"If you have an appointment with Mr. Ke, please wait in the reception room for a bit. He's still in a meeting right now, but I'll call you as soon as he's finished," the secretary uttered with a cheerful smile. Her beauty stunned Bill's henchman and caused him to feel embarrassed. It was as if he had forgotten he was angry in the first place.
"Yes, we have an appointment with him," the man confidently replied. Since it was his first time meeting this wonderful woman, he tried his best to come across as a respectable and modest man.
"If that's the case, I'd like to apologize on Mr. Ke's behalf. He is in an important overseas investment conference and can't be disturbed at the moment. But don't worry, he's very professional and never misses an appointment. I assure you that the moment he finishes, he'll come to you as soon as he can," the secretary explained while pointing the man in the direction of the reception room. Even though Bill hated waiting, the man didn't want to ruin his first impression on this fine lady. That was why he simply nodded in agreement and left.
The man went back to his group and told everyone that they needed to wait in the reception room first. When they arrived, they were surprised to see that it was just a small office with a few chairs and tables.
Everyone sat down and waited for about an hour. During that time, several of Bill's men grew impatient. They left with the excuse of smoking a cigarette but didn't come back at all.
Two hours later, everyone who remained couldn't help but feel sleepy. They were so bored from staring at the wall and talking with one another.
By the third hour, Bill didn't want to wait anymore. With a disgruntled look on his face, he angrily ordered one of his men to talk to the secretary once again.
"Go and ask Louis if he even wants to meet us or not. We've been very understanding of his busy schedule but I won't be taken for granted. If he doesn't meet us right now, I will never talk to him again." Bill was so angry at this point that his blood pressure had started to rise.
The man rushed over to the front desk but his face flushed the moment he laid his eyes upon the secretary a second time. He tried his best to look manly in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. The man conveyed Bill's order and even added that it was urgent, but he was still rejected in the end. When he came back, he tried to make excuses so that Bill wouldn't get angry at the secretary. "She said that Louis is still in a meeting."
As soon as he said those words, Bill roared in anger. While forming both his hands into fists, he exclaimed, "Louis, what a shameless man you are. I'll make sure you regret treating me like a pushover."
Filled with rage, Bill and his men stormed past the front desk. Just when they were about to enter Louis' office, more than a dozen security guards came out of nowhere and ordered them to stop. The guards formed a neat line in front of the door, ready to draw their weapons if needed.
"Louis, who do you think you are? You don't know who you'
eful way of life. I think that's more than enough reason for my actions, Bill."
"You weren't even affected by my actions!" Bill fiercely exclaimed in response while his face turned red from anger.
"Well then, do you really think you're qualified to be in business with a world-class firm like my company? I'm sorry to say this, but dirty old men like you are only fit to live in dark alleys and dirty sewers, just like rats. Taking that into consideration, I think I've been more than polite to you," Louis answered in a frigid, cold-hearted voice.
Bill's right hand man couldn't accept that his boss was being talked down to. As a result, he ran towards Louis at full speed to shut him up. Unfortunately for him, he was struck by Louis' bodyguard with an electric baton when he was about three meters from him. He was instantly electrocuted, which made him fall to the ground.
"I'm sorry about that. I honestly don't want to hurt your men, but if someone wants to hurt me, I can't let that happen," Louis uttered in the most arrogant voice he could muster.
Just when Bill's men thought that one of their own was badly injured, the security guard was kind enough to explain his injuries. "Don't worry about him, he just passed out from the electric shock. I'm sure he'll wake up soon enough. If he has any health problems, we can go to the police station to report this incident, and then go to the hospital to have a physical examination."
The guards were acting in such a weird way towards an enemy that Bill's men were left dumbfounded and scratching their heads in confusion. 'Why did he say that? Why would we even go to the police station?' they wondered.
Right at that moment, Bill could literally feel his blood boil. But even though he was pissed off, he knew he was no match for Louis. In his mind, offending him would surely guarantee his defeat. With that in mind, he tried his best to remain calm, and continue talking his way out of trouble. "Mr. Ke, I'm asking you for the last time. What did I do to offend you?"
