When Fang Yi was cooking in the kitchen, guests outside had already started arriving one after another, with Ying Zheng and Rong Quan welcoming them.
Among the two, Ying Zheng was more composed in dealing with people, while Rong Quan was a bit younger and less experienced.
Don’t be deceived by Ying Zheng’s seemingly sly demeanor; though he sometimes seems shameless, he’s been navigating the commercial sea for over a decade. When he gets serious, he is more upright than anyone else, without a single flaw.
However, despite this, when Ying Zheng received the first guest, he couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart, his legs went weak, almost losing composure.
This was because the first group of guests arrived in one of those exclusive cars, from which two elderly men stepped out, introducing themselves as Liu Duanguang and Wu Boqing.
They had heard from Fang Yi that these two elders were veterans of the Dragon Team, naturally holding significant status, and in any city of Xuan Cang, they were illustrious figures.
And from their demeanor, one of the elders had a limp, wobbling as he walked, yet one couldn’t underestimate him.
Just as the two elders stepped out of the car, a young man followed. This young man had an aura of arrogance and walked without looking around. When Ying Zheng went forward to greet the two elders, this young man immediately stopped him.
The young man coldly said, "Don’t get close, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Ying Zheng replied with a smile, "Dear young brother, I’m here to welcome Elder Liu and Elder Wu, you see..."
However, the young man’s gaze remained cold, giving Ying Zheng no face at all.
"Jingtian!" Liu Duanguang said sternly, "Do not be disrespectful."
Lin Jingtian slightly lowered his head, "Yes."
He glanced at Ying Zheng and Rong Quan, his eyes cold, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, disdain written all over his face.
Ying Zheng and Rong Quan were not fools; they naturally sensed Lin Jingtian’s contempt towards them. Feeling oppressed, they had to endure it, as they were not Fang Yi. In front of someone like Lin Jingtian, they had no choice but to keep a low profile.
Ying Zheng forced a smile, stepped aside, and made an inviting gesture, "Elder Liu, Elder Wu, please come inside."
Liu Duanguang and Wu Boqing walked into the barbecue restaurant together.
Lin Jingtian was the last to go in, but he glanced at the plaque above the barbecue restaurant.
At this moment, Liu Duanguang and Wu Boqing had already gone inside. Lin Jingtian sneered and said mockingly, "Qingtian Barbecue Restaurant? Heh, does this Fang Yi really think he’s something just because he has an old bastard backing him? That old bastard will die sooner or later!"
Ying Zheng and Rong Quan’s faces changed, even though they didn’t know who Lin Jingtian meant by ’old bastard,’ they could tell that Lin Jingtian’s words were an insult to Fang Yi.
Lin Jingtian still didn’t hurry inside, but turned his gaze to the two of them, chuckled lightly, and said, "What’s the matter? Did I insult Fang Yi and make you two feel unhappy?"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "As a guest from afar, Young Master Lin, I’d still ask you to respect the host here."
Lin Jingtian said with a faint smile, "My being here is already giving face to Fang Yi. It’s just a shabby barbecue restaurant, heh."
After speaking, Lin Jingtian put his hands behind his back and strode into the barbecue restaurant.
The two men watched Lin Jingtian go in, their expressions filled with anger.
"If Brother Yi were here, that brat would probably be lying on the ground," Rong Quan said. Find the newest release on novel{f}ire.net
"Exactly!" Ying Zheng cursed under his breath, "Damn, what’s so impressive about putting on airs with us? If he dared to act in front of Brother Fang, he’d be beaten for sure!"
