Chapter 477: Sincerity

Seeing Wu Lefeng's dispirited look, everyone could not help but laugh aloud. I secretly scolded Chu Yuan, this bratty girl inside my mind. If she called him uncle, wouldn't it mean that I would have to call him uncle as well? Liusu and Dong Xiaoye those two dumb women still didn't realize what happened. They were still in the mood to laugh.

In fact, I also laughed. I didn't expect that Wu Lefeng was such a humorous person. But what I found even more funny was that Chu Yuan's had no improvement at all. She was already a big girl, but she still dared not talk to strangers.

In contrast, Dongfang Lianren was more sensible. She took the candies politely, and said obediently: "Hi, Uncle Wu, hi, Elder Sister Mu, hi, Elder Sister Avril, and this uncle..."

"Please, don't," The chic and suave restaurant owner hurriedly waved his hand and smiled helplessly: "Little sister, please don't call my uncle. I'm not that old, you should call me Elder Brother. My name, Kong Jiancheng." The last sentence was a self-introduction, and he was saying it to me.

"Hi, Uncle Kong." Dongfang Lianren was absolutely deliberate.

Boss Kong smiled bitterly and shook his head while sighing, "it seems that I'm really old even if I don't want to admit it. In the end, I still became an uncle."

I shook hands with him, "Hello, my name is Chu Nan, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Kong Jiancheng looked like an unrestrained and outgoing person at a glance, he laughed and said, "Lefeng's friend is also my friend, Brother Chu, I just heard about you from Lefeng and Mu Rui, you are really a lucky guy..." 

Seeing Liusu and Dong Xiaoye's face change, he immediately stopped the ambiguous smile that had just appeared and said seriously: "But I admire you more. You're so much more romantic and courageous than Lefeng. I used to admire him the most. Now, I admire you the most. What you did impressed me so much that I felt like I have been completely enlightened. Secrecy is already an outdated concept. In the future, my role model will no longer be Lefeng. Hahahaha."

You are just envious of me having two girlfriends, right? Kong Jiancheng was worthy of being a man in the business field. The feeling of strangeness when meeting someone for the first time was easily dispelled by him in just a few words.

"Quit your flattery. Who doesn't know what you are really thinking?" Wu Lefeng kicked Kong Jiancheng and said with a smile: "Go, prepare your best private room. It's nine o'clock already. Everyone is hungry..."

"That room isn't available at the moment," Kong Jiancheng said with embarrassment and then started complaining: "If you want to come to my place for dinner, you should've told me in advance. Now there are customers in that room... "

"Really?" Wu Yuefeng definitely didn't expect that Kong Jiancheng would say this. His face was full of suspicion. "Didn't you tell me that you don't give out that room easily?"

"That depends what kind of customer it is. Do you know what kind of guests are in that room now? You probably wouldn't believe it even if I tell you," Kong Jiancheng said with exaggerated gestures: "They are five women, and all of them are very pretty… Of course, they are not as pretty as the four ladies and two little sisters here. But you definitely wouldn't believe how arrogant they were when they arrived here. The moment they walked in, they complained about how small my place is and demanded the best room. Their condescending tone was so infuriating, so I told them that we only give our best room to our friends."

I more or less understood what was going on after hearing what he said. Clearly, this man wanted to make friends with those women. Otherwise, he wouldn't have indirectly told those women that if they wanted the room, they needed to become his friends. This actually reminded me of Brother Wei. I believed that if this man met brother Wei, they would definitely become good friends...

Wu Lefeng said impatiently: "Then why did you let them in?"

"I also didn't want to let them in," Kong Jiancheng said with a long face: "before I even finished speaking, I was surrounded by five muscular bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses. They were so big that they looked like five bears dressed in suits. I couldn't even reach their eyebrows when I stood on tiptoe, so what else can I do?" 

"They are here to make trouble?" Mu Rui was taken aback, "Did you call the police?" 

"Make trouble?" Kong Jiancheng chuckled helplessly: "They are arrogant because they have money. They simply gave me a bundle of cash and specifically asked for that room. I'm a businessman after all, how can I refuse such a generous customer?"

Wu Lefeng almost couldn't hold back his urge to kick him to the ground, "It turns out that you are just greedy!"

"It's called finding the right business opportunities. If everyone came to my place to eat free meals like you, my place would have already closed down. I can't run my business like this. Besides, was it not you who told me that you would go to the Wuzhou Hotel to have dinner with your lucky audience and that you wouldn't come here?"

"Nonsense. If you didn't call me when I was surrounded by many people, do you think I would say that? It was just a distraction so I can enjoy a quiet dinner..." 

"You only remember me when you want some place quiet. My place almost became a secret dating place for you two." Kong Jiancheng then turned to speak to Mu Rui: "Honestly, Mu Rui, it is not that I want to criticize you, but you are also a woman, but why don't you learn how to cook at home? Compared to you, Yi Ting is much better in this regard."

Yi Ting, I remember that Wu Lefeng had mentioned this name before. This was the name of his wife.

Mu Rui was still wary of us. Seeing that these two guys didn't treat us as outsiders at all, she was a little anxious at first. But when she heard that Kong Jiancheng began to expose her embarrassing weakness, she finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her face instantly fell and she said annoyingly, "So what if I don't know how to cook? Lefeng did not even complain, why do you complain so much? Just shut up and prepare a room for us!" 

Is this really the gentle, quiet, and friendly Mu Rui I know? Oh my god, she turns out to be so tough in reality...

"Alright, alright, calm down. I will prepare a room, but I definitely can't get that room back." Kong Jiancheng then turned to me and said apologetically. "Brother Chu, do you mind changing the room? I don't want to be beaten out by a group of big men in front of five beauties..."

"Why would I mind? It's already our honor to be able to have dinner with stars. Not to mention the luxury western food, I wouldn't even complain if it is a food stall on the side of the street. The important thing is who we have dinner with, not what we eat and where we eat."

This kind of deliberate flattery was so cringy and I didn't like it at all... However, Wu Lefeng and Kong Jiancheng's unconcealment was not because they trusted us entirely. On the contrary, it was more like a psychological offensive. I could feel it, so I felt very uncomfortable, not knowing what kind of attitude I should put on. In fact, what I wanted to do the most now was to take Chu Yuan and other girls back home immediately.

"Look at this Brother Chu. He is very young, but he is much more sensible." Kong Jiancheng was obviously much more shrewd than Wu Lefeng and Mu Rui. He concealed his surprise at my slick reply and said: "Then I will go and prepare the room now. You can chat with each other first. Hehe, Brother Chu, don't be so nervous. Let me tell you, Lefeng insists on inviting you to dinner not because you are lucky to be selected as a lucky audience; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked you to come to this place. He is a man who firmly believes in fate. He wants to make friends with you. Do you know what I mean?"

I smiled slightly without answering him because there was no way to answer. Kong Jiancheng's meaning was very clear: as a friend, I had an obligation to keep secrets for Wu Lefeng and Mu Rui. They treated me sincerely, so I should also sincerely repay their trust... 

The so-called "sincerity" here was forced. In the end, they only treated me this way because they had no other choices. After all, I already knew the secrets of Wu Lefeng and Mu Rui, so no matter how they conceal it, it would be useless...

As soon as Kong Jiancheng left, Wu Lefeng came up to me and patted me on the shoulder with a smile, "Mr. Chu, I hope you won't mind it. He is just this kind of person, so please don't think too much." 

I couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't think too much, but someone else sure did..."

Wu Lefeng was dazed for a moment at my words, then he smiled bitterly: "you're right, we think too much... By the way, Mr. Chu, how old are you? If you don't mind me asking."

"24," I said with confusion. I didn't understand why he would be interested in my age all of sudden.

Wu Lefeng said in surprise: "Just 24? Excuse me, what do you do?"

"I'm just a white-collar worker."
