Zhang Cheng didn't dare to refuse at all, nodding hurriedly, "Alright, Young Master Huang, I'll go right now."
After saying that, he stood up from the floor and left as if fleeing.
"Zhang Cheng, I know where you live."
Huang Hao's voice came from behind, spoken lightly.
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng froze completely. He had originally been thinking of just running away, but it seemed that wasn't an option.
He turned his head and said, "I know."
He cursed inwardly, never expecting his luck to be so bad—to beat someone up who just happened to be Huang Hao's man.
Returning to his own private room,
Han Tao, seeing them return, asked with a smile, "Everything alright?"
"Of course it's fine. Young Master Zhang is so capable."
Cao Ting chimed in with a laugh.
"There's trouble."
Zhang Cheng's face was pale, but he certainly couldn't lose face in front of these people. "The guy I just hit has a big shot backing him, someone whose status is top-tier in Jiang City."
Everyone around them was somewhat frightened upon hearing this.
"However, I'm on good terms with him. Zhao Yingying, Cao Ting, you two come with me to apologize, and this matter will be settled."
Zhang Cheng said, looking at the two women.
The many classmates around, hearing this, began whispering among themselves again.
Truly, Zhang Cheng, to actually have connections with a top-tier big shot.
Listening to the surrounding chatter, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but lift his chin, inadvertently putting on airs once more.
Only a few male classmates near him were filled with awkwardness.
There certainly was a connection—he knelt as soon as they met.
Cao Ting didn't dare to disobey. She tugged at Zhao Yingying and said softly, "Yingying, let's go over. Anyway, Young Master Zhang is on good terms with him, it'll be fine."
"Why go? Yingying, let's keep eating."
Xu Mu pressed down on Zhao Yingying's shoulder. "You didn't hit him. What are you apologizing for?"
"Okay, Brother Mu."
Zhao Yingying nodded gently.
"You punk! Do you even know who the other party is? I'll tell you straight—his subordinates include people at the level of death warriors. Offend him, and you won't even know how you die!"
Zhang Cheng glared at Xu Mu and growled. If Zhao Yingying didn't go, Huang Hao would definitely give him trouble.
He didn't want to provoke that kind of person. He'd heard Huang Hao even knew the young master of a major group from Yang City—his connections reached the heavens.
"Yingying, are you full?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"I was full a while ago," Zhao Yingying replied.
"Good, then let's go home."
Xu Mu stood up as he spoke.
"No! You can't leave!"
Zhang Cheng's face instantly darkened. Earlier, it was for Zhao Yingying that he had hit someone.
Now that he'd offended someone, she wanted to run off? It wasn't that easy.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you're on good terms with the other party? Can't you just explain it to him?"
Xu Mu frowned slightly.
"I... Anyway, no."
As Zhang Cheng was speaking, he suddenly thought of a method and revealed a smile. "I am on good terms with him. How about I have him come over?"
"Fine, I'll wait a few more minutes for him then."
Xu Mu sat back down again.
Zhang Cheng gave a look to the people beside him, signaling them to stay and keep an eye on Zhao Yingying.
He immediately headed alone for the elevator to find Huang Hao.
Arriving at the private room, Zhang Cheng quickly went before Young Master Huang and plopped down on his knees with a thud. "Young Master Huang, there were many people earlier. Now I'm kneeling on my own initiative."
Huang Hao looked faintly at Zhang Cheng and frowned. "Where are those two women?"
"There's a guy, the boyfriend of one of them. He insists on blocking her, not letting his girlfriend come. It's a class gathering; I couldn't very well hit him in front of so many people."
Zhang Cheng continued, "I also mentioned Young Master Huang's great name, but he said Young Master Huang is nothing, didn't take you seriously at all, and even told you to go over personally."
"What?"
Huang Hao stood up abruptly. "Looking for death! Take me there!"
Zhang Cheng felt a smile inside. Perfect to have this Huang Hao teach Xu Mu a lesson.
He added, "Young Master Huang, there are many people outside, all classmates... could you give me some face?"
Huang Hao looked at Zhang Cheng kneeling before him and revealed a smile. "No wonder you kneeled so quickly."
...
In the private room.
Zhang Cheng and Huang Hao's bodyguards entered first.
Zhang Cheng pointed at Xu Mu and said, "It's this punk!"
The surrounding students, seeing these burly, strong men, were all too frightened to breathe loudly.
Just the aura of these men made it clear they were no ordinary people.
"You brat! How dare you block someone summoned by Young Master Huang!"
One of the strong men roared and strode towards Xu Mu.
Xu Mu grabbed the man's wrist with a backhand motion and applied slight pressure. The man let out a pig-like squeal and fell to the floor on the spot.
"I don't care what 'Young Master' he is! His man bullied others. He should apologize!"
Xu Mu said calmly.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng felt secret delight. This foolhardy guy who doesn't fear the tiger.
He truly has no idea who Huang Hao is.
But, this is even better. Once he's in trouble, Zhao Yingying will be mine.
"Have me apologize? Just who is this arrogant person?"
Right then, Huang Hao walked in, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a cigarette.
Zhang Cheng, seeing him, immediately fawned and scurried over. "Young Master Huang, you're here?"
"Young Master Huang!"
All the strong men here respectfully called out.
The many watching students were utterly shocked. This person clearly looked like a big boss.
However, from Zhang Cheng's bowing, obsequious attitude, the hierarchy between the two was clear.
"It's me."
Xu Mu looked calmly at Huang Hao.
When Huang Hao saw Xu Mu before him, he was instantly dumbfounded.
He was so scared his brain short-circuited, not knowing what to do next.
Damn it!
Why is it this bastard Xu Mu? I originally came thinking to scope out a pretty college girl.
Why is he here?
Once, one of Xu Mu's female bodyguards beat him so badly he was hospitalized for a week.
Later, he went to the Feng family to complain, but who knew the Feng family would have an incident and simply vanish.
Meanwhile, the Xu family continued to prosper, and now, relying on the new pharmaceutical company, had long surpassed its previous peak.
Currently, it was poised to become the number one in Jiangbei.
"Damn it! How dare you look at Young Master Huang like that! Asking for a beating?"
Zhang Cheng pointed at Xu Mu and cursed.
Slap!
Huang Hao slapped Zhang Cheng across the face. "Impertinent fool."
Zhang Cheng was a bit dazed. What was going on? Didn't he agree to save my face earlier?
"Young Master Xu, what are you doing here?"
Huang Hao bowed and scraped as he walked towards Xu Mu, his demeanor now identical to Zhang Cheng's from moments before.
Everyone present was utterly dumbfounded upon seeing this.
What was happening?
Zhao Yingying's boyfriend was supposedly a security guard from a technical college. Why was such a bigshot acting like this towards him?
"Young Master Huang, he... who is he?"
Zhang Cheng's mouth grew clumsy.
"Didn't I already introduce myself when we met? My surname is Xu. The Xu of the Xu Group."
Xu Mu said calmly, looking at Zhang Cheng.
"The Xu Group?"
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng was utterly terrified.
In Jiang City, who didn't know this enterprise?
It was once number one in Jiang City, and now it was about to become number one in Jiangbei.
Zhang Cheng flushed red, feeling as if he'd been slapped repeatedly. He, with his measly 300,000-yuan Xiaomi car,
had actually been showing off in front of the young master of the Xu Group.
He had heard rumors about Young Master Xu before—going to a bar and casually spending hundreds of thousands.
Unfortunately, his status was too low to mingle in his circle, so he didn't know Xu Mu.
Even if Xu Mu looked somewhat familiar, he couldn't connect the dots that Zhao Yingying's boyfriend was him.
"Young Master Huang, shouldn't you be apologizing?" Xu Mu asked with a smile.
