Bang—

He slammed the table again in anger, then picked up the chair beside him, about to smash it towards Cheng Gang's side.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene.

They truly hadn't expected Cheng Gang to dare to confront Zuo Yikai so directly.

And to publicly insult the latter as a monkey, not their own kind.

Of course, the most shocking thing was Zuo Yikai's action.

One had to know this was a solid wood chair. If he swung it and didn't hit it right, it could very well kill someone.

Even if Zuo Yikai had the Zhonghai Shilin Guomao Group backing him, if he caused a death, it likely wouldn't be enough to cover it.

"Zuo Yikai, have you had enough?"

"Today is a class reunion, and Cheng Gang is the host."

"You dare to turn against the host and smash someone with a chair? Are you out of your mind?"

The one speaking was Qin Xueqing. Her cold eyes were fixed on Zuo Yikai.

It had to be said that she was truly completely enraged by the latter at this moment.

Of course, the reason she was so angry was all because of Lin Chen.

If Zuo Yikai's chair had hit its mark, it could have injured the latter.

If Lin Chen were injured, then no matter who it was, they would be Qin Xueqing's enemy.

Because he was the first man she had ever truly fallen for and deeply loved in her life.

And this man was so outstanding, she doubted anyone else like him could be found in the world.

It was no wonder she was so furious.

"This..."

Seeing Qin Xueqing angry, everyone held their breath.

They truly hadn't expected her to erupt in such anger at this moment.

She hadn't even been this angry when Zuo Yikai had acted flirtatiously towards her earlier.

"Could it be... our Colonel Qin has actually fallen for Cheng Gang?"

This question, like a stone dropped into the sea, instantly rippled through everyone's minds.

Of course, Cheng Gang himself also had this thought.

When he saw Qin Xueqing daring to confront Zuo Yikai, risking her career to protect his safety, he became somewhat excited.

At the same time, he looked forward even more to confessing his feelings to Xueqing alone after the event.

It had to be said that Cheng Gang felt happy and incredibly smug at this moment.

"This little girl is still the same as always. Once she's set on something, no one can oppose or hurt it even a little."

Lin Chen was also touched by Qin Xueqing's anger in confronting Zuo Yikai.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt a pang in his heart.

Qin Xueqing was different from other girls. Once she committed to something, no one could change it, not even him, Lin Chen.

Even if Lin Chen agreed to be with her now, given Qin Xueqing's personality, she wouldn't accept it.

Because according to her values, she would feel it was Lin Chen pitying her, accepting her because he saw her as weak and pathetic.

In her heart, she wouldn't consider it true love, but rather pity.

Only by her own unyielding efforts, by chasing Lin Chen's footsteps and finally winning him over, would she feel it.

Only then would she believe that the two of them were together because they genuinely liked each other.

"Sigh..."

Thinking of Qin Xueqing's personality, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he felt even more affection for her.

He would ultimately not let down such a woman.

It was just that before they could finally be together, he would make her suffer quite a bit.

Clang!

Seeing Qin Xueqing's frosty expression, Zuo Yikai ultimately suppressed his anger.

He heavily placed the chair back in its original position, causing a loud clang.

It was evident how furious he was at this moment.

He never expected Qin Xueqing to reprimand him so publicly.

And the person she was defending was Cheng Gang.

"Damn it, Cheng Gang, right? Just you wait until after the reunion, and I'll deal with you."

Zuo Yikai inwardly swore, his gaze towards Cheng Gang filled with chilling hatred.

He was determined to get revenge for today's insult, no matter what.

Even if it wasn't for Qin Xueqing, it had to be for himself.

After all, anyone who dared to humiliate their Zuo family in Zhonghai had to pay a heavy price.

Clang!

Just as everyone was unsure what to do or say next, the private room door was opened once again.

This time, however, it was the hotel's waitresses.

Each carrying a plate of delicious dishes, they walked into the room.

Before they even got close, everyone could smell the aroma of the delicious food.

It had to be said that the chefs at the Zhonghai Emperor International Hotel had reached the pinnacle of their craft.

It was no wonder a meal here could easily cost over a hundred thousand.

"Wow, not only do these dishes smell amazing, but the presentation is beautiful too!"

When the waitresses placed the dishes on the table, some of the female classmates exclaimed in surprise.

It wasn't just the female classmates; even Cheng Gang, Zuo Yikai, and Qin Xueqing's eyes lit up at the sight of the dishes.

Of course, Lin Chen was no exception.

Although his net worth had already surpassed a hundred billion, it had only been a few days, and there were still many things he hadn't experienced.

For example, this was his first time seeing such exquisite dishes from a high-end hotel.

Especially the dish right in front of him.

Even though it only used wood ear mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms as ingredients, under the skilled hands of the hotel's imperial chef.

It had been transformed into a breathtaking scene of a secluded paradise.

From the visual presentation, one could roughly guess the chef's intention.

He had used the shiitake mushrooms to represent piled stones, the wood ear mushrooms as a lotus pond, and the soup on the plate served as a finishing touch, like a river.

With these three elements combined, the most ordinary ingredients had been transformed into a work of art and a delicious delicacy.

One had to admit, humanity was truly great.

With just their hands and the creativity of their minds, they could create all sorts of wonderful things beyond imagination.

"Sir, this is one of our hotel's imperial chef's signature dishes. Its name is 'Moonlight over the Lotus Pond'."

Seeing Lin Chen staring intently at the dish, a nearby waitress quickly stepped forward to explain.

Her explanation immediately drew gasps and cheers from the crowd.

"What a beautiful name, 'Moonlight over the Lotus Pond'. Based on the presentation alone, it truly fits the theme."

"Indeed, to create such an artistic conception with just two ordinary ingredients is befitting of an imperial chef from a grand hotel."

"Of course. If the chefs didn't have exceptional skills, how would the hotel dare to charge over a hundred thousand for a meal?"

While everyone was singing the praises of the 'Moonlight over the Lotus Pond' dish.

Lin Chen shifted his gaze to another dish.

When he saw its unique presentation, his eyes also sparkled.
