At this moment, many onlookers from other private rooms also poked their heads out.
"Isn't that Mr. Wang from Jingji Group? He's a man who operates in both legitimate and illicit circles in G City. This kid dares to provoke him, truly unaware of how to write the word 'death'."
"This is going to be good entertainment."
"Guess if he'll be begging for mercy on his knees later?"
"Knowing Mr. Wang's temperament, even if this kid kneels and begs, he'll likely lose a hand."
Almost everyone looked at Xiao Xun with a hint of pity, their minds already picturing his agonizing fate.
Zhao Yu Man turned to Wang Jin Gang and said, "Mr. Wang, I apologize on behalf of Xiao Xun for today's events."
As she spoke, she took out a golden card and handed it over. "This is my Ming Feng Restaurant's gold card. With this card, all your consumption at our establishment will be free, as compensation for today's incident. I kindly ask you not to hold it against him."
Wang Jin Gang chuckled, "You think a gold card can settle today's matter? Is my reputation only worth this much? Besides, do I look like someone who can't afford to eat?"
Xiao Xun stepped forward, intending to tell Zhao Yu Man to say nothing more.
Zhao Yu Man firmly pushed him back and continued, "Then, Mr. Wang, what would it take for you to let this go?"
Wang Jin Gang sized up Zhao Yu Man's curvaceous figure. Conquering a strong woman was something many successful men desired. He smiled and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. You have two options, choose one."
"Either that brat leaves with one hand, or you spend the night with me, and I'll pretend today never happened." As he spoke, his eyes never left her full and shapely form.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people began to murmur again.
"She's the daughter of Zhao Group. Is Wang Jin Gang not afraid of offending Zhao Jin Hai by saying that?"
"He's the General Manager of Jingji Group's G City branch, and I heard he's also the brother-in-law of Jingji Group's CEO."
"If it were me, I'd rather lose a hand."
A cold glint flashed in Zhao Yu Man's eyes. Seeing that Wang Jin Gang had no intention of negotiating reasonably, she became less polite. "Mr. Wang, it's just over a woman, is it necessary to make things so tense?"
Wang Jin Gang sneered, "If I, Wang Jin Gang, can't even handle one woman today, I might as well not bother with G City anymore. Zhao Yu Man, if you don't dare to choose, then get lost. I'm going to deal with this little brat named Xiao Xun today. Take his hand off!"
Xiao Xun, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "You talk too much!"
Xiao Xun directly charged towards Wang Jin Gang. Wang Jin Gang stepped back, and Bai Mao rushed forward.
Xiao Xun was not skilled at fighting, and Bai Mao was clearly an expert. Bai Mao's movements were extremely strange and fast.
As he approached Xiao Xun, he suddenly squatted down, grabbed Xiao Xun's belt with both hands, and threw him to the ground.
Just as Xiao Xun was about to be beaten, Bai Mao was kicked flying by an immense force.
Bai Mao sprang up from the ground and saw three people standing beside Xiao Xun, one of them as burly as a bear. "So you have helpers."
Bai Mao sneered and charged again. His subordinates also looked for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to Xiao Xun.
The bear-like man stood still. As Bai Mao lunged at Xiao Xun, another person blocked in front of Xiao Xun.
Bai Mao grabbed the neck of the person blocking him with one hand, and with the other, he drew a dagger from his waist and slashed towards the opponent's right wrist.
Unexpectedly, this person was even faster. He grabbed Bai Mao's wrist with his right hand, twisted it forcefully, and the dagger was aimed at Bai Mao's left eye.
Then, the person's left hand struck the end of the dagger with a sudden force. With a "whoosh," the dagger skimmed past Wang Jin Gang's scalp and embedded itself in the ceiling.
Wang Jin Gang felt a chill on his forehead and stumbled back a few steps.
Although Bai Mao had dodging skills, his brow bone was still cut by the dagger.
The person in front of Xiao Xun used his knees to strike Bai Mao's lower back, then stretched out his hands, grabbed Bai Mao, and pinned him to the ground.
Seeing their boss being subdued, the subordinates raised their baseball bats and swung them. The bear-like man directly drew his gun.
Everyone froze. Then, the person in front of Xiao Xun leaped up and delivered a crescent kick, hitting Bai Mao's chin precisely. Bai Mao cried out in pain, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crowd gasped in disbelief. Was this still human?
The bear-like man shouted sternly, "Get out!!!"
Without waiting for Wang Jin Gang's command, the thugs scattered like they had seen a ghost, scrambling to flee. No matter how Wang Jin Gang shouted, they didn't listen.
At this moment, Xiao Xun looked like a demon from hell, walking step by step towards Wang Jin Gang.
Seeing the formidable strength of his opponents, Wang Jin Gang assumed they were powerful figures from the underworld.
His pupils contracted, and he involuntarily took a step back, stammering fearfully, "Don't come any closer! If you dare to touch me, tomorrow you'll be wanted by the whole city!"
Xiao Xun was almost face-to-face with Wang Jin Gang. "Oh really? Then I'd love to see what it feels like to be wanted by the whole city. Why don't you grant me that wish?"
"No, no, no! Brother, I admit defeat. Please let me go."
Wang Jin Gang looked as if he were about to cry.
Xiao Xun paid no heed and directly slapped Wang Jin Gang across the face, leaving clear imprints of his five fingers.
The loud sound of the slap echoed around, stunning not only Wang Jin Gang but also the bosses watching from the side.
He was the general manager of the Jingji Group's branch, a man who operated in both legitimate and illicit circles, whom everyone gave face to.
And today, he was slapped across the face by an unknown youngster?
Seeing the hand about to descend again, Wang Jin Gang quickly fumbled for a black card from his clothes and pleaded, "Young master, I was blind and didn't recognize your status. This card has over two million yuan in it. Consider it my humble offering. Take it and spend it as you please. If it's not enough, just come to me anytime, and I guarantee the young master will be satisfied."
Xiao Xun saw no reason to refuse money offered to him.
"Then can this slap be spared? Get lost!" Putting the black card into his pocket, Xiao Xun kicked Wang Jin Gang away.
Wang Jin Gang acted as if he had been granted a great pardon and ran off without looking back.
Xiao Xun walked up to Zhao Yu Man. "You were worried for me tonight. Thank you. I'll pay for the things that were broken."
"It's alright. However, you should inform President Mu about what happened today, as your company and hers have business dealings. Wang Jin Gang is not someone who takes losses lightly, and his brother-in-law is a very influential figure."
Xiao Xun glanced at his phone. "It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, I'm going home."
"Let me give you a ride!"
"No need, I can manage on my own."
Xiao Xun nodded. "That's good."
Secretary Gao pushed open the private room door and walked out. "No need, I've woken up. Xiao Xun, thank you."
After leaving St. Roman, Secretary Gao found a sales job.
A few days ago, she had put in a lot of effort to sign a major contract. However, at the final stage, that Wang Jin Gang specifically requested her to accompany him for drinks, otherwise, he wouldn't sign.
She initially refused, but Manager Wang used various threats and inducements, which led to this incident.
"Do you need me to take you home?"
"No need, I can do it myself."
Xiao Xun nodded. "That's good."
Zhao Yu Man said to Xiao Xun, "Since that's the case, let's arrange another time. I'll drive you! I remember your car is still at the wholesale market."
This time, Xiao Xun did not refuse her.
After taking Xiao Xun to the market, Zhao Yu Man said to him, "Actually, I asked you here today to invite you to become a director of our Millennium Group."
Xiao Xun looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. "If you asked me here today solely for this matter, I'm sorry, but I'm really not interested."
Zhao Yu Man smiled. "Of course, it's not just about this. I hope you can find time to bring President Mu out, so we can meet somewhere."
Xiao Xun asked curiously, "Why don't you invite her yourself?"
"I don't dare..."
Xiao Xun found it strange. "She doesn't eat people, what is there to be afraid of?"
Zhao Yu Man didn't respond but simply said, "Then I'll see you next time."
Just as he started the car, his phone rang, and Xiao Xun felt a headache. "This day is never-ending."
The caller ID showed his mother. He thought his uncle had complained and prepared his arguments to brace himself for his mother's onslaught.
To his surprise, when he answered, she wasn't calling about that.
"Your niece is almost at the train station. Go pick her up."
"Isn't that in two days?"
"How would I know? I just got the call."
Xiao Xun agreed and was about to hang up when his mother asked, "By the way, it's your uncle's birthday, did you go?"
"Yes, I did."
"Did you give the gift money?"
Xiao Xun grunted. "I did."
Then the line went dead.
