Xiao Lina didn't notice it when He Fan was observing silently on the second floor.

After all, the lights in the bar are dim, making it difficult to notice what's going on around you.

At this time, Xiao Lina had no intention of observing her surroundings.

She came to the bar today mainly to deal with store matters.

The matter was not as simple as she told He Fan, nor was it a trivial matter.

Just some time ago, three of her stores in Shanghai were always vandalized by unknown people.

It might be said that they were smashed, but that's not entirely true, because they didn't smash anything in the store, they just threw some paint and other indescribable things.

However, once these things were thrown away, no one dared to go to the store to buy anything, which directly caused the store's business to plummet during this period.

Xiao Lina was also very distressed about this and even called the police to deal with the matter.

The police handled the matter very quickly and the person was caught quickly.

But within two days, another group of people came over and continued to splash paint. The process repeated itself, and Xiao Lina knew that someone was deliberately trying to cause trouble for her.

But before she could figure it out, someone came to her door and said that if the store still wanted to continue operating in Shanghai, they should come out and talk.

Xiao Lina had no choice but to know that if she didn't negotiate, it would be impossible for the stores in Shanghai to operate well.

In the end, she had no choice but to agree to the other party's request, and that's how she came to the bar at night.

The two middle-aged men in their 40s and 50s sitting opposite Xiao Lina were the ones who invited her over to talk about the store this time.

But the person who calls the shots is a middle-aged bald man named Zhao Dehua, and the other one next to him is just the driver.

The remaining two women sitting next to her were the two store managers of Xiao Lina's stores.

She was also worried that the other party would have bad motives, so she specially asked these two employees to come with her.

"Mr. Zhao, I shouldn't have offended you, right?" Xiao Lina said with a frown.

Xiao Lina was a little confused. She and the other party had never met each other and had never had any conflicts. Why would the other party oppose her at every turn?

"Miss Xiao, what you said is wrong."

Zhao Dehua on the opposite side smiled and said in a deep voice: "Because of you, Miss Xiao, I lost tens of millions last year."

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Lina immediately frowned and was a little confused: "Where did Mr. Zhao start with these words?"

Zhao Dehua crossed his legs and said quietly: "Yirantang is my property!"

Now Xiao Lina finally understood.

Yirentang is also a beauty and cosmetics store and a national chain store.

Not only in Shanghai, but also in many first-tier cities across the country, you can see many Yirantang stores.

Coincidentally, Xiao Lina's stores in Shanghai are all located next to Yiran Hall.

Since both stores sell beauty products, competition will naturally arise.

However, in the past two years, the beauty products of the Meizi brand have become popular all over the country, and they have naturally been enthusiastically sought after by the Chinese people.

As a result, the business of Meizi store is booming every day, while the business of Yirantang next to it naturally plummets.

After figuring out these reasons, Xiao Lina suddenly laughed angrily: "Mr. Zhao, I don't agree with what you said. It's normal for business to have competition. You can't blame me because your store's business is not good!

"

Zhao Dehua raised his eyebrows: "If it weren't for you opening the store next to me, how could my business be so bleak?"

Seeing how unreasonable the other person was, Xiao Lina didn't know how to communicate with this person.

In the end, Xiao Lina could only say: "Mr. Zhao, you came to me today just to tell me this, right? Put your request forward!"

Hearing what Xiao Lina said, Zhao Dehua smiled.

Zhao Dehua looks about forty or fifty years old on the outside, but in fact he is only thirty-five years old.

It's just that when he was young, he always stayed up late working, which resulted in baldness and aging.

Zhao Defa is also a native of Shanghai. His family not only owns several houses obtained from previous demolitions, but also has several companies he founded with his own efforts.

However, the most profitable business under his name is the beauty industry of Yi Ran Tang, which can bring him tens of millions in profits every year.

However, since the release of Meizi Cosmetics, his Yi Ran Tang business has begun to decline.

Especially after Meizi opened many offline stores, the business of Yirantang became even more miserable.

By chance, Zhao Dehua learned that these Meizi stores in Magic City were owned by the same woman, which gave him other ideas.

For the giant Meizi Cosmetics, Zhao Dehua naturally did not dare to cause trouble. After all, it was a large company with a market value of tens of billions. He believed that his small body was not enough to compete with others.

But as a dealer and a woman, Zhao Dehua is not afraid.

Especially when Zhao Dehua also learned that this woman was a foreigner and completely helpless in this place, Zhao Dehua couldn't let go of this good opportunity.

That's why he asked someone to throw paint on her just to meet Xiao Lina so that he could make his request to her.

Originally, Zhao Dehua planned to ask Xiao Lina to compensate him for some losses and let Xiao Lina let him run one of Meizi's stores.

But when he met Xiao Lina in person, Zhao Dehua changed his mind.

Although Zhao Dehua also had many little lovers after he became rich, and there was no shortage of young and beautiful girls among them.

But compared with Xiao Lina, those little lovers of his seem to be in ruins.

"Miss Xiao, I don't tell secret stories. I invited you here today because I want to completely resolve this matter." Zhao Dehua looked at Xiao Lina with a smile and said, already having some ideas in his mind.

Xiao Lina frowned, not because of what the other party said, but because of the other party's naked gaze that made her feel a little disgusted.

"Tell me, how much do you want?" Xiao Lina said impatiently.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She was already planning to spend some money to send this person away so that she could leave here as soon as possible.

Of course, if the other party asks for an exorbitant price, Xiao Lina cannot agree to it. Her bottom line is only within 100,000 yuan.

Otherwise, if the three stores were kept being dragged down by the other party, the amount of losses would be much greater than this 100,000 yuan.

"Two million, plus the right to operate a Meizi store!"

Zhao Dehua's slightly obscene voice rang out, making Xiao Lina stunned.

She really didn't expect that the other party would be so open-minded and reveal such a sky-high price.

"You are dreaming."

Xiao Lina scolded with a gloomy face: "I will only give you 100,000 yuan at most. Don't even think about the rest."

"One hundred thousand dollars?"

Zhao Defa was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "I've already spent 40,000 to 50,000 yuan here when I invite you to come here tonight. Do you want to spend the 100,000 yuan as a beggar?"

"So there's no need to talk?" Xiao Lina's face was gloomy and she was ready to leave.

Anyway, now that she knew it was the other party who instigated the paint-throwing, she could go to the police to deal with it.

However, Xiao Lina also knew in her heart that since the other party dared to come to her door like this, she was naturally not afraid of her calling the police.

If she could solve this problem by spending some money, Xiao Lina didn't want to bother herself.

But it was impossible for her to agree to two million plus the right to operate a store.

"Miss Xiao, please be patient!"

Seeing Xiao Lina's reaction, Zhao Dehua smiled even more.

He slowly said, "Since you don't want to agree to this condition, why don't you listen to my other condition?"

After hearing what Zhao Dehua said, Xiao Lina was not in a hurry to leave.

"What conditions?" Xiao Lina asked calmly.

Zhao Dehua leaned forward, approached Xiao Lina, and then said with a smile: "I have a room at the Hilton. I hope Miss Xiao will be kind enough to come with me later."

Xiao Lina's expression changed completely. It turned out that this old gangster's purpose was here.

"Snapped!"

In anger, Xiao Lina couldn't help but slap Zhao Dehua.

"Shameless and obscene!"

Xiao Lina was still angry after being slapped, so she picked up the wine on the table and poured it on her.

Only when the drink was splashed on his face did Zhao Dehua react. He covered his cheeks that were so hot from being beaten, and cursed with a ferocious look on his face: "Mad bitch, how dare you hit me!"

As he said that, Zhao Dehua took action and slapped him right back.

With a "pop" sound, Xiao Lina's cheek immediately became red and swollen.

Zhao Dehua obviously hadn't calmed down yet, and he raised his palm with a fierce look and was about to slap him down.

If this powerful and heavy slap were to go down, Xiao Lina would probably feel uncomfortable.

But before Zhao Dehua could slap him down, a wine glass suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit Zhao Dehua on the head.

"Snapped!"
