"There is no place in this hotel where I cannot sit," Jiang Chen said calmly.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Kid, be smart and get up for me now."

"Li Chengdong, is it any of your business where we sit?"

Yu Xiaoxiao glared at the young man and directly took Lin Chao's original seat, then turned to call a server, "Waiter, change the tea set please."

Li Chengdong's face changed slightly. He gave Yu Xiaoxiao a look, and shut his mouth, sulking. He couldn't afford to offend the Yu Family.

Dong Yu's face turned sour as she glanced at Li Chengdong and took a seat on the other side of Jiang Chen, looking apologetically at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, indicating it didn't matter.

The scene unfolding before him was child's play. He treated it as a little spice added to his tense life.

Lately, under the immense pressure from the three major organizations, he had been on edge and indeed needed some relaxation.

Taking it easy wasn't a bad idea.

"Dong Yu, why did you bring a friend along? We had just enough seats here, and now with him, there won't be a place for Zhang Wenkang later. How about letting your friend dine outside? We'll put it on Lin Chao's tab; it's on him today anyway!"

A woman beside Dong Yu glanced at Lin Chao, who was standing still, and smiled at Dong Yu.

"Can't we just get an extra chair from the waiter if there's no room?" Dong Yu said indifferently.

The woman's face changed, and she turned to glare at Jiang Chen.

The people at their table had received benefits from Lin Chao and were supposed to help set him up with Dong Yu. Now, Jiang Chen came out of nowhere and completely disrupted all their plans.

"Waiter, add another chair."

With the call, a pale Lin Chao instructed a server and took a seat opposite Jiang Chen.

Seeing Dong Yu's manner towards Jiang Chen, Lin Chao knew it was impossible to drive Jiang Chen away.

The waiter was just helping Yu Xiaoxiao change her utensils and, hearing the request, nodded, fetched an empty chair from the side, and placed it next to Lin Chao.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chao calmed himself and gave Li Chengdong and the others a look.

The four of them understood, and the woman sitting next to Dong Yu put on a fake smile as she looked at Jiang Chen, "Hello, Jiang Chen, my name is Liu Mei, I was Xiao Yu's high school roommate. You just said you work at Yi Chen Group? That's a big company. Which department are you in?"

"I don't have a fixed department. I help out wherever it's needed," Jiang Chen said lightly.

"Oh..."

With an 'oh' that took several twists, Liu Mei said with meaning, "That's rare in a company, to go wherever needed. Usually, there are only two departments like that, either security or janitorial. One roams around while patrolling, the other while cleaning. Looking at your build, you must be a security guard?"

"Security guard?! Ha ha! So he's a security guard!"

"No way, Dong Yu, how come you have a security guard as a friend?!"

"That's quite demeaning, isn't it? Dong Yu, we don't mind you bringing friends to our school reunion, but why bring a security guard? This is a five-star hotel. Is it proper for a security guard to dine here?"

Li Chengdong and the others ridiculed in succession, and others pointed and gossiped about Jiang Chen.

"Exactly, a security guard does not deserve to dine with us!" A shout rose, and Zhang Wenkang entered with two middle-aged men from the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Zhang Wenkang is here!"

"Isn't that Manager Sun from the hotel?"

"The other one seems to be the general manager of Yi Chen Group's Zheng City Branch Company, Manager Wang. What brings Zhang Wenkang here with these two?"

"It looks like they're also here for Jiang Chen!"

Whispers began to circulate among the guests in the banquet hall upon glancing at Zhang Wenkang and his companions.

Zhang Wenkang approached Jiang Chen and his friends, a flash of jealousy passing through his eyes.

Kid, you think you can sit between the two campus beauties? Are you worthy?

But it seems like Lin Chao wants to act like a gentleman in front of Dong Yu and didn't make a fuss. This makes it easier for me!

"Dong Yu, Jiang Chen is my friend. I won't allow you to speak about him like that!" Dong Yu looked at Zhang Wenkang with a disapproving gaze and spoke out in a low voice.

Zhang Wenkang raised his eyebrows and said with a light chuckle, "Dong Yu, don't degrade yourself. There are people who don't deserve to sit with you. Of course, I won't have anyone drive him away, but I believe he will leave on his own accord!"

"What are you planning to do?"

Dong Yu's expression darkened, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she looked suspiciously at the two men beside Zhang Wenkang, unable to understand his intentions.

"I am Wang Qiancheng, the general manager of Yi Chen Group's Zheng City Branch Company. Which region are you from?"

A middle-aged man looked at Jiang Chen with a stern face and asked sharply, "Do you know what you're doing? Huh? Zhang is from Sangsen Group, the person in charge of the cooperation between Sangsen Group and our Yi Chen Group for the Zhongzhou Province region. How dare you provoke him for no reason? What are you trying to do?"

"Do you want to cause a misunderstanding in our company's partnership with Sangsen Group? I seriously suspect that you are a corporate spy sent by a rival company to sabotage our cooperation with Sangsen Group!"

By the end of his accusation, the middle-aged man raised his voice, "Tell me which region you are from; I'm going to get your regional manager to fire you!"

"Zhang Wenkang's move is brilliant!"

"Yes, directly ruining Jiang Chen's job, what a ruthless move!"

"It's all thanks to Zhang Wenkang's capabilities; after all, he's the person in charge of Sangsen Group's Zhongzhou Province. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command someone from Yi Chen Group, right?"

"Jiang Chen is finished. Yi Chen Group is one of the leading companies in the country, and it's not easy to join them. He's definitely going to regret this to his guts!"

The peers couldn't help but take pleasure in Jiang Chen's misfortune.

Pfft!

Ha!

Upon hearing Wang Qiancheng's words, Dong Yu couldn't hold back her laughter, and Yu Xiaoxiao, who had just taken a sip of water from her newly replaced teacup, spit it out.

The two women exchanged a glance and mockingly looked at Wang Qiancheng with smiles on their faces.

A mere general manager of a city branch calling someone else, the chairman of the group, a spy, and saying he's going to have him fired—this is truly unprecedented!

"You're firing me?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. "To fire someone without proof, just based on this guy's words—is this how you manage as the general manager of the branch?"

Wang Qiancheng sneered coldly, "You're not worthy to know about my management. Sangsen Group has entered a comprehensive cooperation with our company, and this cooperation was personally negotiated by our chairman. If you dare to disrupt it, nobody can save you!"

"I'm not worthy to know? Perhaps I would have been somewhat interested in discussing management with you before today, but now, I have no interest in talking about it. You're no longer an employee of Yi Chen Group. You've been fired!"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently.

As his words fell, Jiang Chen took out his phone and began to make a call.
