Chapter 98: 【98】So you’re the hidden boss! _1
 

“Huh? Looking for Tang Feng?”

A group of classmates were stunned when they heard the manager’s words.

Could it be that the manager wasn’t here for Li Wenxuan?

Li Wenxuan’s face also stiffened, and he looked at Tang Feng in disbelief.

Tang Feng was also confused and looked at the manager, “Hello, I’m Tang Feng. Did you need me for something?”

The manager hastily extended both hands for a handshake, “Mr. Tang, hello. I’m Zhang Zhiming, the manager of this establishment. It’s a pleasure to serve you. Are you satisfied with the food and drinks we’ve presented you? If there’s any dissatisfaction, I can have them replaced.”

The classmates on the scene were gobsmacked upon hearing this.

So the “honored guest” the waiter spoke of was not Li Wenxuan, but Tang Feng?

And judging from the manager’s tone, if Tang Feng wasn’t pleased with this banquet worth over a hundred thousand yuan, they could replace it?

This level of face was simply boundless.

They seriously suspected whether Tang Feng had arranged a performance with the manager in advance for their benefit.

However, it seemed like the hotel reservation was made by Li Wenxuan, and they had only received news of it this afternoon.

There shouldn’t have been a chance to set this up beforehand, right?

It wasn’t just them, even Tang Feng himself was completely baffled.

“Mr. Zhang, may I ask, why are you presenting me with this food and drinks?”

“Haha, it was specially instructed by our boss,” the manager replied with utmost respect.

“Who is your boss?” Tang Feng was even more perplexed, as he didn’t seem to know the boss of this hotel.

The manager hesitated for a moment but eventually disclosed a name, “Xu Xinling.”

Tang Feng was immediately stunned, “Are you saying that the boss of this hotel is Miss Xu?”

After receiving confirmation from Mr. Zhang, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

No wonder when he criticized the hotel’s name in the gym, a murderous aura flashed across Xu Xinling’s face.

So she was the owner of the hotel?

What a coincidence!

“Well then, please thank Miss Xu for me.” Now that he knew the feast was from Xu Xinling, he no longer refused it.

“If Mr. Tang has no further instructions, then I’ll be taking my leave. You can call me anytime if you need anything,” Mr. Zhang said as he was about to exit the private room.

At that moment, Tang Feng glanced at Li Wenxuan, seeing a sullen look on his face, not knowing what he was scheming.

“Mr. Zhang, wait a moment.”

He suddenly put his arm around the manager’s shoulder and whispered aside, “You know Li Wenxuan, right, Mr. Zhang?”

The manager looked back at Li Wenxuan, “I suppose I do. Mr. Song often comes here for meals with Mr. Wang from Xinmao Group.”

Tang Feng raised his eyebrows, “Is this Mr. Wang male or female?”

“Female, around 60 years old,” the manager added another piece of information.

“Then do you know what their relationship is?” Tang Feng continued to ask in a low voice.

The expression on the manager’s face turned somewhat awkward, “Ahem, I don’t know the specifics of their relationship. But there was one time I saw Mr. Song kneeling in front of Mr. Wang and apologizing in front of everyone at the table. It seemed he had gotten too close with one of Mr. Wang’s female secretaries behind her back…”

After listening to the manager’s account, Tang Feng became even more convinced that Mr. Wang must be the woman who was supporting Li Wenxuan.

He then patted the manager on the shoulder, “Alright, you can go now. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

The manager nodded and bowed before promptly leaving.

When Tang Feng sat down again, he immediately became the focus in the entire private room.

“Tang Feng, you’ve kept quite a low profile, huh? So you are the hidden tycoon!”

“You actually know the owner of this hotel? You have such an extensive network!”

“Tsk tsk, the hotel owner sent you a banquet worth hundreds of thousands, that’s really prestigious.”

“Hey big shot, are you still taking lackeys?”

The classmates complimented Tang Feng genuinely or teasingly.

On the contrary, Li Wenxuan, who had been seated in the seat of honor, suddenly became neglected.

Although Li Wenxuan was angry, he was also incredibly shocked.

He had not expected Tang Feng to be so well-connected.

He was far stronger than him, a fake tycoon.

Sitting in the seat of honor felt like sitting on pins and needles, like a fish bone stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his back…

And Fang Hongbin, who was sitting next to him, was filled with even more regret.

Damn it, he had latched onto the wrong leg.

Had he known Tang Feng was so powerful, why would he need to hang himself on Li Wenxuan’s crooked tree?

But the remarks he made just now had thoroughly offended Tang Feng.

Trying to cozy up to him now, Tang Feng probably wouldn’t even bother with him.

As for Jiang Zi, her beautiful eyes shone with fascination.

Every time she thought she knew Tang Feng well, he would surprise her and refresh her understanding.

What other secrets did he have that she didn’t know about?

Tang Feng noticed her expression and immediately leaned in to whisper in her ear, “My dear, do you realize how dangerous this is?”

Jiang Zi became even more curious and whispered back, “What’s dangerous?”

“The moment a woman becomes curious about a man, that’s when she begins to fall into danger.”

Tang Feng’s breath on her earlobe made her heart flutter.

“Cut it out, who’s curious about you?” Jiang Zi retorted with a light pat on his chest which was more flirtatious than admonishing.

Seeing this, the classmates began to tease them.

“Yo, what are you two whispering about? Is there something you can’t let us hear?”

“Look at Jiang, our class president; she’s blushing. Tang Feng, are you teasing her?”

“I was just wondering, with a class president as pretty as her, what kind of boyfriend she would need? Now I have the answer.”

“Tang Feng is handsome and so capable—truly a perfect match for our class president.”

“Exactly, this is what you call a match of equals in talent and beauty!”

“True lovers at last, congratulations, congratulations…”

Teased by everyone, Tang Feng, with his thicker skin, didn’t mind.

But Jiang Zi’s face turned red, and she leaned on the table, too embarrassed to look up.

This only further fueled everyone’s teasing, with hints becoming more suggestive.

They were on the verge of urging the couple to have children on the spot.

Tang Feng kept an eye on Li Wenxuan all the time.

He watched as Li Wenxuan’s complexion grew worse and worse, eventually turning as black as coal.

“Bang!”

At that moment, Li Wenxuan suddenly slammed the table, “You’re using a girl as the butt of a joke. Don’t you have anything better to do?”
