At first, Chen Fang thought this Zhu Qinghuan was an old friend of Zheng Chi's.

But from the tone, it was clear there was conflict between the two.

"Zhu Qinghuan, don't stir up trouble. The matter before was your own fault, what's it got to do with me?"

Zheng Chi flushed and said sternly, "Stop being unreasonable. We've finished eating and are leaving now."

"Leaving? Sure, who do you think you are? You're a police officer, and I'm just a common person. Would I dare make things difficult for you?"

Zhu Qinghuan replied sarcastically.

He gestured to someone outside, calling, "Waiter, come here to settle the bill."

In just a moment.

A waiter walked in.

Zhu Qinghuan took the bill from his hand.

He didn't even glance at it.

He said, "So, who's paying the bill?"

"I'll pay."

You can't really let the Mayor foot the bill, can you?

Zheng Chi was still quite proactive.

Zhu Qinghuan smirked.

He glanced at the table and said, "For this table, I'll charge you twelve thousand, considering we're colleagues. I'll round it down to ten thousand for you."

As soon as he said that.

Both Chen Fang and Zheng Chi widened their eyes.

There were a total of five dishes on the table.

Two meat, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.

And they were all very ordinary dishes.

Even at two thousand per dish, it didn't add up to that price.

"Ten thousand? Are you extorting us?"

Zheng Chi exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghuan immediately retorted, "Chief Zheng, you can eat recklessly, but you can't speak recklessly, what do you mean by extortion? This is a legitimate restaurant."

"Let me see the price list for the dishes."

Zheng Chi said unhappily.

Zhu Qinghuan wasn't worried in the slightest.

He picked up the menu and directly altered the prices to two thousand each with a pen.

Then handed it to Zheng Chi, saying, "Here's the menu you asked for."

Zheng Chi was simmering with anger.

This blatantly was just trying to cause trouble.

At this moment, Zheng Chi wanted to pay the bill and avoid further trouble, planning to address the issue after sending Chen Fang away. Unfortunately, he didn't have ten thousand yuan on him at all.

"Boss, can you change the prices whenever you like?"

Chen Fang, who hadn't spoken so far, stood up slowly, seeing his predicament, and asked.

Zhu Qinghuan raised his chin and said, "My place, I change them as I please. What can you do about it?"

"Fine, I'll pay. Just give me a receipt so I can reimburse it later."

Chen Fang said.

Zheng Chi, on the side, wanted to argue.

But Chen Fang glared at him, cutting him off.

"Ha, you think I don't dare give you a receipt?"

Zhu Qinghuan replied disdainfully.

He turned to the waiter and said, "Go, prepare a receipt for ten thousand."

Then he looked back at Chen Fang and asked, "Whose name should be on it?"

"Just put it under Chen Fang, the character 'Chen' with the ear-radical, and 'Fang' as in 'indulgent'."

Hearing this response.

Zhu Qinghuan waved his hand.

The waiter quickly scampered off.

In just a few minutes.

He was back.

Handing over a receipt.

At the same time.

Chen Fang handed a bank card to the waiter.

The POS machine beeped, and just like that, ten thousand yuan was gone.

Watching this, Zhu Qinghuan was very pleased.

Not only did he make a big profit, but he also efficiently overshadowed Zheng Chi; how could he not be happy?

"Boss, how about this? I'm expecting a few more friends to arrive shortly. Please prepare a few more dishes; I'll pay for everything."

Chen Fang said.

Zhu Qinghuan thought he'd met a big spender.

He smiled broadly and said, "Right away, right away..."

With that, he turned and left.

As he stepped out.

He called the waiter over.

And asked, "Go to the kitchen and see if there's any swill left, bring me a few bowls, and deliver them to this private room."

The waiter was stunned and asked, "Boss, is this appropriate?"

Zhu Qinghuan kicked him and shouted, "Just do as I say! Why so much talk?"

Meanwhile.

In the private room, Zheng Chi, looking apologetic, explained to Chen Fang the conflict he had with Zhu Qinghuan.

A year ago.

Zhu Qinghuan was also a police officer with the Changting District Public Security Bureau.

At the time, he was serving as the deputy captain of the security team.

One day, Deputy Bureau Chief Zheng Chi, who was overseeing the inspection team, received a report.

It alleged that Zhu Qinghuan was coercing women he arrested in vice raids into sexual acts with him.

So.

Zheng Chi ordered the inspection team to investigate.

The truth was uncovered quickly.

Such incidents with Zhu Qinghuan were numerous, and there were serious issues such as accepting bribes during case resolutions.

Upon learning he was under investigation.

Zhu Qinghuan immediately went to Zheng Chi, hoping for leniency.

Despite his flaws, Zheng Chi had a sense of justice and didn't respond to Zhu Qinghuan's plea; he directly reported the case.

As a result, Zhu Qinghuan was stripped of his police uniform that year and later opened this restaurant.

In a way, Zheng Chi was his nemesis.

Hearing this.

Chen Fang was puzzled.

He asked, "With so many serious issues, he merely lost his police uniform?"

Zheng Chi nodded and said, "Zhu Qinghuan's family has money. They spared no effort and expense to protect him at that time. It was also because of District Chief Lu's word that the incident was suppressed."

"Lu Ke again..."

Chen Fang muttered.

And because of this.

The dismissed Zhu Qinghuan wasn't the least bit afraid of Zheng Chi.

He even openly humiliated him.

In short, because he had backing.

"Mayor Chen, are you really expecting more friends?"

Zheng Chi asked curiously.

Chen Fang smiled slightly, took out his phone, and said, "I wasn't, but now I am..."

About fifteen minutes later.

The door to the private room was pushed open again.

Reeking of alcohol, Zhu Qinghuan walked in first, saying, "Honored guests, your dishes have arrived..."

With that.

He waved his hand.

A waiter pushed a cart in.

When he placed the first dish on the table, Chen Fang and Zheng Chi were stunned.

Especially Zheng Chi, who gasped angrily, "Zhu Qinghuan, what is this stuff?"

Zhu Qinghuan feigned innocence, saying, "Isn't this what you ordered? These are the dishes I prepared."

"This is clearly kitchen waste!"

Zheng Chi shouted.

Zhu Qinghuan chuckled and said, "Yes, it's swill. The kind of food depends on the people. If you don't have enough, there's plenty more in the kitchen. Today, this restaurant will make sure you eat to your satisfaction..."

Once those words were spoken.

Even the waiter couldn't help but cover their mouth in laughter.

What kind of animal eats swill?

Undoubtedly, pigs.

Zhu Qinghuan's intention was clear: to satirize that Zheng Chi and his friend were pigs.

"You... you go too far!"

Zheng Chi took a deep breath and said.

Zhu Qinghuan couldn't care less and said, "Too far? You don't have to eat it. But since the dishes are served, you still have to pay. Two thousand per dish, cash or card?"
