Li Cheng looked at the people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with a mocking expression. When they had almost finished kowtowing, Li Cheng said, "Stand up."
When Ermao heard this, he quickly got up and tried to run. But as soon as he turned around, he saw those people wearing the same clothes and holding two swords looking at him angrily.
This Ermao had been hanging around on the streets for a long time, and he dared to beat up adults when he was a teenager. He was a headache for everyone he met. But now he was really scared. Faced with dozens of kitchen knives, he was completely scared.
These people holding double knives are all barbecue stall owners. They also have a common identity, that is, they are all laid-off workers.
When Li Cheng first recruited investors, they didn't even think they could open a barbecue stall here. It was Li Cheng who found them and even found a master to teach them the barbecue techniques.
After they finished their apprenticeship, Li Cheng gave them a stall. Moreover, he did not charge stall fees for the first three months, and the fee was 50% after that.
These people all remembered this kindness in their hearts. Li Cheng didn't say anything today. If Li Cheng said to remove Ermao and others' arms, they would have crippled them without hesitation.
Ermao had really messed with the wrong people tonight. He came here to cause trouble, hoping to collect some protection money, which was like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, stealing food from the bowls of these laid-off workers.
Ermao knelt down again. This time, Li Cheng didn't say anything to him before letting him get up. After Ermao kowtowed several times, Li Cheng waved his hand, signaling Master Zhou and the others to disperse.
Master Zhou was worried, so he walked over to Li Cheng with a kitchen knife in hand and whispered, "This kid is very bad. If I don't give him a good beating tonight, he will definitely come back to cause trouble in the future."
Li Cheng waved his hands and said, "It's okay. If he dares to come, we will bury him alive."
Although Master Zhou's voice was low, Ermao heard it, as did Li Cheng's words. Ermao turned around and kowtowed to Li Cheng and Master Zhou again.
"Grandpas, I won't come here again, please let me go------"
Li Cheng smiled and winked at Master Zhou.
"Ermao, you guys get up." Li Cheng said and sat down first.
Ermao raised his head, looking dusty and dirty.
"Get up, get up, and sit here."
Li Cheng pointed towards the low table.
Ermao got up, but he didn't dare sit down. He just stole a glance at the kitchen knife in Master Zhou's hand. Li Cheng saw this and said to Master Zhou, "Take them away and pack up quickly. You've been busy all day. Go back and rest early."
Master Zhou was still worried, so Li Chengju stood up and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just chatting with these brothers. It will be fine."
Master Zhou had no choice but to wave to the other men with kitchen knives, and then walked towards his own stall.
After seeing them leave, Li Cheng sat down, then took out a few bottles of beer and said, "Come, let's have a drink."
Ermao and the others didn't know what Li Cheng was going to do, and they were hesitant, not knowing whether to drink or not.
Li Cheng didn't say much. He opened the beer one by one and then put the bottles in their hands.
"We're destined to meet tonight. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Cheng, and I'm the boss here."
"Oh, it's Boss Li. Hello, Boss Li, we were blind and came to your territory to cause trouble. We were wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us------"
After Ermao finished speaking, he held the bottle, not knowing whether he should toast Li Cheng at this moment. Li Cheng clinked his glass with his, then tilted his head back and took a sip of beer.
Seeing this, Ermao and others also started drinking.
Li Cheng knew these people's bad habits were hard to change, so he wouldn't try to play the lute to a cow. So, after finishing a bottle of wine, Li Cheng said, "Since we're drinking together tonight, then we're acquaintances from now on. I don't care about what happens outside, but I welcome you to come and have barbecue here, and I'll even give you a discount. But, their survival is not easy. Behind this barbecue stall are the lives of their entire families. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ermao and the others nodded and said "I understand, I understand, I understand------"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Do you really understand or are you pretending to understand?"
Ermao quickly said, "I really understand. Their whole family relies on the barbecue stall to survive."
Li Cheng nodded and continued, "If you dare not let their family live, they will really fight you to the death. People outside say that you are not afraid of death in a fight, but to tell you the truth, they are the ones who are not afraid of death. For their family, they really dare to use kitchen knives to chop people."
What Li Cheng said was true. These laid-off workers had all broken the law in order to survive. Li Cheng heard about their stories at a company symposium and then called them over one by one and gave them a barbecue stall.
Ermao, who pretends to be fearless, met these people who are really fearless tonight. He was able to sit in front of Li Cheng unharmed. He really has to thank Li Cheng.
Ermao said again: "Boss Li, Boss Li, we really won't come here to cause trouble anymore. We won't come to this street anymore. We really won't come------"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Don't forget to come. I welcome you to come and have barbecue. But, you can't eat for free anymore!"
Ermao grabbed a handful of hair and said, "No, no, I really won't come."
Li Chengxin said, "Do you still dare to come?" Master Zhou and his men's kitchen knives are no joke. If they get angry, they really dare to chop people.
Ermao and his men left in disgrace. After they left, Li Cheng looked towards the east, wondering what on earth those people were doing there. They didn't even know how to go home so late.
"Hey, you guys, what are you doing?"
Hearing Li Cheng's shout, Meng Jianghong and others looked over here.
Li Cheng waved to them, and the three of them walked towards Li Cheng.
When they got closer, Li Cheng asked, "It's already the middle of the night, why haven't you gone back yet? What are you doing there?"
Han Dayuzi said, "Why don't we just draw a picture of that place and see how many stalls we can draw."
Meng Jianghong and Weng Xiaozhu were shaking the dirt off their bodies and laughing.
Li Cheng looked at the three of them and thought, "Do you really need to do this yourself?" Tomorrow, oh, today, Captain Zhu and the others will do it themselves.
But it was not what he said. Li Cheng said: "There are weeds everywhere, maybe there are snakes------"
"ah!"
Meng Jianghong and Weng Xiaozhu both screamed.
Han Dayuzi was amused and said, "There was indeed a snake. It crawled over my feet and then went to Principal Meng and Mr. Weng."
When he said this, the two women jumped up immediately------
At this time, the lights in the last stall were also turned off, and only one light was still on here, which seemed both deserted and a little weird.
Li Cheng looked at the light and said, "It's pitch black. It doesn't look like the center of a city, but more like the wilderness."
Han Daya looked at Li Cheng and thought to himself, is Mr. Li planning something again?
