When Ling Zhenfei said this, Boss Fei's face changed, and he said, "Boss, please let us go. We can't afford to provoke anyone. Besides, people in the Jianghu have principles to uphold; we can't say anything."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, you should know my methods by now. Letting you go today isn't free. If anything happens to my shop in the future, whether you did it or not, get ready to feed the fish in the river. I, Ling Zhenfei, keep my word."
"Yes, yes, yes, we know. We'll definitely keep the Xi Shan Restaurant protected well from now on." The three of them replied together.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Okay, you can go now. Remember what you said."
Interestingly enough, once these three heard Ling Zhenfei's words, they felt a sudden lightness come over them, and their legs could actually move.
Even though they could move, their legs had gone numb from kneeling for so long, and they hobbled out of the Xishan Manor's grounds, supporting each other.
They got outside, were picked up by their underlings, got in the car, and sped away as fast as they could.
This scene left those present at Ling Zhenfei's venue absolutely stunned. No one had expected that Ling Zhenfei would be so powerful. His manner of reprimanding Boss Fei had left a very deep impression on everyone.
"Did everyone see that? Although we were a bit far and couldn't hear what Ling Zhenfei said to those three bosses just now, we could see that they fled in a rather embarrassed manner.
What does this mean? It can only mean that Ling Zhenfei's influence is truly immense. We don't even know why that person was kneeling for so long—this scene is simply bizarre."
"We also saw a beauty earlier, according to netizens, that's the beautiful owner of the Imperial Palace Hotel. Her aura is no less than that of any star; let's see what else might happen later."
At this point, Xiao Yaqing was also very surprised. Looking at Ling Zhenfei, she said, "You really have some skills. The three brothers from the Fei family are notoriously difficult, but you've managed to handle them easily. How did you do it?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Who knows what those three were thinking. Maybe they got scared knowing that the famous 'Xiao Beauty' was coming."
Xiao Yaqing chuckled, "Mr. Ling, you really know how to joke. They were kneeling here for a while by the time I arrived, what does it have to do with me?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Maybe they were kneeling and waiting for Xiao Beauty to arrive, and see, the moment you came, they left."
Xiao Yaqing said, "You're funny. By the way, has Yuluo contacted you? The place he went to is so dangerous; I really don't know how he's doing."
Ling Zhenfei said, "He hasn't contacted me. How long is he going to be there? Is he really not coming back for the New Year?"
Xiao Yaqing said, "He probably won't come back. He doesn't have family in China, just a few friends, so coming back would just add to the hassle."
"That's true. Alright, let's not talk about this now. Please come inside." Ling Zhenfei escorted Xiao Yaqing into the restaurant.
The troublemakers had left, and so did the main drama, indirectly proving Ling Zhenfei's power. From now on, anyone in the scene wanting to cause trouble at Xi Shan Restaurant will need to think twice.
Ling Zhenfei looked at the time; the auspicious hour was almost here, and just at that moment, several cars approached from the distance. Everyone was drawn to the people in the cars, eager to know who had arrived this time.
Initially, the people in line just wanted to get in sooner, but with so many big names coming in, they became interested in who else might show up.
Ling Zhenfei was also curious, as he hadn't invited anyone himself, so he had no idea who might come today.
Once the cars stopped, dedicated personnel opened the car doors, and everyone was stunned by those who stepped out.
"To those watching the live stream, did you see who came? With my limited insight, let me introduce everyone.
"From the first car, we have the famous Director Xu Yuan and acclaimed screenwriter Si Ma Gang. In the second car, we've got the newly popular actress Tong Guoguo and rising star Lv Siwei.
The person in the third car probably needs no introduction; it's the hottest actor, Han Ge. It's unexpected yet somewhat expected that Han Ge would come.
Why do I say that? Because everyone knows that Ling Zhenfei has helped Han Ge before, even to the point of saving his life. It makes sense they would come to his opening.
The people in the fourth car I can't recognize, maybe they're newcomers in TV dramas. Is Director Xu here to promote a TV series, treating this as a variety show?
Ling Zhenfei was utterly surprised, never expecting these people to come, seeing that Director Xu had even brought his crew along.
Ling Zhenfei quickly stepped forward and first shook hands with Director Xu: "Director Xu, why haven't you given me a heads up about your coming?"
Xu Yuan laughed, "Don't blame me; these kids insisted on keeping it a surprise for you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "This surprise is too much; I'm stunned."
Director Xu promptly introduced, "Let me introduce the person next to you, the renowned screenwriter, Si Ma Gang."
Si Ma Gang is his pen name; Ling Zhenfei didn't know his real name, but he certainly knew the name Si Ma Gang.
Ling Zhenfei quickly greeted Si Ma Gang, but it seemed Si Ma Gang was more excited than him.
"It's an honor, Divine Doctor Ling. You wouldn't believe how much Old Xu has praised you in front of me; I've never heard his evaluation of anyone higher than you."
"That's because Mr. Xu thinks highly of me. I've long admired your work; I grew up watching the dramas you wrote."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then directed everyone inside, but Ling Zhenfei still had to greet others.
However, due to the arrival of Han Ge and others, the scene quickly turned into a fan meeting. Han Ge was surrounded and protected by several security guards, just in case of incidents.
Lv Siwei, having starred in several dramas, was also popular, while Guoguo, being a newcomer to TV drama, didn't attract as much attention.
Guoguo gained fame because Xu Yuan made sure she appeared in media more frequently when promoting the new drama. Her good looks, boosted by Xu Yuan's and Han Ge's influence, gave her a high starting point.
This has made Xu Yuan's drama a hit before it even aired, with many eagerly anticipating Guoguo's performance, Ling Zhenfei included.
Ling Zhenfei shook hands with Lv Siwei, gave Guoguo a hug, and as he greeted Han Ge, Han Ge warmly gave Ling Zhenfei a hug.
Ling Zhenfei had a good impression of Han Ge and was surprised to learn that Han Ge had taken a liking to He Lingxiu, though he wasn't sure what had happened between the two in the end.
