Chapter 1309: Being Utterly Disgraced

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The car was parked in the parking lot in front of the Song Jiang International Hotel. Yang Ming waved his hand to stop the parking security guard who was coming up. He didn’t want to show his identity at this time which would lessen the impact.

He still needed to use some means to make Xu Qianxing back down.

Xu Qianxing’s Leopaard stopped at the side of Yang Ming’s car; the two vehicles were lined up. Xu Qianxing got off and complained in displeasure, “Why did we reverse our cars just now? We didn’t have to turn back. I could have solved it with just a call.”

“What for?” Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand. “Reversing the car can save ourselves from trouble, not to mention that we are not really doing official duties.”

Xu Qianxing didn’t recognize the pass on Yang Ming’s car windshield. He naturally didn’t see it in the past. He thought it was a common pass for the university or district. He thought Yang Ming’s vehicle was an ordinary civilian car, and Yang Ming was afraid to get him into trouble, so Yang Ming chose to give in. Thus, Xu Qianxing said, “Besides, my car is fine, but they will definitely not give face to your car. After all, it was commuting time just now. It’s already good that the traffic policeman gave me face, but if you didn’t reverse, you would have been detained.”

Lin Zhiyun heard it clearly. Although she was simple, she knew that if it were not because of Yang Ming, Xu Qianxing’s car would definitely have been detained.

However, Lin Zhiyun didn’t like to show off. Although she was angry, she didn’t say anything. Yang Ming naturally wouldn’t say much. He didn’t need to explain everything to Xu Qianxing. His purpose was to let Lin Zhiyun see the true face of this person so that she wouldn’t be fooled by him.

Yang Ming was also too lazy to argue with Xu Qianxing on these little things. Just let him slowly learn from his experience.

Xu Qianxing wasn’t stupid. Although he said so from his mouth, he wasn’t a dumb*ss. He was still doubtful how Yang Ming could get out safely. Therefore, he used his mobile phone to capture the pass on Yang Ming’s car’s windshield covertly. He planned to go home and ask his dad if he knew about this pass.

Of course, he also remembered Yang Ming’s car number. He planned to go back and ask his father to check with his friend in the Traffic Police Department to see if the car belonged to Yang Ming.

Xu Qianxing now regretted that since Yang Ming could afford a BMW, he must have been to the Song Jiang International Hotel. If that were the case, then there was nothing for him to show off. He became a dumb*ss for no reason. He felt a little headache, thinking that he had to spend tens of thousands yuan later; he secretly calculated whether it was cost-effective.

Xu Qianxing walked as he secretly watched Lin Zhiyun’s reaction, but he was sorely disappointed. Lin Zhiyun’s face did not reveal any expression of envy, surprise, and even love.

Lin Zhiyun was a girl with inner peace, but she was a very tender and shy girl. She was even timid to perform at the art festival, but she wasn’t nervous in this situation. What did that mean?

It can only be explained that Lin Zhiyun was a frequent visitor here, so she didn’t think that it was that fancy. Xu Qianxing felt that he had made a big mistake thinking that he shouldn’t use common sense to guess Lin Zhiyun’s family background, nor should he try to show off to attract her attention and admiration.

From Lin Zhiyun’s mobile phone previously, it could be seen that this girl’s family was definitely not bad. She was also quite calm at the Song Jiang International Hotel now. This had confirmed this fact.

Xu Qianxing felt that he had made a wrong move. His previous act of flaunting had wholly turned into a clown act which made him a little embarrassed and flushed.

The three people entered the Song Jiang International Hotel lobby together. Yang Ming was relieved that the lobby manager was not there. Yang Ming had never seen the receptionists who were at the front desk. They should be newly recruited; they also did not recognize Yang Ming.

However, since they were already here, Xu Qianxing couldn’t let Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun look down on him. If he backed down at this moment, then Lin Zhiyun’s impression of him would be worse, so Xu Qianxing had no choice but to keep pretending.

“I want a private room.” Xu Qianxing walked to the front desk and spoke to one of the receptionists.

“Sir, have you made a booking?” The receptionist looked up and asked very kindly.

“No, can’t I make a booking now?” asked Xu Qianxing.

“I’m sorry, sir. Now, it is time to eat. If there is no booking, there is no private room.” He shook his head apologetically.

Xu Qianxing was ashamed at being rejected, but the receptionist spoke nicely, so he couldn’t be angry. Moreover, he also heard his father said that Song Jiang International Hotel’s background was very powerful; there seemed to be a large group behind it. Even his father couldn’t afford to offend.

“Never mind if you don’t have a private room. It’s the same to eat in the dining room.” Yang Ming didn’t mind if there was no private room; he smiled and said.

“Yeah, it’s fine to eat in the dining room.” Lin Zhiyun also nodded and added.

Xu Qianxing initially thought that he could go along with Yang Ming’s words to eat in the dining room, but Xu Qianxing was unwilling to submit after listening to Lin Zhiyun’s words. It seemed that Lin Zhiyun looked down on him in his ears. Xu Qianxing’s spirit was lifted instead.

“Is your lobby manager here? I know him.” Xu Qianxing said to the receptionist.

Most people who came here had backgrounds, so the receptionist looked at Xu Qianxing. He didn’t dare to offend Xu Qianxing, so he said, “Mister, wait a moment; I will call him for you.”

Xu Qianxing nodded and agreed, standing by and waiting for the receptionist to make the call.

The call was connected; the receptionist said a few words. The general message was that a few guests came and wanted to see him, so the receptionist waited for him to come over.

After listening to the receptionist making a phone call, Xu Qianxing let go of his heart. His father often ate here, so the lobby manager would definitely give him face. Therefore, he said to Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun, “My father knows the lobby manager here. I will ask him to give us a private room in a while. How can we eat in the dining room? Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for us to talk.”

Yang Ming smiled and said nothing. He blamed Xu Qianxing for being meddlesome. Yang Ming was afraid that after the lobby manager came, he would recognize Yang Ming, then Xu Qianxing would know some things about Yang Ming. Yang Ming prepared to tell him everything at the end. By telling Yang Ming’s identity to him only after he experienced a series of things, then it would truly deter him. Otherwise, the deterrence wouldn’t be enough. If he kept pestering Lin Zhiyun, Yang Ming really didn’t have the time to entertain him.

Before Yang Ming could say anything, he saw the lobby manager coming out of an office on the side. Just as Yang Ming wanted to speak to shut the mouth of the lobby manager, Xu Qianxing opened his mouth first.

“Manager, hello, I am Xu Yimin’s son, the mining company president…” Xu Qianxing saw that the lobby manager strode toward him quickly, and he knew that he was really being taken seriously! Therefore, he also walked forward, wanting to shake hands enthusiastically with the lobby manager.

However, it was unfortunate that the lobby manager didn’t even bother with him, but he ran past Xu Qianxing and went straight to Yang Ming who was behind him. “Mr. Yang, you are here!”

“I…” Yang Ming was really a little dumbfounded. He thought, Xu Qianxing is calling you over there, but you didn’t care about him. I don’t want to bother, but you just walked straight to me. What is going on?

Xu Qianxing’s expression was solidified, and he was stunned; his face was full of displeasure and embarrassment. He was ignored! He was completely ignored! He went to flatter the lobby manager, but he was ignored ruthlessly.

How capable is that Yang Ming? He was enthusiastically greeted by the lobby manager instead? Xu Qianxing couldn’t catch his breath. Is this the second time… or the third time, if the time we were stopped by the traffic police is counted.

He had been humiliated three times by Yang Ming. Perhaps it wasn’t Yang Ming humiliating him on purpose, but he brought shame upon himself. Every time he wanted to act like a bad*ss in front of Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun, and he wanted to show his charm and ability, Yang Ming ruthlessly snatched the limelight.

Yang Ming repeatedly gave the lobby manager eye signals, but the lobby manager only reacted after a while. He turned around and looked at Xu Qianxing. “Oh, Young Master Xu is here.”

Although the lobby manager smiled at him, Xu Qianxing did not have the kind of pleasure of being mighty at all. He felt very ashamed instead. No matter how the lobby manager treated him now, what happened just now was just rooted in Xu Qianxing’s heart. It was as if a thorn were stabbed into Xu Qianxing’s heart.

No matter what, Yang Ming’s position in the lobby manager’s mind was far higher than Xu Qianxing, so Xu Qianxing’s face was utterly disgraced today.

“I’ve brought friends to eat… Mr. Yang whom you know. I want a private room, but the receptionist said that there is no room without a reservation. What do you think?” Although he was very embarrassed, he still had to say it. Xu Qianxing took a deep breath and asked.

” Hehe , isn’t it just a private room? It’s easy.” The lobby manager came to the receptionist who made the call and said to him, “Little Zhao, see which private room is available. Give them a room in a good environment.”

“Yes.” The receptionist, Little Zhao, quickly logged onto the computer and checked it. He looked up and said not long after, “Manager, there are no customers in Room 2108 on the second floor, and the environment is the best.”

“Then, 2108 it is. Is Young Master Xu satisfied with it?” The lobby manager smiled and asked Xu Qianxing.

Xu Qianxing didn’t know which private room was good, but since the receptionist said that 2108 was the best, how could he have another opinion? What’s more, now it was hard to say whether the lobby manager was giving face to Xu Qianxing or Yang Ming. Xu Qianxing only wanted to go up and eat quickly; he didn’t want to say much.

“Okay, then, 2108 it is.” Xu Qianxing nodded.

“I will bring you up.” As the lobby manager, he looked at Yang Ming again, as if he was asking Yang Ming’s opinion again. Not until Yang Ming nodded helplessly did the lobby manager move.

Xu Qianxing naturally noticed these tiny little details. Xu Qianxing was completely desperate. It seemed that the lobby manager was looking for a private room for them because of Yang Ming’s face. It was only a courtesy that he asked Xu Qianxing if he were satisfied. The person he was asking was actually Yang Ming. The lobby manager only brought them up after seeing Yang Ming nod.

Moreover, it was a very glorious thing to be brought upstairs by the lobby manager personally. Even his father couldn’t enjoy this treatment, but now Xu Qianxing wasn’t happy at all, and he felt very embarrassed instead.

All of this seemed to be directed at his face, but in fact, it was directed at Yang Ming. How could this not make him jealous?

Finally, when they went into the private room, Xu Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Ming also noticed him being uncomfortable. He initially wanted to give him a deterrence, but now, it seemed unlikely. This guy would be very cautious from now on.

The lobby manager naturally had other things to do, and he also saw that Yang Ming didn’t want him to stay here, so he left after bringing them upstairs. He let a waiter come in to take the order.

The successive failures made Xu Qianxing somewhat interested. He lost his face several times in front of Yang Ming, and Xu Qianxing felt anxious. He picked up the menu, but he didn’t know what to order. He had lost his demeanor as the Student Council president. He simply flipped through the menu, then he pushed the menu to Yang Ming and said, “Let’s order.”

Yang Ming didn’t ask Lin Zhiyun; he knew clearly what Lin Zhiyun loved to eat. He ordered a few dishes that he and Lin Zhiyun loved to eat. Yang Ming had been busy for an afternoon without eating anything, so he naturally had to eat more.

Listening to the dishes ordered by Yang Ming, Xu Qianxing’s eyes bulged out. Did I hear it right? Big lobster, big crab, how much does it cost?

In fact, these dishes were very expensive, but the cost of production wasn’t much. Yang Ming came here to eat which was the same as spending his own money, so he was just paying the cost in the end. He wouldn’t be distressed, so he ordered something that he and Lin Zhiyun loved to eat.

Since Yang Ming didn’t even think about letting Xu Qianxing pay the bill, Yang Ming just wanted to fool him around. Yang Ming knew that the lobby manager would definitely not charge him, so he didn’t need to save money for Xu Qianxing.

However, Xu Qianxing didn’t know this. His heart was palpitating when he heard Yang Ming’s order. Wasn’t Yang Ming trying to scam him? He knew the consumption level here. The dishes that Yang Ming ordered, at least, cost around thirty to forty thousand yuan. How could he be able to afford it?

But now, if he asked Yang Ming not to order these dishes, it would seem that he was too stingy. He wanted to treat, but he couldn’t afford it. Wasn’t this a joke?

Finally, after Yang Ming finished ordering the food, Xu Qianxing’s heart was also bleeding. Xu Qianxing sighed a relief, but Yang Ming returned the menu to Xu Qianxing and said, “I have finished ordering. See what you want to order?”

“I…” How could Xu Qianxing dare to order anything else? He roughly calculated what Yang Ming ordered; it cost at least fifty thousand yuan. Xu Qianxing would not dare to order more, and he quickly squeaked, “Then, that’s all. I think these are enough. Right, Lin Zhiyun, what do you want?”

Only Yang Ming was ordering just now; Lin Zhiyun didn’t even speak. Although Xu Qianxing was distressed, this meal was for Lin Zhiyun, so he suddenly remembered that if Lin Zhiyun didn’t order, wasn’t that treating Yang Ming only?

Therefore, even if his heart was bleeding, and he was reluctant, he had to ask Lin Zhiyun to order a few more dishes. Xu Qianxing gritted his teeth; he decided to go back and apply for the expenses to pursue a girl with his father. His father was also urging him to find a girlfriend. If he used this reason to ask for money, his father still had to pay, right?

Xu Qianxing’s family was wealthy. In fact, these few ten thousand yuan were not a big deal for his family, but his family being rich didn’t mean that Xu Qianxing had a lot of pocket money. Therefore, Xu Qianxing’s heart could only bleed.

After he came around to the idea, as long as he spent it to pursue a girl, he believed that his father would give him a large sum of money, and Xu Qianxing wouldn’t feel distressed. His expression seemed to calm down with a smile as he handed the menu to Lin Zhiyun.

“I don’t have to… Yang Ming has ordered all the dishes I eat.” Lin Zhiyun shook her head, rejected Xu Qianxing’s proposal, and returned the menu to the waiter who took their order.

Lin Zhiyun didn’t order anymore, but it saved Xu Qianxing a sum of money. However, Xu Qianxing was a little unhappy. Yang Ming actually knows Lin Zhiyun’s preference?

Then, it explains that it isn’t Yang Ming’s first time coming out to eat with Lin Zhiyun; they should have had meals together many times, so they know each other’s eating habits clearly. Then what is the relationship between Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun?

Thinking of this, Xu Qianxing had some headaches. Could it be what I thought? Yang Ming even wanted to have an affair since he had a girlfriend? Xu Qianxing’s face was very ugly. Lin Zhiyun seemed to quite like Yang Ming too. This was what made Xu Qianxing most annoyed.

There were a lot of flies around beautiful women, but only a few who could really fall on the beauty. However, Yang Ming had become one of them, and he was very close to Lin Zhiyun. How could Xu Qianxing not worry?

Xu Qianxing felt that it was necessary to remind Lin Zhiyun, but it would be awkward to tell her directly. He had to start with another topic first, then it wouldn’t seem so deliberate.

Xu Qianxing had an idea after a slight hesitation. “Yang Ming, have you thought of what to perform in the art festival? You agreed to it at noon. You must know that I’m using my pocket-money to invite you to perform. This errand of the Student Council president isn’t really easy!”

” Hehe , I haven’t thought of what to perform. Isn’t there a few more days?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I will go back and discuss with Zhiyun. If I really don’t have any idea, we can just perform together.”

“Perform together?” Xu Qianxing’s face suddenly showed a strange expression. He thought, Y ou even want to perform with Lin Zhiyun? No way. Isn’t that giving you a chance to get closer to Lin Zhiyun?
