Chapter 269 Chairman Liu Pays Zhang Han A Visit
“Poof… Ahem, ahem!”
Tian San choked on his drink, and his face turned red. After recovering, he asked again, “Can flowers and leaves really be used as weapons?”
“I don’t need to fool around with you.” Dong Xiangchuan gave him a dissatisfied stare.
“Fine, fine.”
At this point, Tian San was not arrogant anymore. He muttered in embarrassment, “I’m wrong. Ahem. I’m wrong.”
He had not expected that the man who showed up in the first video, to be a true Qi Strength Master. After repeated confirmation, Tian San was somewhat confused and thought the master was so lenient in that video. Those people were very lucky to have only their arms and legs broken, since they provoked a Qi Strength Master.
Liu Qingfeng sat steadily, holding a cup of tea in his hand. He was absent-minded and remained motionless for a long time. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
Dong Xiangchuan knew that Liu Qingfeng was trying to make out the master’s identity, so he poured himself another cup of tea.
Gurgle…
He drank it all and savored the fragrance. Then he ejected the USB from the laptop. After glancing at the three of them, he stood up, shook his head, then said,
“Well, thank you for your hospitality, Chairman Liu, I should leave now.”
“Ah, oh, well. Thank you for giving me the information, Director Dong. I will entertain you some other day. Xiao Ling, see off the guest.” Liu Qingfeng stood up and said.
Hearing what he said, Xiao Ling respectfully escorted Dong Xiangchuan to the door.
After he left, the room fell into silence again.
Liu Qingfeng pondered, lowering his head, while Tian San stood behind him and kept quiet.
“Which level is the invulnerable man at now?” Liu Qingfeng suddenly raised his head, turned to look at Tian San, and asked.
“I have no idea, but he could remain invincible by virtue of invulnerability. I think he is a Peak Strength Warrior, who is more powerful than me.” Tian San answered in a deep voice.
“Well…” Liu Qingfeng’s eyes narrowed and he murmured, “Zhao Feng, an Inward Strength Warrior, whose boss is a Qi Strength Master. Besides, the invulnerable malicious person is one of his men. Do you think they may be a…”
“Force.” Tian San’s eyes flashed, then he said, “Among the Qi Strength Masters in cities, seven out of ten are from family powers or sect forces, and the other three are also related to forces. Moreover, one cannot become a Qi Strength Master by right of his own cultivation, so…”
“That boss is most likely a person from a certain force. If not, he is basically connected with a great power.” Liu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “I’ll give you one day. You can use my contacts in New Moon Bay. I need to know the details about him before eleven o’clock tonight.”
“Okay.” Tian San nodded. Then he went out to make the arrangements.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Ling coming in, Liu Qingfeng waved his hand and said,
“Suspend all the recent cooperation and tasks concerning the CBD development.”
“Okay, Chairman Liu. Are you going to sign the two contracts this afternoon?” Xiao Ling asked.
“No. Just put them off for a few days.” Liu Qingfeng shook his head, “Go do your own work.”
“Okay.” Xiao Ling nodded and walked out of the room.
Liu Qingfeng sat alone on the sofa and pondered for a long time.
He lacked “power” or connection with people related to forces, all the time. If the man had close bearings with a clan, it would greatly promote his strength.
Obviously, he saw the hope at the present moment. By virtue of his acute insight, he thought that it would be an opportunity.
However, he still needed to investigate this opportunity, because he should be more careful if he were to cooperate with a wolf. If the master was not a wolf, he would rise to the upper-class if he cooperated with him. This was something Liu Qingfeng had been thinking about for several years.
Man struggled upwards and water flew downward. Liu Qingfeng was not a person who took things as they were. He liked to do business and yearned for a bigger stage.
At ten o’clock that night.
Tian San came back with a document. In the study of the mansion, he gave Liu Qingfeng the details, while looking at the document.
“After investigating, I learned that the owner of the restaurant is surnamed Zhang, and is a foreigner. He came to Hong Kong more than a month ago and then he opened a restaurant in New Moon Bay.”
“He has a daughter named Mengmeng, who is about four years old. She is very cute and beautiful. He named the restaurant, Mengmeng’s Leisure Restaurant.”
At this point, Liu Qingfeng’s face changed. He noted that Mr. Zhang doted on his daughter very much.
“His wife is a beauty, but she wears sunglasses and a cap every time she goes out. Therefore, I don’t know who she is.”
“Mr. Zhang has a younger sister who occasionally comes to the restaurant.”
“And Zhao Feng, he used to follow Tang Zhan, who was the former leader of the underground forces in the Southern District. Zhao Feng is nicknamed Crazy. At that time, he was not a martial artist, or perhaps he deliberately hid his identity. To my surprise, Zhao Feng and Mr. Zhang had just known each other for more than a month. Later, Tang Zhan shot Zhao Feng. I heard that he was shot several times, but he recovered completely after being taken away by Mr. Zhang. Then Mr. Zhang asked Zhao Feng and the bulky man to kill Tang Zhan.”
“It’s so weird. If Zhao Feng did not hide his strength, I can’t imagine how horrible Mr. Zhang’s background is.”
“As for Mr. Zhang, I heard that the reason why he ruined Tang Zhan’s force is that Scorpion made his daughter cry. At that time, many people heard Mr. Zhang saying that even Scorpion’s life was not as valuable as a single drop of his daughter’s tears.”
Hearing what he said, Liu Qingfeng’s pupils suddenly shrank.
His words showed his aggressiveness in ignoring lives and his dotage on his daughter. Liu Qingfeng deemed that he seemed to have grasped the breakthrough.
“There’s nothing else. It is worth mentioning that the restaurant is very popular, adopting a membership system. Only members can taste the dishes made by Mr Zhang himself. However, the membership cards are really expensive. I heard that the first ten cards cost one million Yuan each, which were sold out. Now the eleventh to twentieth cards are being sold for ten million Yuan each, and so far, one has been sold.”
Tian San finished reading the details on the document and shook his head. It was Xiao Ling who should have read it, so as a Peak Strength Master, he felt really depressed.
But because the information was about a Qi Strength Master, Tian San, who had been arrogant, read it thoroughly from beginning to end.
“Is there any other information?” Liu Qingfeng asked in a low voice.
“That’s all I can find out in a day.”
“I got it. You can go now.” Liu Qingfeng waved his hand.
“Okay.” Tian San turned and walked out.
When he had reached the door, Liu Qingfeng added, “Wait, ask Xiao Ling to prepare some gifts for children. I will visit Mr. Zhang at the restaurant at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“All right.” Tian San nodded his head.
In the meantime.
In front of the shopping mall, which was about five minutes’ walk from Mengmeng’s Leisure Restaurant.
At this point, Zhang Han and Zi Yan were walking around the square. Zhang Han held Mengmeng with his right hand, and his left hand held Zi Yan’s right hand.
Zi Yan was accustomed to holding hands with Zhang Han now. Although they only held hands, Zi Yan felt somewhat delighted and could not help smiling.
Zi Yan wore a suit of hip-hop style clothes today. She was dressed in loose, thin, black casual pants with a white pattern on the right and a white hoodie. She wore a cap with her hair down and a pair of spectacle frames.
Originally, she wanted to wear sunglasses, but Zhang Han took away the lenses, since the light was dim at night.
This suit hid Zi Yan’s elegant demeanor.
Zhang Han wore relatively simple sportswear, which was bought by Zi Yan, last time. Mengmeng’s dress was also very detailed. She was in Zhang Han’s arms, humming to herself, while looking around.
“How is your work recently?” Zhang Han asked casually.
“Just so so.” Zi Yan shook her head and said, “Anyway, I’ll be having more leisure times these days. Actually, it is not a good thing, but…”
At this point, Zi Yan stopped talking, for she was too embarrassed to speak out.
What she wanted to say was, “But I would be very happy to come home more often.”
In fact, Zi Yan was almost in love with Zhang Han, otherwise she would not have held hands with him.
After she woke up every morning, she would feel happy to see Zhang Han, would feel warm when she enjoyed the meal he cooked and feel comfortable, hearing his voice. The more she looked at Zhang Han, the more handsome he was. After dinner, she would listen to his story with Mengmeng before going to bed. Zi Yan was fascinated and intoxicated by such a life.
Hearing what Zi Yan said, Zhang Han knew what she meant. Just when he intended to say something, a surprised voice could be heard suddenly, from the side.
“Eh?”
He turned his head, and saw two young women, who were looking at Zi Yan, with eyes opened wide in surprise. A woman with short hair asked, “Are you Zi Yan?”
“You have the wrong person.” Zi Yan gently lowered her head and responded.
“Uh?” At this moment, Mengmeng turned her head and said doubtfully, “Hmm… MaMa is…”
Before she finished speaking, Zi Yan interrupted, “Mengmeng, it’s nearly eleven o’clock. We should go home now and sleep.”
“Go to sleep? Uh-huh, well.” Mengmeng nodded reluctantly, as she had not enjoyed herself fully yet.
“What a beautiful girl.” Another woman with long hair said, with a smile.
“Yes, she’s so lovely. Oh, I’m sorry to have mistaken you for Zi Yan, the beautiful sister. You look alike. I watched My Voice yesterday. Zi Yan is really pretty.” The woman with short hair, said in admiration.
“Ha, ha. Really?” Zhang Han smiled. Then he held out his left hand and held Zi Yan in his arms. He said, while stepping forward, “My wife is Zi Yan.”
“Uh-huh, my MaMa is Zi Yan!” Mengmeng echoed, raising her hands.
Zi Yan’s face suddenly turned red, but she still snuggled tightly against Zhang Han. Hearing their words, Zi Yan felt a little nervous.
In her mind, if she was as popular as ever, people would have gotten trapped in traffic jams once her identity was exposed. Perhaps a stampede would have occurred and her personal safety could not be guaranteed.
Fortunately, the two girls behind them, did not believe it.
“Hum. You lie, handsome guy. Goddess Zi Yan has neither a husband nor a kid. You can’t fool us, even though you’re handsome! Ha, ha!”
The woman with short hair made a face at Zhang Han, then she left in a hurry, with her companion.
“Poof…”
Zi Yan burst out laughing. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Han and then rebuked him, “Didn’t you let me go? Who’s your wife? Why aren’t you ashamed talking such nonsense?”
“No.” Zhang Han smiled. Although he said that, he drew his arm away to hold Zi Yan’s right hand.
“Hum!” Zi Yan snorted and did not answer him.
However, she shook her right hand slightly and walked with lighter footsteps. As Zi Yan walked, she played like a child. She crossed her steps and after taking four steps forward, she would jump with both feet.
She was good at dancing after all, so she walked with a certain rhythm.
At this point, Zhang Han was a little startled.
It was the first time that he had seen Zi Yan playing. What she did also showed that she was revealing more and more of her real self to him.
After Zhang Han took a few steps forward, his eyes narrowed and he chuckled. Simultaneously, he walked in the same fancy way as Zi Yan.
If accompanied by music, it would be quite interesting.
At that time, there were still many pedestrians on the road, and their actions attracted the attention of numerous people.
Many people shook their head repeatedly and sighed with emotion.
“It’s really interesting. They’re so affectionate.”
However, there was also a “kind” woman who cried earnestly, “Young man, don’t just stare at your wife. Take care of your child. What if the kid falls down? You are holding a child, please be careful!”
“Ah!”
Zi Yan stopped walking and looked around, only to find many people staring at them. She was frightened, and ran away with Zhang Han.
After returning to the bedroom on the second floor of the restaurant, Mengmeng and Zi Yan lay in bed as usual, gradually falling asleep while listening to Zhang Han’s story.
Nothing happened during the night.
Zi Yan had been sleeping soundly since she moved in. Then, she stayed in bed the next morning. Once she stayed in bed, Mengmeng also seemed to be influenced and would get up late.
They would wake up at nearly eight o’clock. After cleaning up and having breakfast, Zi Yan hurriedly prepared for work.
At about nine o’clock.
Mengmeng was on the sofa, watching the new episode of Boonie Bears, on the first floor.
Zhang Han was accompanying her, while Zhao Feng was sitting beside Zhang Han, constantly scrolling through the images in his mobile phone.
“Master, I’ve sorted all the information out. Now there are two office buildings which are suitable for opening a security company. This one, with a total of seven floors, is large enough, but the square in front of it is relatively small and there is little place to park cars.”
Zhao Feng said while scrolling through his images.
“In addition, this building is located on Liuxi Street, which is a ten minutes’ walk from here. Another building which is just as great, with 11 floors, but it is a little further away. We have to drive for 20 minutes to get there.”
“Mmm.” Zhang Han took a look and was not satisfied with the two buildings. Then he said, “It’s up to you.”
“I’ll look for other buildings these two days. The former CBD building is the most suitable site. I wonder whether Director Dong’s intervention is effective. If it doesn’t work, I have to find another site.” Zhao Feng sighed lightly.
“It seems that the director still carries weight.” Zhang Han looked outside, and turned his head to the TV, after saying that.
“Huh?”
Zhao Feng froze, then turned his head to look outside.
At the sight of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Liu Qingfeng, carrying two bags of gifts in his hands, together with his secretary and bodyguard, who just got out of the car, Zhao Feng stood up and walked to the gate, his eyes flashing.
Liu Qingfeng was dressed in a formal Tang suit today. He came into the restaurant with two bags in his hands, then he glanced at Zhao Feng and nodded. The next moment, he looked at Zhang Han and said with a bold smile, “Mr. Zhang, Liu Qingfeng is here to visit you!”
After greeting Zhang Han, Liu Qingfeng walked to the sofa with vigorous strides. He put the gifts on the tea table, and looked at Mengmeng carefully. Then he smiled widely and said, “What a beautiful girl. Ha, ha, Mr. Zhang. I don’t know what you like, so I bought some small toys for your daughter. Mr. Zhang, I hope you don’t mind me visiting you without informing you in advance.”
“It’s ok.” Zhang Han’s face did not change, but he also did not ask him to sit down. Instead, he only nodded his head slightly to greet them.
“Hello, Mr. Zhang!”
Tian San was totally convinced that Zhang Han was a master, when he saw his distant look. At this time, he was not arrogant at all, but respectfully saluted Zhang Han.
“Hello, Mr. Zhang.”
Xiao Ling also greeted him with a smile.
Zhang Han nodded slightly to the two of them.
As for Mengmeng, catching sight of strangers, she got close to Zhang Han, pouted and said, “No, my MaMa told me that I can’t accept strangers’ gifts yesterday. No, Mengmeng should follow her instruction.”
Mengmeng stared at the bags containing gifts and tried to resist the temptation, even though she badly wanted the presents.
“Ha, ha, ha. I’m not a stranger. I’m your father’s… friend, not an outsider. Just accept the gifts.” Liu Qingfeng said with a wide smile. When he spoke to Mengmeng, his rough voice became much softer.
It was obvious that he loved Mengmeng.
“Well, really? PaPa, PaPa, can I accept these gifts?” Hearing his words, Mengmeng looked at Zhang Han with her big clear eyes.
“Yes.” Zhang Han touched Mengmeng’s head with a smile, took the bag, then he opened the toy boxes, one by one, for Mengmeng.
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, I came here today to…”
Before he finished speaking,
Zhao Feng interrupted, “Chairman Liu, I am responsible for those things. My boss doesn’t know the details, so you can talk with me.”
“Fine.” After thinking for a while, Liu Qingfeng nodded.
“This way, please.” Zhao Feng spread his hands and led the way to the table for ordinary customers, and sat in the corner.
Liu Qingfeng was sitting opposite, while Tian San and Xiao Ling were standing behind him, waiting for his orders.
Since Zhang Han felt Liu Qingfeng’s voice was a little loud, he took the toys and carried Mengmeng to the second floor.
He was not interested in such things. Moreover, he believed that Zhao Feng could handle it, and that he did not need to worry about it.
“Chairman Liu, can you talk about the building this time?” Zhao Feng asked directly.
“Yes. I like people who don’t talk nonsense.” Liu Qingfeng complimented him and said, “I’ll come to the point. Director Dong visited me yesterday and mentioned about Mr. Zhang. I inquired about him later and thought he seemed like a nice person. Therefore, I came to visit him today.”
“Chairman Liu, name your price directly.” Zhao Feng nodded and said.
“No, just put it aside.” Liu Qingfeng shook his hand and said, “As for the building, I’ve already signed contracts with many partners, so things are rather complicated. You should tell me about your plans first, if you want this building, then we can talk about the transfer.”
“Is it related to the transfer?” Zhao Feng asked doubtfully.
“Of course. Younger Brother Zhao, don’t worry. I promise on my social status and reputation that I won’t steal your plan. Besides, it’s not a secret.” Liu Qingfeng spread his arms and said.
This was true. Liu Qingfeng could achieve his aims by right of his social status. The reason why he wanted to know what Zhao Feng was going to do, was to cooperate with him. This was his purpose.
“Well, I’m going to open a security company in the main building, and open a bar in the lower building.”
“Is that all?” Liu Qingfeng was a little shocked.
“Yes.” Zhao Feng nodded.
“You must be ambitious since you plan to open a security company in such a large building. Do you want to extend your power?” Liu Qingfeng said, with a smile.
“To be honest,” Liu Qingfeng motioned with his hand and said, “I want to cooperate with you. I think that you know little about how to operate a company and have little experience, so I can assist you. I spent 500 hundred million yuan on the building, and it is my investment. I will take 49% of the shares, while you take 51%. Besides, I won’t intervene with anything. What do you think?”
“Cooperate?” After a pause, Zhao Feng shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I don’t want to cooperate with you.”
“Do you want to operate it by yourself?” Liu Qingfeng laughed and said, “I am not looking down upon you, but you don’t know how to run a company because you are not a businessman. I just want to assist you, and I won’t interfere in the company’s affairs. This is how sincere I am. And how do you operate a security company without bodyguards? I know some people in this field and can introduce you some veterans.”
“Chairman Liu, I have arranged all the affairs. I have 50 brothers. Moreover, the company only serves my boss, and we don’t want to make any profits. Therefore, I don’t think this is a good investment project. What do you think, Chairman Liu?” Zhao Feng looked at Liu Qingfeng as he said this.
“Fifty people? Even so, I don’t need such a big place. Are these people from the underground forces? What if I give you two floors for free? You only need to give me some shares. I’ll ask some veterans to help you.” Liu Qingfeng said.
“Chairman Liu, I think you misunderstand me.” After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng said, “My boss doesn’t like to do anything troublesome, so I’m not going to give up the shares. Furthermore, by virtue of my boss’s status, it’s not suitable for him to rent only a few floors. Finally, thanks for your kindness, Chairman Liu, but you don’t need to ask anyone to help me, because each of my fifty brothers is powerful enough.”
“Are they also masters?”
“Yes.” Zhao Feng’s eyes narrowed and he said slowly, “Each of them is a Obvious Strength Warrior.”
“What!” Liu Qingfeng’s face changed.
“Poof…” Tian San choked on his saliva again. He asked in a horrified tone, “Really?”
Zhao Feng ignored Tian San and stared at Liu Qingfeng, then he said, “So, I still hope you can transfer it to me. I think we can become friends. What do you think?”
After his finishing speaking, Zhao Feng smiled, for he thought this matter could be settled.
When Liu Qingfeng came into the restaurant, he knew that Liu Qingfeng did care about master’s strength and the martial arts world.
Therefore, he told Liu Qingfeng that he had Obvious Strength Warriors. In this way, the master’s mystery would be enhanced once again. After all, only a few people could possess fifty martial artists!
Zhao Feng was not afraid to reveal the trump card. Besides, nobody could make out what his master’s trump card was.
Some people already knew that his master was a Qi Strength Master, but in fact, he was a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage.
This was the most formidable trump card!
