"My God… This invitation was sent by that big shot? Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable…"
"Please make sure to pass this to your boss."
With that, the man in sunglasses turned and left, leaving Manager Zhao holding the invitation, stunned.
Just as he was about to call the boss and inform him about the invitation, a server rushed in, visibly flustered.
"Manager Zhao, something's wrong in Private Room 7!"
"What happened?"Zhao asked quickly.
"The guests in Room 7 say our food is terrible today and accused us of targeting them on purpose. They look like they're ready to start smashing things."
"What?"Zhao's brow furrowed.
"Honestly, Manager, I don't think they're here to eat—they seem like they came just to cause trouble."The server added quietly.
"To cause trouble?"Zhao's eyes narrowed."Let's go take a look."
Led by the server, Zhao Manager arrived at Room 7.
Inside were two thin, middle-aged men seated at the table. Surrounding them stood four or five burly bodyguards, clearly there to back them up.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. May I ask what seems to be the problem?"Zhao asked with a polite smile.
"Your food isn't as good as the last time someone treated us here. Are you guys messing with us on purpose? You think we're easy to bully, is that it?"
"Exactly. Get your boss out here and give us an explanation—or we'll start trashing this place!"
The two middle-aged men barked out their threats.
"Excuse me?"Zhao was confused. Their dishes had never had any complaints, and today's chef was the same as always.
"Gentlemen, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. How about this—today's meal is on the house. Would that be acceptable?"
"What, you think we care about a few free dishes?"
"That's right. Get your boss down here. If he doesn't show, we'll smash this place to bits!"
They shouted more aggressively now.
"Very well…"Zhao left the room, now fully convinced that these two weren't diners—they were here to provoke someone. And clearly, their true goal was to meet the boss.
He immediately called Chen Fan and reported the situation.
"Stirring up trouble?"Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
Just then, the system's voice chimed in:
[Ding!][New Mission: Go to Wangjiang Pavilion and find out what those two men are really up to][Mission Reward: Custom Rolls-Royce Phantom (1 unit)][Bonus: 47 EXP Points]
"Oh?"
Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted.
He had been planning to buy a more spacious business-class car anyway—his garage currently only held a Lamborghini, which felt way too empty.
Besides, a Lambo only seated two people. If he needed to bring more company, it simply wasn't practical.
Now, the system was offering a custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom—a far more luxurious version than the standard model.And even with money, these custom editions weren't always available.
"Alright, I'll go take a look."
Since class had just ended, Chen Fan planned to go to Yongjia Shopping Center anyway. He decided to take a small detour to handle the issue at Wangjiang Pavilion first.
Thirty minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at the restaurant.
Since he suspected a confrontation, he gathered all 20+ security personnel of the restaurant as a precaution.
A few minutes later, Chen Fan, flanked by a squad of elite security guards, marched toward Room 7.
Even before he entered, he could hear the arrogant voices from within:
"Where's your boss?! Is he afraid to show up?!"
"Yeah, one more minute and I'll start smashing this place to pieces!"
The two middle-aged men continued their ranting while their bodyguards stood ready to act.
But just as they were about to follow through—
"You want to smash my restaurant? I'd like to see you try!"
A cold, dominant voice echoed from outside.
In the next second, Chen Fan entered the room with over twenty security guards behind him, shocking the two men into silence.
Their bodyguards, despite their size, lowered their heads instantly—faced with being outnumbered nearly five to one, they had no choice but to back down.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Me?"Chen Fan stepped forward calmly."I'm the owner of Wangjiang Pavilion."
"You? Don't joke around!"
The two men stared in disbelief.This kid looked barely twenty. How could he possibly be the owner?
"This is indeed our boss—President Chen."Manager Zhao stepped forward and confirmed it.
At that, both men were stunned.
He really is the new owner of Wangjiang Pavilion?!
Unbelievable. He's so young!
"So what if you're the boss? We weren't happy with the food. If you don't give us a proper explanation, things won't end well for you…"
One of the taller men tried to threaten Chen Fan again.
"Yeah, and if you don't make this right, we'll make sure your restaurant gets the 'attention' it deserves..."The other man hinted ominously.
Reputation meant everything in the restaurant business.
But just as the taller man was about to continue threatening him, Zhao Manager rushed back in.
"Apologies, sir. I just found out you were already here. This invitation was delivered earlier—for you."
"An invitation? From who?"Chen Fan asked.
"From Wei Jingxiong—Boss Wei."
"Wei Jingxiong?!"
The name hit like a bomb.
The tall middle-aged man immediately shut up, his arrogance evaporating.
Wei Jingxiong—a legendary figure in Jiangzhou, with a massive security company under his name and investments in countless clubs and entertainment venues.
He was the kind of man whose footsteps made the city tremble—a dominant force no one dared to provoke.
"Oh, Wei Jingxiong. What does he want from me?"Chen Fan was now even more curious.
Though he'd heard of Wei Jingxiong's name, the two of them had never met before.
"Boss Wei invited you over for tea at his residence tomorrow."
Zhao Manager explained.
"What?!"
Wei Jingxiong invited this kid to his house for tea?!
"Holy sht… Holy sht!"
The two middle-aged men went pale.
Wei Jingxiong wasn't someone they'd ever dare cross—and now he was personally inviting this young man? What did that say about Chen Fan's status?
Even if Chen Fan wasn't above Wei Jingxiong, he was clearly someone on the same level—otherwise, why would a man like Wei Jingxiong extend a personal invitation?
The more they thought about it, the more fear filled their eyes.
Their legs began to tremble.
"Alright. Got it."
Chen Fan nodded and took the invitation from Zhao Manager.
Then he turned and looked coldly at the two troublemakers.
In that instant—the two middle-aged men dropped to their knees.
They were so terrified they blurted out the truth—revealing the mastermind who sent them.
