The world of film and television begins from childhood

The waiter placed the plate on the table, opened it and lit it directly with a lighter.

"Flame King Snake."

Then he placed another dish in the center of the table and explained, "There are three ways to eat lobster. The first one, please."

When Lu Meilin and others saw these two dishes, their faces all turned very ugly, and in an instant, their eyes turned to Lu Meilin.

Lu Meilin had a toothpick in her mouth, her face as gloomy as if water was about to drip. She could no longer control her emotions, and she slammed the table and stood up, overturning the king cobra plate in front of her. The other proprietresses followed suit and all slammed the table and stood up.

In an instant, the private room was in chaos.

Chapter 1311: Ending, Chatting

As Lu Meilin and others overturned the table, Du Honggen and his group who were sitting opposite them immediately stood up and quickly walked towards Zhizhen Garden.

Dozens of people went out together, and the huge movement immediately shook the entire Yellow River Road.

Originally, everyone on Huanghe Road knew that there would be a big event at Zhizhen Garden today, so everyone's eyes were on Zhizhen Garden. Now that they see the situation escalating, they naturally become more concerned.

Du Honggen and others rushed into Zhizhen Garden in a mighty manner. When Li Li and Lu Meilin were confronting each other and refused to give in, they went directly to the second floor and came to the box.

Facing the sudden and murderous Du Honggen and others, Li Li was not afraid at all and talked to Du Honggen with great momentum.

She was polite, but Du Honggen was not so polite. He ignored Li Li with a bad attitude, and then asked someone to bring the menu and tear off all the main dishes on it.

"…………, they are all your seniors, sister, let me make it clear to you, if any of them is not satisfied with you, you can't open this restaurant, and you are not allowed to cook any of their dishes."

Facing Du Honggen's threat, Li Li's expression did not change. He just said calmly: "What if I don't agree?"

Du Honggen became furious, and swung the chair next to him and threw it out. With a "bang", the window on the second floor was broken, and the chair fell outside, causing bursts of screams from outside.

Du Honggen pointed at Li Li and shouted, "I broke this window. I, Du Honggen, broke it. Don't worry. I will break another window tomorrow. I will pay you back every penny. I, Du Honggen, don't have much else. I have many friends and employees. Starting tomorrow, they will all come to support your business. Each person will have a table, from the lobby to the private room. Each person will have a bowl of wontons and sit there all day. I wonder who will dare to come to your store again in the future?"

Li Li stood up from the chair and took an envelope from Manager Pan.

"Boss Du, although this is my first time opening a restaurant, I have served both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food over the years. Shanghai is a place ruled by law after all. If Boss Du is willing to make friends with me, I will give this gift to Boss Du. If Boss Du is not willing and still wants to see my cards, no problem, I will accompany you to the end."

As she spoke, she slapped the envelope in her hand on the turntable on the table and turned it vigorously. The turntable spun rapidly, and everyone else's eyes followed the turntable, except Du Honggen, who stared at Li Li.

He has been in the underworld for many years. He has been observing Li Li's expression just now. Although Li Li's expression has changed many times since he appeared, she has never shown any fear. This makes him feel that Li Li is a really courageous woman.

Now, Li Li was not afraid of his threats at all in front of so many people, and even made harsh remarks. This made him doubtful. Could it be that Li Li really had some powerful trump card that made her so confident?

As he was thinking, his eyes involuntarily fell on the envelope in front of him.

Lu Meilin was impatient and wanted to take it, but Du Honggen held the envelope down. Lu Meilin was so anxious that she complained a few words.

He held the envelope, looked at Li Li again, and then picked up the envelope to open it. However, when he saw a group of people gathered behind him, he immediately held it down again.

Lu Meilin understood what he meant and pushed the proprietresses aside. Then Du Honggen carefully opened a corner of the envelope and looked inside with his head down.

After seeing just a few words, his face suddenly changed. He no longer dared to open it. He pressed it with his hand and held it tightly in his hand.

He looked at Li Li deeply, feeling frightened. This IOU was in Zhou Chen's hand, and now it appeared here, it was obviously given by Zhou Chen to Li Li. In other words, Zhou Chen was most likely behind Li Li.

Thinking of this answer, he became even more nervous. When Zhou Chen was not yet as successful as he is now, they came to him to cause trouble, but instead of getting any advantage, they were severely punished by Zhou Chen.

But the current Zhou Chen is no longer someone he can afford to offend. He even wanted to follow Zhou Chen to work before, but Zhou Chen did not agree.

"What are you doing? What's going on?"

Seeing that Du Honggen didn't respond, Lu Meilin pushed him anxiously.

Du Honggen did not answer her, but stared at Li Li, holding the envelope in his hand, his face changing, and he was silent for a moment.

"I am very satisfied with the boss lady's gift. I, Du Honggen, love making friends the most. Since the boss lady is willing to make me her friend, then I have no objection. I was impulsive just now, and I will compensate you immediately if I owe you any."

Li Li smiled politely and said, "Mr. Du is too polite. Since we are friends now, it's just a window, so you don't have to compensate me."

The two of them put aside their past grudges and chatted about the news as if no one was around, but this shocked the proprietresses such as Lu Meilin, especially Lu Meilin, who stared at Du Honggen in disbelief.

Lu Meilin reacted and let out an angry roar, then rushed out of the box like crazy. Du Honggen quickly chased after her. When the other proprietresses saw that the boss had left, they dared not stay in Zhizhen Garden any longer and followed her out of the box.

Lu Meilin ran back to Jin Meilin, cursing all the way, and Du Honggen chased after her, pulling her.

"Meilin, Meilin."

Lu Meilin pushed him away and said, "Don't pull me. Let me go. I warn you, don't follow me. Go hug Zhizhenyuan's thigh."

Du Honggen was furious after being scolded by Lu Meilin. He rushed into Jin Meilin, scolded all the guests in the lobby of Jin Meilin and then explained to Lu Meilin.

"Lu Meilin, are you reasonable? You take politeness as a blessing. People have given you enough face. They let you cook the king cobra and host the banquet..."

Lu Meilin turned her head sharply and shouted angrily: "I'm sorry, I won't do this kind of business. Even if I, Jin Meilin, fall into poverty, I will never live on her leftovers."

Du Honggen also shouted: "Open your eyes and see who is behind that person?"

"who?"

Du Honggen slammed the IOU he brought out on the table, and Lu Meilin picked it up and looked at it.

"Look for yourself. Your husband lost all his money gambling in Ao Island. You asked me to go with you to cause trouble for Zhou Chen, but what happened? You know exactly what happened that day. After seeing this, do you still want to fight her?"

After seeing the IOU clearly, Lu Meilin's anger suddenly dissipated a lot. She knew very well how this IOU came about. When she thought of what happened that day, her eyes couldn't stop twitching.

But she is a very stubborn person.

"Behind Li Li is Zhou Chen, what's so great about that? He was just a small cook of my Jin Meilin before, why would I be afraid of him?"

Du Honggen shouted angrily, "You also know that it was in the past. He is no longer the little chef he used to be. He is Mr. Zhou, the famous Mr. Zhou in Shanghai. Don't forget that Jin Meilin's business has been so good recently because of him. He is on good terms with the government now. You are a restaurant owner and I am a logistics person. What can we use to fight him? With just one word from him, I'm afraid you and I can't survive on Huanghe Road anymore."

As an old gangster, he is usually very arrogant, but it depends on the target. What kind of person is Zhou Chen? Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the fact that Zhou Chen donated dozens of vehicles to the police. As long as Zhou Chen says he wants to deal with him, he and his younger brothers will be in trouble because they have done too many dirty things.

It's no problem for him to deal with a restaurant owner, but he doesn't have the courage to go against Zhou Chen.

Lu Meilin was so angry that she crumpled up the IOU and threw it away, her face full of anger.

"This woman Li Li is so shameless. And that Zhou Chen is also shameless. I was wondering why he always went to Zhizhen Garden. It turns out that these two people have been hooking up with each other for a long time. Ugh."

Du Honggen shouted, "Watch your mouth. It's okay for you to say this in front of me, but if it gets out and Zhou Chen finds out, it won't do you any good."

"So what if he finds out? He's in the limelight now, but I, Lu Meilin, am not afraid of him. I don't rely on him for business, so what's so great about him?"

Lu Meilin was still being stubborn, apparently forgetting why Jin Meilin's business had been so booming in the past few months.

"I'm too lazy to tell you. Now you know who is behind Li Li. No matter what their relationship is, I advise you not to mess with her in the future."

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."

…………

The much-anticipated battle of the Yellow River Road has come to an end. Few people know the details, but apart from a broken window, there was no other loss. Du Honggen's retreat also made people realize that there was someone behind Li Li, so no one dared to provoke Li Li again.

However, a few days later, Li Li lent his gas pipeline to other restaurants for sharing, and the war was finally over.

But not long after, a piece of news spread on Huanghe Road. Some people said that behind Li Li of Zhizhenyuan was the famous Mr. Zhou on Huanghe Road, Zhou Chen, and their story was so detailed that many people believed it.

In this regard, Li Li did not come out to explain, and Zhou Chen did not appear on Huanghe Road.

Neither of them responded. The rumor spread for a while and then gradually died down.

Fuxing Road, Zhou Family!

"Zhizhen Garden has become very famous recently, congratulations."

Zhou Chen and Li Li were sitting on the balcony of the villa drinking tea and talking with a smile on their faces.

Li Li took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and praised: "Good tea."

"Zhizhen Garden is what it is today, thanks to your reminder and help, President Zhou. If it weren't for the gift from President Zhou, I would have been in a difficult situation that day."

Zhou Chen said: "Even without my gift, with your ability, you will definitely be able to get through it safely. Lu Meilin and Du Honggen are just two cowardly people."

Li Li laughed and said, "I don't know how many people on the Yellow River Road are afraid of them, but in your mouth, they are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"It's just facts."

"I heard a piece of news a few days ago that someone got investment at your venture capital conference and then tried to keep it for himself..."

"Solved. I have to say that he is a talented person. It's a pity that he didn't put his smarts into the right things. For six hundred thousand, he ruined his whole life. He was really too smart for his own good."

Zhou Chen has extensive experience in investment. For several investments he made that might have problems, he had people keeping an eye on them in advance. It just so happened that this person jumped out this time, so he could make an example of him. The effect was very good, and the news spread very quickly. Even Li Li knew about it, so it must have spread along the Yellow River Road.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any idea of ​​holding the third venture capital conference?"

"Miss Li Li, do you have any ideas?"

Li Li showed a charming smile and said softly: "Of course, I'm afraid no one on Huanghe Road would not want to host Mr. Zhou's venture capital meeting, and I am no exception."

Mr. Zhou shrugged and said, "It's a pity that I don't have this idea for the time being. I don't have the money."

Li Li smiled and said, "If others say they have no money, I believe them, but if Mr. Zhou says this, I don't believe it."

Zhou Chen said, "It's just the truth. I owe the bank a lot of money. I still owe more than 20 buildings and more than a dozen nursing homes that have not been built yet. I also need to save some money to enjoy life. If I meet a woman I like in the future and this woman happens to be short of money, I will definitely have to save some money if I want to win her heart. Don't you agree, Miss Li?"

Being stared at by Zhou Chen, Li Li always felt something was wrong. The way Zhou Chen looked at her seemed to see through her, and the words he said seemed to be said deliberately to her.

"I really can't imagine what kind of woman could make you give so much to a man as outstanding as Mr. Zhou."

"Do you want to try it?"

Facing Zhou Chen's smiling question, Li Li's heart paused, then he smiled and said, "Boss Zhou really likes to joke."

"I'm not kidding. Miss Li Li is very capable, but I am a person who only cares about pleasure. If I can get your help, even if I hand over all my foundation to you, I believe you will be able to do a good job."

Li Li's expression changed several times, and he said, "Boss Zhou thinks too highly of me. I can only run a restaurant, but I'm not as great as you say."

"Well, I don't usually like to force people to do things, but what I just said was not a joke. You can think about it when you have nothing to do."

Li Li was not sure what Zhou Chen was thinking. She felt that even if she was pretty, she would not be valued so much by Zhou Chen. But Zhou Chen said these words in front of her, which really confused her.

She had been here twice and found that Zhou Chen had never worked. She also heard from others that Zhou Chen rarely went to his company on Nanjing Road.

In her eyes, Zhou Chen is completely different from those businessmen who think about work and business every day. He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a young master who does whatever he wants and enjoys himself.

"I heard that you've been getting a little close to Mr. Bao recently."

"Boss Bao helped me, and we have a somewhat cooperative relationship now."

Zhou Chen nodded and asked, "Mr. Bao is also in the stock market, so how do you think he compares to Mr. A?"

Li Li was about to pick up the teacup, but when he heard this, he stopped moving.

"Mr. Zhou seems to care a lot about Mr. A. This is the second time you've mentioned him to me."

"No, you misunderstood. I don't care about Mr. A. After all, he is just a banker who uses the stock trading skills he learned to make a lot of money from the hard-earned money of the masses. He is also a person who can't stand the blow of failure. Why should I care about him? In my opinion, he is even worse than Mr. Bao."

Li Li's expression turned a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "People who trade stocks all want to make money. They all have the same mentality. There is no difference, only the level of their methods."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said. The winner is the winner. It's a pity that Mr. A is just an eliminated person, don't you think?"

Zhou Chen had a smile on his face. Although Mr. A was portrayed as a powerful figure in the TV series and contained many metaphors, the Mr. A shown in the plot, a man who could not bear the failure and huge debts and chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river, was not worthy of his attention.

Although what Zhou Chen said was unpleasant to the ear, Li Li had to admit that what Zhou Chen said was the truth. Even though Mr. A was the person she respected the most, the facts were happening right in front of her, and she was the person who knew the process and the results best.

"I know Mr. Zhou also started out in the stock market and even visited the Hong Kong stock market. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has ever lost money in the stock market?"

"Of course, no one is always victorious, especially in the stock market. Even the banker may become a loser. Li Li, you should understand this very well."

Li Li just smiled calmly and raised his glass to say, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your reminder."

Seeing that Li Li didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Zhou Chen stopped talking. He turned his gaze outside and saw Zhu Mei who came back from buying groceries.

"Miss Li, if you don't mind, please stay for lunch later. I will cook for you myself."

Chapter 1312: Tips to Miss Wang, the heartwarming Zhou Chen

Li Li stayed and had lunch with Zhou Chen.

"I've known for a long time that Mr. Zhou used to be a chef. Today is the first time I've seen him. Mr. Zhou's cooking skills are no worse than our Zhizhen Garden's chef."

Li Li ate the food Zhou Chen made and praised it sincerely.

Zhou Chen said: "It's not as good as you say. I know my own cooking skills very well. It's just the level of ordinary home cooking."

"At least it's much better than most people."

Li Li was not complimenting her. It was mainly because of Zhou Chen's current status that he could hire any kind of chef, and yet he could still cook personally to entertain her. She was very touched by the thought.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If you do anything for a long time, you will become proficient at it. I didn't like cooking before, but..."
