As they were speaking, a burly man following behind Qian Zheng grinned and lunged at Li Yuanchao.
Qian Zheng did not stop it immediately.
He wanted to see what this young man was capable of.
He couldn't figure out Li Yuanchao's background, so he naturally didn't dare to do anything reckless, but a little probing was necessary.
After all, in Qian Zheng's view, there were few people in the small Funing County whom he couldn't afford to offend.
Just as the burly man's fist, as big as a clay pot, was about to be thrown, Qian Zheng slowly spoke.
"Ninth Brother, stop!"
He rebuked the burly man, his narrowed eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Li Yuanchao.
"Young man, I'm not bullying you now."
Qian Zheng said with a forced smile, "It was this little slut who provoked me first. I don't care who you are, when we're in this business, we have to be reasonable, right?"
"reason?"
Li Yuanchao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, then I'll reason with you!"
His gaze suddenly shifted to the waiter who was cowering in the doorway, trembling with fear.
"Go and make a phone call for me."
"The number is..."
Li Yuanchao's voice was not loud, but it carried a commanding authority.
"Tell the person on the other end of the phone that my name is Li Yuanchao, and tell him to get over here right now!"
The waiter blinked blankly, meeting Li Yuanchao's gaze that seemed to see right through him, and for a moment he forgot to move.
Qian Zheng raised an eyebrow.
This number...
It feels so familiar.
But for a moment, he just couldn't remember where the number came from.
"What are you standing there for? Go now!"
Li Yuanchao raised his voice slightly, with a hint of impatience.
"Oh oh oh!"
The waiter suddenly realized what was happening and scrambled out of the room.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became extremely oppressive.
Qian Zheng, being a seasoned veteran, saw Li Yuanchao's confident and fearless demeanor and began to consider backing down.
"Young man, for your sake, I'll let this matter slide with this lowly servant girl."
He offered a way out: "As long as she toasts me now and apologizes, we can go our separate ways and not interfere with each other from now on."
Li Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled, and her red lips parted slightly as she was about to speak.
Li Yuanchao chuckled, but there was no warmth in his laughter, only a chilling coldness.
He stared intently at Qian Zheng, enunciating each word clearly.
“When I, Li Yuanchao, have a meal with someone, no one has ever dared to disturb me.”
"Not to mention, you shouldn't be rude to my guests."
"You are the first."
Qian Zheng's face darkened completely.
"Young man, that's enough. Don't make a big deal out of it!"
"Although I don't know who you are, in Funing County, you might not be able to beat me, Qian Zheng, in a battle of wits!"
"You may know a few leaders, but so what? Do you think I, Qian Zheng, don't have a few friends?"
He gave a cold laugh and issued his final warning.
"Funing County is so small, who knows, the people you called here might even be my friends!"
hehe!
Li Yuanchao's sarcasm deepened. He ignored Qian Zheng and walked straight to the side, righting the round table he had overturned. He then picked up a perfectly good chair and gently placed it behind Li Yuanyuan.
"Miss Li, I'm sorry you were frightened, it's my fault."
His voice was gentle, as if the tense standoff had never happened.
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation next."
"Don't worry."
He turned his head, his gaze turning icy again.
"Let alone a mere Funing County, even in Beijing, no one would dare to slap me, Li Yuanchao, in the face like this."
From Beijing?
A high-ranking official's son?!
Qian Zheng was startled, but quickly regained his composure.
So what!
The emperor is far away and the country is high!
If all else fails, I can apologize later. Businessmen can be flexible and adaptable; it's not shameful.
at the same time.
The Party Secretary's Office on the fourth floor of the Municipal Building.
Secretary Liu was holding a teacup and chatting with Vice Mayor Ma.
Vice Mayor Ma was puzzled, wondering what Secretary Liu was up to, rambling on and on without getting to the point.
"Ring ring!"
The red telephone on the desk suddenly rang with a piercing sound.
"Old Ma, I need to take this call!"
Secretary Liu stood up with a smile. He had called Vice Mayor Ma here to subtly inquire about Li Yuanyuan's whereabouts for Li Yuanchao, but as the top leader, he had to be mindful of his approach.
He walked to the table and picked up the microphone.
Who is it?
"Hello, I'm the manager of Lanjiang Hotel... Just now, a guest got into a fight with someone in a private room. He... he asked me to call this number... saying that you need to come over right away!"
The hotel manager was clearly terrified and didn't even dare to repeat Li Yuanchao's original words, "Get over here."
Secretary Liu frowned.
What the hell? They called my office and want me to handle a conflict?
"What does that young man look like?" Secretary Liu asked patiently.
"He's...quite handsome, tall and thin, and wears gold-rimmed glasses. Oh, and his hair is parted to the side and slicked back!"
Holy crap!
It's Le Wan-cho!
Secretary Liu's mind went blank for a moment, his breathing became rapid, and his hands trembled slightly.
"How is he now? Is he injured?!"
"I'm not injured, I was just... in a standoff with someone in the private room!"
