Chapter Fifty-six

  Ai Zi Qing was taken aback this time. What is Tang Feng discussing upstairs? Should I go up and take a look...

  She furrowed her brow slightly, unsure why, but ever since she heard that Tang Feng was preparing to operate a crowdfunding loan, Ai Zi Qing's intuition told her that something was off.

  In the previous life, during this period, many people who engaged in venture capital ended up losing everything, especially after the Asian financial storm affected the world. Later, the electronics industry developed rapidly, and many venture capitalists invested heavily in it, but what was the outcome?

  What brought these venture capitalists to financial ruin was not the financial crisis, but rather the intense competition within the electronics industry that led to this bloody disaster!

  Tang Feng actually wants to enter the venture capital industry as an outsider at this time, which is undoubtedly taking a huge risk. And hearing what he said about raising funds and finding lenders... Ai Zi Qing slightly frowned.

  Zheng Shaolong saw Ai Ziqing frowning and deep in thought, knowing it was inconvenient to disturb her, so he didn't stay long either. He stood up and bid farewell.

  "Zheng..." Seeing Zheng Shaolong leave, Li Yingxin and several girls finally reacted, realizing that Zheng Shaolong came over not because of them, but because he knew Ai Ziqing?

  Good heavens, they can't be serious! This is utterly unbelievable!

  So it wasn't until Zheng Shaolong left that several girls suddenly realized their idol was about to leave, wanting to shout out to stop him, but were pulled back by Li Yingxin's dark face. "Don't you have any shame? A small star who sings and acts, look at how you've gotten them all infatuated!" Li Yingxin hummed discontentedly.

  Several girls hastened to shut their mouths, some gazing wistfully at the idol as he walked further and further away until they left the gate before withdrawing their gaze, their eyes curiously sizing up Aizi Qing and Li Hui.

  Also remembered what Li Hui said before, it seems that they really had dinner with Zheng Shaolong at the same table... It's ridiculous that I was mocking him recklessly just now, but thinking about it now, isn't it ridiculous that I'm the one who's wrong?

  Thinking of this, several people's faces also became increasingly ugly.

  At this time, Ai Zi Qing suddenly slowly got up and said to Li Hui and others: "I'll go upstairs to see a friend, you guys wait here for me first."

  Li Hui and others were just beside Ai Zi Qing, so they naturally heard Zheng Shao Long's words. At this time, their eyes coincided strangely, with a sly look! Making Ai Zi Qing very helpless, she got up and left.

  According to Zheng Shaolong, Ai Ziqing came up to the second floor and just as she reached the top of the stairs, a man opened the door and walked towards the bathroom opposite.

  Ai Zi Qing saw the man's appearance and was taken aback for a moment.

  The man was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wearing a neat and tidy black suit, gold-rimmed glasses, although he had a somewhat pointed mouth and chin, but still looked like a refined gentleman.

  But what made Ai Zi Qing stunned was not these, but...

  Ai Zi Qing looked again at the room where the man came out, which was indeed the 203 VIP suite that Zheng Shao Long had mentioned.

  Ai Zi Qing raised an eyebrow, using her special ability to see through the wall, and saw that inside the private room, apart from Tang Feng, there was another man. The two were sitting very close together, seemingly discussing something. However, there were no briefcases or documents in the room, so it seemed like they were just meeting for the first time, getting acquainted and chatting, and wouldn't be signing any contracts. Ai Zi Qing felt at ease and didn't enter the room, instead turning around to head downstairs.

  It was only three or four minutes later, but after Ai Zi Qing went downstairs, she saw a scene that made her extremely headache!

  Li Hui and Li Yingxin suddenly started fighting, and it was quite intense.

  Red wine, glasses, fruit plates, and dried fruits were all over the floor. Even Li Junsheng, who had come forward to mediate, was hit by a wine bottle wielded by Li Hui and was left with a bloody face...

  "What's going on?" Ai Ziying hastily quickened her pace and grabbed Xiang Yao, who was in a hurry, and asked.

  "It's not that Li Yingxin and the others have dirty mouths, Ah Hui can't hold her liquor, originally someone who would get drunk after a few cups, how could she stand their provocations!" Xiang Yao said as she stepped forward to intervene.

  However... the manager that Li Junsheng knew had already rushed over upon hearing the news, and was shocked to see Li Junsheng leaning on the sofa with a head injury. He quickly walked up to Li Junsheng and asked him what happened.

  Only then did Li Junsheng, who was blocked by the manager, raise his hand and point to Ai Ziqing and Li Hui. The manager immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

  At this time, Li Hui was drunk and stimulated by the loud music, so she couldn't hear his voice. The anger that had been accumulating for a long time burst out, grabbing Li Yingxin's hair and starting to beat her up! No matter how Xiang Yao tried to stop her, she couldn't stop her at all.

  "Stop right there!" The manager was getting angry, daring to cause trouble here and hurting one of his own men!

  He hastily called over a waiter to get some gauze to stop Li Junsheng's bleeding, then waved his hand to summon the nightclub's "security" - or more accurately, their thugs.

  "Wait a minute, I think there's been some misunderstanding. Can't we talk things over?" Ai Zi Qing saw the manager suddenly become so aggressive and frowned slightly. If he called in his thugs, Li Hui would really be in trouble if she continued to make a scene. So Ai Zi Qing thought it was best to downplay the situation.

  After all, life is not about being able to tolerate everything and making enemies everywhere.

  However, the manager did not respond to Ai Zi Qing's words, but instead glared angrily at Li Hui who had just been pulled down.

  At this time, several 'security guards' had arrived and surrounded the area. Li Junsheng, who had just cleaned up his head wound, was furious: "Damn it, I invited you to eat and drink, but you still beat me? You stinky bitches! No one can leave today!" Where was his gentlemanly image from earlier? He was now a complete second-generation rich kid.

  "Brother Li..." At this time, Li Yingxin's hair was disheveled, her voice trembling with tears, and her face was slapped red by Li Hui. The several women beside her were not much better off, after all, the place they were in was not large, and there were too many people, so it was hard to move around, which is why Li Hui had the upper hand.

  But Li Yingxin only now deeply understands the saying "the scholar meets the soldier", no matter how deep her mind is, how poisonous her words are, when she encounters a tomboy like Li Hui who acts first and talks later, she is completely helpless...

  "It's none of your business, but today I'm going to make these ungrateful and stinky women take a good look!" Li Junsheng said with a gloomy tone, glancing at Ai Ziqing with some apprehension, recalling that she knew Zheng Shaolong, and couldn't figure out what their relationship was...

  But thinking of being beaten by these few stinky girls today, making oneself swallow one's teeth, and ending up in this situation, I'm so angry that I don't care about anything else.

  "We'll compensate for the broken things at their original price, and we'll also pay for your medical expenses. There's no need to make such a big fuss." Ai Zi Qing said with a sigh as she looked at Li Hui who was still fuming with anger.

  Li Junsheng's eyes lit up at the words, and he curled up the corner of his mouth in a cold smile:

  "Compensation? Can you afford it? A bottle of 1982 Lafite costs HK$20,000, I'd like to see you compensate me!"

  "What? Raffi is the one who invited us to drink, why should we pay?" Xiang Yao originally held Li Hui's hand, but now she couldn't help but widen her eyes and say angrily.

  Abao disdainfully glanced at Li Junsheng, spat out the cigarette butt on the ground and cursed: "Despicable person."

  Li Junsheng felt embarrassed upon hearing this, "I invited you to drink with good intentions to make friends, but you stinky girls don't know how to appreciate it. You still want me to treat you? No need for nonsense, hand over 30,000 yuan and I'll let you off today!"

  Li Junsheng thought that since things had already come to this, he might as well take advantage of the situation and get some money out of them. He couldn't just let them go without getting anything in return, especially after hearing Ai Ziqing's words earlier, which seemed to suggest that they were quite wealthy, and also considering their connection with Zheng Shaolong, who was definitely not short on funds.

  After all, who would not want to have more money? Especially for this second-generation rich kid who spends money on women like flowing water. Normally, he would scam people out of their money when driving and getting into accidents or disputes with others, but this is the first time it's happened with a woman.

  "30,000!?" Several girls widened their eyes in shock, even Li Yingxin was stunned on the spot...

  "Are you trying to rob me?" Ai Zi Qing raised an eyebrow, although 30,000 yuan wasn't a lot for her, it didn't mean she could be taken advantage of. Besides, she had never been the type to splurge money... except when doing something important, she was even quite frugal.

  "A bottle of wine costs 20,000 yuan, and I'm injured, but you don't need to compensate me for the things you broke? There are only three yuan left." Li Junsheng felt relieved seeing Ai Ziqing's frowning face.

  He had come over to chat her up tonight, aiming for Ai Zi Qing, but unexpectedly the latter was very calm, making him feel even more oppressed. In the end, she even got him to buy a bottle of Lafite, which really made him resentful, and now seeing her looking embarrassed, Li Jun Sheng naturally felt relieved.

  "Thirty thousand is already cheap for you, if you can't get it out, no one will leave tonight." The burly man next to the manager leered at Ai Ziying with a sly smile.

  "Are you still talking reason? Do you believe I'll have this den of thieves shut down?" Li Hui said angrily, having also caught her breath.

  "I'm not sure if it's a thieves' den or not, but in short, you want to leave today? One word... difficult!" The manager narrowed his eyes and sneered, what hadn't happened in this kind of place? Even the most despicable people had done things here, could they really not handle these few little girls?

  The woman facing so many big men's intimidation and threats just smiled disdainfully.

  Ai Zi Qing didn't bother to argue with others over such a trivial matter, and took out her phone to call David. After all, David was also a big shot in the deep water area, and Ai Zi Qing had chosen to study here in the first place for convenience and proximity.

  And it's naturally the simplest and most effective way for him to take charge of these things.

  Just as Aizi Qing was about to dial a number on her phone, a lively and interesting voice suddenly rang out:

  "Isn't it a bit too much for Manager He to blackmail my friend right under my nose?"

  He Manager and Li Junsheng turned their heads around, only to see Tang Feng standing behind them, momentarily stunned.

  Li Junsheng didn't know who this person was, but how could Manager He not know? Moreover, the important guest he had just mentioned was actually Tang Feng and his entourage.

  "Director Tang?" Manager He detected the displeasure in Tang Feng's tone. Although this nightclub's backstage was not small, it still couldn't afford to easily offend the influential gang leaders of Hong Kong... and the boss wouldn't risk offending the Tang family for just a small manager like him...

  So he hastily laughed and said: "What General Tang said is nonsense, I don't know your friend..."

  "Zi Qing, I said you can't stay still wherever you go." Tang Feng didn't pay attention to He Manager, but instead looked helplessly at the woman who had just put her phone back in her pocket.

  The first time I met her in Hong Kong was under the 'education' of our instructor, and this second meeting directly caused trouble at a nightclub.

  "Maybe I'm just a magnet for trouble." Aizi Qing also shrugged helplessly.

  "Pffft!" Li Hui and several others burst out laughing.

  Just now, Li Hui had planned to call his dad, thinking that even if he was beaten to death when he got back, he couldn't lose face outside. But after seeing Tang Feng, he suddenly put his heart back in his stomach and laughed carelessly.

  He Manager He also naturally understood who the friend in Tang Feng's mouth was, and at this time, he sweated a little cold sweat on his forehead, somewhat regretting that he had accompanied Li Junsheng in making trouble, after all, he was nothing but a small manager, if the other party insisted on dealing with him, it would be a matter of minutes...

  "It's really a case of 'a flood destroying the Dragon King Temple, with one's own family members not recognizing each other!' I almost took this young lady for a troublemaker...!" Manager He forced out a few dry laughs, trying to gloss over the situation and downplay its significance.

  "I heard Manager He say that if we want to leave here today, there's only one condition? Isn't it that I, Tang, can't leave this place unless I take out money?" As he spoke, Tang Feng's tone suddenly turned somewhat gloomy, and he gave Manager He and the several burly men a cold once-over, making their smiles even more stiff and unnatural.

  "Oh dear, misunderstanding... Mr. Tang, this is indeed a misunderstanding. In that case, let's consider today's meal on me, as an apology to Miss Ai and to make up for the shock. Hehe, I really didn't think this through, so I hope you all won't mind." Manager He turned his attention to Ai Zi Qing and Li Hui, repeatedly apologizing.

  He could also see that Tang Feng was intentionally taking the lead for Ai Zi Qing, so he immediately turned to apologize to Ai Zi Qing and others, which also showed his ability to be a smooth talker.

  "Fortunately, you're lucky today. If President Tang hadn't arrived early, I would have had this den of thieves sealed off!" Li Hui called out with some trepidation, as she could already imagine that if her father found out she had sneaked out to go clubbing and caused trouble, he might really dismember her...

  Although her words were mostly nonsense, Manager He wouldn't dare mock her at this time. So the latter just nodded awkwardly in agreement.

  Although Manager He apologized repeatedly, he also managed to be respectful but not humble, with his expressions and words being just right, so that people would not feel disgusted.

  Ai Zi Qing also ignored these matters, she didn't have the leisure to bother with these trivial things. Since the other party had already given her enough face, she simply nodded slightly and left with Li Hui and others, following Tang Fengyang's departure.

  Only Li Junsheng, who was left with a battered face and head injuries, and He Manager, who stood awkwardly in place, were left amidst the chaos.
