Xiang Hongsheng grinned, scooped up a spoonful of soup and poured it steadily into a bowl.

After taking it, Mr. Hong gently placed it in front of Zhou Qi.

"I like quietness. If you don't like the atmosphere here, it's okay. Come and try the cooking of our chef."

"Eat more, this may be your last good meal."

Last meal?

When Zhou Qi heard this, his eyes widened involuntarily. Anyone would be shocked to hear this.

Zhou Qi stared at Xiang Hongsheng, then he smiled and waved his hand: "I just arrived in Chun City and I'm unfamiliar with the place. Maybe I didn't do some things thoughtfully and irritated Mr. Xiang. But I guess that with your status, Mr. Xiang, you won't make things difficult for a stupid boy like me, so why bother to scare me here."

Xiang Hongsheng grinned: "Qiao Zhenguo, he saved my life."

Zhou Qi frowned, waiting for the second half of the sentence.

As a result, nothing happened.

After Xiang Hongsheng finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a bite of food, and ate it with relish.

What does this mean?

Are you looking for me to settle accounts with you because of what happened to Qiao Laosan?

If that was the case, why did he wait until I had brought him down before finding fault? The two families had been fighting fiercely before, and the newspapers had made several headlines. I don't believe Xiang Hongsheng didn't know. In the last few days of Qiao Lao San, he was already desperate. If he wanted to make trouble, why did he have to wait until today?

With your strength, if you want to help Qiao Lao San deal with me, you should have taken action a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi was also happy: "Master Xiang, I don't care what your relationship with Qiao Lao San is. I don't think it's necessary to use a person you don't want as an excuse."

"What do you mean?" Xiang Hongsheng asked.

Zhou Qi laid out his thoughts and continued, "Master Xiang, if you just wanted to get rid of me, why did you wait until I was about to set up and hand over the factory before choking me and preventing me from producing? You don't care about Qiao Lao San or me, but about that factory, right?"

Hearing this, Xiang Hongsheng chuckled: "Qiao Zhenguo deserved to lose to you. But then again, Qiao Zhenguo saved my life, and now that you've pushed him to this point, I have to do something."

"I think... Mr. Xiang, you have done everything you can on this matter." Zhou Qi said.

Xiang Hongsheng perked up when he heard this, and raised his hand towards Zhou Qi: "Tell me about it."

"The amount of money that Qiao Laosan has invested is at least two million. With his background, where did he get so much money? I think that Master Xiang must have helped him at the critical moment. With your strength, if you had always supported him, he would not have ended up like this today."

Zhou Qi paused for a moment, "So, no matter what favors Qiao Lao San had done to you, your two should have been even. In other words, if Mr. Xiang still remembered that favor, you wouldn't have left his family homeless and without a place to stay in Chun City."

"Moreover, I think a big part of the reason why he ran away was because of you. The money he got from you was probably not given by you, but owed by him. He was afraid that you would settle the account with him."

The smile on Xiang Hongsheng's lips deepened.

He nodded and said, "You guessed it right. So guess what I wanted you to do today?"

Zhou Qi smiled but said nothing, shaking his head: "Master Xiang, it's useless to guess. Aren't you planning to ask for a high price?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Xiang Hongsheng smiled happily, pointed at Zhou Qi and said, "Young man, you are really interesting. It's so nice to chat with you. I like you very much."

He waved slightly at Mr. Hong.

Old Hong glanced at Zhou Qi, walked to the table next to him, picked up an agreement and placed it in front of Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi first looked at Xiang Hongsheng, then his eyes fell on the agreement.

I picked it up and took a look. Although I was prepared, I was still surprised when I saw the contents.

The agreement is so crude and crude that calling it a legal agreement is an insult to the law. It is simply blatant extortion.

Xiang Hongsheng actually wanted 30% of his net profit.

Not the profits from the cannery, but thirty percent of all his business.

Zhou Qi threw the agreement on the table, stared at Xiang Hongsheng and said, "What do you mean? Blackmail? Extortion? Or threats?"

"Kid, be careful with your words." Old Hong warned with a serious face.

Xiang Hongsheng raised his hand to stop him, looked at Zhou Qi, smiled and said: "In fact, we are the same kind, we both like to manipulate behind the scenes and make a fortune in silence."

"It's just that you invest in industry, and I invest in people."

"You have a unique vision and great skills. In just three months, you have gone from being a poor boy with nothing to owning four factories, agents in three provinces, and the boss of an entertainment company. You have fooled all your connections, but they all have to listen to your orders."

“You are to me what you are to the canning industry.”

“If I see a good project, I naturally want to invest.”

project?

Zhou Qi almost laughed to death.

You treat yourself as a project and talk about it in such a high-sounding way.

He thought he was ruthless enough, but this old man was even more ruthless. With just a piece of paper, he wanted to take away one-third of his profits. This meant he was working for nothing.

Zhou Qi leaned forward, stared at Xiang Hongsheng and said, "What if I don't agree? What are you going to do?"

"You won't refuse." Xiang Hongsheng said confidently.

"Then you have made a wrong calculation." Zhou Qi said as he stood up.

As soon as he stood up, the two men in black at the door immediately took action, stepped forward and unbuttoned their suits.

Zhou Qi's expression suddenly changed.

He was not frightened by the actions of the men in black, but by the things around their waists. He did not think that black thing was a toy.

The look he gave Xiang Hongsheng suddenly changed.

In his two lifetimes combined, this was the first time he had seen the real thing in real life.

It would be strange if I wasn't shocked.

Xiang Hongsheng smiled and pressed his hand to Zhou Qi, saying, "I just said that this might be your last meal."

Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes, stared at Xiang Hongsheng and said, "Master Xiang, is this how you scare people?"

"You think it's a scare?"

Xiang Hongsheng shook his head gently and said, "You are too young and think the world is too beautiful. You are smart, but for some things, using your brain is not enough. There are more direct methods."

As he spoke, Xiang Hongsheng pressed his hand again.

Zhou Qi hesitated, but still sat back down, glanced at the agreement, and looked at Xiang Hongsheng again and asked, "How much did Qiao Lao San give you?"

"Five hundred thousand a year."

Xiang Hongsheng said bluntly: "But you are different. You have more investment potential. Of course, I am not taking it for nothing."

"I give you much more than you can imagine."

After hearing this, Zhou Qi smiled, picked up the agreement on the table and said, "There's not a single sign of investment here. You don't pay a cent, but you want 30% of my profit. Mr. Xiang, you call this investing more than I give you?"

“That’s not what I voted for.”

Xiang Hongsheng took a sip of soup and said, "I invested your life. Without me, it is unknown whether you can sit safely now."
