Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Boss Hong
"Hahaha." Some teachers couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw the embarrassed Chen Junyu and the bewildered Chu Yi.
This guy's mouth is really something. He just said that this chair couldn't hold up, but he didn't expect it to break now.
Dong Guohao was stunned in place for a while and didn't know what to say.
He couldn't blame the service quality here...
He could only give Chu Yi a fierce look and quickly pulled Chen Junyu up.
Chen Junyu's face was gloomy, feeling extremely angry. This chair had been fine all along, why did it have to break now? And on his own turf too! Wasn't this just humiliating him?
Especially when he saw Tan Yu's smile at the corner of her mouth, his resentment towards Chu Yi grew even deeper.
It was their first meeting and he already made a fool of himself. The worst part was that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
After such an incident, Chen Junyu had no face to stay here any longer so he could only sit with Dong Guohao instead.
The rest of the banquet went smoothly enough. However, after it ended, perhaps in order to save face from earlier, Chen Junyu suggested treating everyone at Dunhuang KTV which was known as one of the most expensive KTVs where you can't get in without spending less than 1k per person.
"Isn't that Dunhuang KTV? You can't get in unless you spend more than 1k alone," Zhou Ru exclaimed excitedly.
Although they were teachers themselves, they also longed for city nightlife like anyone else. Moreover most ktvs nowadays are legitimate businesses so there's nothing wrong with going there either way.
"Teacher Chen, don't spend too much."
Chen Junyu waved his hand generously and said, "It's just a small amount of money. Today is our first meeting so it's only right that I treat everyone."
Although Chen Junyu didn't have the management rights to Kaisheng Hotel, he still held a small portion of shares and was known for his extravagant spending.
"It seems like our office will be blessed in the future."
"Teacher Chen, please take care of us in the future." Several married male teachers flattered him.
Chen Junyu was very pleased with this and even looked at Chu Yi provocatively.
"Anyone can become a teacher these days," Chu Yi sighed inwardly. Although Chen Junyu's teaching level was really good and he had high qualifications, his character wasn't great.
Once he got angry with one student who then ended up getting beaten by a group of thugs with broken bones on the next day.
No one believed there were no shady dealings involved in that incident.
A group of people followed Chen Junyu out together since they were all new teachers except for Tan Yu who intentionally stepped back two steps from Chu Yi while chatting casually with him about nothing important.
"Teacher Chu, you should apologize to Teacher Chen. After all, Teacher Chen has some background at home. Your words earlier might have offended him which would make it more difficult for you to get promoted later on," Tan Yu reminded him.
"Apologize? Why should I? Just because I said something unimportant?"
Make himself apologize?
What a joke!
If this matter were known by people from the immortal world, they would probably be scared out of their wits. As an esteemed Yan Luo Xianzun (King Yama), even if he made mistakes there was no need to apologize.
He knew that Tan Yu had relatively kind intentions but she couldn't help being biased towards someone like anyone else when given choices between two options; especially after seeing how her relationship with him had gradually become distant since Chen Junyu appeared.
As a woman, she would naturally lean towards someone like Chen Junyu when weighing the pros and cons.
"Teacher Chen, you're too stubborn. You'll suffer sooner or later if you keep this up," Tan Yu frowned. "This world isn't as beautiful as you imagine it to be."
"We have different paths." Chu Yi shook his head and didn't say much more.
Seeing him like this, Tan Yu could only sigh helplessly.
She originally had a good impression of Chu Yi because although he wasn't well-off financially, he was still hardworking and looked decent enough.
Compared to Chen Junyu, the difference is too great. His own parents would never agree.
They are destined to be people from two different worlds and will only grow further apart.
...
In this bustling city, with its strange and colorful sights, young men and women shouting while tugging at their clothes, crowds of people coming and going in a sea of cars - it all made Chu Yi feel somewhat dazed.
He had truly come back.
The Dunhuang KTV was just a five-minute walk from the Kaisheng Hotel where they had eaten dinner. Judging by the looks of things, it seemed like tonight's party would go on until very late.
"I have to start preparing for classes since school starts the day after tomorrow...this is really troublesome," Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
The entire Dunhuang KTV was located in the most prosperous area of Jiujiang City. It was magnificent with many luxury cars parked outside. Chen Junyu had already reserved a luxurious VIP room where everyone went inside excitedly and started screaming wildly.
Chu Yi sat quietly on one side feeling out of place without anyone handing him a microphone or engaging him in conversation.
"Teacher Chen, I heard that this KTV belongs to Fan Hong's territory. I didn't expect you to have such face; even Manager Zhang came over earlier to toast you," Zhou Ru exaggeratedly said.
"You mean Boss Hong?" Chen Junyu looked wary as he replied: "He's indeed powerful; he established himself barehanded here in Jiujiang City and has his own KTVs throughout various districts here. Once there were district leaders who didn't give him any face which resulted in them being taken down."
Compared to Dunhuang KTV, Kaisheng Hotel paled greatly in terms of status. Moreover, Chen Junyu had only caught sight of Fan Hong once during an auction.
"Country bumpkins really lack knowledge; they come here and shrink back in fear," Chen Junyu sneered as he looked at Chu Yi who was drinking beer by himself.
After a while, team leader Dong Guohao felt the urge to smoke and went out into the corridor. Just then, a beautiful woman wearing a low-cut black dress stumbled out of one of the rooms looking somewhat drunk. Her two white thighs caught Dong Guohao's attention causing him to feel aroused. He had always been lustful but usually only indulged his eyes without taking any action. However, today he had been drinking and was in an entertainment venue so his right hand couldn't help but reach out.
"Get lost!" The woman sobered up slightly upon seeing this middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears touching her thigh, revealing disgust on her face.
"What are you pretending for? You're just doing that kind of work; what's wrong with me touching it?"
Seeing the other party's expression made Dong Guohao furious.
A mere miss, dare to complain about herself?
"Stinky bitch, shameless." With the courage of alcohol, Dong Guohao pushed the woman.
"You fat bastard, you wait for me!" The woman was not easy to mess with and immediately threatened him.
"I'll be waiting for you right here!" After cursing back and forth, Dong Guohao stumbled back into his private room.
...
On the other side, a beautiful woman returned to a luxurious private room with anger.
This was Dunhuang KTV's largest private room. Those who could afford to come here had a strict requirement: their net worth must be at least in the billions.
Two black-clad bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood at the door and quickly opened it upon seeing her approach.
Inside were over twenty burly men standing around. On genuine leather sofas sat women dressed in cheongsams or uniforms... all incredibly charming as they tried to please one man in particular.
He appeared to be around forty years old with rugged features and a scar on his right ear. He wore Zhongshan suit attire - there had always been rumors that two types of people should never be provoked: those who wear Zhongshan suits and those who carry black umbrellas. Clearly this man was the boss here.
Standing next to him was Zhang, Dunhuang KTV's manager who respectfully kept his eyes downcast while inside this room full of springtime scenery unfolding before them all.
"Xiaoli, what happened?" Zhang asked when he saw Xiaoli run in looking upset. "Manager, someone bullied me! A fat guy not only touched me but also insulted me! You have got to do something!"
"What happened? Everyone knows you're my girl; how dare anyone lay hands on you?" Fan Hong furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this news.
Zhang's expression darkened too - there were rules here that everyone had to follow. No one was allowed to touch any of Fan Hong's women.
"Xiaoli, who did this and in which private room?" Zhang asked.
"VIP Room 2. He didn't look like he had much money," Xiaoli replied.
"So it's that guy." Zhang knew a little about him: he was from the Kaisheng Hotel and Chen Huaqiang's second son.
"Hmph, I thought it was someone else. Even Chen Huaqiang has to avoid me when he sees me; his son dares to be arrogant here?" Fan Hong chuckled twice, making the woman groveling at his feet tremble with fear.
Everyone knew that no one should touch Fan Hong's women. Once a chairman of a large corporation touched one by accident and almost got beaten to death by Fan Hong - if not for the intervention of city leaders, even his manhood would have been cut off!
Fan Hong owed his current position entirely to being ruthless and merciless.
"Xiao Zhang, take some people over there and bring both that fat guy and whoever is from Kaisheng Hotel back here. I want to see how they plan on explaining themselves today."
"Yes, boss." Zhang tensed up all over - he knew bloodshed might happen tonight.
