"Hmm?" Chu Wen-Fei was a little surprised by Shen Meng's question. He was stunned for a while before laughing and said, "Mr Shen, you're such a joker. Didn't you just call for me earlier? Why are you pretending not to know me now?"
Shen Meng was even more confused. "I called for Mr Chu earlier."
"That's right!" Chu Wen-Fei slapped his hand against Shen Meng's shoulder again and smiled smugly. "I am Mr Chu.”
"Back at the banquet at Yunjing Hotel, your director and Shen Fei both gave me a toast. Weren't you there too? If you didn't call me Mr Chu, I nearly didn't recognize you."
"But I'm surprised. Weren't you a director at Yunjing Hotel back then? It's only been a few months and you've been transferred here?" Chu Wen-Fei continued speaking in an obviously boastful and showy manner.
"Oh Yingying, come over here quickly. Since you're Mrs Chu, you should come and shake hands with Mr Shen as a kind gesture," laughed Chu Wen-Fei loudly. His eyes were brimming with pride and smugness.
He felt that he was truly amazing and it was impossible to be low profile at all. He had come out to shop randomly and someone actually recognized him.
"Hello, Mr Shen," Qiu Mu-Ying smiled as she shook Shen Meng's hand. Her exquisite face was also filled with smugness.
Her man was such a big shot, so as his wife, she also felt like this was a proud moment for her too!
"Oh, so it's the two of you." Shen Meng obviously recalled who they were now. These two were that crazy couple at that banquet.
Shen Meng remembered that Shen Jiu-Yi had given them a painting he did on a whim and said that it was by Tang Bohu. Hilariously enough, these two goons actually thought it was a great treasure and looked so grateful and excited, they must have thought it was a genuine painting.
He wondered if they had noticed if the painting was fake yet.
But even though Shen Meng was very disgusted by this deluded husband and wife, he remembered that these two were relatives of Mr Chu. So he couldn't offend them either, and had no choice but to smile and shake Qiu Mu-Ying's hand.
"Oh yes, it is our honor to have both of you at our store today. Please have a look around, I'll chat with Mr Chu for a while first."
Shen Meng wasn't interested in wasting time on these two, so he just left them with a couple of words and looked towards Ye Fan again. He put a smile back on and tried to extend his hand at Ye Fan once more.
“Oho, Mr Shen, you're really too kind. You just shook my hand and you want to shake it again? You're so friendly, it makes me feel a little guilty now." Chu Wen-Fei shook Shen Meng's hand again just as Shen Meng stretched his arm out.
Perhaps Chu Wen-Fei was too touched by how friendly Shen Meng was. He shook Shen Meng's hand extra hard and even used both hands. He squeezed Shen Meng's hand so hard that his expression darkened.
Fuck!
What was this about feeling guilty?!
Shen Meng's expression became even grimmer.
He was really going crazy.
Where the hell did this idiot come from?! Shen Meng didn't want to shake his hand at all!
And Shen Meng didn't think Chu Wen-Fei was worthy of shaking his own hand either.
Shen Meng was so angry that he kept cursing Chu Wen-Fei in his heart.
If these two weren't relatives of Mr Chu, Shen Meng would have kicked them to the floor by now.
But no matter how angry Shen Meng was, he couldn't do anything about it.
These two were relatives of Mr Chu, so he dared not offend them.
He sadly gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.
Shen Meng had no choice but to pretend to smile at Chu Wen-Fei's words.
