Lin Hao's voice was very calm, and also very indifferent. The slap he delivered seemed like an insignificant act, to the point that he hadn't even deigned to look directly at Wang Rong.
Wang Rong only felt a buzzing in her head. The slap had stunned her to the core.
And she wasn't the only one who was stunned.
So were Lin Zhongyu and the hundreds of guests present in the hall.
Next to them, Yu Sen was also slightly frowning.
This slap, falling on Wang Rong's face, was also a slap to his own face, because everyone present knew that standing behind Wang Rong was him, Yu Sen!
And as for Yu Sen's status, if not the strongest backing among everyone here, it was almost so.
The room fell into a brief silence.
Shortly after.
Wang Rong finally came to her senses, glared, and yelled, "You, you little rascal, how dare you hit me!"
"Do you know who I am, do you know whose turf this is!" Wang Rong screamed in horror and fury.
Lin Hao did not speak, just silently watched her. Everything that needed to be said had already been said; he would not waste another drop of saliva on such a person.
"Manager Wang, what happened?" At this moment, Manager Lu finally noticed the situation here and jogged over from a short distance. Seeing the palm print on Wang Rong's face, he was quite frightened.
"Manager Lu, can any riffraff come in here?" Lin Zhongyu was also furious, never expecting that a young man would dare lay a hand on his wife.
"What happened?" Manager Lu called over a server and asked.
The server recounted the incident, and Manager Lu's face grew increasingly ugly.
Someone dared to hit Wang Rong!
If it had happened elsewhere, he surely wouldn't care, but this was his own banquet, and Wang Rong was not only the wife of Lin Zhongyu, but her own brother was even a police captain!
Moreover, she was working for Yu Sen!
All these factors combined meant that Wang Rong's presence today was already an honor. He, a minor company president, even with ten times the courage, would not dare to provoke her.
"Who is this guy?" Manager Lu asked.
"Zhou Ziwei's nephew."
"What?" Manager Lu furrowed his brows, "Where is she?"
"She went out to help company staff buy something."
After Manager Lu understood the situation, his face was extremely grim, but he forced a smile and said apologetically to Lin Zhongyu and Wang Rong, "Manager Lin, Manager Wang, I'm sorry, I haven't taken good care of this. Let me handle this guy."
"Letting you handle it, what right do you have to handle this?!" Wang Rong, holding her face, furiously said, "Just chase him away and that's it? Do you think Wang Rong is really that easy to bully?"
"Then... what would you suggest we do, Manager Wang..." Manager Lu cautiously inquired.
"Get out of the way." Wang Rong rudely pushed Manager Lu aside. He frowned but dared not say much more.
"Manager Wang, please calm down." It was then that Yu Sen finally spoke. He stepped forward, "Since this started because of me, let me end it. It will also let Shi Ran see the difference between people, and understand your painstaking efforts."
"Good, Yu Sen, leave him to you." Seeing Yu Sen, even though her face was stinging, Wang Rong still forced a smile. In front of Yu Sen, she was like a tail-wagging dog.
Yu Sen nodded slightly.
Then, he turned around and looked at Lin Hao: "Most people here are business elites, each with a lofty status. Someone like you is just a mere accessory in this place."
"Don't say we're bullying you. Now, I, Yu Sen, am giving you an opportunity. As long as you crawl from under my legs, then you can leave here standing."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand my wrath."
Yu Sen always had a glass of red wine in his hand. After speaking, he leisurely took a sip, as if everything was under control.
And his words also caused a whisper among the attendees:
"Who is this person, he seems very powerful."
"You don't know him? Yu Sen, the second son of the Yu Group, just returned from overseas, rumored to be interested in Manager Lin's daughter."
"Manager Lin's daughter is indeed beautiful, the school beauty of Binhai Middle School, truly a beauty in the making."
"Goodness, the second son of the Yu Group, how can this lad dare to provoke such a person, he's doomed today..."
"..."
Most of the guests were business elites, all from the same circle, and they all knew about Yu Sen's identity.
Yu Sen's parents were worth billions, ranking among the top figures in the whole Binhai City. His grandfather was rumored to have intricate connections with the top leader of Binhai City. His elder brother, also a prominent figure at Binhai University, stands at the pinnacle.
With such a background, Yu Sen was born with a golden key in his mouth.
They truly couldn't understand where Lin Hao got the courage to provoke this 'Your Highness'.
"Mr. Yu, sorry, so sorry..." Just then, an anxious voice came from outside the crowd, and immediately, the surrounding people opened up a pathway.
Zhou Ziwei's face was somewhat pale, and she hurried through the pathway, arriving in front of Lin Hao.
Manager Lu had already phoned her, and she knew what had happened.
However, she did not blame Lin Hao.
Because Lin Hao was not in the wrong.
The wrong lay in the injustice of the world.
Zhou Ziwei put on a smile, full of apologies, "Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry, my nephew is young and hot-blooded, he doesn't understand the ways of the world, and he has caused you trouble. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Mr. Yu, Manager Lin, Manager Wang, esteemed managers, today is Manager Lu's birthday. Please, for his sake, let's drop the matter. I'll take him away right away."
As she spoke, Zhou Ziwei did not wait for their response; she had long been in the workplace and knew better than to wait for a response, taking Lin Hao's arm, ready to leave.
However.
A hand blocked in front of Zhou Ziwei.
This hand belonged to Yu Sen.
He was still composed, his face filled with endless arrogance: "Face? I give this face to Manager Lu, but does Manager Lu dare accept it?"
Towards the end, he looked at Manager Lu.
Manager Lu's whole body trembled, furious yet not daring to utter a word.
Because with just one word from Yu Sen, both he and his company might not be able to survive in Binhai. It was bad enough if it was just him, but thousands of people in the company would lose their jobs because of this, a responsibility he could not bear.
"He is your nephew, right? I've said, if he crawls under my legs, today's matter will be concluded, and you both can leave here standing."
"This is a humiliation!" Zhou Ziwei bellowed.
"If you think it is a humiliation, then..." Yu Sen smiled smugly, "then indeed, this is a humiliation!"
It was indeed a humiliation.
Yu Sen wanted to show Lin Shiran that here, Lin Hao was nothing!
Only he, Yu Sen, was the King!
And Lin Hao was nothing more than trash he could humiliate and manipulate at will!
