86: Chapter 86 Blacklist

"Yao Yao!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi walked over quickly and pulled Chen Yao away from Shen Dequan's embrace.

Chen Yao was tipsy, her delicate face flushed with a rosy hue, adding a touch of soul-stirring allure that was even more pronounced than usual.

Chen Yao lazily lifted her eyelids, and upon seeing that familiar face before her, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned listlessly against Lin Yi's shoulder and spoke in a slurred, indistinct voice.

"Lin... Lin Yi..."

"Take me... take me home..."

After saying this, she closed her eyes, looking uncomfortable and nauseous.

Seeing the beauty in his arms being snatched away, Shen Dequan immediately looked displeased.

"Who are you?"

"What business is it of yours to meddle here!"

Lin Yi's gaze turned cold.

"I am her friend."

"I can take her home."

Shen Dequan became anxious.

"Who do you think you are!"

"I already agreed with Little Chen just now that I would be the one to take her!"

"I advise you not to..."

Seeing that Shen Dequan was about to fly into a rage, Song Fangming hurriedly stepped forward to take over the conversation.

"Young man, forgive me, but I cannot hand her over to you."

"You say you are her friend, but how can you prove it?"

"She came to dinner with us, so it is only natural that we take her home."

"How could we possibly trust an outsider like you!"

Seeing that Chen Yao was almost passed out and certainly had no energy to say anything, Song Fangming felt justified and confident.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Shuangshuang and Manager Yang rushed over.

"President Shen?"

"You..."

Shen Dequan was considered a regular customer at Ziyun Building, so Manager Yang naturally recognized him.

Moreover, this Shen Dequan was notoriously lecherous.

He would often privately ask the dancers at Ziyun Building if they were willing to spend a night with him.

Of course, Ziyun Building had regulations, and such behavior was strictly prohibited.

These dancers were also very disciplined.

No one was willing to give up such a well-paying job just for some quick cash.

After all, everyone knew the difference between one full meal and being fed for a lifetime.

Observing the situation, Manager Yang pondered for a moment and understood; it seemed that the young woman in Lin Yi's arms was Shen Dequan's prey for the night.

Seeing Manager Yang approach, Shen Dequan stood a little taller.

"Manager Yang, you've come at the right time."

"I don't know where this brat popped out from, but he insists on snatching my..."

Seeing that Shen Dequan was about to speak without restraint again, Song Fangming hurriedly interrupted.

"Manager Yang, right!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"I am Song Fangming, the director of Xinghui Law Firm. This is my business card."

"This young lady is my employee. She drank a bit too much during dinner, and I was planning to trouble President Shen to take her home."

"But this stranger suddenly came over and insisted that he knows my employee."

"What do you think about this..."

Song Fangming thought to himself that he had already made his position clear.

He had clarified his superior-subordinate relationship with Chen Yao, and Shen Dequan was a regular customer of Ziyun Building.

Reasonably and logically, Manager Yang should side with them!

And the young man in front of them looked completely ordinary.

Apart from being a bit handsome, there was nothing special about him.

He must have used someone else's connection to get in for dinner.

If Manager Yang spoke up in a moment, this young man surely wouldn't dare to say anything.

After hearing this, Manager Yang walked respectfully to Lin Yi's side.

"President Lin, how would you like to handle this?"

Shen Dequan was unhappy when he saw this scene.

He pointed at Manager Yang, spitting as he spoke.

"Manager Yang, what is the meaning of this!"

"I have already explained the ins and outs of the matter to you very clearly!"

"Don't forget how much money I have spent in your establishment over time!"

"If you don't give me a satisfactory result today, I will never come back!"

Manager Yang ignored him and quietly waited for Lin Yi to speak.

Lin Yi sneered.

"Fine, if you don't want to come, then don't come ever again."

"Blacklist him. From now on, he is not allowed to spend money at Ziyun Building!"

Ziyun Building operated on a membership basis; if one lost their membership status, they would no longer be qualified to dine there.

Hearing that Lin Yi wanted to blacklist him, Shen Dequan laughed while clutching his stomach, as if he had heard a hilarious joke.

"Hahaha, Old Song, did you hear that? It's killing me."

"I didn't expect there to be such a brazen person."

"Do you think he drank himself stupid?"

"Asking Ziyun Building to blacklist me?"

"Who does he think he is!"

Lin Yi didn't speak, but gave Manager Yang a look.

Manager Yang understood immediately and stepped forward to block Shen Dequan.

"You must have heard what our boss just said."

"Mr. Shen, you are no longer allowed to dine at our Ziyun Building."

"Please leave as soon as possible, or I will call security."

In her words, Manager Yang's address for Shen Dequan had already changed.

Just a moment ago it was President Shen, but now it had become Mr. Shen.

The implication was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dequan's drunken haze dissipated a little.

"Boss?"

"He... he is the boss of Ziyun Building?"

Everyone doing business in Nanling City knew what kind of existence Ziyun Building was.

And the boss of Ziyun Building was even more mysterious.

Rumor had it that he was a mysterious person with immense financial resources.

Ziyun Building was merely one of his ordinary assets.

To think... this mysterious person was actually the young man right in front of him!

This... how is this possible!

Shen Dequan looked astonished and incredulous.

It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that he dared not believe it.

"Gentlemen, do you need me to find someone to escort you out?"

Manager Yang looked at the two stunned men, her tone becoming more severe.

Song Fangming was the first to react and hurriedly pulled Shen Dequan into the car, but secretly, he began to plot about Lin Yi.

Shen Dequan was a client, but wouldn't the big boss of Ziyun Building also be a potential high-quality client!

Moreover, looking at Lin Yi, he seemed to be very familiar with Chen Yao.

Isn't that just perfect!

Through Chen Yao, perhaps their law firm could become the long-term legal advisor for Ziyun Building.

While inwardly pleased, Song Fangming still had to feign consolation for Shen Dequan.

"President Shen, forget it, don't be angry."

"Today's matter is my fault; I didn't arrange things properly."

"Next time, next time I will find a way to make it up to you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Dequan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, but he was still relentless in his words.

"Sigh, Old Song, I didn't take the matter with Little Chen to heart."

"It's mainly because Ziyun Building is bullying people too much!"

"They actually turned their backs on me just like that!"

"I even spent millions to get a membership earlier."

"Actually, their place is just so-so."

"I don't even care to come."

"Being blacklisted is fine; I'll just consider the membership fee as money given to beggars!"

Song Fangming rolled his eyes inwardly, but continued to smile and agree with him.

"Exactly, we won't come anymore!"

"There are plenty of other unique restaurants in Nanjing!"

"We'll go to a different one next time!"

...

On the other side, watching Chen Yao passed out in Lin Yi's arms, Ye Shuangshuang pouted sourly.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular with women."

Lin Yi awkwardly scratched the back of his head and gave a sheepish smile.

"Hehe, it's alright... who told me to be so handsome..."
