Chapter 105
As Chu Tianhe’s words fell, nearly everyone’s gaze simultaneously fixed on Mu Sihai!
At that moment, Mu Sihai’s body trembled slightly, a nervous expression flashing across his face. He quickly spoke up, “Can—of course I can!”
“Tonight’s banquet is prepared specifically for Mr. Chu. If Mr. Chu cannot enter, then no one will!”
Mu Sihai’s declaration immediately stirred a tempest of emotions in everyone present.
What had once been looks of disdain and contempt transformed instantly into shock. All eyes shifted sharply, as if the camera lens cut directly to Chu Tianhe himself!
Who would have imagined that this banquet, hosted by the Mu family, was actually arranged specially for Chu Tianhe?
This man, dressed casually, holding his daughter, expression stern and unsmiling, living in the slums of Fengshun Community, was in fact an honored guest of the Mu family!
Witnessing the Mu family’s deep respect for Chu Tianhe was enough to overturn everyone’s preconceived notions. Now, with Mu Sihai explicitly stating that the banquet was dedicated to Chu Tianhe, the shock in everyone’s hearts multiplied exponentially!
“Senmao Group, is it?”
Right after Mu Sihai’s statement, Mu Xue’s gaze flashed like lightning toward Senmao Group’s chairman, Li Senmao, and the manager Zhang standing beside him.
At that moment, Li Senmao nearly broke down. He never expected that Chu Tianhe would be such a distinguished guest of the Mu family—it felt like he was walking straight into the line of fire.
“Miss Mu, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It’s due to my lax discipline over subordinates that the manager offended Mr. Chu. I apologize, I sincerely apologize!”
Li Senmao was no fool. Seeing the icy glare from Mu Xue, his heart trembled involuntarily. Without hesitation, he swiftly approached Chu Tianhe and made a deep ninety-degree bow, saying, “Mr. Chu, I am truly sorry. It was my failure to properly supervise my subordinates. Please forgive us and do not hold petty grudges against us common folk.”
“Lax discipline over subordinates?”
Chu Tianhe smiled faintly and said, “From what I know, Senmao Group’s system is quite strict. Didn’t you just fire Xiao Meng at noon?”
“Forgot so soon?”
Chu Tianhe’s words instantly drained the color from Li Senmao’s face. Almost instinctively, he looked toward Qin Xiaomeng and hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, Mr. Chu, you’ve misunderstood. I had no knowledge of this matter. It was Manager Zhang acting on his own. I… I will dismiss that insubordinate manager immediately. Please, Mr. Chu, calm down, calm down!”
Li Senmao’s regret was agonizing. Had he not fired Qin Xiaomeng, with Chu Tianhe’s connection to the Mu family, Senmao Group’s rise would have been unstoppable, soaring skyward!
Yet, such a golden opportunity had turned into a nightmare of his own making.
At this moment, Li Senmao’s regret pierced his heart like drops of blood. He wished he could strangle Manager Zhang on the spot.
“Is that so?”
Hearing Chu Tianhe’s words, Mu Xue raised her willow-shaped brows slightly, her eyes frosty as she fixed her gaze on Li Senmao and said, “You’re a chairman who doesn’t even know about the firing decisions made by your own general manager. What kind of chairman are you?”
“Sorry, truly sorry, Miss Mu, I...”
Hearing the seething anger in Mu Xue’s voice, Li Senmao broke out in nervous cold sweat and quickly turned to explain.
But Mu Xue didn’t even give him the chance to speak further. She cut in sharply, “You can leave. Our Mu family’s banquet does not welcome scum like you!”
The moment these words left her mouth, it struck Li Senmao’s heart like a thunderclap. Everyone present understood the devastating weight of Mu Xue’s rebuke!
