The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 522 - 522 522

522: 522 522: 522 Zhonghai, at a fashion cafe.

Doorway.

“Just say what you need to here.

It’s getting late, and I have to go to work soon.” Lin Fei, brought to the cafe for a discussion by his high school classmate Qi Wenjie, saw that the cafe wasn’t open for customers yet.

Worried about Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, the two beautiful department heads, Lin Fei couldn’t be bothered to find another place to talk.

Lin Fei was impatient, but Qi Wenjie was visibly in an even fouler mood.

“You’re just a damn security guard, what kind of job do you think you’re going to?

Going to work, what else can you do besides standing post and parking cars?!

It’s a job anyone normal can do, why are you so eager for nothing?!

I haven’t even complained about you wasting my time to go to work, what are you fussing about?!

Can’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror to see what you even look like now?!

I’m willing to waste my time standing here with you, just count yourself lucky!”

Originally, Lin Fei had wanted to save Qi Wenjie the cost of two cups of coffee.

Clearly, his kindness had elicited quite a tirade from her.

Although, Lin Fei was aware that due to the morning’s tussle in Mu Shanshan’s bedroom, his appearance wasn’t great at the moment.

But, he was handsome!

With his good looks, it had been years since Lin Fei had been scolded or looked down upon like this.

The sound of Qi Wenjie’s shrill criticism was unsettling to Lin Fei.

If not for the decent friendship they had back in high school, Lin Fei would probably have given Qi Wenjie a piece of his mind and then immediately turned around and left.

This was infuriating.

After all, Lin Fei was the deputy head of the Security Department at Mu Group, and the legitimate husband of the ice queen CEO Mu Shanshan.

After being berated by Qi Wenjie like this, if any Mu Group employees familiar with Lin Fei heard it, where would he put his face?

Moreover, did she get the approval of the big CEO to reprimand him like this?

The husband of the big CEO, is he someone who can be scolded at will?

Even the CEO herself chooses her words carefully when reprimanding her husband, considering the situation and the timing.

However, Lin Fei was not a petty person.

Having experienced a lot, he naturally came to see some things lightly.

Of course, most importantly, Lin Fei clearly felt that although Qi Wenjie was harshly scolding him, her words didn’t contain contempt or disdain; there was more frustration of unmet expectations.

Thus, Lin Fei naturally wouldn’t really get angry with a woman.

However, regarding Qi Wenjie’s disdain for the security profession in her words, Lin Fei was obviously going to refute her.

After all, he had many dedicated and responsible security personnel under him, some of whom had even helped Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, out of big troubles.

“Work shouldn’t be judged as high or low, security has its own value.

Like, for example, I—”

“What about you, you think being a security guard makes you right?!”

“No, I—”

“What about you, Did I let you talk?!”

This woman was asking for it!

He had the intention to argue his case, but Qi Wenjie interrupted him sharply twice in a row.

Lin Fei’s expression was very unpleasant, very unpleasant…

“Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.

Do you two want some coffee?” Just as Lin Fei frowned, considering whether he should teach Qi Wenjie a lesson in manners, a young couple approached Lin Fei and Qi Wenjie.

“What are you drinking?

Don’t you see the café’s doors are closed?!” Qi Wenjie, who wasn’t in the best of moods, harshly scolded Lin Fei and immediately turned her guns on this young couple that had suddenly appeared.

The young man, who noticed some tension between Qi Wenjie and Lin Fei, didn’t take offense at Qi Wenjie’s impolite tone.

On the contrary, he amiably said to Lin Fei and Qi Wenjie, “Miss, you’ve misunderstood me.

I’m the owner of this coffee shop.

If you two would like a coffee, perhaps you could let us through so we can open up and welcome customers.”

Qi Wenjie, who had inadvertently scolded the owner, felt a bit embarrassed.

But she wasn’t someone with thin skin.

After a moment’s embarrassment, Qi Wenjie quickly adjusted her emotions.

“How do you run a business like this?!

What time do you think it is?

What are you standing around for?

Hurry up and come open the door!” Her words placed her squarely as a customer, as if her previous rudeness had never come from her own mouth.

This move by Qi Wenjie also left Lin Fei marveling.

It turned out that over the years, it wasn’t just him whose skin had gotten thicker.

“I always thought my skin was thick enough.

Today, you’ve really opened my eyes.” While the young couple opened the door, Lin Fei leaned close to Qi Wenjie and whispered in her ear.

Then, without giving Qi Wenjie a chance to retort, he casually walked into the café.

Leaving Qi Wenjie behind, her pretty face blushed with alternating shades of anger and embarrassment.

…

With the young coffee shop owner’s care, Lin Fei and Qi Wenjie found a spot by the window to sit down.

After sitting down, Qi Wenjie, still angry, glanced at Lin Fei with humiliation and irritation in her eyes, “What do you want to drink?”

“Just a glass of plain water,” replied Lin Fei indifferently, having no interest in coffee.

Hearing Lin Fei’s response, which couldn’t get any cheaper, the frustration in Qi Wenjie’s beautiful eyes intensified.

Then, turning to the young waitress now dressed in a server’s attire standing by their side, she called out, “Two Blue Mountains, please.”

“I believe I asked for plain water.”

“A cup of coffee won’t kill you with its price, and besides, I didn’t plan to let you pay!”

“It’s not about who’s paying, I—”

“You can shut up now!”

Damn it, this is blatant discrimination!

Unable to refrain from cursing inwardly, Lin Fei’s expression also grew dark and ominous!

If it weren’t for his cellphone ringing at that moment, Lin Fei might have already lost his patience and slapped Qi Wenjie!

If it weren’t for the fact that the call was from Shanshan, his president wife, Lin Fei would certainly not entertain the thought of backing down easily.

Living for over twenty years, this was the first time he felt so blatantly ignored by a woman!

“What are you looking at?

Answer your phone.

Answer it right here; don’t think about leaving my sight!” Not noticing the extreme anger in Lin Fei’s tiger-like eyes, Qi Wenjie scolded him thinking Lin Fei might be asking for permission to step away to answer his phone.

Without waiting for Lin Fei to say or do anything further, Qi Wenjie directly snapped at him!

The tone was such that if Lin Fei hadn’t already answered the call from Shanshan, the icy president herself, he might not have been able to restrain himself from flipping the table.

“Honey, I ran into an old classmate.

This classmate has given me so many surprises!

I need to have a good talk with her, I’ll call you back later.”

Saying this, Lin Fei casually hung up on Shanshan.

A cold smirk then formed on the edges of his mouth as his tiger-like gaze refocused on Qi Wenjie, who had fallen into a daze…
