h4Chapter 398: Chapter 398: The Mysterious Behind-The-Scenes Boss/h4

Xiao Zhen was dissatisfied with Manager Chen’s handling and frowned, "I don’t want just an exclusive gym. If Manager Chen can’t make it happen, I’ll have to call your boss directly."

The true identity of the mysterious owner behind the Wells club had always been unknown. Judging by Xiao Zhen’s tone, it seemed he had a connection with the owner.

This put Manager Chen in a tight spot.

Offending Xiao Zhen, who appeared to know the mysterious boss, might cost him his position as manager.

Manager Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and turned to Ji Wei and Xia Duoduo. "Ladies, Wells has a branch on the next block. I can arrange for someone to escort you there—"

Before Manager Chen could finish his sentence, Ji Wei interrupted sharply, "Is Manager Chen trying to get rid of us?"

A cold smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. Calmly, she pulled out a card from her wallet and waved it in her hand. "Am I qualified to stay now?"

The dazzling golden surface of the card momentarily blinded everyone.

The onlookers were stunned, their eyes glued to the scene, as voices burst into murmurs of amazement.

"My gosh, I never thought I’d witness someone actually taking out a golden card in my life. This must be what they call a top-tier tycoon!"

"I knew thisdy wasn’t ordinary. She looks so familiar. Who is she?"

"I... I think I recognize her! She’s the eldest daughter of the Ji Family—Ji Wei! There were reports, weren’t there? Saying she secretly got married to Mr. Gu!"

"Oh heavens, and Xiao Zhen dared to offend Mr. Gu’s woman. He’s just stepped on andmine, what now, what now?"

...

The hushed buzz of the crowd filtered into Xiao Zhen and the influencer’s ears, draining the colors from their faces until they turned deathly pale.

Manager Chen, who seconds ago had looked down on Ji Wei, was now trembling and fumbling for words, hastily stretching out his hand to respectfully take Ji Wei’s golden card.

But before his hand could even touch it, Ji Wei retracted the card and ced it back into her wallet.

"Without me pulling out a golden card, is Wells refusing to act fairly? Conducting business in this way, you’ll lose customers fast—especially ones that spend tens of millions a year."

Ji Wei’s tone was cold and mocking, her gaze sweeping over Manager Chen’s panicked face. An invisible pressure emanated from her, leaving Manager Chen gasping for air.

"Well said!"

p, p, p—

Apanied by crisp apuse, a warm yetmanding voice suddenly rang out from beyond the crowd.

Everyone turned back in shock to see a man in a navy suit standing there, though no one saw when he’d arrived.

The man was tall and slender, his deep blue suit exuding a sense of refined elegance. A gentle, understated smile yed at his lips, as if he had walked straight out of a Korean drama.

Although he appeared to be a warm and approachable person, his deep brown eyes carried a certainmanding aura that made no one dare underestimate him.

Curiosity rippled through the crowd.

Who was this person? How had he never appeared in any of Rongcheng’s media before?

But Manager Chen, upon spotting the bespectacled secretary standing beside the man, nearly copsed in shock.

He’d seen this secretary before—at Wells’ headquarters. That day, the mysterious owner of Wells had entered the exclusive elevator, and while Manager Chen hadn’t caught a glimpse of the owner’s face, the secretary who followed him was unforgettable.

Could this man be... the elusive owner of Wells?

Boom—

It felt as though Manager Chen’s head had exploded.

If the boss had trulye in person, and witnessed what had just happened... wouldn’t Manager Chen be fired on the spot?

If it weren’t for someone supporting him, Manager Chen might have copsed to the floor, unable to pick himself back up.

The man in the navy suit had been watching Ji Wei the entire time, a flicker of unguarded joy flitting through his deep brown eyes at the sight of her.

A warm smile lingered on his face as he slowly walked toward her.fn11fb ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? FιndNovel/fn11fb
