Chapter 893: Chapter 898: This Is Very Simple (Part 1)
It seemed like there was a "whoosh," and all the parents present looked at Zhong Tianchu.
Ten million!
Even in a major city, that could buy a pretty nice house, let alone in a second or third-tier city, where it would definitely be a villa by the sea, on the road to lifeâs peak.
But aside from Lin Xi, everyone believed that Zhong Tianchu definitely wouldnât fork out ten million.
Without any proof or evidence, just some empty words, this couldnât have any binding force.
So anyone who gave ten million would be a fool.
Because not only would there be no benefit, Lin Xi would be humiliated, which would be nothing short of extremely bad luck.
At this moment, as everyone said, Zhong Tianchuâs face turned green, wishing he could kill Lin Xi with his glare.
Simultaneously, if it werenât for his young son beside him, heâd really want to leave immediately, not wanting to stay here for even a moment.
Itâs really shameful and a trap!
This feeling of being trapped was like bleeding in his heart!
"Brother, leave room for maneuver, it might be good to meet again!" He forcibly suppressed his anger and spoke nicely to Lin Xi.
Obviously, heâd bowed his head!
The others also looked at Lin Xi, internally thinking thereâs no need to insist, since Zhong Tianchu had already essentially bowed his head.
So there was no need to let the situation get so rigid!
After all, Zhong Tianchu was also a personality whoâd been on TV, there was no need to completely offend him.
But Lin Xi, how could he let it go so easily!
This person was thinking too simply!
"Meet again?" Lin Xi couldnât help but laugh, "I think youâll not necessarily want to meet me afterward!"
"Or rather, youâll think itâs best we donât meet again!"
Zhong Tianchu didnât understand Lin Xiâs words, but seeing Lin Xi smiling, he thought the matter had been brushed aside.
Ten million!
No matter how impressive the young man was, he wouldnât set him up like that, right?
If he really wanted to trap him, then the two would truly end up as mortal enemies in the future.
Itâs like cutting off oneâs financial path, akin to killing oneâs parents.
He seemed to understand!
When Zhong Tianchu and others were thinking this, Lin Xi turned to look at the preschool teacher, "When will your finance team arrive?"
"Wouldnât you be eager if you received a ten million donation?"
The preschool teacher was stunned for a moment, clearly didnât expect this young man to completely disregard the dignity of that parent.
But at this moment, she didnât know what to say.
Regarding these parents, she didnât want to offend any of them.
Others were also stunned; this was setting up a feud!
Zhong Tianchuâs slightly better complexion immediately darkened, looking at Lin Xiâs faint smile, he understood.
This kid never intended to let it go from beginning to end!
Since thatâs the case, he simply decided to discard his reputation.
Ten million to him was much more important than face.
He might as well take his son and leave, not enrolling in this school.
After all, heâd previously considered enrolling his son in a better kindergarten.
So at this moment, he said directly to the preschool teacher, "Ignore that person, letâs proceed to the next game!"
The preschool teacher never expected a ten million donation.
Upon hearing this, she also somewhat wanted to announce the next game, which could alleviate the current standoff.
Otherwise, one doesnât want to donate, the other wants to force the donation, and that will raise issues.
Would everyone just stand here waiting for the two?
Then the event for parents and kids today would be meaningless.
But before she could nod, another restaurant owner standing in the corner said, "No matter what business youâre in, especially in the dining industry, you must have credibility, you must follow through."
"Otherwise, how would customers trust eating there?"
Evidently, this restaurant owner saw the matter was about to end and couldnât help but add a cutting remark.
Zhong Tianchu quietly glared at this person, not speaking.
At this moment, maintaining silence was best; arguing might only make things worse.
As for others, they didnât say much, thinking theyâd just watch the drama unfold. If it ended halfway, as spectators who paid nothing, there wasnât much they could do.
One person initially standing with Zhong Tianchu, Feng Zi, wanted to play good cop and said, "Letâs begin the game!"
"Donât let the little ones wait too long!"
In fact, everyone including the children in arms or standing on the ground had been the most attentive audience in this short period, although they didnât understand what adults were saying.
However, there was one thing; they were indeed bored.
Upon hearing about the next game, they immediately perked up, eager to participate.
Faced with this scene, Lin Xi said nothing more, instead directly took out his phone, found Shangguan Nishangâs number, and called.
A lazy yet seductive voice came from the other side, asking what was going on, why he suddenly called?
Lin Xi didnât waste words, it wasnât appropriate to flirt with Shangguan Nishang in front of Xixi.
He simply said, "I remember your Shangguan family also has a business in the restaurant industry, and in Chuzhou City, youâre quite influential, right?"
"Right, whatâs up?"
"Itâs like this, Iâm here with someone named Zhong Tianchu who owes me ten million but wants to default!"
"In this situation, what help can you provide?"
No hesitance from the other end, "Iâve heard of this person, but this issue is simple, I can handle it in no time."
"Once I help you, you owe me a favor, okay!"
"No problem!" Lin Xi said.
"Hehe, then itâs settled!" To Shangguan Nishang, Lin Xiâs favor was quite valuable.
Soon, they hung up.
The people present heard Lin Xiâs words, but didnât hear Shangguan Nishangâs.
So at that moment, they were curious about whom Lin Xi called?
And if the person on the other end could resolve the issue?
Even Zhong Tianchu was curious at that point, although he didnât believe others could make him pay.
After all, there werenât any receipts for this matter.
But his phone rang just as he had this thought.
When he picked up, before he could say a word, the person on the other end started speaking nonstop, causing him to look increasingly shocked and angered in everyoneâs eyes.
After hanging up, he was in a daze.
How could this be?
Next moment, his phone rings again, his face turns even darker after answering.
Following that, one call after another, ten calls in total.
By that time, his face looked as if heâd suffered the loss of his parents and children, and there was a deep confusion and incomprehensibility.
Why?
Why was the restaurant association giving him trouble, why was the high-ranking Shangguan family giving him trouble?
When these people create trouble, it means he canât survive in Chuzhou City.
He has branches in many first-tier cities, but compared to the ten stores in Chuzhou City, theyâre nothing.
In addition, Chuzhou City is his home base.
Once lost, it means heâll go bankrupt and struggle.
Forget millions in annual profit, even earning a hundred thousand would be difficult.
Suddenly, he intensely looked at Lin Xi, "Is this your doing?"
He recalled the call earlier, which was right when all the trouble he couldnât resist started coming.
Heâd never faced anything like this despite being in Chuzhou City for years.
He was merely a small figure to those people.
He mustâve offended someone, which led to this.
He had always been cautious, never offending people he shouldnât, except just now, he had offended this young man whom he couldnât see through.
