Outside the Presidential Suite, there were no attendants left.
Mo Ming had no choice but to search the entire floor. He was really struggling with the urge to relieve himself. Upon seeing the words "Restroom," he quickly made his way toward it. Unexpectedly, as he turned a corner, he collided with a graceful figure. Mo Ming stood firm and didn’t budge, while the woman stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
The woman who had been knocked over by Mo Ming had a beautiful face, completely bare of makeup, yet exuding a natural charm. Dressed in the uniform of the Phoenix Grand Hotel, she radiated the aura of a mature woman, attracting attention from men wherever she went.
Feeling a bit embarrassed for bumping into such an attractive woman, Mo Ming politely extended his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you hurt?"
The woman looked somewhat annoyed; it was frustrating to be knocked over just trying to go to the restroom.
With a slight frown on her brow, she glanced up at Mo Ming with irritation. However, she still grabbed his hand and stood up.
Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Ming glanced at her name tag: Li Xiulan, Manager of Phoenix Grand Hotel.
"What are you staring at?" When Li Xiulan noticed Mo Ming's gaze lingering on her chest, she felt a surge of anger and asked, "Who are you? How did you get in here?"
"I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to ask my name so directly," Mo Ming replied with a smile. "Since a beautiful woman has asked me, as a normal man, I naturally want to get to know such an enchanting lady. Remember my name: Mo Ming."
"How ridiculous..." Li Xiulan began to say when Mo Ming excitedly interrupted, "Yes, that's right! My name is Mo Ming..."
"I meant you're being ridiculous!" Li Xiulan frowned slightly. Looking at Mo Ming, she thought he didn’t seem like someone who could enter the Phoenix Grand Hotel and asked, "How exactly did you get in here?"
"Get in?" Mo Ming chuckled. "I didn’t sneak in; I walked through the front door. It’s strange that you would ask that—can one fly in here?"
Mo Ming was indeed correct; as a high-end hotel in Nanhua City, the Phoenix Grand Hotel had a helicopter landing pad on its roof primarily for wealthy guests. However, Li Xiulan didn’t mean that.
"You really are funny. Who do you think you are? You think you can fly in here?" Li Xiulan looked at Mo Ming with disdain, crossing her arms and adopting an air of superiority. She sneered, "With your shabby appearance, you look like a beggar. Do you really think you belong in such an upscale hotel?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming's lips curled into a smirk, but he also felt a twinge of disgust towards Li Xiulan. Just moments ago, Mo Ming was not a fool; he simply didn't want to entertain such dirty thoughts about a woman. Now, Li Xiulan's words were quite clear, and if Mo Ming still didn't understand, he would truly be foolish.
"I’m just a pile of cheap goods, so what? Do you think the uniform you're wearing is high-end? Don’t be naive; your outfit might not even attract any buyers if you put it out there. Am I right?" Mo Ming retorted, "After all, who would be so bored as to spend money on a work uniform just to wear it?"
"You..." Li Xiulan was furious and pointed at Mo Ming, wanting to retaliate. However, Mo Ming didn’t give her the chance and pushed her away without any pity. Li Xiulan stumbled and crashed against the wall. Mo Ming didn’t even glance back as he rushed into the men's restroom.
Mo Ming wasn’t afraid of Li Xiulan; he was just really uncomfortable and urgently needed to relieve himself.
Once inside the restroom, Mo Ming casually found an empty urinal. Just as he unzipped his pants, Li Xiulan unexpectedly burst in like a madwoman, wanting to confront him.
"You bastard! How dare you push me? I won’t let this go! Are you even a man for laying hands on a woman?"
Seeing this, Mo Ming didn’t even bother zipping up his pants. He quickly dashed into an empty VIP stall and locked the door. Finally, he could safely address his urgent need. Outside, Li Xiulan was banging on the door and shouting.
"You bastard! Get out here right now! You owe me an apology, or you won’t leave this hotel safely! I’ll make sure your mother wouldn’t recognize you!"
"Come out!"
"What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful woman before?"
"Uh... This is the men's restroom, miss; you seem to have made a mistake."
"So what if it’s the men’s restroom? Is it that impressive? I’m here now; what are you going to do about it?"
Despite the storm raging outside, Mo Ming only felt light rain. After holding it in for so long, his urge finally subsided. He shuddered with relief, zipped up his pants, flushed the toilet, and then opened the door.
Li Xiulan was knocking rapidly. As soon as Mo Ming opened the door, she hadn’t reacted yet when her delicate hand struck against his seemingly frail but steel-like chest. She quickly withdrew her hand with a flushed face, recalling how Mo Ming had pushed her earlier, causing her anger to flare up again.
"I want you to apologize to me; otherwise, this isn’t over!"
"Apologize? I don't think I need to apologize to you. What happened just now was simply you tripping over yourself; it has nothing to do with me, got it?" Mo Ming shrugged and smiled, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!" With that, Mo Ming walked directly to the sink to wash his hands.
"Are you going to apologize or not?" Li Xiulan chased after him and asked.
"No apology."
Li Xiulan raised her eyebrows and splashed water from the faucet onto Mo Ming. He couldn't dodge in time, and the water soaked his clothes. However, Mo Ming wasn't angry; he turned around to face Li Xiulan and suddenly smiled. Then, he shook the water off his hands onto her face and said, "Well, it's tit for tat. No need to be polite; you can call me 'Living Lei Feng'!"
Not caring about how furious Li Xiulan looked, Mo Ming proudly walked out of the restroom. However, as soon as he exited, he was immediately grabbed by two security guards. Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated and said, "Hey guys, I just went to the restroom. Is this really necessary?"
"That's him!" Li Xiulan came out and stood in front of Mo Ming with a smile. "What did I say? If you anger me, you won't be able to leave this hotel. You two, hurry up and throw this beggar out! And remember, throw him out hard; if possible, kick him far away!"
As the manager of Phoenix Grand Hotel, Li Xiulan had some authority. The two security guards had no choice but to comply without asking any questions and directly dragged Mo Ming away.
In truth, Mo Ming had the ability to break free; he could easily handle these two guards who had only practiced martial arts for a short time. However, he wasn't in a hurry and thought this was quite nice—comfortable even. It was truly a first for him!
After a while without seeing Mo Ming return, Murong Wei decided to go look for him. Just as he stepped out of the Presidential Suite, he saw Mo Ming being escorted by two security guards. If it were before, it would have looked like a cult leader being carried by his followers, but now Murong Wei found it somewhat confusing.
"What’s going on here?" Murong Wei stopped them and asked.
The two security guards' expressions softened upon seeing Murong Wei. One of them spoke up, "This kid somehow snuck in and offended Manager Li in the restroom. So now Manager Li wants us to throw him out."
Mo Ming shrugged and grinned at Murong Wei, "Yep, Murong Old Man, that's exactly what happened."
The two security guards weren't very sharp; they didn't realize that the seemingly insignificant boy they were holding dared to call Murong Wei "Murong Old Man" right in front of him. In all of Nanhua City, very few people would dare address Murong Wei like that.
At that moment, Li Xiulan approached gracefully and immediately put on a smiling face when she saw Murong Wei. She respectfully said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murong; I didn't mean to disturb your meal. I'll take care of this unidentified person right away. Why are you all still standing there? Hurry up and take this brat away!"
"Wait!" Murong Wei raised his hand to stop her.
The two bodyguards moved slightly but immediately stopped again.
"Is there anything else you need, Mr. Murong?" Li Xiulan asked.
Murong Wei had an angry expression on his face. Seeing that Li Xiulan was a woman, he felt it inappropriate to hit her, so he decided to set an example by slapping the security guard who had just spoken. The force of the slap left a red mark on the guard's face. Murong Wei's hand also stung, and he quickly rubbed it while angrily saying, "You idiots, who told you to do this? Let me tell you, in terms of status, he is far above you. Who do you think you are to treat him like this? Let him go right now!"
The two security guards hurriedly released Mo Ming, feeling anxious inside. The guard who had been slapped didn't dare to breathe loudly and looked aggrieved, secretly blaming Li Xiulan. If it weren't for her instigation, he wouldn't have offended Murong Wei today.
As the manager of Feng Lai Hotel, Li Xiulan was also a shrewd woman. Murong Wei's actions were clearly meant to show her something. At this moment, she felt uneasy and somewhat regretted offending such a wealthy person. She never expected that the seemingly poor young man would have such significant connections; truly, one should not judge by appearances.
"I'm sorry... Mr. Murong, I didn't mean to offend this young master. I'm really sorry..."
Noticing the commotion outside, Murong Lian came out and was puzzled by the situation. Seeing Murong Wei's furious expression made it clear to her what was happening. She asked him, "Dad, what's going on? Why are you so angry? The doctor said your health isn't good and that you shouldn't get angry. You should calm down..."
Murong Lian glanced at Mo Ming, who merely pursed his lips and shrugged without saying anything. She then turned to the trembling Li Xiulan and asked, "Manager Li, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiulan kept bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend this young master, Miss Murong, I'm really sorry..."
At that moment, Li Xiulan was so frightened that she couldn't think of anything else to say and could only keep apologizing in hopes that Murong Wei would calm down and not make things difficult for her.
Despite being the manager of Feng Lai Hotel and appearing quite impressive, in the eyes of wealthy individuals like Murong Wei, she was nothing significant. He could easily replace her with a snap of his fingers; after all, Li Xiulan relied on her job to support her family. If she lost it, her whole family would suffer.
"Forget it, Dad. It's not entirely Manager Li's fault; just look at that male actor's appearance—it's normal for others to misunderstand..." Murong Lian tried to plead for Li Xiulan but found that Murong Wei wouldn't even give her face.
