After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 121: You Dare Threaten Me?!

By then, I hope nothing happens to you, Mr. Lobby Manager!

Lu Dong’s face instantly darkened. He had held a significant position here for many years, and this was the first time he had ever been threatened by some young troublemaker? Although he was just an employee, he certainly wasn’t some nobody. After all, it wasn’t as if just any riffraff could get a job at the Bistro. Besides, he was undeniably a member of the management team. Surely, that made him a social elite, right?

"Bingqing, that brat is infuriating," Lu Dong fumed. "No, I have to get her thrown out today. Otherwise, I’ll have no authority at all as the lobby manager!"

He angrily waved over two security guards, ordering them to keep a close eye on Lu Feiyan.

Lu Feiyan crossed her arms. "You don’t need to watch me. I wasn’t planning on going in anyway." Since Shen Fanyun had arranged for her to dine here, she must be one of the Bistro’s honored guests. She refused to believe a mere lobby manager would dare to ruin a guest’s evening.

"Hmph, does she really think she’s somebody?" Lu Dong snorted. He then turned to Xu Bingqing. "Bingqing, let’s go inside. Boss Wang rarely visits Hangcheng City, and he’s on a tight schedule. He might even be returning to Capital City tonight. We can’t show up after he’s already gone."

Xu Bingqing was still hesitant. Would stopping Lu Feiyan like this cause trouble? On second thought, Boss Wang’s business was more important.

"Alright." Xu Bingqing nodded, signaling for Lu Dong to lead the way.

For years, she had dreamed of becoming a star. With her great figure and attractive face, her future would be limitless if she could just catch his eye. She was no Li Qiuchan. By marrying Han Feng—a top-tier wealthy heir and the undisputed Prince Long of Hangcheng City—Li Qiuchan had secured a lifetime of wealth and luxury. As for her, Xu Bingqing, she wasn’t that lucky. Besides, she wasn’t particularly interested in heirs who were a step down from Han Feng. She’d rather forge her own path. She’d heard that Wang Tuohai, the big boss of Jinhai Records, had made a sudden visit to Hangcheng City. She didn’t know why, but a man like him represented a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xu Bingqing knew that showing up uninvited to ask for a meeting was rather forward, but she had to try. Who knew? Maybe Wang Tuohai would see her boldness not as rudeness, but as a sign of courage, confidence, and ambition.

"Is my makeup okay today?" Xu Bingqing asked Lu Dong.

Lu Dong gave her a thumbs-up. "Beautiful. So beautiful that any man who sees you will instantly fall head over heels, hopelessly drawn to you."

"Oh, cut it out," Xu Bingqing said with a small smile, taking the opportunity to touch up her makeup.

Shen Fanyun was chatting with Wang Tuohai.

Wang Tuohai was a very talkative man. After a couple of drinks, he held forth on all sorts of topics, even leaning in to quietly mention that a new high-end club had recently opened in Capital City. The membership fee alone started at 5,000,000. A restriction like that completely barred ordinary people from entry.

"The girls inside are all in their early twenties, and so succulent you could practically squeeze water from them," he said. "On top of that, they’re all highly intelligent and well-educated. It’s a whole different kind of experience."

It was clear Wang Tuohai was an unabashed old lecher, his face filled with enjoyment as he spoke of such things. Still, it was a case of mutual consent, so there was nothing more to be said.

"Mr. Shen, how about it? After we finish our drinks tonight, we can take my helicopter back to Capital City to experience it for ourselves," Wang Tuohai grinned slyly, leaning close to Shen Fanyun’s ear to whisper his suggestion. "I’ll have you back here by tomorrow."

Shen Fanyun’s eyes lit up. So that was an option! A private helicopter certainly made things much more convenient.

Seeing Shen Fanyun’s silence, Wang Tuohai tried another suggestion. "Or... I could send the helicopter back right now to pick up a few ladies and have them air-dropped over?"

What? They could be air-dropped? This old lecher Wang Tuohai was truly a master of his craft, thinking of every last detail!

Shen Fanyun coughed, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Wang Tuohai’s eyes twinkled as he grinned. "We’re all men here. If a man isn’t a bit promiscuous, he’s wasting his life. It’s not about love or catching feelings. It’s just a bit of fun. Mr. Shen, are you having reservations?"

What a joke. He, Shen Fanyun, was a gentleman. How could he possibly be interested in women from such establishments?

"I hear they’re all professionally trained," Wang Tuohai coaxed. "Techniques, positions... there’s nothing you can imagine that they can’t do."

Shen Fanyun was utterly baffled.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Wang Tuohai used the interruption to change the subject.

"Mr. Wang, good evening," Lu Dong said as he entered, bowing deferentially. "This is a new specialty from our kitchen, on the house. Please, you and your friend enjoy."

Wang Tuohai responded with a noncommittal grunt. "Just put it over there."

Following Lu Dong was Xu Bingqing. From her angle, she didn’t notice Shen Fanyun at first.

"Mr. Wang," Lu Dong added, "this friend of mine has admired you for a long time. Since she happened to be dining here as well, she wanted to come over and offer you a toast."

Wang Tuohai raised an eyebrow. He preferred to dine in private and was actually quite put off by strangers suddenly appearing to offer drinks. But with Shen Fanyun present, he couldn’t throw a fit.

Seeing that Wang Tuohai neither refused nor accepted, Lu Dong sensed an opening. At his unspoken cue, Xu Bingqing immediately flashed a wide smile and moved closer.

"Mr. Wang, I’ve heard of your great name for so long. For me, Xu Bingqing, to be able to offer you a toast is an honor of a lifetime!" she said fawningly.

Shen Fanyun was just pulling out his phone to ask Lu Feiyan why she hadn’t arrived yet when he suddenly heard the name "Xu Bingqing."

Hmm?

The next second, their eyes met.

In contrast to Shen Fanyun’s calm expression, Xu Bingqing’s eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and the color drained from her face.

"You’re here too?" Xu Bingqing blurted out. This was completely unexpected, yet the shock was mingled with a sense of relief. So this guy really was at the Bistro.

"You two know each other?" Wang Tuohai asked, puzzled. "Since you know each other, why not join us for a meal?" He assumed they were on good terms. Thinking she was likely Shen Fanyun’s friend, he naturally had to be accommodating.

I can join them for a meal? Xu Bingqing was ecstatic. To have dinner with such a prominent figure... This is an opportunity I might not get again in my entire life!

Lu Dong was equally delighted. Without a second thought, he urged, "Bingqing, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and take a seat!"

Xu Bingqing was so excited, so thrilled, that she completely forgot about the conflict between her and Shen Fanyun. The two of them could hardly be considered friends. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Without another word, she started to pull out a chair to sit down.

"That’s Feiyan’s seat," Shen Fanyun said coolly. "If you want to sit, find another one."

Lu Feiyan?

Xu Bingqing’s hand, which had been moving, suddenly froze.
