"You've come here, so naturally, you should stay in the best room we have, the one at Mountain Peak. I'll have it cleaned right away, Mr. Jiang; you can move in as soon as it's ready," Lin Rumei said eagerly.
"Miss, the Mountain Peak room has already been booked by Young Master Guo. They are probably already checked in, and we can't just kick them out," the Hotel Manager interjected.
"Refund Young Master Guo double the money and ask him to leave. If he refuses, then throw him out," Lin Rumei said, her tone unapologetic. Since Jiang Chen had come to Hong Kong Island, she was determined to treat him well. Moreover, she had something to ask of him—something that only he could help her with.
"Uh, alright, I'll take care of it right away." The Hotel Manager was shocked and curious about Jiang Chen's background, wondering why his own boss valued him so highly.
Meanwhile, Lin Jingzhu's classmates were in awe of Jiang Chen. Initially, they thought he couldn't compare to Mark, but now they understood why Lin Jingzhu liked him—Jiang Chen was no ordinary person.
Mark, on the other hand, looked pale and defeated. He regretted inviting Jiang Chen to join him; he had thought Jiang Chen was just an ordinary person from a small county whom he could easily overshadow. But now, it seemed that Jiang Chen hadn't even targeted him directly yet had completely crushed him.
Since Lin Rumei was so accommodating, Jiang Chen naturally accepted her hospitality. The barbecue party continued with Lin Rumei joining in. However, her presence made the atmosphere noticeably tense; everyone felt hesitant to speak freely.
After the barbecue party ended, Lin Rumei personally led Jiang Chen to the Mountain Peak room, with Ding Yan following along. As for Lin Jingzhu and the others, it was getting late, and they returned to their rooms to rest.
The Mountain Peak room was spacious, akin to a presidential suite in a five-star hotel. With a glass ceiling overhead, one could lie on the bed and gaze at the night sky—a truly delightful experience.
"Mr. Jiang, may I ask you for a favor?" Lin Rumei said hesitantly after showing Jiang Chen to his room.
"Go ahead," Jiang Chen replied calmly.
"Tomorrow night, there will be a gathering of underground forces here on Hong Kong Island. Many Underground Bosses will attend this event known as the Hongmen Banquet. They are uniting to pressure my father into handing over territory. I'm feeling quite uneasy about it; could you accompany me?" Lin Rumei asked cautiously.
"Then let's go see what it's about," Jiang Chen said.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang!" Lin Rumei exclaimed with delight. She hadn't expected him to agree without hesitation. With Jiang Chen by her side, she felt much more confident.
"Well then, Mr. Jiang, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll have breakfast sent over tomorrow morning," Lin Rumei said respectfully before leaving.
Once she departed, only Jiang Chen and Ding Yan remained in the room.
Meanwhile, in a room halfway up the mountain, Zhou Xuemei was urging Lin Jingzhu to find Jiang Chen.
"Jingzhu, don't you feel any sense of urgency? Jiang Chen is surrounded by beautiful women; it seems he's going to stay with Miss Ding tonight! That Miss Ding has such an amazing figure; even I feel tempted as a woman—let alone a man like Jiang Chen! They can't be allowed to stay together!" Zhou Xuemei said anxiously.
"I trust Jiang Chen," Lin Jingzhu replied with a slight smile.
"I don't believe it! If you don't listen to me now, you'll definitely regret it later! Besides, I noticed that Miss Lin seems to like Jiang Chen too. What will you do then? There are too many competitors!" Zhou Xuemei lamented.
