"Yo, you calling someone?"
Zeng Ping chuckled, "There aren't many people I fear in Yunqing City. Who are you calling?"
He suddenly noticed a pure-faced young girl standing not far behind him, watching Lin Fan with concern. He thought to himself, "This kid is ordinary, but his luck with women is too incredible!"
"Each of the three beauties has her own charm!"
"No, I have to think of a way!"
Zeng Ping was extremely jealous, his eyes constantly darting between Xia Xue, Tian Mengyao, and Song Yue.
"Kid, call whomever you want. If I get scared, I'll call you Grandpa!"
Zeng Ping looked at Xia Xue and said with a smile, "If you can't find anyone useful, I won't make things difficult for you. Just spend the evening drinking with me."
Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance.
Everyone turned to look and saw over thirty men in suits pouring in like a tide.
Zeng Ping was instantly stunned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
The onlookers saw this and quickly backed away.
Everyone could tell these were not good people, and a fight might break out at any moment.
"Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
Zeng Ping recognized the dark-skinned, stern-faced middle-aged man walking at the front.
When he used to work at bars, Li Si was a renowned figure in Yunqing City.
Although he had his own crew back then, he wasn't even worthy of carrying Li Si's shoes.
"Fourth Brother, what is this..."
After much thought, Zeng Ping suddenly looked back at Lin Fan, thinking, "Could this kid know Li Si? It doesn't seem like it!"
Li Si walked up to Zeng Ping and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Zeng Ping gave a sheepish smile, "Fourth Brother, don't joke around. We've drunk together before, how could I not recognize you!"
Li Si's face was stern, showing no intention of catching up with Zeng Ping.
Even though Zeng Ping was doing well in business now, in Li Si's eyes, Zeng Ping was insignificant.
In terms of wealth, influence, and background, they were not on the same level.
Li Si looked around, and finally his gaze landed on Lin Fan's face. He asked, "Are you a friend of my boss?"
Lin Fan was taken aback and replied, "You mean Zhou Yi, Sister Zhou?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Si stepped forward and shook Lin Fan's hand, "I apologize for the fright. Let's talk outside, my boss will be here shortly."
"Okay."
Lin Fan nodded, then followed Li Si outside with his sister-in-law and Song Yue.
At the same time, Li Si's subordinates stepped aside in unison.
Their movements were so swift and clean that anyone unfamiliar would have thought they were filming a movie.
"Fourth Brother..."
Zeng Ping hurriedly chased after them.
He had lost all his earlier arrogance.
His heart was in turmoil, and he had a premonition of impending disaster.
Li Si stopped and turned to Zeng Ping, asking, "Do you know who my boss is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi arrived with Xiao Zheng, walking gracefully.
He thought for a moment, and out of consideration for their past acquaintance in the underworld, he quietly told Zeng Ping, "That's my boss. Don't provoke her anger later, or I'll deal with you right here!"
Zeng Ping nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. The chairman of Xinghe Group. Even if you gave me ten thousand times the courage, I wouldn't dare provoke her!"
His success in business was due to his smooth dealings and his ability to schmooze.
Zhou Yi was a prominent figure in Yunqing City, and he couldn't wait to curry favor with her.
"Knowing that, you still dare to provoke Chairman Zhou's friend?"
Li Si glared at him, looking at him like a fish on a cutting board.
"Master Lin, are you alright?"
Zhou Yi spotted Lin Fan in the crowd and called out with concern.
"Sister Zhou, you can call me by my name or Xiao Fan. I'm not used to other names, and they're not appropriate."
Lin Fan smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
Li Si approached Zhou Yi with lowered eyebrows and said, "Boss, next..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Yi waved her hand, interrupting him, "What are you waiting for? Do I need to tell you what to do?"
"Understood."
Li Si nodded, then gestured to his subordinates, "Smash it!"
At his command, the subordinates moved in unison.
The salesclerks at Jinjing screamed and scattered in fear.
Crash...
Bang bang bang...
The more than thirty men in black didn't say a word. They smashed everything in sight except people.
Everyone on the second floor, including shop staff and customers, gathered to watch the spectacle.
Who would dare to provoke the renowned Li Si?
"Fourth Brother..."
Zeng Ping rushed in front of Li Si, begging for mercy, "Stop smashing, stop smashing, Fourth Brother..."
"Get lost!"
Li Si raised his foot and kicked Zeng Ping fiercely in the stomach.
Bang!
A dull thud.
Zeng Ping was sent flying three meters away like a dead dog and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Zhou Yi turned around and was momentarily stunned by the three beautiful women beside Lin Fan. She immediately put on a kind smile and said to Lin Fan, "Xiao Fan, let's not stand here. Let's go to my car for a drink."
She linked her arm through Lin Fan's and smiled at the three beauties, "Are you Xiao Fan's relatives? Come, let's all go together."
"Oh."
Xia Xue responded.
She exchanged glances with Song Yue, seeing "confusion" in each other's eyes.
Behind them, the sounds of smashing continued to echo loudly.
Li Si personally directed the operation, even bending the shop's security doors!
Zeng Ping lay on the ground. His stomach no longer hurt, but his heart was bleeding.
That was all money!
It was over, all his work for the past three to two years was for nothing!
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was leisurely getting into an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Zhou Yi was the second to get into the car, followed by Xia Xue and Song Yue.
Tian Mengyao hesitated for a moment and was the last to enter the car.
"Oh my!"
Zhou Yi nudged Lin Fan and teased, "You have an all-female entourage!"
Lin Fan smiled awkwardly and introduced, "These are my friends, Sister Zhou."
He pointed to Xia Xue, "This is my sister-in-law."
"Hello, Sister Zhou."
Xia Xue was very reserved and politely greeted Zhou Yi.
"Xiao Fan, your sister-in-law is so beautiful, she's absolutely lovely to look at!"
Zhou Yi took off a string of beads from her wrist and offered it to Xia Xue, smiling, "It's not much, just a small token of my appreciation, a meeting gift."
"No, no..."
Xia Xue refused without even looking at what it was.
"Take it. Xiao Fan calls me Sister Zhou, what kind of relationship do we have!"
Zhou Yi insisted on giving it, and Xia Xue insisted on refusing.
Lin Fan saw them pushing and shoving and advised, "Sister-in-law, please accept it."
He was confident in his own abilities and wasn't worried about owing this favor.
"Then..."
Xia Xue reluctantly accepted.
Lin Fan pointed to Song Yue and continued, "This is my classmate Song Yue, she also works at my clinic."
"Hello, hello."
Zhou Yi smiled, but her attitude towards Song Yue was clearly less warm than towards Xia Xue.
She shifted her position, took a box of imported milk from the refrigerator, and handed it to Song Yue, saying with a smile, "Are you hungry, child? Have this."
Song Yue took the milk and thanked her, "Thank you!"
