It is over!
Without Zhou Yu, Maple Leaf Club was simply perfect!
"My apologies, everyone."
Just as Zhang Shaohua sighed inwardly, a woman in a cheongsam walked out of the club.
She looked about thirty years old. Her looks were not stunning, but she could be considered beautiful.
"Isn't that Manager Yang from Maple Leaf Club? Why is she out?"
"She didn't come out despite such a huge commotion earlier, but now she suddenly apologizes. What does that mean?"
"Who knows? Let's just wait and see."
The young masters were baffled by Manager Yang's apology, like monks with their heads scratched.
Normally, Manager Yang rarely appeared in the hall.
Her appearance now must mean something.
As expected.
Manager Yang bowed to everyone and then apologized, "I am truly sorry, everyone. Maple Leaf Club will soon be receiving a distinguished guest, and we kindly ask you to leave as soon as possible. Whether you are dining, about to dine, or have just arrived, this club will not be able to serve you today."
Her attitude was humble and her etiquette was perfect.
It seemed what she said was true.
At this moment, Zhou Yu, who had just reached the lobby entrance, stopped when he heard this.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Zhao Ruyue was preoccupied. She had been following Zhou Yu closely, and when he suddenly stopped, she almost bumped into him.
Fortunately, her reaction was quick, and she didn't embarrass herself.
"I suddenly don't feel like leaving," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
He wanted to see who this distinguished guest was that Maple Leaf Club was about to receive.
"Manager Yang, who exactly is this distinguished guest you speak of?"
"Yes, yes, if you don't explain clearly, we won't leave so easily."
"That's right. You must tell us the identity of that person, otherwise, if you spoil everyone's mood, we'll demand a refund of our membership fees."
The young masters clamored, demanding that Manager Yang reveal the identity of the distinguished guest.
Otherwise, they refused to leave.
Zhang Shaohua was also full of curiosity.
After all, the people who could ask him to leave based on their status and background could be counted on one hand in Yunhai City.
"This..."
Manager Yang hesitated upon seeing this.
These people were all scions of the prominent families in Yunhai City, and she dared not offend them completely.
But the person coming to Maple Leaf Club today had an extremely formidable background.
So formidable that even her boss had to serve them with utmost humility.
After careful consideration, Manager Yang finally said, "Considering the important figures who have recently come to Yunhai City, besides that one person, who else could it be?"
Besides that one person, who else could it be?
Hearing her say this, everyone present began to guess.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Could it be the Female War God?"
Whoosh!
This person's exclamation instantly drew nods of agreement from those around him.
Manager Yang did not explicitly confirm it, but she did not deny it either.
At this point, everyone became even more certain.
Female War God?
Leng Xue?
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Wherever he went, he seemed to encounter that cold, stoic woman.
Was this what they called destiny between fiancés?
"Female War God Leng Xue? I heard she didn't attend the welcome banquet yesterday. I didn't expect her to come to Maple Leaf Club for a meal today, and even clear out everyone present. Could something big have happened?" Zhao Ruyue speculated.
Her voice was not loud, but Zhou Yu heard it clearly.
However, Zhou Yu did not speak. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and waited for further developments.
Seeing that he was still not leaving, Zhao Ruyue reminded him, "Zhou Yu, aren't we leaving yet? Manager Yang from Maple Leaf Club has already started clearing people out. If we leave on our own, we won't be driven out. Wouldn't that be more pleasant?"
She didn't understand what Zhou Yu was thinking.
But how could Zhao Ruyue know?
The reason why someone was unwilling to leave was precisely because he heard Leng Xue's name.
"Wait a little longer," Zhou Yu said.
Zhao Ruyue pursed her lips and obediently nodded.
Since Zhou Yu didn't want to leave, she could only stay and wait with him.
In the hall.
"If the Female War God is coming, then it's only right for us to give her space. Everyone, I'll take my leave first."
"That's right. Perhaps the Female War God Leng Xue has something important to discuss at Maple Leaf Club. We should not linger."
"We should still give face to the Female War God."
"But I've already paid for my meal. If I leave just like this, won't I be losing a lot?"
Customers who had not yet ordered their food felt indifferent. Those who were about to leave were even more so.
But those who were already eating had their opinions.
Even if it was the Female War God, they had paid to eat here, so they couldn't just lose the money for their meal for no reason.
In response, Manager Yang offered a reasonable solution.
"Everyone, please rest assured. For all of you present, your next meal at Maple Leaf Club will be half-price, regardless of who you are. Furthermore, for customers who have already ordered and have not finished their meals, we will refund your money three times! Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Upon hearing this.
The crowd had no further objections.
Thus, everyone began to leave one after another.
As the number of guests in the hall dwindled, Manager Yang felt a slight sense of relief.
However, when she saw that Young Master Zhang had no intention of leaving, she immediately tensed up again.
The Zhang family was a first-tier family in Yunhai City, and she absolutely dared not offend Zhang Shaohua easily.
"Young Master Zhang, you..."
Manager Yang approached him, trying to lower her posture as much as possible.
"Manager Yang, the Female War God Leng Xue is my future instructor, and also my 'Leng Shuai'. I believe I don't need to leave, do I?" Zhang Shaohua said with a smile.
The reason he remained was precisely because of his status as a new member of the Dragon Group.
"While that may be true, my boss instructed..."
Manager Yang inwardly cursed her bad luck. She hadn't expected Zhang Shaohua to have no intention of leaving.
This was going to be difficult.
Her boss had repeatedly emphasized that no matter who it was, regardless of their status, they had to be asked to leave.
But now...
The young master of the Zhang family was also present.
She was truly having a terrible day!
"What? Manager Yang still has reservations? How about I ask Leng Shuai herself when she arrives?" Zhang Shaohua continued.
In his opinion, he was already a new member of the Dragon Group and would soon participate in the training.
Moreover, he was personally chosen by the Female War God, not by someone else.
Therefore, Zhang Shaohua had reason to believe that he was qualified to not leave Maple Leaf Club.
Members of the Dragon Group existed precisely to deal with various emergencies in the Dragon Country. If Leng Xue was going to discuss important matters here, he could join in.
"Young Master Zhang, I am just an employee. I do as my boss tells me. I have no authority to decide such matters. If you truly refuse to leave, then I can't do anything about it, but..."
As Manager Yang was speaking, she suddenly noticed two more people returning.
Heavens!
She hadn't even resolved the situation here, and two more people had come back?
It was one thing for Zhang Shaohua.
His family background was well-established.
What right did these two have to be so arrogant?
"You two, was what I said not clear enough? Why are you returning?"
With no other choice, Manager Yang turned her attention to the two who had returned.
The returning individuals were none other than Zhou Yu and Zhao Ruyue.
