The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 75 - 75 71 069 Fist Cutting

75: Chapter 71 Chapter 069: Fist Cutting 75: Chapter 71 Chapter 069: Fist Cutting Li Tieniu hastily gave Ye Chen a thumbs-up, also sending a few looks his way as if to say, “Ye Chen, you sly dog, to think you dare to swindle our American beauty CEO.

You’re really something.” Ye Chen grinned, giving Li Ruo a sidelong glance as her face seemed especially icy.

“Mr.

Li, let me toast to you!” Ye Chen quickly raised his glass and poured Li Ruo a beer.

“Ah?” Li Ruo was taken aback, awkwardly asking, “Is this…

is this glass clean?

Is it hygienic?

And does this barbecue joint have a business license, a hygiene permit?”

“Mr.

Li, you really are an Emperor oblivious to the people’s suffering!” Ye Chen sighed helplessly and said, “We are all just the common folk trying to scratch out a living.

Do you know how much the rent costs for just setting up a shop?

Do you know how long it takes to get a business license, how many ‘grandfathers’ one must beg and how many ‘grandmothers’ one must plead with?

Do you know how much they charge just for a health permit?

These…

you know nothing about!”

“Ah?

But when our company applied for these things, it was done very quickly?” Li Ruo was stunned.

“Hmph, truly an Emperor oblivious to the people’s suffering!” Ye Chen sighed, saying, “Large enterprises, nationally supported businesses, of course, they get the green light, even the fast track.

But do you know about those ordinary citizens without connections, without funds?

For them, to get even the most basic document, they’re met with ‘delaying, dragging, blocking, and demanding.'”

“Is it…

is it really that severe?” Li Ruo was astonished, looking at Ye Chen.

“Of course, you wouldn’t know if it were that severe,” Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, “I can tell you quite clearly, the food at this barbecue joint is definitely much cleaner than that of restaurants with business licenses, those that have secured health permits—by far more hygienic!”

“Alright, I…

I will take your word for it!” Li Ruo had never thought that getting the simplest certificate could cost so much.

Li Ruo swapped for a new glass, wiping it over and over with a wet wipe, wishing she could scald it fiercely with boiling water.

Ye Chen filled her glass with beer, then chuckled, “Brothers, come on, let’s first toast to our adorable, beautiful, stunning American female CEO!”

“Roar roar roar…” The crowd cheerfully hollered, each one buzzing with excitement.

Li Ruo’s face flushed with embarrassment, adding a shy beauty to her loveliness that made her simply irresistible.

Ye Chen stared at Li Ruo’s face, feeling like this woman was defying the heavens with such beautiful cheeks, such a gorgeous visage, guessing probably every man would want to marry a woman like her.

What a pity…

“Dumbass, why are you staring at me!” Li Ruo frowned.

“Hehe, Mr.

Li, haven’t you heard the saying ‘a feast for the eyes’?” Ye Chen grinned.

“Hmph!” Li Ruo snorted lightly, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

She glared at Ye Chen but said nothing; Ye Chen immediately egged on the others, “Tie Niu, come on, let’s drink!”

“Sure!” Li Tieniu, seeing that Li Ruo was easy-going, simply stripped off his clothes, revealing a vest underneath.

The burly guy, with a bearish build and a tuft of chest hair peeking out, stood on one leg on the bench and loudly chanted with a clenched fist, “Unite in respect, brothers in arms, Three Peach Garden, Four Seasons Fortune, Five Leaders, Six-six-smooth, Seven Harmonies, Eight Horses, Nine Linked Rings, full house…”

Competing in a drinking game with Ye Chen, Li Tieniu lost miserably.

After several consecutive drinks, Li Tieniu’s spirits rose again, with the surrounding security guards shouting and cheering.

Li Ruo’s eyes sparkled with delight; she seemed to enjoy this game immensely.

The two threw their fists, played rock-paper-scissors—it really looked fun!

Why hadn’t she ever seen or played this sort of game before?

“No way, no way, let’s switch it up!” Li Tieniu immediately gritted his teeth, saying, “Ye Chen, let’s change the tune.”

“Sure, no problem, you’ll lose no matter how many we change!” Ye Chen burst into laughter.

Liu Momo was in the back helping Mrs.

Liu clean up, leaving her no time to accompany Ye Chen.

Yet, Momo’s gaze lingered on Ye Chen.

Even if she couldn’t join Brother Chen, just silently watching him from behind was satisfying enough.

Seeing Ye Chen so happy, Momo also revealed a joyful smile.

“Dammit, this time I’m bringing out the big guns!” Li Tieniu suddenly shouted.

“Come on, I’ll take whatever big guns you have!” Ye Chen laughed.

“A bed with the two, up through the night, feet in the air, fingers roaming wild, recognizing neither kith nor kin, tossing and turning, in and out!” Li Tieniu bellowed, leaving Ye Chen stunned; shit, that was hardcore.

He quickly glanced at Li Ruo.

The little lady’s eyes gleamed with excitement—it seemed she was quite interested in this trick.

Ye Chen immediately realized the little lady was beginning to transform again, from her daytime frostiness to her night-time playful charm…

This kind of change is really hard to accept.

“Ha, what’s that supposed to be…” Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, “Check this out, a bed, two people sleep, in the dead of night, four legs, five mouths, slipped into the quilt, riding on top, to not do it, how very uncomfortable!”

Haha…

Everyone on site burst into laughter.

If Li Tieniu’s drinking song could still be considered veiled, then Ye Chen’s drinking command was much too blunt.

Even women nearby turned red at Ye Chen’s words.

Liu Momo, standing behind Ye Chen, blushed and thought to herself, this Brother Chen is really bad, doesn’t he know there are ladies present?

Liu Momo looked at Li Ruo, and although she didn’t know her, she could tell from Li Ruo’s noble and indifferent aura that this woman was definitely not ordinary.

Liu Momo admired Li Ruo with envy, thinking to herself, this sister is so beautiful.

Li Ruo quickly pulled on Ye Chen’s arm and said, “Ye Chen, teach me how to play, I want to play too!”

“Can you handle it?” Ye Chen looked at her skeptically and said, “This is the most vulgar drinking and guessing song in the folk culture!”

“No problem!” Li Ruo nodded eagerly.

Then the two of them started playing Fist Cutting, one sentence after another.

In the process, Li Ruo almost laughed herself silly.

Everyone initially thought it was rare to see Li Ruo with such an expression as they had never seen Mr.

Li laugh before, but tonight it seemed she was on the verge of laughing hysterically.

Ye Chen took Li Ruo’s hand and carefully taught her how to play.

Li Ruo was quick to learn and pick it up.

At first, Ye Chen, relying on his experience in worldly society, won several times against Li Ruo, making her drink quite a bit.

But later on, it was clear that Ye Chen got overpowered by Li Ruo, who leveraged her high IQ and her knowledge of psychology to win almost every round, making things difficult for Ye Chen.

That night, everyone ate their fill of meat and drank their fill of wine.

The feeling was truly extraordinary.

The street outside Jianghuai University was bustling with noise as many people were there eating barbecue or setting up street stalls.

There was a constant throng of people coming and going, even though it was already past eight o’clock, the crowd was still weaving through the street.

Beep beep beep…

A sharp whistle sounded.

Suddenly, from both ends of two streets, two medium-sized buses emblazoned with ‘Police’ quickly stopped.

More than a dozen people wearing anti-riot gear and wielding iron batons poured out of each bus.

“Not good, the city management is here!” The first person who spotted the city management screamed in panic.

At this scream, vendors up and down the street were thrown into disarray, some quickly pushing their carts away, others frantically packing their goods.

Stalls like Liu Momo’s barbecue place could only wait for the city management to smash them.

“Momo, quick, pack up the stuff and let’s go!” Mrs.

Liu was almost crying with urgency.

The city management could come at any time but chose this exact moment, just as the fire had become most vigorous and the materials had all been placed on the grill.

Liu Momo also panicked, hastily stuffing big amounts of barbecue ingredients into bags.

The city management charged from both sides of the road.

Their path was marked by ruthless aggression, smashing anything and anyone in sight.

Their rampage was even more thrilling than underworld gang fights.

Some stall owners couldn’t bear to see their belongings destroyed; after all, it represented their savings.

If it weren’t for financial hardships, who would shamelessly set up a street stall?

The city management’s smashing could mean a loss of an entire year’s savings or more for some people.

“Shit, you dare smash my stuff, I’ll fight you to the death!” A burly man immediately charged forward, but how could a single person take on so many fiercely aggressive city managers?

The city managers donned anti-riot helmets and wear, each one prepared for battle.

The team leader of the city managers, with a big belly, laughed coldly and commanded, “Get him, take him down!”

“Yes!” Three city managers immediately surrounded the man and started to brutally beat him with their iron batons.

The man fell to the ground spitting blood.

“Oh my God!

What is this…” Li Ruo was dumbstruck watching these scenes.

Those men in police uniforms, these were state civil servants who were beating taxpayers while being paid by the state.

Li Ruo incredulously turned to look at Ye Chen and asked, “Who are they?”

“City management!” Ye Chen laughed and said, “These guys are worse than dogs!”

“Brother Chen, help me!” Liu Momo stood at the side, holding a big bottle.

Ye Chen, feeling sorry for her, ran over to help carry things onto the tricycle.

He quickly said, “Auntie, Momo, don’t be afraid, I’m here.

They wouldn’t dare do anything to you!”

“Brother Chen, these guys have always been arrogant, and besides, killing someone isn’t a crime for them, so let’s hurry and leave!” Liu Momo hurried to pack her things, but it was too late, two city managers wielding anti-riot shields and batons had already smashed their way to Liu Momo’s stall.

The two city managers, wearing anti-riot helmets, glared menacingly through the clear visors: “You old hag, don’t you know this place is not for setting up a stall?

Truly incorrigible, smash it!”
