Su Yingxue's face was filled with worry.
But seeing Chen Fan's confident expression, she felt relieved.
She believed in Chen Fan's character, just as he had come to save her from despair last time, always giving her a sense of security.
"What, you're not grateful for the opportunity?"
Seeing Chen Fan's calm demeanor, Shirley became even more displeased and said with a cold laugh.
"Serve the rich female patrons of the club well, and even a small tip is more than you'd earn in a year!"
Chen Fan ignored her.
Shirley was choked with anger and said, "Believe it or not, with just one word from me, you won't get your wages, and you won't be able to leave the Royal City Club!"
Su Yingxue's expression became tense, and she tightly gripped Chen Fan's hand.
Chen Fan's gaze turned cold, and he said faintly, "Try it."
"Manager Lin, look at this. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can run amok in the Royal City. As the security manager, shouldn't you take some action?" Shirley said to Manager Lin.
"No problem, Manager Shirley just needs to give the order. How do you want to teach them a lesson?"
Manager Lin's greedy eyes swept over Su Yingxue with a smile.
"Didn't you say money is reason?"
"Mr. Chen, this live-in son-in-law, and Su Yingxue, have disrupted our club's operations, spread rumors, and damaged the club's reputation, indirectly causing the club financial losses. Shouldn't they compensate us?"
Shirley chuckled, her eyes rolling as she came up with a plan.
Manager Lin's eyes lit up. His greedy gaze swept over Su Yingxue's perfect figure, and he nodded, saying earnestly:
"Our security department's duty is to protect company assets and uphold the company's rights."
"For any act that infringes upon Royal City Entertainment Company, we have the right to take all necessary measures to recover and remedy the company's interests!"
He was secretly delighted.
He had had his eyes on Su Yingxue for a long time.
There were many beautiful women in the Royal City Club, but compared to Su Yingxue, their figures and faces paled in comparison.
Moreover, Su Yingxue's elegance was not comparable to the women in the club who reeked of the red-light district.
Unfortunately, Su Yingxue had always maintained her integrity and never showed favor to anyone, which only made him yearn for her.
Perhaps this was an opportunity!
Su Yingxue was shocked and furious.
Shirley and Lin Baoguo were colluding, twisting the facts, and slandering her?
And they wanted her to compensate them?
"You're going too far. Is there no law anymore?"
Su Yingxue was furious.
"Too far? The law? Are you talking about the law in the Royal City Club?"
Shirley laughed heartily, "Do you know who owns the Royal City Club? The boss can make Hanzhou tremble with a stomp. Do you think you people are worthy of talking about the law here?"
After laughing, her expression turned cold, "Su Yingxue, I've long disliked your pretense. You come to a place like a club and still act so pure and noble, as if the rest of us are all defiled, right?"
"Today, without 100,000 yuan, don't even think about leaving the Royal City Club!"
Su Yingxue trembled.
Chen Fan patted Su Yingxue's shoulder to comfort her and said faintly, "I'd like to see how you plan to stop us from leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw it was Han Shuying calling.
Only ten minutes had passed.
"Mr. Long, we've investigated. The Royal City Entertainment Club is an industry owned by Zhou Zeguang, and he's on his way."
On the phone, Han Shuying asked cautiously, "What happened? Zhou Zeguang was so scared he didn't dare to call you directly. He asked me to inquire."
Zhou Zeguang was one of the nine directors of the Grand Dynasty Group.
One could imagine how terrified Zhou Zeguang must have been upon suddenly learning that Chen Fan had called and wanted to acquire the Royal City Entertainment Club.
Chen Fan was slightly surprised and said, "The time remains half an hour. If he can't make it, there's no need for him to come."
Han Shuying's voice was full of anticipation, with a hint of coquetry, "Mr. Long, do you want me to come and help you..."
Chen Fan did not answer, as he had already hung up the phone.
"Hmph, still pretending? Manager Lin, what are you waiting for?"
Shirley urged with a cold smile.
She knew Su Yingxue's family was in financial difficulty, and 100,000 yuan was enough to scare her.
But to her surprise, Chen Fan's nonchalant calmness made her even more resentful.
It was bad enough that she couldn't compare to Su Yingxia, but Chen Fan, a worthless son-in-law dumped by Su Yingxia, didn't even deign to look at her, making her furious and driven mad.
Lin Baoguo took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, a group of security guards appeared at the entrance.
Su Yingxue was furious.
These two scumbags were too shameless.
"Su Yingxue, I'll give you a chance."
Shirley said triumphantly, "Spend a night with Manager Lin, and not only will you not have to pay for reputational damage, but you'll also get a promotion and a raise immediately. Otherwise, you'll work in the club until you've paid off the compensation!"
Su Yingxue was so angry that tears almost fell, but she stubbornly said, "You're dreaming!"
Lin Baoguo's expression became a little excited. He glanced gratefully at Shirley, feeling that this woman understood him perfectly.
"There are fifteen minutes left."
Chen Fan's gaze was cold as he spoke.
Shirley and Lin Baoguo exchanged glances, and both burst into laughter.
"You good-for-nothing, are you addicted to pretending?"
Shirley sneered, "Do you know who the boss of the Royal City is? I'm afraid telling you will scare you to death!"
"I don't care who he is. If I don't see him within fifteen minutes, this club can close down."
Chen Fan said expressionlessly.
Shirley laughed until she was bent over.
Lin Baoguo also sneered, but after a few laughs, he inexplicably felt uneasy.
As the security manager of the club, he had seen all sorts of people. Chen Fan's calm and composed demeanor made him feel that something was unusual.
He had only seen such a demeanor in people of the boss's caliber.
This shouldn't be, wasn't this guy a son-in-law who was kicked out?
He was a little unsure.
"Our boss can make Hanzhou tremble with a stomp. What are you?"
Shirley put her hands on her hips and pointed at Chen Fan, "What can you do even if I give you fifteen minutes? I'd like to see how else you, a good-for-nothing, can pretend?"
Chen Fan completely ignored her.
He comforted Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, don't worry. We'll get this insult sorted out today."
Su Yingxue looked at Chen Fan and inexplicably felt at ease.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded.
The security guards at the entrance bowed in unison and shouted, "Boss!"
An elder over fifty, with an extraordinary demeanor, appeared at the entrance, surrounded by bodyguards and subordinates.
Shirley and Lin Baoguo stood up in shock.
The boss actually came in person?
Did Chen Fan really call him here? How was that possible?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Shirley subconsciously shook her head, unwilling to accept this speculation. With a fawning smile and a swaying waist, she went forward and called out in the sweetest, most charming voice, "Boss!"
To her surprise, the boss didn't even look at her. His gaze swept over and landed on Chen Fan sitting on the sofa. His expression shook, and he hurried over.
Disgusted by Shirley blocking his path, the boss pressed her face with one hand and pushed her aside like trash.
In front of Chen Fan, the boss bowed deeply, his voice respectful and low, "Mr. Chen, I apologize, I'm late!"
