C14 Banquet

The Chu family started from H Country and gradually expanded their influence worldwide. To facilitate management, they deliberately appointed regional supervisors.

H Country is divided into the South and North regions. The South region is responsible for the southern part of H Country and consists of seven subdivisions. The North region oversees the northern part of H Country and has six subdivisions.

Wai Jiayi was one of the supervisors in the Northern region, specifically in charge of the first subdivision, which included Yuncheng.

The northern part of H Country had over a dozen provinces, each governed by a supervisor from one of the six regions, with each person responsible for at least two provinces.

In a way, it was somewhat reminiscent of the feudal system of ancient times.

Although Wai Jiayi was only responsible for this particular region, his power and status should not be underestimated. Even the mayor of Yuncheng had to show deference in his presence.

Utilizing the family's influence to handle matters in Yuncheng was akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Chu Hee now worked and lived in Yuncheng and would inevitably need to interact with Wai Jiayi. So, having a meal with him was necessary.

Chu Hee casually strolled around, and at 6 o'clock, he checked in at the company. As soon as work was over, he hurriedly rode his electrocar to the Heaven Look Hotel.

Upon reaching his destination, he noticed only one parking spot left in the parking lot and decided to park his electrocar there. However, he was stopped by a security guard.

"Hey! Why did you park your crappy electrocar here?"

Chu Hee frowned and asked, "Where is the parking spot?"

"This is for cars. Besides, don't you see where you are?"

With those words, Chu Hee realized the security guard was looking down on him.

"I'm here to have a meal. Why can't I park here?"

The security guard laughed, "I guess you're here for the leftovers, aren't you? Get lost and don't tarnish the image of this place."

Just as he said that, a dazzling Santana pulled up.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Kai stepped out of the car without even glancing at Chu Hee.

The security guard immediately ran up with a big grin and said, "Young Master Zhang, there's someone here who insists on parking his electrocar in the parking spot. I was just about to deal with him."

At this moment, the passenger-side window rolled down, and Lin Fengyu stuck her head out, looking at him disdainfully.

"Chu Hee, move out of the way!"

The security guard hesitated and nervously asked, "Young Master Zhang, do you know him?"

Zhang Kai smiled slightly, "We've met before, but we're not close."

Chu Hee felt a bit annoyed, but considering that today was Lin Fengxue's treat and not wanting to embarrass her, he suppressed his anger and moved his electrocar to the side.

Zhang Kai and Lin Fengyu got out of the car.

"Chu Hee, our family's hotel is at least a high-end one. If you don't have a car, you could have taken a taxi. Do you have to ride your electrocar here and make a fool of yourself?"

Lin Fengyu chimed in, "Seriously, don't you care about embarrassing yourself and others? Your electrocar lowers the standard of the Heaven Look Hotel just by being here."

Chu Hee took a deep breath and swallowed his anger.

"So, what should I do with my bike?"

Zhang Kai casually pointed, "Just park it on the main road. No one's going to steal your beat-up electrocar."

Lin Fengyu was still puzzled.

"Why did my sister suddenly want to treat us at the Heaven Look Hotel? Chu Hee, do you know what's going on?"

Chu Hee shook his head and pushed his electrocar away without bothering to say a word.

Lin Fengyu stomped her foot in anger, shouting after Chu Hee's retreating figure, "Chu Hee, what's with your attitude?"

"Yu, forget it, he's the kind of person who will never fit in. Why bother getting upset with him? I think Chu Hee has been home for too long; he doesn't understand anything. Well, let's go inside for now."

Lin Fengyu nodded, calmed herself down, and walked toward the hotel with Zhang Kai.

After dealing with his electrocar, Chu Hee also entered the hotel. Although the security guard didn't stop him, he looked down on him.

Due to the large group, Lin Fengxue had reserved a private dining room.

A female colleague entered the room and glanced around in amazement, exclaiming with excitement, "Wow, this is definitely a high-end hotel! Just look at the decoration; it's like a palace. We're incredibly fortunate to have Fengxue's generosity this time. Otherwise, I'd never have the courage to step foot in such a luxurious place."

Another female colleague chimed in, "Absolutely! And I heard that the head chef here is a top-notch international chef. A full table of his dishes costs at least ten thousand!"

Wang Tongtong appeared like a regular customer, calm and composed.

"Don't act like you've never seen the world before; the prices here aren't that high. Last time my boyfriend brought me here, a meal only cost a little over two thousand. The main thing is that the chef's dishes are hard to come by, only those with status can taste them."

Following this, Wang Tongtong looked at Lin Fengxue and smiled, "By the way, Fengxue, isn't this the restaurant owned by your brother-in-law? Can you arrange for us to taste the chef's dishes and see how good they are?"

"But..."

Lin Fengxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, unsure of what to do. Zhang Kai and her sister hadn't confirmed their marriage yet; they were just dating.

If she made such a request, it would seem rather presumptuous.

Just then, Zhang Kai and Lin Fengyu walked in.

"Sis, we're here!"

Upon seeing a room full of people, Lin Fengyu looked somewhat surprised.

"So many people showed up; I thought it was just going to be a family dinner."

Lin Fengxue smiled and said, "Today is a special occasion, so I invited everyone to celebrate."

Lin Fengyu had a cold and discontented expression.

"Sis, although this restaurant belongs to my boyfriend's family, you can't just take advantage of him like this, right? If it were just our family, Zhang Kai could cover the bill, but with so many people..."

Zhang Kai stopped Lin Fengyu and smiled dismissively.

"Don't worry about it; it's just a meal. It's no big deal for me. Let's all enjoy the food today, and I'll foot the bill."

"No, Zhang Kai, there's no need for you to treat. Today is a special occasion, so I'm treating everyone," Lin Fengxue explained with a smile.

Lin Fengyu snorted and curled her lips, "What kind of good news can make you generously take out so much money to treat us? Aren't you saving money to buy a house?"

As Lin Fengyu spoke, she suddenly realized something. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Sis, could it be that you've changed your mind and are finally going to divorce Chu Hee? If that's the case, it's definitely worth celebrating!"
