Chapter 27: Choose Your Seat First
âYou are?â Zhou Ping doubtfully looked at the couple.
âWe are Li Xiaoyiâs parents. My name is Li Yaohua and this is my wife Shen Shaorong.â Li Yaohua rubbed his hands. âWell, can we speak with Young Master Zhou for a bit?â
With a hint of pleading in Li Yaohuaâs eyes, Zhou Ping hesitated and nodded. âIs there a more private room?â Zhou Ping asked Mayor Wu.
Mayor Wu looked at Boss Zhao, and Boss Zhao quickly stood up. âItâs an honor for my old shop that Young Master Zhou can use my Baojin room. Please, Young Master Zhou, I will lead you.â
Zhou Ping nodded, and everyone gave way. Boss Zhao led the way, and Zhou Ping and the others followed.
Shu Liangcai looked at Zhou Ping, who was walking away, and wanted to say something. Mayor Wu glared at him, so he backed up.
Boss Zhao arranged a room and left. Seeing Boss Zhao leaving, Li Yaohua and the others were obviously relieved.
âWhatâs the matter? Go ahead.â Zhou Ping sat down.
âYoung Master Zhou, I heard from Li Xiaoyi that there is a bet between the two of you?â Li Yaohua also pulled a chair and sat down.
âThere is such a thing.â Zhou Ping nodded and looked at Li Xiaoyi.
Li Xiaoyiâs eyes were red, as if she had just cried. Seeing Zhou Ping looking at her, Li Xiaoyiâs eyes dodged for a while.
âThe children are not sensible.â Li Yaohua pondered. âWhy doesnât my Li family pay 50 million as compensation to Young Master Zhou? Letâs just forget about it.â
âWhat are you talking about? 50 million?â Zhou Ping looked at Li Yaohua in amazement.
âI know 50 million is a lot, but we only have one daughter.â Li Yaohua sighed, as if he had lost a big bargain.
My grandfatherâs Zhou family will be short of money??If they hear that, Yanpingâs second-generation will laugh out loud.
Zhou Ping was speechless for a while.
âIt seems that Li Yaohua obviously doesnât know my identity. Although my identity is not a secret to those on top, it is not open to the public. It seems that Li Yaohuaâs position is not that high.â Zhou Ping thought it was both angering and funny. This was the first time he was being bribed, though it was only a mere 50 million.
âLi Yaohua, right?â Zhou Ping shook his head.
âDo you know what I bet with your daughter?â Before Li Yaohua could speak, Zhou Ping took the initiative to stretch out a finger.
â10 billion. Your daughter and I made a 10 billion bet. Do you think Iâm someone who is short of money? And now, you are offering me a mere 50 millionâ¦â Zhou Ping did not finish. He just kept shaking his head.
âWell, the so-called 10 billion is just a childâs nonsense. Can you produce 10 billion?â Li Yaohuaâs face contorted.
âOthers call you Young Master Zhou. I have learned that there is not a surname Zhou among the rich and powerful within the city. I donât know where you came from, and I donât want to know. Those who are wise will get the 50 million and go. My Li family is not easy to mess with either.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe whole city? Your vision is too low.â Zhou Ping sneered. âIt seems that you do not intend to fulfill the gambling agreement? It is a pity that this was signed under the witness of the Martial Arts Bureau, and I can apply for enforcement. You can try any means you can use, but I canât guarantee that the Li Family will continue to exist after that.â
Zhou Ping stood up and opened the door.
âBy the way, my fatherâs name is Zhou Guorong and my grandfatherâs name is Zhou Zuoguo. Donât mistake them.â He closed the door with a bang, then walked away.
âYaohua, why did you let him go so easily?â Shen Shaorongâs face was distorted in anger. âForce him and I donât think he will still hold the bet trueâ
âNonsense, where is this? Most of the cityâs dignitaries are gathered outside.â Li Yaohua slapped his chair and let out a low growl.
âBut if he doesnât agree, what about your daughter?â
âIf you ask me, itâs okay for my daughter to go to him.â Li Yaohua sighed.
âWhat did you say?â Li Xiaoyi paled, and Shen Shaorong erupted.
âLi Yaohua, are you still a man? You tell your daughter to be other peopleâs toy? If you dare to do this, I will fight you!â
âDonât get excited.â Li Yaohua looked at the direction Zhou Ping went out. âThis young master is a peerless genius who has passed the Seven Major Barriers. As long as he does not die, his achievements will never be low. Our daughter is not at a disadvantage if she follows him. And, havenât you seen it?â
âEven Mayor Wu is respectful to him, which makes me a little confused about Young Master Zhouâs background.â
âIs there anything you havenât figured out? Havenât we already researched it? There is not a powerful family with the surname Zhou in the city.â Shen Shaorong looked at Li Yaohua ferociously.
âI donât care what his background is, how talented he is, or how great his potential is. It is absolutely impossible for my daughter to be a toy.â
âI know. Letâs go out first.â Li Yaohua looked at his wife, feeling uneasy. âThe whole city? Low vision? Is it from outside the city? And, Zhou Guorong? Zhou Zuoguo? Why do their names sound familiar?â
Zhou Ping got out of the room, feeling a bit funny, but he didnât talk about it.
Walking into the lobby of the restaurant, everyone was already seated.
âYoung Master Zhou, weâre just waiting for you.â
Mayor Wu and Boss Zhao were paying attention to the audience. Seeing Zhou Ping walking out, they greeted him enthusiastically.
âEat? Donât you want to compete first?â Zhou Ping was still worried about the promotion value.
âItâs never too late after eatingâ¦â Mayor Wu was about to say something when he saw the three Lis coming with a gloomy expression.
âMayor Wu, Boss Zhao.â Li Yaohua also saw Mayor Wu and the others. He quickly put away the gloom on his face and greeted them with a smile.
âYouâre not eating yet? Iâm sorry to delay everyone. Later, I will invite and treat Mayor Wu and Boss Zhao.â
With Li Yaohuaâs level, it was very rare to be able to build relationships with wealthy people like Mayor Wu or Boss Zhao. If it was on normal days, Li Yaohua would have difficulty meeting them.
âWhat are you doing? Do you want everyone to wait for you?â Seeing Zhou Ping standing, Li Yaohua frowned.
Zhou Ping raised his brows and stood still.
âYouâ¦â Seeing Zhou Ping not moving, Li Yaohua frowned his brows.
âWhat are you doing? Who do you think you are?â On one side, Mayor Wu and Boss Zhao almost wetted their underwear. If this offended Young Master Zhou, they would be finished.
âUm? Iâm Li Yaohua! The chairman of the Li Group. Mayor Wuâ¦â Li Yaohua was taken aback after being scolded.
âLi Group? Li Yaohua? I donât know you. This is a celebratory banquet for the talents of this generation. Please go out if you have nothing to do with it.â Wu Shi snorted and turned his head to look at Zhou Ping.
âYoung Master Zhou, everybody is waiting for you. You can choose your seat first.â
âWhat! Mayor Wu and Boss Zhao have to wait for Young Master Zhou to be seated before they start?â Li Yaohua looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief. âWhatâs your origin Young Master Zhou?â
