Chapter 108: Protected Chen Liuhe
Qin Ruohan had been paying attention to Chen Liuhe while having an interesting talk with the businessmen. She felt nervous because of Chen Liuhe's bold and unrestrained behaviors, but she didn't feel ashamed or disgusted. She knew that Chen Liuhe was an unconstrained man who had no affectation.
People might think that he was rude, but in Qin Ruohan's eyes, it meant he had strong self-confidence. Only Chen Liuhe could be so confident because he didn't care about the opinions of people around him.
"Ha-ha, Miss Qin, I think you'd better remind your employee to behave himself." A middle-aged man kindly reminded Qin Ruohan.
Qin Ruohan was stunned and said, "Why should I remind him? He doesn't do anything wrong. Those food are put here for people to eat, right?"
Another middle-aged man said with a wry smile, "Miss Qin, you have just entered our circle, so maybe you don't know that anyone who can come here has a good status. There are inevitably some arrogant and bad-tempered people. Mr. Ma is afraid that your employee will get into trouble and be embarrassed later."
Sure enough, before this middle-aged man finished his words, they saw an imposing middle-aged man with a big belly walking towards Chen Liuhe angrily with a glass of red wine. "Hey! Do you know what kind of party is it? You can't be so rude."
Chen Liuhe, who was eating happily, raised his head in astonishment. He looked around, pointed to himself, and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense. Who else can I talk to except you? Who brought you in? Who allowed you to enter such a high-end place?" The middle-aged man snapped.
Chen Liuhe was amused and said, "Is this place very high-end?"
"What do you think?" The middle-aged man sneered and said, "It's so high-end that you are not qualified to come here!" He waved his hand contemptuously and said, "I don't care who brought you in, but you should get out of here right now. You're not good enough for this place. You're so rude, and you disgrace us."
Chen Liuhe was a little helpless. He said with a smile, "Do you think you're very elegant? I can only tell that you're a fat man. You don't look noble at all!"
"Brat, what are you talking about? Do you know who you are talking to?" The middle-aged man's face turned cold. He didn't expect that a minion who might be brought in by a member to enrich his experience dared to speak to him in such a tone.
Chen Liuhe said unconcernedly, "Fat man, why don't you just mind your own business? I'm just eating here. Do I bother you? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
"How dare you! Believe it or not, I'll let someone throw you out of the window!" The fat middle-aged man was furious.
Someone gave Chen Liuhe a sympathetic look. They all knew that this fat man was a core member of the chamber of commerce. He had a high status. He ran a great business, and his personal riches were estimated at fifty million dollars.
Among all the people present, except the president, vice president, and about three big shots who were having a meeting in the side hall, this fat man had a quite high status. He was very popular in this small circle, and no one dared to provoke him.
At this time, an insignificant guy had provoked him. There was no doubt that Chen Liuhe would suffer a lot. No matter who brought Chen Liuhe here, Chen Liuhe would be taught a terrible lesson.
"With all due respect, I don't believe it." Chen Liuhe said neither quickly nor slowly with a faint smile on his face. He asked blandly, "But I'm really curious. How did I offend you? Did I kill your father or have a love affair with your wife? Why are you so mad as if you have lost your family?"
Chen Liuhe never showed mercy to such a person. He didn't beat this man, which meant that he had shown this man respect and taken this occasion into account.
The middle-aged man's face darkened completely, and he almost called someone to throw Chen Liuhe out. He sneered and said, "It seems you don't understand that out of the mouth comes evil. I'm sure that you will suffer miserably tonight."
After a pause, he said, "But before that, since you want to know what you did wrong, I don't mind giving you a lesson on how to behave yourself."
The man said, "In fact, it's simple. You come to a place that doesn't suit your identity and do something annoying. This is your biggest mistake. Remember, brat, not everyone can enter our circle!"
Chen Liuhe was enlightened and said, "Oh, I think I understand what you mean. You think I'm not elegant enough. This is to say, in front of you successful people, food is for watching, not for eating, right? So, this is your so-called elegance."
"It's good that you know it. But brat, with your humble identity, you belittle the word 'elegance' by saying it."
The middle-aged man sneered, shook the red wine in his hand, and said, "Do you know what brand this red wine is? When was it produced? How much is it? I'm afraid that you'll be unfamiliar with these things even if I tell you. I'm not afraid to tell you that the glass of red wine is worth your monthly salary. Do you think you are qualified to drink it? I'm afraid you'll never be qualified to drink it in your life!"
Chen Liuhe nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, then I may understand the standard of your so-called elegance."
After a pause, Chen Liuhe glanced sideways at the fat man and said blandly, "Now I want to ask you. What else do you know about the red wine except that it is Lafite produced in 1993? Do you know where it was produced? Do you know who owns Chateau Lafite in Bordeaux? Do you know why Lafite produced in 1993 is so much cheaper than Lafite produced in 1982? Is it just because of the year?"
Hearing this, many people were surprised. They didn't expect such a young man to tell the origin of red wine and ask such sharp questions. Even some of them knew nothing about it, let alone the fat man.
The fat man hesitated and obviously didn't understand it. Chen Liuhe sneered more disdainfully. It seemed that he didn't want to let the man go. He said, "You seem to know nothing about it."
Pointing to the exquisite cakes and food on the luxurious table, Chen Liuhe asked again, "Let me ask you something else. Do you know the origin and meaning of these cakes? For example, what is made in the French Michelin three-star restaurant? What kind of cake is specially provided for the British royalty?"
There was a low uproar around. Others really didn't know about it. They just thought those Western cakes were exquisite and delicious. Who would care about the origin and significance of food?
The fat man looked embarrassed, and he still couldn't answer.
Chen Liuhe sighed lightly and shook his head. The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know about it indeed, but what about you?"
"Of course I know, and I can tell their origins accurately in detail, but it's meaningless to make it clear to you. I don't want to waste my time."
Chen Liuhe said blandly, "I speak so much to tell you that you won't become elegant just because you mention it or pretend to be elegant. You should keep elegance in your heart. It's a kind of virtue. You can't become elegant no matter how you pretend to be."
He looked at the man contemptuously and said, "Of course, you don't know what elegance is, and you're too arty. You're poor and pathetic, and you will only be a joke in the end."
"Because the so-called elegance in your eyes is nothing more than a noun measured by money." Chen Liuhe spoke to the man mercilessly. Many people were as embarrassed as the fat man. They could not refute Chen Liuhe's words.
Some people began to look at Chen Liuhe with new eyes, and the intelligent ones remembered this young man whose look was ordinary, because Chen Liuhe couldn't be a nobody since he could make such a speech.
Most importantly, his temperament was not something ordinary people could have. How old was Chen Liuhe? Twenty-four or twenty-five years old?
"Bullsh*t! You rude and disrespectful brat! What nonsense are you talking about?" The fat man was embarrassed in front of so many people, so he lost his temper and roared angrily, "Where is the security guard? Throw this stupid brat out!"
"Now you're like a resentful woman who has been stripped naked and exposed to the sun." Chen Liuhe said teasingly.
At this time, the security guards guarding the corners of the hall had rushed in. They were about to beat Chen Liuhe.
"Who dares to hurt him?" Xu Shirong's voice sounded in time. He and Qin Ruohan ran over. In Xu Shirong's eyes, nothing bad could happen to Chen Liuhe, or it would be terrible.
They should have come to help Chen Liuhe out earlier, but they were stunned by Chen Liuhe's words just now, and they learned a lot from his words.
"Humph, if any of you dare to hurt him, I won't let you go." In the tense atmosphere, Qin Ruohan rushed to Chen Liuhe and protected Chen Liuhe. She was not afraid of power and didn't care about the consequences.
At the same time, she forgot the reason why she came here and the importance of this opportunity to her.
"What's wrong? Did you bring this brat here?" The fat man glanced at Qin Ruohan and Xu Shirong coldly.
"Watch your language. You are the brat. You put on airs and show off. You're not elegant at all, but you pretend to be elegant. Now that you've been exposed, you become angry from shame. You make me sick!" Qin Ruohan said contemptuously. She didn't care who the man was, and she always took a firm stand.
"Who are you? Do you want to die, too?" The fat man said angrily.
"My identity has nothing to do with you! Originally, I wanted to join your chamber of commerce, but there is such a disgusting person like you in the chamber of commerce, which really disappoints me." Qin Ruohan sneered.
Hearing this, the fat man showed a disdainful smile and said, "It turns out that you have not joined our chamber of commerce. Now I can tell you with certainty that you won't be qualified to join us! The resources of our chamber of commerce have nothing to do with you!"
