Even the staff who called for Code Gray also thought that she should've acted sooner and called for Code Orange instead.
Cold sweat dripped down her cheeks, her back, and her thighs.
[Waaah, someone please save me...]
When Lu Anqing and Yan Rumei separated from their hug, Yan Rumei's eyes darted towards Gu Feng.
[Wow.]
While Yan Rumei's mom just turned 50, Gu Feng is 54 years old this year.
He sports a medium hair length that is swept-back in an elegant and cool style. His hair color is originally black but now there are some grays which he never tried to hide.
He has a clean businessman-like chiseled face which compliments his chosen hairstyle.
His eyes, which refuse to droop even with some visible wrinkles caused by old age, are very sharp which shows that he is an intelligent and venerable man.
Gu Feng was undoubtedly a hunk when he was young. Someone who can make the young ladies swoon just by one look.
Gu Feng also looked at her.
Lu Anqing then immediately introduced him. "Meimei, this is Gu Feng."
"Brother Gu, this is my daughter Yan Rumei."
Everyone's eyelids twitched.
[Brother Gu?]
[Lady!!! This is THE CEO Gu Feng! THE one and only owner of THE Gu Corporation!]
Before everyone could continue their crazy thoughts, they heard a whining voice.
"Qingqing, why do you still call me brother? We're officially married now; you should call me Hubby."
-Booooom-
[Aaa...]
[Aaa...]
[Aaa...]
Everyone's soul left their bodies.
Even Lu Anqing was shocked silly, but she quickly recovered and blushed.
Gu Feng didn't stop there as he continued but now faced Yan Rumei, "Nice to finally meet you. Can I call you Meimei too since you're also now officially my daughter?"
"Of course, in return, you can also just call me dad or father."
-Craaaack-
From a faraway distance, everyone heard a crack from the gateway to the netherworld.
Yan Rumei just stared with wide eyes at Gu Feng.
[This man. Can he be any more straightforward than this?]
[This... this is the legendary CEO Gu Feng?]
[And he's saying this in front of all these people?]
[Mom, why are you blushing in the corner there?]
[Can someone tell me, what the hell is happening?!]
Yan Rumei was stunned for a long while that her mom nudged her and called out, "Meimei."
"Ah... Hnnm." Yan Rumei just nodded to Gu Feng.
There's no way she will be uttering 'Dad' or 'Father' in front of these many people. It's a little embarrassing and it feels a little inappropriate.
Yan Rumei turned to her mom and said, "Mom, sorry. There was a commotion earlier and I'm partially responsible."
"Meimei, we heard what happened. You don't have to worry. Right..." Lu Anqing turned to Gu Feng for help. "H-hubby?"
As soon as she uttered that endearment, her ears also turned red.
Gu Feng smiled with satisfaction. "Hnnn. That's right. No one will blame you, Meimei."
He then turned to look at the majority of diners who were all flabbergasted.
"Good evening, everyone. You've seen and heard what happened today and I hope you can act as witnesses if need be in the future."
"Even though my daughter isn't at fault in any way, she still sincerely apologizes for ruining your meal and experience tonight."
"In regard to this, please do not worry about your bill tonight and let our Gu family treat everyone. This includes both expenses of all rooms that are booked and also everyone who dined on this date. For any already paid expenses, you will be expecting a partial or full refund. Now, please enjoy the rest of the night."
[Wow.]
[All rooms that are booked on this date.]
[All meals. This means we can enjoy an all-you-can-eat service up to midnight, right?]
While all the guests' and diners' thoughts were filled with awe from Gu Feng's announcement, he invited Yan Rumei back to their private room.
As for the old lady and her grandson, who Yan Rumei ignored completely, the old lady asked for her contact number so she could treat her to dinner next time.
Yan Rumei wanted to decline at first, but she realized that the old lady would feel bad if she couldn't repay her kindness, so she gave her phone number.
Yan Rumei, her mom, Gu Feng, and all the bodyguards then made their way to the second floor.
When they're finally out of everyone's sight, some diners couldn't help but ask, "Wait, does that mean I can call my family and they can come to join us for dinner, and everything will still be covered by CEO Gu Feng?"
"Can we have some take-outs?"
"Waiter, are alcoholic drinks included?"
Despite the fact that most of the guests and diners here tonight are all considered rich and high-profile people in City D, the costs of food and rooms in Tianlong Hotel are still quite pricey for them so it wasn't a surprise that many wanted to take advantage of this event.
A restaurant supervisor immediately rushed from the kitchen and pacified the crowd.
"Hello guests and diners, I will answer your questions one by one please."
"We have certain rules on events like this. It's not something new so we hope everyone will listen and adhere to the guidelines."
"First, yes. You can call your family members to join you to enjoy the food and drinks that are available until midnight."
"But take note that you can only invite additional diner(s) that will fit your reserved table. You can have someone leave from your group and replace them with a new diner."
"Second, no. Take-outs or requests for deliveries outside the hotel premises are not permitted. The restaurant had never had this kind of service."
"Everyone can also enjoy alcoholic drinks of any type, but these will only be served by pouring to your glass and not by bottle. Once you finish that glass of drink, and you would like to have more, please feel free to do so."
"However, our staff has the right to determine if they will still pour more for you or not. The restaurant does not tolerate drunk and uncontrollable guests."
The restaurant supervisor promptly answered every question that was asked.
"Are there any more available rooms for tonight?"
When the crowd heard this question, they all sucked in a cold breath.
[Who wouldn't want to spend a night at THE Tianlong Hotel?]
[We'd be lucky if we get a Deluxe Room or even an Executive Room!]
[No, wait... Maybe we can have the legendary Master Suite!]
Some people stood up and were about to rush to the reception desk when the restaurant supervisor's voice rang in their ears one more time.
"The reception desk is temporarily closed for this type of event. All room bookings must be done using the App."
