Chapter 8 : Slap Education
Su Wanying immediately recognized the palace secretary and was so scared that she turned her head to run.
Chen Qingzhi grabbed his wife's arm and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Hurry, hurry and run! This person is the assistant manager of the Chamber of Commerce. We've been caught," Su Wanying said in a panic and stuttered.
The palace secretary on the other side was also startled by Su Wanying's reaction. Just as he was about to say something, Chen Qingzhi's cold gaze swept over.
The palace secretary, being a person of high status, immediately understood and took out a black card from his pocket. He respectfully handed it to Chen Qingzhi before turning and leaving.
Chen Qingzhi touched the black card. It should be the profits of the Chamber of Commerce for this quarter.
Beside him, Su Wanying was stunned. "What's going on? The palace secretary..."
Her gaze fell on the black card in the man's hand, and her beautiful eyes widened in realization. "Isn't this the virtual card from the Monopoly game? It's exactly the same as the ones before."
She casually threw it into her bag, which was already filled with a stack of black cards.
Thinking about how easily the man entered the elevator, Su Wanying now "understood" everything. "Oh, so the palace secretary also plays that game. Are you guys online friends?"
Chen Qingzhi could only rub his nose. "Yeah, to be honest, in that game, the palace secretary is just my little brother."
Su Wanying was speechless. "A game is a game, reality is reality. He helped you this time, but you don't even know how to repay the favor."
She walked quickly towards the corridor behind them. "Quickly find the president of the Chamber of Commerce and return the clothes to him."
Chen Qingzhi laughed from behind. "Wife, the president of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is not inside..."
"If you can't find him, leave a note and leave the clothes behind," Su Wanying said with a stern face. "It's all your fault for sneaking in. We should have just handed it over to the front desk outside."
They were now in a difficult situation.
Su Wanying walked around anxiously, and suddenly, her eyes lit up. She had actually walked into the hall where the banquet was being held!
Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, the spacious hall was filled with distinguished guests. A beautiful maid appeared with a smile, holding a tray filled with unknown drinks and alcohol.
Just as Su Wanying was secretly lamenting, an annoying figure appeared in front of her.
In a gorgeous evening gown, swaying her body, it was Liu Zhenzhen.
Oh no...
Su Wanying turned around and bumped into Chen Qingzhi's arms, letting out a cry of surprise.
Liu Zhenzhen, who was socializing with others, saw the two and her eyes almost popped out. "You two! Hey, stop right there!"
She rushed over in her high heels and grabbed Chen Qingzhi's sleeve. "How did you get in here?"
Chen Qingzhi held Su Wanying, whose face had turned pale, and smiled faintly. "I came to see Miss Liu eat shit, hehe."
Liu Zhenzhen became furious and seemed to understand something. She turned around and shouted at the security guards, "Hey, there are two thieves who sneaked in here!"
The lively banquet hall immediately fell silent, and everyone's attention turned towards them.
Their gazes were different, but it made Su Wanying feel drenched in sweat, with nowhere to hide.
Pushing the man away, Su Wanying turned around and bowed humbly. "Yes, I'm sorry, we'll leave right away."
"Want to leave?" Liu Zhenzhen sneered while holding a glass of champagne. "You sneaked into our Chamber of Commerce's banquet to steal, right?"
As she spoke, she raised her glass of champagne and splashed it harshly on Su Wanying's face. "Here's a toast for you, now get lost!"
The banquet hall immediately erupted in a piercing laughter.
These wealthy businessmen from Hanzhou were all cultured and refined, so they wouldn't openly mock like Liu Zhenzhen, using vulgar language. But their gazes and smirks were like needles, making Su Wanying feel even more humiliated. In this moment, it felt like the air was filled with disdain.
There were still champagne foam dripping from Su Wanying's long hair, and her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything. She felt that she didn't have the right to defend herself because she did indeed "sneak" in through the back door.
At this moment, a gentle hand held a tissue and wiped away the alcohol from her face.
Su Wanying looked up, trembling, and looked at the man. She wanted to say something but held back. She turned around and ran towards the restroom, crying.
Liu Zhenzhen, on the other hand, wouldn't let Chen Qingzhi off the hook. "You still have the nerve to cry. What are the security guards even doing? And you, useless, can't even keep an eye on your wife and keep her from cheating..."
Before she could finish, the man raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
Liu Zhenzhen covered her face, momentarily stunned.
After the silence, Liu Zhenzhen became furious and stomped her feet, shouting, "I'll fucking kill you! Security, where's the security!"
The black-clad security guards around frowned and were about to step forward.
But the palace secretary not far away made a cold gesture.
These well-trained security guards slowly stepped back, and no one took any action.
Liu Zhenzhen screamed, feeling embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Why, why didn't the security guards do anything?
She covered her swollen face, said a few harsh words, and then ran to complain to her father.
Chen Qingzhi couldn't be bothered and walked towards the front because Wanying had returned.
The girl's long hair was dripping with water, making her look even more exhausted.
Chen Qingzhi felt extremely distressed and took off his coat to put it on her. "Find a place to rest."
Su Wanying struggled and looked up with swollen eyes, desolate. "Chen Qingzhi, do you still find it embarrassing enough? I want to go home, let's leave immediately!"
Just as she said that, there was a commotion outside.
Finally, the Su family arrived, holding the golden jade statue and appearing at the entrance.
