“What do you mean?” Chen Chao was a bit confused and had not quite understood.
“‘A sudden wind stirs and wrinkles a pool of spring water, what does it have to do with you?’” A girl nearby explained.
“What he means is, it is none of your bloody business! Hehehe.” Another girl covered her face and laughed.
This immediately made Chen Chao and Young Master Liu lose face.
“You are so ugly, you should read more books. Otherwise you just look even uglier.” Luo Chen sneered coldly. His words instantly caused a burst of laughter from the girls around them.
“Stop fucking showing off your classical Chinese here. Who do you think you are?” Young Master Liu immediately cursed.
He usually hung around a group of rich second-generation and official second-generation kids. He had long developed an attitude of looking down on ordinary people. Hearing Luo Chen dare to insult him, he instantly exploded with anger.
“And you, a country bumpkin sneaking into this kind of high-end gathering, yet you still dare to act wild here.” Chen Chao also accused him.
“Say that again if you dare?” Luo Chen’s face suddenly darkened.
“What is going on?”
Just as Luo Chen was getting angry, the manager in charge of this area finally arrived.
“Manager Li, I think this kid sneaked into this high-end gathering and should be thrown out.” Young Master Liu pointed at Luo Chen with a cold, continuous sneer. He knew the good show was about to begin.
Manager Li had extremely powerful backing for this auction. Even they did not dare offend him. He wanted to see how Luo Chen would handle this later.
“Yes, Manager Li, ask him if he has an invitation. If he does not, throw him out!” Chen Chao fanned the flames from the side.
Manager Li looked at Chen Chao and Young Master Liu. He more or less knew their backgrounds. These two were people he could not afford to offend and did not dare to offend. But when he glanced at Luo Chen’s clothes, they did not seem like those of someone important or powerful. After weighing things up, he spoke.
“Um, young gentlemen, why do you not go over there to calm down first? It was our oversight. Leave this matter to me to handle.”
Then Manager Li turned to Luo Chen and spoke coldly.
“Sir, sorry, but please show your invitation.”
“Oh? On what grounds? Just because those two said a few words, I have to show my invitation?” Luo Chen replied coldly.
“Sorry, sir, but that is the rule.” Manager Li frowned as he spoke. This young man was really not appreciating the favour.
“Do they have invitations?” Luo Chen asked again.
“Sir, their status is special, and it has nothing to do with you. What I am saying now is about you. Please show your invitation.”
“They do not have to show invitations, so why should I?” Luo Chen countered.
“Sorry, if you do not have an invitation, then I will have to ask you to leave.” Manager Li did not want to waste more words with Luo Chen and directly issued the eviction order.
“Fine.” To everyone’s surprise, Luo Chen simply stood up and really walked out.
“Tch, still pretending in front of me. Pretending what?” Young Master Liu sneered mockingly as he watched this scene.
“Hey, were you not quite capable earlier? If you are so capable, do not leave!” Chen Chao wore an expression of pure gloating.
“Really thought he was somebody. In the end he still has to obediently get lost?” Young Master Liu looked extremely smug.
To make sure Luo Chen had really left, Manager Li followed behind him.
Just as he stepped out the door, Ye Zhengtian and Ye Shuangshuang happened to walk towards him.
“Mr Luo, what is this?” Ye Zhengtian found it strange to see Luo Chen coming out.
When the nearby Manager Li heard those words, his scalp instantly went numb.
He was finished.
“Oh, I was inside. This person insisted on asking me for some invitation, so I got kicked out.” Luo Chen shrugged his shoulders and spoke very calmly.
“Kicked out?” A surge of anger rushed straight to Ye Zhengtian’s head.
He had specially invited Luo Chen to help him. Although giving a sports car and a company was to win him over, it was also so that Luo Chen could help with this favour.
Now the person had gone in, only to be driven out by someone else?
He had paid such a huge price to invite this person, and now someone had the guts of a leopard to drive away his guest.
“Are you the manager here? Call your superior over to me.” Ye Zhengtian’s face changed instantly, and he was genuinely furious.
It had to be known that this auction was actually organised by their Ye family.
Yet now someone had driven out the guest personally invited by the master?
Were they trying to rebel?
In less than a minute, the overall person in charge practically ran over.
Then the overall person in charge stood in front of Ye Zhengtian.
“What is going on?” The overall person in charge was scared out of his wits. Someone had dared to drive out Old Master Ye’s guest. The audacity was insane.
Manager Li stammered for a long time, sweating coldly, and finally explained the whole matter.
After hearing it, the overall person in charge nearly lost his soul from fright.
Old Master Ye had specially invited this guest, and yet he had been driven away?
“You bloody blind dog!” The overall person in charge stepped forward and kicked Manager Li hard in the stomach, sending him tumbling down the steps.
“Sorry, really sorry, Old Ye. I never imagined my subordinate would handle things this way.”
“Teacher, sorry, it was our negligence.”
“Why are you still standing there? Apologise to the teacher.” Ye Shuangshuang’s pretty face was as cold as covered in frost.
First that fool Hong Biao had no eyes, and now after coming here, they had encountered people here who also had no eyes.
“Mr Luo, sorry, truly sorry.” The overall person in charge was covered in sweat. If this matter was not handled properly, not only might he lose his job, he could even lose his life.
“You bloody well do not need to come tomorrow.” The overall person in charge went down and kicked Manager Li in the face again.
“Forget it. Ignorance is no crime.” Luo Chen did not make too much of it, because he knew Ye Zhengtian would definitely handle this properly.
After that, Ye Zhengtian and Luo Chen went straight in. They did not go to the hall at all, but went up the stairs from the entrance to a private room on the second floor.
Meanwhile in the hall, Chen Chao and Young Master Liu were sipping red wine.
“Hmph, daring to fight with me. I will play you to death.”
“Hahaha, Young Master Liu was really impressive just now!” Chen Chao was full of flattery.
“You two little brats, behave yourselves. I heard Old Master Ye is inviting a very important figure today. Keep your eyes open and do not offend that person.” A middle-aged man wearing simple traditional Chinese clothing spoke up.
The middle-aged man had a steady demeanour and a dark, hawk-like expression, yet he carried an extraordinary aura. Clearly someone who had long held a high position.
Chen Shian, Chen Chao’s father. He used to be the deputy mayor of Tongzhou. Even though he had retired, he was still a prominent figure.
Today he had received news that Old Master Ye was inviting a very important person. Chen Shian had even prepared some gifts, hoping to establish some connection with this person whom Old Ye respected so highly.
That was why he had come to warn Chen Chao.
“Alright, Dad, we will just stay here. We will not cause you any trouble.” Chen Chao looked at Chen Shian.
“Besides, Dad, with your face and status, who would dare challenge you?”
Just as those words landed, an angry roar came from behind.
“You lot, get the hell out of here right now!” The overall person in charge came up cursing.
