Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 748: Chapter 747 Dismantle this Wooden Lion and Send it to the Private Room

Su Yang quietly watched everything from the side, and he could naturally sense the anger in Hu Yong’s heart. However, he didn’t speak.

If it had been the old Su Yang, he would have definitely slapped the person by now.

But what would he do after the slap? No matter how insufferable Zhang Aiqin was, she was still Zhang Aiyun’s sister, and Su Yang needed to save some face for this sister-in-law.

Besides, why bother hitting such a vain and mercenary shrew?

Just then, the waiter rushed over with the manager in tow.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Aiqin immediately sneered, ”Little brother, I advise you to take Xiao Jie and move back. This kid waved someone else’s business card around pretending to be a big shot. The manager inside isn’t a fool, he surely saw through it at a glance. Making trouble in Wanhu Manor, they won’t tolerate any deceit. If they beat you up, I can’t help you!”

Zhang Aiyun’s face turned awkward as she looked at the nervous-looking manager, truly worried. If Su Yang was really just pretending to be more than he was, then it wouldn’t be just a matter of losing face. Since Wanhu Manor had powerful backing, if things blew up, they would definitely suffer.

”Old Hu...” Zhang Aiyun quietly grabbed Hu Yong’s clothing, signaling him to persuade Su Yang to leave.

Hu Yong shook his head at her, not knowing whether Su Yang had any connections in Wanhu City. However, after what happened on Lake Heart Island, Hu Yong believed that, even if Su Yang really had no networks in Wanhu City, nobody would dare to provoke him.

Moreover, Su Yang’s self-assured demeanor didn’t look fake at all. Could it be that Su Yang had some connections in Wanhu Manor?

The waiter and the manager walked out from the door, with the waiter directly pointing at Su Yang: ”Manager, it’s this gentleman!”

The manager immediately walked up to Su Yang, with excitement and reverence, extending his hand respectfully, ”Hello, sir, I am the general manager of Wanhu Manor, my name is Wang.”

Zhang Aiqin and the others behind were all astounded. What was this situation? The general manager of Wanhu Manor had come out, and moreover, treated Su Yang with such respect? What the hell?

Zhang Aiqin looked at Su Yang, failing to understand. Could that business card really be that powerful?

Su Yang had no intention of shaking hands and said calmly, ”I’ve brought my comrade and sister-in-law and nephew here for a meal, I heard that there are no seats available here?”

”You must be joking, sir.” Manager Wang hurriedly said, ”Having you dine with us is an honor for Wanhu Manor. Even if Wanhu Manor stops doing business with everyone else, we would absolutely make sure to take good care of you, sir.”

Manager Wang turned to the waiter, in an unquestionable tone, ”Go inside right away, and have the No. 95 private room vacated!”

The waiter, embarrassed, said softly, ”That No. 95 private room, tonight is booked by Mayor Zhou’s son. It’s said to be arranged for a few of his friends from out of town...”

”Let them use another room, this room must be vacated!” Manager Wang stated decisively.

”What?” The waiter was dumbfounded, as were Zhang Aiqin and the others behind.

A private room reserved by the mayor’s son, and Manager Wang said to vacate it just like that, and for Su Yang? What in the world was going on? What was the deal with that business card? Was Manager Wang really daring to offend such a prince because of a business card?

”What are you standing around for, go arrange it now!” Manager Wang snapped.

The waiter dared not say anymore and hurriedly ran inside to make arrangements.

Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm as if everything that was happening was entirely expected.

Zhang Aiyun and Zhang Aiqin were both dumbstruck, and even Hu Yong had a shocked expression on his face.

Hu Yong knew that Su Yang was skilled in fighting and had defeated the Qi family at Lake Heart Island. Nonetheless, while one might be skilled at fighting, influence in Wanhu Manor largely depended on relationships and money. Could Su Yang truly have such significant clout?

Manager Wang looked at Su Yang and said with an ingratiating smile, ”Sir, shall we go in and sit down? I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting outside for so long.”

”Hmm!” Su Yang nodded calmly and turned to Hu Yong with a smile, ”Brother Yong, sister-in-law, let’s go inside first.”

Zhang Aiyun was so astonished that she didn’t know what to say. Hu Yong barely recollected himself, cleared his throat with a trembling voice, ”Good, good, Ai Yun, go... go pick up Xiao Jie, and let’s go in...”

Zhang Aiyun was utterly bewildered, not comprehending what Hu Yong was talking about. Eventually, Hu Yong himself went over to pick up Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was playing by the railing where several wooden carved lions served as decorations, which were quite interesting to look at.

The little guy, with a look of reluctance, innocently asked Hu Yong, ”Dad, those little lions are so much fun, can you carve a few for me too?”

”Ah...” Hu Yong was completely baffled and didn’t know how to respond. Carving wooden lions wasn’t an easy task. These wooden lions were said to be carved by renowned artists, and the wood used was also very expensive. They were a famous attraction at Wanhu Manor.

At that moment, Su Yang spoke up, ”My little nephew likes those wooden lions, take them down and send them to our private room.”

Everyone was stunned. Zhang Aiqin looked at Su Yang as if he were an idiot, thinking to herself, was this guy stupid? A renowned feature of Wanhu Manor, those wooden lions were said to be worth millions. Did he really think he could just take them down?

Beyond the cost issue, the problem was that removing those lions would alter the entire Wanhu Manor’s scenery. It was as if they were dismantling the manor’s signature, could this even be done?

However, while Zhang Aiqin was sneering inwardly, Manager Wang decisively picked up the walkie-talkie, ”Old Li, get some carpenters over to the entrance to take down those pairs of wooden lions and bring them to the 95th private room. Yes, you heard me right, I didn’t misspeak, these lions, right away, bring your crew and dismantle them!”

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Manager Wang said with a servile grin, ”It’s arranged. Shall I lead you to the 95th private room now?”

”Alright!” Su Yang finally nodded in agreement.

Manager Wang led the way, ingratiatingly saying, ”This way, please.”

Su Yang turned to Hu Yong and Zhang Aiyun with a smile, ”Brother Yong, sister-in-law, you go ahead.”

Zhang Aiyun shivered in fear, too scared to move, wondering if she was dreaming.

Hu Yong was a bit braver and took a step forward. He hesitated slightly, then whispered, ”Su Yang, don’t take a child’s words seriously, these wooden lions, don’t... don’t dismantle them, they’re very expensive...”

”This is the first time I’m meeting my little nephew, and I haven’t even given him a welcome present. Now that he’s taken a liking to something, if I, as his uncle, were to skimp on this, how could I ever face him and expect him to call me ’Uncle’ in the future?”

Laughing, Su Yang patted Hu Yong on the shoulder, ”Let’s go inside. It’s just a few wooden lions. If my nephew likes them, even if it means dismantling Wanhu Manor and taking it home to decorate, it’s possible!”
