Jiang Tian'er's face turned ashen. He left before the livestream even ended.
Halfway back, Jiang Tian'er finally exploded. He had wanted to make things difficult for Zhang Tianxing, but instead, they both ended up in trouble. What a mess.
"Tell Fatty Jin to prepare to find someone to take the fall. His canned goods have also been sent for inspection."
When Fatty Jin received this news, he nearly went mad. He rushed to find his sister, Jin Meiren. He didn't want to go to jail; he hadn't enjoyed the life of a rich man enough yet. Wasn't it all pre-arranged? Why had Jiang Tian'er sent his canned goods for inspection this time?
Wasn't this clearly sending him to prison to eat gruel?
Upon seeing Jin Meiren, Fatty Jin broke down in tears.
"Sister, please think of a way for me. I don't want to go to jail."
"Brother, let go first. What happened? Why are you like this?"
"It's like this. Isn't it about food safety inspections? Someone sent my canned goods for inspection. What can I do?"
"Canned goods don't kill people. What are you afraid of?" Jin Meiren looked at her brother with confusion.
"Sister, you don't understand. This is going to be a big problem," Fatty Jin was in a panic.
"What did Tian'er say?"
"He told me to find someone to take the fall, but I absolutely don't want to be scapegoated. If I do, the factory will be ruined."
"Do as Tian'er says for now. If the factory can't be saved, close it. With Tian'er's help, we can make money doing something else later."
Fatty Jin's heart bled. This was an unlucky year. He never expected to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
However, finding someone to take the fall... he had an idea. Wasn't Huang Mao Zhao San the perfect candidate? You wanted to run away with my money? I'll put you on the wanted list.
You want to play me? I, Fatty Jin, am not to be trifled with. Your fate is the price of messing with me!
"Here's what you do: go find Director Jiang and take Huang Mao Zhao San's information. Let Director Jiang handle the details of this matter."
After making the arrangements, Fatty Jin felt drained of all his energy. Canned goods were too profitable, with almost a 200% profit margin.
Tens of thousands easily made in a year, without even having to manage anything. Wasn't that great? It was all that Zhang Tianxing's fault, for not adhering to business ethics and venturing into other industries.
Now that you've become the president of the crayfish association, you're also trying to make money in the canned goods industry. Your appetite is a bit too much.
Since you made the first move, don't blame me, Fatty Jin, for making the second.
Fatty Jin came up with a malicious plan to deal with Zhang Tianxing. This would definitely make Zhang Ji Crayfish and Barbecue suffer.
Fatty Jin waved his trusted subordinates over and whispered a few words to them.
Those subordinates all gave Fatty Jin a thumbs-up: "Master Jin, you're brilliant! You're like Zhuge Liang reborn. Zhang Ji Crayfish and Barbecue are finished now."
That day, about twenty burly men arrived at Zhang Ji Crayfish and Barbecue, each occupying a table.
Liang Cheng quickly stepped forward: "Gentlemen, what can I get for you?"
"Boss, a pot of water for each table, and a plate of grilled mantou slices for every table." After saying that, they sat back down.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded. These twenty or so burly men all took out a bottle of white wine from their chests and a handful of peanuts, and began to drink by themselves.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and serve!"
They were all burly, with rough faces. It was clear they were here to cause trouble.
Too bad Zhang Tianxing wasn't here. Otherwise, even with ten times their courage, they wouldn't dare to do this. What did they think this place was?
They clearly intended to occupy the seats without ordering food, just drinking water until dawn.
People really had no bottom line. They would even resort to such shameless tactics.
At this moment, a couple walked in. "Boss, twenty skewers and a big bowl of spicy crayfish, please."
Then the couple looked around, "What's going on? Everyone's at their own table, and they all look intimidating."
The couple said to a burly man, "Brother, can we share a table? There are only two of us."
"No, I enjoy drinking alone. Don't cause trouble!" With that, he spat on the table.
Then he sneered, "You want to share a table? Then come over here!"
The young man was furious and about to argue, but the woman stopped him: "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Seeing this, Liang Cheng quickly packed the crayfish and skewers and handed them to the couple.
"I'm truly sorry, there's been a slight accident at the shop today."
The couple looked around with helplessness, shook their heads, took the food, and left.
The group of burly men burst into arrogant laughter upon seeing this.
Zhu Dayong, who was in the back, went berserk. "This is too much! I'm going to kill these punks!"
"What kind of people are these? I'll make them pay! This is my good friend Zhang Tianxing's shop."
A strong man glanced at Zhu Dayong: "Young man, don't be rash. You're not Zhang Tianxing. We really admire Zhang Tianxing's swordsmanship, but Zhang Tianxing isn't here now. Even if Zhang Tianxing were here, what could he do to us?"
Wen Qing's face turned pale with anger. She had never seen such shameless people. She really wanted to drive them all out.
They were clearly a bunch of hooligans and scoundrels. If only Zhang Tianxing were here.
"Tianming, go find Tianxing! Someone is causing trouble here."
Gao Tianming responded and walked out.
A burly man stood up: "Hey you, bring me a bottle of wine. I haven't had much to drink yet, it's all gone into my stomach."
Gao Tianming ignored him. "If you want wine, go to the counter. I have something to do outside."
"Okay, hurry back. And call for more backup. We're here to eat, not to fight. Just find anyone."
"Hahaha, let's see who he can find. We're not afraid even if they call the police. A restaurant is open for people to eat. I have a small appetite, I'll just order a plate of grilled mantou slices!"
"Wine is the spirit of grain, the more you drink, the younger you get. A bite of peanuts, a sip of small wine, this is a wonderful life!"
Even worse, some started making lewd remarks to Li Fang and Wen Qing.
"Miss, you're so beautiful. Can we be friends?"
"Miss, you look so familiar. Are you my long-lost sister? I'm your brother Zhao Erhu."
"Miss, we're fated. If you sing a song, I'll order a meat skewer, how about that?"
Wen Qing's face turned white with anger. Weren't these guys just hooligans? They were bullying them because they thought they wouldn't dare to make a move.
"Gentlemen, what do you want to do? Just say it directly. Anything can be discussed, and we can negotiate." Liang Cheng didn't know the origin of these people and tried to appease them first.
"Boss Liang, let's be straightforward. You've offended people you shouldn't have. Your shop can't stay open. Prepare to close down. You can't fight us."
Hearing this, Liang Cheng felt dizzy. They had been targeted. How audacious!
"Liang Lao Er, think carefully. Even if you call the police, we haven't broken any laws. We just like to eat alone and have a drink or two!"
