Chapter 178 Chapter 178 Request
Han Xuewei immediately grabbed Lin Yi's hand at that moment, pulling him to one side and sitting down before saying, "Honey, I think you need to explain this to me!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi scratched his head somewhat guiltily and chuckled, "I haven't told you before, but now you've seen it, it was indeed a business I started privately, I didn't expect it to become..."
As Lin Yi spoke calmly, Han Xuewei was obviously shocked.
However, after Lin Yi said a few words, she believed him completely. She had no reason to distrust Lin Yi, and even patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction.
"I didn't expect you to be a big boss now, and that makes me the boss's wife. You're really something, honey."
Han Xuewei said this very happily.
Lin Yi felt a bit unnatural upon receiving Han Xuewei's praise, sitting up straight and smiling slightly.
He was still somewhat reserved in such a public setting, and just then, Lin Jie, seeing their affectionate display, inadvertently showed an awkward look.
Looking down, he saw Qin Xiaoxu gnawing on their shared steak—she had already finished one and was now eating his portion too!
How could this girl eat so much?!
The people present didn't dare to say more, especially after witnessing the humiliating consequences of Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun's previous show-off.
So now they just focused on eating, eating, and eating!!
They might never get a second chance in their lives to eat at such a high-class hotel buffet, where they could have whatever they wanted; even lobster and abalone were no longer any concern.
Meanwhile, the manager of the hotel demonstrated sharp acuity by specially arranging some top chefs to come over and cook for them.

Many people were eating, their gazes unconsciously drifting towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi, however, didn't care at all. He ate very little, as he was mostly full already.
Now, he was sitting aside, chatting with Han Xuewei.
At this moment, Li Lanxue sat in the corner with a face ashen with mortification, knowing that she had caused a huge problem.
Just then, her phone suddenly lit up with a call from her father. The moment she answered, an enraged voice burst forth on the other end.
"Li Lanxue, what trouble have you caused outside? I'll tell you, the general manager Song Jinhui just called me. I thought it was something good, but he told me that starting today, they are terminating the contract with the Li Family!!"
"Do you realize that our family's liquor business's biggest client is Jinguo Hotel? Do you know how much it helps our company in a year? Now that you've offended such a big client, are you going to care about the stock in the warehouse or not? Have you thought about that?!"
"Perfectly fine as you were, you just had to go out and hold a party, and now you've upset the owner of the hotel. You really know how to cause trouble. I actually thought you were sensible, but he went as far as calling me directly."
"Billions of business just gone like that. If the wine business doesn't prosper after this, then you'd better be ready to face the wind, and forget about living the lavish life you're used to! It's just naive, overly naive!!"
Li Lanxue's father was shouting furiously, clearly about to have a stroke with anger.
At this moment, Li Lanxue, having heard all this, was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak again, and after being scolded by her father, she hung up the phone.
Shen Wenjun came over and saw Li Lanxue's demeanour; he could roughly guess what had happened.
However, he offered no comfort to Li Lanxue; their relationship was such that if her company went bankrupt, it would be of no value to him.
Shen Wenjun was about to leave when several men approached.
The men wore suit uniforms, one of them in a gray suit, whom Shen Wenjun recognized.
That was Han Dong, the manager of Wenqu Mall.
Seeing Han Dong, Shen Wenjun showed a delighted expression, as he had specifically discussed a partnership with Han Dong before. It seemed Han Dong valued him highly, hence his presence here.
Feeling very pleased, Shen Wenjun eagerly approached and said, "Manager Han, I didn't expect to see you here. Have you come to dine?"
Han Dong, surprised, looked over at Shen Wenjun.
After a moment, Han Dong felt awkward; he didn't remember who this man was.
Meeting many clients every day, Han Dong wouldn't recall anyone unimportant. So, he politely inquired, "May I ask who you are?"
Hearing this, Shen Wenjun appeared embarrassed and stood there stiffly, with a forced smile on his face.
He was taken aback by how quickly Han Dong had forgotten him and realized he held no weight in Han Dong's eyes.
Somewhat mortified, he managed to say, "Manager Han, it's normal for you to be busy and not remember me. I've been in touch with your assistant these past few days, and I wanted to invite you out for a meal, but you've always been busy. I am Shen Wenjun, the owner of a women's accessory company."
Hearing this, Han Dong remained somewhat confused.
He was there to find Lin Yi, yet now this man had stopped him.
Normally very efficient in his work and not tolerating delays, Han Dong tried to remember.
Suddenly, a name came to his mind, and he said, "Are you that young man surnamed Shen who has been calling me?"
Recently, Han Dong had indeed received a call from someone wanting his jewelry company to be housed in their mall, hoping for a chance to partner with them.
But the jewelry was just ordinary, small-branded stuff, while their mall hosted international brands.
Such small brands wouldn't sell well, and taking them on would just take up space without profit, so he had no intention of doing so.
Moreover, Shen Wenjun really lacked discernment; Han Dong had already deliberately rejected him during the call.
Thus, without leaving Shen Wenjun any face, he straightforwardly asked, "Were you the one who kept calling, asking me to give your company an opportunity?"
With Han Dong's words out, the surrounding people heard every word clearly. They were shocked that Shen Wenjun, the apparently affluent young man, had to grovel to others as well. It was truly astonishing.
