A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 636 Bully You with Status
"Another day? Is this a joke? Brother Fan and I have driven for nearly two hours just to get here and you tell us to come another day? You think it's fun to play us out? Besides, there are so many people here, so why are we the ones who have to come another day just to make way for your employees? Mr Xu, don't you think this is a little unreasonable? Or do you think that we are not even equivalent to those three employees of yours?"
Shen Fei was furious.
He was the heir to the Shen family and everyone had to be polite around him. This was the first time he had been treated this unfairly, so it was little wonder Shen Fei was so angry.
But Xu Chang-Qing wasn't affected by Shen Fei's words at all.
"Why, is Young Master Shen unhappy with my arrangement? In that case, you can get a refund for your tickets. If you don't want to come again, then don't. Mount Yunyang can do without a few small fry like you guys," said Xu Chang-Qing coldly.
It was clear that he had done this on purpose.
"You!" Shen Fei was livid. This was the first time he had come across someone so unreasonable.
"Mr Xu, that's not the way to conduct a business," said Chen Nan unhappily to Xu Chang-Qing as she walked over. She couldn't stand watching this anymore.
"Oh? And who are you?" Xu Chang-Qing frowned when he saw this pretty young lady stand in front of him. His gaze turned cold.
He never liked busybodies in the first place.
Even if it was a pretty girl!
"I'm Chen Nan, daughter of Chen Ao from Jianghai," said Chen Nan publicly with no expression on her face.
These words of her were like rocks falling into the sea, causing an uproar in the hall.
Everyone was shocked.
"Chen Ao?"
"She's the daughter of the king of Jiangdong, Chen Ao?"
"Oh my, this is going to be a difficult one."
"But seriously, this Miss Chen is really quite pretty."
"I wonder which lucky bum will get to marry her in the future."
The whole hall was in a commotion after they found out who Chen Nan was. Everyone was exclaiming.
They now looked towards Chen Nan with greater respect and reverence.
After all, almost everyone here were the rich and powerful of Jiangdong.
Chen Nan was young, so not everybody knew her name.
But everyone definitely knew Chen Ao's name!
Before Mr Chu rose up, at least ten out of the eighteen cities in Jiangdong were under his control!
Now that Chen Ao's daughter was here, everyone was naturally surprised.
They just felt that this show was going to get more exciting now.
"Haha! I was wondering who would dare to act so boldly in front of me. So it's Chen Ao's daughter. But then again, he's used to being the king of Jiangdong, so you have this illusion that everyone in China must treat you with honor and look up to you," Xu Chang-Qing immediately burst out laughing.
His laughter was loud, sarcastic and even disdainful.
It was as if Chen Nan's background didn't make any difference to him at all.
Chen Nan's voice remained neutral as she continued, "Mr Xu, I think you're mistaken. Fan and I don't need you to treat us with honor or to look up to us. We just want to be treated fairly. We've paid for the tickets and came here for the festival like everyone else. So why does everyone else get a hot spring but only our group has to give way to your staff? Do you think this is fair?"
Chen Nan's slightly angry words echoed in the hall.
She was very angry about this matter as well.
Even though she was from a wealthy family, she never demanded that others give her special treatment. But if she couldn't even be treated fairly, then she found it difficult to remain quiet.
"Fair?" Xu Chang-Qing laughed instead. "Miss Chen, don't you think it's hilarious that you're talking about fairness in front of me?"
"As Chen Ao's daughter, you should know that nothing in this world is fair. There's only status and power. Once you have enough status and power, then you can ignore all the rules."
"So now, I'm the most powerful person in Mount Yunyang, and my words are the rules, therefore everything I say is fair! If you're not happy about this, you can go back and tell your father. I'm going to see if Chen Ao dares to do anything to me," Xu Chang-Qing's arrogant words echoed for a long time.
He continued to stand in the hall with his hands behind his back and looked on at Chen Nan and her friends with disdain and an authoritative look in his eyes.
"You...you're using your status to bully us!" Chen Nan was so angry that she paled.
Chen Nan clearly had not expected Xu Chang-Qing to bully others so openly.
He didn't even bother hiding it.
He was simply too arrogant!
Fan was king of Jiangdong but he wasn't
ridiculous.
Xu Chang-Qing chortled and said, "But you're right about one thing. I am indeed using my status to bully others. You're just the descendant of one tiny Chen family and the daughter of some businessman. What can you do about me?"
Xu Chang-Qing's unreasonable words made Chen Nan so angry that her eyes were red.
This was the first time she had been bullied so badly.
But Xu Chang-Qing was right in saying that because he was someone from a powerful family in Yanjing, her father wouldn't dare to offend him even if he were here.
Even her Fan would have to be afraid of this Xu Chang-Qing.
Xu Chang-Qing's Yanjing background alone was enough to trample on all of Jiangdong.
Chen Nan's eyes were red, but she didn't continue trying to argue down this line of thought anymore.
She looked up and smiled in self-deprecation as she asked Xu Chang-Qing in puzzlement, "Mr Xu, you're right. You're from a powerful family in Yanjing, so nobody in Jiangdong can do anything about you. But the three of us didn't offend you, did we? Why are you picking on us?"
Shen Fei looked at Xu Chang-Qing for an answer as well. He was wondering the same thing.
This was the first time any of them was seeing Xu Chang-Qing and they had no feud in the past. So why were they the ones being chased off?
Xu Chang-Qing looked down at them as he sneered at Shen Fei and Chen Nan. He burst out laughing again. "Since Miss Chen wants to know, fine, I'll do you a favor and tell you the reason."
"It's really simple. You've offended one of my buddies, Ma Ming-Bo! This time, I'm just teaching you guys a simple lesson.
Next time, you'd better keep this in mind."
"Also, Miss Chen, let me remind you that China is huge and Jiangdong is too small. Your family might be very highly respected in Jiangdong, but there's always someone bigger and better out there. To families like mine, the Chens are nothing but ants."
"You can use your status to bully others for the sake of a useless country bumpkin, and I can also use my status to bully you for the sake of my buddy!"
