Li Yang mentioned a clothing company, and Zheng Jiaqi was astonished. The shift in industry was too significant.
However, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking to make her happy, Zheng Jiaqi thanked him, "Thank you, boss."
"You changed your address so quickly?" Li Yang said with a smile as they walked.
When they reached the private room, Er Duo Dong immediately asked the waiter to add another set of cutlery.
They had already ordered many dishes, and it was impossible for one person to finish them all. Instead, with a beautiful woman dining beside them, everyone ate even more happily.
Even Zheng Xibei felt a natural good impression towards this girl with the same surname. "Boss Li, I've heard of President Hu. He's the general manager of Gulei Financial Company, with a market value of hundreds of billions. He's not only among the top 500 enterprises nationwide but also very famous in Jiangcheng."
"Oh?" Li Yang looked at him.
Zheng Xibei said, "He's one of the eight great families of Jiangcheng, ranking second, just below the wealthiest Tian family. However, unlike the Tian family, which has strict family traditions, always fulfills promises, and enjoys collecting antiques and jade, the Hu family has had a tradition of collecting beauties for generations."
"Especially in this generation, this President Hu is even more prominent in this regard. Any beauty he sets his sights on, he will obtain. In a large villa in Jiangcheng, he keeps dozens of exceptionally beautiful women for his pleasure."
"And as far as I know, he owns no less than ten villas locally, and has properties across the country. Almost every one of them houses a beauty."
"So, he won't give up," Li Yang said.
Zheng Xibei nodded, "He definitely won't give up unless the opponent is very strong and leaves him no choice."
"That's good then, my strength is very strong, he should be sensible," Li Yang said with a smile.
Zheng Xibei paused, sized him up a few times, and then fell silent.
Wang Dongsheng, standing nearby, burst out laughing, "Boss Li, I admit you are indeed very strong, but it depends on who you compare yourself to."
"Gulei Financial Group is just the core industry of the Hu family. They have many other large and small industries, with a combined market value of at least over three hundred billion. You claiming to be stronger than him, I think it's highly doubtful."
"Mr. Wang, strength and weakness cannot be compared so simply," Li Yang said with a smile. "No matter how rich the Hu family is, they can't just smash me to death with money."
"Even if he throws money at me, he can only throw one bundle at a time, at most a box. And to deal with him, I only need one punch."
"You're quite confident," Wang Dongsheng chuckled, still not optimistic about him.
Just then, with a bang, the door was kicked open, and several rough-looking, intimidating men walked in.
Li Yang raised an eyebrow and looked behind them. He saw the previously mentioned Boss Qi, fawning over a middle-aged man in his early fifties, saying something.
This man was dressed head-to-toe in custom-made top luxury clothing. One hand held a beautiful woman of superior looks, while the other held a pair of glass-type emerald balls. His triangular eyes coldly scanned the room and immediately landed on Zheng Jiaqi, a spark flashing in his eyes.
"President Hu, it's this brat who ruined your good deed," Boss Qi immediately pointed at Li Yang and shouted.
Unexpectedly, President Hu frowned, and an emerald ball directly smashed her nose bridge, "Noisy!"
"Ah!" Boss Qi clutched her nose. Even though she was bleeding profusely, she dared not disrespect him. Instead, she picked up the emerald ball, wiped her hands, and offered it, saying fearfully, "I'm sorry, President Hu, I was noisy."
"Miss Zheng, I've learned about what happened before. They were too rude to you, which pains me," President Hu said to Zheng Jiaqi with a smile, not even glancing at her. "But don't worry, I will punish them severely."
"Can you attend my birthday banquet now?"
"I'm sorry, President Hu, I don't like crowded places, and I'm not familiar with you, so I cannot attend your birthday banquet," Zheng Jiaqi quickly stood up and refused.
President Hu's brow furrowed but quickly relaxed, and he smiled, "Miss Zheng is still concerned about what happened before?"
"How about this, I'll have someone break their legs in front of you. Will that appease you?"
"President Hu, you've misunderstood me. I really don't want to attend your banquet," Zheng Jiaqi quickly said. Although she was angry with Boss Qi and the others, she didn't want to break their limbs.
After all, Li Yang had already helped her vent her anger before.
President Hu said, "I understand. Since that's the case, I won't force you. However, Boss Qi and the others were trying to give me a gift. Someone hitting them is equivalent to slapping my face, Hu Yaoguang."
"I still need to settle this score."
"President Hu, don't speak nonsense with your eyes open. I haven't touched any of them from beginning to end. If you want to cause trouble for me, you don't need to frame me," Li Yang said with a smile.
Hu Yaoguang's eyes turned cold, and he flicked his hand, slapping the face of Boss Qi, who was kneeling at his feet like a dog.
With a crack, Boss Qi's face turned blood red.
Hu Yaoguang sneered, "This is how you hit them."
"Interesting," Li Yang raised an eyebrow. "Just one slap, and you want to settle the score with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a crack, Hu Yaoguang immediately delivered several more slaps to Boss Qi's face, "This should be enough."
"You're framing me!" Zheng Jiaqi said angrily. This was too much.
But Li Yang couldn't help but applaud, "Well hit, thank you, President Hu, you saved me the effort of a few slaps."
"You!" Hu Yaoguang's eyes widened, somewhat annoyed.
He hadn't expected that after being framed so openly, Li Yang would not only not be angry but would even applaud, treating him as a substitute and playing with him.
"Since you've beaten my people like this, no one can say anything if I teach you a lesson. If this gets out, you'll have no grounds."
"What a Hu Yaoguang who twists black and white. If you spent a few days in Africa, everyone there would be fair-skinned," Li Yang teased.
Hu Yaoguang said coldly, "Attack!"
"Yes, President Hu!" The burly men who kicked open the door immediately walked towards Li Yang with cold smiles.
One person tried to grab Li Yang's arm, another was ready to knock out Li Yang's teeth, and several others raised their feet to break Li Yang's legs.
In short, Hu Yaoguang wanted Li Yang to clearly understand the consequences of disrupting his collection of beauties!
As they were about to make their move, Li Yang remained seated without moving, a slight smile on his face. He simply raised one hand, which suddenly turned into an afterimage!
