Chapter 581: Chapter 387: Showing Off, Huh? (Double Length)

"Junkai, have a seat, why are you standing there like that?" Yu Zheyu hadn’t noticed anything unusual and pulled Ding Junkai toward the booth, "Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Kang, Brother Kai, Qi..."

"No need for introductions!"

Before Yu Zheyu could finish his words, Ding Junkai interrupted him, his face turning grim as he glared at Qi Yun, gritting his teeth, "What a small world for enemies to cross paths!"

The atmosphere in the booth immediately became a bit awkward upon hearing this. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yu Zheyu’s outstretched hand froze in midair, looking bewildered as he glanced at Ding Junkai and then at Qi Yun, realizing there was something between the two.

Next to them, Young Master Kang’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward to mediate, "What’s going on, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Qi Yun didn’t say a word, just looked at Ding Junkai with a half-smile, calmly smoking a cigarette.

Ji Kai squinted, remaining silent for two seconds, then patted Qi Yun on the arm, "Brother Qi, why don’t we call it a night? I’ll take you back to the hotel to rest."

Qi Yun flicked some ash from his cigarette and, not wanting to cause more trouble, stood up and agreed, "Alright, let’s go then."

"Go!? Where do you think you’re going?" Ding Junkai stepped forward with his neck stiffened, reaching out as if to block Qi Yun and said angrily, "About that debt you tricked me on last time at Bird City, aren’t we going to settle it today?"

With that move, the already awkward atmosphere became charged with tension.

Yu Zheyu glanced at Qi Yun and then at Ding Junkai, asking, "Junkai, what’s going on?"

Ding Junkai fiercely stared at Qi Yun, "This bastard tricked me last time at Bird City." Since it wasn’t a glorious matter to be locked up in a small dark room, he didn’t go into details.

Upon hearing the word "bastard," even before Qi Yun could react, Ji Kai’s expression turned cold.

However, he didn’t direct his anger at Ding Junkai but instead looked at Yu Zheyu, saying in a deep voice, "Little Yu, is your friend drunk?"

Beside him, Young Master Kang also gave Yu Zheyu a look, signaling him to quickly take Ding Junkai away.

However, Yu Zheyu stood still, looked at the furious Ding Junkai, and then at the calm Qi Yun, frowned, and turned into a mediator, "President Qi, what’s going on exactly?"

"Maybe you should apologize to Junkai, and we can call it even?"

In his mind, his relationship with Ding Junkai definitely outweighed that with Qi Yun, whom he had known for less than an hour.

Besides, his family’s logistics business is notable nationwide, contributing ten figures in taxes to the local government each year, so naturally, he has a high opinion of himself. Even though he knew Qi Yun had some connections, he didn’t consider him an equal.

"Little Yu!" Ji Kai’s face turned dark immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yu Zheyu shrugged it off, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Qi Yun glanced at him, not inclined to argue with such a stubborn kid, he stepped forward to leave.

However, Ding Junkai was relentless, stepping forward to block the way, clearly unwilling to settle, "Think you’re leaving? Do you think this is still Bird City? If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t think you’ll leave through this door!"

The situation has now erupted into a full-blown conflict.

"Get the hell out of the way!" Ji Kai was visibly angry, this gathering was organized by him, and this fool who appeared out of nowhere was causing trouble, essentially embarrassing him.

Young Master Kang also tried to mediate, "Since everyone knows each other, there’s no need for this to escalate, Little Yu, take your friend away, and let’s resolve any misunderstandings another day."

"Why resolve it another day?" Yu Zheyu retorted, pausing before adding, "Junkai’s father is Ding Sanshi."

He felt that his two friends didn’t quite understand the situation, so he bluntly stated Ding Junkai’s background.

Hearing the name "Ding Sanshi," Young Master Kang, who was about to continue persuading, froze, and hesitated to pull at Yu Zheyu’s arm.

Although Net One Company’s influence in the north may be slightly weaker compared to other giants, in the coastal and Yangtze River Delta regions, Ding Sanshi’s early ventures in the internet and e-commerce industries gave him an extensive network and resources, making him a distinguished guest wherever he went.

Ji Kai’s face also showed a hint of uneasiness, but it didn’t change his decision as he said sternly again, "Let’s call it a night! If this drags on, don’t blame me for not showing kindness!"

Ding Junkai ignored his warning, pulling out his phone, ready to call people over.

Yu Zheyu was also dissatisfied with Ji Kai’s stance, "Brother Kai, are you taking sides?"

"I..." Ji Kai was about to say something, but Qi Yun raised a hand to stop him.

A smirk played on his lips, and after putting out his cigarette butt with a stomp, he suddenly did something no one expected to see.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Crisp slaps landed on Ding Junkai’s face, making the booth eerily silent.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Qi Yun to lay a hand on anyone.

Even Ji Kai, who had been tense, widened his eyes.

In their circle, a quarrel might not be a big deal, but publicly slapping someone was definitely a major affront.

In these social scenes, it’s all about maintaining face, and with those slaps, Qi Yun had essentially ground Ding Junkai’s dignity into the floor.

Ding Junkai held his face, stunned for a full three seconds before reacting, his eyes now burning red with anger, "You damn well slapped me again!?"

"I’m going to kill you today!!!"

Having said that, he lunged at Qi Yun like a madman, but was firmly held back by the now-recovered Young Master Kang.

Among everyone present, he was definitely the most afraid of the situation blowing up.

Because offending either Qi Yun or Net One Company meant a loss for Shanghai.

"Calm down! Young Master Ding! Don’t be impulsive!" He was sweating profusely, dragging Ding Junkai backward with effort.

Yu Zheyu’s face also turned grim, regardless of anything, Ding Junkai was a friend he brought along. To have his friend humiliated like this left him in a tough spot.

"Qi Yun, don’t you think you’ve gone too far!?"

"You..."

"Shut the hell up!" Qi Yun suddenly turned to glare at him, his tone hostile, "Keep mouthing off, and I’ll take care of you too."

Yu Zheyu was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to react.

Did this guy really dare to speak to him that way?

As a top-tier second-generation rich kid in their circle, he certainly couldn’t tolerate this.

Yet, faced with Qi Yun’s cold gaze, he suddenly felt a bit intimidated... opening his mouth several times but failing to utter a word.

Unnoticed, with his change in status and his increasing interactions with top figures, Qi Yun had naturally developed an air of authority.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he sat back down on the sofa, lit another cigarette, and casually said to Ding Junkai, "I’m giving you a chance, I’ll wait right here, let’s see what you’ve got."

With such a dismissive posture, Qi Yun completely ignited Ding Junkai’s fury, who pushed Young Master Kang away with a sneer of rage, "Fine! Acting all superior huh? Let’s see how long you can keep it up!"

Leaving those words, he started calling reinforcements.

Seeing this, Ji Kai didn’t mention leaving again and silently returned to sit beside Qi Yun, lighting a cigarette from his pack as well.

Only Young Master Kang was sweating profusely from anxiety.

He glanced at the menacing Yu Zheyu and then moved beside Qi Yun, quietly advising, "President Qi, I think it might be better to let it go, everyone knows each other, there’s no need for things to get this tense, plus Ding Sanshi..."

Before he could finish, Qi Yun understood what he meant and chuckled indifferently, "No worries, you don’t need to get involved."

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Qi Yun, Young Master Kang turned his gaze to Ji Kai, "Brother Kai..."

Ji Kai also remained silent, keeping a composed face.

Young Master Kang stood still for a few seconds before finally sighing helplessly and turning aside to make a phone call.

He needed to inform his father of what was happening here, otherwise, if something serious occurred, it would be difficult to handle.

After Young Master Kang left, Ji Kai leaned in closer and asked softly, "Brother Qi, should I make a call too?"

Qi Yun shook his head, "No need."

Though he didn’t understand why this guy he had known for only a day was supporting him so much, he didn’t want to owe him a favor rashly.

Besides, it wasn’t necessary.
