36: Chapter 36 Difficulties at the Dining Table_1 36: Chapter 36 Difficulties at the Dining Table_1 “Missed you, missed you to death, you damn kid, do you see what time it is now, still early morning?” Mei said on the phone.

Upon hearing Mei’s words, Ye Long immediately looked at his phone, “Crap…

it’s already past ten, almost eleven!”

“Hehe, sorry, Mei, got a bit lost in sleep there, sorry about that!” Ye Long said into the phone.

“Enough, stop muttering and hurry up, clean yourself up and come pick me up!” Mei said on the phone.

“Is there something wrong?” Ye Long asked.

“Seventh Brother has already contacted Du Jianguo and Director Wang,” Mei said on the phone.

“They’re saying let’s have lunch together at noon to mediate the matter of Xiong Fei getting hurt!”

Ye Long felt a bit depressed upon hearing this, “Mei, why bother mediating?

No need to pay them any attention.

If they dare trouble you, I’ll deal with them!”

“That’s enough, you don’t understand the ways of Ninghai City.

Just hurry up and pick me up!” Mei said on the phone.

Ye Long smirked.

Since Mei wanted to go, he had no choice but to pick her up.

However, Ye Long thought there was absolutely no need to negotiate with that Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang.

With him around, there was no need to fear them.

Weren’t they just a wealthy family and a director?

They weren’t so impressive!

“Alright, I’m on my way!” Ye Long agreed with a response.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Long got ready and then headed straight to Hongcheng Community to pick up Mei!

Mei was wearing a pair of black high heels and was dressed in a suit, with light makeup on, looking very beautiful and graceful!

Seeing Mei get into the car, Ye Long said with a teasing smile, “Mei, you’re really dressed up beautifully today!”

But Mei was in no mood to joke with Ye Long.

She was about to meet Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang, and although Ghost Qi would be there, she was still worried about the attitudes of Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang!

“Enough, no more jokes, let’s head to Shengtai Grand Hotel!” Mei instructed Ye Long.

“Mei, you don’t need to worry.

If the sky falls, I’ll be here to support it.

It’s okay!” Ye Long comforted Mei, who looked worried.

In Ye Long’s mind, Mei didn’t need to worry at all.

After all, he was a top bodyguard.

With him there, no one would be able to harm her.

It was just unfortunate that Mei didn’t yet know his true identity, nor did she know that he was by her side precisely to protect her!

It was impossible for Mei not to worry.

After all, the status of Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang in Ninghai City East District was something of which Mei was acutely aware!

If things were to turn sour, it definitely wouldn’t be something Ghost Qi could easily cover.

That was the reason he insisted on having Mei mediate!

Ye Long drove quickly to the Shengtai Grand Hotel!

The Shengtai Grand Hotel was the largest five-star hotel in Ninghai City!

On the way, Mei received a call from Ghost Qi, who said that he had already arrived!

The car stopped in the parking lot outside the Shengtai Grand Hotel, and Mei looking at Ye Long, said, “You wait for me in the car, alright?”

“How about I go up with you?” Ye Long asked, actually wanting to accompany Mei.

If she was bullied, he would be able to act immediately.

Mei waved her hand and said, “No need, I can handle it myself.

Ghost Qi is also there; they wouldn’t dare do much!”

Since Mei said it was inconvenient, Ye Long could only wait in the car!

Mei opened the car door, got out, and then headed straight for the hotel!

At the hotel entrance, Ghost Qi had been waiting for a long time!

“Seventh Brother!” Mei approached and greeted Ghost Qi.

Ghost Qi nodded and then said, “Ah Mei, Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang have already arrived; they’re in the private room now.

No matter how they give you a hard time later, you need to endure it, understand?”

Mei hesitated for a moment and then nodded, replying, “Yes, I understand!”

“Let’s go then!” Ghost Qi called out and led Mei upstairs to the private room.

Upon reaching the private room door, Ghost Qi composed himself, then pushed the door open with a smile and walked in!

“Director Du, Director Wang, Ah Mei is here!” Ghost Qi cheerfully brought Mei inside with him.

Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang glanced at Mei, then nodded grimly!

After Mei entered, she respectfully called out to Director Du and Director Wang, before sitting down next to Ghost Qi!

“Director Du, Director Wang, Ah Mei is here to apologize to both of you this time.

Regarding the matter with Young Master Du, she was wrong, and she hopes that both of you will overlook her minor misdeed and let this go,” Ghost Qi said to Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang with a smile.

However, Ghost Qi’s smiling face did not endear him to them.

Wang Shuangjiang looked disdainfully at Ghost Qi and said, “Old Seven, is it you who’s apologizing, or is it her?”

“Err… Ah Mei, hurry up and apologize to Director Du and Director Wang!” Ghost Qi awkwardly smiled and said to Mei.

Mei nodded, then with a faint smile, she said, “Director Du, Director Wang, I’m truly sorry about the incident with Young Master Du, and I apologize to you!”

“An apology?

Haha, just with a single sentence you expect to apologize?

That hardly seems sincere.

Drink this glass of liquor first, then we’ll talk about your apology!” Du Jianguo glanced at Mei, then handed her a glass of white liquor that was in front of him.

A glass of white liquor, down in one gulp, is not only difficult for a woman; even a man might struggle, especially when it’s high-proof liquor!

Mei looked at Du Jianguo, just about to speak, when Ghost Qi cheerfully picked up the liquor and said, “Come on, Ah Mei, if Director Du tells you to drink, you drink.

After all, we’ve come to apologize, let’s show a bit of sincerity!”

After speaking, Ghost Qi signaled to Mei with a look in his eyes, hinting at her not to worsen relations!

Mei glanced at Ghost Qi with a slight frown, hesitated for a moment, and then took the glass from Ghost Qi’s hand!

In the jianghu, one cannot do as one pleases, and that’s even more true for a woman in her situation.

Mei looked at the white liquor in the glass and then tilted her head back and downed it in one gulp!

As the liquor hit her stomach, a burning sensation arose from her abdomen and climbed up to her throat, causing Mei to cough uncontrollably a couple of times!

“Director Du, Director Wang, I’ve drunk the liquor.

I was wrong about the incident with Young Master Du, and here I am apologizing to you both, hoping you won’t hold onto it any longer!” Mei said to Du Jianguo and Wang Shuangjiang.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to have a pretty good tolerance!” Wang Shuangjiang laughed and then said, “You want to apologize?

Fine.

Here, I have another glass.

Drink mine first and let me see your sincerity!”

Mei looked at Wang Shuangjiang, then said, “Director Wang, I’m really sorry, but I can’t drink anymore!”

“Can’t drink anymore?

Are you refusing to give me, the Director, face?” Wang Shuangjiang looked at Mei somewhat displeased.
