Mu Feng smiled and said, "I've met Director Lu a few times. The last time we met, he said he wanted to give me a hotel so I'd have a place to stay here."
Upon hearing his words, the people present burst into laughter, practically rolling on the floor.
"Damn it... brother, you're quite the braggart. You're the biggest talker I've ever met!"
"Bro, are you sleepwalking? Even a daydream wouldn't be this wild."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Give me a moment to catch my breath. He's definitely trying to make us laugh ourselves to death."
Even Du Jiaojiao's small face turned pale.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of resentment. She wondered how she hadn't noticed this guy was such a show-off before. If he were truly that capable, why would he be idle all day? However, facing so many people, she couldn't say anything without losing face.
Mu Feng smiled and said, "It seems you don't believe me."
Zhang Meili was already close to tears from laughing. "Why don't you come work at our hotel?"
"We're really short-handed for the position of handing out tissues. Since you're so good at making jokes, you'll definitely make our guests happier."
The sarcasm in her words was self-evident. Mu Feng didn't get angry. He took out his phone and found a number. Smiling, he dialed it.
The call was answered quickly.
"Old Lu, I'm at the Kerry Hotel right now. I want to buy three floors of this hotel. Room number six, come over."
After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for any response. This action further amused the people present.
"Alright, alright, stop entertaining us here. If you keep this up, we won't be able to eat today from laughing so hard. Hurry up and leave, I get annoyed seeing people like you."
"Du Jiaojiao, look at the kind of boyfriend you've found. Though, you two standing together really match!"
"One is a brainless idiot, and the other is a delusional liar. You two are truly a match made in heaven!"
Zhang Meili raised her hand, and the crowd immediately fell silent. She then turned her gaze to Professor Li. "See? This is the student you favored the most. Look at what he's become, and then look at the kind of boyfriend he's chosen."
"Back in school, if you had deducted one less credit from me, if you had shown me even a little favoritism, then now I would ensure you received millions in profit every month. But you let such an opportunity slip through your fingers."
Professor Li didn't reply. Instead, he first looked at Mu Feng. He knew Mu Feng must be angry, otherwise, he wouldn't have called someone over.
Mu Feng smiled, "The knowledge we've inherited for thousands of years, no matter what kind of education, teaches respect for teachers. But I only see one kind from you all."
Zhang Meili's face fell. "I advise you to shut up right now. Say one more offensive word, and I'll break one of your bones. I've already arranged for security to wait outside."
"I knew you guys wouldn't be honest."
With that, she clapped her hands, and the private room door was pushed open. Over twenty security guards flooded in, making the room feel cramped.
Mu Feng's smile grew even more pronounced. "I don't care how you conduct yourselves, but insulting Professor Li to my face like this makes me very unhappy."
"So, I'm also preparing to give you a small gift."
Zhang Meili snorted. "Go ahead, beat his mouth until it's broken. He thinks he can give us gifts and keep putting on a show!"
The security guards obediently rushed forward, their banana chairs already raised. Just then, a loud shout echoed from outside the door.
"Stop right there!"
Hearing this, everyone instinctively paused and looked towards the entrance. A middle-aged man rushed in, panting. His gaze immediately fell on Mu Feng, his eyes filled with panic and apprehension. He pushed past the people in front of him, ready to kneel.
Mu Feng reached out and steadied him. "Old Lu, you've put on some weight since I last saw you. Looks like you've been living well."
He was indeed Director Lu, and a single sentence had already made beads of sweat appear on his forehead.
"Young Master, I..."
"No need to say anything. I know. You have many businesses and no time to manage this hotel, so you entrusted it to others."
"Twenty percent of the shares for a professional management team was indeed a good deal, but this team is currently making me very dissatisfied."
Director Lu didn't hesitate. "I'll replace them immediately!"
"Don't rush!" Mu Feng smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Zhang Meili. Seeing the suspicious look in her eyes, his smile widened. "Didn't she say this hotel was hers?"
"Have her cancel this agreement."
Director Lu nodded profusely, like a bobblehead. When he turned back, his eyes were filled with anger and a fierce killing intent.
"You must be Old Zhang's daughter, right? I've cooperated with Old Zhang for several years, and he's always satisfied me. But I never expected him to be so incompetent in educating his children."
"Now, call Old Zhang immediately and tell him that from now on, all members of your Zhang family are to get out of the company, including any employees you've hired. Every single one of them, out!"
Zhang Meili could clearly feel the aura of someone accustomed to being in a position of authority emanating from him. Her voice trembled, "Who... who are you?"
"My surname is Lu. Who do you think I am?"
"It can't be Director Lu. My dad said he has a very good relationship with Director Lu, and we've already signed a contract. Breaking it midway incurs a penalty."
Zhang Meili was still struggling, finding it hard to believe what was happening before her. However, the other person's demeanor and presence didn't seem like an act.
Director Lu sneered, his eyes filled with unconcealed mockery. "I dare to pay the penalty, but ask if Old Zhang dares to accept it!"
"Wait here, I'll call my dad right now."
"Don't think you can fool me by finding a few people to put on a show."
"When my dad gets here, he'll sort you out." Zhang Meili glanced at Du Jiaojiao's flustered expression and immediately confirmed her suspicions. These people might be acting convincingly, but the chubby man in front of her was definitely not Director Lu. If Mu Feng were truly that capable, Du Jiaojiao would have known, but her current panic indicated she was afraid of being exposed. Her previous fear had completely vanished, replaced by annoyance. However, she still made the call, intending to have her father handle these impostors personally. Her dad's methods were far more effective than hers, capable of making these people disappear.
