CLANG!!

The middle-aged man was very strong, far beyond what a young girl could withstand. The girl at the counter was struck so hard that she collapsed to the ground, knocking over several objects.

The sudden turn of events once again stirred up a commotion in the hall of the Red Plank Pavilion. Many people turned their eyes towards the scene.

Some had thought to stand up for the girl at the counter, but upon noticing that the middle-aged man also held a Supreme VIP Black Card, they became hesitant. They dared not step forward.

Those with such black cards were either extremely wealthy or highly influential! They were not the kind of people ordinary folks could afford to provoke. It was better to mind one's own business.

Thus, no one actually stepped forward. In fact, there wasn't even a whisper of protest. Most people chose to ignore the situation, pretending they saw nothing, and kept their heads down, quietly grilling their meat.

People are, after all, mostly selfish. Each one sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, caring not for the frost on their neighbor's roof.

"Sir, sir, please calm down. What seems to be the problem?" The manager of the Red Plank Pavilion, a middle-aged woman who still possessed a mature charm, rushed out quickly. She approached the middle-aged man with a kindly face. "I'm so sorry, sir! Our Li is just a student working here during her summer vacation; she's not very professional. If there's any way we've fallen short, please be patient with us."

At that moment, the counter girl struggled to her feet, her left cheek covered by her hand. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and her teeth bit her red lips. She looked at the middle-aged man, then at the manager, and said, "I'm sorry, Manager. I'm sorry, I..."

SLAP!!

The middle-aged man slapped the counter girl again, this time on her right cheek, knocking her back to the ground with unbridled fury and complete disregard.

"AH!!" The girl was struck down again. This time, her arm slammed against the nearby cabinet, causing excruciating pain. She collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down her face as she began to weep.

SOB... SOB... SOB...

This girl was now overwhelmed with distress. She was actually just a sophomore in college, from a family with difficult financial conditions. She had taken this part-time job during the summer holidays to earn money for tuition and ease the financial pressure on her family. She never expected to encounter such an incident.

"Crying? What the fuck are you crying for, you bitch!" the middle-aged man cursed. He then used the black card to slap the manager's face. "You're the manager here, right? What kind of servers are you hiring? Do you know what this card represents?"

Being slapped in the face with a bank card was an outright insult!

However, the manager, a woman in her forties with workplace experience, could endure much more than the counter girl. Even in this situation, she maintained a smile and said, "Sir, this is a Supreme VIP Black Card. It certainly entitles you to our most premium services."

"Then why did this little bitch you hired claim I couldn't go to the Sky Room?" the middle-aged man demanded, jabbing the manager's forehead with the card, his voice sharp. "Do you have any idea for whom I'm booking the room? Ever heard of Feiteng Film and Television Group? The president and several important partners are coming here to discuss a film project worth hundreds of millions! If this gets screwed up, can you afford to compensate for it?!"

The manager's expression turned resentful. Even the most composed person would feel anger when faced with such humiliating treatment, yet she continued to bear it with a smile. "Sir, I'm very sorry. Just ten minutes ago, the Sky Room had already been reserved. That customer is also a holder of a Supreme VIP Black Card," she explained gracefully and professionally.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man grunted, glanced towards the Sky Room, and furrowed his brows. Then, he sneered, "Interesting. I'd like to see who dares to cut me off!"

With that, he started walking towards the Sky Room.

"Sir, please, you really can't!" The manager hurriedly stepped in front of him. She had thought stating the facts would make the man back down. After all, the holder of a Supreme VIP Black Card couldn't be someone ordinary. She hadn't expected this middle-aged man to be so brazen and intent on barging in.

"Get out of the way!" The man scoffed coldly, not slowing his steps. He raised his hand and slapped the manager across the face, knocking her to the ground. "Damn it!" he scorned. "Does any piece of trash dare to block my, He Wei's, path? Get out of my way!"

Without a second glance at the manager on the floor, he headed directly towards the Sky Room.

At this moment, the manager was stunned. She stared blankly at the middle-aged man's back, her eyes filled with fear.

He Wei! The middle-aged man was actually He Wei! No wonder he was so arrogant!

Some of the surrounding patrons had also heard the middle-aged man's words. They shuddered involuntarily, their faces showing disbelief.

He Wei! That man was actually He Wei!

"He Wei, the founder and CEO of WeiWu Security Company! My god, this guy is ruthless! That young man with the black card is probably doomed!"

"He Wei has more than three thousand security guards under him. It's said that a billionaire who offended him was beaten half to death and left paralyzed. He's still lying in the hospital!"

"They say He Wei has a very strong background, possibly connected to the Du family, one of the Four Great Families. Nobody dares to provoke him! That's why he's so brazen!"

"It's over, it's all over! That kid's definitely finished. Tsk tsk, I guess the two beauties with him are going to suffer too! Sigh..."

Many people were murmuring amongst themselves. Many in Dongpu District, Tianhai, knew of He Wei's fearsome reputation, but few, if any, had actually seen him. No one ever thought they would encounter him here, especially under these circumstances!

"Manager, what—what should we do?" the counter girl came over. Her eyes were brimming with tears, but she endured her grievance as she helped the manager up. "That's He Wei! We—we can't afford to offend him!"

"He Wei... We indeed can't afford to provoke such a ruthless person." The manager gritted her teeth and said, "However, we can't let our customers get hurt. Xiao Li, get a few people. We'll go take a look."

She had strong professional ethics; she couldn't bear to see customers mistreated or harmed in her establishment. Even if the other party was He Wei, he shouldn't be allowed to act so recklessly!

「 」

Meanwhile, in the Sky Room, the dishes had almost all been served.

For Qin Heng, price was no object, so he had ordered the most expensive dishes, filling an entire rack with various meats, vegetables, and fruits. Whether it was meat or produce, all of it was top-of-the-line, the highest grade, and the freshest available.

Xia Shuang was stunned. Some of the dishes cost at least fifty thousand yuan, far beyond what an ordinary girl like her could imagine.

Wen Du and Fang Quan were also a bit dazed.

Spending fifty or sixty thousand yuan just for a meal? What kind of spending level is this! Does he own a mine?

Wu Yuqing's expression didn't change much, but when she looked at Qin Heng, there was an added sparkle in her eyes.

"Please, feel free. This is my treat," Qin Heng said with a smile. "I heard from Ran Ran that the steak here is very tender and the lamb chops are excellent. Everyone should try them."

BANG!

Just then, a loud crash erupted. The door to the private room was kicked open, and He Wei strode in, his face cold. He glanced at Qin Heng and the others, his eyes flashing with disdain.

Damn it, just a few young punks! Rich brats! Worthless! These two beauties, on the other hand, aren't bad!

With that, he kicked out, overturning the rack beside them, which was laden with meats, fruits, and vegetables! The delicacies Qin Heng had personally selected scattered all over the floor.

Everyone was stunned. They stared in utter surprise at the middle-aged man who had suddenly burst in.

He Wei tilted his head slightly and pointed at Qin Heng, Wen Du, and Fang Quan. In a commanding tone, as if addressing servants, he said, "You three idiots, get the hell out of here right now! The two beauties can stay!"
