Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Clumsy Bumpkin

The next morning, Dong Zhiping and Liu Zhanyuan called separately, telling Qin Yi they planned to join forces to take over the Han Family.

Qin Yi naturally had no objections.

Qin Yi scolded Dong Zhiping a bit, saying that this guy just came to his house and caused a scene quietly, his courage was really too great.

"This won’t happen again, I guarantee it." Dong Zhiping kept apologizing over the phone.

"Can’t you think of a different reason to get close to Wan’er? Coming directly to the house, are you a pig? Suddenly acknowledging Wan’er as a sister, who wouldn’t find that strange?"

Dong Zhiping chuckled dryly, "I went to get clothes, that reason is good enough, yeah."

"Good my ass, you didn’t mention clothes from start to finish, and called them ragged clothes, who are you trying to fool?" Qin Yi laughed and scolded.

"I was wrong, it won’t happen again, I’ll send you a big gift in a couple of days, you’ll definitely be happy with it."

"What big gift?" Qin Yi was curious.

"I can’t say now, it wouldn’t be mysterious anymore if I told you."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, this guy was so mysterious, "By the way, if Wan’er goes to your house, make sure Xiao Rui doesn’t spill the beans."

"Understood, Yutong already taught Xiao Rui. By the way, Zhang Wenhao arranged to meet me at noon."

"Hmm, got it!" Qin Yi hung up the phone, a slight smile on his lips, he was going too.

Today was Saturday, Wan’er was taken away early by Yan Yutong. Xia Yanbing also went somewhere unknown. Qin Yi left home, and Liu Zhanyuan was already waiting for him at the best place.

At the Wutong Tree Grand Hotel, one of the best five-star hotels in Yinfeng City, also owned by the Dong Family.

Nearly all the five-star hotels in Yinfeng City are owned by the Dong Family.

This Wutong Tree Grand Hotel was named by Dong Zhiping using the last character of Yan Yutong’s name.

"Mr. Qin, we’ve arrived!" Liu Zhanyuan said respectfully.

Qin Yi nodded, "Let’s go up."

Liu Zhanyuan pushed Qin Yi straight to the top floor of the hotel, to the largest private room.

In the top-floor corridor, there were actually more than twenty black-suited strongmen standing.

"Mr. Qin, it looks like Zhang Wenhao has already arrived, indeed a nouveau riche, what a big show." Liu Zhanyuan sneered.

Qin Yi smiled, this was indeed a bit exaggerated. More than twenty menacing strongmen in black lined the corridor, scaring the waiters who avoided them.

At the entrance of the private room, a man in black opened the door.

Liu Zhanyuan pushed Qin Yi inside.

"It’s really big." Qin Yi glanced around, smiling as he spoke.

This private room was at least three hundred square meters, elegantly decorated, extremely luxurious, with a thick carpet on the floor that made no sound at all when you walked on it. Besides the dining area, there were sections for resting and entertainment.

"This is one of the largest private rooms in this hotel." Liu Zhanyuan explained respectfully.

"Mr. Liu."

Qin Yi looked up to see a burly middle-aged man approaching with a young man by his side.

"Mr. Qin, this is Zhang Wenhao, and the other is his eldest son, Zhang Hao." Liu Zhanyuan leaned down to explain to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"Mr. Zhang." Liu Zhanyuan responded with a smile.

Zhang Wenhao used to be involved in the underworld, but now that he’s gone legitimate, he likes people to call him Mr. Zhang. Before, people used to call him Big Brother Zhang directly.

"Mr. Liu, your presence brings light to our humble place. Let me introduce, this is my eldest son, Zhang Hao. In the future, I’ll need Mr. Liu’s guidance for him." Zhang Wenhao said with a loud voice, smiling.

Liu Zhanyuan looked at Zhang Hao, "Indeed a handsome and talented young man."

"Uncle Liu, you’re too kind." Zhang Hao, being the junior, naturally called Liu Zhanyuan uncle, showing that he understood the rules.

"And who is this?" Zhang Wenhao looked at Qin Yi, puzzled, why did Liu Zhanyuan bring a cripple along?

However, Zhang Hao’s eyes narrowed. Anyone who could have Liu Zhanyuan personally pushing a wheelchair must not be an ordinary person.

"This is Qin Yi, husband of General Manager Xia. Since General Manager Xia couldn’t come, Mr. Qin is here on her behalf, as this matter is closely related to her." Liu Zhanyuan said with a smile.

Zhang Wenhao was slightly startled, then a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. He was wary of Liu Zhanyuan and Dong Zhiping, but he didn’t put Xia Yanbing himself in his eyes, let alone a cripple.

Zhang Hao’s eyes were filled with contempt; he’d heard rumor of Xia Yanbing marrying a crippled husband. So it was this guy, a waste, not worth minding.

"You guys don’t mind me, I’m just here with Mr. Liu to understand the situation." Qin Yi naturally could see the contempt in the eyes of Zhang Wenhao and his son, and said with a light smile.

Zhang Wenhao sneered inside, as if anyone would really care about a cripple like you?

"Mr. Liu, are you here?" a tall figure walked out from inside, it was Dong Zhiping.

Dong Zhiping saw Qin Yi and was momentarily stunned, not expecting Qin Yi to be here as well, but he quickly acted casual and greeted, "Qin Yi, you’re here too?"

"Brother Dong, I came to learn about the situation." Qin Yi said.

Zhang Wenhao and Zhang Hao’s eyes flickered slightly, not expecting Dong Zhiping to know this Qin Yi as well.

"Mr. Dong, do you also know Mr. Qin?" Zhang Wenhao asked tentatively.

Qin Yi stepped in first, "I’ve met Brother Dong once."

Zhang Wenhao relaxed, inside he was dismissive, he had been too cautious, turns out they’ve just met once. Right, a waste like him knowing two big shots couldn’t be possible, right?

"Mr. Dong, you arrived really early." Liu Zhanyuan smiled.

Dong Zhiping also smiled and said, "This is my territory, okay? How could I be late?"

Zhang Wenhao said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside, let’s chat while we eat."

Everyone followed Zhang Wenhao inside and sat down.

Qin Yi looked at the large round table that could seat over thirty, with only five people sitting at it, and found it amusing, all about face, was such a large table necessary? Conversations would require shouting, being a bit distant.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Dong, do you think we can start serving the dishes?" Zhang Wenhao asked.

Liu Zhanyuan subtly glanced at Qin Yi, and almost laughed, Qin Yi was examining the silver chopsticks on the table, even biting them, seeming to inspect whether they were real silver.

Dong Zhiping was dumbstruck, covering his face, feeling embarrassed. Brother, you’re like an Immortal-like figure, is this appropriate?

Zhang Wenhao and his son were full of contempt, it was clear Qin Yi was a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen the world. It’s said that Xia Yanbing’s parents don’t approve of Qin Yi at all, probably this cripple had never been to such a high-end place before?

Qin Yi looked up, finding everyone staring at him, shyly chuckled, and said, "Sorry, it’s the first time I’ve seen silver chopsticks."

Zhang Wenhao and his son’s disdain grew even more.

"Serve the dishes!" Liu Zhanyuan said with a smile.

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, instructing the waiters to serve the dishes.

Not just one waiter, but more than ten started serving dishes together, filing in, and soon the table was filled with delicacies, offering game from the mountains, swallows from the clouds, cattle and sheep from the land, seafood from the seabed, everything imaginable.

"Mr. Dong, Mr. Liu, I propose a toast to the two of you first." Zhang Wenhao and his son raised their glasses and stood up.

However, Qin Yi said casually, "Drinking without eating is easy to get drunk on an empty stomach, and it hurts the stomach."
