Er Gou, life in the countryside is so carefree!

After dealing with the security guards, Su Qing looked at Zhao Tai.

"Zhao Tai, although you are a VIP customer of our hotel, Mr. Chen is an even more important guest. I believe the surveillance footage clearly shows what happened just now. You struck first, and you were the one who verbally insulted Mr. Chen. If you don't apologize to Mr. Chen, then I regret to inform you that Yuntian Hotel will no longer welcome you."

"What? You want to kick me out?" Zhao Tai trembled with rage, his face turning green. "Su Qing! You're going to offend me? Offend the Zhao family? Don't you want to live in this world anymore?"

"This is to protect the hotel's reputation and dignity," Su Qing insisted. "Moreover, I believe the value Mr. Chen brings far exceeds your annual spending of several million."

This was a resounding slap, landing hard on Zhao Tai's face.

He'd been a tyrant in the county for years, always the one being fawned over. When had he ever been treated like this? A hotel manager, for the sake of some country bumpkin, publicly told him to get out!

More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, and the whispers and pointing made Zhao Tai feel like he was being pricked by thorns.

He knew that he had completely lost face today.

"Good! Good! Very good!" Zhao Tai clutched his broken wrist, his eyes sweeping over Su Qing, Zhou Caixia, and Chen Ergou with venomous glare as he gritted his teeth and said.

"Su Qing, you just wait! And Zhou Caixia, you bitch! And you, Chen Ergou, right? You just wait! In this little corner of the county, you dare to go against me, Zhao Tai? I'll make sure you die without even knowing how!"

"Let's go!"

Zhao Tai kicked aside the internet celebrity woman who tried to help him, climbed into the Porsche, struggled to start the car with one hand, and roared off, his back view looking as pathetic as a stray dog.

Watching Zhao Tai leave, Zhou Caixia breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling completely refreshed.

"Ergou, you've really got guts! All the humiliation I've suffered these past few years, you've given me all that today!"

Zhou Caixia took Chen Ergou's arm, practically pressed herself against him, and laughed heartily.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put on her professional smile again, and gestured "please" to the side.

"Master Chen, Mr. Zhou, it's hot outside. Let's go upstairs to a private room to chat. I've already had the best banquet prepared to welcome Master Chen back."

Chen Ergou nodded and, without any hesitation, strode into the revolving door.

This time, no one dared to stop him.

The cool air from the lobby hit me, dispelling the heat from my body.

Chen Ergou walked on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor, flanked by bowing hostesses, with the respectful hotel manager in front of him and a charming and beautiful female boss beside him.

This treatment is definitely much better than the cold face from that watchdog just now.

But he knew in his heart that all this respect was not because he was handsome or well-dressed, but because of the "Dragon King Vegetable" he held in his hand and his incredible abilities.

This is a world where strength reigns supreme.

With strength, even in cloth shoes you can walk on clouds; without strength, even driving a sports car you'll get slapped in the face.

The three of them took a private elevator to the top-floor luxury suite.

The private room was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the entire county.

Su Qing personally pulled out the chair for Chen Ergou and poured him tea.

"Master Chen, this is this year's pre-rain Longjing tea, please have a taste." Su Qing's attitude remained respectful.

Chen Ergou picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, and got straight to the point: "President Su, let's skip the formalities. Sister Zhou told me on the phone that you want my dishes and want an exclusive contract?"

"Yes." Su Qing also regained her business elite demeanor.

"The quality of your dishes is the best we've ever seen. We're willing to pay five times the normal market price to buy them all! Moreover, we hope to sign an exclusive supply agreement, meaning that your top-tier 'Dragon King Cuisine' can only be supplied to the Yuntian Hotel, and not to our competitors, such as... the restaurants under the Zhao Tai family."

Chen Ergou smiled and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Five times the price, that certainly shows sincerity. However..."

Chen Ergou paused, his gaze sweeping over Su Qing and Zhou Caixia's faces. "Exclusive supply, well, that's not impossible. But I have a condition."

"You said we would do our best to fulfill your request, as long as it's within our power!" Su Qing quickly replied.

Chen Ergou leaned back in his chair, pointed out the window in the direction Zhao Tai had left, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"That kid Zhao Tai just said he was going to kill me. I'm a coward, I'm afraid of dying. So, I'm hoping that Yuntian Hotel and Sister Zhou's Luyuan Company can do me a small favor."

"What are you busy with?" Zhou Caixia and Su Qing asked in unison.

"It's very simple." Chen Ergou's eyes narrowed, and he said with an air of dominance.

"I want you to completely destroy the Zhao family's businesses in the market! I want that brat Zhao Tai to know that offending me doesn't just mean losing a hand; I want him to... be completely bankrupt!"

Su Qing and Zhou Caixia exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes, and... a flicker of excitement.

An attack on the Zhao family? That's a major operation!

But with "Dragon King Vegetable" as the trump card, coupled with Chen Ergou's unfathomable background and abilities, this matter... might not be impossible!

"Alright!" Zhou Caixia was the first to slam her hand on the table. "Ergou, I'll listen to you! I've disliked the Zhao family for a long time, and this time we'll fight them to the end!"

Su Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Master Chen, Yuntian Hotel is willing to stand with you through thick and thin. As long as your food supply remains stable, we are confident that we can completely crush the Zhao family in the catering industry!"

"make a deal!"

Chen Ergou raised his teacup, offering tea in lieu of wine: "Wishing us... a pleasant cooperation!"

The three teacups clinked together, making a crisp sound.

A commercial siege against the wealthy Zhao family of the county town officially began in this luxurious private room, led by a farmer wearing cloth shoes.

At that moment, Zhao Tai, who was having his bones set at the hospital, suddenly shivered and felt a strange chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Little did he know that he had not offended some country bumpkin at all, but a rising dragon from the south!
