Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Li Ze saw Bai Qianyue approaching and nodded politely.

Bai Qianyue walked up to Li Ze and stopped.

With a smile on her face, she began to speak:

"We meet again, Brother Li Ze."

This was said so naturally, as if they had just met yesterday.

Li Ze looked at Bai Qianyue, nodded, and said:

"Yes, we meet again."

At the same time, Li Ze turned his attention to what was behind Bai Qianyue.

He noticed that there were four men standing next to Bai Qianyue.

All four men were dressed in black Tang suits.

They are very tall and strong.

At first glance, these people don't look like the kind of bodyguards who are specifically responsible for protecting people.

Because they weren't wearing suits or sunglasses.

But once you take a closer look, you'll find it's quite unusual.

The eyes of these four men were constantly darting around.

They keep a close eye on everyone and everything around them, leaving no blind spots.

Their positioning was also very deliberate, perfectly surrounding Bai Qianyue in the middle to ensure her absolute safety.

Li Ze was all too familiar with this level of professionalism.

He knew very well that the movements and eyes of these men in Tang suits were almost identical to those of his cyborg subordinates.

Li Ze felt very strange.

He thought to himself:

Just who is Bai Qianyue? How come she has such professional staff around her? These kinds of people can't be hired just by spending some money.

Li Ze withdrew his gaze, looked at Bai Qianyue, and said directly:

"Asatsuki, I really didn't expect that you would actually open this coffee shop this morning, after you said you were going to open one on the phone yesterday."

"When I sat here yesterday, the shop next door was still available for rent, and there wasn't a single tenant."

"When I came here today, not only was the shop rented out, but the interior renovation was also completed, and the storefront was spotless."

"You managed to get all this done in one night; I have to admire your ability."

Bai Qianyue smiled when she heard Li Ze say that.

She looked into Li Ze's eyes and said in a very firm tone:

"Of course, I said I would open it, and I definitely will."

"I will definitely do what I decide to do."

Li Ze is a middle-aged man in his forties. Having been through so much in society, he could naturally tell the difference.

On the surface, Bai Qianyue was talking about opening a coffee shop, but in reality, there was another meaning behind her words.

She was telling Li Ze that she would do everything in her power to get what she wanted.

However, Li Ze just chuckled to himself.

He didn't take that meaning to heart at all.

He only has Zhang Ruoran in his heart now, so he feels it doesn't matter.

He didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, nor did he want to talk to her about these meaningless things.

So Li Ze changed the subject, looking at Bai Qianyue and asking:

"So you came all this way so early today, you didn't just come to buy flowers, did you?"

Bai Qianyue looked very happy when Li Ze asked her the question.

She nodded and said with a smile:

"Haha, so you found out about this, Brother Li Ze."

"I see that you have a lot of beautiful flowers here, many of which are varieties that can't be found elsewhere, so I decided to come and take a look today."

"After all, my new store just opened today, so I definitely need to decorate it with fresh flowers both inside and outside, right?"

"Why buy from you when you can buy from elsewhere? Consider it supporting your business."

Li Ze nodded upon hearing this answer.

Since they're here to buy flowers, they're guests.

He's open for business, so there's no reason for him to turn away customers.

However, Li Ze did not want to personally receive Bai Qianyue.

He didn't want to have too much contact with Bai Qianyue, lest Zhang Ruoran see it and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

So, Li Ze turned around, waved to the old man standing not far away, and said loudly:

"Hey, come here for a second."

Upon hearing the boss's call, the old man immediately strode over, stood respectfully beside Li Ze, and said:

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

Li Ze pointed at Bai Qianyue and said to Lao Yi:

"Take this lady to the shop to look at the flowers. If she needs anything, just tell her what you think she needs."

The older man nodded and replied:

"Understood, boss."

After saying that, the old man turned around, faced Bai Qianyue, and extended a hand, making a gesture of invitation.

He said calmly:

"Madam, please come with me."

Just as Lao Yi was about to approach Bai Qianyue and lead her into the flower shop.

Suddenly, the situation changed.

A man in a Tang suit standing behind Bai Qianyue stepped forward immediately.

The man in the Tang suit moved very quickly.

He used his tall stature to block the way between Lao Yi and Bai Qianyue.

He completely separated Lao Yi from Bai Qianyue.

The man in the Tang suit stared intently at the first man, his eyes filled with a warning.

When the old man saw someone blocking his way, he immediately stopped.

His facial expression remained unchanged, but his body tensed up instantly.

The two sides were very close.

The two men, Lao Yi and the man in the Tang suit, stared at each other and immediately began a standoff.

The air around us suddenly became tense.

Li Ze stood to the side, watching this scene without saying a word.

From the man in the Tang suit's actions, Lao Yi could tell at a glance that the other party was definitely not simple.

The opponent's footwork was very steady and his reaction speed was extremely fast; he was definitely a highly trained expert.

As the leader of the cyborgs, Lao Yi's main task is to protect Li Ze's safety and deal with troubles.

Now that the other party had taken this defensive action, Lao Yi immediately became more vigilant.

He had already quietly slipped one hand into his pocket.

In his pocket was a special summoning button.

This summoning button was a futuristic technology product that the system gifted to Li Ze after he completed a mission abroad.

It can teleport out of thin air.

As soon as Lao Yi presses this button, an army of cyborgs will immediately appear in the open space around him.

The first man's finger was already on the button, and he was even ready to press it.

He would immediately summon a large army to control the situation if the other side dared to make a move.

At this very tense moment.

Bai Qianyue looked at what was happening in front of her and smiled slightly.

She didn't seem flustered, but spoke in a very calm voice:

"First, there's no need for this. Step down."

Upon hearing Bai Qianyue's command.

The man in the Tang suit standing at the front immediately dropped his defensive posture.

He lowered his head and answered with a single word, very respectfully:

"clear."

Then, he and three other men in Tang suits took a few steps back.

They then retreated behind Bai Qianyue and stood in their positions again.

When Li Ze heard Bai Qianyue call the man in the Tang suit "Yi," he found it hilarious.

He thought to himself: Good grief, how come this person is also called "one"?

My bodyguard leader is called Lao Yi, and your bodyguard leader is also called Yi.

Do people all take naming things this easy?

Seeing that the other party had left, Lao Yi also took his hand out of his pocket.

Bai Qianyue turned her head to look at Li Ze, still maintaining that polite smile on her face.

She said to Li Ze:

"Brother Li Ze, you're the owner of this flower shop, you're most familiar with the flowers here."

"So I think it would be better if you introduced it to me personally, wouldn't you?"

Bai Qianyue spoke very politely, but her meaning was very clear: she wanted Li Ze to receive her personally.

Li Ze stood still, looking at Bai Qianyue.

He knew perfectly well that Bai Qianyue hadn't come here today to buy flowers at all.

She came here specifically for Li Ze.

If I reject her now, she'll definitely find other reasons to stay.

Li Ze sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.

He could only manage a helpless smile.

Since we can't avoid it, we can only face it.

Anyway, it's just an introduction to flowers.

Li Ze nodded to Bai Qianyue, then stepped aside.

He said calmly:

"Okay, please come in."

Bai Qianyue was very satisfied when she heard Li Ze agree.

Her smile became even brighter.

She smiled, nodded, said thank you, and then stepped into the flower shop with the protagonist, Li Ze.

At the entrance of the flower shop, only Lao Yi and the four men in Tang suits remained.

The old man stood on the left side of the door frame, wearing sunglasses.

The man in the Tang suit named "Yi" stood on the right side of the door frame.

The two sides' personnel stood staring at each other at the doorway.

No one spoke, but they were both wary of each other.
