Chapter 142: Borrowed Soldiers
"Put down the declaration of war, get out of here immediately, and don't affect our business. Liu Chen walked up to them, put his hands behind his back, and said disdainfully.
A small but burly bald head, a bit like Hollywood actor Vin Diesel, threw the declaration of war at Liu Chen, and pointed at Liu Chen and warned: "The surname Liu, you won't be arrogant for long." ”
Liu Chen said expressionlessly: "Pick it up." ”
Xiao Fan snorted contemptuously, ignoring Liu Chen's words.
"Pick it up!" Liu Chen raised his voice, and his face became even more cold.
Xiao Fan still put his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't have this obligation." ”
Suddenly, Liu Chen walked quickly in front of Xiao Fan, grabbed his arm and fell over the shoulder, and Xiao Fan was thrown heavily on the ground. Xiao Fan was about to get up, but Liu Chen stepped on his head and couldn't move.
"Give you one more chance, pick it up. Liu Chen said coldly.
Several other partners wanted to step forward to help, but when they saw Liu Chen's neat skills and fierce eyes, they all stopped, they were originally here to support the scene and send a declaration of war, so there was no need to be beaten.
Xiao Fan was about to be suffocated by the trampling, stretched out his hand with difficulty, and picked up the declaration of war that he threw on the ground, Liu Chen took the declaration of war, only then did he raise his foot and shouted: "Get out of me!"
Xiao Fan didn't have time to soothe his pain, so he got up and fled in dismay, and the others also ran out.
Liu Chen picked up the declaration of war and opened it, looked at the time and place written inside, and returned to the living room.
Seeing Liu Chen coming back, Ji Linyuan was the first to ask, "What's going on downstairs?" ”
Liu Chen casually threw the declaration of war on the table and said, "That fat cow has sent the declaration of war." ”
"You, do you really want to fight?" asked Ji Linyuan worriedly.
"Of course!"
Qi Dongsi listened to the conversation between the two of them, and reminded with a smile: "That fat cow is a master who is not easy to mess with, you have to be careful." ”
"Is it even worse than you to mess with?" Liu Chen also asked Qi Dongsi with a smile.
This question stopped Qi Dongsi, he took a sip of tea, smiled and said nothing, Liu Chen's meaning was very clear, he was not even afraid of himself, would he be afraid of that fat cow who was too angry, he was too worried.
In order to celebrate the smooth cooperation between the two sides, Ji Linyuan decided to banquet Qi Dongsi and others, the venue of the banquet should not only reflect his sincerity, but also conform to the identity of the other party, and must also be placed on an equal footing with both parties, and the third-party occasion is the best choice.
At the beginning, Ji Linyuan chose a newly opened restaurant nearby, which was opened by a friend of Ji Linyuan, and he originally wanted to make a show, but this choice was quickly vetoed by Liu Chen, because we had to show the greatest sincerity at the beginning, stand on the highest point of morality, occupy all the initiative, and in case we tear our faces one day in the future, we can strive for our maximum interests in public opinion.
Ji Linyuan didn't understand what Liu Chen meant, "Why did you just start cooperating, and you are sure that the two sides will tear their faces in the future?"
"Cooperation is based on interests, which in turn change as cooperation progresses, and when the interests of both parties are not at the same level, cooperation terminates. ”
At Liu Chen's suggestion, the venue for the banquet was chosen at Tianyu Restaurant.
It was not the first time that Tianyu Restaurant had come, Liu Chen greeted Zhang Zhiming in advance and booked a private room, and under the leadership of the waiter, he went to the private room in Guangzhou.
This private room was personally designated by Liu Chen, which has a special significance, the first place of cooperation between the two parties was in Guangzhou, Liu Chen chose this private room, naturally expressed his high appreciation for Qi Dongsi's initiative to cooperate.
Qi Dongsi was very surprised by this arrangement, because he had always thought that Liu Chen was not enthusiastic or even a little indifferent to this cooperation, but this banquet made him feel Liu Chen's intentions.
"In order to celebrate our cooperation, and thank you for the banquet, I salute the two of you!" Qi Dongsi picked up the full wine and got up to express his gratitude to Liu Chen and Ji Linyuan.
Others may not know, but Chen Ziqiang and Feng Jun know that their boss attaches great importance to this cooperation. Qi Dongsi has quit drinking for a long time, except for very important occasions and very important people, he does not drink at all. But that doesn't mean he won't drink, he finished all this half glass of liquor with his neck up.
"Good amount of wine. Liu Chen applauded Qi Dongsi's boldness.
Qi Dongsi smiled lightly, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and suddenly said to Liu Chen: "Regarding the matter with the fat cow, if there is anything you need my help with, you can come to me at any time." ”
Liu Chen put down the cup and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to help me? ”
Qi Dongsi explained: "You are helping you to ensure that our cooperation can go smoothly, and I don't want anything to happen to my partner and affect the cooperation." ”
"Hehe, it makes sense, but a fat cow, I can handle it alone, don't bother Mr. Qi. Liu Chen declined Qi Dongsi's kindness, because he knew that once he accepted Qi Dongsi's help, he would definitely become a passive party in the subsequent cooperation process, after all, eating people with soft mouths and short hands.
This banquet didn't last long, and they originally wanted to play here together, but Qi Dongsi and the others didn't like this kind of event, so they went back after eating.
Liu Chen stood at the door smoking a cigarette, looking at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the street, and Ji Linyuan was waiting for him while playing with his mobile phone.
"Why don't you go back first?" Liu Chen turned around and said.
Ji Linyuan stopped tapping his fingers on his phone, raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
"Go talk about something. ”
"Why can't you take me with you?" Ji Linyuan put away his phone and asked seriously, with a little begging in his words.
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Okay, let's go together." He threw away his cigarette butt and turned to head back to the Celestial Restaurant.
The two came to the front desk and waited, and a handsome little man in a shirt and vest walked towards them, he was sent by Zhang Zhiming to greet them.
The two followed the handsome little guy to a small room and made tea for them.
"The two of you are here for a while, and the third master will be here soon. The handsome little man politely withdrew.
Liu Chen held the hot teacup and waited quietly, Ji Linyuan looked around, there were fresh fruits and an ashtray on the small round table in front of him, this should be a small reception room.
"Is the third master that Zhang Zhiming?" asked Ji Linyuan. She and Zhang Zhiming have only met once, and they are not familiar with this person.
"Well, the third in the family, known as the third master, people who mix in this industry, people who have a certain status and identity, like to call Brother Daoye, hehe. Liu Chen patiently explained to Ji Linyuan.
Ji Linyuan took a sip of tea, "Then are you the same as them?"
"It's different, people call me brother, it's all because I'm old, and it has nothing to do with status, it's the same reason they call you sister in the Starlight Bar. ”
"Also, you're not the same as these bastards. Ji Linyuan looked at Liu Chen and smiled.
The two were chatting, Zhang Zhiming hurriedly opened the door and walked in, panting and apologizing: "I'm sorry two of you, you just had a meeting, so you have to wait for a long time." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with them.
Liu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, we haven't been sitting for long." ”
Zhang Zhiming shook hands with Ji Linyuan and said with a smile: "This must be the famous Starlight Bar Boss Ji, it is really the face of a sinking fish and a wild goose, haha." ”
Listening to Zhang Zhiming's exaggerated praise, Ji Linyuan blushed and said modestly: "Third master, you have won the award." She also secretly glanced at Liu Chen, although Liu Chen was used to her beauty, she still felt the proud eyes from Liu Chen.
After Zhang Zhiming sat down, he took out the Chinese cigarette in his bag and handed it to Liu Chen and Ji Linyuan, Liu Chen took the cigarette and said, "She doesn't smoke." ”
Ji Linyuan withdrew the hand he was about to raise, shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't smoke, hehe, thank you Third Master." ”
Zhang Zhiming took back the cigarette given to Ji Linyuan, "It's better for girls not to smoke." ”
This meeting was made by Liu Chen on his own initiative, and he expressed his intention to Zhang Zhiming and asked for his help. Zhang Zhiming is different from Qi Dongsi, he is a mixed man on the road, and it can be said that he is the same kind of person as the fat cow, so it will be much more convenient for him to come forward, but Qi Dongsi is different, not to mention the depth of the relationship, Liu Chen and Qi Dongsi are both cooperative relations and competitive relationships, and asking him to help is tantamount to admitting that he is inferior to him, which is absolutely impossible to do.
Zhang Zhiming squinted his eyes and chewed his cigarette: "I've heard about you and the fat cow, there are two or three hundred people on his side, right, it's really a lot, but we're not afraid, in a word, if you want to do it, you have to do it ruthlessly, I have hundreds of brothers, you can pick as many as you want, as many as you want." ”
Liu Chen was very grateful for Zhang Zhiming's generosity, and he said confidently: "Don't do so much, it's enough to lend me 30 people." ”
"What, 30 people?" Zhang Zhiming couldn't believe his ears, no matter how powerful these 30 people were, how could they be ten times as strong as his own people, he confirmed repeatedly.
Ji Linyuan on the side was also shocked by Liu Chen's words, she didn't know whether Liu Chen was optimistic or blindly confident, in short, it was too dangerous to take this risk, "Are you serious, Liu Chen?"
Liu Chen shook the cigarette ash in his hand and said with a smile: "Of course it is serious, in ancient wars, soldiers and horses were not about many, but about fine, I only need the most elite and capable 30 people in your hands, which is enough to deal with the rabble of fat cows." ”
"Okay, I'll immediately arrange the 30 most powerful people in my hands and let you command and dispatch them. Zhang Zhiming admired Liu Chen's extraordinary courage, and agreed to lend the most elite 30 people to Liu Chen without hesitation. Generally speaking, few people on the rivers and lakes will lend their elite to others, because once this kind of thing is messed up, it will greatly hurt their vitality or even collapse, Zhang Zhiming dared to agree to borrow people so readily, which shows his trust in Liu Chen.
"Then I will thank Brother Zhang, but please rest assured, I will return the 30 people to you unscathed. Liu Chen took out his cigarette and flew one in front of Zhang Zhiming, full of confidence and chic.
