The volume of Tang Yitian's last word suddenly increased by a lot, and it was filled with dignity. Brody couldn't help but tremble as he said with trepidation, "Respected Mr. Tang, I … I unintentionally offended your friend, Mr. Xia, but I swear, I was just saying it. I didn't really want to do it …"
"What did you say?" Tang Yitian asked indifferently.
His tone was very calm, but everyone present could hear the thunder hidden under that calmness.
Brodie seemed to be stared at by a hungry lion. Even in the pleasant winter weather, his back was quickly drenched in sweat. He couldn't speak for a long time.
Lin Qiao's disgust for Brodie had reached its peak. Seeing this, he directly said, "Mr. Tang, this person came to strike up a conversation with me just now. After I rejected him …"
Lin Qiao unreservedly revealed Brodie's ugly face. Tang Yitian naturally flew into a rage after hearing it.
The son of a small winery owner actually dared to have designs on Lin Qiao! And he even dared to verbally threaten the benefactor of his family!
Furthermore, his benefactor was someone who was even more powerful than Mr. Li Jiuzhou. He was simply a god-like figure. How could a rich second-generation kid like Brodie threaten such a person?
"Mr. Xia, how do you want to deal with this Brodie?" Tang Yitian didn't make a decision on his own. Instead, he very carefully asked Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "Do as you see fit! But this guy doesn't deserve to die. Just give him a good lesson. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't be bothered to deal with such a narrow-minded person who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. However, in order to prevent Tang Hu from going overboard, Xia Ruofei still reminded him.
"Understood!" After that, Tang Yitian didn't look at Brody again. Instead, he said respectfully to Xia Ruofei, "Mr Xia, this way please!"
Brodie's heart was filled with apprehension and fear. He didn't know what kind of fate awaited him. However, after Tang Yitian's gaze swept over him, he felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't dare to say another word and could only watch as Xia Ruofei and the others gradually walked away.
When Xia Ruofei passed by Tan Lili, she said with red eyes, "Mr. Xia, thank you for today."
Xia Ruofei stopped and said, "You're welcome. You're Qiao 'er's classmate, and we're all Huaxia citizens. It's only right that we help each other in a foreign country."
Tan Lili said shamefully, "I … I mocked you and Lin Qiao before … but you didn't care about the past and helped me, I …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Let bygones be bygones. What do you plan to do next?"
Tan Lili said dejectedly, "I'm going back to China in two days … I plan to go back and repeat a year. I hope I can get into a good university …"
Tan Lili came to Australia after her college entrance exam results came out. Her score wasn't even enough to get into a second-tier university. She hoped that Zheng Peng could help her get her to study in Australia. However, she didn't expect to meet such a bad person. Zheng Peng was a complete scumbag. Not only was he a playboy, but he also bragged a lot. When he encountered trouble, he became a coward.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It's good to go back to China. Not only is there a colorful world out there, but there are also many dark sides that you can't see. I believe that after this incident, you'll have a new understanding of life. It'll be good for your future. "
"Thank you …" Tan Lili said. Then, she gathered her courage and gently bit her lip. She asked, "Mr. Xia, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" Xia Ruofei asked lightly.
Tan Lili stared coldly at Zheng Peng, who was hiding in the crowd. She gritted her teeth and said, "I beg you to hit Zheng Peng's winery hard in business. It's best if you let his family have a taste of bankruptcy! I know this request is a bit too much, but I really hate him! Mr. Xia, as long as you help me, you … I'll do anything you want me to do! "
After hearing this, Zheng Peng couldn't help but say angrily, "Tan Lili, are you crazy? What did I do to you? Why are you doing this to me … "
Tan Lili said hysterically, "I'm crazy! You bastard! What were you doing when that Japanese guy wanted to rape me? You wanted to f * cking send me to his bed with your own hands! "
"I … I didn't have a choice, did I?" Zheng Peng's face turned red and white. "In that case, you can't win against him. Why would you sacrifice yourself for nothing?"
Xia Ruofei looked at Zheng Peng and then said to Tan Lili, "Your request is very reasonable. I agree, and I don't need you to do anything …"
After hearing this, Zheng Peng looked as if his parents had died. He stumbled out of the crowd, but when he was three or four meters away from Xia Ruofei, he was blocked by several bodyguards in black.
Zheng Peng said loudly, "Mr. Xia, don't believe what this woman says! She's a bitch! In order to study in Australia, she was obedient to me. Now that she knows you're Mr. Tang's friend, she immediately turned to seduce you … This is her usual trick! "
Tan Lili heard the man she used to love crazily slandering her in such a public place without any psychological pressure. She felt a burst of desolation in her heart.
She suddenly felt how ironic it was that she used to love Zheng Peng so much.
Xia Ruofei asked lightly, "Do you mean that I'm blind?"
"No, no, no …" Zheng Peng quickly said, "I … I … I'm worried that you'll be bewitched by Tan Lili."
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power was getting more and more refined, and his perception of the surrounding environment was much sharper than before. Even some subtle expressions when people spoke could not escape his eyes.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei could feel that Tan Lili's words were from the bottom of her heart. On the other hand, Zheng Peng's eyes flickered, which was obviously a sign of a guilty conscience.
Xia Ruofei's mouth slightly curled up. He curled his lips and said, "Do you think I'd let you go even without Tan Lili's request? Count it yourself. How many times have you offended me since this afternoon? I'm too lazy to bother with you, but you're getting worse time and time again. I gave you a chance. "
After saying that, Xia Ruofei nodded slightly at Tang Yitian. Then, everyone continued to move forward and left the banquet hall.
It wasn't until Xia Ruofei and the others disappeared through the banquet hall's side door that the stifling atmosphere in the hall seemed to loosen up. Everyone was discussing what had just happened, and many people's gazes were cast on the mournful Brody and Zheng Peng.
However, everyone was at least three meters away from Brody and Zheng Peng, as if the two were carrying the plague. Everyone was afraid to approach them.
Brodie and Zheng Peng seemed to be dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. They stood there at a loss as to what to do. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their minds were in a mess. They had temporarily lost the ability to think.
After a while, Zheng Peng's phone suddenly rang. He trembled all over and took out his phone with trembling hands. When he saw that it was his father calling, his expression changed slightly.
Zheng Peng pressed the answer button, but before he could say anything, he heard his father's roar from the phone. "You unfilial son! What the hell did you do? Why did the Maya Group inform me overnight that they want to remove all of our wine from the shelves? "
Zheng Peng's face was pale as he stammered, "Dad, I … I didn't …"
"You didn't, my ass! They said that because you offended the distinguished guests of the Maya Group, all of our product display spots were canceled! "Zheng Peng's father was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Their family wasn't as rich as Zheng Peng had boasted. In fact, when the overseas M&A trend had just started a few years ago, Zheng Peng's father had transferred most of his funds overseas through various means and then bought the Wilkinson Winery. It was almost all of his assets.
Now that their business in Australia had just improved a little, and they were preparing to fight for the cooperation of the Golden Oak Winery. They didn't expect that Zheng Peng would screw it up. All of the retail channels under the Maya Group had completely removed their products from the shelves, basically declaring their winery bankrupt.
Although there were a total of three retail giants in Australia, the Maya Group had an absolute advantage in New South Wales. Moreover, Tang Yitian had personally spoken. Even the other two retail groups had to give him face. Therefore, the Wilkinson Winery's wine channels would face a situation of drying up.
Because the winery's development had been relatively smooth some time ago, Zheng Peng's family had specially used the winery as collateral to borrow a large sum of money, and were ready to increase their investment. Now that they had suffered such a blow, it was likely that the capital chain would suddenly break, and the winery would end up in a bank auction.
"Dad, what should we do?" Zheng Peng suddenly panicked.
"You ask me what to do? How the hell would I know? Get back to the winery right now, and we'll fly back tonight! " Zheng Peng's father was so angry that he cursed, then sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I'll go to Mr. Robinson of the Golden Oak Winery and give him more benefits in terms of cooperation. I'll see if he can help us find other sales channels to help us through this difficult time …"
Zheng Peng's face became a little strange, and he stammered, "Dad … I'm afraid … the Golden Oak Winery is also …"
"Also what? Why are you stammering? Just spit it out! "
"I'm afraid the Golden Oak Winery can't even protect itself!" Zheng Peng said with a wry smile. "Tonight, Mr. Robinson's son, Brody, also offended that customer, and he offended him even more than I did …"
"What!" Zheng Peng's father couldn't help but cry out.
