The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 46 - 46 046 Apologize and Make Amends

46: Chapter 046: Apologize and Make Amends 46: Chapter 046: Apologize and Make Amends The turn of events caught everyone off guard.

Zhang Yanxia stepped back a few paces, her legs gave way, and with a thump, she sat down on the ground, pale-faced, staring at Chu Ge who stood beside Mr.

Ouyang.

Chen Jun was slightly better off; although his legs were weak, he supported himself on the table, avoiding public embarrassment.

Manager Wu, however, was in distress, for he stood right in front of Chu Ge, now hanging his head low, wishing he could tuck it into his trousers.

Cold sweat oozed out one drop after another, even dripping down from his nose, and he did not dare to reach up to wipe it.

Mu Bingtong’s eyes were wide, and her small mouth was agape, almost big enough to fit an egg.

Could it be that everything he said just now was true?

That it was indeed Ouyang Die who personally brought him in?

But soon, her eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of confusion flashed across her face.

If he had such great ability, why would he stay in her company as a mere security team leader?

There must be a problem!

Mu Bingtong stared at Chu Ge, her brows tightly knit in thought.

“Who was it just now that wanted to drive Mr.

Chu away?” Mr.

Ouyang surveyed the room with a cold tone in his voice.

Everyone’s gaze converged on Chen Jun, whose face twitched, and in his heart, countless metaphorical grass-mud horses galloped past.

“Haha, Chen Jun?

Young Master Chen, quite imposing!” Mr.

Ouyang looked at Chen Jun and scoffed: “It seems the Chen Family has flourished recently?

Or is it that this old man’s words no longer have weight, that you no longer regard me?”

Chen Jun’s face drastically changed.

If this huge blame were to be assigned to him, his own father might very well slaughter him personally!

This was no exaggeration; for a family, the safety of an individual could never outweigh the family’s interests.

“Old…

Old Master, you’ve misunderstood!” Chen Jun squeezed out an uglier smile than crying and dryly explained: “I was thinking since this is a banquet you are hosting, what if someone unworthy slipped in and tarnished your reputation?

I didn’t expect that in the end, it would be like flooding the Dragon King Temple—please be more forgiving!”

“Humph, who are you trying to fool?” Mr.

Ouyang snorted coldly, looked at Chen Jun, and said: “Making a mistake, a simple apology is not enough.”

Hearing Mr.

Ouyang’s words, Chen Jun gritted his teeth and said to Chu Ge: “Chu, I was wrong just now.

I will definitely prepare a generous gift when I get back as an apology!”

As he spoke, a pained expression crossed Chen Jun’s face.

With Mr.

Ouyang personally speaking, the gift could not be a small one; the Chen Family might very well suffer a significant setback because of this grand gesture.

Manager Wu also gave Chu Ge a series of deep bows: “Mr.

Chu, I’ve mishandled things before.

Rest assured, we will also provide you with a substantial gift that will satisfy you, and I will come in person to apologize later!”

This could be described as a dramatic change; witnessing the stark difference in their attitudes, Mu Bingtong, with her mouth slightly open, leaned closer to Chu Ge and asked: “Do…

do you really know Mr.

Ouyang?”

“Didn’t you see for yourself?” Chu Ge looked amusingly at the cautious Mu Bingtong and made a face towards Ouyang Yunbao: “Would he come over to greet me if I didn’t know him?”

“It makes no sense!” Mu Bingtong was somewhat frantic, her eyes wide as she spoke: “Your status…

is so vastly different from the Ouyang Family’s.

Even Chen Jun would have a hard time getting to know the direct members of the Ouyang Family, and yet you’ve directly connected with Mr.

Ouyang.

How did you do it?”

Looking at Mu Bingtong’s incredulous expression, Chu Ge smiled and said in a lowered voice, “I’m saying, I saved Mr.

Ouyang’s life; I’m his lifesaver.

Do you believe it?”

“Just blow your own trumpet!” As expected, Mu Bingtong rolled her eyes dismissively and said, “If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.

I can’t believe you’re giving me such an unreliable excuse.”

Chu Ge smiled helplessly, but he did not argue.

Meanwhile, Mr.

Ouyang had already negotiated the price with the two, and just by looking at the faces of Manager Wu and Chen Jun, who looked as if they were about to cry, it was clear that the compensation was not going to be light.

“Chu, in a few days they’ll send a generous gift to you.

Give me a call when it arrives to see if they’ve cut corners!” Mr.

Ouyang deliberately raised his voice after a glance at the duo.

Chen Jun and his companion were almost in tears.

With the Old Master personally addressing it, who would dare to skimp on the effort?

Unless they’re tired of living.

“It’s a trouble to you, Old Master!” Chu Ge nodded, without intending to follow up further.

After all, this was a banquet arranged especially for him; it wouldn’t be good to press too hard.

Mr.

Ouyang laughed heartily, patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, and said, “I’ve already arranged a banquet on the second floor; I was about to have Little Butterfly come down to call you, Mr.

Chu.

How about joining me upstairs right now?”

“Then I shall respectfully comply.” Chu Ge responded, winked at Mu Bingtong, and then followed Mr.

Ouyang upstairs.

“This guy!” Mu Bingtong couldn’t help but smile as Chu Ge walked away, not forgetting to pull a face at her.

No sooner had Chu Ge and Mr.

Ouyang left the banquet hall than it erupted into chaos.

“Holy shit, this kid really knows Mr.

Ouyang!” Someone exclaimed.

“Damn, knowing Mr.

Ouyang means he could practically walk sideways in Shanghai,” another person said with evident envy.

“This young man seems quite capable, we should make more connections with him in the future,” some were already planning to forge a good relationship with Chu Ge.

Only Chen Jun stood at the hotel entrance, his face clouded with gloom.

After such an incident, he really had no face left to continue attending the banquet.

Zhang Yanxia stood next to him, her face showing concern: “Mr.

Chen, do you think…”

“Hmph, don’t worry too much,” Chen Jun waved his hand, gritting his teeth, “Mr.

Ouyang personally spoke up; for now, let’s tolerate him this once.

Later on, I will make him spit out everything he’s taken, with interest!”

“Ah?” Zhang Yanxia’s face changed: “But that guy knows Mr.

Ouyang, right?”

Chen Jun shook his head with a vicious smile: “I figure it’s just this kid’s good luck to have casually become acquainted with Mr.

Ouyang.

Otherwise, with his utterly empty background, how could he possibly make connections with the Ouyang family?

So, it seems he’s not untouchable after all!”

He looked deeply at Mu Bingtong inside, then swept his gaze over the staircase leading upstairs: “Really think just because he knows the Old Master, he’ll be favored by the Ouyang family?

I guess Mr.

Ouyang is just momentarily taken with him.

After all, his last name is Chu, not Ouyang.”

“Mr.

Chen really has a brilliant insight!” Zhang Yanxia cheered up again: “So where are we going now?”

“Where the hell can we go?” Chen Jun thought of the huge amount of compensation, and his anger bubbled up instantly: “Damn it, it’s time to prepare the gift!”

Faced with Chen Jun’s sudden outburst, Zhang Yanxia dared not show any dissatisfaction, but her resentment towards Chu Ge deepened even more.
