Chapter 162 Admiration
Song Hongyu's pretty face turned cold. She glanced at Chen Xuan. "Hurry up and come with me to move the bar."
"Miss Song, for such rough work, I can have someone take him over to move it. You should go rest first," Zhao Jiaming said earnestly.
Because of Master Chen, Murong Yuan would become the overlord of Jiangbei. If he and Song Hongyu were in a relationship, their Zhao family's status in Jiangbei would also rise accordingly.
Song Hongyu was slightly tempted but still shook her head. "No, the banquet is of great importance, and I must be hands-on."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Song Hongyu, Zhao Jiaming said, "Then I'll go with you!"
He wouldn't miss any chance to get close to Song Hongyu.
Song Hongyu didn't respond. She led Chen Xuan towards the backyard, and Zhao Jiaming trotted along behind them.
Zhao Jiaming was really trying hard to pursue Song Hongyu. To show off in front of her, he personally went to move wine from the truck. However, Zhao Jiaming's body had long been depleted by wine and women. After moving only a few boxes of wine, he was already sweating profusely and panting.
However, those workers were all from Tianhao Grand Hotel and dared not steal Zhao Jiaming's thunder, so they could only drag their feet. Song Hongyu, preoccupied with the banquet, was very displeased.
Chen Xuan, thinking that the banquet was about to start and he needed to finish moving quickly to attend it, carried five or six boxes of wine at a time.
Chen Xuan's actions stunned many people, even Song Hongyu widened her beautiful eyes.
This kid has too much strength?
Seeing this, Zhao Jiaming's face turned dark, and a hint of anger flickered in his heart.
How dare this kid steal Zhao Shao's thunder? Does he not want to live?
Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he's clinging to Fatty Zhang?
Just then, another truckload of wine arrived.
Many workers stood up to unload the truck, but Zhao Jiaming waved his hand to stop the workers and looked at Chen Xuan with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Kid, don't you have a lot of strength? Then unload this truck yourself?"
Chen Xuan frowned and glanced at Zhao Jiaming. "What do you mean?"
A worker said disdainfully, "Haven't you been around? Don't you see the situation? You've stolen Zhao Shao's thunder."
"It means nothing, I just find you interesting, my young master is rewarding you! If you can't finish moving it today, you probably won't be able to eat this meal today." Zhao Jiaming sneered a few times.
Others stared at Chen Xuan with schadenfreude.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Song Hongyu pointed at Chen Xuan and said coldly, "Everyone else, hurry up and unload the cars for me."
The workers didn't move because they all relied on the Zhao family for their livelihood. If they offended Zhao Jiaming, they wouldn't be able to work anymore.
Zhao Jiaming was stunned and immediately showed some hostility.
Could it be that Song Hongyu has taken a liking to this kid?
"Not going? If you delay the banquet and offend Master Chen, no one will be able to bear the consequences." Song Hongyu wasn't angry.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Jiaming's expression changed. He gloomily waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and move the wine from the truck."
Song Hongyu then led Chen Xuan towards the banquet hall.
Zhao Jiaming watched Song Hongyu and Chen Xuan leave, his expression growing colder.
How dare you steal my goddess, you're seeking death!
...
"Miss Song, thank you."
Chen Xuan lit a cigarette and said indifferently.
Song Hongyu warned, "I'm telling you, don't have any improper intentions towards me. I already have someone I like. I just couldn't stand the Zhao family just now."
Chen Xuan was stunned and immediately looked helpless.
When did he have any improper intentions towards Song Hongyu?
"I wonder who Miss Song's crush is?" Chen Xuan blurted out instinctively.
Song Hongyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she hesitated. But to prevent Chen Xuan from overthinking, she said very seriously, word by word, "Master Chen!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan was dumbfounded and stared at Song Hongyu for several seconds.
She likes him?
But she doesn't seem to have met this woman. How could this woman like him?
He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Have you seen Master Chen?"
"No."
"Then you like Master Chen?" Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
"What's so surprising about that? Eighty percent of the girls in Jiangbei now admire the Jiangbei Master Chen. He's a figure more worshipped than the Four Heavenly Kings of the music industry." Song Hongyu felt a hint of disdain for Chen Xuan's unsophisticated expression.
Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.
Not long ago, he was a despised live-in son-in-law. Today, he has become the object of admiration for countless young ladies in Jiangbei!
Even a strong woman like Song Hongyu had developed different feelings for him.
Unfortunately, there was already an indelible shadow in his heart.
"Don't cause trouble at the banquet. This is Master Chen's banquet. Otherwise, even Fatty Zhang can't save you."
Song Hongyu had something to do, so she reminded him and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
As soon as Song Hongyu reached the dining hall, a sturdy man who was pacing frantically rushed over and respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Miss Song!"
"Is there something you need me for?" Song Hongyu asked with a frown.
"Miss Song, President Zhang sent me to find you. He said he needs help unloading wine from the truck, but I couldn't find you. Will it delay the banquet now..." The sturdy man wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked urgently.
If the banquet was delayed because of him, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Ah?"
"Then who is he?"
Song Hongyu was stunned upon hearing this!
...
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was strolling outside the banquet hall, smoking.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Xuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, preparing to attend the banquet. Zhao Jiaming walked over with his men.
Chen Xuan ignored scums like Zhao Jiaming and continued to walk.
His followers immediately shouted coldly, "Don't you know to greet Young Master Zhao? Are you asking for a beating?"
Zhao Jiaming waved his hand to stop his follower. "How can you speak like that?"
He had already figured it out. What kind of person was Song Hongyu? How could she possibly like someone like Chen Xuan? However, it was not impossible that this guy had some ulterior motives. He came here on the one hand to save face, and on the other hand, to let this guy know the gap between them.
Chen Xuan frowned.
Zhao Jiaming narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xuan with a threatening tone, "Kid, I know you have some skills working with Fatty Zhang, but you need to know the gap between us. Even Fatty Zhang wouldn't offend my Zhao family for a subordinate."
"I don't know what gap?" Chen Xuan asked with a playful smile.
"I am the dignified young master of the Zhao family. I will inherit the entire Tianhao Grand Hotel, and my future net worth will exceed one billion. And you? You're just a thug. The gap in status between us is like a chasm."
"Therefore, I advise you not to harbor any wishful thinking about Miss Song."
Zhao Jiaming said slowly, "You offended me just now, but I, Zhao Jiaming, am magnanimous and will give you a chance. I won't bother with you."
"I don't know what chance?" Chen Xuan asked, suppressing a laugh.
"There aren't enough staff for the banquet today, and we're short of waiters. You can be a waiter."
Zhao Jiaming said arrogantly, "Don't look down on being a waiter. The waiter I'm letting you be is for the table serving Master Chen. You can get a close look at Master Chen. This is the glory of your life!"
Chen Xuan said with a half-smile, "Really? Then I have to thank Young Master Zhao."
"Kid, you're sensible, good. Perform well."
Zhao Jiaming grinned triumphantly and then waved his hand at his follower.
The follower held a waiter's uniform and handed it to Chen Xuan, saying haughtily, "Come with me."
