My Beautiful CEO.

Just then, the manager of the entertainment center came out. The person guarding the place explained the situation to the manager, who, seeing that Li Cheng was holding a bill for a luxury private room, went up to him and tried to persuade him:

"Scarface, can we let this go? Both of you are VIPs at our entertainment center. Why make such a fuss over a hostess? I can always find you another pretty girl..."

Scarface shoved the manager aside, still aggressive, and glared at Li Cheng, saying, "VIPs are nothing! Why don't you ask around? Which of the nearby entertainment venues doesn't give me face?"

The manager smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Scarface is indeed impressive. Most people wouldn't reach your level. In my opinion, let's handle this matter like this: all orders tonight will be sold at half price. What do you think?"

"Besides that, I'll find a few more beautiful women from the entertainment center to keep you company, and we'll call it even, okay? As for Yang Tao, she's really not available. Before she started working, she said she could only accompany people for drinks..."

"No way! I want her today! And you, kid, where are you from? State your name! Since you want to get involved in this, I'm going to stick with you. How do you want to play? I'll play with you!" Scarface yelled at Li Cheng again.

Li Cheng wasn't really involved in any of those things; he was just a low-level employee at Zhang Qing's company.

But in this situation, Li Cheng couldn't back down! If he did, he would end up being bullied along with Yang Tao.

However, money is a good thing. He could easily get the manager of the entertainment center to look at him differently by simply booking a luxury private room. Li Cheng decided to show off to the end. With Zhang Qing, a rich woman, supporting him, Li Cheng's courage naturally grew.

"How do I want to play? I'd like to ask you that! This woman is mine to keep today! Manager, all the private rooms on the first floor, I'll book them all today! Scarface, you try doing what I do... Come on, manager, swipe your card now!"

Although Li Cheng felt a pang of pain as soon as he spoke, he knew he couldn't back down in front of a social scum like Scarface.

Holding the VIP card, the manager was quite taken aback by Li Cheng's words. He glanced at Li Cheng and asked nervously, "Sir, are you really going to book the whole place?"

"Don't tell me you're still not willing?" Li Cheng questioned.

The manager immediately sent someone to process it, then said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was just confirming."

"Alright, is everything confirmed? If it is, then clear the area immediately! The guests I invited today are all the most distinguished. If these unimportant people scare them away, you can't afford the consequences!" Li Cheng said authoritatively.

The manager nodded repeatedly, then turned to Scarface and said, "Scarface, could you please go somewhere else? I promise you, everything you do here today is free, you won't spend a single penny."

Scarface was losing face, still yelling menacingly, "You son of a bitch, think you're so great just because you have money? I'm not leaving today! If this isn't settled, I'm not letting this kid off the hook!"

As soon as Scarface finished speaking, he prepared to attack Li Cheng.

Seeing this, the manager quickly stepped in front to block them, and the thugs who guarded the entertainment center also surrounded them.

Just then, a group of people came running over noisily.

Li Cheng looked and realized it was the group of old men and the driver accompanying the rich woman that Zhang Qing had invited.

These drivers were all burly and strong, and their noisy approach was quite intimidating.

Seeing that they had arrived, Li Cheng felt even more confident.

"Hey, is the private room open yet? The bosses have been waiting downstairs for ages and they're starting to ask!" the lead driver shouted.

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng knew why these drivers had come. He guessed that their boss had sensed something was wrong and had sent them to inquire about the situation.

Li Cheng then said loudly, "Brothers, you've come at the right time. I've run into a little trouble here and haven't dealt with it yet. You guys go to the private room first and call all the bosses. I'll be right over once I've sorted things out here."

This immediately dampened the arrogance of Scarface's group.

After the drivers left, Li Cheng said to Scarface, "Scarface, why don't you mark a lane for me?"

Upon seeing this, the manager immediately realized what was going on. He was unwilling to offend Li Cheng, this god of wealth, so he immediately ordered his thugs to forcibly drive the scarred man away.

As he left, Scarface pointed at Li Cheng's nose, still seething with resentment, and said fiercely, "If it weren't for the manager's sake, I would never have let you off today! You better remember this: don't let me run into you again, or I'll make you pay! Including this woman next to you, she'll pay too!"

Li Cheng was secretly amused. This scarred man, who was clearly his defeated opponent, was still being stubborn? It was obvious that he was just talking big, acting tough on the surface but actually being a coward.

Besides, Scarface was probably worried that Li Cheng was too wealthy and powerful, and he didn't dare to confront the entertainment city head-on, so he had no choice but to give up.

Seeing the scarred man leave, Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Tao kept trembling.

Li Cheng glanced at her and said with pity, "It's alright, it's nothing, don't worry!"

Yang Tao lowered her head, whispered a thank you, then took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, took one out, and tried to light it, but her hand was shaking so badly that she couldn't light it no matter what she did.

Li Cheng lit the cigarette for her, she took a puff, and then started coughing violently.

The pungent smell of smoke instantly brought tears to her eyes.

Li Cheng said softly, "Yang Tao, why are you doing this to yourself? Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Yang Tao shook her head and said, "No need." Then she glanced at Li Cheng again and said thank you once more.

After saying that, Yang Tao got up to leave, and the sight of her made Li Cheng feel a pang of sadness.

Just then, the old men and wealthy women arrived, their drivers leading the way, and they all walked towards the luxury private room.

Li Cheng no longer cared about Yang Tao and turned to walk towards those people.

Those men were naturally unhappy that they didn't see Zhang Qing. One of them, a lecherous old man, asked Li Cheng directly, "Where did President Zhang go? What's the point of us staying here if she's not coming? We might as well leave now."

Li Cheng had no choice but to accompany them cautiously with a smile on his face.

However, these people were unhappy without Zhang Qing's company, and Li Cheng had to drive later, so he absolutely could not compete with them in drinking.

After thinking it over, Li Cheng could only say, "Gentlemen, Ms. Zhang is in the restroom. Please wait here while I go check if she's done."

After saying that, Li Cheng walked outside.

Once they arrived at the car outside the entertainment center, Zhang Qing was fast asleep. Li Cheng knocked on the door, but she still didn't wake up.

Li Cheng shook his head and got into the car from the other side.

Once in the car, Li Cheng saw that Zhang Qing's clothes were disheveled and her face was flushed. From his angle, he could see that Zhang Qing's collar was slightly open.
