The two of them felt incredibly awkward about the bragging they'd done earlier.
When they first came in, they were thinking about getting a piece of the action...
But then Zhuang Xin showed his keys and announced his identity... making them feel like they wanted to disappear.
After all that fuss, it turned out they were just two clowns showing off in front of an expert?
"This..." Lu Kang's face turned red, and he didn't even dare to touch his wine glass. He was afraid that if he drank any more and lost control, they'd be completely finished if Zhuang Xin's identity was really that terrifying.
"Ahaha!" Zhao Hong, shamelessly, forced a laugh. His throat dry, he said, "So Manager Zhuang's identity is this astonishing. We were really putting on a show just now. Our little matters are nothing in Manager Zhuang's eyes."
"That's right! Manager Zhuang is magnanimous. Please don't blame us for bragging."
With that, the two of them shot up and left the private room.
No matter how thick their skin, they couldn't bear to stay any longer.
Besides, they had only been showing off and hadn't actually done anything, so Zhuang Xin wouldn't be that petty.
After the two left, Qiu Qi and the other six women couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Bai Xinxin even shot Xu Chi a look. "I didn't expect you to be so wicked. You kept flattering them, and then suddenly revealed Brother Zhuang's identity. They probably wish they could crawl into a hole."
"Yeah, their faces changed all at once just now. Hee hee." Chu Nuan also let out a silvery laugh.
Qiu Qi glanced at Zhuang Xin, her face flushed as she lowered her head, lost in thought.
Xu Chi chuckled. "Who told them to come and show off in front of Brother Zhuang? Ugh, I used to hate people who just showed off without caring if others could handle it. I wanted to punch them. Since Brother Zhuang was here, I could vent my frustration. Besides, they had ulterior motives towards sister-in-law, and I couldn't just stand by."
He looked at Qiu Qi, his smile becoming even more mischievous.
Qiu Qi's face turned bright red, and she avoided his gaze, quickly picking up her chopsticks and pretending to be calm as she ate.
In the Mi Xin lobby, Lu Kang and Zhao Hong, who had left in a panic, were covered in a cold sweat.
They ran all the way out, and with their already poor physique, they started gasping for air.
"I didn't expect to be so unlucky. We wanted a piece of the pie, but we ran into a young master with such a background."
"Yeah, this Zhuang Xin is too scary. He didn't say anything before, and only revealed it after we finished bragging. He clearly wanted to watch us make fools of ourselves. How detestable."
Although they complained, they didn't dare to think of revenge. They could only discuss it as they hurried out.
As soon as they exited, they bumped into a woman wearing light makeup, with a seductive figure, dressed in a black long dress. They knocked her to the ground, and she let out a delicate cry of "Aiya!"
The two were startled and quickly helped the woman up. When they looked at her face, they were both surprised. "Liu Xiang, is that you?"
This Liu Xiang was once a manager at a large company. A while ago, for some reason, she had a falling out with her husband and had only recently divorced.
"Oh, Manager Lu, Manager Zhao, what's the rush? You knocked me over," Liu Xiang glanced at them with a hint of resentment.
Ever since she divorced her husband, although she had received a considerable amount of property.
Her affair had spread like wildfire, becoming common knowledge. She instantly became the modern Pan Jinlian in everyone's mouths.
Lu Kang and Zhao Hong gave dry laughs. They were too embarrassed to mention the embarrassing incident from earlier and turned to leave.
"Hey! Manager Lu, Manager Zhao, I overheard you mentioning Zhuang Xin just now. Do you know this person?" Liu Xiang had intentionally eavesdropped on their conversation and then deliberately bumped into them.
This was all intentional on her part.
"Uh... Miss Liu, you know this Zhuang Xin too?" Lu Kang stopped, looking suspicious.
Zhao Hong also scratched his head. "This Manager Zhuang really has extensive connections."
"Young Master Zhuang? Are you two mistaken?" Liu Xiang frowned. Zhuang Xin was just an employee under her not too long ago. How did he become a young master?
Even more infuriating, this scoundrel somehow found out about her affair and loudly proclaimed it to her husband at the car show, leading to her divorce and current predicament.
At this point, she was afraid no one would dare to marry her in the future.
Was it just because she made things difficult for him at the company? He had to do this to her.
When she heard the name Zhuang Xin from their mouths, she wanted to inquire about him and find an opportunity for revenge!
"Mistaken? It shouldn't be, right?" The two of them were stunned.
Liu Xiang seemed to have figured something out and smiled. "Did you two encounter him? This kid used to be my subordinate, earning 3,500 yuan a month. I often made things difficult for him, and he harbored resentment towards me. He told my husband about my affair, and I'm looking for him. If you two saw him, could you tell me where he is?"
"Your subordinate?"
"3,500 yuan a month?"
The two were dumbfounded. How was that possible?
What about the Koenigsegg keys just now?
They considered themselves knowledgeable about cars and wouldn't have mistaken them.
Could someone who could afford a nearly 50 million yuan luxury car be working a job that paid 3,500 yuan a month?
"What? You two don't believe me? If you don't believe me, I can immediately have his file sent over, and you can see for yourselves." Liu Xiang sent a message asking a company employee to send Zhuang Xin's information.
If the Zhuang Xin Lu Kang and Zhao Hong were talking about was the same person she knew, she would never let Zhuang Xin get away so easily!
A moment later, Liu Xiang handed over Zhuang Xin's photo and information to the two of them.
When Lu Kang and Zhao Hong looked at the person on the phone, they exclaimed, "Holy cow, it really is Zhuang Xin!"
Moreover, the information recorded on it was crystal clear: residence, phone number... as well as age, work experience, incredibly detailed!
"Is it really him?"
"This... no way, could we have been tricked?"
The two hesitated.
If they had truly been deceived, it would be an absolute humiliation.
After all their years of struggling and navigating the world, to be toyed with by a mere youngster, they wouldn't be able to face anyone if word got out.
Should they go back?
And then expose this kid and get revenge?
But they didn't dare. What if it was real?
If it was real, and they caused trouble, wouldn't they be completely finished?
The two fell silent, not uttering a word.
They had no idea how to decide.
