Chapter Ten Taking Over the Wine Shop

  All he saw was that the voice was loud and clear, and Li Jiancheng vaguely felt that this voice seemed a bit familiar! Looking in the direction of the voice, hey! Aren't those the few dandies who were beaten by his bodyguards the other day? I didn't expect to run into them again. And those few seemed not to have seen him, but stared at the boss, and he also looked at the boss with a puzzled gaze.

  "Hehe, everyone, sorry about this. This young master has already bought the wine house and even stamped his seal on the contract." The boss said fearlessly.

  "Damn it, who's got the guts to mess with me? Even the wine house I've been eyeing is being taken over." As he spoke, he looked towards Li Jiancheng and suddenly his eyes widened.

  "Ah, it's you again, I didn't think you'd dare show up here." The guy had already recognized him. "Listen, kid, hand over the wine shop if you know what's good for you. You don't want to mess with the people I hang out with, or it'll be your death sentence." This guy seemed to have gotten smarter and was afraid of being beaten by his bodyguards again, so he brought up the name of Mount Tai.

  "Oh! I don't know, who are you hanging out with?" Li Jiancheng asked with a pretended fearful tone.

  "Haha, you know fear now! We're with Dugu's Young Master Dugu Yong." The guy said with a self-satisfied smile, waiting for Li Jiancheng to beg for mercy.

  "Haha!" I laughed when I heard his excuse.

  "Hey kid, what are you laughing at?" The flower-like young master shouted loudly.

  "I'm wondering if you're really following the Dugu family or if the one you're following is just a useless side branch." Li Jiancheng sneered, not even knowing that Dugu Feng, who was most favored by You Chuhong, didn't dare to say that he was following the Dugu family. Even if it were true, once discovered, they would be immediately put back in their place.

  "Hey, kid, stop pretending to be something you're not. You should know that Dugu Yong is the ninth young master of the Dugu family. Now, hurry up and apologize, and I might forgive you if I'm in a good mood." This guy still thinks Li Jiancheng doesn't know about the Dugu family. But in his past life, he had never even heard of Dugu Yong, probably because he was nobody important.

  "It seems that you won't shed tears until you see a coffin. Do you know who the little girl was that you teased last time?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile.

  "Hmph! Who cares who she is? It's her good fortune to be noticed by me." A pale-faced, obviously over-indulgent guy chimed in beside him.

  "Ignorance! Have you guys ever heard of the little phoenix of the Dugu family? That's right, the one you're teasing is actually the most favored Dugu Feng of the Dugu family. Hmph, not even recognizing her and yet daring to say they mix with the Dugu family." Li Jiancheng sneered.

  Those guys turned pale, they were completely scared this time. Even if you don't know, I've heard Dugu Yong say that the most welcome person in the Dugu family is actually Little Miss Dugu Feng, we're done for this time.

  "Hey, kid, you're scaring people! How could you possibly know them?" one of the men said with a mixture of ferocity and cunning. The others nearby nodded in agreement, "Yeah, how could this kid possibly know them?" They all turned their attention to me. Meanwhile, Li Jiancheng calmly pulled out his jade pendant, "Heh heh, my young master is the eldest son of the Tang Guo Gong Fu, you think I don't know him?" After saying that, Li Jiancheng had a sly look on his face. When they heard Li Jiancheng mention his family name, these people became even more frightened. Originally, they thought it was just a matter of offending the Du Gu family, but now they had also offended the Li family, which was no less powerful than the Du Gu family. These few men were only acquainted with the Du Gu family because their families did business together, and they weren't as formidable as they claimed to be. The Du Gu family was their backing, and now that they had offended both families, they didn't know how they would die.

  "This old man, we didn't recognize Mount Tai, please spare us, we'll disappear from your sight immediately." One of the smarter ones quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. The others followed suit and also knelt down. Li Jiancheng looked at them and sighed, "Society is just so realistic. Without power or background, you get bullied." He figured that the boss must have been intimidated by these people and they had offered a price that was too low, so the boss didn't want to sell and put up the notice. Unexpectedly, this time he was played by the boss. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng turned his head and glared at the boss fiercely.

  "Alright, I won't mention this time and last time's matter. Hope you guys don't get caught by me again, or else you won't be so lucky next time. Off with you!" After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng waved his hand to let them leave, while the few of them quickly scrambled up from the ground and were about to run away. "Wait a minute." Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, these people's hearts sank by half, thinking he was going back on his word. "My young master doesn't want anyone to know that this wine shop is his acquisition, you guys know what to do now."

  "Yes, yes! We'll keep this matter in our stomachs." Those people hurriedly promised. "Alright, nothing's wrong, let's go!" Upon hearing Li Jiancheng's voice, those people were like they had heard a heavenly sound, and hastily left. They truly came and went in a hurry, and as a result, they all swung their sleeves and didn't bring anything away with them.

  At this time, Li Jiancheng turned around and looked at the boss with a sly smile. "This little brother, I'm forced to do so, I hope you won't hold it against me, these 10 gold bars are a small gift for your esteemed self, please don't tell your young master about it." The boss said, handing over 10 gold bars to Li Jiancheng, then looked at him with eager eyes.

  "Alright, let's just forget it! Let's go!" As soon as the boss heard Li Jiancheng's words, he hastily ran into the house and immediately brought out several people, two of whom seemed to be his wives, three sons, and a daughter. Everything was packed up already! It turned out that he had been preparing to run away all along. Two sons came forward to carry the box containing gold bars, and then the group quickly left through the back door.

  "Wait!" The boss was startled by Li Jiancheng's voice. He finally understood how the others felt earlier. "Same here, my young master doesn't want people to know that he bought this restaurant."

  "The little one knows what to say and what not to say." The boss hastily assured.

  "Nothing's wrong, let's go!" Li Jiancheng waved his hand and the boss's family hastily left through the back door, afraid that I would change my mind.

  Everyone has left, and this wine house is finally his! From now on, it will also be the base for him to make things. When he arrived at the hall, it was not yet time for dinner, and there were not many people in this store. He took a look and saw that there were not many people, so he directly ordered the door closed, and those who were still eating were asked to leave, without paying for their meals! Originally, some people were dissatisfied with being driven away, but when they heard that they didn't have to pay, they left in a short while. Then Li Jiancheng called them all to the first floor hall to discuss something.

  "You must also know that this store has changed owners now." After finishing, he saw several people nodding their heads, apparently they all knew. "Now the owner of this wine house is my family's young master, but you don't need to know who my family's young master is. Just knowing that in Daxing City, your future boss will still have some ability." Seeing several people nodding their heads, Li Jiancheng continued to say, now he realized why the leaders of his previous life liked to speak out loud, it turned out this feeling was really cool. "Of course, my family's young master won't come here to be the boss, in the future he will just be a behind-the-scenes boss, and my family's young master will arrange someone else to come here to be the boss, so you all have to listen to her from now on, as long as you do well, what you get won't be less than before." Li Jiancheng had just finished speaking when they started applauding, this was what they were concerned about.

  Look at this store, there are still five young boys inside, all of them are males, probably they are just serving tea and delivering food. The ones cooking in the kitchen are probably the boss's family members, their cooking skills should not be that good, so there aren't many customers coming in. Later on, let Madam Qin come to manage this store, Li Jiancheng is worried that she will be bullied by others as a woman, it seems like they need to hire several more female employees.

  "Alright! So the store will be closed for a few days, and you'll all still get paid. After a few days, we'll redecorate and reopen." With that, Li Jiancheng dismissed them to go home, locked up the store, and headed home himself to eat dinner. He had been busy all day and hadn't even eaten lunch. Besides, there was also a big mountain of pressure waiting for him at home - if he didn't hurry back, he'd probably get scolded again!
