After repacking a few more portions of seafood, the clerk returned to the store and told Boss Hu that a man named Li Cheng had invited him to dinner in the parking lot, and the meal consisted of seafood that Li Cheng had bought from the store.

After hearing this, Boss Hu was a little dazed. He stood up from the recliner and started walking around the room.

As he was walking around, he was thinking, this Li Cheng actually wants to treat me to a meal, and he bought seafood from me, and we are eating in the parking lot, this is a bit weird!

Boss Hu had heard Li Cheng's name so often that his ears were almost callused. This was especially true when he was running around for his so-called legal rights recently.

Now Li Cheng suddenly came and said he wanted to treat him to a meal. Boss Hu started to feel uneasy, wondering whether he should go for the meal or not.

Li Cheng's invitation to dinner was definitely not because he felt he was in the wrong. So, he just wanted to discuss those things with me.

Thinking of this, Boss Hu stopped pacing around the room and said to the waiter, "Okay, doesn't he want to eat the food I, Boss Hu, cook? Then make it for him. Go and make these things quickly and send them to the parking lot later."

The waiter agreed and ran towards the kitchen.

The shops designed by Li Cheng all have a simple small kitchen, because Li Cheng knows that the merchants here have to open for business very early, and a small kitchen allows them to cook some hot meals.

Especially in winter, the kitchen is even more important.

This old man Hu is big and strong. Although he is over 50 years old, he still looks strong and powerful. Standing there, he is like an iron tower.

At this moment, he looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall and thought that when he met Li Cheng later, he must have a good talk with him.

The way Boss Hu talks is that others must listen to whatever he says.

Boss Hu has already found out the inside story of the closure of the Shibaqu Lane Seafood Market.

Especially since he knew that Li Cheng had two courtyards there, he thought that the reason why the seafood market in Shibaqu Lane was closed down was because Li Cheng was making a big move to increase the value of his own courtyard.

Just think about how hateful this person is. He relied on his position as the secretary-general of the Entrepreneurs Association to instigate people in the city to close down the seafood market.

The more Boss Hu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he started pacing around the room again.

After Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu returned to Yang Hong, Li Cheng gave Yang Hong a few words. Yang Hong nodded and took his men to get back to work.

Not long after, Yang Hong had someone build a shed in the middle of the empty parking lot.

There was a long table under the pergola, and a few chairs next to the table.

All the shops had closed for lunch at this time, and some people came over to take a look when they saw a canopy set up in the huge parking lot.

When they heard that someone was going to invite Boss Hu to dinner, these people felt a little puzzled.

Everyone knows Boss Hu. He used to be the boss of the seafood market. Now he comes here to do business. It won’t take long for him to become the boss here.

When they learned that the person who treated them was Li Cheng, they felt even more surprised.

In their impression, Li Cheng is a legend of this city.

Such a legendary figure invited Boss Hu to dinner. Could it be that Li Cheng had something to ask of Boss Hu, or was Boss Hu really so influential that Li Cheng could invite him to dinner?

The more I thought about it, the more curious I became. So, someone brought the food here, brought a stool and sat down not far from the awning.

If one person does this, there will be a second and a third...

By the time Li Cheng and his friends brought the steamed seafood here, the area around the awning was already filled with dining tables, like an open-air food stall.

Li Cheng stood in the distance and looked at the crowd of onlookers here, thinking to himself, you are so curious about the meal I had with Boss Hu, it shows that it is very necessary for me to meet with Boss Hu today.

At this time, there were only more than a hundred businesses doing business here, but among these more than a hundred businesses, nearly sixty were moved from Shibaqu Lane.

As a result, Boss Hu's bad reputation has spread throughout the market.

The merchants do business to make money and don't want to get into trouble. Today, Boss Hu suddenly opened a business, and the merchants here are a little scared. They are afraid that Boss Hu will force the merchants to form a price alliance in the name of protecting everyone's interests, just like he did in the Shibaqu Lane Seafood Market.

Merchants all have their own price bottom line. Although the price set by Boss Hu is high, it can seriously affect the quantity of goods sold.

The price alliance benefits small traders and vendors, and it has no benefit for large merchants who mainly engage in wholesale. In the long run, it will also affect future business.

This morning, when Boss Hu came here to do business for the first time, he approached the merchants he knew and asked them to form a price alliance. In the end, some people listened to Boss Hu's words, but more people boycotted him.

It just so happened that Li Cheng invited Boss Hu to dinner at this time, and it seemed that something interesting was going to happen.

In the city's business circle, almost everyone knows Li Cheng's name, whether they are big businessmen or small merchants.

But not many of them had seen Li Cheng, so they all brought their stools here to eat, just to catch a glimpse of Li Cheng and to watch the excitement.

When Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu walked towards the shed, the people became quiet and stared at them.

Li Cheng approached, waved at them, and then called out warmly, "Hello, can we have a drink together later?"

The scene was unusually quiet at first, but after a few seconds, someone shouted, "Okay, okay, we must have a drink with you..."

After this person shouted, everyone shouted loudly, "Have a drink, have a drink..."

Li Cheng, who was walking among them with a smile on his face, changed his expression when he heard this. He thought, "Oh no, I have to get drunk today."

Weng Xiaozhu didn't want to steal Li Cheng's limelight, so she lagged behind him by half a body and followed behind Li Cheng.

Seeing the lively atmosphere, she smiled and waved to everyone. People also greeted her enthusiastically when they saw such a beautiful and graceful woman.

Yang Hong, who was standing under the awning, saw this scene and quickly whispered a few words to one of his men. The man nodded and left quickly.

Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu arrived under the pergola. People were still waving and shouting. Li Cheng waved and said to Yang Hong, "Remember this day. Every year on this day, we'll hold the Seafood Festival here."

Yang Hong's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Okay, why didn't I think of this?"

Li Chengxin said that I didn’t come here today because I didn’t expect it!

After waving his hand again, Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu sat down.

Those noisy people also sat down one after another, waiting for the guest invited by Li Cheng.
