<h4>Chapter 1006: Chapter 1008: Heading to the Capital City</h4>


    Zhang Qiang heard this, and his earlier suspicions were confirmed, but admitting defeat now would be a blow to his pride.


    Moreover, the bill was at least 200,000 yuan, and just the thought of it made him wince!


    "You think you can brush it off just like that? No matter who you are, shouldn’t you apologize for disturbing others?"


    Zhang Qiang’s tone weakened slightly, but he still didn’t want topromise.


    The waiter looked at Zhang Qiang with a troubled expression, then nced at Chu Ge, unsure of how to handle the situation.


    "Young Master Zhang, how about this, we’ll give you a discount, okay?"


    The waiter said with a cheerful smile.


    Zhang Qiang’s face turned even more sour, and he red at the waiter, scoffing, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m worried about the money? Do I look like I need your discount?"


    The waiter’s words were like a p to Zhang Qiang’s face, and he red at him angrily.


    The waiter looked equally puzzled, but facing Zhang Qiang’s growing anger, he became even more distressed.


    "Young Master Zhang, this Mr. Chu is Master Huo’s distinguished guest and a VIP with the Ouyang family and the Sima family. You really can’t afford to offend him."


    The waiter stepped forward and whispered in Zhang Qiang’s ear.


    Upon hearing the Sima family mentioned, Zhang Qiang became much more rational. He side-eyed the waiter, "What did you say? This person is connected to the Sima family too?"


    But no matter how he looked, this person didn’t seem like someone who could be associated with such prestigious families, especially with those clothes he’s wearing; altogether they probably cost less than one of his socks.


    Chu Ge, seeing the waiter’s distress, waved him over and said, "There’s no need to worry about me. I’m not concerned with these matters. Go on with your work."


    The waiter breathed a sigh of relief at Chu Ge’s words, but after a moment of thought, still felt uneasy.


    "Mr. Chu, are you sure it’s okay?"


    The waiter asked hesitantly.


    He dreaded what Master Huo might do to him if anything happened to Mr. Chu in the bar.


    Chu Ge shook his head, "No worries, go ahead and do your work. Oh, by the way, charge the expenses of room 2201 to my ount."


    With that, he took Shen Yaoyao by the arm again and was ready to leave.


    Zhang Qiang blocked his way once more and sneered, "On your ount? Haha, kid, do you really think I need your money? What I want is an exnation!!"


    Chu Geughed, looking at Zhang Qiang with disdain, "An exnation? What exnation?"


    "She yed me!"


    Zhang Qiang cursed, pointing at Shen Yaoyao.


    Chu Ge looked at him with some amusement and said, "yed you? You’re just out here having fun, mutual consent and all. She’s just a girl, if you weren’t willing, could she really have forced you?"


    Zhang Qiang’s mind was in chaos now, and he just couldn’t let go of his pride, especially in front of his friends.


    "Since you don’t need the money, that’s fine too. Waiter, don’t charge it to my ount, let this Mr. Zhang here pay instead."


    Chu Ge said indifferently.


    Zhang Qiang was stunned; he’d never met someone so shameless. Is this person really a friend of Master Huo?


    Zhang Qiang pointed at Chu Ge, wanting to hurl insults, but couldn’t find the right words for him.


    At this moment, there was amotion at the end of the corridor.


    "Master Huo, look, there’s Mr. Chu."


    Chu Ge turned to see Huo Tianqian walking over quickly, "Mr. Chu, why did you suddenlye?"


    They hadn’t heard him mention his visit over the phone, and if it weren’t for the security guard notifying him, Huo Tianqian wouldn’t have known either.


    "I decided toest minute."


    Chu Ge said.


    "Since you’re here, have a seat. You left in a hurryst time at the opening, haven’t had a chance to enjoy yet."


    Huo Tianqian said with a smile.


    Chu Ge nced at the time and saw it was still early, so he nodded, "Alright, let’s sit for a while."


    Huo Tianqian nced at Shen Yaoyao and Zhang Qiang, pausing briefly before asking casually, "Are these your friends too?"


    Chu Ge eyed Zhang Qiang with a slight smile tugging at his lips, "These two are not."


    Zhang Qiang was already intimidated by Huo Tianqian, and now more troubled under his gaze.


    He swallowed hard, momentarily disregarding pride, forced a smile, and said, "Hello Master Huo, I am Zhang Qiang, you know, from Zhang’s Company."


    Huo Tianqian didn’t bother to remember which Zhang he was, just nodded slightly in response before turning back to Chu Ge, "This way, Mr. Chu."


    Thus, Chu Ge left with Shen Yaoyao following Huo Tianqian.


    Zhang Qiang’s face looked like it was strained with difort.


    The young man who hade out with him cautiously stepped forward, "Brother Zhang, are you okay?"


    Zhang Qiang red at him, "Do I look okay to you?"


    Today has really been a terrible day! 200,000 just like that! It’s painful just thinking about it!


    "Brother Zhang, it’s not like I brought him here, why are you getting mad at me?"


    The man pouted, aware of Zhang Qiang’s thoughts, but it wasn’t his fault earlier, and he wasn’t going to pay for Zhang Qiang’s ego.


    Zhang Qiang red at him, lips tight, "I’m getting mad at you? What, you have a problem with that?"


    "No, no, not at all, Brother Zhang, please don’t be mad. Don’t worry, although Shen Yaoyao left, we can find other women, there are plenty of pretty ones in the room."


    Facing Zhang Qiang was not something he could risk, so he could only swallow this grievance.


    Zhang Qiang managed a slight rxation of his expression at the man’s ttering, then returned to the private room.


    On the other side, Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian entered a private room together, with Huo Tianqian personally attending to Chu Ge.


    But after learning about the situation between Chu Ge and Zhang Qiang from the waiter, Huo Tianqian’s expression darkened, "Mr. Chu, that Zhang Qiang, I’ll deal with him!"


    Chu Ge looked up at him and chuckled, "No need, they’re just some young hotheads, face-concerned like everyone else, nothing to worry about."


    Huo Tianqian was choked by his words, isn’t your age also quite young?


    Though this he dared not express to Chu Ge.


    Huo Tianqian asked, "Mr. Chu, are you nning to return to the Capital City tomorrow?"


    Chu Ge shook his head, "Tickets are tight for tomorrow, I’ll go the day after."


    Beside him, Shen Yaoyao remained silent, almost like a child who did something wrong, quiet and obedient.


    She looked up at Chu Ge after hearing his n, "You’re going to the Capital City again?"
