Chapter 653
Dispute
Before Bai Su Su could speak, Zhang Jimin threw the piece of paper with Su Lingyi's contact information on the ground, stepped forward and said coldly to Su Lingyi and Li Meijia: "You two little girls look so young, why are you talking so harshly? This is our private room, get out now!"
In the past, when Zhang Jimin spoke a little harshly, people in front of him would be very timid for the sake of face.
But it’s not that easy now.
Li Meijia and Su Lingyi are not Zhang Jimin's patients or subordinates, and they are not in a situation where they need anything from him, so they naturally won't indulge him.
After hearing what Zhang Jimin said, Li Meijia said, "Haha, you have something important to do? You are in such a hurry to get us out, old man. I think you are in a hurry to do something shameful."
Su Lingyi even said sarcastically: "That's right, looking at your appearance, you are probably a small leader, right? You think this is your company, you order us around, I won't tolerate you!"
Li Meijia nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. There is a bad trend in society right now. Many company leaders like to stay in the company and work overtime in vain, just to show off and earn some emotional value. This is not your company now, you'd better behave yourself, Mr. Deng."
Zhang Jimin was so angry at what Li Meijia and the others said that he was almost out of breath.
Zhang Jimin is a doctor himself, and his working and living environment in the past was very respected.
In addition, he was well-known for his superb medical skills and was a well-known figure in Dongjiang. He had never been treated like this before.
So for a moment, I choked on my breath.
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen didn't bother to respond to Li Meijia and Su Lingyi who were making unreasonable demands. She hurried forward to support her grandfather, and then with a nervous look on her face, she put her hands on her grandfather's chest and made heart-soothing movements. After a while, Grandpa Zhang Jimin finally came to his senses.
Gu Mingchuan, who was standing aside, knew Bai Susu's character and thought that Bai Susu was forced to attend the business banquet. Although he hated this practice from the bottom of his heart, he thought about his own departure without saying goodbye and felt that he owed Bai Susu too much. He quickly walked up to Bai Susu, stretched out his hand, grabbed Bai Susu's arm and said, "Susu, follow me!"
When Su Lingyi saw what Gu Mingchuan did, she became angry. She thought that even God was helping her today by letting Gu Mingchuan see the dirtiest side of Bai Suzhen. She didn't expect that after seeing this scene, Gu Mingchuan still chose Bai Suzhen. She stood there and stomped her feet angrily.
Li Meijia, who was standing next to her, saw Su Lingyi looking angry and kept comforting her.
At this time, Bai Su Su, whose arm was held by Gu Mingchuan, finally reacted. She shook off Gu Mingchuan's hand, turned her head and said in a strong voice: "What are you doing? Get out of here. I don't know you!"
Gu Mingchuan looked at Bai Susu and said affectionately, "Susu, I know I was not kind to you back then, but that was because... because... I had my own difficulties. Don't treat yourself like this anymore. Follow me and I'll take care of you from now on, okay?"
After saying this, he was about to pull Bai Suzhen away.
Back then, Bai Su Su's heart was completely devoted to Gu Mingchuan. Her love was passionate and pure. She treated him wholeheartedly and her heart and eyes were filled with his figure. But Gu Mingchuan disappeared completely from her world without a word. Those countless nights of tossing and turning, with her pillow wet with tears, from her full of expectations to her disappointed despair, all turned into thorns in Bai Su Su's heart.
Bai Susu could feel Gu Mingchuan's sincerity towards her, but so what? Didn't he still abandon her and leave?
She had finally come out of the pain these years, and now he suddenly appeared, acting affectionately. Bai Su Su felt it was ridiculous. The belated affection was cheaper than grass. Bai Su Su said to Gu Mingchuan angrily: "Haha, you have your own reasons? If you have your own reasons, can you just leave without saying a word? The past is the past, we all have our own lives, please leave immediately!"
Gu Mingchuan was also a little annoyed and said, "You are now groveling here to keep others company. Is this what you call life? In my heart, you have always been noble and pure. How can I watch you fall to this?"
Bai Su Su didn't explain anything, and said angrily: "It's my freedom to live whatever life I want. What does it have to do with you?"
Zhang Jimin coughed and frowned and said, "We are holding a ceremony to pay respect to our teacher here. Get out! Get out now!"
Li Meijia said quickly: "Haha, your explanation is too far-fetched. What era is this? How can you kneel down to pay homage to your master? Besides, you look so young, about the same age as us, and you drive a broken pickup truck. What can we learn from you!"
Ever since Xu Boan founded the Bonsai World, he looks like he is in his twenties although he is in his thirties. He is very young. Even if they can see that Xu Boan is actually in his thirties, they would not believe that someone like Xu Boan can be a teacher. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, those who can be masters are not gray-haired old men. They have to be at least forty or fifty years old. After all, only when one is older and has experienced more things can he have sufficient experience!
Besides, these days, those who can seriously accept the role of being apprenticed to others must be successful in their careers, and they must be dressed decently.
Right now this person doesn’t have any branded items on his body, and all of their clothes are not as expensive as a pair of his socks. Who would believe him if he said he wanted to be a master?
They felt that Xu Bo'an's excuse was the lamest excuse they had ever heard in their lives.
Su Lingyi added: "Meijia, you are absolutely right. Who has ever seen such a young man dressed so poorly as a master? I'm afraid that pickup truck was borrowed from someone. Susu, you must not be fooled by them!"
Gu Mingchuan, who was standing aside at this time, was already very angry. Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, and with Su Lingyi and Li Meijia instigating him, he looked at Xu Bo'an with a fierce look in his eyes. How could this evil culprit say such a thing in a high-sounding manner? What a shameless guy.
He looked at Xu Boan in anger, without saying anything, and without further ado, stretched out his fist and wanted to punch Xu Boan. When Bai Susu saw Gu Mingchuan's move, she quickly stood in front of Xu Boan. Gu Mingchuan saw that the person standing in front of him was Bai Susu, and quickly wanted to retract his outstretched fist, but it was too late. Bai Susu, who had no time to dodge, was already prepared to be beaten. She frowned, closed her eyes tightly, and turned her head to the side nervously.
When Xu Boan saw that Gu Mingchuan's fist was about to hit Bai Susu's cheek, he finally moved. Xu Boan quickly stretched out his hand and locked Gu Mingchuan's fist firmly in his hand. Gu Mingchuan's fist was suspended in mid-air and could not move. Bai Susu, who was standing between the two of them, saw that the fist did not fall on her, so she slowly opened her eyes and saw Xu Boan's hand blocking her about one centimeter in front of her, and Gu Mingchuan's fist was firmly held by Xu Boan's powerful big hand and stopped in front of her.
Feeling that Gu Mingchuan's fist had no strength left, Xu Boan slowly loosened his hand. Gu Mingchuan looked at Xu Boan unconvinced, but Xu Boan ignored him.
Bai Su Su looked at Gu Mingchuan angrily and said, "Gu Mingchuan, I used to think you were a very rational person, but now you are beating people up without knowing the truth. You are really going too far."
Gu Mingchuan looked at Bai Susu and said earnestly, "Susu, can you be more rational? This man just treats you as a socialite. I took action just to vent your anger, but you still protect him. What are you thinking?"
From Gu Mingchuan's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what he did. Just imagine, no matter how rational a man is, when he sees the person he deeply loves being a socialite, who can control his anger? If he can restrain himself from getting angry, it obviously means he doesn't love her. Gu Mingchuan is a very rational person at ordinary times, but he couldn't help but act violently when he saw the person he deeply loves abusing himself here. In fact, Gu Mingchuan did nothing wrong.
From Bai Susu's perspective, Bai Susu was not wrong. She was here to become a disciple, but it was misinterpreted as a business dinner? She was already very angry about being misunderstood, and when Gu Mingchuan wanted to hit him, Bai Susu became even angrier.
They were two people who once loved each other deeply, but their meeting today was only due to the wrong timing, which led to misunderstandings between them.
Standing behind Bai Susu was Xu Bo'an, whom she now admired and who saved her life. Standing in front of her was Gu Mingchuan, whom she loved deeply but left her without a word.
Even Bai Suzhen herself did not realize that the balance in her heart had already tilted towards Xu Boan.
When Bai Su Su heard them insulting Xu Bo'an like this, she was immediately furious. The reason why Xu Bo'an came to the Imperial Hotel today was because she had specially invited him to pay homage to him as his disciple. She couldn't involve the innocent Xu Bo'an because of her personal affairs.
Before Xu Boan could speak, Bai Susu said, "Don't worry about my business. Get out immediately. If you don't, I will notify the hotel security department to deal with this matter!"
Su Lingyi said, "Susu, we have been classmates for many years. Would I harm you? Mingchuan and I are doing this completely for your own good. We are afraid that you will be deceived. Don't be ungrateful!"
Su Lingyi turned to Gu Mingchuan and said, "Mingchuan, this woman is too unreasonable. Since she wants to degenerate like this, there is nothing we can do. Let's go!"
Gu Mingchuan couldn't understand why Bai Suzhen had become like this after not seeing her for so many years. He felt extremely sad and speechless.
Su Lingyi's words were particularly harsh to Bai Susu's ears. This Su Lingyi always targeted her when she was in school. Bai Susu naturally heard the sarcasm in her words and said to Su Lingyi coldly, "You are really nosy. Get out now! Otherwise, I will really call the security guard."
Su Lingyi smiled and said, "Susu, Susu, I advise you not to waste your energy. My father has a very good relationship with the general manager of the Dynasty Hotel. Even if you call the hotel security, it will be useless!"
Just when Xu Boan was about to speak, Lin Shan walked in. Xu Boan didn't say anything more. Lin Shan was the boss here, and it was perfect for him to handle this matter.
Lin Shan had just finished his business outside and thought Xu Boan should still be in the hotel, so he wanted to come up and say hello to Xu Boan and give him a drink or something. Unexpectedly, Lin Shan heard what Su Lingyi said as soon as he entered the door.
Although Lin Shan was unhappy, he didn't pay attention to Su Lingyi and the others before he knew the whole story. Instead, he walked straight towards Xu Boan.
Lin Shan walked to a place not far in front of Xu Boan and greeted him warmly, "Brother Boan, I came here uninvited. I hope I didn't disturb you!"
Xu Bo'an pointed at Su Lingyi and said to Lin Shan, "Brother Lin, you came at the right time. This woman said that her father has a very good relationship with the general manager of your hotel and threatened to kick us out. Please handle this matter."
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Lin Shan frowned and said, "Oh? There is such a thing? You come to our own hotel and someone wants to chase you away? I want to see who has such a big tone."
It was only after this conversation that Su Lingyi realized that the man who had just entered the box was the owner of the Dynasty Hotel!
Because she had been here to eat before and was treated by the general manager, Su Lingyi had the honor of meeting Lin Shan. Lin Shan even toasted them out of respect, but it was so long ago that Su Lingyi had forgotten it. Now that Lin Shan's words and deeds revealed his identity, Su Lingyi recalled it all at once.
At this moment, Su Lingyi was very panicked. Everyone knew that the Dynasty Hotel was the leading star hotel in Dongjiang City. The owner here had a very high social status. It was already a great honor for her father to be on good terms with the professional manager of the hotel. The owner of the hotel was not someone they could afford to offend.
Before Lin Shan could speak, Su Lingyi changed her aggressive look and said, "I'm sorry, this... this is all a misunderstanding. Sorry to bother you. I'll leave now."
Lin Shan frowned and was about to speak to stop her, but Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we have something important to do today, let them go first."
Xu Bo'an is not really that magnanimous. Although he is the type of person who will give you a foot in return, he also has the idea that "if you take a step back, you will suffer more; if you endure for a while, you will get angrier."
The reason why he suddenly became so magnanimous was that just now, Xu Boan realized that something inside the bonsai was calling him.
The most important thing in the world is the bonsai, Xu Bo'an doesn't want to waste time here. (End of this chapter)
