Boss Zhou immediately distanced himself from Mao Guoping, severing all ties.
Boss Zhou had to protect himself.
"How could you do this? As soon as I got into trouble, you kicked me away. We are old friends, and our families, the Maos and the Zhous, have been acquaintances for generations!" Mao Guoping was furious.
"You can't blame me. You can only blame yourselves for being too arrogant and provoking someone you shouldn't have. I really can't help you this time. Take care of yourself!" Boss Zhou said.
"I'm doomed this time!"
Mao Guoping's face was filled with despair.
"You still have a chance! The Chairman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce just said that if Mr. Jiang spares you, then they won't pursue the matter. Now, you and your son can only escape unharmed if you receive Mr. Jiang's forgiveness!"
After speaking, Boss Zhou left directly, deliberately keeping his distance from Mao Guoping.
Mao Guoping's face was etched with despair.
"Dad, what's the background of Jiang Yi's hangers-on?"
Young Master Mao asked, "Jiang Yi is just a beggar. He can't possibly know any important figures. Let's not waste any more time and just kill this kid and his cronies!"
"Slap!"
Mao Guoping slapped Young Master Mao across the face.
Young Master Mao was stunned by the blow!
The onlookers were also taken aback.
No one understood what was happening with Mao Guoping. He had just vowed to avenge his son, but now he had slapped him.
"Dad, why are you hitting me?" Young Master Mao's face was full of confusion.
"You unfilial wretch, who else could you have provoked but Mr. Jiang? Do you think Mr. Jiang is someone you can afford to offend? If you wanted to court death, that's your business, but you've dragged me and the entire Mao family into this. You are truly incorrigible!"
Mao Guoping unleashed a torrent of abuse at Young Master Mao.
Young Master Mao was dumbfounded!
Everyone else was also dumbfounded!
The crowd began to murmur.
"What's going on? Boss Mao was threatening to kill this kid just now, but now he's scolding Young Master Mao?"
"Could it be that this kid's friends are people Boss Mao can't afford to offend?"
"This reversal is happening too fast!"
...
The crowd had no idea who was sitting in the private room. Seeing Mao Guoping's drastic change, they were all very confused.
What happened next surprised everyone even more. Mao Guoping walked towards Jiang Yi, his face full of smiles, and said to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart! Don't worry, I will definitely teach my son a good lesson and have him personally apologize to you!"
Jiang Yi sneered at this.
"Boss Mao, weren't you going to kill me just now?"
Jiang Yi stared at Mao Guoping and said, "I'm just a nobody. Are you afraid of me, a nobody? Don't forget, you are the prestigious Chairman of Mao's Group, a powerful figure in the business world..."
"Mr. Jiang, please don't make fun of me. Compared to you, I am nothing!" Mao Guoping said hastily.
"You flatter me too much!"
Jiang Yi sneered.
"Mr. Jiang, please, spare us, my son and me! I swear, this will never happen again. I will personally apologize to you!" Mao Guoping's face was full of helplessness.
"No, I'm just a small fry, how could I dare to ask Boss Mao to apologize in person!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Seeing that Jiang Yi was unwilling to forgive, Mao Guoping's face was filled with despair.
"Mr. Jiang, what exactly do you want for you to forgive my son and me?" Mao Guoping pleaded.
The current Mao Guoping was completely different from before.
Earlier, Mao Guoping had been arrogant and overbearing in front of Jiang Yi. Now, he was acting like a subservient dog.
"I can overlook what happened today, but I have one condition!"
Jiang Yi glanced at Young Master Mao before speaking to Mao Guoping, "Make your son leave China. Don't let me see him again. The moment I see him, I can't help but want to beat him up."
Upon hearing this, Mao Guoping immediately understood.
Jiang Yi wanted Mao Guoping to exile Young Master Mao.
Mao Guoping had no other choice but to agree.
He knew very well that if he didn't agree, the entire Mao family would be finished, and not a single one of them would escape. Jiang Yi was already showing great leniency by only dealing with Young Master Mao.
Having to personally send away his own son in the end, Mao Guoping's guts were turning green with regret.
But now, it was too late.
"In three days, I will have my son deported from China!" Mao Guoping took a deep breath.
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Dad, you can't do this to me!"
Young Master Mao immediately shouted at Mao Guoping, "This kid is a nobody, why are you afraid of him? If you drive me out of China, how will I live my life!"
"Shut up!" Mao Guoping roared.
"I'm not convinced! I'm your biological son, and you treat me like this. You're even afraid of this beggar. Where will the dignity of our Mao family go!" Young Master Mao was utterly unconvinced.
"Slap!"
Mao Guoping slapped Young Master Mao again.
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Mao Guoping, "It seems that Young Master Mao is not convinced. It seems I have to make him truly submit. I'll add another condition: break both his legs..."
Upon hearing this, Mao Guoping panicked!
"Mr. Jiang, please don't be angry. I will handle this properly!"
After speaking, Mao Guoping called for bodyguards and had them drag Young Master Mao out of the hall.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
This was happening at the Royal Hotel, and Jiang Yi didn't want to escalate the situation and disrupt the hotel's business. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Mao Guoping and his son off so easily.
Dongfang Mei knew that Jiang Yi was doing this for the Royal Hotel and cast a grateful look at him.
"Mr. Jiang, do you have any further instructions?" Mao Guoping asked Jiang Yi respectfully.
"This Royal Hotel belongs to my girlfriend's family. A lot of things were damaged just now. Please handle it," Jiang Yi said.
"Mr. Jiang, please rest assured. I will definitely give the hotel an explanation. After I return, I will compensate the hotel for all its losses tenfold!" Mao Guoping said quickly.
"In that case, you may go. I'll let you off the hook!"
Jiang Yi said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Mao Guoping quickly left the hotel.
Mao Guoping had suffered a great loss this time, nearly bringing ruin upon the entire Mao family. From now on, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to provoke Jiang Yi again.
"The matter is concluded. I need to return to the private room!"
Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei.
"Mm!"
Dongfang Mei nodded.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to return to the private room, Boss Zhou and Zhou Momo walked over.
"Mr. Jiang, this matter has nothing to do with my daughter and me!"
Boss Zhou quickly explained, "I brought my daughter here today for a blind date with Young Master Mao. I never expected these two to be such characters. We will stay away from the Mao family from now on and will absolutely have no further dealings with them!"
"I know. I won't implicate you!"
After saying this, Jiang Yi turned and walked back towards the private room.
Inside the private room, the Chairman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, along with Bai Qi and Qian Wanduo, were waiting for Jiang Yi.
