Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 214 Trouble

In an instant, the table was laden with delicacies, making everyone's mouths water. In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, everyone chatted happily, and laughter filled the air.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan cleared his throat and began to introduce Zhou Jiefang's family background, his profession, and his excellent personal character to everyone present in a serious and detailed manner.

After the introduction was finished, Zhao Yuan briefly recounted some information about Wen Yunfang.

He then smiled and asked both sides for their thoughts and opinions on each other.

Of course, this was merely a formality, as everyone already knew the details beforehand.

As expected, both sides expressed great satisfaction with each other.

After a brief discussion, they finally settled on the date for their formal engagement and the auspicious day for their wedding.

Considering that everyone is extremely busy with work and it is difficult to find enough time to prepare a grand engagement banquet, everyone unanimously decided to skip the engagement ceremony and directly choose a date to hold a grand wedding ceremony. They also discussed and finalized many specific details about the wedding.

After finishing Zhou Jiefang's marriage proposal, life went on as usual, both mundane and busy.

Zhaoyuan has always steadfastly followed its carefully planned blueprint to explore new areas and expand its business scope.

In the sweltering heat of summer, torrential downpours relentlessly washed over the city's ancient streets.

Just then, a group of uninvited guests arrived at "Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai First Branch", located on a bustling street.

This group of men all looked like thugs, and as soon as they stepped into the store, they started shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Hurry up! We want to eat!"

Upon seeing this situation, the waiters immediately realized that these customers were probably not easy to serve, so they quickly called the store manager, Shang Kun, to report the situation.

Upon receiving the news, Shang Kun didn't dare to delay and immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the front hall.

With a broad, enthusiastic smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward to greet them and carefully guided the group of menacing men into a private room to prevent them from making noise in the lobby and disturbing other diners.

After everyone entered the private room and settled down, they couldn't wait to order food.

Moreover, everything they ordered was one of the restaurant's signature dishes, and they even specifically requested several bottles of expensive Moutai liquor.

Immediately afterwards, the group began to eat and drink heartily in the private room without any restraint, and the scene was quite unrestrained.

Shang Kun stood aside, observing coldly, secretly pondering to himself:

Judging from this situation, things might not be so simple today.

However, the most urgent task at hand was to stabilize the situation first. After settling the group into a private room for a meal, Shang Kun seized the opportunity to quietly slip out of the room and then immediately reported the details of what had happened to the boss, Zhou Jiefang.

At this moment, Zhou Jiefang was having a heated discussion with his partner Wen Haifeng about the redevelopment of a piece of land in Dongcheng District.

Upon hearing the news from Shang Kun, Zhou Jiefang frowned slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to focus on the important matter at hand…

Upon receiving the message from Shang Kun, Zhou Jiefang and Wen Haifeng immediately stopped their busy work and rushed together toward "Zhao's Kitchen's First Branch in Shanghai".

Along the way, they were extremely anxious, wishing they could reach their destination instantly.

In recent years, I have occasionally encountered some difficult customers, but they have always been easy to resolve. However, this is the first time that such a large group of people has come at once like today.

I had heard Zhao Yuan say that Shanghai is not like Beijing; there are local bullies here. So every time Mr. Zhao comes to Shanghai, he makes sure to maintain good relations with the local police stations.

When the two arrived at "Zhao's Kitchen Shanghai's First Branch" at breakneck speed, the atmosphere inside the store was somewhat tense.

Without even taking a breath, Zhou Jiefang hurriedly inquired about the whole story from the relevant personnel.

The shop assistant and Shang Kun did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and told Zhou Jiefang the whole story in detail.

Just as everyone was talking, a commotion suddenly broke out from room number 3:

"Quick! Bring us more wine!"

It turned out that the eight guests in the private room had already drunk a full eight bottles of Moutai, but they were still not satisfied and continued to clamor for more wine.

Seeing this, a waiter rushed over to ask his supervisor how to handle the situation.

"I'll deliver the bar."

Wen Haifeng said without hesitation.

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Jiefang quickly interrupted him:

"Brother, wait a minute."

Zhou Jiefang knew very well that this was originally a matter for "Zhao's Kitchen" and had little to do with Wen Haifeng.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this group of people are mostly deliberately trying to cause trouble, and it is by no means as simple as just drinking and having fun.

Wen Haifeng smiled and waved his hand, saying firmly:

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'm just going over to take a look and see if it's someone I know. Nothing will happen."

Seeing his insistence, Zhou Jiefang could not stop him any further, so he nodded in agreement and watched as Wen Haifeng carried two bottles of expensive Moutai liquor into private room number 3.

Then, Zhou Jiefang stood outside the private room, anxiously waiting with a nervous heart.

As soon as Wen Haifeng entered the private room, a burst of noisy laughter could be faintly heard inside, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere and making the whole room seem to have changed its style.

Immediately afterwards, a chorus of toasts rang out, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, the door to room number 3 finally opened slowly.

Wen Haifeng emerged with a smile and a group of people.

The man at the front looked a bit older; he staggered and, with bleary, drunken eyes, called out to a young man following behind:

"Xiao Liu, go settle... settle... settle the bill!"

At this moment, Wen Haifeng quickly stepped forward and said warmly:

"Brother Wang, you're too kind! This meal is on me. It's just a simple treat to thank you all for taking care of me. Besides, if my brother-in-law encounters any trouble in Shanghai in the future, I'll have to rely on you for help!"

However, the man called Brother Wang shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand, saying:

"That...that...that won't do! Xiao Liu, go settle the bill. Brother Wen's business is my business, Wang Mazi's business. Leave this little thing to me, no problem, no problem!"
