Chapter 137 Overconfidence
Xiao Chen had just received Xiao Feifei's call when he heard Zhao Youpeng's angry rebuke.
"I order you to get over here right now!"
His expression slowly darkened.
Who gave Zhao Youpeng the courage to yell at me like that?
He had clearly made arrangements for people in the black market to take care of those people.
What's wrong with Zhao Youpeng?
Without further delay, he headed to Xian Shan Lou with a stern face.
When Xiao Chen arrived at Xian Shan Lou, the staff were already prepared and waiting for him at the door.
The person in charge still personally went to the door.
"Mr. Xiao, your subordinate respectfully welcomes you!" The person in charge was extremely respectful, almost bending over to the ground.
On the seventh floor, Zhao Youpeng and the others stood at the window and looked down, witnessing this scene.
"Why be polite to a country bumpkin? Are all the people at Xian Shan Lou really brain-dead?" Zhao Youpeng was furious.
"What kind of bastards are these? They can't even tell who's the real person!" the man in the group cursed.
"Heh..." Zhao Youpeng sneered.
He's furious and has nowhere to vent his anger.
When Xiao Chen comes up, that will be his moment to unleash his power...
On the first floor, Xiao Chen was welcomed into the Immortal Cuisine Restaurant.
"What happened?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Mr. Xiao, it's because you hadn't arrived yet that we didn't serve the dishes, and the people upstairs got impatient and started to get angry," the manager said cautiously.
Xiao Chen frowned.
"There's no need for that. Just serve them the food. I didn't intend to come over anyway."
He didn't expect the people at the restaurant to misunderstand.
"Yes, it was my mistake." The person in charge was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
“However, that Zhao fellow went too far.” Xiao Chen’s expression turned slightly cold.
"Mr. Xiao, may I ask... what is your relationship with those people upstairs?" the person in charge asked, observing the situation.
"I know one person, but I'm not familiar with the others."
"I understand." The person in charge smiled slightly.
The two quickly reached the seventh floor.
The person in charge walked ahead and opened the door for Xiao Chen.
"Bang!" As soon as the door opened, a cup was smashed over.
The person in charge was from the black market; he reached out and caught the cup.
"You, surnamed Xiao, you have quite the airs, daring to make us wait so long!" Zhao Youpeng said coldly.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Is this kid a mad dog?
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you?" another person shouted angrily.
"You were only able to get into the black market because of our Young Master Zhao. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even have the right to come in!"
"And you dare to put on airs and make us wait here for so long, do you have any conscience at all?"
“Xiao Chen, you did something wrong. If it weren’t for Young Master Zhao, you really wouldn’t have been able to get into the black market,” Xu Lingling said.
Out of consideration for Xiao Feifei's feelings, she didn't say anything too harsh, but her face was full of dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment.
Are these three okay?
It's said that he only got into the black market because of Zhao Youpeng...
That's an absolute joke!
"Do you know where this is?" Zhao Youpeng pointed to the ground and stared at Xiao Chen.
"This is the seventh floor of the Immortal Cuisine Pavilion! Even the top figures in the royal city don't have the right to come up here!"
“I, Zhao Youpeng, can bring you in, but you brat are so ungrateful that you dare to make us wait here without a meal. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bring them up even if they begged me!”
"Hmph, if it weren't for Qingrou's sake, why would I have let you come along? On your own, you wouldn't even be qualified to set foot here in your next life!" Zhao Youpeng said arrogantly.
Xiao Chen's face darkened.
The person in charge had a strange expression.
He didn't understand.
How could this person think that they were able to reach the seventh floor of the Immortal Cuisine Restaurant because of him...?
Where does his confidence come from?
"Alright, alright, Xiao Chen probably didn't do it on purpose," Xiao Feifei stepped in to smooth things over.
"It must have been his first time in the black market, and he was curious about everything, which is why he lingered outside for a while."
"Xiao Chen, apologize to Zhao Youpeng. You've been taking so long to come over; everyone's been getting impatient," Xiao Feifei said to Xiao Chen, with a hint of reproach in her voice.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Should he apologize to Zhao Youpeng?
How ridiculous...
"No need to apologize, I don't accept it." Zhao Youpeng waved his hand coldly.
“A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, he’s never seen the world,” he scoffed.
"Why would I invite someone like that to dine at Xian Shan Lou? Unless I'm out of my mind!"
"You surnamed Xiao, get out of here! Get out of Xian Shan Lou and get out of the black market!"
"I gave you the opportunity to come into contact with high society, but you didn't cherish it. Go back to your level. You are not worthy of reaching higher levels!" Zhao Youpeng said impatiently.
He no longer wanted to hide it and completely broke off all pretense.
"Tell me to get lost?" Xiao Chen laughed, his expression laced with sarcasm.
"What? Can't you hear me?" Zhao Youpeng frowned.
"Just get out of here, stop talking nonsense, or I'll look down on you even more."
Xiao Chen's expression turned cold.
"presumptuous!"
Before he could speak, the person in charge of Xian Shan Lou spoke first.
He let out a furious shout.
Zhao Youpeng was startled, but quickly recovered.
"Watch your words and attitude!" he reprimanded, pointing at the person in charge.
"As the person in charge of Xian Shan Lou, is this how you treat your esteemed guests? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't stay at this job!"
The person in charge smiled.
He laughed out of anger.
He had never seen anything so ridiculous.
"Distinguished guest? You?"
"Heh, who do you think you are, a distinguished guest?" the manager sneered.
Zhao Youpeng was furious when he heard this.
“I’m a distinguished silver member! How dare you speak to me like that?” he said arrogantly.
"Silver medal? Hahaha..." The person in charge laughed even louder.
Because this was the biggest joke he had ever heard in his career.
The person in charge's laughter made Zhao Youpeng's face turn ugly.
"Don't laugh! I order you not to laugh!" he said urgently.
"How dare you mock a silver member who can climb seven floors? Do you really not want to work here anymore?" he roared.
"Young Master Zhao, immediately file a complaint with the higher-ups and get him dismissed!" the man beside him said indignantly.
“Exactly! How can they treat such a distinguished guest like this? This manager is utterly incompetent!” Xu Lingling chimed in.
“I think you’ve all got one thing wrong…” The person in charge stopped laughing and his expression turned serious.
"Do you really think you were able to dine on the seventh floor of the Immortal Cuisine Restaurant because of his so-called black market silver pass?" He asked with a mocking expression.
"Isn't that right?" The three of them were stunned for a moment.
"What a joke!" the person in charge sneered.
"The black market silver pass is just a pass. Sixty or seventy percent of those who can enter the Jiang City black market have such a pass."
"You think you can dine on the seventh floor of Xian Shan Lou with just a mere silver pass? That's wishful thinking!"
"This pass is only valid for dining in the lobby on the first floor."
The person in charge's words caused the three men's expressions to change drastically.
Zhao Youpeng, in particular, looked utterly incredulous.
“But…we clearly…went up to the seventh floor…” Xu Lingling said softly.
"Hmph, you were able to reach the seventh floor entirely thanks to one person..."
"This person is the truly esteemed Mr. Xiao!" The person in charge pointed to Xiao Chen.
"What?!" In an instant, the four of them widened their eyes.
