Chapter 216: Chapter 216: This is the rhythm of a thorough face-slapping! Chapter 216: Chapter 216: This is the rhythm of a thorough face-slapping! At this moment, even Xu Ting was a bit nervous, whispering to Qiangwei, “Brother Hao is in trouble now. Yin Chunyan’s husband is really formidable.”
Qiangwei was not worried at all, “Brother Hao is definitely more awesome than him, just relax.”
Since Yin Chunyan dared to say that, it naturally meant her husband was already on his way. Sure enough, after a short while, the door to the private room opened, and a man in his thirties or forties walked in with a smile, saying as he came, “Honey, I’m here, I’m here! Sorry about that, there was a traffic jam on the way today!”
“Hubby, you’ve come?” Now the savior had appeared, and Yin Chunyan was so excited she was almost in tears!
She had been terrified earlier too, as Wang Hao had been going around the table, challenging each person in turn, and to be honest, when it was her turn, her little heart had nearly leapt out of her chest.
But at least she remembered to call for backup, thus avoiding disgrace.
“I’m here, I’m here,” Yin Chunyan’s husband said with a chuckle, holding her hand, “Aren’t you going to introduce me?”
“My husband, Lei Minghui,” Yin Chunyan announced excitedly, “He works in home renovation. In the future, if any of you need anything, you can come to him!”
This was a big shot! The classmates present instantly relaxed, cheering, “Indeed, Empress Dowager is powerful!”
“Hubby, come quickly,” Yin Chunyan pulled Lei Minghui by the hand towards Wang Hao, with a teasing expression on her face, “Hubby, meet my classmate, Wang Hao. He’s doing really well for himself now. You two should get close, we have to drink well today.”
Normally, with the arrival of the savior, this was the time to ride in with the force of thunder and break through all opposition, but unexpectedly, as soon as Lei Minghui laid eyes on Wang Hao, he broke out into cold sweat and his hands started shaking!
“Hubby, what’s wrong?” Yin Chunyan asked in surprise. “Are you not feeling well?”
“Ah, no… no,” Lei Minghui, forehead drenched in sweat, “Yeah, we should have a good drink, right, Brother Hao?”
Wang Hao sat there, just looking at Lei Minghui with a smile on his face, and slowly said, “Have a seat.”
“Do you two… know each other?” Yin Chunyan was full of suspicion, now she too was a bit stunned, unable to figure out the relationship between the two. The other classmates were also bewildered. Empress Dowager Yin’s husband was a successful man, so why did he react like a mouse who had just seen a cat upon seeing Wang Hao?
“Met before, we’ve met before…” Lei Minghui was sweating profusely and looked completely out of sorts!
“Ah, come on, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, right? Today is a rare occasion,” Wang Hao filled his cup with liquor and said with a smile, “We really should drink up, right?”
“Right, right, right,” without a second word, Lei Minghui grabbed his glass and downed three cups in a row, then cautiously said, “Brother Hao, speaking of which, about last time, please don’t take it to heart. It was all my fault. These three cups are my way of apologizing!”
Yin Chunyan: “…” Xia Fei: “…” Wu Jun: “…” Yu Junpeng: “…” Niu Bochao: “…” Diao Hongru: “…” Cai Mingzhe: “…” Others: “…”
A collective gasp could be heard around the room.
Everyone was completely baffled!
What exactly was going on here? These two knew each other from before? It seemed that Empress Dowager Yin’s husband had past grievances with Wang Hao?
Xia Fei: “This… this is cheating, right?! What’s going on?! Empress Dowager Yin’s husband knows Wang Hao too?!”
Wu Jun: “And it looks like the Empress Dowager’s husband definitely has something that Wang Hao is holding over him!”
Yu Junpeng: “Damn, how the hell did Wang Hao pull this off?! Fucking hell, this is too much! This is cheating! It’s cheating!”
Lu Yu: “It’s over, Wang Hao is unstoppable today! Why on earth did we bother making fun of him, look at our faces now! He’s taking down whoever comes along! I used to think Empress Dowager Yin’s husband would be useful, but he ended up being crushed even worse!”
To be honest, Wang Hao was also quite surprised.
Because he had indeed seen Lei Minghui before…
It was a scorching summer day, and he had just been terribly unlucky at gambling, and it was also when Ice Princess’s cellphone was taken. It happened right in front of that coffee shop, and at that time, Lei Minghui was strolling down the road with his ex-girlfriend Yang Tao…
Who would’ve thought that this guy is actually Empress Dowager Yin’s husband!
“Let it be, it’s all in the past,” Wang Hao waved his hand nonchalantly and then laughed, “But it’s quite a coincidence to see you here today. Enough talk, let’s drink!” Saying this, he picked up his glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then put his arm around Lei Minghui’s shoulder, chuckling, “Lei, I heard you’re in the renovation business now? How’s business been lately?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” at that moment, Wang Hao was like a real brother to Lei Minghui, who was eagerly nodding his head, “Business is not bad, not bad. I’ve just taken on a job these past two days, renovating a company on the top floor of the Dahua Science and Technology Building at Zhenning Lake. It’s decent, quite decent.”
“Wow, that really is quite a coincidence,” Wang Hao said with a cheeky grin, “Actually, that company… it’s mine…”
The crowd around them collapsed again… What on earth does Wang Hao do, and how come everything seems to be connected to him?!
Yin Chunyan was totally dumbfounded! Her husband’s renovation work was actually for Wang Hao’s company!
Looking at her husband now, so afraid of Wang Hao…
“Brother Hao, that company’s really yours?!” Sure enough, Lei Minghui made a swift and decisive decision, “Then there’s no question about it, I’ll do it for free, not a penny will I take!” This is what you call warding off misfortune with money! He was already so grateful that Brother Hao hadn’t brought up that issue!
Yin Chunyan was on the verge of tears! That project was worth at least hundreds of thousands gone!
“Hehe, how could I possibly accept that,” Wang Hao said as he patted Lei Minghui’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’ll still pay the cost price.” Then he tightened his grip slightly around Lei Minghui’s neck, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, “I didn’t say anything today, get it? Take care of that matter later, compensate if you need to, break it off if you have to. I really don’t want to meddle in your family matters, but after all, we’re former classmates, so live your life well in the future.”
“Understood, understood,” Lei Minghui secretly gave a thumbs up, “Brother Hao, your magnanimity knows no bounds!”
“Okay then,” Wang Hao let go, picked up his glass with a cheerful smile, and gestured to Yin Chunyan, “Empress Dowager Yin, enough said. We’re all classmates here, I’ll drink first, you do as you like.” With that, he finished his drink.
Yin Chunyan’s face turned a deep red, she almost wanted to crawl under the table.
At this point, everyone present felt a tingling of the scalp; this Wang Hao was too frightening!
He had reach and influence everywhere!
After finishing his drink, Wang Hao walked over to Diao Hongru, took a deep breath, and then sat down.
“Old Diao, we really should have a proper drink together!” Wang Hao looked at Diao Hongru with a smiling gaze, “If you hadn’t brought it up, I would have nearly forgotten. Back in school, I fought for you, remember? I even got disciplined by the school because of it.”
Diao Hongru was sweating profusely, saying, “I should remember it, definitely should…” while internally grumbling, “Where the hell are those idiots who should be coming?!”
“Right, you should remember,” Wang Hao nodded, “Back then, you were always calling me ‘Brother Hao’ this and ‘Brother Hao’ that. Ah, you’re doing pretty great these days too. Started your own company, driving nice cars; I’m genuinely happy for you. It’s just a bit disappointing today, that girl you invited didn’t show up. But don’t worry, her name’s Zheng Yue, right? Don’t be hasty, I believe she’ll come out of respect for me.”
As he said this, Wang Hao took out his phone and called Zheng Yue, “Hey, Little Yueyue, what are you up to? Nothing much, I’m just at the reunion and thinking of someone to liven up the scene… Yes, yes, no problem, bring them all, Red Club, room number 88.” Then Wang Hao added another sentence, “Right, and also call Ma Ming over, I have something for him too, okay, great.”
After hanging up, Wang Hao wrapped his arm around Diao Hongru’s neck, chuckling, “Old Diao, do you see how I handle things?”
“Yes, yes,” Diao Hongru’s face had turned white.
It was an outright slap in the face, and the most depressing part was that he couldn’t come back at him with anything else.
Beside them, Long Yi winked at Qiangwei and laughed, “Brother Hao is just awesome; he slaps faces right on the spot, without even letting the person fight back, haha! Today was really a spectacle!”
Xia Fei: “Today was a complete disaster, got my face slapped all around by Wang Hao!”
Wu Jun: “It can’t be helped, what else could we do? Who the hell would’ve thought he’d be so impressive now?”
Yu Junpeng: “Let’s not talk about it anymore, the humiliation is set in stone today; I just hope he doesn’t completely crush us, sigh…”
Lu Yu: “Old Diao’s definitely going down too, no doubt about it; today, Wang Hao’s set on slapping faces to the end!”
