Chapter 174 – Celebration Banque (1/2)

t

“What? This kind of map exists? How do I not know about it?” LittleLi’s FlyingDagger was dumbstruck.

“I am your master. You have to know,” Fatty wasn’t the slightest bit courteous as he expressed his contempt.

“I despise you.” Without having to see the other’s face, LittleLi’s FlyingDagger already knew what kind of expression Fatty was displaying.

Beep, beep. The system suddenly notified Fatty of a real-life call. Fatty left LittleLi’s FlyingDagger some words before logging out to receive the call.

“Fatty, why are you still in-game?” Liu Lan’s voice rang out from the phone. Indeed, she was urging him.

“Oh, I remember! After I finish changing my clothes, I’ll leave,” Fatty finally remembered the celebration party that Liu Lan had invited him to. Fatty hurriedly logged back in to exchange phone numbers and addresses with LittleLi’s FlyingDagger. After doing that, he logged out, got ready, and left the house.

From afar, Fatty spotted Liu Lan waiting at the entrance of the hotel. Not wearing her typical office attire, Liu Lan was looking extraordinarily charming today, with each expression on her face able to make one’s heart tremble. She looked even more beautiful than the hotel usherette.

“Quickly, we were waiting for you!” As soon as Fatty got out of the taxi, Liu Lan came over to latch onto his arm and dragged him toward the hotel.

Cling clang. The surrounding people were so stunned that their glasses fell off of their head. The young men who had set their eyes on Liu Lan glared at Fatty with ferocity.

“So cold,” Fatty shivered. Immediately, his face full of fat turned savage as he glared back at those young men.

“F*ck…” A young man cursed. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forth, ready to PK with Fatty, but a friend next to him hastily pulled him back. They whispered something with each other, then the young man swept a glance at Fatty and left.

“Humph! Serves you right for glaring at Lord Fatty,” Fatty was indignant. He held up his middle finger toward the man’s departing back.

“Alright, stop. People will start to laugh at us,” Liu Lan was between laughter and tears. She hurriedly dragged Fatty into the hotel.

Not long after Fatty entered the hotel, a white Bugatti Veyron stopped outside the hotel. The door opened, stepping out was Qian Xiaoqian in a white casual outfit and a charming woman in a red trench coat. The two were an eye-drawing combination as well.

The two parked the car. Then, they ignored the surrounding eyes, chatting and laughing as they entered the hotel. The corridor they took was exactly the opposite of the one Fatty took.

To congratulate Misty Waterfall on making it into the top 10 guilds of Black Tortoise City, Liu Lan had gone to great lengths. Not mentioning everything else, the location she chose alone was the most famous hotel in the area.

Those coming to the banquet today were all amongst the executive ranks of Misty Waterfall, who were also employees of Liu Lan’s company. Most of them recognized Fatty as the man who had been their colleague for two years.

Of course, there were those who didn’t know him, like a haughty-looking young man who was surrounded by a group of people.

Upon seeing Liu Lan pull Fatty in by the arm, Wang Kai’s face instantly sank. He asked the people around, “Who’s that fatty?”

“Oh, that’s Qian Ye, the former director of our company’s Business Department. He’s on extremely close terms with our General Manager. Not long ago, the Assistant General Manager fired him for some reason,” replied a knowledgeable individual quickly.

“Humph, just a brat who was fired. What qualification does he have to join our company’s celebration’s banquet?” Wang Kai snorted. The people around him immediately stopped talking, showing their unwillingness to meddle in this kind of conflict. However, some revealed cold smiles and looked at Fatty with ill will.

“Qian Ye, Fatty, everyone knows him already. Oh, there are some newcomers, let me introduce you,” Liu Lan pulled Fatty before Wang Kai. “This is Wang Kai, our company’s newly-appointed Assistant General Manager as well as Director of the Business Department. He’s also the other vice-master of our guild. Wang Kai, this is Fatty, a former employee of our company and is currently a professional Eternal player.”

“Nice to meet you,” Fatty extended his right hand.

Wang Kai didn’t reciprocate the offered handshake. Instead, he scrutinized Fatty with his chin tilted up.

“You’re a professional player? What level are you? How’s your equipment?”

The young man looked very handsome, but his hair was smeared with something that made it extremely shiny and greasy. Fatty casually withdrew his hand and smiled blandly, “I’m Level 30. My equipment set is only Silver Tier.”

“Such trash has the guts to call himself a professional player?” Wang Kai instantly showed his contempt. “Lan’er, I think the managers of our company are good enough. In regards to recruiting more guild members, we need players who are professional and better equipped. As for someone with trashy equipment, a low level, and, moreover, lying to promote himself, we must stay far away from him. We definitely can’t let him sneak into our guild.”

The instant Wang Kai dropped those words, the surrounding chatter instantly halted. Some looked at Wang Kai in surprise, wondering how Fatty had offended him; while others were eager to watch the show.

Xu Quan was standing at the side with a wine glass in hand. Taking a sip, he observed the proceedings with amusement.

“Wang Kai!” Liu Lan’s face turned grim, “I don’t need you to tell me what to do. If you are unsatisfied, you are free to resign from the job.”

“You sure you want me to resign?” Wang Kai only chuckled scornfully in the face of Liu Lan’s discontentment, “Don’t regret it if I do.”

“You!?” Liu Lan’s breathing harshened, becoming enraged.

“Alright Lil’ Sis Lan, no need to hurt the company’s harmony for an outsider,” Xu Quan walked over and said meaningfully.

Liu Lan snorted before grabbing Fatty once more and walking away.

“If he doesn’t leave, I’ll resign right now,” Wang Kai’s voice echoed from behind. Liu Lan froze, her body slightly trembling.
