Chapter 87

The four of them drove to the Yangjiang Grand Hotel. As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, they saw the young security guard, who also spotted Chu Ying. The security guard's expression immediately turned sour.

The young security guard clearly remembered that this "Brother Ying" had first come in a Wuling car, accompanied by two beautiful women in luxury cars. This time, he arrived directly in a Hummer, a complete upgrade. Considering Chu Ying's relationship with Huang Qiang, the security guard hurriedly ran up, trying to flatter him. After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and even if he had offended him before, the anger should have subsided by now. Besides, he wouldn't take it out on a small fry like him.

Chu Ying had no good feelings towards this snobbish security guard. He just smiled faintly and led the three girls into the hotel.

It was late August, and many students were facing the start of the school year, while graduates were facing employment. There were many issues that needed to be resolved, and the most important was to seek help through connections. Discussing these matters over a meal had a particularly high success rate, which made the hotel's business exceptionally booming.

The four of them headed straight for the dining area of the hotel. Today, the dining area was packed, with people engaged in lively discussions, whispering, and toasting, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Brother, this place is too expensive. Let's go somewhere else?" Chu Xin, who had never been to such a grand place, knew the prices wouldn't be cheap. She clutched Chu Ying's sleeve tightly and said timidly.

Chu Ying rubbed the little girl's head and smiled, "It's just a meal. Big Brother can afford it!"

"May I ask how many guests are there?" At this moment, a pretty waitress approached with a smile.

The noisy atmosphere made Chu Ying frown slightly. He asked, "Do you have any private rooms?"

"Yes, please follow me!" The waitress smiled faintly, gestured for them to follow, and led the four of them down the corridor to a private room. She opened the door and let them in.

The decoration inside the private room was not luxurious, but it was quite nice. After the four of them sat down, the waitress poured tea for them and handed the menu to Chu Ying, smiling, "Please order, sir. We can prepare anything on the menu."

Chu Ying opened the menu and pushed it to Chu Xin, smiling gently, "Order whatever you want. Don't worry about Big Brother not having money to pay!"

Chu Xin glanced at the menu and was immediately frightened by the prices. Even the most ordinary dish of vegetables cost several dozen yuan, equivalent to her living expenses for over half a month. She quickly closed the menu and said uneasily, "Big Brother, let's not eat here, okay?"

"Don't worry, your Big Brother has money. I'll order for you, I know what Xin Xin likes!" Ling Xuan took the menu, flipped through it, and then closed it, handing it to the waitress. "I'll take the first dish on each page. That's all, thank you!"

The waitress was taken aback; she had never seen anyone order like this. However, the menu had about ten pages, each representing a different cuisine, and the first dish on each page was usually the signature dish, which was the most expensive.

Thinking about this, the waitress resumed her professional smile, "Please wait a moment, everyone."

After saying this, the waitress left the private room. As she closed the door, Chu Ying caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes staring at him. He smiled lightly at the owner of those eyes and, once the door was closed, stood up and said, "I'll be right back."

Today, he was here to have a meal with Chu Xin, and he wouldn't let anyone disturb them. The owner of those eyes was none other than Li Meng. Whether he had been following him or just happened to meet him, since he had been seen, he might cause trouble. It was better to deal with him before the meal.

Chu Ying appeared in the hall and walked straight toward Li Meng. The person sitting with Li Meng was not one of his usual friends but a young man in his late twenties. Because he was sitting, his height couldn't be seen, but he looked very muscular, with a cold and stern face and a faint scar between his eyebrows, adding to his intimidating presence.

"Is this him?" The young man asked Li Meng in a deep voice.

Li Meng nodded, his mocking gaze fixed on the approaching Chu Ying. "That's him! Brother Feng, you must help me teach him a lesson and show this punk what happens when he offends me, Li Meng!"

The young man called Brother Feng said coolly, "Don't worry, it's all on me!"

Chu Ying approached Li Meng's table, glanced at Brother Feng, nodded slightly, and sat down opposite Li Meng. He got straight to the point, "I want to have a good meal today. Do you want to settle our business now or after the meal?"

"Big talk!" Before Li Meng could respond, Brother Feng spoke, his tone hard and cold, giving a sense of ruthlessness.

Chu Ying smiled faintly, "You're not bad, but it will only take me a minute to deal with you. If you know what's good for you, take this kid and leave!"

"Who do you think you are? Do you know who this is? I've seen arrogant people, but never anyone as arrogant as you! Let me tell you, this is Brother Feng, the fighting king of Qingyang City!" Li Meng's voice was loud, and his face was filled with admiration when he mentioned Brother Feng.

The guests around them, hearing the shout, all turned their attention to this table. Some of them recognized Li Meng. A middle-aged man with wire-rimmed glasses came to Li Meng and said with a smile, "So, Little Meng, you're eating here too. Who offended you this time?"

At this moment, a few more people came to chat with Li Meng. They were all well-fed and dressed in fine clothes, but their faces were filled with flattery when they faced the young man.

Clearly, these people knew Li Meng's identity. As the son of the mayor, who wouldn't try to curry favor with him?

Li Meng, remembering what Chu Ying had said at school, turned down all the people who wanted to help. "It's nothing, I'm just playing around with a friend. You can all go back."

The crowd seemed to know Li Meng's temper. They had only come to get closer to him and never thought anyone would dare to offend this young master, let alone a teenager.

"This meal won't be easy to eat. If you have the guts, come outside, and we'll find a quiet place for a one-on-one! If you're too scared, that's fine too. Just kneel down and call me 'Big Brother' three times, and follow me from now on, and I'll forgive you!" Li Meng laughed coldly, thinking of recruiting a new follower.

Although Brother Feng was strong, he wasn't very familiar with him. Li Meng had personally experienced Chu Ying's strength. If he could recruit such a follower, it would be a good deal.

Even if Chu Ying couldn't beat Brother Feng, he was still stronger than many others. Recruiting him would be a win.

Chu Ying countered, "If I dare to go out and beat this Brother Feng, what will you say then?"

Li Meng carefully examined Chu Ying from head to toe and finally said, "If you win, I'll be your follower!"
