Chapter 36: Subdue the Stubborn
Chu Qingjiang could hear the depression in Li Baohua's words and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What happened?"

Li Baohua didn't want to talk about this at first.

But then he thought again, Chu Qingjiang is now his partner, and Gao Yi's anger might burn Chu Qingjiang.

He immediately reminded Chu Qingjiang, "Boss Chu, to be honest, the gentleman I worked with before might have some opinions about your cooperation with me, and he just called to ask me to come over."

"I didn't know what would happen in a while, so I called you to cancel our appointment tonight, so that I wouldn't miss it. You're still waiting for me here, I have to apologize to you, I'm so sorry!"

When Chu Qingjiang heard this, he asked him again, "Where are you meeting? Is it convenient for me to go over and take a look? Maybe we can sit down and talk together?"

Li Baohua's eyes lit up.

He thought to himself that since Chu Qingjiang could get so many imported goods through legal means, he might be able to deal with Gao Yi and his gang.

These guys have very powerful backers and sponsors, and Li Baohua doesn't want to fall out with them unless he is forced to do so.

Now with Chu Qingjiang's active participation, Li Baohua felt instantly more relaxed.

He laughed and said, "Of course it's convenient, it's definitely convenient. Let's meet at Yushanfang, a private restaurant in a courtyard on the inner street of Deshengmen. They only accept regular customers and you need to make an appointment to enter."

"I'm coming to see you now. We can drive there together later, okay?"

Chu Qingjiang replied: "Sure, come over, I'll wait for you in the store!"

With a versatile and powerful system in hand, Chu Qingjiang is not afraid of those little masters.

If they really come to a fight, he can make them pay the price.

But he and Li Baohua had the same idea. He would not fall out with these people unless it was absolutely necessary.

It's definitely better to be friends than enemies.

However, if these young masters really have bigger and bigger appetites as Li Baohua said, it might be difficult to deal with them.

We'll see what happens then!

Chu Qingjiang called Zheng Xiangdong and Chu Qinghe over again and told them, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. You two should keep an eye on the store. Close the door after get off work and check it one last time before leaving."

Normally, he is the last one to leave work to settle accounts and then do inspections.

He has to leave early today, so he can only leave it to these two.

Zheng Xiangdong and Chu Qinghe nodded in unison, "Understood."

Twenty minutes later.

Li Baohua drove his Mercedes-Benz to the door of Chu Qingjiang's store.

He saw at a glance that Chu Qinghe was already waiting there in his majestic and cool jeep.

Li Baohua rolled down the window and said hello to Chu Qinghe, "Boss Chu, I'm in front, follow me."

Chu Qinghe nodded at him, "Okay."

Shichahai is less than two kilometers away from Deshengmen Inner Street. Chu Qinghe followed Li Baohua's car, and in less than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the gate of Yushanfang.

The two men parked the car and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in simple clothes.

As soon as she saw Li Baohua, she smiled and said, "Boss Li, you are here. Please come in. Director Gao and the others have been here for a while."

Li Baohua nodded at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Qi!"

He saw Sister Qi's eyes fall on Chu Qingjiang, and smiled and introduced to Sister Qi: "Sister Qi, this is General Manager Chu of Wanjie Trade Department Store." Then, he smiled and introduced to Chu Qingjiang: "General Manager Chu, this is Sister Qi, the proprietress of Yushanfang."

Chu Qingjiang also called out politely, "Sister Qi, hello!"

He took out a business card and handed it to Sister Qi.

Sister Qi took it with both hands, took a look, and remembered Chu Qingjiang's identity.

She also smiled warmly and said to him: "Welcome Mr. Chu to our Yushanfang, please come more often in the future!"

Although Sister Qi is dressed simply, she is quite smart.

This imperial kitchen was run by her husband Tang Zhijian, while she was responsible for greeting guests and managing logistics and personnel.

She also knew in her heart that none of the people who could play with Gao Yi and his gang of young masters were simple people, and they were all people she wanted to support.

It can be said that these young masters are all distinguished guests of her imperial kitchen.

Sister Qi sent Li Baohua and Chu Qingjiang to the private room in the main hall where Gao Yi and the others were.

Before entering, Sister Qi knocked on the door politely and said loudly, "Director Gao, General Manager Li is here."

Gao Yi's lazy voice sounded, "Let him in!"

Sister Qi then pushed open the door and extended her hand to Li Baohua and Chu Qingjiang, "Boss Li, Boss Chu, please come in!"

Seeing Li Baohua and Chu Qingjiang come in, Gao Yi and his gang didn't even look at them, as if they wanted to humiliate Li Baohua and embarrass him by ignoring them.

Li Baohua was already accustomed to this kind of scene. In order to get the approval documents, he had suffered a lot from these bastards.

He didn't mind them giving him the cold shoulder at the moment, but he felt that Chu Qingjiang shouldn't suffer with him.

He also felt angry and sad for Chu Qingjiang from the bottom of his heart.

Li Baohua looked at Chu Qingjiang with an apologetic look.

Chu Qingjiang winked at him, telling him not to get angry and to stay calm.

Li Baohua calmed down instantly.

Gao Yi, Liao Jiandong, Xia Hai, Jiang Yan and Rong Fei were all leaning lazily on the sofa, chatting idly.

Li Baohua suppressed his dissatisfaction and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Yi, Brother Dong, Brother Hai, Brother Yan, Brother Fei, I brought a very important friend here today. May I introduce him to you?"

Hearing Li Baohua use the word "very important" to introduce Chu Qingjiang's identity, Gao Yi raised his eyes indifferently.

He first glanced coldly at Li Baohua, then at Chu Qingjiang.

He looked at Chu Qingjiang with a scrutinizing gaze, which stayed on his body for a long while before he looked away.

Before Gao Yi could say anything, Liao Jiandong started to mock him.

"Hey, Mr. Li, you are so arrogant now. You even need our brother Yi to call you personally to invite you to dinner before you come!"

Li Baohua quickly apologized with a smile, "No, no, I'm busy opening the store these days. I was thinking that after I'm done with these two days, I'd invite Brother Yi and the rest of you guys to have a drink together. I didn't expect Brother Yi to call me first. I'll punish myself with three drinks later, okay?"

While they were chatting, Chu Qingjiang was also quietly looking at these young men from the compound.

Gao Yi, 30 years old, is about meters tall, thin, and wearing a khaki woolen coat. He looks gentle and elegant, with the temperament of a cold scholar.

But his deep, cold and sharp eyes seemed to be silently announcing to others that he was not someone to be trifled with!
