“You’ve got it all wrong. It’s me giving you face by agreeing to drink with you…”

Everyone in the private dining room was dumbfounded when Huang Xiaolong said this…

Originally, everyone thought that Deng Zihan’s aggressive approach was ungracious and they subconsciously sympathized with Huang Xiaolong.

But now, Huang Xiaolong has actually made such a pompous statement!

Let’s not forget, Deng Zihan is a deputy chief of a police station! He’s a figure with a certain social status. And you, a college student from the rural area, dared to show off in front of Deng Zihan and imply that his face is worthless.

At this point, people in the private dining room not only lost their sympathy for Huang Xiaolong, but instead started to look down upon and despise him even more.

“Well…hehe, school beauty Chu, your boyfriend is acting a bit too grandiose,” a spectacled male classmate mocked as he looked at Chu Tingting.

“I thought he was so outstanding, but it turns out he is just a hollow tin that likes to brag and show off himself. And he doesn’t have the slightest bit of cunning. Look, he’s completely offended Deng Zihan…” said a round-faced woman with freckles, who had previously bumped into Chu Tingting in the stairwell, grumbling uncontrollably.

Huang Xiaolong, however, kept a serious face.

What he said was not inappropriate, nor exaggerated.

Leaving aside his spirit transcending identity, Huang Xiaolong knew quite a few influential figures just in Binhai.

Like Brother Zhao Qi, Lin Zicong, the leader of the Binhai Four Young Masters, or Sister Jing, the captain of the criminal police squad at the city’s public security bureau…

Any of these people could easily crush someone as insignificant as Deng Zihan, a mere deputy chief of a police station, into dust.

“Hehehe” At this point, Deng Zihan was glaring at Huang Xiaolong with a resentful look, his face showing a strong maliciousness, “Kid, you’re looking down on me, right?”

“Enough, Deng Zihan, Xiaolong is still studying. Why do you have to cling to him?” Chu Tingting quickly intervened. She was a bit worried that Deng Zihan would retaliate against Huang Xiaolong, after all, a deputy chief of a police station does have some power.

“Chu Tingting! Get your facts straight! It’s clearly your boyfriend who’s showing off in front of me. When did it become me clinging onto him?” Deng Zihan’s face immediately darkened.

The atmosphere in the private dining room gradually tensed up.

At this time, a young woman, dressed in a cheongsam, with a decent appearance, gently pushed open the door to the private dining room and walked in with an apologetic smile, “Chief Deng… You are holding your class reunion here today, we didn’t serve you well… Do you find our food suitable for your taste?”

The young woman was a manager of the Shujiang Spring Entertainment City’s catering department, a very versatile person.

As this place falls under Deng Zihan’s management, she also had to make sure Deng Zihan’s needs were well looked after, otherwise her life will not be easy.

“Oh Manager Zhang, the food is okay. It’s just that there is a douchebag here bouncing around in front of me that makes me feel sick,” Deng Zihan casually glanced at Huang Xiaolong.

The young woman, “Manager Zhang,” walked over and whispered in Deng Zihan’s ear, “Chief Deng, Chief Xu is also hosting a banquet here tonight… right next door…”

“Xu…Xu…Chief Xu…” Suddenly, Deng Zihan’s face became tense and somewhat timid, “I…I know! Chief Xu was promoted from deputy chief to chief… So… He’s having a celebratory banquet tonight!”

“Chief Xu got promoted?” The young woman’s expression also quivered a little.

“Yes, he got promoted. I heard that Chief Xu…has backup from high above,” Deng Zihan pointed upwards, “I…I…I heard it’s the Lin Family…” Saying this, Deng Zihan was already too terrified to continue.

The Lin Family of Binhai! Can a mere deputy chief of a police station like you, casually gossip about them?

“Then…then, Chief Deng…do…do you want to go over and propose a toast?” The young woman eagerly suggested, “This is an opportunity!”

Chief Deng is just a deputy chief of a police station, while Chief Xu is now the director of a district’s public security bureau, and it’s rumored that he’s also been appointed as the secretary of the political and legal committee…

In this society where one level higher of official rank means a world of difference, the administrative levels of the two are simply worlds apart.

In plain terms, Chief Xu could fire Deng Zihan with a single word!

Of course, conversely, a slight push from Chief Xu could also propel Deng Zihan’s political career to the next level!

A turning point, hinging on a single thought!

Originally, Chief Xu hadn’t invited Deng Zihan to this celebration banquet, as Deng Zihan was not deemed qualified for the guest list.

But now, a fortuitous meeting presented Deng Zihan with an opportunity of a lifetime!

“Good… very good…” Deng Zihan stood up immediately. “I’ll go and offer a toast. I’ll go right away.”

With his heart burning with ambitious fervor, Deng Zihan thought to himself that he could leverage Chief Xu’s good mood today by making flattering remarks. Perhaps, Chief Xu might remember him favorably afterwards.

Deng Zihan grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass from the table, stood up in a hurry, and said, “Apologies, everyone. I will be excusing myself for a while…”

After speaking, Deng Zihan, along with a young woman, hastily left the room, heading to the private room next door where Chief Xu was located.

‘Oh… Brother Xu? He actually made it to the position of Chief.’ Huang Xiaolong chuckled without a hint of emotion.

He had had a few encounters with Chief Xu before.

With Deng Zihan’s departure, Yang Kai was left alone, focused on devouring the dishes on the table. For the time being, no one else came forward to confront Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong took the opportunity to pick up his chopsticks and started eating contentedly.

“Little Long, after we finish our meal, will you really go with me to see Zhong Hui?” Chu Tingting asked anxiously.

“My beautiful teacher… oh, no, Tingting, rest assured. If I promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word.” Huang Xiaolong said, stuffing a piece of roasted chicken into his mouth.

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the room. Several people were approaching their private room.

The door swung open, revealing Deng Zihan in the lead. His face was flushed from the alcohol, apparently having drunk quite a bit in making his toast. But despite his intoxication, he sported a happy smile, his back slightly bent, appearing like a servant leading his master.

Following Deng Zihan was a group of dignified middle-aged men, among whom was Chief Xu.

Chief Xu, too, had had quite a bit to drink, his eyes slightly blurry. But his countenance was radiant, particularly his official’s countenance which was bright yellow and clear purple – the face of a man who had risen in rank and wealth!

“Ladies and Gentlemen! Pay attention! This is our newly appointed Chief Xu of the Public Security Bureau! Chief Xu was in a good mood today. Hearing that we were having a reunion, he wanted to come over to have a drink and chat with us all. Everyone, let’s stand up and welcome Chief Xu!” Deng Zihan exclaimed to everyone in the room, evidently excited.

“Burp” Chief Xu let out a hiccup, his tongue slightly thick. “Drinking… is always more fun… with a group of fellows ho! Everyone, accompany me for a drink tonight!”

“Whoa, Chief Xu, please go slow.” Deng Zihan stated, acting like a eunuch by the emperor’s side, “The idea of drinking is just to enjoy ourselves, so today, just do as you please. As for us, we’ll drink up! Hahaha”

Most of the classmates in the room were ordinary people. Suddenly, a police chief entered the room, making them feel a little nervous and pleasantly surprised.

At this point, every classmate stood up.

Even the bullish Yang Kai stopped eating and drinking, stood up, and cheerfully said, “Oh… this is Chief Xu? Nice to meet you, I’m Yang Kai.”

Huang Xiaolong continued to sit there calmly, engrossed in his meal.

“Little Long… get up… this is the Chief of the Public Security Bureau… you… you should show some respect… stand up…” Chu Tingting whispered.

“Tingting, I’m eating, I won’t get up.” Huang Xiaolong mumbled.

“Damn it!” Deng Zihan flew into a rage. He had taken great pains to invite the honoured Chief Xu and was infuriated at Huang Xiaolong’s lack of respect.

“Stand up! Damn it, you think you’re something else? Do you believe me when I say I could mess you up?!” After having a few drinks, Deng Zihan lost any sense of decorum. “I’ll count to three, if you don’t stand up then, you’ll face the consequences! Idiot!”

“Your mouth is so foul, were you fed shit when you were young?” Huang Xiaolong put down his chopsticks and turned his head to Deng Zihan.

“Uh” Once Chief Xu saw Huang Xiaolong, he seemed to sober up instantly.
