Chapter 38: Who Exactly Are You?

The next second, Shen Yong appeared before everyone.

"Manager, you're here!" Wu Yuan bowed and scraped like a fawning lapdog.

However, Shen Yong stared at him coldly, his voice frigid: "Who did you say you were going to throw out?"

Wu Yuan quickly replied, "Manager, you don't understand. I was following your instructions to bring the fine wine and dishes to Young Master Li, but this loser didn't know his place and opened the wine before Young Master Li could. It upset him, so I was just trying to teach this pathetic loser a lesson on his behalf!"

As he spoke, Wu Yuan looked incredibly smug, thinking this would surely please the manager and secure him a promotion and a raise in the future.

Seeing this, Jiang Yalan tried to smooth things over for Qin Feng: "He is my friend. I will pay for this bottle of wine; tell me how much it is."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yong wouldn't dream of letting Jiang Yalan pay. This person was a friend of *that* individual, which made her a guest of honor at the Phoenix Pavilion.

"Miss, there is no need for you to pay for this wine..." Shen Yong said hastily.

Jiang Yalan was taken aback, assuming Shen Yong was refusing to accept her payment.

Li Ao laughed out loud. He walked up to Shen Yong and smiled, "Manager Shen, this loser is ignorant; just throw him out. Surely, the wine and dishes you sent me aren't meant for someone like him to enjoy?" He patted Shen Yong on the shoulder, feeling excellent and convinced he had stolen the spotlight.

Yet, Shen Yong merely glanced at him and slapped him directly across the face.

*Smack!*

The sound was crisp and clear, leaving Li Ao completely stunned.

"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to touch me? And who the hell told you this food and wine was meant for you?"

"Why don't you go find a mirror and look at yourself to see if you're even worthy, you idiot?" Shen Yong cursed, clearly incensed.

Wu Yuan was dumbfounded. He stammered, "Manager Shen, didn't you say the wine was for Young Master Li?"

Before he could finish, Shen Yong slapped him hard as well, leaving Wu Yuan seeing stars and his face red and swollen. He had long been fed up with this moron; he had eyes, yet he couldn't even recognize the right person.

"Shut the hell up!" After barking the order, Shen Yong hurried over to Qin Feng and, to the shock of everyone present, bowed deeply.

"Sir, I never imagined that a mistake could lead to such a situation."

"I am a fool; I should have come to deliver this to you personally."

"I hope you will not take offense. Please accept my apologies!"

The sight of such deferential behavior made everyone’s eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. What was going on? The person Manager Shen intended to treat was actually Qin Feng?

Looking over, Qin Feng remained calm, continuing to enjoy his red wine without any reaction.

In an instant, Li Ao and Wu Yuan were trembling with fear.

Li Ao steeled himself and said, "Manager Shen, this kid is just a poor loser, a mere intern doctor. You must have mistaken him for someone else, right?"

"I think you’re the damn poor loser!" Shen Yong glared at Li Ao and roared, "If you dare to show disrespect to this gentleman again, see if I don't cut your tongue out!"

"Don't think that just because you have the Li family name, you can act out here. Do you believe that if I report this to Ms. Qing, a single flash of her anger would be enough to cut off all your family's financial resources?"

At these words, Li Ao felt as if he were suffocating. The Wolong Bank was the largest financial system in the world; it certainly possessed that kind of power. But he couldn't understand why Qin Feng was worth such treatment from Shen Yong.

Wu Yuan realized the gravity of the situation, scrambled to his knees, and begged Qin Feng for mercy: "Sir, I had eyes but failed to see. Please forgive me this once. You are a magnanimous person; don't lower yourself to my level. I beg you!"

Qin Feng glanced at him and said languidly, "I still prefer the way you were acting so arrogantly earlier."

"Being this cowardly doesn't suit you."

Shen Yong, a shrewd man, realized immediately that the gentleman was angry.

"Security, you've come at the right time!"

"Beat this dog of a servant until he's half-dead, then throw him out. From this day on, no restaurant in Yunhai is to ever hire him again!"

Hearing the security guards arrive, Shen Yong’s words left Wu Yuan in despair. His future was gone, and he was filled with regret.

"Sir!"

"Please, forgive me just this once! I beg you!"

No matter how Wu Yuan wailed and begged, Qin Feng didn't even twitch an eyelid.

Before long, the sounds of Wu Yuan’s screams and howls echoed as he was dragged away. Hearing this, Li Ao shuddered, trembling with fright.

"Manager, calm down. I have matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Just as Li Ao tried to slip away, Shen Yong said coldly: "Stand still!"

As Li Ao froze in his tracks, Shen Yong walked over, raised his hand, and delivered another fierce slap.

*Smack!*

"Did I give you permission to leave?" Shen Yong roared. "Apologize to the gentleman, or I'll break your legs!"

Li Ao felt a surge of rage, but meeting Shen Yong's murderous gaze, he softened immediately: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry. I was wrong."

"Wrong? I don't see any attitude of apology there," Qin Feng said, still sipping his wine.

"What the hell are you waiting for, kneel down!"

Shen Yong, having a violent temper, kicked Li Ao to the ground and pressed his head down. "Kowtow and apologize to the gentleman until he forgives you! Otherwise, you aren't leaving the Phoenix Pavilion!"

Feeling the lethal aura radiating from Shen Yong, Li Ao panicked completely. He abandoned all pride and kowtowed to Qin Feng like a machine: "I'm sorry, Sir. I had eyes but failed to see Mt. Tai. I'm an idiot. I won't dare to cross you again."

"Please spare me, I won't ever do it again."

Soon, his forehead was covered in blood after nearly a hundred kowtows.

Only then did Qin Feng glance at him and say faintly, "Manager Shen, tell him to get lost. I’m trying to eat, and having him here is nauseating."

"Yes!"

Shen Yong immediately threw Li Ao out, leaving him disheveled and utterly humiliated.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sir. I will have your dishes replaced. As for today's incident, could I beg you not to mention it to Ms. Qing?" Shen Yong asked with a troubled face.

"Don't worry, I'm not a petty person."

"Go do what you need to do."

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Shen Yong’s heart settled, and he scurried off, saying, "Very well. Sir, if you need anything, I will be waiting at the door."

As Shen Yong departed, Jiang Yalan felt a sense of bewilderment. Was the man before her truly as ordinary as Banxia had described? He possessed a composure that even the young masters of the capital—who always walked with their noses in the air—lacked. Qin Feng, by contrast, carried an air of someone in a high position: calm, unhurried, and unflappable.

"What are you staring at?"

Qin Feng smiled at the dazed Jiang Yalan. "Eat. Otherwise, you'll go and report to Director Xu that I didn't host you well."

Jiang Yalan rolled her eyes at him, a gesture that was quite charming in its own way.

"Qin Feng, tell me, who exactly are you?" Jiang Yalan asked seriously.
