As Lu Meilin and others lifted the table, Du Honggen and the others sitting opposite immediately stood up and quickly walked towards the Zhizhen Garden.
Dozens of people moved out together, and the mighty movement immediately shook the entire Yellow River Road.
Originally, everyone on the Yellow River Road knew that there was a lot of excitement at the Zhizhen Garden today, so everyone's eyes were fixed on the Zhizhen Garden. Now that the situation has escalated, they naturally became more concerned.
Du Honggen and others rushed into the Zhizhen Garden in a mighty manner. When Li Li and Lu Meilin were tit for tat, refusing to give in to each other, they went directly to the second floor and came to the box.
Facing Du Honggen and others who came out of the blue and were full of evil spirits, Li Li was not afraid at all and talked to Du Honggen with great momentum.
She was polite, but Du Honggen was not so polite. He ignored Li Li with a bad attitude, and then asked someone to bring the menu and tore off all the big dishes on it.
"........., they are all your seniors, sister, let me make it clear to you, if any of them is dissatisfied with you, you will not open this store. The food they cook, you
No one is allowed to be burned."
Faced with Du Honggen's threat, Li Li's expression did not change, and he just said lightly: "Then what if I don't agree?"
Du Honggen suddenly changed his color, picked up the chair next to him and threw it out. With a bang, he smashed the window on the second floor and the chair fell outside, causing waves of exclamations from outside.
Du Honggen pointed at Li Li and shouted: "I smashed this window, I, Du Honggen, don't worry, I will continue to smash you another one tomorrow, and I will pay you all the money. I, Du Honggen, don't have anything else, just
There are many friends and there are many employees in the company. Starting from tomorrow, they will all come to help your business. One person per table, from the lobby to the private room, each person has a bowl of wontons. They sit there all day long. I don’t think anyone will dare to open your store in the future.
Come again?"
Li Li stood up from his chair, reached out and took an envelope from Manager Pan's hand.
"Mr. Du, although this is my first time to open a restaurant, I have seen meat and vegetables in so many years. Shanghai is a place ruled by law after all. If Mr. Du is willing to make me a friend, I will give this gift to Mr. Du. If
If Mr. Du is unwilling and still wants to see my trump cards, no problem, I will stay with you until the end."
As she said that, she slapped the envelope in her hand on the turntable on the table and turned it hard. The turntable rotated rapidly, and the eyes of everyone else followed the turntable. Only Du Honggen stared at Li
plum.
He has been on the road for many years. He has been observing Li Li's expression just now. But since he appeared, although Li Li's expression has changed many times, he has never shown a look of fear. This made him
I think this woman Li Li is really courageous.
Now Li Li was in front of so many people, not afraid of his threats at all, and even said harsh words, which made him wonder whether there really was some powerful trump card behind Li Li that made her
So confident?
As he thought about it, his eyes involuntarily fell on the envelope in front of him.
Lu Meilin was impatient and wanted to get it, but Du Honggen held down the envelope. The anxious Lu Meilin complained unhappily.
He held down the envelope, glanced at Li Li again, and then picked up the envelope and opened it. However, when he saw a group of people behind him surrounding him, he immediately held down the envelope again.
Lu Meilin understood what he meant and pushed the shop ladies aside. Then Du Honggen carefully opened a corner of the envelope and lowered his head to look at it.
As soon as he saw a few words, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't dare to open it anymore. He pressed it with his hand and held it tightly in his hand.
He took a deep look at Li Li, and was frightened in his heart. This IOU was in Zhou Chen's hands. Now that it appears here, it is obviously the one given to Li Li by Zhou Chen. In other words, it is very likely that behind Li Li,
Zhou Chen.
Thinking of this answer, he felt even more nervous. When Zhou Chen had not achieved what he is now, they came to look for trouble. Instead of taking advantage, they were severely punished by Zhou Chen.
But now Zhou Chen is no longer someone he can offend. Before, he even wanted to do things with Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen didn't agree to him.
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
Seeing Du Honggen's delay in responding, Lu Meilin pushed him eagerly.
Du Honggen did not answer her, but stared at Li Li, holding the envelope in his hand, his expression changed, and he was silent for a moment.
"I am very satisfied with the gift from the boss lady. I, Du Honggen, like to make friends the most. Since the boss lady is willing to make me a friend, then I definitely have no objection. I was impulsive just now, and I will compensate you immediately."
Li Li smiled euphemistically: "Mr. Du is too outspoken. Since we are friends now and are just a window, there is no need to apologize."
The two of them settled their differences and chatted with each other like no one else was around, but Lu Meilin and other proprietresses were shocked, especially Lu Meilin, who stared at Du Honggen in disbelief.
Lu Meilin reacted and let out an angry roar, then rushed out of the box like crazy. Du Honggen quickly chased after her. When the other boss ladies saw that the boss was gone, how could they dare to stay in Zhizhenyuan?
He followed and ran out of the box.
Lu Meilin ran back to Jin Meilin, cursing all the way, and Du Honggen chased after her, pulling her along.
"Meilin, Meilin."
Lu Meilin threw him away: "Don't pull me, let me go. I'm warning you, don't follow me. Go and hug Zhi Zhenyuan's lap."
Being scolded by Lu Meilin, Du Honggen was also very angry. He rushed into Jin Meilin, shouted and scolded all the guests in Jin Meilin's lobby, and then explained to Lu Meilin.
"Lu Meilin, are you being reasonable? Treat politeness as a blessing. I've given you enough face. I'll let you do the king snake, let you do the banquet..."
Lu Meilin turned her head suddenly and shouted angrily: "I'm sorry, I don't do this kind of business. No matter how low I am, Jin Meilin, I will not live off her leftovers."
Du Honggen also shouted: "Open your eyes and see who is behind me?"
"who?"
Du Honggen slapped the IOU he brought out on the table, and Lu Meilin picked it up and read it.
"You see for yourself, your husband gambled money on Ao Island and lost everything. You asked me to go with you to find trouble with Zhou Chen. As a result, you know exactly what happened that day. After seeing this, you still want to follow
Does she fight?"
After seeing the IOU clearly, Lu Meilin's anger suddenly dissipated a lot. She knew exactly how this IOU came about. Thinking of what happened that day, the corners of her eyes couldn't stop twitching.
But she is a very tough-talking person.
"Isn't it Zhou Chen who is behind Li Li? What's so great about it? Zhou Chen was just a little cook of mine, Jin Meilin, so would I be afraid of him?"
Du Honggen shouted angrily: "You also know that it was in the past. He is no longer the little cook he used to be. He is Mr. Zhou, the famous Mr. Zhou in Shanghai. Don't forget that Jin Meilin's business has been so good during this time.
I brought it to you. He is now on good terms with the authorities. You are a restaurant owner, and I am a logistics person. Why are you fighting with them? If they just say a word, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to get along on Huanghe Road.
"
As an old gangster, he is usually very arrogant, but it also depends on who Zhou Chen is. Not to mention anything else, just saying that Zhou Chen donated dozens of cars to the police, as long as Zhou Chen says something about him, he will be killed.
Neither he nor his younger brothers can get better because they have done too many dirty things.
It's okay if you ask him to deal with a restaurant proprietress, but if you ask him to go against Zhou Chen, he doesn't have the courage.
Lu Meilin angrily rubbed the IOU and threw it away, her face full of anger.
"This woman Li Li is really shameless, and Zhou Chen is also shameless. I just said why he always runs to Zhizhen Garden. It turns out that these two people have been together for a long time, bah."
Du Honggen shouted: "You keep your mouth shut. It's okay for you to say what you say in front of me, but if it spreads out and Zhou Chen knows about it, it won't do you any good."
"So what if he finds out, he is famous now, but I, Lu Meilin, am not afraid of him, and I don't rely on him for business, so what's so great about him?"
Lu Meilin is still arrogant, apparently forgetting why Jin Meilin's business has boomed in the past few months.
"I'm too lazy to tell you. Now that you know who is behind Li Li, no matter what their relationship is, I advise you not to provoke her in the future."
"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."
…………
A much-anticipated battle on the Yellow River Road has come to an end. Few people know the specific situation, but apart from a broken window, there were no other losses. Du Honggen's retreat also made it known that Li Li was behind the scenes.
It's not easy, and no one dares to provoke Li Li anymore.
However, a few days later, Li Li lent the gas pipe he had pulled to other hotels for sharing, and the whole war was finally over.
But not long after, a news spread on Huanghe Road. Some people said that behind Li Li of Zhizhenyuan, it was the famous Mr. Zhou and Zhou Chen on Huanghe Road. They also said that they had noses and eyes, so many people believed them.
Li Li did not come forward to explain this, and Zhou Chen did not appear on Huanghe Road.
Neither of them responded. The rumor spread for a while and then slowly died down.
Fuxing Road, Zhou Family!
"Zhizhenyuan has become famous recently, congratulations."
Zhou Chen and Li Li were sitting on the balcony of the bungalow drinking tea and said with a smile.
Li Li took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and praised: "Good tea."
"Zhizhen Garden is what it is today, thanks to Mr. Zhou's reminder and help. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's gift, I would really be riding a tiger that day."
Zhou Chen said: "Even without my gift, with your ability, you will definitely be able to get through it safely. Lu Meilin and Du Honggen are just two tough-tempered people."
Li Li smiled and said: "I don't know how many people are afraid of them on the Yellow River road, but when it comes to your mouth, they turn out to be just a tough-looking person."
"It's just facts."
"I heard a piece of news a few days ago, saying that someone had taken investment from your venture capital meeting before, and ended up trying to keep it for himself..."
"It's solved. I have to say that that person is also a talent. It's a pity that he didn't put his intelligence into the right things. He ruined his whole life for 600,000. He was really smart but was misled by his cleverness."
Zhou Chen has a lot of investment experience. For several investments he made, if there were any problems that might go wrong, people would keep an eye on them in advance. It happened that this person jumped out this time, which allowed him to scare the chickens and scare the monkeys. The effect was
It was very good, and it spread quickly. Even Li Li knew about it, so it must have spread on the Yellow River Road.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any idea of holding the third venture capital conference?"
"Miss Li, do you have any ideas?"
Li Li showed a charming smile and said softly: "Of course, no one on the Yellow River Road would not want to host Mr. Zhou's venture capital meeting, and I am no exception."
Mr. Zhou shrugged and said: "It's a pity that I don't have this idea for the time being. I have no money."
Li Li smiled: "I believe others when they say they have no money, but I don't believe what Mr. Zhou said."
Zhou Chen said: "It's just the truth. I owe a lot of money to the bank. I also owe more than 20 buildings and more than a dozen nursing homes that have not been completed. I also want to leave some money to enjoy life. If I meet a woman who is attracted to me again in the future,
If this woman happens to be short of money, if she wants to win the heart of a beautiful woman, she must leave some money, don't you think so, Miss Li Li?"
Being stared at by Zhou Chen, Li Li always felt that something was wrong. Zhou Chen looked at her as if he had seen through her, and what he said seemed to be said to her on purpose.
"I really can't imagine what kind of woman can make you pay so much for an outstanding man like Mr. Zhou."
"Do you want to try it?"
Faced with Zhou Chen's smiling inquiry, Li Li's heart skipped a beat, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou really likes to joke."
"I'm not joking. Miss Li Li has outstanding abilities, but I am a person who loves to enjoy myself. If I can get your help, even if I leave all my businesses to you, I believe you will do a good job."
Li Li's face changed several times and said: "Mr. Zhou thinks too highly of me. I can only open a restaurant, but it's not as powerful as you said."
"Well, I usually don't like to force others to make things difficult for me, but what I just said was not a joke. You can think about it when you have nothing to do."
Li Li was not sure what Zhou Chen was thinking. She felt that even if she was somewhat pretty, she would not be valued so much by Zhou Chen. However, Zhou Chen said these words in front of her, which really confused her.
She came here twice and found that Zhou Chen had never worked at all. She also heard from people that Zhou Chen rarely went to his company on Nanjing Road.
In her eyes, Zhou Chen is completely different from those businessmen who think about work and business every day. He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a young man who does whatever he wants and enjoys himself.
"I heard that you and Mr. Bao have gotten a little close recently."
"Mr. Bao helped me, and we now have a somewhat cooperative relationship."
Zhou Chen nodded and asked: "Mr. Bao is also a stock trader, so how do you think he compares with Mr. A?"
Li Li was about to pick up the tea cup, but when he heard these words, his hands suddenly stopped.
"Mr. Zhou seems to be very concerned about Mr. A. This is the second time you have mentioned it to me."
"No, you misunderstood. I don't care about Mr. A. After all, he is just a banker who used the stock trading methods he learned to make a lot of people's hard-earned money. He is also a person who cannot withstand the blow of failure.
Why should I care about him? Even in my opinion, he is much worse than Mr. Bao."
Li Li's expression became a little uncomfortable, and he said in a deep voice: "People who speculate in stocks all want to make money. They all have the same mentality. There is no difference, only the level of means."
"There's nothing wrong with what you said. The winner takes all. It's a pity that Mr. A is just the one who was eliminated. You think so."
Zhou Chen had a smile on his face. Although Mr. A was spoken of very powerfully in the TV series and there were many metaphors, the Mr. A shown in the plot was a man who could not bear the failure and huge debts and chose to commit suicide by drowning himself in the river.
It's not worth his attention.
Although what Zhou Chen said was unpleasant, Li Li had to admit that what Zhou Chen said was the truth. Even though Mr. A was the person she respected the most, the facts happened right in front of her. She was the one who knew the process and the best.
The resultant person.
"I know that Mr. Zhou also started out in the stock market, and even went to the Hong Kong stock market. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has ever failed in the stock market?"
"Of course, no one is always victorious, especially in the stock market. Even the banker may become a leek. You should know it well, Li Li."
Li Li just smiled indifferently and raised his glass: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for reminding me."
Seeing that Li Li didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Zhou Chen stopped talking and turned his eyes outside, where he saw Zhu Mei who was returning from shopping for groceries.
"If you don't mind, Miss Li, you can stay and have lunch with us later, and I will cook the food myself."
