Well said. Refraining from hitting someone in the face and exposing their shortcomings is a virtue for a gentleman. Once the mask is removed, a villain no longer cares about your feelings. In Zhao Sihai's cunning mind, he probably wanted to crush Li Zhi to death a long time ago. Why would he care about sparing his feelings?
Ah Hu's gaze at Li Zhi made him uncomfortable. The middle-aged man's eyes were sharp, piercing through him like a knife.
"What are you looking at?" Didn't you hear what Old Zhao said? Move the car quickly. "I have a lot of people coming and going, and it's affecting my business!" Li Zhi retorted, glaring at him.
A villain! A troublemaker!
And a fearless troublemaker at that. With a stick in hand, he could poke a hole in the sky. Mo Yanxiu knew to avoid people like Li Zhi as much as possible. If you can't avoid them, don't provoke them unnecessarily. He didn't care about anything else.
Li Zhi deliberately displayed his ruthlessness. If you want to be feared, you have to be more ruthless than the other person.
The Zhao family is wealthy and influential in Haicheng. Therefore, he had to display a hint of madness, at least in the eyes of others, to make them believe he is a madman.
In fact, when Zhao Sihai appeared today, Li Zhi's mind was already at work, trying to decipher the old fox's intentions. His personal appearance far exceeded Li Zhi's expectations. In Li Zhi's opinion, Zhao Sihai's current appearance was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. His "target" today was only Zhao Xueying, so he didn't expect Zhao Sihai to come.
But since he's here, Li Zhi doesn't care.
As long as this old bastard doesn't die, Li Zhi always felt that the two of them would clash for no reason, just a gut feeling.
The feeling he had when he saw Old Zhao in the hospital last time was not as strong, but today, it was very intense. Li Zhi never considered the reliability of his gut feeling, and he was indifferent. He was willing to confront anyone. "Go ahead!"
When Zhao Sihai gave the order, Ah Hu averted his gaze and proceeded to move the car.
Li Zhi signaled to the woman beside him, Meng Ruping, to handle the hospitality, as she was a professional, and it was better to have a server from the Falling Star Tower.
As for Huang Fatty, he didn't dare to approach Zhao Sihai and quickly ran away after exchanging a few words with Li Zhi. Facing Zhao Xueying, Huang Fatty could handle it, but when he saw Zhao Sihai, he hid behind Li Zhi, looking like a mouse seeing a cat.
This is understandable. After all, a person's reputation precedes them, and Zhao Sihai's reputation in Haicheng is significant. Not everyone is as fearless as Li Zhi, who dares to confront anyone.
When Zhao Xueying passed by Li Zhi, she glared at him fiercely.
Li Zhi didn't even look at her properly.
Today, the most important person is not Zhao Sihai or Zhao Xueying, but Mo Yanxiu. Only she has the authority to evaluate the quality of the Falling Star Tower.
Li Zhi didn't follow them into the Falling Star Tower. "Zhao Sihai is here." "Why aren't you going in?" Zhu Ge Meili, who was following Li Zhi, also chose not to enter.
Li Zhi looked at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock, and according to his calculations, Dong Yingxue should be off work and on her way. Zhao Sihai came to cause trouble, Mo Yanxiu is a food critic, and Huang Fatty invited several well-known foodies from Haicheng. But are these people important to Li Zhi?
Not at all!
He didn't care about their feelings, but he cared about Dong Yingxue. He wanted to wait for her to arrive before starting the tasting.
It's not about showing off; Li Zhi simply wanted Dong Yingxue to feel valued by him!
Zhu Ge Meili looked at Li Zhi, who was silent, and jokingly asked, "Are you waiting for my sister to arrive?"
Li Zhi turned his gaze back and smiled, "Yes, why don't you give her a call and ask when she'll be here?"
"Why don't you call her yourself?" Zhu Ge Meili blinked and asked.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's not very convenient for me to call." When we taste the dishes later, I'll have the chef save the best for you. Deal? If not, I'll call myself!
Zhu Ge Meili playfully said, "From now on, when I come here to eat, you're not allowed to ask me for money." Deal. If not, you can call yourself!
Li Zhi rolled his eyes and took out his phone, muttering to himself as he dialed Dong Yingxue's number, "I don't mind anything, but I won't be taken advantage of." I'll call myself.
Did he really think he couldn't do without her? If she comes to the Falling Star Tower every day to freeload, how much money will he have to spend in a year? Li Zhi didn't want to support someone else's wife for nothing.
Zhu Ge Meili was speechless. She said, "Has anyone ever told you that you're despicable and shameless?"
"Thank you for the compliment." We're even. "You're not any better than me!" Li Zhi retorted as he dialed the phone, not minding a little banter with her.
"Me?" I'm much better than you. You don't have any masculine qualities at all. Zhu Ge Meili turned and walked away, muttering, "Hmph!"
"Have you tried it?" Li Zhi muttered as he watched her leave. He thought to himself, "Her backside in jeans is quite perky, but she's a bit unusual."
"Ying Xue, where are you?" Oh, just got off work? Is there traffic on the way? It's okay; take your time. I'm waiting for you at the door. "If you don't come, I won't be able to taste the dishes."
Dong Yingxue said she was still about ten minutes away. Li Zhi didn't rush her. Even if it took half an hour, he would still wait.
"Boss, the middle-aged man next to Zhao Sihai is not ordinary," Hei Zi didn't follow them in and came over to whisper to Li Zhi after he hung up the phone.
As a martial artist, he was highly attuned to killing intent. Both Hei Zi and Dong Xiaorou had studied under a renowned master of Xingyi Quan, so their martial arts skills were not to be underestimated.
"You mean Zhao Sihai's driver?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Hei Zi nodded, "Yes, I feel like he's killed before." "He's a master."
Have you killed before?
Li Zhi frowned, but quickly smiled again, "In public, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly." Besides, we are not pushovers. Anyone who wants to mess with us will have to pay a hefty price. "Don't worry, the Zhao family can't dominate everything in Haicheng."
"I'm not afraid of him," Hei Zi muttered. He was just reminding Li Zhi to be careful, but he himself wasn't afraid.
The strong fear the young, and Zhao Sihai's driver was already middle-aged, while Hei Zi was in the prime of his life. Who was stronger and who was weaker would only be known after a fight.
Dong Yingxue looked at Li Zhi waiting for her at the door of the Falling Star Tower and felt touched. She knew that many guests had come today. As the boss, his decision not to entertain them in the restaurant but to wait for her at the door indicated that she was more important to him than those guests.
"I'm here!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Dong Yingxue nodded and got out of the car. She parked the car at the restaurant's entrance for easy access.
Li Zhi didn't ask Zhao Sihai to park at the door, but he also didn't say anything to Dong Yingxue. It's his own doorstep, and he can park wherever he wants. Who would dare to object?
