It was five in the afternoon.

Shen Qiang, along with Wu Zhaoyang, Lan Yong, and their girlfriends, hailed two taxis and headed straight for the Dinghao Hotel.

Before they even reached the hotel entrance, from a distance, they could see a brand-new sign hanging at the waist of the Dinghao Hotel.

Datong River Restaurant, Dinghao Branch.

Not only that, but there was also a red banner hanging across, reading, "Last day of trial operations, all dishes 10% off."

Seeing all this, Shen Qiang smiled.

Because it meant that Bianyi had not let Shen Qiang down. After all, Shen Qiang, so far, had only acquired thirty-five percent of the shares in Dinghao, and changing the hotel's restaurant to a Datong River branch was no small feat.

But now, it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

The two taxis stopped in front of the Dinghao Hotel.

The group got out of the cars.

But before they could walk towards the hotel, a few slick-looking, wealthy-looking young men approached with several fairly attractive women.

"Yo, aren't those our big monster Wu Zhaoyang and little wild dog Lan Yong? Tsk tsk, still not at the night market selling oden at this time? You guys really aren't dedicated," one of the youth, who seemed to be the leader, mockingly said to Wu Zhaoyang.

Lan Yong was immediately infuriated, "Pei Zhiyi, you want to fight? Whether we set up our stall is none of your damn business."

The youths all laughed.

The apparent leader glanced admiringly at Xiu Ju, then disdainfully swept his gaze over Shen Qiang standing next to Xiu Ju, and said to Lan Yong, "Lan Yong, besides shouting and fighting, you trash can do nothing else. Tsk, tsk, so many people come to Dinghao Hotel, and ended up getting here by taxis, haha, it's hilarious. So miserly yet you come here, I don't know who gave you the courage."

On hearing this, Lan Yong became furious, "Do I owe you money? Have I borrowed money from you? If not, then shut your mouth. It's not your place to comment on whether we are poor or not!"

The leader youth laughed, then stole a glance at Xiu Ju and turned his gaze to the girl holding Lan Yong, saying, "Liu Chang, I've told you before, you have no future with Lan Yong." With an insinuating look at Xiu Ju, the leading youth said, "Think about it, you're young and pretty, you rightly deserve more."

"Is it embarrassing to come to a four-star hotel in a taxi? He brought you here to eat because it's the last day of the discount at the Datong River Dinghao branch." The youth mockingly glanced at Xiu Ju and said, "Think about it, how embarrassing this is. If you were with me, you could come whenever you want."

"I would personally watch as my sports car picks you up." His gaze flitting over to Xiu Ju, the leading youth smirked, saying, "I, Pei Zhiyi, would take you out shopping with my card, but some people, can probably only tighten their belts and invite you to a discounted meal."

On hearing this, Lan Yong became furious, "Pei Zhiyi, fuck. Your mom! You believe I won't beat you to death!"

The girl next to Lan Yong became anxious, holding him back tightly, saying, "Lan Yong, don't bother with him."

Just then, the leader of the group laughed, "Lan Yong, that's all the ability you've got, right? Doesn't your family own a 4S shop in a fifth-tier city? With that kind of money, why not buy a luxury car like mine? One, two, three, four, five, six... Six people dining at Datong River's Dinghao Restaurant, even with a discount, must not be cheap, right?"

A young man behind Pei Zhiyi burst into laughter and said, "Pei, you're overthinking it. They probably just had a bowl of 38-yuan cold noodles each. Maybe they even took a photo to post on their social circle, captioned 'The flavor of Datong River is really good'."

Hearing this, the young men and women behind Pei Zhiyi all erupted in laughter.

"Right, coming to Datong River for a bowl of cold noodles, surely that's enough for them to boast about."

"Hahaha, maybe they think that's already very upscale."

"Exactly, a four-star hotel plus the best restaurant, they must already think it's incredible that they can dine here, not knowing that for us, it's just everyday food."

"You have to understand, after all, he's just a seller of Guandong stew, coming here to eat is quite a step up for him."

Lan Yong was furious, he angrily shrugged off the girl holding onto him. Shen Qiang could feel that the True Yuan in Lan Yong's body was burning like fire.

At that moment, the silent Wu Zhaoyang grabbed Lan Yong by the back of his neck, and said coldly, "Pei Zhiyi, cut that disgusting act, I warn you, you can strut around at the Polytechnic as much as you like, but if you keep provoking, I guarantee you will pay a price."

Pei Zhiyi laughed, "Are you planning to use your Guandong stew to prove you're better than me? Hahaha, maybe sell it for another thirty or fifty years, then you might be qualified to talk to me like that."

Wu Zhaoyang glared in anger, but couldn't utter a word; after all, that was his reality.

But just then.

Shen Qiang, who had been observing from the side, stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Lan Yong and Wu Zhaoyang, and calmly looked at Pei Zhiyi, "You are very arrogant and your words are venomous, but I advise you to stay low-key. My name is Shen Qiang, I'm a graduate at Medical University. Now I stand as elder brother to Lan Yong and Wu Zhaoyang. If you don't back off, thinking they are easy to bully, then I will make sure you plummet into hell."

Pei Zhiyi was taken aback, frowning slightly, "Shen Qiang? Sounds somewhat familiar."

At that moment, a young man behind Pei Zhiyi stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Shen Qiang, the one who has been very prominent at Medical University recently." Seeing Pei Zhiyi still seemed puzzled, the man hurriedly added, "The one they call 'Godfather of Medical University.'

Pei Zhiyi uttered an "oh," and then smirked slightly, "Shen Qiang, I know you're big at Medical University, but better not get cocky with me. To me, there are only two people from Medical University, one is Ji Liangchuan, the other is Cheng Hai. As for you, Shen Qiang, you're just a newbie showing off, not yet qualified to warn me."

Shen Qiang calmly arched an eyebrow, "Whether I'm qualified or not is not for you to say. Just remember my words. I don't care what you and Wu Zhaoyang or Lan Yong have been through before. Now that you know how I stand with them, if you keep provoking them, I'll make sure you regret it."

"Are you threatening me?" Pei Zhiyi arched an eyebrow.

Shen Qiang said calmly, "It's a warning."

Pei Zhiyi's expression turned cold, then a flamboyantly dressed woman at his side pulled him, "Young Master Pei, let's go. Why bother with them?"

Hearing this, Pei Zhiyi sneered at Shen Qiang, challenging him with a nonchalant raise of his eyebrow, "Shen Qiang, no need to show off to me, we will have time in the future." Turning around, he stole a glance at Xiu Ju, meaningfully saying, "I will make you realize the gap between us, and I will make those who follow you understand, following you, they have no future."
