“I know!” Zhu Chengye closed the door and sat down in the empty seat next to the desk. “Kelaiju has indeed brought us a lot of income. But recently there have been quite a few rumors about Xinglong Restaurant.”
“I remember you always dealt with any rumors immediately!” Wan Qiqi stared at Zhu Chengye and asked seriously, “This time, did you believe it too?”
"No, why would I believe such things?" Zhu Chengye's smile was somewhat fake, and he didn't even dare to look Wan Qiqi in the eye.
He said in a hoarse voice, "You have so many creative ideas, and countless people want to collaborate with you. Now that Yongnian has been promoted to county magistrate, it's the icing on the cake."

"Brother Zhu, things have become complicated. You really shouldn't get any deeper into this!" Wan Qiqi didn't answer, but warned him again.
Zhu Chengye's eyes showed disappointment upon hearing this.
He lowered his head and whispered, "Okay!"
Looking at his expression, Wan Qiqi knew that he couldn't possibly do it, nor could he possibly back down.
