Free Web NovelChapter 38: Chapter 38: Yamai Ichirō
"I see. It seems you people from Japan still haven’t grasped the essence of what you’ve learned from us in Huaxia."
Chen Qingdi made the casual remark and walked straight inside.
This five-star hotel was the most luxurious in all of Jinghai, covering an area of five hundred square meters.
Every part of it was a frequent haunt for the various powerful and noble figures of Jinghai, or members of its elite families.
It was hailed as a paradise for the rich!
Just as Chen Qingdi reached the entrance, he was stopped by a female greeter.
"Sir, to ensure you have the means to patronize our establishment, we need to verify your assets. We ask for your cooperation. Welcome to Paradise for the Rich."
The female greeter spoke to Chen Qingdi with utmost respect.
The staff here, from the greeters to the servers, had all undergone special training. In terms of etiquette, they were impeccable.
In stark contrast, the staff at some other five-star hotels were of incredibly low quality, always looking down on people.
"I have quite a few cards. Which one do you want to verify?"
Chen Qingdi pulled out more than a dozen bank cards, not even deigning to look at her.
These cards were all gifts from the powerful figures on the island, given to him when he left.
And Medical God Island was full of corrupt officials and wealthy tycoons!
The moment they saw Chen Qingdi was leaving, they had immediately transferred all their assets to him, all to curry his favor!
Just as the female greeter was wondering if Chen Qingdi was joking by pulling out all those cards...
Just then, a jarring female voice cut through the air.
"Heh, everywhere I go, you seem to follow. You’re like a ghost that just won’t leave."
A woman in an evening gown, carrying herself with a seductive air, suddenly appeared before Chen Qingdi.
It was none other than Ma Xiaorong!
"Well, speak of the devil. Why do I always run into you?"
Chen Qingdi said, completely exasperated.
"Heh, shouldn’t you feel honored to run into a powerful woman like me?"
Ma Xiaorong said to Chen Qingdi, covering her mouth with a laugh, her tone dripping with arrogance.
Hearing this, Chen Qingdi was rendered even more speechless and decided to simply ignore her.
He had no reason to argue with someone like her. It would not only be a waste of his time but also beneath him.
However, Ma Xiaorong was relentless. "Chen Qingdi, you really have no self-awareness, do you? A grand place like this... you think you belong here? Don’t you know this place is called a paradise for the rich? Only millionaires and multimillionaires can come here. You’re just a dog borrowing its master’s might. Don’t think you can squeeze into high society just because you know a few bigwigs."
"Trash will always be trash. No matter how hard you try, you’re destined to never be as good as my husband in this lifetime. Do you know what my husband is doing in there? He’s discussing business with Mr. Yamai Ichirō. Do you have any idea what Mr. Yamai Ichirō’s net worth is in Japan? I could tell you, but the number would scare you to death. Five hundred million! He’s the most famous entrepreneur in all of Japan!"
Ma Xiaorong gloated, showing off to Chen Qingdi just how impressive Zheng Zhiyi was for being able to discuss business with such an important figure.
In Chen Qingdi’s eyes, however, it was all incredibly pathetic.
If he wanted to, all it would take was a single word.
All the richest people and most famous entrepreneurs in the world would give him all their assets or partner with him on a nine-to-one split.
Chen Qingdi would take nine parts, and they would take one.
But Chen Qingdi rarely concerned himself with such things. All he wanted was to avenge his mother!
"What’s wrong? Nothing to say for yourself?"
"I knew it. You don’t look like you came here on your own. Which big shot brought you along this time, you little tag-along?"
Ma Xiaorong’s words grew more and more vicious as she relentlessly mocked Chen Qingdi.
SLAP!
Just then, Yi Xuesha strode forward and slapped Ma Xiaorong squarely across the face.
"If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up. No one will mistake your silence for being mute."
"Who do you think Mr. Chen is? It’s not your place to speak of him. Say one more word, and see what I do to you."
Yi Xuesha stood protectively in front of Chen Qingdi, her presence commanding as she warned Ma Xiaorong.
Ma Xiaorong, having been slapped, was completely stunned.
She was the favored daughter of the Ma Family, the president of the Ma Group, the young mistress of the Jinghai Elite Family Ma Family!
’Who was this woman, who came out of nowhere and dared to hit her?’
This infuriated Ma Xiaorong, and the look she gave Yi Xuesha was pure venom.
"Who do you think you are? What are you to Chen Qingdi that gives you the right to step in for him?"
Ma Xiaorong snapped at Yi Xuesha, furious.
"You don’t need to know who I am to Mr. Chen. But I did say that if you uttered one more word, I’d hit you. Remember?"
SLAP!
Yi Xuesha slapped her again, leaving Ma Xiaorong utterly dumbfounded once more.
’What kind of person was this?!’
’Resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement... so barbaric and violent!’
Ma Xiaorong froze on the spot, her face filled with fear as she stared at Yi Xuesha.
However, just then...
"Who the fuck is bullying my wife?! Get the hell out here!"
A young man in a suit emerged from inside, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The young man was none other than Zheng Zhiyi, and the middle-aged man beside him was the famous Japanese entrepreneur Ma Xiaorong had been boasting about, Yamai Ichirō.
"Chen Qingdi, you again? What did you do to my wife?"
The moment he saw Chen Qingdi, Zheng Zhiyi understood exactly who had been bullying Ma Xiaorong.
Besides him, Zheng Zhiyi couldn’t think of anyone else.
And even if it hadn’t been him, Zheng Zhiyi was determined to frame him anyway!
There was no other reason than what Chen Qingdi had done to him before.
He was determined to oppose Chen Qingdi to the very end, until he made him utterly regret ever being born!
"Mr. Zheng, has your esteemed wife encountered some trouble?"
Seeing how furious Zheng Zhiyi was, Yamai Ichirō immediately asked.
"Mr. Yamauchi, my apologies for this embarrassing display. This guy is just my master’s useless godson. Years have passed and he’s still the same—utterly worthless."
Zheng Zhiyi said to Yamai Ichirō in a fawning tone.
Upon hearing this, Yamai Ichirō immediately declared, "Since he is an enemy of Mr. Zheng, then I shall help you teach him a lesson. Futa, cripple this fellow and feed him to the fish!"
Yamai Ichirō gave the command.
A large Japanese man suddenly stepped forward, coming to stand before Chen Qingdi, his face a mask of disdain.
Seeing Yamai Ichirō send out his own man, Zheng Zhiyi asked with a hint of concern, "Mr. Yamauchi, are you sure your man is up to it?"
"This guy has gotten the better of me several times. He shouldn’t be underestimated."
Zheng Zhiyi explained his concerns to Yamai Ichirō.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zheng, your worries are unfounded. Futa is an underground Boxing Champion back in Japan. Dealing with an ordinary person like this will be a piece of cake!"
