Chu Feng glanced at them coldly and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Chu Feng, chairperson of Feng Yun Group with a market value of 50 billion dollars."
He continued to ignore Xu Yiming's extended hand. "In Jiangling, I wouldn't have bothered to shake hands with a small fry like you."
At that moment, everyone's jaw dropped, and the atmosphere turned tense for an entire two minutes.
"Hahaha, you're telling me you're the chairperson of Feng Yun Group? Everyone knows that the chairperson of Feng Yun Group is Ms. Yun Muqing!" Xu Yiming smirked disdainfully. "Or maybe… Don't tell me you're that mysterious Mr. Chu of Jiangbei! Heheh…"
The other guests at the table snickered and scoffed, and they regarded Chu Feng like an idiot.
To them, the mysterious Mr. Chu was a figure worthy of legends. How could the unremarkable country bumpkin in front of them be compared to him?
Zhou Yong coughed awkwardly and tried to salvage the situation for Chu Feng. "Feng, I know you're happy to see me, but haven't you had a little too much to drink? Don't drink too much if you can't. Let me bring you home to rest…"
"I'm not drunk, Uncle Yong. I really am Mr. Chu," Chu Feng said calmly. "Also, I've solved the problem with your contract with Hongtu Corporation for you. I met Li Hongtu earlier, and he promised me he'll settle the matter to your satisfaction."
Zhou Yong's facial muscles went taut. He was so embarrassed he did not know what to say anymore.
"Hahahaha!" Xu Yiming doubled over with laughter. "You're telling me you're Mr. Chu, and you met Li Hongtu earlier? Don't you know that Li Hongtu had been abroad for a business trip, and he only returned two hours ago? I've been trying to contact him, and I only managed to get in touch with Liu Xuan, his secretary! You're telling me that the first thing a multibillionaire boss like Li Hongtu does after returning to Yenching is not to hold business meetings or engage with his shareholders but spend two hours with a country bumpkin like you?"
Chu Feng nodded. "That's right."
"Hahahaha!" Everyone began to laugh.
Yu Hui cackled mockingly. Zhou Li scoffed arrogantly as though she was looking at a clown making a fool of himself.
Even Zhou Yong seemed displeased. He said sternly, "You've disappointed me enough, Feng! You might come from a poor family, but you used to be kind, honest, and responsible. Look at what you've become now! You're a compulsive liar who only wants attention for himself! Don't you hear what you say? You say you're Mr. Chu of Feng Yun Group, and you even met Li Hongtu! Do you think people will respect you after telling these lies? No, that will only make you a clown. I hope you can be down-to-earth and find an honest job for yourself, Feng. As long as you're hardworking, you're bound to achieve success one day!"
Zhou Yong felt very sorry for Chu Feng. His eyes were even moist with tears.
Chu Feng stood up slowly and said, "Uncle Yong, I understand that you might find it hard to accept the truth. I don't blame you, and I know that you're always looking out for me. One day, you will know who I really am. I'll be leaving now. Let's have a drink sometime."
Chu Feng turned around and left the room. He was not going to bother to explain himself to the others.
