Chapter 230: A Familiar Face

Insatiable and Black Hole were each staring at one person with their teeth bared. Large droplets of crystalline-like drool hung off the sides of their mouths.
Met with such a strange sight, Mystic Three and Bai Song exchanged a confused glance for a moment. Bai Song was the fastest to figure out the situation. With a few swift moves, he grabbed a few pieces of meat and placed it on the Cerberus's plate.
Insatiable's eyes lit up and it immediately stopped glaring at Bai Song. With a dip of its head, it began to eat heartily.
Mystic Three's mouth twitched violently as he quickly mimicked Bai Song's actions.
Satisfied, Indigestion and Black Hole also lowered their heads and began eating. Since Indigestion was the instigator and the one who came up with the plan to make the two humans serve it food, Insatiable and Black Hole did not continue bullying it and allowed it to eat.
As it ate, Indigestion brought up its paws and patted Bai Song and Mystic Three on their backs, as if it was praising them for being good humans.
'What kind of dog is this? It's almost a spiritual creature now right?'
Bai Yang felt his lips quivering uncontrollably, not knowing if he should laugh or cry. The human-like actions of the Cerberus were extremely funny, and the black paw marks on Bai Song and Mystic Three's shirts looked exceptionally eye catching.
Bai Song chuckled bitterly in his heart as he continued piling more food onto the Cerberus's plate. This dog was undoubtedly a big shot as well!
Thinking back to the domineering demeanor of the Cerberus back at the Lin Clan, Song Bai did not dare to treat this ugly fellow as an ordinary dog. It so easily took down three Evolved Jing masters with just a few swipes of its paws. Based purely on combat ability, Bai Song found to his dismay that he would certainly not be a match for this dog!
Mystic Three also had a constipated expression on his face as he piled some meat onto the Cerberus's plate. 'This is what I get for not choosing my seat properly. Why am I seated next to this fellow?'
In just a short moment, the two men and a dog began to develop some coordination in their movements. The two humans worked hard to serve the dog more food, while the latter lapped up whatever came its way in an efficient manner.
At the same time, in another dining room, Zhao Zhen was wreathed in smiles as he toadied up to a middle-aged man. As he did so, his eyes would flicker to the bountiful chest on the female beside the man from time to time.
"President Nan, choosing to deal with our company will definitely not be a wrong decision! We are the only ones who can offer you such preferential terms!"
Zhao Zhen's face was the very picture of sincerity. For the sake of securing this huge client, he'd truly gone all out and employed every method in his book. Eating, drinking, and entertaining him. This particular night, he'd decided to bring the target to Fuzhou's best five star hotel for a meal, using the chance to secure the deal.
"Little Zhao, your character is not bad, and you know how to conduct yourself. But this price still does not meet the amount in my heart. If you can lower the amount further, I will sign the contract on the spot!"
Nan Ming picked up his glass and swirled the red wine absentmindedly. The girl beside him looked up and smiled, seemingly gazing at him with a worshipful expression.
"President Nan, this price is already the lowest we can offer; and this is also after I've discussed with the higher-ups on your behalf before getting them to agree to it! Right now, Detached Villas are very high in demand properties. If we delay further, other people might want to stick a foot in the deal as well!" Zhao Zhen explained with an anxious expression, as though he truly meant well.
For the sake of securing this deal, he'd invested over 70,000 to 80,000 yuan! Just this meal alone cost him several tens of thousand! But in comparison to the amount of commission he would get if he secured this deal, this bit of money was not worth a mention at all!
Zhao Zhen only dared to invest so heavily after confirming that President Nan truly had the financial capabilities and the intentions to buy.
Although Zhao Zhen's character was questionable, one had to admit that he was really a born salesman. He'd already managed to buy a house and a car in Fuzhou through his abilities, and could be considered to have succeeded in life.
Nan Ming fell silent at this, not saying anything.
'There's a chance!'
Seeing Nan Ming's contemplative expression, he knew that the wealthy fellow was already tempted. Zhao Zhen also fell silent, allowing Nan Ming to deliberate on the decision. Speaking further at this point would instead result in the opposite effect.
"Alright! Let's schedule a time tomorrow with the seller and sign the contract!" Nan Ming finally broke the silence and said.
"No problem, I will make a phone call and arrange everything later on!"
Zhan Zhen was so excited that his tone also began to quicken. The commission from this deal was enough to allow him to buy a pretty good house in Fuzhou Second Ring!
The rest of the evening continued in a joyful mood as the trio ate, drank, and laughed relaxedly. Finally, Zhao Zhen and Nan Ming emerged with smiles on their faces.
"Hm? Waitress, come here for a moment."
As he walked past another dining room, Nan Ming furrowed his brows and beckoned to a waitress nearby.
"Hello Sir, how can I help you?"
Xiao Li walked over with a smile.
"You guys are being dishonest with your customers! Do you serve your dishes based on the status of the guests?"
Nan Ming stormed to the resting area and sat down while he waited for the waitress to reply.
"Sir, the dishes we serve here are all written on the menu..." Whether Nan Ming was right or not, Xiao Li simply replied with the most standard answer.
"Then, explain to me what are the dishes the people in that dining room were served?"
Nan Ming pointed unkindly at the dining room he'd just passed.
"Good day."
"Xiao Li, what happened?"
A middle-aged man walked over and greeted Nan Ming first before turning to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li lowered her tone and reported the entire issue to Dong Chengmo. Nodding lightly, Dong Chengmo gestured for Xiao Li to back off.
"Hello Sir, that room was reserved by our boss to entertain some V.I.P guests. The ingredients are also not for sale to the other customers."
Dong Chengmo was the one who brought the ingredients up to the kitchen along with Bai Song. As such, he knew from the way Bai Song was handling the meat that the guests must be extraordinary.
"Hmph! I insist on eating the same thing! Tell your boss to come out! I'm really curious about how they run their business. Do you all look down on me?" Nan Ming leaned back on the couch and demanded. As his voice was loud, he'd managed to draw the eyes of the other customers.
"Hoho, someone actually dared to create trouble here? If the complaint is within reason, that'll still be fine. But if the fellow is just messing around without reason, that would be where the real fun starts," a man said and smiled as he turned to the companion beside him.
"Right, the last time, a violent customer from overseas molested our female staff. In the end, his arm was broken after being dragged out and given a violent beating!" the person beside the man said with a laugh, rousing the crowd's interest further.
"My apologies, the boss is not receiving any guests this evening." Dong Chengmo smiled lightly and replied directly, still rejecting Nan Ming's request.
"Are you bullying your customers because your hotel is big?! Let me tell you, President Nan is a person with status! His net worth is enough to buy several hotels just like this!" Zhao Zhen naturally spoke up for Nan Ming. Afterall, this was his big client!
"I insist on meeting him! I want to see whether your boss can tolerate having such a rude staff like you under him!"
Nan Ming was properly enraged. Rejecting him on all fronts? Do you really think your boss is such a big shot?!
Even the governor of the city had met with him on several occasions, but now, he couldn't even see the boss of a mere hotel?
Nan Ming stood up as if to barge into the dining room. But with a shift of his body, Dong Chengmo blocked infront of Nan Ming. "Customer, our hotel does not welcome you anymore. Please leave."
Normally, Dong Chengmo would not handle matters like this. However, Boss Bai Song had personally instructed him earlier that the guest in the dining room must not be disturbed no matter what. Thus, Dong Chengmo had the freedom to act without fear.
"You are just a mere general manager; do you believe that I have a hundred ways to play you to death?! Get lost!"
Nan Ming raised his hand with annoyance and sent a slap at Dong Chengmo.
"Peng!"
The crisp slap that he'd imagined did not appear. Rather, it was a dull thudding sound as Nan Ming's wrist was caught by Dong Chengmo.
Although the commotion was happening right outside of the dining room, the people within were completely deaf to it. The room itself was completely soundproof, so even if there were people screaming their lungs out outside, as long as the door was closed, not a shred of sound would travel into the room. This was to protect the privacy of the guests in the room.
"You dare to touch me?! Do you believe that I can make a call right now and get some men to wreck your broken hotel?!"
Nan Ming used all his strength and tugged on his hand. But no matter what he did, his arm remained tightly secured.
"What's going on?"
Bei Feng and the rest had just finished eating and drinking to their fill and were coming out of the dining room when they were greeted with this ridiculous sight. Bai Song furrowed his brows deeply and asked as an unpleasant expression came over his face.
"Eh?"
Bei Feng cocked his head to the side with surprise before breaking out into a light smile. This was a familiar face which he hadn't seen in a long time!
