Chapter 117: Chapter 0117 Tianjing Group

"So you see," Chu Ge did not directly respond this time but looked around at the group of people who formed an alliance across from him, his voice carrying a hint of laughter, "Have you all lived in luxury for so long that you’ve forgotten some basic survival instincts?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Tanqiu frowned, temporarily unable to grasp what Chu Ge was trying to convey.

The others remained silent, their eyes focused on Chu Ge, waiting for him to continue.

"Perhaps I should be more explicit." Chu Ge set his wine glass on the coffee table and continued, "Are you so accustomed to being served that, without a maid or servant, you wouldn’t know how to do anything? Like not knowing how to buy cigarettes, dress yourselves, or even... how to use the restroom."

At this point, a sense of unease rose among the group, while a mischievous smile appeared on Chu Ge’s face.

"I’m curious, how do you gentlemen manage when you urinate? Do you also need two people to help—one to hold your ’little brother’ and another to unfasten your belt?"

"You—" Ge Yilun slammed the table and stood up abruptly from the sofa, his face flushed red as he glared at Chu Ge.

No doubt, Chu Ge’s words were blunt and spared no dignity for them. Even Ni Rui commented softly, "It’s just about helping to buy a pack of cigarettes, was there any need for such hurtful words?"

Several others around nodded in agreement.

However, Chu Ge glanced at Ni Rui and said expressionlessly, "Girl, if you dare to harbor any more foolish thoughts, do you believe I would throw you out of here?"

He didn’t believe Ni Rui was unaware of the situation. Her feigning innocence was merely to support Qiu Changqing and the others, hoping that Chu Ge would back down voluntarily.

"Enough, Ni Rui, there’s no need to talk more with this kind of person!" Ge Yilun waved his hand and turned to Chu Ge, apparently about to say something.

But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Mu Bingtong approaching them. The words on the tip of his tongue were promptly swallowed back.

After all, they were guests brought by Mu Bingtong. Speaking out in her presence could certainly leave a bad impression on her.

So Ge Yilun nodded at Chu Ge, "Fine, let’s not trouble you anymore, I’ll go buy them myself!"

With that said, he picked up his wallet and walked out of the bar.

"What happened?" Just as Ge Yilun left, Mu Bingtong approached, sitting beside Chu Ge, "What’s going on?"

Her question was clearly directed at Chu Ge. Previously, old classmates were present, and naturally, there was a feeling of reunion. As they kept engaging her in conversation, Mu Bingtong felt a bit guilty for leaving Chu Ge alone at a corner drinking by himself.

Thus, she had used the restroom as an excuse to get away from their enthusiasm.

But before Chu Ge could reply, Zhou Duo spoke mockingly, "Sister Bingtong, from which country’s special forces did you recruit this security chief? He really acts high and mighty!"

"Special forces?" Mu Bingtong’s brows slightly furrowed. Being a clever woman, she could discern the sarcasm in those words. Apparently, during her absence, Chu Ge had some conflicts with these old classmates.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Zhou Duo!" Seeing that Zhou Duo seemed ready to say more, Qiu Changqing stopped her and then looked at Mu Bingtong with a smile: "It’s nothing, I just wanted Chu to help with a small favor just now. Perhaps Chu isn’t used to helping others, let’s pretend it never happened. This drink is my way of apologizing!"

On the surface, Qiu Changqing seemed to be making a concession, but his words were actually very cutting! In a few sentences, he covered up all the excessive remarks made previously and also painted Chu Ge as a selfish person.

The sole purpose of doing this was naturally to make Chu Ge appear despicable in Mu Bingtong’s eyes.

Unexpectedly for him, Mu Bingtong’s first reaction to these words was not to blame, but to look at Chu Ge somewhat nervously and unsure: "Sorry, I didn’t expect to..."

"It’s okay." Chu Ge then gave her a gentle smile: "I’m not so petty as to fuss over such things."

"Thank you!" Mu Bingtong smiled radiantly, which surprised everyone around.

Since she had arrived at the bar, although she had been chatting animatedly with a bunch of old classmates, she had kept her speech within strict limits, and even her smile was merely out of politeness.

Only now did Mu Bingtong’s smile genuinely come from the heart, adding even more charm to her already stunning beauty.

"President Mu?" Just then, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over with a glass of wine, his face showing excitement upon seeing Mu Bingtong: "President Mu, do you remember me?"

"You are..." Mu Bingtong looked at the man in front of her, silent for a moment, honestly not remembering who he was.

"It seems that President Mu truly has a bad memory of important people!" The man shook his head and smiled, but didn’t mind, instead bowing slightly: "President Mu, meeting is fate, I wonder if you would honor us by joining us for a few drinks?"

"Sorry." Mu Bingtong showed a polite smile, but her gaze was cold and distant: "I don’t usually come to bars, I’m just here for an old classmate’s gathering, maybe some other time."

"Classmate gathering?" The man muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over several people and finally resting on Qiu Changqing: "Qiu?"

Seeing Mu Bingtong with Chu Ge, Qiu Changqing had downed several glasses of sullen liquor, his expression extremely gloomy.

At this moment hearing someone calling him, he was stunned for a moment before looking up, his expression shifting from gloomy to shocked, then from shocked to ingratiating: "Mr. Xia!"

Not only Qiu Changqing, sitting next to him, Zhang Tanqiu also looked at the man called Mr. Xia, seemingly ready to strike up a conversation.

"Zhang Tanqiu, who is this Mr. Xia?" Zhou Duo leaned in, quietly asking.

"This person is Xia Tianjing, the Vice President of Tianjing Group!" Zhang Tanqiu glanced at Xia Tianjing, then introduced him to Zhou Duo: "Moreover, the Chairman of Tianjing Group is actually his father. That position will be his sooner or later!"

"Tianjing Group?" Zhou Duo’s mouth gaped open.

This was a famous enterprise in Shanghai, its assets even larger than Mu Bingtong’s Jinxiu Group, and Qiu Changqing actually knew Xia Tianjing?
