"Hey, what brings you here?" Fei Hu stood up, a bit surprised.
Bald Zhang was also taken aback by the appearance of the Boss from New World. He stood up in a flustered manner and awkwardly said, "I never drink with friends during work hours. This is my first time, so I hope Miss Zhang doesn't mind." As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled out a chair for Miss Zhang, who sat down without hesitation across from Fei Hu.
After sitting down, Miss Zhang smiled and said, "It's quite boring to sit alone, so I thought I'd come down for a walk. I casually asked the waiter here about Bald Zhang, and she told me that Brother Zhang might have a distinguished guest, so he reserved a private room to drink. I found it a bit strange, so I came to check it out, and it turns out it really is a distinguished guest."
Miss Zhang didn't act like a star at all; she was very easygoing and started drinking beer with Fei Hu and the others. This made Fei Hu feel that the rumors about her were somewhat exaggerated. Alcohol, when managed well, can indeed be a good thing; it can subtly bring people closer together.
"Hey, Fei Hu, you're really not being considerate. I entrusted New World to you, so why can't I see you when something goes wrong here? Luckily Bald Zhang has been holding the fort; otherwise, my people would be in big trouble," Miss Zhang said jokingly after downing a few drinks, revealing a hint of her displeasure. This was only natural; she had signed the contract with Fei Hu, but since then, he had hardly shown his face.
Bald Zhang thought Miss Zhang didn't care about this matter; it seemed she just kept it to herself. He raised his glass and quickly said, "Boss, my boss cares about New World. However, he's been dealing with some troubles lately. Besides, he wasn't in City A when New World had issues. To put it another way, if I weren't under my boss's banner, I wouldn't have come out this quickly."
"Is that so? I really didn't know that. How are things now? Have you sorted them out?" Miss Zhang asked Fei Hu with great concern.
After a few drinks, Bald Zhang became a bit tipsy and didn't give Fei Hu a chance to speak. In fact, he was trying to look out for Fei Hu but ended up making things worse due to poor timing.
As soon as Miss Zhang finished speaking, Bald Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Boss, our leader is quite the figure now. You know he's the big brother of Dragon Tiger Gang. No one in the factions of City A can compare to him. So from now on, New World will be peaceful; Brother Zhang just needs to watch the money come in."
Bald Zhang's words were clearly inappropriate. Fei Hu shot him an angry glare; this guy had spoken too much and too carelessly. Bald Zhang hurriedly shut his mouth and sat quietly while pouring himself drink after drink. Fei Hu looked at him coldly and said, "Alright, drink less. The place is crowded right now; you need to stay alert, understand?"
Bald Zhang became much smarter at that moment. He rubbed his bald head and stood up with a smile saying, "You all take your time drinking; I'll go check on things. The boss won't be going back tonight since you drove here. I'll prepare a room for you downstairs shortly." With that, Bald Zhang turned and left.
Only Fei Hu and Miss Zhang were left in the private room, and they both felt a bit awkward. Just as Fei Hu was about to speak, Miss Zhang stood up and said to him, "Let's go to my office and have a good chat. It's too noisy here, and it's a bit inconvenient to talk." Without waiting for Fei Hu to respond, she walked towards the door.
When they reached the elevator, the attendant quickly opened the door for them upon seeing that Boss was going upstairs. At that moment, the elevator was empty. Fei Hu and Miss Zhang stood side by side facing the elevator doors. Just as the doors were about to close, a figure suddenly appeared, followed by a flash from a camera.
"Damn it, those Paparazzi," Miss Zhang cursed angrily in the elevator.
Fei Hu was still trying to understand what was happening and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you so upset?"
Miss Zhang glanced at him and replied, "We were just photographed. Tomorrow, it's very likely we'll be in the news again. How about this: you go directly to Room Service on the twentieth floor and pick a room to rest in. It's not convenient for us to chat together tonight; I hope you understand." After saying that, she walked out as soon as the elevator stopped.
When Fei Hu arrived on the twentieth floor, an attendant greeted him and led him directly to his room. He understood that this was arranged by Miss Zhang with a phone call beforehand. The standard four-star accommodation was extremely comfortable, but he had no mood to enjoy it.
After coming out of the bathroom, Fei Hu felt utterly exhausted. He lay down on the bed and couldn't help but think about Miss Zhang. The public's opinions about her varied greatly; her large presence on screen drew both criticism and praise. Some newspapers even sensationalized her personal life as scandalous. However, her behavior tonight made Fei Hu feel that the rumors outside were somewhat exaggerated. He even thought that this woman wasn't bad at all; at least being friends wouldn't be a problem.
Lost in thought, Fei Hu fell asleep without even turning off the lights. The exhaustion of recent days allowed him to sleep soundly.
The morning sun shone brightly in the garden of Ye Cheng's villa, creating a scene filled with blooming flowers that lifted one's spirits. After completing their morning exercises, Ye Cheng and Yingzi cheerfully made their way to the balcony where Ye Xiaofei relaxed while reading the newspaper. On the small wooden table in front of him were three cups of brewed Dim Sum.
This had been Ye Cheng's habit for many years: boxing while reading the news and enjoying Dim Sum. He reclined in a large armchair and said with a smile, "What's in the news today? Let me see it! Oh dear, there have been so many changes outside; if I don't read the news for a day, I feel out of touch and ignorant." As he spoke, he reached out to take some newspapers from Ye Xiaofei.
With a bright smile, Ye Xiaofei moved aside a stack of newspapers she was holding and was about to hand them over when her expression suddenly changed. She withdrew her hand and took back the papers.
The sudden change in Ye Xiaofei shocked both Ye Cheng and Yingzi. Ye Cheng, anxious, asked, "What's wrong, Xiaofei? What did you see?" He sat up straight.
Holding the newspaper, Ye Xiaofei's hand began to tremble slightly as she stared intently at it. Suddenly standing up, she slammed the newspaper down on the table and stormed into her room without looking back, followed by a loud bang as she slammed the door shut.
A beautiful morning suddenly turned tense. Yingzi murmured, "What's going on? Everything was fine just a moment ago. Did the newspaper provoke her again?" Yingzi felt very dissatisfied; this Ye Xiaofei had quite the temper, especially after breaking up with Fei Hu. She was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
Ye Cheng sighed and picked up the newspaper from the table. He flipped through it one page at a time, muttering, "What's the big deal? Why is she so angry?" Recently, Ye Cheng had been quite distressed over his granddaughter.
The clever Yingzi quickly realized that Ye Xiaofei was not the type to lose her temper without reason. Suddenly, it struck her that something in the newspaper must have triggered her anger. The only people who could have caused such a reaction were Ye Wu and Ye Wei, and of course, Fei Hu. But how could they easily make it into the news? She couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng shouted while holding up an entertainment newspaper, "Yingzi, come look at this! How could this happen? Fei Hu really doesn't care about his reputation!" Ye Cheng's face was filled with anger.
Yingzi hurriedly snatched the newspaper from Ye Cheng's hands. Upon seeing it, she found a large color photo of Fei Hu standing in an elevator with a woman on the front page. The bold headline read, "Hong Kong Star Takes Man to Hotel Late at Night." Yingzi was furious at the headline and exclaimed, "What a scoundrel! Just because they took an elevator together, they imply something so wicked!" While Yingzi cursed out loud, she felt just as upset inside. Fei Hu really should have known better than to get involved with someone like that Great Star.
"Yingzi, does Fei Hu need money? Why is he associating with someone like that?" Ye Cheng asked unhappily, sighing.
Yingzi paused for a moment and replied, "Grandpa, we know Fei Hu well enough; he wouldn't sell himself for money. If they're friends or have some other relationship, that's possible too. But this newspaper is exaggerating. I should call Fei Hu and ask him about this before we jump to conclusions."
Meanwhile, Fei Hu was awakened from his sleep by his phone ringing. He rolled over and pulled out his phone without looking at it and answered the call. On the other end, Yingzi was furious: "You lazy bum! Where are you? Get back here right now! What kind of person are you to cause such a commotion?"
"What’s going on? What happened? Why are you acting crazy so early in the morning?" Fei Hu was also a bit annoyed; after all, Yingzi had interrupted his sweet dreams.
Yingzi shouted over the phone, "Today's newspaper published a photo of you and Hong Kong Star taking an elevator to a hotel!"
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu jumped out of bed in shock. He was completely dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? Fei Hu anxiously scratched his head in confusion.
