Chapter 36 - Come on. Why Is There No Mobile Reception Here?!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the private room of Di Hao Clubhouse.

The few of the most prominent figures in the Lin City were gathered here for a meal. However, the atmosphere was neither lively nor joyous.

There was pin-drop silence in the large private room that was more than 100 square meters large.

Even the waiting staff serving the dishes was moving stealthily, for fear of provoking the man seated at the seat of honor.

The man was dressed in a brown army uniform. With his broad shoulders and slim waist, the row of dark-patterned gold buttons brought out a certain nobility and elegance. At this moment, he was lowering his head and staring at his cell phone. That handsome face that could make anyone go crazy looked a little gloomy. A chilling aura that was as cold as the winter in Siberia surrounded him.

Chi Enen actually dared to ignore his phone call!

Li Beijue’s right hand knocked on the table and he glanced at his cell phone from time to time. The dishes were about to be served but there was no news from the cell phone. Suddenly, he knitted his brows tightly and lifted his phone. He very much wanted to crush it but he paused halfway in the act. Slowly, he retracted his hands, pursed his lips and messaged the only contact in the phone.

Have you gone home?

One minute passed.

Five minutes passed.

15 minutes passed but there was still no reaction from the cell phone. He stood up abruptly, his hawk-like eyes filled with viciousness. “Where is the manager? Come over here!”

The manager of the clubhouse rushed over upon hearing the news. After wiping the sweat on his forehead, he asked cautiously, “Boss Jue, do you have any instruction?”

“What’s the matter? There is no mobile reception here at all!”

No reception? The clubhouse was set up with the most advanced mobile signal boosters in the world. The private room was the place with the best reception. How could there be no reception?

The manager then saw the cell phone in Li Beijue’s hands and was momentarily stunned. He then checked the reception of his own cell phone. It was strange. “The signal bars are full.”

“Impossible!’ Li Beijue denied firmly, his hawk-like eyes looking fierce. “If the signal bars are full, why can’t I receive any messages! There must be something wrong with the reception!”

It was impossible that that woman would not reply to him!

Since he stubbornly insisted that he did not receive the message because of the poor reception, the manager had no choice but to test the surrounding mobile signals and also checked with others on whether their cell phones were working. Everyone told him that their phones were working and the signal bars were full. Hence, he returned to private room. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he told Li Beijue, “Boss Jue, the signal bars are full. Take a look.”

“There’s nothing to see. Scram!” He was full of gunpowder!

The manager took a glance at him and, as per Li Beijue’s wish, closed the doors of the private room when he left.

Sensing the freezing atmosphere, the mayor of Lin City summoned the courage to stand up and say smilingly. “What happened? Boss Jue needs to use the cell phone urgently? Why don’t you use mine?”

Li Beijue returned to his seat and said coldly, “No need.”

Coincidentally, Si Chen was also at the meal. Looking at his good friend’s pale face, he guessed that it must be something to do with Chi Enen.

It seemed that Chi Enen did not reply to his message.

Hadn’t they just cohabited yesterday? They were already having conflicts today?

Ah, this was interesting.

His sly eyes seemed to have discovered something interesting. He raised his glass of red wine gracefully and smiled, revealing a faint dimple on his left cheek. Trying to ease the atmosphere, he said, “I heard that the mayor did well in assessing the performance this time. Come, let me give you a toast.”

“You’re too polite.”

The mayor of Lin City heaved a sigh of relief. Having been given an out, he did not dare to provoke Li Beijue again. He began to liven up the atmosphere at the table. He was humorous and interesting. Coupled with his status and position, everyone was willing to give him face. After a while, the atmosphere in the private room became lively and bustling.
