After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"We have already communicated with the property management, and they said that the right to use the exterior wall belongs to the building, and we have the right to hang the banner."

An employee in charge of logistics chimed in indignantly, "But that Zhai Guiwen is completely unreasonable. He said it was blocking the feng shui of his window and affecting the guests' meals."

"Chairman Lin, Zhai Guiwen did it on purpose!"

Another employee chimed in, "He used to be very close to Wang Sheng; they often drank and went to brothels together."

"He knows that our Lin's Enterprises drove the Wang family away, so he's deliberately making things difficult for us, trying to avenge Wang Sheng!"

"Wang Sheng?"

Lin Li was taken aback when he heard the name; he hadn't thought of this person in a long time.

However, the Wang family has already fallen, and that old bastard Wang Sheng is probably hiding in some ditch, barely clinging to life. I never expected that there would be such a foolish "friend" who would jump out to pledge his loyalty?

"interesting."

Lin Li found this rather amusing and laughed, "Since he wants to stand up for Wang Sheng, then I'll go and meet him."

……

Wenyuan Restaurant, third floor lobby.

The restaurant is decorated quite elegantly, following a retro Chinese style, with mahogany tables and chairs, and carved window frames, making it look quite authentic.

It was lunchtime, but there were only a few scattered tables of customers in the hall, making it seem rather deserted.

A middle-aged man with an overweight build was sitting behind the cashier with his legs crossed, looking disdainful.

He is Zhai Guiwen.

"Boss Zhai, we really came here with sincerity."

Although Lin Yuehua was angry, she patiently said, "We'll only hang it up for one day. We'll take it down as soon as the ceremony is over tomorrow."

"Furthermore, we are willing to pay 100,000 yuan as 'sunscreen fee' as compensation for the inconvenience caused. Is that acceptable to you?"

One hundred thousand for a banner to hang for a day—that's already an astronomical price.

But Zhai Guiwen didn't even raise an eyelid, scoffing, "One hundred thousand? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? My Wenyuan Restaurant makes hundreds of thousands, even millions a day!"

"Your rag is blocking my light and ruining my feng shui. No customers will come in. Can you afford to compensate for this loss?"

"you!"

Lei Xiangqing, with her fiery temper, couldn't tolerate such a scoundrel. She slammed her hand on the cash register: "You fatso! Don't push your luck!"

"Your shabby shop hasn't had a single customer all day, so where did you get tens or hundreds of thousands in revenue? I think you're just deliberately trying to cause trouble!"

She was wearing a black leather outfit today, and her figure was stunning. When she got angry, she was even more imposing.

Zhai Guiwen was startled, but then he remembered that he was on his own turf, and he suddenly got excited.

"Hey, what's up?"

He stretched his large head forward, pointed at his face, and provocatively said, "Want to hit someone? Come on, hit me here!"

"Let me tell you, if you dare lay a finger on me today, I'll lie down in front of your company tomorrow and turn your opening ceremony into a bankruptcy ceremony!"

"Who do you think you are? Lin's Enterprises? Bah!"

Zhai Guiwen spat and said sarcastically, "Who doesn't know that this company is owned by Lin Li, that rapist who just got out of prison?"

"What, you can't run a legitimate business anymore, so you've turned to banditry? Who are you trying to scare with a bunch of sluts?"

"Who are you calling a hooligan?"

Lin Li led Yao Chengrou in and looked Zhai Guiwen up and down.

When Zhai Guiwen saw Lin Li, his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Lin Li has recently become quite famous in Jiangcheng, even the Che family has been thoroughly humiliated by him.

But then he thought again, his younger brother was a powerful figure in the tax bureau. If he backed down now, how would he ever get along in the industry again?

"Oh, the main character has arrived?"

Zhai Guiwen sneered, "Young Master Lin, what a show of power you have."

He deliberately looked Lin Li up and down, and said sarcastically, "What's wrong? It's opening tomorrow, and you can't even get a decent guest for the ribbon-cutting ceremony? Are you relying on those shady characters to fill the space?"

"I advise you not to hang any banners. It'll only make you look foolish, and if no one comes to congratulate you, that would be a real joke!"

Fearing that Lin Li would act impulsively, Lin Yuehua quickly grabbed his arm: "Xiao Li, don't take it to heart."

"Boss Zhai, let's not beat around the bush. What do you want in return for letting us hang up the banner?"

Seeing that Lin Li didn't speak, Zhai Guiwen became even more arrogant.

"Want to hang a banner? Sure!"

He held up three fingers and shook them: "Wang Sheng used to dine here and owes me three million in total. Since your Lin family took Wang Sheng's things, shouldn't you pay off this debt for him?"

"As long as you return this three million, I'll not only let you hang up banners, I'll even close my restaurant for a day tomorrow to make room for you!"

No one spoke; everyone looked at Zhai Guiwen with expressions that said, "Are you crazy?"

"This is extortion!"

Yao Chengrou looked at Zhai Guiwen and frowned, saying, "Why should we pay back the money Wang Sheng owes? And how could Wang Sheng possibly owe you three million yuan for meals? Are you including the cost of meals for the next ten years?"

"Anyway, I've put the conditions here."

Zhai Guiwen shrugged shamelessly, "Pay up, hang the banner; don't pay, get lost!"

Lin Li suddenly chuckled.

He had originally thought that if it was a normal business dispute, he would just pay more money and let it go.

But since the other party is trying to extort money from us, and it's all because of that scumbag Wang Sheng...

"Three million?"

Lin Li stared at Zhai Guiwen, his tone calm: "I have the money, but I'm afraid you won't live to take it."

"What...what do you mean?"

Zhai Guiwen was startled by his gaze and quickly said, "This is a society governed by law now, you wouldn't dare to kill someone, would you?!"

"Let's go."

Lin Li, too lazy to argue any further, stopped Lei Xiangqing, who was still trying to argue with Lin Yuehua, and turned to leave.

"A small gift? What about the banner?"

Lin Yuehua was surprised that her nephew had given up and asked anxiously.

"No need to beg him."

Lin Li walked out without looking back, saying, "This kind of trash isn't even worthy of negotiating with me."

Zhai Guiwen was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Cowards! Lame cowards! You don't even have a place to hang your banners? Let's see how you open for business tomorrow!"

Zhai Wen, who had been hiding in the back office, came out and asked worriedly, "Dad...aren't you being too ruthless?"

She looked at her father and whispered, "I heard that this Lin Li is very ruthless. He even crippled the young master of the Che family."

"Our family runs a restaurant business, why would we want to provoke such a jinx?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Zhai Guiwen scoffed, "Your second uncle is the deputy director of the tax bureau; he's in charge of taxes in this area!"

"If he dares to touch me, I'll have your second uncle investigate his company thoroughly! I'll make sure his lousy company goes bankrupt before it even opens!"

"And I've already made up my mind."

Remembering Lin Li's earlier insults, Zhai Guiwen said maliciously, "Tomorrow, as soon as their opening ceremony starts, I'll have someone play promotional announcements at the entrance, at full volume! It'll disgust them!"
