Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1697 - 1700: Hero Saves the Beauty, Smile of Tomorrow's Star

Upon hearing the well-dressed man's words, the entire banquet hall fell silent. The young men who had been trying to ingratiate themselves with Song Weiyin earlier looked on helplessly."Zhai Zhijie is indeed arrogant, but what can you do? Every time he shows up, he finds every way to make others believe he owns Song Weiyin, and today is no different. Song Weiyin casually recommended this restaurant, and now he demands payment as if he's in charge."

"We can't compare; he's the heir to the Golden Radiance Consortium, with assets worth billions. How could we fight that?"

"Hehe, this little restaurant is in trouble. Song Weiyin's worth is extraordinary; if they really paid her endorsement fee, the restaurant might as well change its name to Song's."

As they whispered among themselves.

A glint of amusement flickered in Song Weiyin's eyes, while her middle-aged female assistant looked surprised, clearly sensing Zhai Zhijie's provocation towards Shen Qiang.

But then, to their amazement, despite their divine sense having already noticed Shen Qiang outside the restaurant heading to the third floor, he didn't come straight in to confront Zhai Zhijie.

This left them a bit dumbfounded.

Yet Zhai Zhijie, impeccably dressed, walked to a table beside Song Weiyin with complete indifference, gentlemanly pulling out a chair for her and indicating for her to sit, then said with a smile, "Don't take it seriously; I was just joking earlier. The restaurant owner is just doing small business to survive; how could I trouble him?"

At these words, not only was the actress Song Weiyin disappointed, but her middle-aged female assistant also showed a look of disappointment.

Because they understood that for a cultivator, whose ears and eyes are exceptionally sharp, it was impossible for Shen Qiang not to have heard this conversation.

This implied Shen Qiang might avoid a conflict with Zhai Zhijie, thus disrupting the expected script of a heroic encounter or rescue.

"Young Master Zhai is as humorous as ever," Song Weiyin smiled slightly.

Meanwhile, Zhai Zhijie raised an indifferent eyebrow and smiled, "This isn't humor; it's the truth. If I truly had a grudge against a restaurant owner, people would just laugh at me."

"Besides, even if you don't say it, I can imagine that for an ordinary restaurant, no matter how good the food is, you would at most visit a few more times. Posting on social media, which seems like sharing your current situation, is essentially promotional behavior driven by interests."

Song Weiyin was taken aback.

Zhai Zhijie, impeccably dressed, cast a disdainful glance at the three young men staring at him but dared not meet his gaze. He smiled indifferently, "Clearly, regarding this restaurant, they can't afford your promotional fee, so tell me, who is behind this deal with you?"

Fixing his gaze on Song Weiyin's beautiful eyes, Zhai Zhijie smiled faintly, "Perhaps I could talk to him and have him stay away from you. And, I want you to understand, I like you and want you to be my woman. Whenever you encounter problems, don't hesitate to approach me. Whether it's money or career, I can effortlessly elevate you to greatness."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female assistant beside Song Weiyin urgently transmitted a message, "This Zhai Zhijie has already seen through it. Find a way to dismiss him quickly; if this continues, he'll ruin Grandma's plan."

Song Weiyin, quickly understanding, smiled slightly, "Thank you, Young Master Zhai, for your kindness. My life is alright at the moment, and the crew is waiting, so I'm sorry, I must go."

Having said that, Song Weiyin turned to leave.

Zhai Zhijie frowned, stood up to block Song Weiyin, and said loftily, "I thought you already knew me well, but it seems you still don't. Whatever I want, I never fail to get, and you're no exception. So tell me the name of the person who coaxed you into promoting this restaurant, so I can let him know whom he has angered."

Hearing this, not only was Song Weiyin taken aback, but everyone in the banquet hall gazed intently at Zhai Zhijie, especially those acclaimed directors, famous actors, writers, and producers, who didn't dare make a sound.

"What's going on? Who is bold enough to anger Zhai Zhijie? Are they tired of living?"

"This is going to be a problem. Zhai Zhijie is not only ruthless but also a sadist who enjoys tormenting others for fun. But what can we do? He is extremely wealthy and smart; offend him, and you won't get away unscathed."

"Hehe, better you than me—Zhai Zhijie is like an overly-sensitive mad dog. Helping Song Weiyin at this moment would certainly warrant his vicious bite."

Everyone had their thoughts, their eyes wandering, pretending not to see.

At this moment, watching Song Weiyin trying to leave, Zhai Zhijie said in a deep voice, "It's useless not to say. Since I asked about this, I won't rest until I get an answer. The woman I fancy, no one can touch!"

"You're being too much," Song Weiyin said, "Excuse me."

She then proceeded to leave.

As Song Weiyin seemed to completely ignore him, Zhai Zhijie, slightly agitated, stepped forward to catch her.

People in the banquet hall were also stunned, watching intently.

Some even visualized the scene of the graceful, youthful, and charming Song Weiyin being grabbed by Zhai Zhijie in their minds.

But just then, a clear male voice suddenly rang out.

"I was the one who asked Ms. Song Weiyin for help to promote the Datong River restaurant in Beijing. If this gentleman is displeased, we can discuss it in my office, but don't ruin the atmosphere here."

In an instant, all eyes turned to the restaurant entrance of the banquet hall.

And suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Because at that moment, they all clearly saw Shen Qiang, dressed in a dark navy suit, with a stylish narrow bright blue tie, crisp white shirt, and elegant vest. Tall, athletic, with a charming and confident smile, he exuded an inexplicably powerful aura.

"Who are you?" Wearing a light blue suit, Zhai Zhijie immediately recognized the luxury in Shen Qiang's attire, from the expensive suit to the high-end accessories. Even though the aura of a Mixed Element Realm expert might not stand out among cultivators, it was extraordinarily imposing among ordinary people!

As Zhai Zhijie questioned,

The people present exchanged surprised whispers.

"Who is this young man? He looks so dashing; he doesn't even need makeup to play a cold CEO in a modern drama."

"That hint of a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth is amazingly handsome!"

"The ultimate gentleman-rogue smile, the sensual long legs, the regal presence—though this man seems unfamiliar, if he chose to enter showbiz, he'd undoubtedly become a star of tomorrow!"
