"Young Master, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. There are a lot of reporters from newspapers and TV stations gathered outside the door."
Butler Wang’s words left Zhou Tian, who was still hungover from last night, confused. What was going on? What happened so early in the morning?
Zhou Tian went up and grabbed Butler Wang by the collar, saying sternly, "Old Wang, why are you panicking? What's going on? Explain it to me clearly."
Steward Wang suppressed his inner fear and said tremblingly, "Young Master, something bad has happened. There are many reporters outside the door."
Zhou Tian was so angry that he wondered what was wrong with this housekeeper Wang. He kept repeating the same thing.
Butler Wang looked at Zhou Tian, who was about to explode in anger, and suddenly understood the problem, so he quickly explained, "The eldest young master is Huo Qiqi, and she has come here with a large number of media."
When Zhou Tian heard Huo Qiqi's name, he instinctively wanted to run. After running two steps, he suddenly stopped. This is not right. This is my home. Why should I run? Huo Qiqi is powerful, but she can't come into my house and beat me.
"Butler Wang, do you understand the purpose of Huo Qiqi's visit?" Zhou Tian straightened his messy pajamas and said calmly.
Butler Wang looked at Zhou Tian speechlessly. It had only been a few days, so could he have forgotten everything he had done? "Young Master, do you still remember what happened at the cooking competition three days ago?"
Cooking competition, three days ago, suddenly memories came flooding back like a tide, Zhou Tian slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh no!"
Huo Qiqi must have thought that she was deliberately cheating and not fulfilling her promise to transfer the three supermarkets. That's why she called so many media reporters. If she didn't handle this matter well, not only would her reputation be ruined, but the stock price of her company would also be affected.
"Butler Wang, I remember now that I had a bet with Huo Qiqi, but I actually forgot about it these days." Zhou Tian scratched his messy hair, blaming himself.
"Butler Wang, although I lost the bet, I really don't want to transfer those three supermarkets. The three supermarkets have a net profit of 2 million per month. You should think about it quickly to see if there is any good solution." Zhou Tian stared at Butler Wang's eyes as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Butler Wang thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Master, what exactly was the bet you made with Huo Qiqi?"
Zhou Tian rubbed his aching head and thought carefully, "Our bet is that if Huo Qiqi catches the murderer who poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, I will transfer three supermarkets to Huo Qiqi."
Butler Wang continued to ask, "Young Master, did Huo Qiqi catch the murderer?"
After hearing Butler Wang's question, Zhou Tian suddenly understood. Although Huo Qiqi had found the murderer, the murderer died before he could admit his crime.
In this way, Huo Qiqi is between admitting and denying the murderer after catching him.
Zhou Tian suddenly thought of a more important question, that is, Zou Chuang, the witness of the letter of commitment, which side is he on?
"Butler Wang, go see if Zou Chuang from the Zou family is among the crowd?"
The Zhou family is now closed. He dares to cheat and deny his debts to Huo Qiqi, but he doesn't dare to do that to Zou Chuang.
Although Huo Qiqi is one of the four major families in Hong Kong, her rise was so fast that many people ignored her strength and background.
But Zou Chuang is different. Not only is he from the first family in Hong Kong, his early history of making a fortune also makes many people stay away from him.
"Boss Huo, you came to Young Master Zhou to collect debts early in the morning. Why didn't you call me? After all, I am a witness." Zou Chuang quickly came to Huo Qiqi's side and said seriously.
"Looking at Zhou Tian's attitude, Master Zou, does he not intend to fulfill this promise?" Huo Qiqi raised the letter of commitment in her hand.
"Boss Huo, leave this matter to me. I will go find Zhou Tian and ask him to fulfill his promise." Zou Chuang was furious. This Zhou Tian really didn't know what was good for him. He had offended two of the four major families at once.
"Master Zou, there's no need. Since Zhou Tian chooses to cheat and refuse to admit his fault, don't blame me for fighting back." Huo Qiqi said in a cold tone.
Butler Wang inside the door happened to see Huo Qiqi and Zou Chuang talking, and he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
Just when Butler Wang didn't know how to report to Zhou Tian, he was surprised to find that Zou Chuang actually drove away.
Butler Wang's eyes turned and a plan came to his mind.
"Master, this is great news. I was terrified when I went out just now because I saw Zou Chuang standing next to Huo Qiqi. When I sneaked up to him to find out, he actually left."
After hearing the report from Butler Wang, Zhou Tian fell into deep thought. What was the reason for Zou Chuang's departure? Did they have a falling out?
Never mind. Since the witness Zou Chuang has left, Huo Qiqi should not think that I will take the initiative to fulfill my promise.
Zhou Tian knew that he could make Huo Qiqi lose face, so he was in a good mood. He no longer hid in the house and walked into the yard in a leisurely manner.
He wanted to laugh at Huo Qiqi's helplessness.
Huo Qiqi, who was outside the door, planned to use courtesy first and then force, so she shouted to Master Zhou in the yard: "Master Zhou Tian, are you really not going to fulfill your promise?"
Zhou Tian knew that he had to do something at this moment, at least to explain why he did not fulfill his promise.
Zhou Tian said helplessly, "Boss Huo, it's not that I don't fulfill my promise. The condition of our bet is that you catch the murderer who poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. But if the accused murderer never admitted his crime until his death, you can't be considered a winner, right?"
Zhou Tian thought that if he explained the reason clearly, the media reporters on the scene would understand and support his approach. However, he forgot that most of these reporters were also invited guests of the cooking competition.
Huo Qiqi and many media reporters outside the door were so angry after hearing Zhou Tian’s shameless rebuttal that they didn’t know what to say.
Huo Qiqi smiled coldly at Zhou Tian in the yard, turned around and left without saying a word.
The media reporters at the scene were dissatisfied with Zhou Tian's behavior and kept taking pictures of him.
The media reporters' actions of taking photos frightened Zhou Tian. He knew that these reporters would definitely report that he had not fulfilled his promise when they returned. Ultimately, Zhou Tian was not in the right in this matter.
Although the tall and thin chef did not personally admit that he was the one who poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the poison was found on him, and then he killed Huo Qiqi in anger, which fully proved that he was the one who poisoned it.
Zhou Tian was dizzy and made a stupid move. He arranged for many bodyguards to snatch the reporters' films. He thought that by doing so, these media reporters would not be able to publish reports about him.
But before his bodyguards could take action, some reporters saw through Zhou Tian's intention and called on other media reporters to evacuate the scene together.
Zhou Tian looked at the reporters' backs, feeling like crying. He was worried that the company's stock price would be in big trouble tomorrow.
When Huo Qiqi in the system space saw this scene, her mood immediately improved.
Mr. Zhou, I hope you like the gift I gave you.
