Butcher Li chuckled and said in a mocking tone,
"Oh brother, don't be angry! I was just trying to save you some money!"
"Am I short of money? You've been joking with me all this time!"
Wu Shiren snapped out of his daze and cursed himself for being so stupid as to believe the nonsense of a tyrannical rogue and place the restaurant's hopes on him.
He rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and dismissed him.
"Stop spouting nonsense and get back to what you're doing."
Butcher Li grinned shamelessly, "Brother, look at you, so clueless! I was just joking with you. Actually, I've already come up with the idea for you."
"What idea do you have? Tell me about it."
"Brother, Ruyi Restaurant only offers a few signature dishes. Since we can't compete with them in terms of cooking skills, why don't we focus on improving our skills?"
What do you mean by that?
"The success of a restaurant depends on its popularity. If no one goes to eat there, even the best food is useless."
"How could that be? The place is packed from morning till night, how could no one be eating? You're just being delusional!"
“Brother, you’re right, but if we prevent those diners from entering Ruyi Restaurant, then no one will eat there,” Butcher Li said with a sly smile.
Wu Shiren narrowed his eyes, then perked up immediately. "Brother, tell me how you plan to make your move?"
"Let's give him a subtle approach," Butcher Li said with a sly smile, recounting his brilliant plan in a low voice.
After hearing this, Wu Shih-jen clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, excellent, we'll do it your way."
Seeing that the time was right, Butcher Li immediately changed the subject, "Brother, although this idea is good, it won't cost a small amount!"
"As long as we can ruin Ruyi Tower's reputation, this little bit of money is nothing. Name your price, how much do you need?"
"This is a conservative estimate," Butcher Li said, holding up three fingers.
Wu Shiren shook his head and smiled, "Thirty taels of silver, that's not much money, brother, I'll go get it for you right away."
"Brother, do you really think my men are poor beggars? Thirty taels of silver isn't enough!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying three, three hundred taels?"
"That's right, it's three hundred taels."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiren's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped up, hands on his hips, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"What? Three hundred taels of silver? You really dare to ask for that? This is blatant robbery!"
Butcher Li shook his head and smiled faintly, "I already told you, if you want to handle this matter well and ruin Ruyilou's business, you will need a lot of manpower. If you are unwilling to spend money, your brother is powerless to help."
"Could you lower the price? How about one hundred taels?"
"At least three hundred taels, this is already a special price for you as a family member. For others, it would be at least five hundred taels of silver."
Butcher Li would not let go of this good opportunity to make money. He had already planned to take out twenty taels of silver to pay off his brothers, then take out a few taels of loose silver to do serious business, and with the remaining silver he could buy a decent house in Anyang. Then he could ask a matchmaker to marry a young woman. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Seeing that Butcher Li was all talk of brotherhood and loyalty, but in reality he was a greedy, opportunistic scoundrel, and a man who would betray his principles for personal gain...
Wu Shih-ren was so angry he gritted his teeth, but if he disagreed, he really couldn't think of a better solution.
Now, as long as we destroy the Ruyi Building across the street and completely extinguish our daughter's hopes, ensuring she never sees Chen Feng again in her life, this small expense will be well spent.
Thinking of this, a wide smile spread across his chubby face.
"Brother, three hundred taels it is, but let me make this clear from the start: you have to do a good job. Remember, our goal is to ruin Ruyi Tower and get those brother and sister out of here. Under no circumstances should anyone die. If anything happens, I won't be responsible."
"Brothers value loyalty above all else and would never do anything so treacherous. I will arrange this matter properly and will absolutely not implicate you, brother."
Butcher Li agreed verbally, but in his heart he didn't take it seriously. What was this so-called brotherhood? It was all bullshit!
At birth, people are inherently good; they have countless fair-weather friends who boast and talk nonsense when nothing's wrong, but scatter like birds and beasts when trouble comes.
If you really cause a huge mess, you bastard will definitely be in trouble.
Wu Shiren nodded in satisfaction, and without saying a word, handed Li the butcher a silver note containing three hundred taels of silver, and instructed him...
"Brother, as long as your method works and can ruin the reputation of Ruyi Tower across the street, I will give you an extra fifty taels of silver as a reward for your hard work."
"Alright, you can hold it!" Butcher Li was so happy that his mouth stretched from ear to ear. He hurriedly got up and took the silver note. "Brother, I'll go arrange the manpower right away."
"Okay, hurry up and get ready. The sooner you act, the better. Try to bring Ruyi Tower down as soon as possible."
Butcher Li grinned wickedly, "Just wait and see what happens!"
With that, he turned and walked away, all excited.
Wu Cuihua stared at Li the butcher's back, her eyes blazing with anger. She knew that this man's arrival meant trouble and that he was up to no good again.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone said she had a good father who loved and doted on her, and she was always obedient to her mother. To outsiders, they seemed very loving, but little did they know that all of this was just a joke at this moment.
If she had known this would happen, even if her father disapproved of her relationship with Chen Feng, she would never have been so obedient. For three years, although she saw Chen Feng every day, she maintained a proper distance from him, all so that one day her father would truly accept him.
But now she finally understands one thing: her father doesn't agree to her being with Chen Feng because he's afraid Chen Feng will marry into the family, and then his son outside the marriage won't be able to inherit the family business.
