Chapter 41

Wang Tengfei really felt like dying!

Damn!

What's going on!

Did I not look at the almanac when I went out today?

How come I'm being slapped in the face by this stinky loser Ye Chen one after another?

Even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't have thought that this painting was real and really worth over two hundred thousand!

However, his bold words had already been spoken. What should he do now? Is he really going to eat the table?

That's impossible!

The car was burned, so it was burned; it could be bought again. But how could he eat a table?

If he really ate it, wouldn't he be dead?

Other classmates teased him at this time: "Oh, Wang Tengfei, you said you'd eat the table yourself; you wouldn't be going back on your word now, would you?"

"Exactly, everyone is waiting for your performance!"

Someone slapped the table: "Brother Tengfei, please start your performance!"

Wang Tengfei's face was extremely ugly, and he blurted out: "We're all classmates; there's no need to kick someone when they're down, right?"

"Kick someone when they're down?" Ye Chen smiled and said: "This matter was initiated by you yourself. Everyone is just urging you to fulfill your promise; how did it become kicking someone when they're down?"

Wang Tengfei knew that he couldn't get away with this today, so he could only endure his anger and say in a muffled voice: "I was impulsive just now; I had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai. I apologize to Ye Chen and to everyone. I hope everyone can forgive me."

Seeing him suddenly soften, everyone was very surprised. Is this still Wang Tengfei? When has he ever admitted defeat?

But Wang Tengfei had no other choice.

What to do?

If he didn't admit defeat, he would have to eat the table. It was impossible to eat it at all.

If he played the rogue, he would definitely offend the public. He didn't know how everyone would ridicule him.

So, the only way now was to admit defeat. By admitting defeat, he could overcome this hurdle.

Sure enough, as soon as he admitted defeat, some classmates said: "Oh, it's not easy for Wang Tengfei to admit his mistake and apologize. Besides, it's impossible for everyone to really force him to eat the table, so let's just forget it!"

"Exactly, forget it! Eating the table is impossible. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, so let's hurry up and start the banquet!"

Ye Chen also knew that Wang Tengfei couldn't possibly eat the table, but now that he had admitted defeat, his goal had been achieved. You want to act tough, then you have to be disciplined.

But acting this tough, this little discipline is definitely not enough. Now it's just the beginning; there's something even more miserable waiting for you later.

So he said: "Since classmate Wang Tengfei has admitted his mistake and apologized, then let's forget about eating the table. Today is the happy day of Daokun's restaurant opening, so let's not steal his thunder!"

Wang Tengfei breathed a sigh of relief.

But in his heart, he wished he could kill Ye Chen to relieve his hatred.

Ye Chen didn't plan to let him off either. He sent a text message to Wang Dongxue: "There's a deputy general manager surnamed Wang in the company whose son is named Wang Tengfei. Help me check it."

Wang Dongxue quickly replied: "There is a deputy general manager named Wang Donghai whose son is named Wang Tengfei. What's wrong, Chairman? Any instructions?"

Ye Chen replied: "Fire him, have him leave now."

"Okay!"

Wang Tengfei didn't know that his father had already been fired by the Emgrand Group and was currently going through the dismissal process at the Emgrand Group.

Having finally overcome the hurdle of the bet, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was thinking to himself that he must find an opportunity to take revenge on Ye Chen!

More importantly, he had to find a way to regain his dignity in front of his classmates; otherwise, after being slapped in the face by Ye Chen twice in a row, how could he act tough in front of his classmates in the future?

Just as he didn't know how to regain his face, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the restaurant.

Everyone looked sideways.

They saw a group of vicious-looking social youths break in. This group of people all had tattoos and were holding baseball bats, galvanized water pipes, and other weapons. They looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Seeing such a group of people break in, everyone's face changed, especially Wang Daokun and Liu Lili, whose eyes were filled with fear.

The scarred face who led the group came in, scanned the lobby, pointed at Wang Daokun, and grinned: "Boss, you didn't give us a heads-up for such a big event as the opening; are you looking down on us brothers?"

Liu Lili's face was pale, and she squeezed out a smile, saying: "You... what are you doing?"

Before the opening, Liu Lili heard that there were social figures here collecting protection money. The previous owner of this restaurant was said to have been brought down by these local ruffians and had no choice but to transfer this store.

But Liu Lili felt that in broad daylight, those black social figures wouldn't dare to rob money, so she took this place at a low price and prepared to operate it well.

Unexpectedly, these social figures came looking for trouble as soon as it opened!

The scarred face grinned: "Doing business here naturally requires paying tribute to our Brother Biao. We don't want much; just give us 20% of the dry shares of this restaurant, and we'll cover you if anything happens here in the future."

As he spoke, the scarred face added coldly: "If you don't give it, don't blame me for being impolite; you'll have to close down today!"

Upon hearing this price, Wang Daokun and Liu Lili both gasped.

They wanted 20% of the dry shares in one breath!

This is open robbery!

"I'll give you one minute to consider."

Wang Tengfei suddenly felt that his opportunity to stand out had arrived!

So he immediately came out and said: "Who are you mixing with?"

The scarred face grinned and asked: "Who do you think you are? Do I need to report my family name to you?"

Wang Tengfei sneered: "Let me tell you, my dad has plenty of connections in both the black and white worlds of Jin Ling! I'll make a phone call to the leader of the development zone right now to ask!"

The scarred face looked at him with some fear and probed: "You know the leader of the development zone?"

"Of course!" Wang Tengfei said coldly: "Get out if you don't want to die!"

The scarred face frowned and said: "Okay, if you can find someone who can talk, I won't come to this store in the future, but if you can't find them, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

Liu Lili said nervously: "Brother Fei, please help us contact them; I'm begging you!"

Wang Tengfei smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, I'll call the leader of the development zone right now!"

The Emgrand Group also had projects in the development zone, and it was Wang Tengfei's father who was in charge, so the leader of the development zone had a lot of contact with his father and also knew Wang Tengfei.

Wang Tengfei called the top leader directly and deliberately raised his voice: "Uncle Li, why are there thugs collecting protection money in the development zone? They've even collected it at my classmate's store!"

The other side was stunned for a moment and said: "Tengfei, what's going on?"

Wang Tengfei said: "A friend's restaurant is opening, and they've encountered troublemakers collecting protection money, so I want to ask District Chief Li whether he cares or not."

The other side pondered for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Tengfei, the things you're talking about don't fall under my jurisdiction. I'm in a meeting, I'll hang up first."

Before Wang Tengfei could speak, the other side hung up the phone!

Wang Tengfei was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Didn't District Chief Li always suck up to his dad before, hoping to attract more investment from the Emgrand Group?

Why doesn't he give him any face now?

How could Wang Tengfei know that the news of his father being fired by the Emgrand Group had already spread throughout the leadership team of Jin Ling!
