Niu Fengfeng was still unwilling, saying, "You are the village chief and also the leader of the Niu Family. If you shout loudly, our Niu Family wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money from Zhang Dadan!"
Niu Fusheng, seeing him hopeless, shook his head helplessly and sighed before giving an order.
Kicked out of the door, Niu Fengfeng was angry and hateful, but couldn’t vent his frustration, so he had to go ho in sha.
However, what he didn’t realize was that when he got ho, his parents, too, were on his case like Tang Seng, nagging him nonstop and demanding that he apologize to Dadan like Liu Hong did.
"Little Feng, look at Liu Hong apologizing, their whole family started a soy sauce business, we can’t close our eyes and watch money fly away!" his mother suggested cautiously.
His father was even harsher, scolding, "Niu Fengfeng! Your precious mother can’t compete with others, but can’t she at least soften up?"
Niu Fengfeng had just wanted to argue when his mother directly threatened, "Son, if you don’t go apologize to Dadan tomorrow, your old lady will personally escort you there!"
For such a small amount of money, should parents humble themselves to apologize to Zhang Xiao? Am I really their son?
Because of the Lingzhi incident, he had already made a fool of himself in front of the villagers. Was it necessary to humiliate himself again, begging for perfection, apologizing to Zhang Dadan?
But Niu Fengfeng, no matter how unwilling he was, no matter how hard he resisted, couldn’t withstand the pressure from his parents, so he had to go and apologize to Dadan.
The villagers were even more shocked. Niu Fengfeng was the village chief’s nephew and had a close relationship with him.
In a way, his apology reflected the village chief’s attitude. Had the village chief always submitted to Zhang Ruan? No wonder he had been shut up these days.
However, to the villagers’ greater surprise, Zhang Dadan accepted Niu Fengfeng’s apology but didn’t let them go ho, instead having them make soy sauce with the villagers.
Zhang Dadan’s reason was firm, not to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys but because Niu Fengfeng’s reluctant and hateful expression was an extrely dangerous signal.
Zhang Dadan accepted Niu Fengfeng’s apology out of necessity, not truly forgiving him. Naturally, he wouldn’t let his own family join the villagers in making soy sauce.
This confird Zhang Dadan’s vengeful nature, making the villagers respect and even admire him more.
After the lessons of Liu Hong and Niu Fengfeng, it seed that no one in Da’anping Village dared to challenge Zhang Dadan anymore.
Zhang Dadan was pleased with the harmonious situation, relieved from much worry, and started practicing diligently.
anwhile, he didn’t forget the dicinal diet and frequently contacted Hu Linsheng via WeChat for insights.
But although this young man seed straightforward, he was also the owner of a bold restaurant, and wouldn’t agree to join until Dadan’s hotel was on track.
Helplessly, Zhang Dadan had to set this matter aside temporarily. Anyway, Jiji’s popularity was growing.
It was only a matter of ti before it beca a benchmark in the culinary industry of Qingcheng County, and even the entire province and country.
After staying at ho for a few days, Zhang Dun received a notice from Zhou Yong and went to host the grand opening.
Zhang wasn’t very interested in this kind of publicity, but as a major shareholder of Jiji, his chef and waiters should know about this event.
The day before the opening, Zhang Dadan found an opening, successfully slipped away from the Qiao Family, and rushed to the county.
Although Zhang Dadan had been here before, he was still a bit surprised by the newly renovated shop; was it too luxurious?
"Zhou Yong... Zhou Yong... Your precious mother’s gone too far. Zhang Dadan barged into Jiji, cheering happily.
His loudness scared a few female waiters in the shop; they mistook him for a troublemaker.
A strong man with a tiger’s back and bear’s waist, trying to play the hero in front of the girls, picked up a kitchen knife and guardedly said, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Zhang Dadan, seeing his aggressive stance, was a bit puzzled. Why was this strong man pointing a kitchen knife at ?
"What are you doing? Can you bring kitchen knives in the hall casually?" Zhang Dadan asked.
The strong man instinctively swallowed saliva, blocked the two girls in front of him, and said calmly, "Don’t be afraid, big brother is here!"
His exaggerated appearance made Zhang Dadan more confused. Despite being strong, could I be considered a bad guy so easily?
As Zhang Dadan was puzzled, he noticed another odd thing. How could there only be three people in the great Jiji?
Even if chefs were busy in the kitchen, there shouldn’t be only three people in the store.
"I am one of the owners of this shop. Is this what happens in my shop?" Zhang Dadan raised his eyebrows and asked solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the three reevaluated Zhang Dadan, looked at each other hesitantly, as if they wanted to speak but held back.
Finally, one girl chose to believe Zhang Dadan and timidly responded, "We... in our shop..."
But before she could finish, the strong man interrupted her. Instead, he said, "Think before you speak. Don’t listen to him!"
Then he boldly threatened Zhang Dadan, "If you quickly recognize the situation, or I’ll be impolite to you!"
In his speech, he pretended to be vicious, waving his kitchen knife, trying to scare Zhang away.
Curious, Zhang Dadan beca even more intrigued. What on earth happened in the shop? Why were they so nervous?
"My na is Zhang Dadan. I’m one of the owners of this shop." Zhang Dadan introduced himself to the three in a very earnest tone.
The girl nad Sisi, though timid and panicked, rembered that Boss Zhou once ntioned a boss nad Zhang Bodao, saying he was the true owner of Jiji.
"Big brother, he seems to be the true owner of our shop. I rember Boss Zhou saying...
"Don’t believe him, think back. Where did he hear about it? Did you forget what just happened?" Da Zhuang cautioned.
What just happened? What on earth had taken place in the shop? Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel shocked, quickly taking out his phone and dialing Zhou Yong.
Hearing Zhou Yong’s voice, he almost pressed the call button impulsively, then hung up, hurriedly walking to the doorway.
Zhou Yong saw Zhang rushing out of the store, and as he walked towards him, asked, "Dadan? Did you co over so quickly!"
The people behind him looked at each other in surprise, then greeted him, "Hello, Boss Zhang!"
Looking at their excited faces, Zhang Dadan beca more puzzled. Did you go out for so exciting team-building activity? When they all entered Jiji, Zhang Dadan asked, "Zhou Yong, what are you doing? How could there only be three people in the shop?"
Zhou Yong waved to tell the others to get to work, then explained to Zhang, "Soone had just co to the shop to make trouble, and took them away with them!"
Soone ca to make trouble? In the county, Zhou Yong was well-connected with Ma Youliang. How could soone be so bold?
"Why didn’t you tell who caused the trouble? Who led it?" Zhang Dadan asked.
Zhou Yong smiled bitterly, pointing to the shop opposite Jiji, a store hanging a signboard of Dragon Phoenix Building.
"It’s them! This Dragon Phoenix Building is also a restaurant, deriving its origin from us."
