Zhang Lisheng had a dumbfounded expression on his face as he watched the arrogant enemy on the rooftop turn into his compatriot after he died.
Right at this moment, the white young man with a high nose who was still breathing let out a painful howl. His face began to twist like dough, and not long after, his height also shrunk a lot, turning into an authentic Chinese person.
Zhang Lisheng was even more surprised to see such a strange thing happening in front of him for the second time. He frowned and pondered for a while before a thought suddenly flashed across his mind.
"Don't tell me it's …" As Zhang Lisheng muttered these words, he hastily extended his sharp claws and cut open the thick clothes on the dead person. He grabbed the naked body of the dead person and carefully examined it. As expected, he found a dead winged insect at the tailbone.
"It's indeed the defective Shapeshifting Insect recorded in the Western Classic of Mountains and Seas. What a pity! What a pity!
The ancient books recorded that the Shapeshifting Insect was one of the rare treasures even in ancient times. "Zhang Lisheng took the wizard gu that went through life and death with the wizard from the dead body and looked at it carefully under the sunlight for a while. Regretfully, he muttered to himself," Even though this insect's bloodline is mixed, it might be able to transform into its original form if it's strengthened a few more times and fed with blood. But now, it's wasted in the hands of this trash.
It's no wonder that they're so unscrupulous. They have so many layers of clothes that they can change their appearance at any time. Adding on to the fact that they have the Shapeshifting Insect in their hands, it's really easy for them to escape in a big city like New York as long as they're not caught on the spot. Unfortunately, they've encountered me … "
As he was speaking, he extended his giant claws and twisted the neck of the other enemy who was still crying on the ground. After finding another dead Shapeshifting Insect from his body, he commanded the wyrmdragon to appear and devour the two corpses. Then, he returned to his ordinary appearance and put on the clothes hidden under the old wooden board on the rooftop before slowly walking down the stairs from the tall building.
With the two dead ancient rare slime in his hands, Zhang Lisheng had many strange thoughts in his mind. However, now was not a good time to implement these thoughts. He could only suppress them for the time being and hastily ran out of the dark alley to take out his phone.
Initially, Zhang Lisheng wanted to dial Tina's phone number, but he realized there were three missed calls on his phone screen.
He clicked on them and saw that they were all from Randy. Only then did he remember that he seemed to have promised to help Randy entertain his friend from Los Angeles, so he immediately called back.
"Hey, Lisheng! You finally called! Stephen, Riley, Michelle, and a group of friends are now at the Govelli Restaurant in the Upper West Side.
I've used your name, but the beautiful lady at the front desk still wants us to line up. Help me think of a solution right now, bro. My 'face' is all on you now. "
Govelli Restaurant was quite famous in New York. The beef dishes there were quite delicious and the dining atmosphere was quite good. Zhang Lisheng had been there a few times.
After listening to Randy's complaints, he said teasingly, "Randy, there's always a first come, first served order when you go to a restaurant. Shouldn't you be waiting?
Just wait, there will be seats soon. " After hanging up on his phone, he directly called up Govelli's reservation number and explained the situation.
"Oh, since it's your request, we can only create seats if there aren't any seats. Don't worry, Mr. Lisheng, I'll arrange everything properly."
"Thank you, Manager Soares. Goodbye." Upon hearing a satisfactory answer, Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone and stretched out his hand to stop a taxi on the street to rush to Govelli Restaurant.
On the way, he received another call from Randy. "This is really the elegance of a celebrity, bro! No, I should say the elegance of a big shot in New York's Vanity Fair!
I'm already in the best room in Govelli Restaurant now. This room was originally reserved for the mayor of New York, but now it's ours. The manager personally led me to this seat and even apologized to me again and again. "
"Is that so, Randy? I think they're lying to you. What Mayor Michael is most afraid of is beef." Zhang Lisheng sat in the back seat of the taxi and looked at the dead shapeshifting worm left and right as he said.
"But no matter whether it's true or not, I feel that it's very 'face', bro.
"I'm rushing to Govelli Restaurant now. I'll be there soon, but I may not be able to stay for too long."
"You can just show up and pay the bill before leaving, Lisheng. I know that you're a 'busy man'," Randy chuckled.
"Oh sh * t, Randy! You're so considerate!" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before replying, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The taxi turned left and right on the spacious main road of New York and soon sent the young man to his destination.
When he walked into the Govelli Restaurant, a foreman dressed in a well-ironed suit immediately greeted him and bowed politely. "Good afternoon, Mr. Zhang. Your friends are already waiting in the private room. Please come with me."
"Thank you." Following behind the foreman, Zhang Lisheng walked into an elegantly decorated room. The moment he opened the door, he saw the four siblings of the Lavin family, Stephen, Randy, Riley, Michelle, and a group of young men and women who had a curious and expectant look on their faces sitting around a round table, chatting excitedly.
"You actually have such an ancient round table in your restaurant?" The young man blurted out in astonishment.
"This is specially prepared for formal occasions, Mr. Zhang," The foreman explained with a smile. "Just like now, please let us know if you need anything." Then, he retreated from the room.
At the same time when he retreated, when Randy saw Zhang Lisheng appearing in the room, he could not help but shout with a smile on his face, "Aha, Lisheng! You're finally here!
Come sit beside me, brother! I've specially reserved an empty seat for you! "
"Lisheng, you're really here!" Stephen, who was sitting opposite Randy, said in astonishment, "You have so many things to do! In order to deal with Auntie Lili, you have to …"
"No matter how many things I have to do, I still have time for lunch." Zhang Lisheng shrugged with a smile and sat on the empty seat next to Randy. "Even though it's not lunchtime now."
"You've been starving just because I asked you to have lunch with me this morning. Oh, Lisheng! You're really my good brother!" Randy patted the young man's shoulder hard in a self-sentimental manner. "I'm sorry, the road has been blocked by snow, so these guys can't drive here. They can only take a plane, but in the end, the plane was delayed due to the weather.
Alright, let me introduce you guys to each other first, and then we'll eat right away. Linda, do you still remember … "
"Randy, how could I forget such a charming Miss Linda, especially when she's Stephen's girlfriend?
And Miss Feifei, I remember you said that she's your love. " Zhang Lisheng interrupted Randy's words and pointed at the two beautiful girls at the table as he said with a smile. In front of his family and friends, he would always deliberately show his low-key and kind side. Of course, this dinner was no exception.
"Oh, thank you for still remembering me, Lisheng." Upon hearing the young man's words, the beautiful Linda and Feifei waved at the same time and responded with a radiant expression. The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to be very harmonious.
Unfortunately, right at this moment, a skinny young man wearing black-rimmed glasses who was sitting by the side suddenly chimed in, "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, it seems like you're a very compassionate person when you're with your family and friends.
I wonder why you're so cruel to those unemployed workers? "
"I don't understand what you mean, sir?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before replying with a frown.
"You don't understand what I mean? Don't tell me that the expansion of the LS Group in the eight metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta is all decided by others?
Don't you know that just last night, an unemployed worker who protested outside the LS factory that you took away his' rice bowl 'had no choice but to use the car heater to survive the long night due to the freezing weather, but in the end, he died due to exhaust poisoning? "
"Emerson, what nonsense are you talking about? You're my friend, and you came to New York …" At this time, the atmosphere in the room had already taken a turn for the worse. Randy, who had finally snapped back to reality, shouted at his friend.
"Randy, it's alright. It's rare to see such a righteous guy now. I'm happy to answer his question.
Mr. Emerson, all the expansion plans of the LS Group must be approved by me. This is a must. Along with the company's expansion and merger, I believe many workers will inevitably lose their jobs. I'm very sorry about this, but this is the rule of the US 'business game.
As for the protester who died this morning, before you mentioned it, I only knew that someone had an accident outside my factory.
However, to be honest, I think every adult should be responsible for their own actions. Since he still chose to stay overnight in the wild on a snowy night, I think the biggest responsibility for such an unfortunate accident should still be on the victim himself. "
"Your answer is really too cold, Mr. Zhang Lisheng." Emerson pushed his glasses up and became silent for a while. With a flushed face, he said loudly, "I-I'll publish these words of yours on the Internet and in the newspaper so that the public can judge whether you're right or wrong.
I'll use the title 'A Cold and Extravagant Vulture Who Loves to Enjoy Despair the Most' and put it together with your current cold face. I'll tell everyone that on the noon of the day when the unemployed worker who protested against the LS Group's expansion died tragically, you, as the chairman of the group's board of directors, happily entertained your family and friends in a luxurious Upper West Side restaurant in New York.
You responded coldly and without any compassion to the questioning voices while you were having your meal. "
"Up to you, Mr. Emerson. Perhaps you can post anything you want on the Internet, but in the newspaper? I don't think any newspaper would risk being sued to the point of bankruptcy just to publish such boring news."
"Don't be so confident. The US is a free and democratic country. Justice and fairness are everywhere."
"Then I'll wait and see." Upon hearing Emerson's resolute declaration, Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally.
