123: Pick it up

General Niu's face was extremely grim.

He hadn't expected Qian Ziyong to blurt out his demand for twenty million without hesitation!

Now everyone around knew he was asking for twenty million, and if he took the money, he would immediately go to jail for extortion.

"Hmph!" General Niu snorted, "When did I ask you for money?"

"I was just informing you that your Hot Pot Restaurant and Feihuang Supermarket are not up to fire safety standards!"

After shouting loudly, General Niu glared at Qian Ziyong and said in a voice only he and Qian Ziyong could hear, "Kid, you've provoked me!"

"Even if you give me twenty million now, this matter isn't over!"

"I'm shutting down the Hot Pot Restaurant and Feihuang Supermarket for good; no one can save you!"

Qian Ziyong sneered, "Is that so?"

"Then I thank you!"

"I'll be waiting for the notice of suspension for rectification!"

Qian Ziyong had long wanted to close the Hot Pot Restaurant and Feihuang Supermarket.

He knew that the Hot Pot Restaurant and Feihuang Supermarket had been making him money, so much that it made him anxious.

But he had no reason to close the Hot Pot Restaurant and Feihuang Supermarket.

Without a proper reason, he couldn't close the stores!

Because the system required everything to be reasonable; at the very least, he couldn't let others suspect he was deliberately losing money.

If he were to dismiss all employees and close a profitable business for no reason, customers would surely wonder if he had lost his mind.

Now that General Niu had given him a reason to close the stores, Qian Ziyong couldn't be happier.

It would be best if they remained closed for a longer time.

This way, Qian Ziyong could legitimately declare Feihuang Supermarket bankrupt.

The reason would be compelling: threatened by evil forces, unable to continue operations, and forced to close down.

Customers would only sympathize with him and wouldn't suspect him of being crazy.

Qian Ziyong had already planned to close Feihuang Supermarket and the Hot Pot Restaurant, then transfer all the money from their accounts to the Milk Tea Shop.

Afterward, with Liu Gaoda's help, he would lose all the money.

Then, from the two hundred million system funds for this cycle, he could at least pocket one hundred and fifty million!

One hundred and fifty million! He could buy three villas he desired!

Qian Ziyong looked at General Niu and said, "Close them! Make my Feihuang Supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant close down!"

"I'm waiting for you!"

"Please don't disappoint me!"

Seeing no fear in Qian Ziyong's eyes, General Niu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You're very good!"

"You're smiling so happily now, but there will be a time for you to cry."

"Right now, you're President Qian, everyone flatters you, and life is smooth. But when you run out of money, you'll realize how important money is!"

"With money, you have everything. Those who go against money are the biggest fools!"

From General Niu's words, it was clear that he hoped Qian Ziyong would change his mind.

As long as Qian Ziyong gave him more money, everything would be negotiable.

Qian Ziyong merely shrugged, "I know money is important, so hurry up and close all my stores!"

Qian Ziyong really wanted to live the life of a rich person, and he had already experienced it, so he was impatient.

Therefore, he desperately hoped that General Niu could close his stores.

Seeing that no amount of threats worked on Qian Ziyong, who was completely unyielding, General Niu felt like he was punching cotton.

He felt very frustrated, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.

"You're very good!" He suddenly exerted force and roared, overturning the table.

hot pot spilled everywhere, and everyone quickly retreated.

The employees were on alert, holding stools, ready to join the fight at any moment.

"Qian Ziyong, you're something else, just you wait!" General Niu glared at Qian Ziyong, waved his hand, and was about to leave with his brothers.

"Wait!" Qian Ziyong said.

General Niu turned around, a smile appearing on his face, "What, have you come to your senses?"

General Niu thought Qian Ziyong had changed his mind and was ready to compromise by paying.

Qian Ziyong didn't look at General Niu, his gaze fixed on the ground, "Intentionally damaging property, and you want to leave without paying? I'll call the police. Before the police arrive, no one is leaving!"

"Also, pay for today's meal!"

Hearing Qian Ziyong tell him to pay and compensate, General Niu was furious, "You're telling me to pay?"

"I, General Niu, never pay when I eat anywhere in Han City!"

"You're telling me to pay?!"

Qian Ziyong waved his hand and said, "Close the main door. It seems someone is determined to dine and dash today!"

"Until the police arrive and the bill is paid, none of you eleven people are leaving!"

Qian Ziyong stepped forward and looked coldly at General Niu.

Although Qian Ziyong had no tattoos, one could feel the powerful oppressive aura around him.

As a boss with thousands of subordinates, Qian Ziyong already possessed the demeanor of a boss!

"I don't care who you are!"

"Nor do I care who your uncle is!"

"Even if a Heavenly King came, if he eats in my store, he has to pay!"

"If you damage my property, you have to compensate at the market price!"

The surrounding employees gathered, encircling the eleven of them.

They couldn't even get out of the private room, let alone the main door.

General Niu was seething with rage.

Since his uncle became the head of the fire department, this was the first time someone had shown him such disrespect.

He had lost a lot of face today.

The crucial point was that he hadn't brought many people, and he was no match for Qian Ziyong.

General Niu pulled a card from his pocket and slammed it towards Qian Ziyong's chest.

Qian Ziyong had already been on guard and quickly dodged to the side.

General Niu's arm hit nothing, and the card in his hand fell to the ground.

Everyone glared at General Niu, how dared he attack their boss?

As soon as Qian Ziyong gave the order, the chairs in their hands would immediately smash down.

Qian Ziyong said indifferently, "I knew it, people like you only resort to petty tricks and dishonorable actions."

"I'm too lazy to bother with you, just pay!"

General Niu said, "The card is on the ground, pick it up!"

Qian Ziyong, of course, wouldn't pick it up, "I didn't see it!"

"What you dropped, of course, you pick up."

"You want me to pick up what you dropped? Are you worthy?"

General Niu clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could punch Qian Ziyong to death.

General Niu naturally couldn't pick up the card from the ground. If he bent down now, he would lose a lot of face and become a laughingstock.

There were countless customers around, and today's incident would surely spread.

General Niu couldn't bend down, but without paying, he couldn't leave the Hot Pot Restaurant today, which put him in a difficult position.

Fortunately, his subordinate behind him was sensible and immediately bent down to pick it up.

However, Qian Ziyong lifted his foot and stepped on the card, kicking it out of the private room.

"What are you doing?!" General Niu roared.

Qian Ziyong said indifferently, "I seemed to have stepped on some trash just now. I don't know who is so uncivilized as to litter."

"I just kicked the trash out to prevent it from affecting your dining mood!"

Qian Ziyong looked around on the ground, then slapped his forehead:

"Oh, I forgot, you guys overturned the tables, so you don't seem to want to eat!"

"Whoever threw the trash, go pick it up!"

"Or if you don't want it, I'll sweep it out."

General Niu narrowed his eyes.

He could clearly see that Qian Ziyong was taking revenge for that earlier slap!
