1678 They Have Someone Backing Them Up, Face Slap
He was holding the c.o.c.ktail he got from the waiter. He held the end of the gla.s.s and casually swirled it as he talked to someone.
Suddenly, he noticed Nie Mi and the others enter from the corner of his eye.
His expression suddenly turned cold. After barely chatting with the person who came over to strike up a conversation, he instructed someone to call the organizer of the c.o.c.ktail party.
“President.”
!!Torre grunted in displeasure and stuck out his chin. He was impeccably dressed and his eyes hid his fierceness. “What’s going on? Didn’t I say not to let them in?”
Although the Qi family was useless, they were still a member of their Chamber of Commerce Alliance. But they were actually bullied by a research team from Qing University in the illegal zone.
This time, the research team even came to the Independent Continent.
Of course, he was not standing up for the Qi family. He was standing up for their Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
Today’s banquet was ordinary. It didn’t involve the few flouris.h.i.+ng forces of the Independent Continent. As the president, he still had some face. Therefore, Torre was impolite and deliberately got someone to block the people from Qing University’s scientific research team from entering.
His original intention was for other people to see Nie Mi and the others as a joke and to know that their Chamber of Commerce Alliance was not to be trifled with.
Unexpectedly, everyone came in so quickly.
Wasn’t this a slap to his face?
Therefore, Torre’s words were very impolite. He was unable to suppress his anger. “What do you mean?! You’re not giving me face?”
Paradise Hotel had a strong background in the Independent Continent.
The person in charge smiled slightly. He looked respectful, but in fact, he was not sincere. He said, neither servile nor overbearing, “President Torre, of course, I’m not disrespecting you. It’s just that they have someone backing them up. Aren’t I in a difficult position too? Don’t make things difficult for me anymore!”
“You say they have someone backing them up?” Torre hesitated, but he was still unhappy.
Who was so disrespectful to him?
The person in charge still had that respectful expression and was all smiles. “Yes, Mr. Nie and the others know the diamond big shot in the illegal zone, Q. The people from Q personally contacted me and asked us to let them in.”
Torre looked surprised. “Q? You mean that Q?”
Q was inextricably linked to the Red Alliance and Tian Chen. Q wasn’t afraid of him even with his power in the Independent Continent!
“Yes, you also know that the Ji family invited Q to the banquet this time. Although that person isn’t sure if he will show his face, at least the other party is someone the Ji family wants to rope in. Since he has asked me, how can I refuse?”
The person in charge smiled harmlessly. “So, President Torre, don’t be too calculative with Mr. Nie and the others. Harmony makes money!”
“But how do they know Q?” The middle-aged man still had doubts, but his expression showed that he was very afraid of Q and the Ji family.
Still, he couldn’t take this lying down. “They touched my people and made such a scene. If I forget about it this time, then where will our Chamber of Commerce Alliance put our face!”
“Didn’t you block them outside for so long just now? Mr. Nie and the others were already in a sorry state.” The person in charge knew how to find a way out for him. “President Torre, why don’t you forget about it for my sake! I’ll treat you to a meal later and ask Mr. Nie and the others to apologize to you.”
“Hmph.” Torre snorted coldly, and his expression finally relaxed. “Forget about apologizing. I don’t want to accept their apology!
“A bunch of country b.u.mpkins. I can’t be bothered with them. Let’s talk about it later!”
