Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 567 - 566: Tearing Off the Mask

"Why haven't you arranged a private room? This lobby is so noisy, and Teacher Nico and her colleagues have come from afar. It's hardly appropriate to have them sit in the lobby! Why not arrange for Teacher Nico and her colleagues to go to our private room, lest we neglect them?" Sun Wenjun feigned surprise, then pretended to speak kindly.

"Wenjun, you don't need to worry about that!" Even Lu Ming, who was usually easy-going, got angry at this and replied with an ugly expression, then ignored him and turned to Ge Dongxu and others, saying, "Let's go over."

"Exactly, why fuss about nothing? Teacher Nico and her colleagues have no complaints, so why are you making such a fuss? Are you trying to show off how capable you are, Sun Wenjun?" Lu Lei saw his father's displeased face and, coupled with Sun Wenjun's continuous boasting since they had met at the train station, could not help but speak out sarcastically.

"Lu Lei, what is that attitude? Wenjun is also well-meaning; you should apologize to him right now!" Director Li's face darkened immediately upon hearing this, and he scolded Lu Lei.

"Well-meaning? Director Li, do you think we are all fools here? Does his behavior look well-meaning to you? Isn't it just to show off and prove how great he is? If he is great, let him be great on his own; why involve us?" At that moment, Lu Lei, already angered, saw Director Li scolding him and, far from being intimidated, stiffened his neck and unabashedly exposed the truth.

"You..." Director Li did not expect Lu Lei to dare stand up to him and stared at him furiously, then turned to Lu Ming with an ugly face and coldly questioned, "Director Lu, is this how you teach your son? Won't you discipline him?"

"How I teach my son is none of your business, Li Zhengbei! Besides, don't you know what the deal is with the private room?" Lu Ming replied coldly.

Although Lu Ming had been demoted to the head of the Archives Bureau and should be keeping a low profile, he still had his dignity and bottom line!

"So, Lu Ming, it seems you don't want to keep your position as the head of the Archives Bureau any longer!" Director Li thought he had Lu Ming under control but was infuriated and embarrassed when Lu Ming publicly challenged him.

"Since when did you, Director Li, have the authority to manage even the position of the head of the Archives Bureau?" Lu Ming said with a sarcastic expression, not caring anymore since their relationship had already deteriorated.

"Director Li might not be able to manage it, but my dad can!" Sun Wenjun said proudly.

"Li Zhengbei, as your former superior, I give you this piece of advice—be careful with your words and actions when holding an office, especially in your position as office director," Lu Ming said solemnly to Li Zhengbei, completely ignoring Sun Wenjun, then turned to Teacher Nico and others, smiling, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for the scene. Please."

"Mr. Lu is too polite. We actually also dislike such people!" Nico replied with a smile, her eyes filled with exotic disdain as she briefly glanced at Li Zhengbei and Sun Wenjun.

Lu Ming's disregard for Sun Wenjun and his words to Li Zhengbei had already infuriated Li Zhengbei and Sun Wenjun. When the striking foreign teacher added her comment, both Li Zhengbei and Sun Wenjun's faces flushed alternately with green and red, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Zheng Yun and Li Wenxuan also felt uneasy, their cheeks somewhat flushed.

After all, they were environmental chemistry majors just like Lu Lei, and Sun Wenjun's actions made them feel that he had gone too far.

"Nico, you spoke well," Ge Dongxu nodded in agreement, his gaze sweeping over Li Zhengbei and the others with disgust.

No matter how much Sun Wenjun had caused trouble previously, Ge Dongxu had always overlooked it for the sake of being classmates, but since Lu Ming was Sun Wenjun's elder and Sun Wenjun had just arrogantly claimed his father could manage things, Ge Dongxu was finally provoked and could not help but echo the sentiment.

"Very well, Lu Ming, we'll see about that!" Li Zhengbei said, his face ashen, as he watched Lu Ming walk away with Ge Dongxu and the others, before he and his group headed to the private room.

"Old Lu, it won't be a problem, right?" After they sat down in the lobby, Cai Xiaofen asked in a worried whisper.

"Dad, did I cause you trouble just now?" Seeing his mother's worried expression, Lu Lei's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Lu Ming with a guilty expression.

"Having you say that, I'm very relieved. As for the trouble, what trouble could there be? I've been transferred from the director of the county government office to the Archives Bureau, what more can they do to me? Alright, let's not talk about this; everyone came to Golden Mountain County to have a good time, so let's not let this affect our mood," Lu Ming said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaofen hesitated, but finally managed a slight smile and said, "Right, right, let's not worry about that stuff."

Following that, Lu Ming ordered some local specialty dishes.

Lu Ming was quite knowledgeable about the culture and history of Golden Mountain County. He could relate an anecdote for every dish that was served, which intrigued Nico and the others, making the meal even more enjoyable.

The dinner went by with laughter and chit-chat, and soon it was nine o'clock.

Fearing that Nico and the others might be exhausted from climbing the mountains all day, Lu Ming saw it was time to end the dinner and led everyone to the Golden Mountain Hotel, not far from where they were staying.

The Golden Mountain Hotel is the best hotel in Golden Mountain County, comparable to Changxi Grand Hotel.

Lu Ming arranged for everyone's accommodation. Initially, he told the front desk that he would pay the bill, but Nico and the others firmly refused, so Lu Ming had to go along with their decision.

"Lu Lei, you should stay here with your classmates and teachers tonight, and if anything happens, call dad immediately," Lu Ming instructed his son, then smiled, wished Nico and the others good night, and left the Golden Mountain Hotel with his wife.

"Damn, just thinking about Sun Wenjun's face makes me want to slap him. We're all classmates; what was that all about!" He Guizhong couldn't help but curse as soon as he got back to the room.

"Exactly, and that Li Zhengbei too. Listening to Uncle Lu, he was under him before, and now that he's climbed up, he acts so high and mighty, the jerk," Li Chenyu joined in the rant.

"It's a pity we're not in Dongyue Province; if we were, I'd definitely find someone to take care of them!" Lv Chongliang added.

"People like that will never make it big, no point in getting angry with them. Who knows, maybe in a little while Uncle Lu will get promoted, and then they'll be the ones looking foolish," Ge Dongxu said noncommittally.

"Promoted? Haha, with the current situation, what chances does my dad have of getting promoted!" Lu Lei said with a bitter smile.

"Who can say for sure in the world of politics? Just like Sun Wenjun's father, wasn't he under your dad before, and now hasn't he become the Secretary-General of the city government?" Ge Dongxu said.
