Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin
Chapter 106 The Intimidating Force of a Billionaire
"Mr. Liu, what a coincidence. We bump into each other while having dinner." The man in the burgundy suit spoke with obvious frivolity. "How about we share a table? I've opened a bottle of '82 Lafite."
The gold-embossed business card rested on the glass tabletop.
Liu Xue didn't even look up. She continued cutting the vegetable salad on her plate with her knife and fork. The metal blade scraped against the porcelain plate with a soft, sizzling sound.
This man's name is Wang Kai. His family is in the medical equipment business. The company is quite large, with assets worth over a billion yuan.
For the past two weeks, this person has been going to Liu's Pharmacy every day. Sending flowers, bags, jewelry—the variety is endless, it's incredibly annoying.
Liu Xue had absolutely no interest in these rich kids who flaunted their family's wealth. She didn't even want to say a word more.
Wang Kai wasn't annoyed that Liu Xue was ignoring him.
He'd seen plenty of these aloof female CEOs. The colder they were, the greater the sense of accomplishment when he finally got them.
He held his wine glass and walked around the corner of the table.
He pulled out the chair opposite Liu Xue and plopped down in it.
This spot belongs to Li Yichen.
Liu Xiaoyu stopped eating. Her face instantly tightened.
"Sir," Liu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "this seat is taken. Please leave."
Wang Kai leaned back in his chair, swirling the wine glass in his hand.
"Someone's here? Who?" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Liu Xiaoyu's face with undisguised aggression. "In this revolving restaurant at the Oriental Pearl Tower, I, Wang Kai, can sit wherever I want. What, do your friends have more influence than me?"
Liu Xue put down her cutlery.
She stared coldly at Wang Kai.
"Wang Kai, I'm saying this one last time," Liu Xue said coldly, "I have no interest in you. Now, get up from that position right now and get out of my sight."
Wang Kai was publicly humiliated. His face twitched slightly.
"Liu Xue, don't push your luck." He slammed his wine glass down on the table. "I'm doing you a favor by pursuing you. Everyone in the industry knows that Liu's Pharmaceuticals almost went bankrupt recently. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"
He leaned forward.
Just then.
Li Yichen carried two white porcelain plates filled with food, walking around the ice sculpture decorations.
His gaze fell on his own table.
A man in a burgundy suit sat in his seat, legs crossed, gesturing and pointing at Liu Xue.
Li Yichen didn't stop walking. His leather shoes stomped silently on the carpet.
These days, even eating a meal can't be peaceful.
Where did this idiot come from? Daring to steal a seat? If I let him sit here peacefully today, this meal will be disgusting. Reasoning with this kind of trash who can't understand human language is a waste of time. Physical exorcism is the most effective.
He walked to the table.
He slammed the two plates onto the table.
The sound of the porcelain colliding was extremely loud.
Wang Kai was interrupted. He turned his head in displeasure, about to utter a curse.
Before he could even see the person's face clearly...
Li Yichen freed his right hand and grabbed Wang Kai by the back of his suit collar.
The arm muscles tensed instantly. Force was applied upwards.
He lifted a grown man weighing over 140 pounds off the chair with one hand.
Both feet off the ground.
Wang Kai dropped his wine glass onto the carpet. The dark red wine splattered, staining the dark gray wool carpet.
Li Yichen turned around and swung his arm outward.
boom.
Wang Kai was thrown into the aisle. He fell flat on his back.
His back slammed onto the floor with a dull thud.
Liu Xiaoyu's mouth was open. Her breathing had stopped.
The movements were incredibly swift. Without a single wasted word, he attacked directly. That blatant arrogance shattered the refined manners she was used to seeing. This extreme, violent aesthetic made her heart race wildly.
Liu Xue leaned back in her chair. Her heart pounded against her ribs.
She'd seen men scheming and plotting in the business world, and hypocrites in suits spouting platitudes about morality. But she'd never seen a man who would throw someone out at the slightest disagreement.
Brutal. But extremely stress-relieving.
The guests at the next few tables were completely dumbfounded.
The young man who was cutting steak had his knife slip and fall onto the plate.
His girlfriend was just about to put a piece of spaghetti in her mouth when her fork stopped in mid-air and the pasta fell back into the plate.
This is the revolving restaurant at the Oriental Pearl Tower. Everyone who comes and goes here is either extremely wealthy or powerful. To start a fight here? Has this person gone mad?
Wang Kai struggled on the ground for a moment, then got up.
The burgundy haute couture suit was completely wrinkled. The tie was askew on his shoulder. His hair was a mess.
My back is burning with pain.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Wang Kai pointed at Li Yichen and cursed, spitting everywhere.
Do you know who I am?
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. To be thrown to the ground like a chick in front of the woman he loved. He'd lost all face today.
Li Yichen pulled out the chair that Wang Kai had just sat in.
sit down.
He grabbed a napkin and slowly wiped his right hand.
"I don't need to know who you are." He crumpled the paper and threw it on the corner of the table.
Raise your head.
All I know is that you sat where you shouldn't have.
Wang Kai was trembling with anger. His face turned a deep purplish-red.
More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle. Whispers reached his ears.
"Isn't this Young Master Wang from Hyatt Healthcare?"
"It's him. His family has assets worth over a billion. He's usually very arrogant."
"Who is this young man? He dares to hit Young Master Wang; he's probably in big trouble."
Hearing these comments, Wang Kai felt even more confident.
He took a step forward. His finger almost poked Li Yichen's nose.
"Fine! You've got guts!" Wang Kai gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage.
"Dare to leave your name?"
"I'm telling you, I'm going to make sure you can't stay in Shanghai!"
Li Yichen leaned back in his chair.
Laughed.
"You're making it impossible for me to make a living?" That line is so overused.
"Oh?" Li Yichen tapped his fingers twice on the table.
"You can make it impossible for me to make a living in Shanghai? Interesting."
He paused for a second.
"In that case, I will tell you my name."
"I want to see how you've made it impossible for me to make a living in Shanghai."
Li Yichen withdrew his hand and placed his hands crossed on his knees.
"I've got it."
"My name is Li Yichen."
Li Yichen.
These three words landed on the aisle.
Wang Kai had prepared a whole string of profanities, but they instantly got stuck in his throat.
He was completely stunned, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
Li Yichen?
This name has been making headlines in Shanghai's upper-class circles lately.
The owner of Future Technology acquired Hongyuan New Energy for 8 billion yuan in cash. He just invested 30 billion yuan to build a super factory in Pudong. This morning, at the press conference for Liu's Pharmaceutical, he casually donated 50% of his profits to charity.
Rumor has it that this person is worth at least tens of billions, with an unfathomable background. People in the industry are speculating that he is a top young master from some powerful family in Beijing who has come out to gain experience.
Wang Kai's legs began to tremble.
His family's small, run-down medical equipment company, at most worth a few billion yuan, isn't even a fraction of Future Technology's revenue.
If they really anger this guy, their financial lifeline could be completely cut off first thing tomorrow morning, leading to bankruptcy and liquidation. Li Yichen wouldn't even need to personally intervene; just spreading the word would be enough for those capitalists in Shanghai who want to curry favor with Future Technology to tear Kaiyue Medical to shreds.
Wang Kai's face turned deathly pale. It was completely bloodless. A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
face?
What's the point of saving face? I'm about to lose my life.
He suddenly bent over, bowing at a ninety-degree angle.
"President Li! President Li, I'm so sorry!" Wang Kai's voice trembled, clearly on the verge of tears.
"I was blind! I offended you because I was so blind!"
"You're so magnanimous, just ignore me!"
The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago they were so arrogant that they thought it was impossible for anyone to survive in Shanghai, but after hearing one of their names, they immediately bowed and begged for mercy?
The businessman holding the wine glass didn't even notice that the wine had spilled on his trousers.
Who exactly is this Li Yichen? How could his name alone scare a rich second-generation heir with a net worth of over a billion to this extent?
Li Yichen picked up the chopsticks on the table and took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
He didn't even glance at Wang Kai.
"roll."
One word: Light and airy.
Wang Kai felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He even abandoned the wine glass that had fallen to the ground and turned to run. His high-heeled shoes made a chaotic clattering sound as he fled down the corridor.
They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The noisy little episode came to an end.
Outside the window, the dazzling night view of Shanghai unfolds. Cruise ships on the Huangpu River are illuminated with neon lights, casting long, rippling waves on the water's surface.
The table was laden with exquisite and abundant buffet food.
Li Yichen put the ribs into Liu Xiaoyu's plate.
He turned to look at Liu Xue.
"Beautiful Liu." Li Yichen picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
"Looks like you're quite charming. You even run into suitors while having a meal."
He put down his water glass. He flicked his finger against the glass.
"You won't be upset that I chased away your protector, will you?"
A blush instantly spread across Liu Xue's fair cheeks, reaching all the way to her ears.
She's usually decisive and efficient at work, but now she seems a bit flustered.
"Mr. Li, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xue quickly waved her hand, her fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the tablecloth.
"I have nothing to do with him."
"This guy has been coming to the company every day lately, and I've clearly refused him several times. But he's so shameless, there's nothing I can do."
She spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Li Yichen would misunderstand and think she had some kind of connection with that kind of spoiled brat.
Li Yichen leaned back in his chair.
Just kidding.
Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
She picked up the cutlery from the table. The night view outside was beautiful. The conflict earlier hadn't ruined her mood at all; instead, it had completely dispelled the tension from work.
This man possesses a quality that inspires extreme reassurance. As long as he's there, even if the sky were to fall, he could hold it up with one hand.
"It's not easy to have dinner with President Li," Liu Xue suggested softly. Her voice was several degrees softer than usual.
"The atmosphere is so nice, how about we grab some beers and relax?"
Li Yichen nodded.
"Can."
He stood up and walked back to the dining area.
His silhouette in the bespoke suit was striking and elegant. Walking through the restaurant, he attracted the attention of many female customers.
When he returned, Li Yichen was carrying six bottles of chilled Corona. Three clean glasses were tucked between his fingers.
Condensate dripped down the green wine bottle and onto the carpet.
He placed the wine bottle and glasses on the table.
The bottle cap was pried open with a screwdriver, producing a crisp "sizzle" sound.
White steam billowed from the bottle opening, carrying the aroma of malt.
Li Yichen filled both glasses. The golden liquid churned and produced white foam.
They pushed it in front of Liu Xue and Liu Xiaoyu.
He picked up the whole bottle himself.
"Let's have a try."
The three containers collided. The glass made a crisp, echoing sound.
