1592 An Attack On The Chief Steward’s Pride
Huo Changfeng sat in the car in annoyance. As he thought about his conversation with Min Yu at the café, he could not suppress himself and said to his subordinate, “What do you think the kid was trying to say? Was that a provocation? Why does it feel like he was doing it on purpose?”
“Damn it. Someone younger than me had me fooled. If people found out, I would be made a laughingstock.”
The more Huo Changfeng spoke, the angrier he got.
His subordinate glanced into the rearview mirror cautiously while he drove. When they were talking about the weapons trade in the café, they looked as though they were very chummy.
The man had Huo Changfeng fooled, but it was a little late for him to catch on to this.
The subordinate cleared his throat and replied in a consoling tone. “Chief Steward, if we continue defending our territory, the enemy can never get what he wants.”
Huo Yao would still be the same Miss Huo no matter what.
Even though Huo Changfeng did not feel comforted, he looked a little better. “Do not tell anyone about this, especially Miss Huo.”
“Got it,” replied the subordinate sheepishly.
The chief steward’s plan had backfired on him, so it was a real blow to his pride.
The subordinate could totally understand it.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Wu Yue, Li Chenhui, and the others had dinner at the poshest restaurant in town.
They were about to head back to the hotel after they were done.
Huo Changfeng had gotten back by now. After checking with them about their hotel, he promptly sent them to the best five-star hotel located close to Sirin University.
He also ensured that they were put up in the presidential suite.
It cost nearly a 7-digit sum to spend the night here.
After Huo Changfeng was gone, Li Chenhui could no longer suppress himself. He felt like the country mouse on his first trip to the city.
He rolled on the couch. “Oh god. This feels so surreal.”
In reality, Li Chenhui and the others came from decent families. However, in the face of Huo Yao’s generosity, they were still stunned.
Wen Ping smiled as he walked over and kicked Li Chenhui, reminding him to watch his image. “We have Junior Sister to thank for this exceptional food and accommodation.”
Even though Ying Qi looked calm, he was equally touched by the gesture.
He pulled up a chair and sat down before voicing the question in his heart. “Didn’t Prof Rong mention that she came from a poor family?”
From the looks of it, she was incredibly wealthy.
Li Chenhui sat up on the couch and took out his phone. “I secretly took some pictures earlier. I’m sending them to Prof Rong now.”
As he spoke, he tapped on the group chat and sent Rong Jun the pictures he secretly took of the luxury car.
Li Chenhui: [Prof Rong, what do you think about this?]
Rong Jun happened to be using his phone at that moment. As soon as he saw the text messages in the group chat, he promptly sent a question mark.
Li Chenhui: [Prof Rong, do you know how much the car was worth?]
Rong Jun: [What’s wrong with you this time?]
Li Chenhui was already floating inside, so he got bolder as he continued typing on the screen: [Including the modification, this car costs hundreds of millions!]
Rong Jun: [And?]
Li Chenhui: [Prof Rong, do you know who owns the car? *shocked face emoticon*]
Rong Jun looked at his phone expressionlessly. He did not care who owned the car. He simply wanted to make the boy shut up.
Li Chenhui kept wasting his time. If he was half as diligent as Huo Yao, he would have written and published several academic articles by now.
Just as Rong Jun was about to put the group chat on silent mode, Li Chenhui sent another text message.
