Capítulo 2017: Chapter 1895: Returning Home (6)

Song Xiaodong didn’t speak, yawning impatiently.

He knew that Song Xiaodong was a giant in Minghe, money was no issue for him, but Boss Feng couldn’t think of any other way apart from offering money.

“Mr. Song, we at the Land of Fish and Rice are planning to open a new store soon. When I retire, each of my two sons will have one store. How about this, my youngest son won’t get one, and I’ll gift this new store to Mr. Song, what do you think?” Boss Feng offered another condition.

Song Xiaodong found it amusing and turned his head, twisting his neck, and said to Boss Feng, “Boss Feng, my wealth is in Minghe, what use would I have for a restaurant in Quanzhou?”

Boss Feng thought for a moment and agreed it made sense, so he said, “How about this, when the new store opens, I’ll let Mr. Song buy shares, I’ll give up 20% equity, how’s that?”

Song Xiaodong remained unmoved.

Boss Feng understood that Song Xiaodong wasn’t interested in money.

As Boss Feng was at his wit’s end, his wife suddenly came down, ignored everyone, walked straight up to Boss Feng, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Boss Feng nodded quickly upon hearing, and said to Song Xiaodong and the Dragon Gate Warriors, “Mr. Song, please wait a moment, you all came here so early in the morning, you must be thirsty. Let me prepare some breakfast and drinks for you.”

Boss Feng then left, went upstairs, instructed someone to prepare snacks and soup, and then took the opportunity to call Su Lie.

“Mr. Su?” Boss Feng asked respectfully.

“Oh, it’s Boss Feng. What’s up? Didn’t I already have someone pay you for the last meal?” Su Lie thought Boss Feng was asking for money.

“No, no, no, Mr. Su, I’m reaching out to you for a different matter today.” Boss Feng quickly explained.

“Hmm? What other matter?” Su Lie asked, puzzled.

“Mr. Su, here’s the situation. Your friend, Mr. Song, had some dispute with our restaurant’s head waiter. Well, that head waiter is my niece, and in her ignorance, she had Mr. Song beaten. Now Mr. Song is lying bandaged at the entrance of my restaurant, refusing to leave. I really don’t know what to do, so I’m hoping Mr. Su can step in and speak a few kind words to Mr. Song for me!” Boss Feng pleaded with Su Lie.

“Mr. Song? You mean Song Xiaodong?” Su Lie’s tone turned cold.

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s Mr. Song. My niece didn’t know any better and upset Mr. Song. I hope Mr. Su can help me out!”

“I’m coming right away!” Su Lie had been delayed by some matters and hadn’t left Quanzhou immediately after leaving Mr. Song, which was lucky for Boss Feng; if Su Lie had gone, no one would know how this would end.

Boss Feng served the Dragon Gate Young Disciples some lotus seed porridge and desserts, crouched beside Song Xiaodong, still unsure how to satisfy him.

Su Lie arrived shortly, seeing Dragon Six and Song Xiaodong on the ground.

“Oh thank goodness, Mr. Su, you’re here. My niece was reckless and offended Mr. Song, please help speak a good word for me and calm Mr. Song down!” Boss Feng hurried far outside to greet Su Lie.

Su Lie glanced at Boss Feng with a complex expression, stared for a while, then walked into the restaurant, came up to Song Xiaodong, and understood immediately what was going on.

Not to mention a few thugs, even dozens couldn’t harm a hair on Song Xiaodong. As Su Lie approached, he checked, and found Song Xiaodong’s breathing was steady and his True Qi was full, completely unscathed.

However, he wondered what became of those ignorant thugs who had bothered Song Xiaodong. Su Lie shook his head after thinking about it.

Knowing Song Xiaodong was acting, Su Lie played along, raising his eyebrows, standing up, turning to Boss Feng, and asking, “What’s going on?”

“Oh, Mr. Su, please don’t be angry. It’s indeed our fault. Here’s what happened: a waiter accidentally bumped into Mr. Song’s injured wife, spilling a plate of leftovers, and the soup spilled on my niece, the head waiter. A few people started arguing, and I even had my niece apologize to Mr. Song personally. However, I didn’t expect my ignorant niece to gather some thugs to attack Mr. Song. Now Mr. Song is like this, it’s my poor supervision, and I’ve already fired my niece. But I’m not sure what will satisfy Mr. Song!”

Su Lie was aware of Sun Yiyi’s situation; she had expressed concerns at the celebration banquet about possible scars on her back. If it turned out the waiter did bump into Sun Yiyi, Boss Feng would be in deep trouble, not to mention his niece hiring people to settle the score.

After listening to Boss Feng’s explanation, Su Lie furrowed his brow, shaking his head, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a while before turning to Boss Feng and saying, “Boss Feng, you might not know this, but Mr. Song isn’t just a friend of mine; he’s my boss!”

Hearing this, Boss Feng knew he was done for.

Sweat began rapidly forming on Boss Feng’s forehead and tip of his nose, the fine drops turning into large beads, his complexion darkened, his limbs weakened, and he seemed about to collapse.

Feeling dizzy and confused, Boss Feng stepped forward, clutching Su Lie’s hands, and said, “Mr. Su, it’s truly our fault. But our waiter was unaware of the lady’s injury—after all, it was an accident. My niece is indeed a fool; I’ve already let her go. Mr. Su, please, you have to help me!” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Su Lie figured it depended on Song Xiaodong’s attitude, so he told Boss Feng, “I can’t decide on this; I need to ask Mr. Song.”

Having said that, Su Lie freed his hands from Boss Feng’s grip, crouched beside Song Xiaodong, and asked him, “Sir, what do you plan to do about this?”

Song Xiaodong looked at Su Lie, then closed his eyes.

Su Lie understood Song Xiaodong’s stance; it seemed the matter was more severe than Boss Feng described. So he stood up and shouted at Boss Feng, “Come upstairs with me!”

Su Lie headed straight to the second floor, and Boss Feng followed with his head down.

Su Lie had no clue what Song Xiaodong wanted, and it wasn’t appropriate to ask directly in front of Boss Feng, so when they got to the second floor, he asked Boss Feng, “Tell me the situation in detail.”
