Chapter 830 Meng Jingzhou’s reputation
"Who asked you for the rent?" The young man was furious. I want you to ask for the rent. What is the use of renting this shabby house?
The waiter in the shop was probably frightened by the young man's attitude, and he stammered when speaking.
“Guest, guest, you didn’t ask clearly, I, I didn’t know you couldn’t afford the rent.”
"you!"
The young man's movements were too ostentatious and quickly attracted the attention of the diners.
“Is that the left prime minister’s grandson Li Zhuo?”
“He is Li Zhuo, who is known as one of the four young masters of the Imperial City. I heard that the Prime Minister Zuo particularly likes this little grandson?”
“My dear, wouldn’t the person who competes with Li Zhuo for financial resources be in bad luck?”
“Whoever says otherwise, who dares to compete with Li Zhuo for the limelight in the Imperial City?”
“And the waiter in the shop, I’m afraid he will also suffer.”
Lu Yang was not very clear about the prices in Imperial City and asked curiously: "Is the rent in Tianxiang Building very expensive? Why does it look like he can't afford it?"
Meng Jingzhou yawned boredly beside him: "You are a poor guy, I understand. He just likes to look fat in front of his female companion, tighten his belt, and order a bottle of wine and a few side dishes. He can’t get the rent out even if his waist is broken. Waiter, I’ll pay the rent for Tianxiang House for you for one year!”
The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly went to serve Meng Jingzhou's table. He rubbed his shoulders and beat his legs for Meng Jingzhou: "Thank you, sir!"
Li Zhuo's face turned red and white in turns. He is a very decent person, and he is public in his work. He has never been in trouble here before.
He even felt that the eyes of those who recognized his identity and were originally in awe of him became different.
He quickly calculated how many spiritual stones he could produce: "It's not just one year's rent, I'll pay two years for Tianxiang House!"
The waiter in the shop was overjoyed and ran to Li Zhuo to rub his shoulders and beat his legs with skillful movements.
“Three years.” Meng Jingzhou said lazily, without even raising his eyelids. To him, this was just small change.
The waiter in the shop defected to Meng Jingzhou's side again.
"Three and a half years...four years!" Li Zhuo really didn't dare to take out so many spirit stones, but when he thought that half a year would be enough, he added another half year.
“Five years, plus everyone’s consumption today will be charged to me.” Meng Jingzhou said casually. He had a happy meal today and spent money as he wanted.
The waiter in the shop was running around, wishing he could create a clone to massage the two patrons at the same time.
Li Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to curse. Where did this upstart come from? If he found out the identity of the other party later, he would never hope to do a business in the Imperial City!
“Six years!”
He squinted his eyes and stared at Meng Jingzhou's hateful face: "Wait a minute, I can take out so many spiritual stones, can you take them out?"
“Since you have been shouting for five years just now, you need to prove that you have so many spiritual stones!”
Meng Jingzhou sneered: "Don't talk about five years' rent, I can pay even six years' rent. I'm just too lazy to argue with you."
"That's what you said!" Li Zhuo didn't believe it. The other party could take out so many spiritual stones. It was very stressful for him to take out these spiritual stones at once.
“Go and invite the Meng family to come over and collect rent!” Li Zhuo ordered the guards. Tianxiang Tower is the property of the Meng family.
By the way, let the guard go to the house to get some spiritual stones. He doesn't have so many spiritual stones on hand.
Not long after, the chief steward Xu You came over. He used to go to Tianxiang Tower to collect rent.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as you can vent your anger now.
Xu You used his consciousness to check the storage ring and found that it was indeed six years' rent.
“It’s your turn now!” Li Zhuo stared at Meng Jingzhou, “I want to see how you can get six years’ rent!”
Meng Jingzhou turned his head and stretched out his hand to Xu You: "Uncle Xu, give me some spiritual stones."
Xu You handed Meng Jingzhou the storage ring he just got. Although Meng Jingzhou was disguised, he was like this when he came to the Imperial City. Xu You had seen it.
“Look, six years’ rent.”
“Are you from the Meng family?!” Li Zhuo reacted and could no longer suppress his anger. He felt like a clown, being played by the other party.
“You’re the one who’s kidding! It’s reasonable to drive away the guests!” Meng Jingzhou stopped pretending and simply took off his mask.
When Li Zhuo saw this scene, he felt as if he had been poured cold water on him. The anger he was about to burst out completely disappeared, and he stood there blankly. Then he pointed at Meng Jingzhou and shivered and shouted: "Are you Meng Jingzhou?!"
Why is this guy back?
Why didn't anyone notify him?
Or, was he the first person to know that Meng Jingzhou was back? !
"Hey, Li Zhuo, you've grown up, you dare to call me by my name?" Meng Jingzhou smiled evilly, twisted his neck and moved his wrists, making a rattling sound, and stepped closer to Li Zhuo, so frightened that Li Zhuo couldn't even care about his arms. The beautiful female companion stepped back again and again.
The diners who were watching the show did not expect that it was Meng Jingzhou who dared to compete with Li Zhuo for financial resources.
"The eldest young master of the Meng family is back!" Some people knew what this meant, and their hearts trembled. They feared that the Imperial City would not be peaceful these days.
“Who is the eldest young master of the Meng family?” The person asking the question was someone who was not familiar with the Imperial City.
“Meng Jingzhou, the eldest young master of the Meng family, haven’t you heard of him? The one who joined the Taoist sect.”
“Then who is better, him or the four young masters of the Imperial City?”
"The fourth young master of the Imperial City is nothing. If Meng Jingzhou had not left the Imperial City, how could the four of them have dared to show their faces? This man is a ruthless person who even dares to beat the little prince!"
“I heard that Li Zhuo was taught a lesson. Was it this man named Meng Jingzhou who did it?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
“Who is the person sitting next to Master Meng?”
"do not know."
Li Zhuo's face turned pale. He was so frightened by Meng Jingzhou. He forced a smile and said, "What did Master Meng say? It's been a long time since we last met. I was so excited that I forgot the rules."
"Old Lu, how are you? Do you know my young master's status in the imperial city?" Meng Jingzhou showed off proudly. This was the rule he had set at the beginning. When Li Zhuo and the others saw him, they would all call themselves young master.
Lu Yang rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him. What's the point? I'm a Taoist sect and I'm still the sect leader.
"Old Lu...he is Lu Yang!" After knowing Meng Jingzhou's identity, people who are familiar with "Legends of the Taoist Sect" can easily guess Lu Yang's identity and cried out.
In terms of popularity alone, Lu Yang’s popularity is higher than that of the left prime minister.
Perhaps people don’t know what the left prime minister is called or what he has done, but they must know what Lu Yang did.
“That disciple who doesn’t speak of Taoist, is Lu Yang, the next leader of the Taoist sect?!”
“It’s him, no one else dares to call him Lu Yang now!”
“How come they both came to the Imperial City!”
