Chapter 319: Chapter 283 "Looking down on others with contempt" _2

"Huff~"

After two o’clock, when the lobby manager had once again seen off a senior official, she took the opportunity to catch her breath.

"Sister Li, are all the guests almost gone?" asked a greeter with a good relationship with the lobby manager as she wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead when the lobby manager came back in.

"Almost."

"Then you can take a break."

"Not yet, there’s still one important leader who hasn’t left," Manager Li said tiredly, then with a twist of her hips, she walked towards the elevator. The sound of her high heels striking the marble floor was sharp and clear.

Listening to that heart-stirring clack, watching Manager Li’s enticing back, and feeling the charm of a mature woman, several young greeters looked on with envy.

"Ding Dong—"

Shortly thereafter, as Manager Li reached the elevator entrance, a crisp sound echoed, the elevator doors opened, and Ye Fan along with Ye Wenhao and others walked out.

"Welcome to visit again."

Seeing this, Manager Li did not greet them with the coquettish smile she had before, but rather gave a perfunctory smile and turned her gaze away.

To this, neither Ye Fan and Ye Wenhao nor Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Situ Ruoshui minded, but Su Jindi felt somewhat displeased—he thought the lobby manager’s smile was too fake and completely ignored the presence of their group.

When the doors of the adjacent elevator opened and Manager Li greeted the bald man at the front with an alluring smile and even took his arm, Su Jindi’s dissatisfaction reached its peak, and he couldn’t help but curse, "What a goddamn snob."

Swish!

Startled by Su Jindi’s comment, not only Manager Li, but also the bald man leading the group that had emerged from the next elevator, all had a change of expression.

"Kid, who are you talking about?"

A man wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase next to the bald man stepped forward angrily to question.

As the secretary of the bald man, although he wasn’t a notable figure in Dong hai officialdom, relying on his boss’s power, he had made many acquaintances, and even some mid-level officials would be very polite to him—he was in high spirits.

In such a situation, seeing Su Jindi speak rudely in front of his own bosses, the secretary, not to mention his boss, felt that Su Jindi deserved a beating!

Hm?

Following the bald man’s secretary’s words, Ye Fan and Ye Wenhao stopped their conversation, all paused in their steps, and turned back to watch.

Swish!

In the eyes looking back, the bald man, whose arm was being held by Manager Li, suddenly widened his eyes in shock upon recognizing the faces of Ye Wenhao and his son Ye Fan, which were neither unfamiliar nor completely unknown to him.

"Kid, you can be reckless with food but not your words. Think before you speak, and don’t just blurt out anything."

Just as the bald man was still in shock from seeing Ye Wenhao and his son Ye Fan, his secretary first scolded Su Jindi and then pointing at Ye Wenhao said, "Also, as adults, you should not only raise your children but also educate them..."

"Shut up!"

The bald man, originally in shock, trembled with fright at his secretary’s words and quickly shouted in a low voice.

"Uh..."

The secretary, shouted at by the bald man, was startled and closed his mouth, but was nonetheless puzzled.

The secretary, knowing how much the bald man valued his pride, had felt like a rabid dog leaping forward to bite after hearing Su Jindi’s muttering and seeing the bald man’s displeased face, trying to appease his master.

It wasn’t just the secretary who was puzzled; Manager Li and those who had been fawning over the bald man were also confused: what happened to District Chief Wang?

There was no answer.

The next moment.

In the shocked expressions of the crowd, the bald man shook off Manager Li’s delicate white arm as if tossing away trash and scurried over to Ye Wenhao like a servant from an ancient court drama seeing their master, extending his hands and bending over with a bow, a pleasing smile on his face as he said, "Secretary Ye...I’m District Chief Wang Dawei from Hongkou District, I really didn’t expect to run into you here."

Thinking back to Wang Dawei’s entourage earlier, then seeing him now groveling like a slavish dog, Ye Wenhao frowned slightly but didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan asked Su Jindi, "Jindi, what’s going on?"

"No...nothing, I just think that woman was a bit elitist."

Since meeting Ye Fan, Su Jindi had become much more low-key, but he couldn’t help getting irritated thinking about how Manager Li had brushed their party off and fawned over Wang Dawei’s group, "We’re all customers, why look down on us? Just because we only ordered eight dishes?"

Hmm?

Hearing Su Jindi’s words, Manager Li thought of something and seeing her own attempts to ingratiate herself with Wang Dawei looking so subservient in front of Ye Wenhao, panic started to show in her eyes.

As for Wang Dawei, he was so angry he almost passed out. Manager Li was usually pretty savvy, so why act prejudiced in front of an important figure? Wasn’t this a case of not recognizing Mount Tai and courting death?

"Dad, let’s go," Ye Fan suggested quietly after hearing Su Jindi’s explanation.

"Hmm."

Ye Wenhao nodded slightly and, without a fuss, turned around and left with Ye Fan and the others.

Seeing Ye Wenhao treat him like air, not only did Wang Dawei not get angry, but he maintained his bow, with cold sweat on his forehead streaming down as if it cost nothing.

"Wang...District Chief Wang, that...that person..."

As Ye Fan and his party departed, Manager Li approached Wang Dawei with some panic, trying to inquire about Ye Wenhao’s identity.

However—

Before Manager Li could finish her sentence, Wang Dawei interrupted angrily, "You’d better just pray that the gentleman doesn’t hold a grudge!"

Clunk!

At these words, Manager Li shuddered with fear, her chest heaved, and she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

And the secretary who had been so haughty and lecturing towards Su Jindi and Ye Wenhao suddenly dredged up a memory about Ye Wenhao from his vast memory bank—he had met him at the Yangtze River Delta Economic Summit.

As the memory surfaced, the secretary’s face turned pale and his legs started to tremble uncontrollably, as if suffering from cramps.

Who exactly was this Secretary Ye?

At the same time, the group that had been dining with Wang Dawei was filled with curiosity.

"Pack up your things tomorrow, and get out!"

As if to lift the veil for everyone, Wang Dawei coldly said to the secretary, then, with a heavy heart, he shook his sleeve and walked towards the exit of the hotel.

"Thump—"

Hearing Wang Dawei’s words, the secretary felt as if the end of the world had come, and he collapsed to the ground.
