A middle-aged man said: "Second Miss, we didn't speak for anyone, we just stood up spontaneously out of righteous indignation. Although it is difficult to determine who is who, but at least it is a fact that Zhou Lin was injured, and Xia Chen was unscathed. Who is it?"
It’s clear who you’re provoking.”
Another man with scars was also dissatisfied and said: "Second Miss, no matter what, we are all old people of the Li family after all. It is unjustifiable that Xia Chen injured Zhou Lin just after he came here."
"I remember that the Li family has always treated people based on their cultivation and contribution. Xia Chen has only been here for a day, but what contribution he can make has made the second lady look at him so differently. We old people are not taken seriously." A middle-aged woman said coldly.
road.
"That's right, this is unfair to us, we have to leave the Li family!"
"Either punish Xia Chen severely, or we leave the Li family!"
All the diners shouted again.
Zhou Lin smiled proudly and said in a long voice: "Second Miss, you have seen it, right? What does it mean to be fair and at ease in people's hearts? This is it!"
Li Qitong never expected that everyone would speak out against Xia Chen. She couldn't help but feel anxious and angry, and said, "Zhou Lin, what do you want?"
"What do I want?" Zhou Lin sneered, "It's very simple. As long as the second lady asks you, the retainer, to kneel down and apologize to us, and then expel him from the Li family, we won't leave."
"You!" Li Qitong was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Also, we have been treated unfairly in the Li family." Zhou Lin continued, "The eldest lady just wanted to give us another task. I requested that our salary be doubled, otherwise we will never agree."
"Yes, we must give us a salary increase!" All the customers' eyes lit up and they immediately agreed.
"Our Li family has always given the highest treatment to its guests among the four major families. You took the opportunity to blackmail us, which is too much." Li Qitong said. Looking at Li Yatong who was standing aside and watching coldly, "Sister, why don't you come out and say something."
"I have nothing to say." Li Yatong looked straight and said calmly, "Why do you need me to deal with the aftermath of the incident caused by your disciples? Haven't you been protecting him? Then you should find a way to appease them."
"Sister!" Li Qitong never expected that Li Yatong would sit back and ignore her, and her face turned red.
"Qitong, it's okay, let me take care of it." Xia Chen suddenly smiled gently, patted Li Qitong on the shoulder, and pulled her behind him.
"Xiao Chenzi, no matter what, I will protect you. Who wants to drive you away? It's not that easy." Li Qitong said angrily.
Xia Chen felt warm in his heart, smiled at her, and then stepped forward and bowed his hands slightly to all the guests: "This is my first time coming to Li's house. I don't know the rules. If I have offended any of my friends, please forgive me."
"Stop talking nonsense, kneel down, admit your mistake, slap yourself, and get out of the Li family. We won't care about you anymore, and we don't need your hypocritical politeness." Zhou Lin immediately said sharply.
The other diners also looked at Xia Chen coldly, and no one said anything.
Xia Chen, let's see how you end up! If you can't deal with these people, just get out of the Li family in despair. Li Yatong's eyes flashed with coldness.
Xia Chen's cold contempt yesterday still made her feel humiliated like a lump in her throat, and she couldn't even sleep peacefully.
A faint smile appeared on Xia Chen's face, as if he didn't mind the cold looks from everyone. He ignored Zhou Lin and walked straight to the middle-aged man who just spoke.
"Dear friends, in fact, the second young lady cares about you very much. Yesterday, she told me to have a good relationship with everyone and never be arrogant and put myself above everyone. Moreover, the second young lady is kind-hearted. I have seen you all these days.
There are more tasks, so I must be very tired and feel uneasy. In fact, I specially asked me to reward everyone for your hard work." Xia Chen said with a gentle smile.
As he spoke, he extended his hand to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man snorted with disdain and was about to refuse coldly.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes widened and he looked straight at Xia Chen's palm. On it, there was a brilliant ingot of gold!
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's breathing quickened, and he looked at Xia Chen with his mouth wide open, his cold expression turning into one of greedy surprise.
"Please accept it, this is the reward from the second lady." Xia Chen smiled lightly and put the gold ingot into the middle-aged man's hand.
"Many... many thanks to the Second Miss for the reward. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Second Miss, no matter what!" Under the excitement, the middle-aged man's voice became awkward, and the shining light from the gold illuminated his face.
Everything shines golden.
One ingot of gold is almost equivalent to one year's salary in the Xia family.
Everyone's eyes turned green instantly. Seeing Jin Zi's saliva flowed involuntarily, their cold expressions were instantly forgotten.
"Everyone, please smile and support the second lady." Xia Chen put the gold in his hands into everyone's hands one by one with a faint smile.
No one refused. These disciples were all the most ordinary cultivators. They had even given up on cultivation long ago, just to earn gold and silver. Otherwise, they would not work as thugs in the cultivating family. With Xia Chen's powerful money
In the face of the offensive, everyone naturally bowed.
In the blink of an eye, every customer except Zhou Lin had gold given by Xia Chen.
The cold attitudes of the diners also disappeared without a trace. Not only were they more affectionate towards Xia Chen, some were even a bit flattering.
"Brother Xia, please don't pay attention to my attitude just now. I just didn't know and was deceived by others. Only now do I know the truth. A young hero like you, under the leadership of the second lady, will definitely
You have great achievements, but you must not leave the Li family. I still have to do something under the leadership of you and the second lady, haha."
"Xia Chen, the second lady is so kind to our customers. I'm so grateful that I don't know what to say. Don't worry, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to me. I will definitely be furious and will never leave you without a word of refusal."
"Xia Chen, thank you, Miss Second, for being so considerate to you. You don't have to say anything. In one sentence, I will go through fire and water for Miss Second, no matter what."
Everyone said excitedly, completely ignoring the fact that they were about to leave indignantly just a moment ago, and even their faces did not seem to change so quickly.
Xia Chen smiled slightly and looked at Li Qitong, who was full of surprise and even a little overwhelmed: "Second Miss, look, no one is leaving. Isn't this great?"
Zhou Lin's face turned livid. He never expected that the alliance he had painstakingly organized would collapse in a matter of seconds under Xia Chen's powerful money offensive.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "You treacherous guys, have you been bribed like this? Yesterday you told me that we would advance and retreat together, and now you are ready to rebel?"
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Zhou Lin, you can't say that. What does bribery mean? Brother Xia Chen just said that this is the second lady's intention to show sympathy for our customers! If you talk about bribery, what did you mean yesterday?
Giving us money and allowing us to be like this is not bribery? Of course, I will return your benefits to you! I will not collude with people like you."
"You!" Zhou Lin never expected that this middle-aged man would reveal the story of his bribery in public, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
"Zhou Lin, you deliberately provoked Xia Chen yesterday and ended up humiliating yourself. Then you wanted to bribe us and threaten the Li family. How do you feel about it!" The scarred man said coldly, not to be outdone.
"Zhou Lin, you still have evil thoughts. You often lust after the second lady behind your back. Do you think we don't know your dirty thoughts? You are so shameless." The middle-aged woman added insult to injury and directly ruined Zhou Lin's reputation.
Reveal it.
The other disciples also immediately changed their positions and agreed one after another. In the blink of an eye, an inciting farce turned into a conference to expose Zhou Lin's crimes.
"Zhou Lin, I didn't expect you to be so despicable and instigate other disciples to threaten our Li family. Our Li family dare not raise a person like you. You can leave!" Li Qitong lowered her face and said, her appearance looking a little dignified.
Zhou Lin's face turned blue and red for a while, and he almost found a crack in the ground to crawl in. He didn't want to leave the Li family at all, but at this moment, how could he beg to stay with a calm face?
Suddenly, when he saw Li Yatong, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Miss, I have worked for the Li family for more than a year. Even if I have no merit, I still have hard work. Isn't it better than the new Xia Chen who can only win people's hearts?
Miss, to be fair, do you really want to drive me away?"
Li Yatong had been watching with cold eyes, and saw that Xia Chen actually used gold to defeat Zhou Lin's rebellion, and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised. Although the Li family was rich, they didn't scatter a lot of gold like Xia Chen.
Without even blinking, what is the origin of this guy?
Although she hated Xia Chen, Lin's threat this week was even more hateful. He said coldly: "You buy people's hearts and threaten the Li family. For this reason alone, I can't tolerate you. Because you serve the Li family."
Come on, I won’t embarrass you, just leave now!”
"Miss, you are so cruel!" Zhou Lin's body trembled, and his face suddenly turned bitter: "Okay, I'll leave now. I don't believe it. With Zhou Lin's acquired cultivation level, I still can't find a place to live.
Land? Let’s wait and see!”
He was so filled with hatred that he decided to leave the Li family and join the Yang family immediately. When the two families went to war, he could take the opportunity to take revenge!
"Wait a minute, Zhou Lin, who asked you to leave?" Suddenly, Xia Chen said coldly.
"Xia, do you regret it? Do you want to keep me? Let me tell you, there is you in the Li family without me, there is me without you! I have written down today's scene, just wait, I will double the amount to get you back.
." Zhou Lin said viciously.
"Leave you? What are you dreaming about?" Xia Chen said solemnly, "You went out to seek refuge with the Yang family, right? Now is the time when the Yang family is threatening the Li family. If you go to the Yang family, you are rebelling, and you are a traitor to the Li family!
How can the Li family tolerate you?"
"My surname is Xia!" Zhou Lin couldn't help but get angry when he revealed his thoughts. "My legs are on me. I can go wherever I want. The Li family can't tolerate me, so why don't I be allowed to seek refuge with others?"
"Then you are the scourge of the Li family, and I won't let you stay today!" Xia Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he strode up to Zhou Lin.
As the so-called eradication of evil is done, even if Zhou Lin is insignificant this time, he must be left without any threat.
