"I said the same thing when I came in the morning, but Tianbao said that at first they thought it was a big hotel and thought it must have a good reputation."
"When I didn't pay them just now, I realized that their hotel must have had a bad reputation. Other suppliers stopped cooperating with them. That's why they turned to small wholesale stores like Tianbao."
The fat man looked helpless.
"If it weren't for the fact that we grew up together, I would really be too lazy to care about him. He is self-righteous in everything and refuses to listen to any advice. After we went back, we inquired about the small wholesale stores nearby. There were almost all large and small wine wholesale stores near the Tiantai Hotel. I still owe a lot of money for the issuance.”
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be speechless.
The three of them walked slowly towards the hotel. As soon as they reached the door of the first floor, four or five burly men in black suits came out and glared at the fat man and Dong Tianbao fiercely.
"Why are you two here again? Didn't I tell you that I had no money? What, you found another helper?" Several people glanced at Ye Zhiqiu with disdain.
Dong Tianbao was so frightened that he trembled and hid behind Fatty and Ye Zhiqiu.
When Ye Zhiqiu saw his cowardly look, he felt even more contemptuous.
"Are you responsible? Let your boss come out. If you don't pay back so much money, will we still be able to do business?" the fat man said angrily.
A dark-faced man said coldly: "Damn fat man, were you beaten lightly just now?"
The fat man was unafraid and was about to retort when Ye Zhiqiu stepped in front of the fat man and said, "Is this how your Tiantai Hotel does business? If you don't pay someone else money for goods, you'll beat them up if they ask for it?"
"Boy, where did you come from? No one dares to cause trouble in our Tiantai Hotel!" Several men stared at Ye Zhiqiu fiercely.
"Hey, you don't pay back the money you owe, and you beat people, you Tiantai Hotel is so awesome!" Ye Zhiqiu snorted coldly.
"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about here?" Suddenly, a man's scolding voice came from inside.
Everyone turned around and saw a tall man in his thirties slowly walking over, accompanied by five or six younger men.
The man had a stern face, a five- to six-centimeter long scar on his right face, and a ferocious expression.
"Brother Tai!"
Everyone around him hurriedly said hello.
"You two are back again?" Chen Hongtai walked up and glanced at Fatty and Dong Tianbao.
When Dong Tianbao saw him, he was trembling with fear.
"Are you in charge?" Ye Zhiqiu said calmly.
"Are you standing up for them? Do you think you are the eldest brother because you are calmer than them?" Chen Hongtai looked at Ye Zhiqiu and snorted softly.
"I'm not their eldest brother, I'm just standing up for my friend. Since you're in charge, that's fine. It's not like you owe more than 8 million in payment for a hotel as big as yours!"
"A few million dollars is just a drop in the bucket for your hotel! But it's a huge sum of money for their small wholesale store. If you don't pay the settlement, they will close down!"
"Close the door? That's your business! What does it have to do with me? I don't have any money. I'll wait until I have money later!" Chen Hongtai sneered.
"Remember, what I said is that I don't have money now, not that I won't pay it back!"
"Also, you are a good boy? How dare you talk to me in this tone when you want to pay?" Chen Hongtai looked at Ye Zhiqiu condescendingly, with anger on his face.
"No one in Dongcheng District or even in Jianghai City dares to speak to me in this tone!"
"Boy, are you tired of living?"
Ye Zhiqiu sneered: "What? Are you a member of society?"
The faces of Chen Hongtai and several of his men instantly became extremely cold: "Boy, don't talk nonsense! We are serious businessmen!"
"Since you are a serious businessman, then settle the payment! Otherwise, write a specific written certificate indicating the specific settlement date! Don't delay it indefinitely!"
"You brat, I'm sorry for you, aren't you?" Chen Hongtai was furious and waved his right hand.
Several of the younger brothers around them cheered and surrounded Ye Zhiqiu and the other three.
Dong Tianbao was so frightened that he trembled and hid behind the fat man.
"Look, everyone, Tiantai Hotel won't pay the money they owe, and they beat people in public! This is a gang!" Ye Zhiqiu shouted.
Although it was past lunch time, there were still many guests coming to eat. When everyone saw this scene, they immediately stopped in their tracks, and many people even turned around and left.
"Damn it, I'll kill you!" Chen Hongtai was furious and was about to pounce on Ye Zhiqiu.
"Chen Hongtai, what are you doing?" At this moment, a woman's shout suddenly came.
Chen Hongtai suddenly stopped and saw a young girl striding in from outside surrounded by more than a dozen men in black.
The surrounding guests and spectators couldn't help but disperse to both sides.
The woman was in her late thirties, wearing a red tube top dress. She was unusually tall, her hair was tied up, she had a delicate appearance, she wore blue eye shadow, and she had a cold aura about her body.
"Miss!"
Chen Hongtai led everyone to greet them hurriedly and respectfully.
The woman gave Chen Hongtai a cold look.
"What's it like to fight in public? Little brother, my name is Xu Jingjing. I am the boss of this hotel. My subordinates didn't handle it well. If there is anything, let's go to the office to talk about it."
The fat man tugged Ye Zhiqiu's sleeve lowly. Ye Zhiqiu knew what the fat man meant, and while walking side by side with Xu Jingjing, he smiled and said: "Miss Xu, you didn't call me to the office, or did you tell me that you didn't? ?”
"With so many people here, do you find it inconvenient to talk?"
Xu Jingjing looked at Ye Zhiqiu coldly, with a hint of ferocity in her two bright eyes.
Many people knew that this was what Xu Jingjing had in mind, but they would definitely go with her if they took the other person's face into consideration. No one had ever spoken out openly like Ye Zhiqiu.
Xu Jingjing's eyes were fixed on Ye Zhiqiu, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Little brother, it seems that you haven't left society yet! You've heard of the saying that it's easy to break when you're strong, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, I only know that it is reasonable to travel all over the world and pay back debts! It is only right!"
Xu Jingjing smiled slightly: "Little brother, it's not that our hotel refuses to pay, but that the funds are really difficult to circulate now. After a period of time, our funds are withdrawn, and the settlement will be made immediately!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Miss Xu, can you give me a specific time?"
"Or, let Dong Tianbao bring back goods worth 8.5 million to offset the account. What do you think?"
Dong Tianbao glanced at Ye Zhiqiu subconsciously and nodded in agreement.
Xu Jingjing, Chen Hongtai and others all changed their colors when they heard this.
"Little brother, what do you call me?" Xu Jingjing's voice was colder than ever.
