Bang! The restaurant door was suddenly pushed open, and the furious Mr. Zhang, along with his associates, barged in.

"This Truffle Steak is personally crafted by our chef from France, Adrian..." Bianyi, who was standing next to the table describing the dish, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes. He stepped forward to meet Mr. Zhang and said coldly, "Mr. Zhang, you are out of line. This is not the place for you."

Glaring angrily at Shen Qiang, who was tasting the food, Mr. Zhang turned his gaze back to Bianyi and said furiously, "I am out of line? I have been extremely patient with you, yet you take my words for granted?"

Bianyi laughed, "The restaurant operates independently, which was agreed upon earlier. Do you want me to show you the contract you signed?"

Mr. Zhang roared, "The restaurant can operate independently, but this is Dinghao. My guest, holding a vip Supreme card— what right do you have to invalidate it?"

Bianyi smiled, "He can use his Supreme card to freely book rooms in your hotel, even if it means sleeping with your wife and your female secretary, I wouldn't care. However, this place is Datong River, my boss is Shen Qiang, my loyalty is to him, not you. Whether your guest is prestigious or not doesn't concern me at all."

Mr. Zhang raged, "You're trying to ruin Dinghao, aren't you? What did you say in the beginning? You said that Datong River was on a rise and that the Datong River restaurant could elevate the hotel's prestige, ensuring that all guests here receive an Emperor-like treatment, which could certainly take Dinghao to the next level, making it a five-star hotel."

Bianyi smirked slightly and said, "But actually, you didn't agree to convert the restaurant into a Datong River branch for that reason. You believed that by opening a branch here, Datong River was yielding to you. You agreed to sign because many big shots were present, and they all praised your capabilities. After previously targeting Datong River, it truly became yours."

Mr. Zhang roared in fury: "But you bastard tampered with the contract to trap me!"

Bianyi smiled slightly, "To trap a guy like you with a million-hired lawyer is really simple. According to the terms of the contract, Datong River Dinghao store operates autonomously, financials are independent, no need to pay rent or utilities until the end of the property rights protection period. This means, I can do whatever I want without overstepping."

"Bastard!" Mr. Zhang roared. "I don't care what the contract says; my Dinghao's VIP, at the Datong River Dinghao store, is still a VIP."

"Impossible." Bianyi's gaze was cold. "My boss will definitely not allow your issued card to show off in our Datong River."

"What about him then?" Mr. Zhang poked Bianyi's chest with his finger and shouted, "You promised me in person that the restaurant manager would be appointed by me. Without a valid reason, do you have the right to fire him?"

Bianyi laughed, "I also promised to bring over all the main chefs from Datong River for you to reprimand at will. I promised to sideline Shen Qiang, making him lose everything. But all that was just to make you sign the contract. After you signed, the restaurant and the entire floor's usage rights would belong to Shen. While it makes money for Shen Qiang, you need to bear the utilities and employees' social security expenses."

"As for why firing this guy, that's simple." Bianyi glanced at him, "He doesn't even know who his own restaurant's boss is—I don't think he's capable of his job since he couldn't recognize Shen Qiang."

"Of course, the real reason is that he is your trusted aide planted here, and he must be fired."

Mr. Zhang raged: "You played me!"

Bianyi smiled, "Yes, if you're not satisfied, you can go to court, sue, but I can tell you in advance, you will lose this lawsuit because the contract clearly stipulates these, the Datong River Dinghao branch does not belong to you."

"And my boss, Mr. Shen, is one of the major shareholders of Dinghao Hotel, which means, as long as he pleases, he can go to Dinghao and give orders anytime, but you have no right to come here and make irresponsible remarks."

"Bastard!" The furious Mr. Zhang roared, his face flushed with anger, "Don't force me to close the staircase!"

Bianyi laughed, "In fact, in the contract we signed, it has been clearly stipulated that the hotel will fund the construction of two observation elevators for the restaurant, and just yesterday, the manager of the corresponding management department who is on good terms with you has already approved the procedures."

"This means that if you choose to close the staircase, we will need a few days to get two elevators up and running, all expenses paid by the hotel, including electricity and the maintenance costs of the elevators. Should any accidents occur, Dinghao Hotel will bear all related responsibilities."

Looking at the furious Mr. Zhang, Bianyi smiled and said, "Moreover, from the moment you entered the room, I began recording. If you threaten me, I will call the police since I explicitly told you I was recording. That way, your words will become valid evidence recognized by the court."

Mr. Zhang trembled with anger, unable to utter a word. After gritting his teeth in silence for a moment, he pushed Bianyi aside and walked towards Shen Qiang, roaring, "Shen Qiang, don't push your luck!"

Setting down his utensils and elegantly wiping his mouth with a napkin, Shen Qiang, leaning back in his chair, laughed, "I remember telling you, if you smashed Datong River, you'd have to compensate with Dinghao. I take things very seriously, so you might want to consider giving up Dinghao now, or you might lose even more."

"Are you threatening me?" Mr. Zhang challenged.

Shen Qiang smiled, "A threat? You think too highly of yourself. This is just a warning. Moreover, since you clearly know you have no right to give orders here, why not leave? If you want to cause trouble, you can call a shareholders' meeting; that way, Shen Bian can play with you."

Trembling all over in anger, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth, "I'll pay you, name your price, I want you to take your people and get out now."

Shen Qiang calmly told him, "Don't dream. I don't lack money. I want Dinghao, and Dinghao must bear the name Shen. Now, you can get lost. Don't disturb my meal, or else I might whimsically visit your office tomorrow, tell your pretty secretary she's fired, and inform your accountant he's been reported by me for cooking the books."

"Bastard!" Mr. Zhang screamed hysterically.

Shen Qiang calmly said, "Also, tomorrow I will have Shen Bian set up a billboard in front of the restaurant stating, 'Dinghao Hotel VIPs dining at this restaurant receive no discounts or privileges.'"

"You're ruthless! We'll see about that!" Mr. Zhang turned and stormed off in a rage.

Watching Shen Qiang not only withstand the humiliation but also gain the upper hand, Pei Zhengyi, unable to accept this outcome, became frantic. He bellowed, "Shen Qiang, don't be arrogant. I've already taken the hard drive from the surveillance room. You think you're smart? Watch how I'm going to destroy you!"
