Chapter 22: An Accident at Wangjiang Pavilion, Special Mission Reward

"My God, this invitation was sent by that big shot. It's unbelievable," Manager Zhao muttered, still in shock after reading the name on the invitation.

"Please give this to your boss," said the man in sunglasses before leaving.

As Manager Zhao was about to call the boss to deliver the news, a waiter rushed over, looking frantic.

"Oh no, Manager Zhao! Something's happened in Room 7!" the waiter reported in a panic.

"What? What happened?" Manager Zhao asked, alarmed.

"The guests in Room 7 are complaining that today's dishes aren't as good as before. They're accusing us of targeting them and seem like they're about to start smashing things," the waiter explained anxiously.

"What?"

Manager Zhao frowned.

"Honestly, Manager Zhao, I don't think those two came here to eat. It feels like they came here to cause trouble," the waiter whispered.

"To cause trouble, huh? Let's go check it out."

Under the waiter's guidance, Manager Zhao headed toward Room 7.

Inside the private room sat two thin middle-aged men, flanked by four or five burly bodyguards who seemed to be with them.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, is there a problem?" Manager Zhao asked, smiling as he entered.

"Your dishes today are not as good as the last time we were here. Do you think we're easy to mess with, serving us bad food on purpose?" one of the middle-aged men accused.

"That's right! Get your boss here to explain, or we'll smash up your place!" the other man threatened.

Manager Zhao was baffled by their claims. They had used the same chef as always, so how could there be any difference in the food?

"Gentlemen, it seems we've failed to meet your expectations today. How about this—your meal will be on the house," Manager Zhao offered.

"No! Do we look like we care about that little bit of money?"

"Exactly! We want your boss here now. If he doesn't show up, we'll wreck this place!" they shouted.

Left with no other option, Manager Zhao walked out, more certain than ever that these men were deliberately causing trouble to meet his boss.

He immediately called Chen Fan to report the situation.

"Causing trouble?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

Just then, the system's voice chimed in.

[Ding!]

[Task Released: Go to Wangjiang Pavilion and find out what those two middle-aged men are up to.]

[Task Reward: A custom Rolls-Royce Phantom]

[Task Reward: 47 experience points]

"Huh?"

Chen Fan was pleasantly surprised by the task. He had been thinking about getting a new luxury business car for a while. His garage was too empty, with only a Lamborghini parked there, which wasn't practical for more than two people.

Unexpectedly, the system reward was a private custom Rolls-Royce Phantom, which was far more valuable than the regular model. Sometimes, even having the money couldn't secure such a customized luxury car.

"Alright, I'll head over and take care of it."

Chen Fan had just finished class and was about to go to Yongjia Shopping Center, but now he decided to detour to Wangjiang Pavilion first.

Half an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at the restaurant. Anticipating trouble, he quickly gathered over 20 security personnel from the restaurant.

A few minutes later, Chen Fan and his group approached Room 7. Before entering, they heard the two middle-aged men shouting from inside.

"Where's your boss? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"That's right! Believe me, I'll smash your store if he doesn't come!"

Their bodyguards looked eager to start breaking things, but before they could act, a commanding voice rang out.

"Smash my store? I'd like to see who dares!"

The next moment, the two middle-aged men were stunned as Chen Fan entered the room, flanked by over 20 security personnel.

Seeing this, the bodyguards immediately lowered their heads. Despite their size, they knew they were outnumbered and had no choice but to back down.

"Who are you?" one of the middle-aged men asked, confused.

"Me?" Chen Fan replied slowly. "I'm the owner of Wangjiang Pavilion."

"You? The boss? Are you kidding?" The men were in disbelief.

How could this young guy, who didn't even look 20, possibly be the boss of such a prestigious place?

"This is our boss, Mr. Chen," Manager Zhao confirmed, stepping forward.

The two middle-aged men were left speechless, staring at Chen Fan in shock. He really was the new owner of Wangjiang Pavilion—at such a young age.

"So what if you're the boss? We didn't enjoy our meal today. If you don't give us a proper explanation, you'll be in serious trouble," one of the middle-aged men barked.

"Yeah, we'll make sure everyone knows about Wangjiang Pavilion's bad service. Your reputation will be ruined," the other man added, trying to sound threatening.

Reputation was crucial for a restaurant, but before Chen Fan could respond, Manager Zhao came rushing in.

"Sorry, boss, I didn't know you had arrived. This is the invitation I mentioned earlier," Manager Zhao said, handing it over.

"An invitation? From whom?" Chen Fan asked.

"It's from Wei Jingxiong, Boss Wei," Manager Zhao replied.

"Wei Jingxiong?!"

Upon hearing that name, the tall middle-aged man who had been shouting immediately fell silent.

Wei Jingxiong was one of the most influential figures in Jiangzhou. He owned a large security company and had stakes in many entertainment venues throughout the city. He was the type of person whose mere presence caused the ground to tremble.

No one in their right mind would dare cross him.

"Oh, Wei Jingxiong? Why would he send me an invitation?" Chen Fan was even more surprised. He had heard of Wei Jingxiong but didn't know him personally.

"Boss Wei has invited you to his house for tea tomorrow," Manager Zhao explained.

What?!

Wei Jingxiong had personally invited Chen Fan to his home for tea?

The two middle-aged men who had come looking for trouble turned pale. Wei Jingxiong was a giant in Jiangzhou, and if he invited someone personally, that person's status had to be close to his own.

Terrified, the two men glanced at Chen Fan. Their legs were shaking.

"Alright, I got it," Chen Fan said, nodding as he accepted the invitation.

Turning to face the two men, Chen Fan's gaze sharpened.

In an instant, they fell to their knees, revealing the mastermind behind their scheme!
