Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Trouble in the RestaurantDone for, absolutely done for, what should I do now? Yuan Mengmeng’s heart was pounding fiercely, her cheeks as red as ripe apples, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Xuan. Having indirectly kissed Ye Xuan, this... this was so embarrassingly mortifying! However, Ye Xuan didn’t notice Yuan Mengmeng’s expression and quickly finished his breakfast in no time. Seeing that Ye Xuan hadn’t noticed, Yuan Mengmeng secretly let out a sigh of relief, and the two of them headed to the sales department before going their separate ways. Ye Xuan walked into his own private office, sat on the spacious office chair, and wriggled his bum back and forth, finding it incredibly comfortable. "Brother’s got an office of his own now." Gazing around his single-room studio, Ye Xuan smiled broadly, leaned back into the leather mahogany chair, and felt quite satisfied. Looking through the glass walls at the sales department staff outside, it seemed a bit quiet, but that didn’t matter to him; he preferred the peace. Being able to work undisturbed by others! Now that his status had changed, he had once been just a security guard, where he could be as casual as he wished, but now he was the sales manager, and he had to act the part. Besides, this was his wife’s company, and he needed to make her proud! He couldn’t keep skipping work and arriving late like before. Encouraging himself in his heart, Ye Xuan picked up a document from the desk and started to flip through it. He had not expected, just a few days after becoming the sales manager, that a client would come knocking, and not just any client, but a big one! This client was Liu Ying from Liu Group, and this document was about Liu Group. Since Lin Tong had decided to collaborate between Eastern Group and Liu Group and had entrusted the entire matter to him, he had to secure Liu Ying as a big client. Therefore, Ye Xuan needed to understand Liu Group now, to maximize benefits during negotiations. Liu Group’s headquarters was in Jianghai Province, with Jianghai as its base spreading to every province and city across the country, an industry of the Liu family of Jianghai, with total assets reaching ten billion Federation Coins! A true behemoth, it even ranked highly across the nation. Liu Group had investments in many industries, including jewelry, entertainment, real estate, cosmetics, hotel services, and more. Their main focus was the jewelry and hotel industry; the hotels were long-established under Liu Group, with the Dragon Mansion as the flagship, and they had expanded to a hundred locations nationwide. The jewelry sector was Liu Group’s new venture, currently receiving strong support, and East Sea City was their testing ground. Having been established not long before, it was personally managed by the business prodigy Liu Ying, focusing on jewelry and cosmetics, which were their priority development directions! Time flew by to noon, and Ye Xuan had finished going through the pile of documents on his desk. Standing up and stretching his body, Ye Xuan walked out of the office and called for Yuan Mengmeng and Zheng Xiaobo to join him for lunch. Eastern Group, being a large company with hundreds of employees, naturally had its own cafeteria. The cafeteria was on the fifth floor, where the entire floor had been transformed into a food court that could accommodate several hundred people. Upon entering the cafeteria, it was bustling with people and a variety of delicious foods, including dishes of different flavors. The employees could eat for free, as the welfare in Eastern Group was very good; they only needed to show their work ID. There were communal dining halls in the cafeteria as well as semi-private dining booths, elegantly decorated and cozy, making people feel hungry at a glance. Most of the people in Eastern Group were young, so every lunchtime, the cafeteria would be packed. There were handsome guys and beautiful girls all dressed up, because not only were the dishes cheap, but they also tasted good, even company executives would come here to eat. In the most conspicuous spot in the entire cafeteria, there was a separate large private room, which was exclusively for the CEO, normally no one dared to enter. Ye Xuan wondered if his wife would come here for lunch later. The three of them took over a semi-private dining booth, ordered their favorite dishes, and started eating and chatting. Thump thump thump. However, just as they were halfway through their meal, suddenly a group of people approached them. The leader was a man, probably in his mid-twenties, tall and burly, looking quite intimidating. But to Ye Xuan’s surprise, they were dressed in the Eastern Group security uniforms. They were members of the security department, and their target was precisely the private room he was in. Ye Xuan didn’t speak up; instead, Zheng Xiaobo’s face immediately turned somewhat unnatural upon seeing these individuals. Seeing the room occupied, the group was visibly taken aback. Then, the leading man stepped forward with an obviously unfriendly expression. "Zheng Xiaobo, this private room is ours, please get out immediately." The man also recognized Zheng Xiaobo and immediately revealed an arrogant expression, sneering coldly. The security guard’s words made Zheng Xiaobo’s face turn ugly, and he said with a forbearing tone, "Liu Hongfei, we were here first. On what basis are you asking us to leave? If you want to eat, please go somewhere else and don’t disturb our meal." "Zheng Xiaobo, have you grown wings? You dare to tell me to leave? It looks like you don’t want to work in the security department anymore! Who doesn’t know that this is my private room? I say roll, and you have to roll! Otherwise, don’t bother coming to work in the security department tomorrow." Liu Hongfei held his head high, nose pointed towards the sky, speaking arrogantly and dominantly. Being publicly berated by Liu Hongfei, Zheng Xiaobo’s face became even more unsightly. Unexpectedly, this Liu Hongfei was so domineering! He dared to tell them to leave, right there, claiming this was his private room. On what basis? Liu Hongfei’s voice was loud, attracting the attention of many in the restaurant, who began to gather around. "So, it’s Liu Hongfei from the security department. I’ve heard this guy is quite tyrannical; it looks like these fellows are in for some bad luck." "He’s the security manager Ma Zhitao’s nephew. He’s very arrogant in his actions, now even more so as the security captain. Nobody dares to provoke him!" "He has monopolized this private room all year round; he always comes here to dine." "Someone has taken his spot, and Liu Hongfei is looking for trouble. He definitely won’t let them off the hook!" Seeing this scene unfold, the onlookers began to discuss, pinpointing Liu Hongfei’s identity. "It’s actually the Security Captain Liu Hongfei!" Hearing the discussions around him, Ye Xuan frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He had never met this person before; though it was normal not to recognize him since he hadn’t spent much time in the security department. "Liu Hongfei, I’ll say it one more time, we were here first! Go find another private room if you need one." Zheng Xiaobo, plucking up courage, said with an unsightly expression. "Zheng Xiaobo, are you trying to oppose me?" Seeing Zheng Xiaobo still being oblivious, Liu Hongfei’s face grew darker, speaking in an unfriendly tone: "Hmph, everyone knows this is my designated private room. If you don’t want to be fired, take your people and get out now!!!" His words were arrogant and domineering! Zheng Xiaobo fell silent for a moment. As the Security Captain, Liu Hongfei was not only his direct supervisor but also a person of no simple standing—Ma Zhitao’s nephew, the security manager! He was someone who didn’t take others into account, often skipping work to mess around outside, yet still receiving the company’s salary. Zheng Xiaobo didn’t dare to offend him, but he couldn’t really give up the private room either. Being kicked out of here would be a public humiliation. How could he hold his head high after that? He was in a bind, neither able to advance nor retreat. Just as Zheng Xiaobo was hesitating and troubled, a faint voice came from his side: "This place is a public facility, and we were here first. If that’s the case, the room belongs to us. Why should we give it up to you?"
