After a heavy downpour, the streets of Lucheng rarely became much cleaner.
However, even if it rains, it does not lower the temperature in Lucheng much. Instead, it feels more hot and dry.
The Audi 100 drove all the way out of Xingyao No. 3 Factory and arrived at Shuijingou Road, the most prosperous section of Lucheng, in less than half an hour.
As a third-tier small city in the southwest, the bustling commercial buildings in front of you are the largest business district in Lucheng.
Passing by the White Tower Square, Chu Tianyao could see the towering White Tower in the distance.
There were many young men and women taking photos under the White Tower in the square.
Chu Tianyao parked the car in a parking space on the roadside and led Lu Qiuyu into a place called Dihao Nightclub.
The most famous nightclub in Lucheng, besides the Emperor Nightclub, is the Dihao Nightclub.
The location is good and the decoration is quite luxurious.
As soon as Chu Tianyao entered the hall, he heard bursts of piercing music.
Lu Qiuyu didn't like this kind of environment, especially when there were dancing girls wearing scantily clad clothes on the stage.
However, what surprised Lu Qiuyu was that even though it was a weekend night, the business at the Dihao Nightclub did not seem to be as lively as she thought.
Chu Tianyao stopped a lobby manager in a suit.
"I am Chu Tianyao from Xingyao Winery. I have made an appointment with Mr. Li."
Upon hearing this, the lobby manager with a beer belly suddenly smiled.
"It turns out to be Boss Chu. We, Mr. Li, have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
The lobby manager said with a smile, glanced at Lu Qiuyu who was following Chu Tianyao a little strangely, and then led Chu Tianyao and the two of them towards the backstage.
Walking behind the lobby manager, Chu Tianyao noticed a scar on the back of his neck.
Before coming to the Dihao Nightclub, Chu Tianyao had already inquired about the background of this nightclub.
The boss Li Ziqiang, like Wang Lei, is also a well-known figure on Lucheng Road. Almost one-third of the nightclubs in Lucheng are under the hands of this person.
Not only that, Li Ziqiang also opened several mahjong parlors, and had a group of subordinates who specialized in the business of selling water in the mahjong parlors.
To put it bluntly, it is private loan sharking.
Usually, few people would dare to provoke such a person.
And the other party suddenly called Chu Tianyao today, hoping to talk about cooperation with Xingyao Winery. Chu Tianyao had already guessed what this guy was thinking without even using his brain.
However, he still decided to come.
The second floor of Dihao Nightclub.
The fat lobby manager led Chu Tianyao and Lu Qiuyu to an office door, opened the door for them, and motioned for them to go in by themselves.
Lu Qiuyu stood behind Chu Tianyao, inexplicably a little scared.
She always felt that the fat lobby manager in front of her didn't look like a good person.
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Chu Tianyao turned his head and glanced at Lu Qiuyu, then strode in.
Although she felt uneasy, Lu Qiuyu glanced at the lobby manager and quickly followed Chu Tianyao in.
This is an office with luxurious decoration. Under the bright lights, a sturdy middle-aged man sits behind the desk.
"Boss Chu really keeps his word, come on, come on, please take a seat."
The middle-aged man was naturally Li Ziqiang. When he saw Chu Tianyao entering the door, he smiled warmly.
Just saying that, he sat on the chair but did not stand up to greet her.
Behind Li Ziqiang, a tall subordinate came out and motioned Chu Tianyao and his two men to sit on the sofa not far away.
It was at this moment that Chu Tianyao took the time to take a look at Li Ziqiang.
He was less than forty years old. He was wearing a floral shirt and had a pair of narrow eyes. There was a slender scar from the corner of his left eye, which gave him a more sinister look.
"I didn't expect that the person who has been making waves in the Lucheng beer market recently is so young."
Li Ziqiang looked at Chu Tianyao and said with some surprise.
Obviously, Chu Tianyao has made the Oktoberfest so popular recently that even he has heard about it.
"You're welcome, but I just came to Lucheng to have a meal."
Chu Tianyao did not take this sentence, he just chuckled and said: "Boss Li, let's talk about cooperation."
Hearing this, Li Ziqiang did not speak in a hurry, but just lit a cigarette for himself.
After blowing out a smoke ring, he said:
"Boss Chu should know what kind of business I do. One-third of the nightclubs in Lucheng are owned by me. Not only that, I also manage more than ten dance halls."
After Li Ziqiang said this with a smile, his eyes fell on Chu Tianyao.
In his opinion, this kid is a little too young.
"In a word, I want Xingyao Winery to supply me with the quantity to your satisfaction, but at this price..."
After flicking the cigarette ashes, Li Ziqiang grinned: "Qi%, give me 70% of the price, and I will take care of your factory from now on. How about my conditions?"
In the office.
Just as Li Ziqiang finished speaking.
Upon hearing this almost impossible condition, Chu Tianyao didn't show any anger on his face.
He naturally knew what Li Ziqiang meant.
If Chu Tianyao does not agree, the other party is likely to cause trouble for Xingyao Winery.
But Lu Qiuyu, who was sitting next to Chu Tianyao, was a little angry and said: "70% price, how is this possible? You might as well go and grab it."
As soon as Lu Qiuyu finished speaking, Li Ziqiang's men standing aside gave her a vicious look, which made her pretty face turn pale in fright.
"She's right, I won't agree to this condition."
Chu Tianyao also glanced at the tall man, then looked at Li Ziqiang and said.
As soon as these words came out, Li Ziqiang frowned.
Not many people dared not agree to the conditions he proposed.
Immediately, standing in front of Chu Tianyao, the man felt the look in his boss's eyes. He immediately pointed at Chu Tianyao and said loudly:
"Boy, I advise you to think clearly, otherwise you won't be able to get out of here tonight."
The tall man made unabashed threats.
Lu Qiuyu still didn't understand at this moment that the group of people in front of him were not serious businessmen, they were clearly a group of ruffians and bullies.
"What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?"
Lu Qiuyu shouted loudly.
However, the man and Li Ziqiang ignored it at all.
"You bitch, you have no place to speak here."
The strong man glared at Lu Qiuyu impatiently, and raised his right hand while speaking.
Seeing this, Lu Qiuyu subconsciously shrank back.
At this moment, a figure suddenly stood up.
"You have no place to speak here!"
boom!
As soon as Chu Tianyao stood up, he kicked the person in front of him violently.
The tall man never expected that Chu Tianyao would take action. A sharp pain hit his lower body, and he was kicked to the side.
It has to be said that Chu Tianyao's kick was so cruel that even Lu Qiuyu, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned.
"You brat, I'm going to kill you."
The man looked ashen and covered his lower abdomen, ready to fight Chu Tianyao.
"stop!"
On the side, Li Ziqiang suddenly shouted and stopped, with a livid expression on his face.
Even if he wanted to take advantage of Chu Tianyao, he would definitely not do it here.
"I hate people threatening me, not to mention this guy is not qualified."
Chu Tianyao ignored the person in front of him and just looked at Li Ziqiang, his eyes looking a little indifferent.
"As expected of someone who can conquer Wang Lei, he really has two skills."
Li Ziqiang threw the cigarette butt in his hand out of the window, and then said: "But this is Lucheng. Even if Wang Lei sees me, he must be respectful. How dare you go against me?"
Chu Tianyao smiled carelessly at Li Ziqiang's words.
"It seems that you have investigated me, but it's a pity that you didn't do it carefully."
Under Li Ziqiang's slightly puzzled gaze, Chu Tianyao continued to smile and said: "I almost forgot to tell you that the last person who investigated me was named Wang Wenbin, and now he has gone in."
As soon as Chu Tianyao said these words, Li Ziqiang's expression suddenly changed.
