The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 44 - 44 0044 I Don't Have an Invitation

44: Chapter 0044: I Don’t Have an Invitation 44: Chapter 0044: I Don’t Have an Invitation Chu Ge furrowed his brows, about to speak when a sonorous voice suddenly came through: “Who shouted just now?”

A middle-aged man in a suit, with an authoritative look on his face, made his way through the crowd and came forward.

He glanced at Chu Ge, who was calm, then looked at Chen Jun, who wore a cold smirk mixed with pride, and asked with a frown: “What exactly is going on here?”

Although Chen Jun was the young master of the Chen Family, his backing was not to be underestimated, and he didn’t need to fear him too much.

It was best to handle the matter officially.

“Ha, Manager Wu himself is here, this kid is in for it!” someone who recognized him laughed and then looked at Chu Ge with a pitying expression.

Mu Bingtong’s brows were deeply furrowed; she knew something about this Manager Wu.

He was absolutely not an easy person to deal with, handling everything on official terms, not showing favoritism.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yanxia’s face revealed a schadenfreude smile, knowing full well that Chen Jun wouldn’t just evict Chu Ge and let it end at that.

This was just the beginning.

Following Mr.

Chen’s usual method, it was a gradual process of pushing a person into the depths of despair.

“Manager Wu, I suppose you’re not unfamiliar with me, are you?” Chen Jun stepped back a few paces and said to Manager Wu with a smile.

Manager Wu’s gaze swept over Chen Jun and nodded: “Hmm, the Eldest Young Master of the Chen Family?

I believe there are few in Shanghai who don’t recognize you.”

“Then, I won’t waste more words.” Chen Jun chuckled, pointing at Chu Ge, “I suspect this person did not receive an invitation at all and sneaked in on his own.

Moreover, this kid even dared to use the Ouyang Family as a cover, saying Miss Ouyang Die personally brought him in!”

After hearing this, Manager Wu’s face instantly turned sullen, and the crowd around them started to buzz with discussion.

Those who knew him were almost all aware that once Manager Wu’s face changed, the issue wouldn’t be easily resolved.

“Hehe, looks like Manager Wu is really fired up, seems this kid’s really in for it,” someone in the crowd sighed.

“That’s his own fault,” another person said: “With such a low status, he dared to sneak in here, and he even dared to use Miss Ouyang Die as a shield.

Two charges combined, this kid is not going to get away easily without losing some skin!”

“That’s for the best.” A middle-aged man in a suit coldly snickered: “The young people nowadays just don’t understand the heights of Heaven and the depths of Earth.

Giving him a profound lesson might be a good thing.’

Hearing the surrounding discussion, Mu Bingtong worriedly glanced at Chu Ge and was about to step forward to defend him when she noticed that Manager Wu had already walked straight up to Chu Ge: “Sir, please present your invitation.”

With those words, Mu Bingtong’s complexion paled.

At this point, any words were too late.

Where could Chu Ge have gotten an invitation from?

Sure enough, just as she had anticipated, Chu Ge remained silent for a moment before calmly stating: “I do not have an invitation.”

“Gasp—”

A wave of surprised murmurs rippled through the crowd.

Everyone had guessed the kid didn’t have an invitation, but they didn’t expect him to admit it so straightforwardly, without a single word of defense.

“What do you say, wasn’t I right?” Chen Jun sneered, his hands clasped behind his back, looking down on Chu Ge in arrogance.

A poor nobody daring to challenge him?

His eyes conveyed a blend of disdain and scorn, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.

For him, the Eldest Young Master of the Chen Family, an ordinary poor kid indeed wasn’t much different from an ant.

Manager Wu’s expression turned completely grim as he coldly said to Chu Ge: “So you are admitting that you indeed snuck in?”

Rising in his heart was a great surge of rage and fear.

After all, this banquet was hosted by the Ouyang Family, personally organized by Mr.

Ouyang himself.

The guest list for the banquet was meticulously curated by the Ouyang Family, leaving no room for excuses.

And he was in charge of the banquet, meaning the arrangement and deployment of personnel were his responsibilities.

Now, the fact that such a nameless youngster had infiltrated was a dereliction of duty on his part!

Negligence was already a serious matter, let alone at a banquet of the Ouyang Family.

Cold sweat immediately streamed down Manager Wu’s forehead, but his inner rage grew even more fierce.

“Manager Wu, listen to me…” Mu Bingtong saw Manager Wu’s demeanor and inwardly cursed, quickly stepping forward to try and make a case for Chu Ge.

However, Manager Wu shook his head at her, his eyes showing an indifferent dismissal: “You don’t need to say anything, I already know how to handle this.”

“Hehe, indeed the Manager Wu who’s known as ‘Iron-faced and Impartial’!” Chen Jun laughed heartily, poured himself a glass of red wine, and then watched Chu Ge with playful eyes.

Yet, just when everyone was waiting for Manager Wu to blow up, Chu Ge suddenly spoke: “I’ve said before, I was invited by the Ouyang Family, and Miss Ouyang Die personally escorted me in.

If you don’t believe it, you could just ask for yourself.”

Hearing Chu Ge’s words, Manager Wu hesitated.

After all, better safe than sorry.

Chen Jun, however, sneered upon hearing this, and said to Chu Ge: “Heh, playing Tai Chi now, are you?

Ask Miss Ouyang Die for confirmation?

Miss Ouyang Die is currently on the second floor, and at this moment all the core members of the Ouyang Family are there.

Who here is qualified to go there?”

“Exactly, that’s the area for the Ouyang Family’s internal gathering.

Apart from the other Three Major Families, who would dare to go there?” someone chimed in.

“That’s right.

None of the Three Major Families are present at today’s banquet.” Another person nodded: “It’s absolutely impossible to verify.”

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Chen Jun nodded in satisfaction, put down his wine glass, and pointed at Chu Ge: “So, this kid is just trying to leverage this fact to keep you from touching him.

If he were really a distinguished guest invited by the Ouyang Family, how could he not even produce an invitation?”

Chen Jun’s words made most people present concur, even a determined look flashed across Manager Wu’s eyes.

Chu Ge shook his head, remembering that there seemed to be an invitation made specifically for him in Ouyang Die’s car.

But since he had entered with her, he did not ask for this invitation.

“Verification?

Very simple.” Chu Ge shook his head, took out his phone: “I’ll just make a call to Mr.

Ouyang, and have him come down to greet me personally.”

“A call to Mr.

Ouyang?” Chen Jun exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then everyone looked at him and burst into laughter.

Even Mu Bingtong looked at Chu Ge with a sense of frustration, her beautiful eyes filled with deep disappointment.

Manager Wu spoke a few words into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, then looked at Chu Ge with a cold gaze.

He had already called security over, ready to throw the kid out directly.

To everyone’s surprise, there Chu Ge was actually making the call under the watchful eyes of all those present.
