jiang Feng knew someone from the Weng family, and that the Weng family's Miss had intervened.
But it didn't matter; Jiang Feng might have just had a chance encounter with the Weng family's Miss, who happened to help him out.
Jiang Feng wouldn't be so lucky next time; the real show was yet to come.
"Really? I didn't know that. Your information is quite up-to-date, knowing everything. Truly worthy of being the class monitor," Jiang Feng said with a mocking smile.
"You're too kind. I just hear some gossip, nothing serious," Zhu Bajie said with a faint smile.
He was playing Tai Chi again, implying that Jiang Feng might not be as impressive as rumored, just exaggerated tales.
"I think so too, just some baseless rumors spread by ill-intentioned people," Jiang Feng said pointedly.
"Hehe, let's not talk about useless things. Why don't we start drinking and eating now? The real test is at the table," Xiao Wanjun said with a coquettish smile, her eyes full of charm.
"Alright, let's listen to my Wanjun. Let's start drinking and eating," Zhu Bajie said, trembling all over from Xiao Wanjun's seductive gaze.
Jiang Feng noticed that Xiao Wanjun's style had changed drastically from before. She had gone from conservative to bold, dressed fashionably and daringly, no different from a showgirl.
Looking at her eyebrows, all the fine hair was gone, with no trace of her youthful innocence left. She was now a woman who had fully indulged in pleasure.
The banquet began quickly, with various delicious dishes being served one after another. The enticing aroma filled the air, tantalizing everyone's senses.
Jiang Feng and Cheng Zhenjie sat down together. Cheng Zhenjie tugged at Jiang Feng's sleeve, reminding him to be careful and not to compete with Zhu Bajie just for face.
Jiang Feng reassured him, saying he knew what he was doing.
"Today, I'm hosting and have the honor of treating everyone to a meal. Please don't mind, and before we start eating, I propose we all have a drink first. How about it?" Zhu Bajie said, looking quite the host.
"Sure, I agree," Jiang Yang was the first to respond.
"Yes, we should have a drink," others echoed.
There was no choice; they had accepted Zhu Bajie's favors and were now eating his food, so they had to play along.
"This wine is an old vintage my father recently acquired. It's been buried underground for twenty years, very rare. Even if you drink a lot, it won't give you a headache, so drink to your heart's content," Zhu Bajie said, pointing to the row of white wine bottles in the middle of the table.
Everyone looked at the white wine, which was fifty-six percent alcohol. My goodness, this was going to be deadly.
Zhu Bajie glanced at Jiang Feng with a sinister smile, filling his own glass. The seemingly crystal-clear wine could be lethal to many.
Wine like poison, drinking too much would be unbearable unless one was a wine immortal who cultivated with alcohol, like those Jiang Feng had seen.
Seeing Zhu Bajie fill his glass, everyone hesitated for a moment but then followed suit, filling their glasses to the brim. It was intimidating just to look at.
Zhu Bajie then took the lead, downing his glass in one go, not leaving a drop.
He even turned the glass upside down to show he had drunk it all.
"Damn, what kind of magic potion has Zhu Bajie given everyone? They drink without hesitation, and a whole glass at that. Don't they know drinking on an empty stomach will knock them out?" Cheng Zhenjie complained quietly.
"These people have all benefited from Zhu Bajie. Now, it's just the two of us who are outsiders, already isolated," Jiang Feng said.
Cheng Zhenjie glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "What a shameless second-generation rich kid, and that Xiao Wanjun, what is she thinking, following someone like him?"
"Who cares about them? Let's just focus on eating. As for drinking, a little won't hurt," Jiang Feng said.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, boss," Cheng Zhenjie said.
After Zhu Bajie downed his glass, everyone else followed suit, drinking their wine.
Jiang Feng and Cheng Zhenjie exchanged a glance, clinked their glasses, and drank as well.
"Hahaha, thank you all for your support. I'm very happy today, so I'll drink another glass to show my gratitude," Zhu Bajie said, pouring himself another glass and downing it.
Everyone applauded, praising Zhu Bajie for being so generous and having a good tolerance for alcohol, calling him a true man worthy of respect.
"This guy can really hold his liquor, drinking two glasses in a row without any sign of discomfort," Cheng Zhenjie said.
"No matter how good his tolerance is, he'll get drunk eventually. If he keeps drinking like this without any restraint, he'll be down soon," Jiang Feng said.
"Hehe, I hope he gets drunk and makes a fool of himself, so everyone can see his true colors," Cheng Zhenjie said gleefully.
"Jiang Feng, we have quite a history. How about we have a drink together?" Zhu Bajie said, raising his glass and targeting Jiang Feng, his face full of malice.
Cheng Zhenjie quickly signaled Jiang Feng not to take the bait.
But Jiang Feng didn't mind, saying, "Sure, let's have a drink."
"Cheers," Zhu Bajie said, clinking his glass with Jiang Feng's from a distance and downing it in one go.
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, not hesitating, and drank his glass as well.
