"Hahaha, actually I was teasing you just now. This was indeed arranged by me."
Mr. Zhang saw that Li Lisi's manager looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, so he naturally wanted to pretend to be in front of Li Lisi.
So he deliberately regarded the etiquette for welcoming Luo Feng as his own.
Furthermore, after he thought about it, he felt that it was normal for him to be treated like this.
With his status, if this restaurant is sensible, it will serve him well.
In the future, he can really bring more dignitaries to eat here, which will also be helpful to the restaurant.
Anyway, he had already disliked the boss of Shengtian Building. Last time, he gave priority to Luo Feng, but he was worse than a Chinese.
Even though the boss of Shengtian Building appeased him about this matter, he still became more and more angry as he thought about it.
The more you think about it, the angrier it becomes. The more you think about it, the more you lose.
"I knew this was definitely arranged by Mr. Zhang."
Li Lisi pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Master Zhang with eyes full of smiles.
She naturally knows the identity of this young master, otherwise how could she agree to the invitation he invited her to dinner?
The new play she had secretly finalized required her to co-star in it with Mr. Zhang. Between the two of them, it was equivalent to Mr. Zhang joining the cast and bringing her in as well.
As a singer, Li Lisi actually wants to develop in the entertainment industry.
Today's entertainment stars are not just singers or actors, but both, and there are even directors who are all three.
There is a saying that goes well, those who can't write books go to filming, those who can't film go to singing, and those who can't sing, finally return to writing books. The entertainment industry is a circle.
She had no arrangements, and her agent said no.
It's not like the restaurant was busy today and summoned all the reception staff to greet them at the door. This possibility is very low.
So in Li Lisi's view, this was Mr. Zhang's trick. He had seen many tricks like this, but he still had to pretend to admire Mr. Zhang.
In this world now, money may not be able to solve everything, but it cannot be solved without money. As long as you have money, anyone can let the restaurant do this.
She seemed to have forgotten that there was another possibility, that is, the big shot she was going to meet today was not her and Young Master Zhang.
But of course she doesn't think so. After all, Li Lisi is also a popular female singer. In her opinion, it is normal for her to be treated like this.
She had had enough of being surrounded by reporters and fans outside. She thought that these treatments were what she deserved, but she just didn't pursue these things.
If Luo Feng heard this, he would probably be happy.
Luo Feng really wanted to say something, you are still so confident.
Then a group of people swaggered towards the door of the restaurant, and Townsend frowned when he saw this scene.
The doormen next to them were a little ready to make a move.
"This is not Mr. Luo. Don't rush up. Wait a moment."
Thompson came here specifically for Luo Feng.
As for other people, what if they are rich and powerful? It has nothing to do with him and he doesn't care.
If he can win this coral island project, according to the general manager's wishes, his commission can be tripled.
This is why Thompson came here in the first place.
But just from this triple remuneration, it can be seen that the Korn Ferry Investment Group behind him is very confident in this and feels that it will be able to obtain huge profits through the coral island.
Although Luo Feng is well-known on Intercontinental Island, not everyone knows him.
And this time Thompson only came to talk to the manager of the restaurant about the matter, and did not distribute Luo Feng's photo to the doorman below.
Therefore, after seeing Mr. Zhang, they mistakenly thought that he was the distinguished guest they were to welcome this time.
After all, this young man looks elegant and elegant, and his clothes are enough to show that he is not an ordinary person.
“Thank you for your hard work, I’ll give you a tip later!”
Mr. Zhang said to the doormen with a proud look on his face.
Then he took Li Lisi and others into the restaurant.
At this time, Townsend quickly stepped forward and blocked their way.
"You can't go in. It's Mr. Luo Feng we are waiting for, not you." Thompson's expression was serious, and there was an aura about him. He was just a secretary but he was quite imposing.
After all, in Korn Ferry, a multinational investment giant, even if he is just a secretary, he is still the person next to the general manager.
And don’t think that they are just ordinary secretaries. A secretary like this also graduated from Harvard University and is proficient in all aspects of finance and investment.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent, and a dedicated Thompson team would have been formed.
Just by hearing the name of this team, you can tell how important Thompson is, he is absolutely the core.
When Mr. Zhang heard this, his face instantly darkened, "What did you say? This is obviously everything I arranged. Where did you come from and dare to stop me?"
Li Lisi also stopped smiling and looked at Thompson with some displeasure, "Did you admit the wrong person? Do you know the influence of Mr. Zhang in this area?"
Because she had completely believed Mr. Zhang's words, and truly felt that Mr. Zhang had arranged it, and she was just deliberately teasing them by not admitting it just now.
Townsend sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"I don't care who you are, the people I greet today are not you. If you insist on breaking in, I won't be polite."
After the words fell, several bodyguards around Thompson stood directly in front of him.
Uh-huh! Uniform, majestic and solemn.
That's right, among the team he brought this time, in addition to the relevant personnel who discussed cooperation, there were also several bodyguards.
After all, they had also received information that Luo Feng was attacked by Thanatos on the intercontinental road. Thompson sent bodyguards here to protect Luo Feng's safety.
Although they knew that the Defense Bureau and Luo Feng himself had bodyguards, what they wanted to show was sincerity.
"What's going on, do you really dare to touch me here?"
To be honest, Mr. Zhang was not panicked at all. He could tell at a glance that the man in front of him, Thompson, was not from Intercontinental Island.
And as the young master of Intercontinental Island who has both black and white, how could he be afraid of a foreigner? How could he mess around if word got out?
"If you go forward, I will let my people take action. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
Not to mention that Thompson's tone became colder and colder at the end. It was really cool. Mr. Zhang was frightened.
But then he thought about himself, but the VIPs in this restaurant had priority to enter the box.
He believed that the manager of this restaurant would recognize the current situation as a good person.
Between a foreigner who can't be beaten and a local young master, everyone knows what to choose!
Then Mr. Zhang became more confident, "Oh, you are very attractive, and you bring a bodyguard? You think I don't have one, do you? Come on!"
Mr. Zhang looked back and remembered that in order to treat Li Lisi to dinner today, for some purpose, he had sent away everyone around him this time.
"What can you do if I force my way in? What do you dare to do?"
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, his face arrogant and full of arrogance. Thompson was about to ask the bodyguards around him to take action, but the restaurant manager couldn't stand and rushed over with a bright smile.
"You two, please don't get angry! The goal of our restaurant is to be happy, so don't hurt the harmony."
"Manager, you heard it too. This person didn't let me in. I remember the last time Brother Zuka gave me a VIP card, you were right next to me. What? Is my card not working?"
As he spoke, Mr. Zhang shook the shiny VIP card in his hand, as if he needed something in front of Thompson.
When the manager heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He took out a tissue and wiped it, then lowered his voice and said.
"Master Zhang, I advise you to go back for the time being. It won't be too late to come back for dinner another day. Some things may not be a good thing if you touch them."
Mr. Zhang was shocked when he heard this.
If the manager hadn't looked serious, he would have suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Let him go back? Was there any mistake? Shouldn't that foreigner be allowed to go back?
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about??"
Not to mention, he still brought Li Lisi with him this time.
Just because of his status, he can't even enter a restaurant, which is simply ridiculous.
The manager was really speechless, he had already hinted so obviously. The other party still can’t hear it?
This Thompson is not a little guy.
Although this young master's background would make some wealthy second-generation people fawn over him.
After all, the people do not fight against the officials.
No matter how rich the second generation of rich people are, they still do business, but in the end they still need a protective umbrella that they deliberately rely on.
But to Thompson, it was a giant company, with shares in many large companies throughout the intercontinental island.
Including some official corporate joint ventures, Thompson is also included.
He is no stranger to Intercontinental Island, which is why he booked this five-star restaurant as soon as he arrived.
Not to mention that Thompson's bid this time was extremely generous. It can be said that it was more than enough to buy half of the restaurant.
Spending so much money on the entire restaurant is an unprofitable business for them.
In fact, this can also highlight the determination of Thompson’s team, which must successfully invest in the Coral Island project.
"Please leave quickly and don't hang around in front of me!"
Thompson frowned, with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face.
He hates people hanging around in front of him the most. When he is usually at work, whenever someone reports to him, he will arrange a seat for those people and let them sit on the seat and try to stay still.
He didn't know why every time someone was dangling in front of him, he felt a kind of discomfort that was hard to explain.
"You also want to take care of me. I want to know who you are? And you."
Mr. Zhang was referring to the manager again, "Did your head get caught in the door?"
"Why don't you drive him away and drive me away? What international joke are you kidding!"
"Mr. Zhang, even if I beg you, it's really not appropriate for you to come here to eat today, so you'd better leave first."
"Next time we will compensate you with a free table and give you an extra..."
The manager was interrupted by Mr. Zhang before he finished speaking.
"Do you really think I'm a freeloader? Or do you think I have no money?!"
"I'm telling you. If I call Brother Zuka now, you will be derelict in your duty. Do you understand?"
Needless to say, if you are treating ordinary customers, treatment like this is already very good.
It's a pity that Mr. Zhang is not interested in these things. He has other pursuits.
Thompson couldn't stand listening anymore. He was afraid that if he continued to make trouble like this, it would affect his reception of Luo Feng.
It would be bad if it gave Luo Feng a bad impression, and that would be the end of it.
If not for this, how could he have booked a five-star restaurant first?
"This restaurant has been reserved by me. You are not qualified to enter now. I hope you won't take it anymore and leave quickly, otherwise I will really let the bodyguards take action!"
Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. If Mr. Zhang booked the entire restaurant in advance, he wouldn't say anything.
But then the entire restaurant has been booked, and during this period of time, he has the rights of the owner.
Seeing this, Li Lisi had no choice but to step forward and persuade him.
"Master Zhang, since they have already booked the room, let's forget it. What you eat is not what you eat."
Originally, it was just his own fault, but when Li Lisi said this, his dignity was completely damaged.
Even for the sake of dignity, he must fight to get back his own honor.
No one wants to show their bad side in front of a beautiful woman.
"Ms. Li, we are eating in this restaurant today. No one can stop us. I will call their boss now."
"I really don't believe it. I don't think I, a distinguished guest who personally gave it to me, can come here to eat."
Even if it is just a meal in the restaurant hall, it is enough. At least this young man is capable, and this distinguished guest is not just a decoration.
But the problem was that Thompson stopped him directly at the door. He had never gone in and could only watch the door from a distance.
Isn't this a humiliation?
Li Lisi and her manager looked at each other. They didn't expect this to happen. She originally wanted to leave, but it would be too embarrassing to stay.
Thompson didn't care, since the entire restaurant was already booked.
Moreover, he is more limited than Mr. Zhang. Even if it is the King of Heaven who comes, he, Thompson, can make sense.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the surrounding atmosphere became tense.
The doormen stood aside, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a low-key black car drove slowly and stopped at the door of the restaurant.
The car door opened and Luo Feng got out of the car.
He originally planned to go out and drive the Ferrari today, but he has been stared at by Thanatos people recently and did not dare to drive a car with such obvious markings.
This black Bentley sedan is already the lowest grade among all his cars.
Thompson recognized him at a glance and hurried forward to greet him. He said enthusiastically: "Mr. Luo, you are here. You have really kept us waiting for a long time." (End of Chapter)
