Chapter 31
A man pushed open the door of a coffee shop while playing with his mobile phone. A stuffed animal brushed against his trouser leg at his feet. He glanced at it and saw that the dog was wearing handsome clothes, but the head did not look like that of a Samoyed or a Husky. So he curiously moved closer to take a look at its face.
Holy crap!!!!
I took three steps back after reading it.
The customers who were queuing to buy coffee all let out some small exclamations and stepped aside.
The clerk behind the ordering counter was giving change, but two coins were handed over but fell into empty hands. The person who took the money had already slipped into the corner and shouted over: "No need for change, no need for change." After saying that, he pushed open a small door on the side and ran away quickly.
The clerk's outstretched arm was frozen in the air, not daring to move, because Song Zhouqi's eyes met his.
"......." It is said that looking directly at a dog will be considered a provocation? ?
“Is it a Tibetan Mastiff?”
"Where did it come from?"
"No master holding you?
.....
There was an immediate buzz of discussion in the store. Although Tibetan Mastiffs are ferocious dogs, the one that rushed into the store was well-dressed, with a triangular scarf tied around its neck, and its fur was clean and shiny. It was obvious that it had been carefully raised by its owner. While people were afraid of it, they also felt a bit of fondness for it.
But the prerequisite is that the Tibetan Mastiff must be docile.
And Song Zhouxing was definitely not here to attack anyone.
He placed the store's hundred-dollar bills on the ground, stepped on them with his paws, and yelled at the clerk, "Woof!"
Shop assistant: “…”
Oh my God, I don’t understand what you are saying!
There was a big sign in front of the ordering counter, with the store's new and hot coffee on it. Song Xingqi sat down in front of the sign and touched the new coffee on the sign with his other paw.
Want this.
Seeing that the clerk was confused, he nodded and said, "I want to buy coffee."
"Oh my God, does it want to buy coffee?" Finally a customer expressed what Song Zhouqi was thinking.
After this reminder, everyone noticed that Song Xingqi had brought money with him and ordered food in front of the sign. Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and the wind direction suddenly changed.
“Isn’t it so smart that it can buy coffee by itself?”
"Did you buy it specifically for your master?"
"A dog that can buy its own coffee must have been well trained and will definitely not jump on anyone!"
"Although it's a Tibetan Mastiff, it's really cute and looks so well behaved~~~"
....
Some customers have already taken out their mobile phones to take photos and even videos of Song Zhouxing.
Song Xingqi shook his big tail, using this action to show that he was in a relaxed state and posed no threat.
"Brother, brother..." The shop assistant pulled her brother who was making coffee with his back to her.
My brother took off his headphones and said, "What are you doing? I'm busy."
The clerk said: "A customer is placing an order in cash."
"Oh, okay," the brother turned around.
The customers were not lining up, and he didn't know what they were crowding around, so he asked, "Who's taking the order, please?"
Everyone made way, in the middle was a Tibetan Mastiff.
Song Xingqi picked up the hundred-dollar bill and rushed to the ordering counter in two or three steps. People around him exclaimed "Oh wow", surprised and curious. He put the money down and pushed it with his paw.
The clerk was stunned for two seconds and asked, "What would you like to order?"
When Song Xingqi was paying, Chen Yuan had already caught up with him. He was in the middle of a group of customers. Just as he was about to speak, a customer helped Song Xingqi by saying, "I saw him pointing at the sign. He wants that Biluochun latte."
Song Zhouqi: “Woof!”
right!
Chen Yuan didn't want to miss such a novel scene, so he raised his phone and adjusted the angle to take a picture.
"Okay, a cup of Biluochun latte is 32 yuan. I'll give you 100 yuan in cash and 68 yuan in change. I'll put the change in the takeaway bag for you," the shop assistant was very thoughtful.
The sister silently gave him a thumbs up, brother is awesome!
The coffee was ready. Song Xingqi picked up the takeaway bag, held his head high and walked out of the coffee shop happily with Chen Yuan. The whole process of him buying coffee and the clerk calmly taking the order was recorded by the customer and posted online. In just one hour, the number of clicks exceeded 10,000.
"How strange... A big dog can buy and order coffee by himself. Who taught you that?" Chen Yuan said casually.
This also reminded Song Zhouxing that he was too smart.
But Song Xingqi couldn't think of any other way to go.
*
The secretary made tea for Zhang Shixian and others, then left the office.
Zhang Shixian came to seek cooperation today, but he swept away the tension in the past when they met, and said: "Fu Chen, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Although our two families have some grudges, there are no eternal enemies in the business world. As long as we can make money, wouldn't it be better for everyone to cooperate and win together?"
Fu Chen was smoking a cigar, with faint smoke lingering in the air. His cold and sharp eyes were fixed on the burly man standing behind Zhang Shixian.
To be precise, it was looking at the other person's leather-gloved hands.
The sleeve of this hand appears loose and not as thick as the other person's right arm because a mechanical prosthesis is installed in the sleeve.
He was not Zhang Shixian's assistant, but a hired bodyguard.
If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. People with a guilty conscience will naturally be afraid of being harmed.
Zhang Shixian took a sip of tea, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and said, "I remember when we were young, we built snowmen in the same yard. At that time, the relationship between our two families was pretty good. Later, there were conflicts because of my grandfather's generation. They had competition, so we stopped interacting with each other. In the end, it's not a big deal."
Fu Chen's eyes finally fell on Zhang Shixian's smiling face. He slowly dusted off his cigarette ash and said, "Indeed, there is nothing to talk about the grudges of the older generation, but how do I settle my brother's account?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shixian paused. Since everyone knew the truth, there was no need to beat around the bush. He smiled and said, "Yes, I admit that it was my brother who did the stupid thing. After all, he is a few years younger than us, and he is impulsive and quick-tempered. I will host Fu Er and the others for dinner some other day, and I will bring Shi Yao to apologize to him."
"It seems that Mr. Zhang is indeed sincere," said Fu Chen.
"Of course," Zhang Shixian said happily, "I can't just bring people here to quarrel with you."
"Besides, President Fu is not extremely powerful. He set us up in the cooperation with Daxing Bank. This tone should be calculated."
Fu Chen snorted lightly, like a laugh, but also like a mockery, and no other emotions could be seen on his cold face.
Zhang Shixian's smile began to fade, and he was unsure what Fu Chen meant.
Although they were both bosses, his aura was inferior to the other party. He was gritting his teeth in his heart, but had to pretend to be amiable on the surface. He winked at his assistant, who understood and immediately took out a cooperation letter from his briefcase.
Zhang Shixian said: "This is our tourism development plan. We have done market research and risk assessment to ensure that the project will be profitable in the future. With policy support, the cost will be reduced a lot. If Tianhong Group can join us, it will be great. We can split the profits 50-50 in the future."
Fu Chen had a cold expression on his face and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "If you want to cooperate with me, you are not qualified yet."
"You..." Zhang Shixian was embarrassed and changed his face immediately. But he remembered his father's advice and had to suppress his temper and continue lobbying. "There is no point in fighting to the death. Instead of both sides getting hurt, it is better to make money together. It will be good for everyone."
"What a pity," Fu Chen said firmly, dusting off his cigarette ash. "I hold grudges. If someone shows me respect, I will show them respect. If I have time to cooperate with you, I might as well go home and play with the dog."
There is no chance of cooperation.
Zhang Shixian's face turned pale and blue, and he said while gnashing his teeth: "Once the tourism project is launched, it will be profitable. The reason you are willing to meet me today is..."
Having said this, he paused and suddenly came to his senses.
He didn't even throw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, but threw it directly on the floor, crushed it with his leather shoes, picked up the cooperation letter, slammed the door and left.
The bodyguards and assistants followed.
Zhang Shixian was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness: "Fucking Fu Chen, how dare you play tricks on me."
The assistant didn't quite understand and advised: "Mr. Zhang, the Zhang and Fu families have always had grievances. It's normal that we can't reach an agreement the first time. If we are a little more patient, maybe..."
"Maybe bullshit!" Zhang Shixian cursed, "Didn't you hear it? He meant that our Zhang family is worse than dogs. Also, why can we see him and sit down to talk as soon as we arrive? He expected us to come and wanted to deliberately see me bow my head in front of him, just to slap me in the face. As for cooperation, he didn't even consider it. It's impossible today, and it's even more impossible in the future."
Downstairs, Chen Yuan pressed the elevator button for Song Xingqi, then pointed to his cell phone and said, "I have an important call, you go up first."
He had already returned to the company and it was just a matter of getting on the elevator, so he felt relieved.
Song Zhouqi stepped into the elevator obediently.
The elevator went up one floor at a time, and with a ding, the elevator door opened.
The three men outside the door were slightly stunned.
Seeing a Tibetan mastiff in such a strict working environment, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't a little surprised. However, Zhang Shixian was furious, and he was not afraid of anything when he was angry. He quickly regained his composure and continued what he had just said when he walked into the elevator: "Fu Chen won't be so proud for too long. When the day comes when I step on him, I want him to kneel down in public and beg me to give their Fu family a way out."
"But what should we do now?" the assistant said carefully, "He didn't agree and didn't even consider cooperation between the two companies. How do we explain this to the chairman?"
"If you don't cooperate, there are ways to do it," Zhang Shixian sneered.
Song Zhou heard every word they said and turned around to look at the three people in the elevator in surprise.
These people want to deal with Fu Chen? !
Song Zhou suddenly became anxious. He put down his coffee, turned around and rushed into the elevator which had not yet closed. He pounced with his fangs bared.
Zhang Shixian's face changed, and the bodyguard beside him moved quickly, instantly standing in front of Zhang Shixian and using his mechanical prosthesis to block Song Xingqi's attack.
Song Xingqi is very timid and doesn't know why he has the courage to pounce on the bad guys. But at this moment he doesn't have time to think too much. He just wants to prevent others from harming Fu Chen.
"Gu..." A threatening sound came from his throat.
The bodyguard showed a ruthless look, and with his other hand he grabbed Song Zhouxing's fur and pushed her out.
Song Zhouxing had no fighting experience, nor was he as strong as the burly bodyguard. He fell out of the elevator, rolled on his back, and knocked over the coffee on the ground with a bang, spilling the coffee all over the floor.
"Ouch, ouch..." Song Xingqi felt pain and dug the ground with his claws a few times before standing up.
Zhang Shixian tilted his head and spoke to the bodyguard in a light tone.
The bodyguard nodded.
Song Xingqi was frightened and kept roaring, but did not dare to pounce again.
The bodyguard walked out of the elevator and was about to take action when Chen Yuan, who was in another elevator, happened to come out. Seeing that something was wrong, he suddenly shouted, "What are you going to do!"
The bodyguard suppressed the fierceness on his face and turned back to look at his boss. Zhang Shixian did not intend to pay attention to Chen Yuan and said to the bodyguard: "Let's go."
The bodyguard returned to the elevator, the assistant released the elevator button, and the three of them left leisurely.
Chen Yuan rushed to check on Song Xingqi. Seeing that he was not injured, could stand intact, and was not screaming, he felt relieved. Then he called the cleaning staff to clean the corridor, and Song Xingqi followed him back to the president's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yuan told him about this.
"Mr. Fu, Zhou Xing has always been very well behaved. He won't pounce on anyone he sees and he will even go outside to buy coffee by himself. I don't think he likes to drink the bitter drink himself, he must have bought it for you. He was so well behaved but suddenly went crazy. Maybe Mr. Zhang said something bad about you and he happened to hear it," Chen Yuan expressed his thoughts.
That's the truth.
Fu Chen sat in the middle of the sofa in the room, his face as cold as iron and his eyes terrifyingly gloomy.
Chen Yuan said everything that needed to be said on behalf of Song Xingqi.
But Song Zhouqi is still very scared now. He is very afraid of Fu Chen.
Fu Chen had never looked at him with such a terrifying look. He stood in the middle of the office with his head lowered and his tail drooping. He didn't know what to do and had none of the momentum he had just had to pounce on people.
Fu Chen stood up. This man was even taller than the burly bodyguard just now.
"Woo..." Song Zhouqi took a step back in fear.
Fu Chen said: "Turn up the surveillance in the elevator."
Chen Yuan: "I'll go right away."
There was only one person and one dog left in the room. When Song Xingqi met Fu Chen's gaze, he took several steps back, then ran to the corner of the office and curled up, with his head on the ground and a listless expression.
"Xingxi, come here," Fu Chen tried to call him.
Song Zhou didn't go because he was afraid that Fu Chen would scold him.
Fu Chen took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and he exhaled slowly through his nose, but it did not relieve the depression in his chest.
A few minutes later, the surveillance video of the elevator was sent to his computer. He watched the whole process without saying a word, clicked the mouse a few times, and the picture was rewound and replayed repeatedly, finally freezing at the moment when Zhang Shixian ordered the bodyguard.
What I mean is: kill it.
I see.
Fu Chen took out another cigarette and lit it casually with his lighter. In his lowered eyes, there was a rage even more intense than the flame.
No wonder his week was so scary.
He looked at Song Xingqi, considering whether to go over to comfort him immediately, or let him stay quiet for a while. After all, he had suffered quite a stir, and if he forced himself to get close to him, would it have a counter-effect and cause stress to the human?
Fu Chen is having a headache.
But in Song Zhouqi's eyes, he was despised and hated by Fu Chen.
He felt as if a knife was stabbed in his heart. Today he scared his colleagues at the company and spilled the coffee he bought all over the floor. Others said bad things about Fu Chen and wanted to deal with him, but not only did he not help, he was beaten instead. In Fu Chen's eyes, he must be very cowardly and useless, right?
He will only cause trouble for Fu Chen...
Thinking of this, Song Xingqi made a decision.
When Fu Chen went to the meeting again, he left Tianhong Building looking back every few steps.
