Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: The Inescapable Destiny

“Brother Wang, I’m in a bit of trouble…”

“Xiao Wei? Sorry, I have something important to handle right now. I’ll talk to you once I’m done.”

Xiao Wei didn’t even have a chance to speak before the call was disconnected.

“Finished calling?” Zhou Xiong looked at the slightly stupefied Xiao Wei with a teasing expression, finding it amusing at heart. These women really think they’re so important, but which man would foolishly stick out his neck for them?

Xiao Wei had just called Wang Dadong, but Wang Dadong had important matters to attend to and hung up straight away.

Xiao Wei quietly put away her phone, showing a self-mocking smile on her face.

She was just a woman of humble status, yet she had deluded herself into hoping Wang Dadong would help her.

The last time Wang Dadong helped her was merely incidental while he was helping Gu Han.

How laughable it was to think Wang Dadong would care about her—just getting someone to pull strings and land her a job ought to be enough.

With this in mind, Xiao Wei’s heart turned cold once more.

When she entered this line of work, her heart had already turned cold, yet encountering Wang Dadong had rekindled it.

But today…

She was just a KTV waitress; though she knew many people, who among them would truly help her?

Even if some men had said they’d help her, they more likely had ulterior motives, and nothing more.

Even if someone was truly willing to help her, it was impossible they’d offend Zhou Xiong for her.

This was a fate she couldn’t resist.

“Brother Xiong, what do you want me to do?” Xiao Wei said expressionlessly, her eyes devoid of any light.

“I want you to kneel!”

Xiao Wei trembled slightly. Kneeling wasn’t a big deal—hadn’t she often knelt before men in the past?

But today, she felt a deep sadness.

As soon as Xiao Wei kneeled, the door to the private room was kicked open with a bang.

“Who the hell is so ill-mannered as not to knock before entering?”

Xiao Wei turned her head and saw a young man walking in.

It was the KTV manager!

“Xiao Wei, stand up!” The man addressed Xiao Wei.

Seeing the man, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Wei’s face; she hadn’t expected the manager to come.

She was just about to stand when the bodyguard pressed her back down.

“Did I tell you to get up?” the bodyguard said rudely.

Just as the manager was about to speak, Zhou Xiong interjected, “Do you think you can protect her?”

Only then did the manager notice Zhou Xiong sitting on the sofa, and his expression changed instantly.

He knew Zhou Xiong, who was once an unknown little figure, but had suddenly become a small leader of Fire Dragon, elevating his status greatly.

Even as a KTV manager, he couldn’t stop Zhou Xiong.

If he angered Zhou Xiong, he would be unfortunate too.

Seeing Wu Ming silent, Zhou Xiong’s pride grew even more. He laughed and said, “Wu Ming, weren’t you always boasting before, kicking me out of the KTV? Why aren’t you doing it now?”

Wu Ming said with a troubled expression, “Zhou Xiong, our waitresses are just here to sing and drink. Please go easy on them.”

“Haha, I don’t know what going easy means, Wu Ming. Today I’ll make your waitress kneel right in front of you; let’s see if you can stop me!” Zhou Xiong laughed triumphantly.

“If he can’t stop you, what about me?” At this moment, a deep voice sounded.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a Tang suit, slowly walked into the private room.

Upon seeing the man, both Wu Ming and Zhou Xiong were stunned.

“Who the hell are you?” The bodyguard seemed not to recognize the man and cursed directly.

“Shut up!” Zhou Xiong quickly scolded his bodyguard, “Are you blind as a bat? This is Mr. Liu Qingfeng!”

No matter how arrogant Zhou Xiong was, he dared not provoke the man before him.

“Mr. Liu, what brings you here?” Zhou Xiong asked with a flattering look.

Though their forces opposed each other, the gap in levels was too wide for Zhou Xiong to act recklessly.

Liu Qingfeng ignored Zhou Xiong and asked Wu Ming, “Is she Xiao Wei?”

Wu Ming nodded; he naturally recognized Liu Qingfeng because Liu Qingfeng was the owner here.

However, Liu Qingfeng was one of Sanhe’s top figures and rarely came to this place, so why would he suddenly appear here?

Suddenly, a rather incredible idea popped into Wu Ming’s mind.

Could President Liu have come to help Xiao Wei?

How was this possible?

Xiao Wei was merely a waitress, living at the bottom rung, and Liu Qingfeng was at the very top of Jiangdu City’s pyramid.

Upon receiving Wu Ming’s confirmation, Liu Qingfeng walked straight to Xiao Wei and said, “Apologies, Miss Xiao Wei, I arrived late.”

Liu Qingfeng’s words left Wu Ming and Zhou Xiong stunned.

What kind of joke was this? This was one of Sanhe Club’s top figures, yet he was being so respectful to a waitress. This had to be a dream!

Zhou Xiong pinched himself hard, the searing pain proving this was not a dream.

Xiao Wei was petrified, unable to believe what she was seeing. These were top figures—she never dared hope to speak with them, much less have them treat her with such courtesy.

From the look in Liu Qingfeng’s eyes, it was clear he didn’t regard her as just a waitress; he treated her as an equal, at the very least.

“Miss Xiao Wei, you needn’t be afraid; it’s a higher-up who sent me here.” Liu Qingfeng smiled pleasantly, seeing Xiao Wei unresponsive.

“Higher-up?” Xiao Wei lifted her head and asked in confusion.
