Xiao Zheng never expected that he would meet this person just by going out for a casual meal. Moreover, this person actually paid for himself.
Why.
He was showing kindness to himself, still. .
The person standing at the door of the room was none other than the man who was the most popular on the road now, even surpassing Ye Shiguan for a time.
Li Mubai.
The man who inherited the Zhao family order.
Seeing Xiao Zheng's surprised and stunned expression, the elegant Li Mubai just smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is very surprised."
"It's surprising." Xiao Zheng did not hide his emotions and nodded lightly.
Li Mubai pushed up his glasses, but his eyes passed over Xiao Zheng and rested on the faces of Lan Xin and Bai Yujiao behind him: "Why don't you three come in and sit down?"
Xiao Zheng hesitated for a while, but finally nodded: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Having said that, he was not polite to Li Mubai and led the two girls into the box.
However, just as he entered the spacious box, the expression on his face suddenly changed again.
because. . In addition to Li Mubai, there were two men in the room who he was very familiar with but didn't know how to face.
Ye Shiguan.
and black bears.
them. . Why are you here
them. . Why are you having dinner with Li Mubai
Everyone in Mingzhu knows that the Zhao family and Ye Shiguan are incompatible. And there will definitely be a battle of the century in the future. Maybe this battle won't be filled with blood and smoke, but one of the two groups will definitely fall in the Pearl, or even be wiped out. No one can deny this.
But why would Li Mubai and Ye Shiguan eat at the same dining table if it was going to end like this
There is only one answer. . They joined forces.
Even before Li Mubai started fighting with Chen Chong, they joined forces.
This surprised Xiao Zheng and at the same time he was a little confused.
Ye Shiguan was not surprised by Xiao Zheng's appearance, but Black Bear sitting next to Ye Shiguan was greatly surprised by Xiao Zheng's appearance, and even became a little uneasy.
He had drunk a lot of wine, and his dark skin was slightly red. Even his eyes were clearly a little blurred. But the moment he saw Xiao Zheng, his expression became very solemn. He even let out a slight snort.
Ye Shiguan didn't take the initiative to greet Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng didn't greet the two of them calmly. After they both sat down, Li Mubai poured wine for Xiao Zheng himself and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao. It's not easy for us to have a meal together. It would be outrageous not to have two drinks."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but glanced at Ye Shiguan lightly. The latter understood and nodded lightly to Xiao Zheng. His face looked as usual.
Instead, it’s a black bear. . As if he didn't know how to face Xiao Zheng, he just drank one cup after another.
Everyone had a drink, and after Li Mubai calmed down for a while, he suddenly said to Xiao Zheng: "Mr. Xiao, you must be surprised why I sat down to eat with Boss Ye, right?"
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips slightly, lit a cigarette and said, "The most surprising thing is not me, but Shen Manjun."
Li Mubai obviously didn't expect that Xiao Zheng would directly reveal this relationship. His expression changed slightly, then he shook his head and smiled: "Actually, even if my little sister knows about it, I still have a clear conscience."
"It's useless to tell me." Xiao Zheng said calmly. "You should think about how to explain to Shen Manjun."
"Are you going to tell my little sister?" Li Mubai asked.
"Are you planning to keep it secret from her?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Whether she knows it or not, it doesn't actually matter." Li Mubai smiled. "Just like what you suggested to her. Don't give Zhao Jialing to me. She didn't give it to me the same way. Do you think who has more status in her heart, me or you?"
"This is her business. It has nothing to do with me." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said.
"Mr. Xiao can understand this. Our next conversation will be more meaningful." Li Mubai smiled and personally lit a cigarette for Xiao Zheng. "Mr. Xiao, I believe you should know what my most urgent matter is now, right?"
"Definitely not eating with them." Xiao Zheng said.
"But eating with Boss Ye is the top priority to solve my troubles." Li Mubai said every word. "Boss Ye just promised me that once I take action, he will fully cooperate with me. Destroy Chen Chong in the shortest possible time."
"This is your plan." Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically. Then he glanced at Ye Shiguan lightly. "Work with him."
Li Mubai nodded, and then said slowly: "Perhaps in your opinion, Boss Ye and I should not cooperate. But I hope you understand, Mr. Xiao, that there are no eternal enemies in this world. In addition, I also want to give Mr. Xiao once said that the enemy of your enemy is your friend."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but shrugged and said: "In the final analysis, your affairs have nothing to do with me. I am just a small employee now. I have no interest in your affairs."
"Mr. Xiao is a man who achieves great things." Li Mubai said seriously. "How can you condescend to work as a security guard for a small company? This is really a great insult to your ability."
"What do you mean?" Bai Yujiao said in a deep voice. "What is an insult? Do you look down on people who work as security guards? You don't need to take security guards with you when you go out. Without security guards, you are not afraid of being hacked to death in the street."
Bai Yujiao guessed who the men sitting at the dining table were.
Li Mubai. Ye Shiguan.
Now Mingzhu is the most powerful brother on the road. It can even be said that if the two of them join forces, the Pearl Underworld will be unified as never before.
But so what.
She is not a gangster, but a former law enforcer. She doesn't care how powerful the other party's identity is. All she knew was that the other party had insulted them as security guards. Whoever dares to insult her will definitely not be looked down upon by her.
Li Mubai was not angry when he heard Bai Yujiao's sarcasm. He just smiled and shook his head and said, "I have never looked down on security guards. As you said, without security guards, I would be worried even when I go out. I just think that with Mr. Xiao's talent , should not just be a security guard. He still has a long and bright future to pursue."
"Fooling with you." Bai Yujiao mocked. "Being hacked to death. Or lying dead on the street. That's what you call Great Expectations."
"It seems that Miss Bai has a big misunderstanding of our industry." Li Mubai said with a smile.
"I only know that the meal you ate and the glass of wine you drank were bloody and disgusting." Bai Yujiao said with disdain.
boom.
Black Bear, who was drinking heavily, slapped his hand on the dining table, and glared at Bai Yujiao with a pair of red eyes: "Believe it or not, I will smash your mouth."
It is no small matter that a black bear is angry. Even Lan Xin was startled by the sudden attack of the black bear. His face turned pale.
When Xiao Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said calmly: "When will it be your turn to speak here?"
The anger on Black Bear's face remained unabated, but he didn't know whether it was the habit of obeying Xiao Zheng's words that he had developed over the years, or whether deep down in his heart, he still didn't believe what Xiao Zheng had done. He couldn't help but groan, sat down, and continued drinking.
Seeing that Black Bear was still in awe of Xiao Zheng, Li Mubai couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Xiao, maybe you think I shouldn't cooperate with Boss Ye. But in my opinion, who to cooperate with and how to cooperate, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Zhao family , without damaging the foundation left by Fourth Master, any form of cooperation is harmless. This is true in the shopping mall, and it is also true in the world. What do you think?"
Xiao Zheng said lightly: "This is your business and has nothing to do with me. I don't want to participate either."
"But I really hope you will join us." Li Mubai said every word. "I believe in your ability, and so does Boss Ye. With you here, we can unify the Pearl more quickly and look at the whole of China."
"A very grand ideal." Xiao Zheng commented expressionlessly. "But you are not afraid that I will tip off Shen Manjun."
"Tell the news," Li Mubai smiled and shook his head. "Does she believe what you said?"
"At least I can guard against you, right?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Zhao Jialing is already in my hands. She also agreed to take a back seat." Li Mubai said word by word. "What do you think is the point of telling her now?"
"You will be embarrassed." Xiao Zheng said.
"I have a hundred reasons to appease Shen Manjun." Li Mubai said. "What's more, do you think Shen Manjun is a woman worth serving? With her ability, do you believe she can inherit the Fourth Master's legacy?"
"I said, these have nothing to do with me and are nothing to consider." Xiao Zheng said lightly.
"I said it too. As long as you are willing to join us..." Li Mubai said word by word. "Boss Ye and I are willing to share the world with you."
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly.
"I'm really not interested," Li Mubai stared at Xiao Zheng calmly. "Do you want to be a small security guard all your life, earning a meager salary and living a life looked down upon by women?"
Li Mubai said seriously: "Mr. Xiao, as long as you are willing, we can make you become the most respected man in Pearl. Live in a big house, drive a luxury car, and have endless money. All of this is just in your mind. Even if you just nod your head, you can enjoy a life that others cannot have in their lifetime."
Xiao Zheng was silent and lit a cigarette. For a long time, he slowly raised his head and did not answer Li Mubai's question directly. Instead, he asked Lan Xin, who was sitting uneasily next to him: "How much savings do you have now?"
"Ah," Lan Xin was confused by the question.
"Let me ask you, how much savings do you have," Xiao Zheng asked gently. His eyes were full of comfort.
"More than ten million..." Lan Xin hesitated.
"Counting all the real estate and valuable things," Xiao Zheng continued to ask.
"About fifty million." Lan Xin said implicitly.
"I remember that you are a shareholder of Xinao." Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
"Yeah..." Lan Xin nodded.
"If the company goes public, how much can you cash out," Xiao Zheng asked.
Lan Xin's eyes were subtle and her expression was complicated, but looking at Xiao Zheng's extremely serious expression, she finally confessed frankly: "About... 300 million."
"Listen."
Xiao Zheng grinned, slowly embraced Lan Xin's slender shoulders, and said proudly: "My girlfriend is only twenty-six years old, but she is already a billionaire. When the company goes public in the future, she will open a branch and continue to spin off and go public. , I think when she reaches your age, she may have a net worth of one billion, or even more."
"You think I would let such a rich girlfriend go and join you in the underworld? Are you out of your mind, or are you fighting and killing all day long, and your brains have been knocked stupid?"
Xiao Zheng stood up slowly with Lan Xin in his arms, his face full of ridicule, and said indifferently: "A bunch of idiots."
