Although the middle-aged man spoke with great sincerity, expressing his regret, the listener felt a sense of satisfaction but couldn't help but want to say a few words.
"Since your attitude towards admitting your mistake is so good, I won’t say much more, especially in front of so many people. I’ll give you some face. However, you should understand that appearances can be deceiving. You never know what kind of friends someone has behind them. So, in the future, when you speak or act around others, you should be a bit more cautious. If you happen to anger someone you shouldn’t, and you think you can just make a joke about an inconspicuous person, the consequences could be very serious. As for what exactly will happen, let’s just keep it between us; no one else needs to know a word of it.
If you don’t follow my advice, then tomorrow you won’t be able to survive in this industry any longer. I’m someone who means what I say, so don’t take my words lightly. In front of all these people, I don’t need to raise my voice any louder. I’m just giving you a chance to save face. Otherwise, if you want to continue in this field, we might meet again someday, and it would help avoid some awkwardness."
After saying this, he prepared to leave. However, the middle-aged man felt a bit embarrassed. Just moments ago, he had been very angry, especially in front of everyone; he had been commanding and authoritative. Now, suddenly facing someone like the Young Master made him feel subservient.
Everyone had witnessed this shift because he had never treated anyone like this in public before. How would they perceive him now? Yet the situation forced him to lower his head; there was no way he could refuse to admit his mistake at this point.
If he didn’t acknowledge his error promptly, everything he had said would soon reach everyone’s ears. At that point, it would be even harder for him to survive in this industry.
Though today he appeared pitifully defeated, even if people discussed it later on, they would only see him as magnanimous. They would likely say he was someone who didn’t hold grudges against the small fry and was willing to admit fault. Thus, resolving the matter this way wouldn’t cost him anything; it might even earn him some goodwill.
Especially since many people enjoy sympathizing with the weak; they often don’t care about who is right or wrong but simply feel pity for those who seem vulnerable. Now he was playing the role of the weaker party and hoped that someone would record his recent humiliation as he headed toward marriage in Beigong. This way, he could hold something over them in the future.
After finishing his words, Xu Shen placed one hand on the table and surveyed the room carefully. Although he couldn’t remember every face in detail, at least he could get a general sense of who was there; this ensured that his visit wouldn’t be entirely in vain.
Finally, he pointed a finger at the middle-aged man in front of him and shot him a fierce look without saying anything more.
Seeing this gesture and expression made the middle-aged man understand Xu Shen's intent clearly. It seemed that from now on, he needed to be more cautious in this industry. After all, he was aware that others held power over him now; if he were to commit any egregious acts in the future, all his past misdeeds might come to light. Then he would have no chance of surviving in this field again.
He suddenly realized that although he had previously thrived in this industry with ease, there were now moments when he felt trapped and powerless. Nevertheless, he knew he had to find a way to survive well within it moving forward.
