Overbearing Immortal Doctor

Some sources? Zhang Dadan was perplexed and said directly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop beating around the bush!"

"Alright! I'll keep it short. You remember the last time we signed the lease with the landlord, someone with a cleaver fought us, right?" Zhou Yong said.

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Dadan looked formidable. His anger began to build. He demanded evidence and said, "Is it Chef Li?"

"Yes! That Chef Li opened a shop in the county. The Dragon Phoenix Tower is their shop. It's obvious they want to fight us." Zhou Yong scorned.

Zhang was confident in his own abilities and wasn't afraid of competing with others, but Chef Li really disgusted him.

"He was imprisoned for over 10 days, and now he dares cause trouble again?" Zhang Dadan was puzzled. He remembered Chef Li as a despicable yet cowardly person.

"Anyway, he just brought a bunch of people to cause trouble at our shop." Zhou Yong said gloomily.

Zhang Dadan saw Zhou Yong's dejection and unhappiness, as if reluctant to do so. He asked, "Zhou Yong, did our people suffer any losses?"

Zhou Yong seemed a bit surprised and smirked slightly. "How could we let ourselves be bullied in our own home?"

"Even though those men came picking a fight at our doorstep, they were just useless goods. We had several chefs in the shop, one of them a fatty!"

Sensing Zhou Yong's smugness, Zhang Dadan knew he wasn't telling the whole truth, and his anger diminished somewhat.

But Chef Li's sudden appearance made Zhang Dadan wary and even a bit uneasy.

Technically, after Chef Li's last chaos, he was imprisoned for a few days, he should be keeping his head down. Why would he dare provoke us now?

And right across from Jiji's place, he opened a restaurant to compete with Jiji! Isn't that over the line?

If one had to explain it, there's only one possibility: He found new backing, maybe he thinks he has.

As Zhang Dadan was pondering this, he saw a man swaggering in with a disdainful and arrogant look.

"Mr. Zhang, safe and sound, I see? Isn't it a beautiful sight when neighbors meet?" The crude man spoke fearlessly.

Without waiting for Zhang's bold reply, Zhou Yong stood up and said, "Qian Qian! How dare you come here?"

A few workers nearby scurried around nervously upon hearing Zhou Yong's shout, surrounding the obnoxious man.

Panic-stricken at first, he quickly recollected himself and shouted, "What do you intend to do? This time I came alone, I didn't come to stir up trouble."

"Alright, let's disperse!" Zhang Dadan gestured to the crowd, calming the agitated employees.

Zhou Yong glared at the rude man, speaking boldly, "Say, what are you up to with your nonsense? Spit it out!"

"Mr. Zhang, are you really that rough? I came here to congratulate you!" The vulgar man spoke in a peculiar tone.

His arrogant attitude further convinced Zhang Dadan that he must have secured some new backing.

"Mr. Li, I've seen many dogs, but never a lapdog. Thanks for showing me one today!" Zhang Dadan replied.

Chef Li got angry being compared to a lapdog. Unsure how to react, after a while, he fumed, "To dare is bold, but don't be proud!"

"I'll tell you today, with Li Tian and me here, you cannot handle this..."

"Li Tianlai? I must admit, that's quite bold of you..." Zhang Dadan retorted, seemingly complimenting him.

Hence, the chef naturally thought Zhang Teng's commendation for his boldness was indeed a compliment.

"Mr. Zhang, you know even if you took my spot, eventually you still lose!" Chef Li asserted confidently.

But Zhang Dadan's next words left him dumbfounded, crashing him down from his high horse.

Listening carefully to Zhang, he heard, "You misunderstood! I meant, you're just like a cockroach!"

Cockroach... cockroach? Li Tianlai immediately flew into a rage. Losing his mind for a bit, pacing in front of Zhang boldly, he threatened:

"Just you wait, I'll make you bankrupt in less than half a month and ensure you can't stay in Qingcheng!"

Seeing him shout arrogantly, Zhang Dadan kept fanning the flames, further provoking, "You're just a stray dog chased out by Sunx Family, how dare you bark at me?"

"You... you... you..." Li Tianlai stammered, unsure what to say.

Indeed, he had been ousted by the Li Family, but why? It's all because of this bastard Zhang Dadan!

And now, this damned bastard compared him to both a dog and a cockroach, infuriating!

"Who do you think you are? To truth, in Qingcheng, I say the word, and tomorrow your shop will be sealed, you'll taste what it's like to be destitute!" Zhang Dadan threatened viciously.

His ferocious appearance didn't intimidate Li Tianlai, but Zhou Yong was surprised.

Always low-key Zhang Yong had suddenly become so brash and arrogant. What was he planning?

Amid Zhou Yong's confusion, Li Tianlai laughed, "Zhang Dadan, you know many big shots, but with mountains high and emperors far, they may not come to Qingcheng!"

"Seal my shop? Believe it or not, with money..." When Li Tianlai reached this point, he suddenly realized and stopped abruptly.

Though he stopped talking in time, Zhang Dadan seized the key information – money. Among his enemies, only Qian Dongcheng bore the surname Qian, and Li Tianlai was behind him. Could it be anyone else from Qian Family?

There was one more thing, thinking about it, Zhang Dadan wondered, why would Qian Family dare bring in a chef ousted by Sunx Family?

"Zhang... Zhang Dadan, I advise you not to get physical. Otherwise, our Dragon Phoenix Building will surely crush you. Why bother?" Li Tianlai tried changing the subject.

However, having grasped the mastermind, Zhang Dadan was uninterested and angrily said, "Get out of here!"

Li Tianlai, undeterred, continued arrogantly, "Fine, don't regret later when... "

Before he finished, Zhang Dadan coldly said, "Are you deaf? I told you to leave!"

Chef Li wanted to utter harsher words, but seeing Zhang's icy stare made him swallow them back.

"Let's wait and see!" Li Tianlai stormed out, leaving Jiji's place.

After he left, Zhou Yongsheng nervously explained, "Dadan, that Dragon Phoenix Building across the street got decorated and set up in just four or five days, it's a clear warning."

Without waiting for a response from Dadan, Zhou Yong asked again, "What's Li's background? Are you thinking of something?"

"Background? Just wait! I reckon when we open tomorrow, the person backing him won't be able to show up." Zhang Dadan spoke.

Before the chef cooked some dishes and tasted them, they discussed the opening ceremony.

When Zhang Dadan ate heartily, the shop's waiter moved slowly but steadily.
