CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 333: THE GAP BETWEEN DIFFERENT LEVELS_2

Liu Dazhi immediately followed up: "President Li, how about I cover all your expenses in Hai Province.

If you need anything, our Liu Family will absolutely go all out. You can call me anytime, 24 hours a day!"

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Li Jing to agree or refuse and turned around to angrily scold Liu Jun: "Hurry over here and apologize to President Li!"

Liu Jun was already scared out of his wits, trembling as he approached, not daring to meet Li Jing’s eyes, hanging his head in silence.

Seeing his son in such a daze, Liu Dazhi couldn’t hold back his anger, and slapped Liu Jun hard on the back of his head, shouting:

"Speak up! Are you mute? Where’s your usual vigor?!"

Liu Jun, who had never been hit by his father before, was truly startled this time and realized that his father was genuinely angry.

He no longer dared to have any other thoughts and hurriedly bowed his head, bending over, and said fearfully to Li Jing, "I-I’m sorry, I was wrong earlier.

You can punish me however you like, I’ll take back everything I said before..."

As he spoke, his voice became stammering, unsure of how to apologize better.

Under his father’s great fury, he had long forgotten his previous conflicts with Li Jing, now just hoping to get through this safely, not daring to have any reckless ideas.

But Li Jing ignored Liu Jun’s apology, only looking at Liu Dazhi calmly, saying:

"Alright, let’s just let this pass, no need for such a big scene, I never took it to heart in the first place.

Let’s end tonight’s farce here. There were quite a lot of bystanders just now."

Seeing this, Chen Wenwu understood that it was not suitable to continue, fearing bad influence, so he simply called the remaining rich second-generations around and had them all apologize to Li Jing.

For a moment, those previously arrogant rich second-generations all bowed to Li Jing in apology, a scene that amazed the onlookers.

Many even took out their phones to take pictures and record videos.

Shi Yang watching this scene had a look of surprise in her eyes too.

She never expected that Liu Jun and these rich second-generations who were so arrogant usually would collectively bow and admit wrong to a peer.

After everyone had dispersed, Chen Wenwu apologized to Li Jing a few more words.

Zeng Chao then also ran over to apologize repeatedly.

In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Zeng Chao; it was Li Jing who wanted to come alone for Shi Yang’s treat.

As a result, Zeng Chao got scolded by Chen Wenwu for this matter.

Liu Dazhi then privately talked to Li Jing about meeting city leaders after Chen Wenwu left.

Regarding this matter, Li Jing thought meeting them wouldn’t hurt, so he agreed.

Until most people had left, Li Jing also got into Zeng Chao’s car preparing to leave, Shi Yang and Zhou Yingying, who hadn’t had the chance to speak, quickly approached.

Shi Yang looked at Li Jing in the car, hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Li Jing, I..."

Before she could finish, Li Jing raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Isn’t your address incorrect?"

Hearing this, Shi Yang’s face turned slightly red and she corrected herself: "Li Jing-ge..."

Before that was finished, Li Jing interrupted again: "Didn’t you say that if I resolved this matter, you’d directly call me ’bro’?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang was stunned, then bit her lip and softly said: "Brother..."

Shi Yang’s voice was soft and pleasant, coupled with a hint of shyness, making Li Jing feel a bit itchy inside.

He couldn’t help but look at Shi Yang a few more times, particularly her figure with the perfect waist-to-hip ratio, secretly nodding in praise.

This figure was something only seen in comics.

This time, Shi Yang felt Li Jing’s gaze sweeping over her, but she didn’t feel the previous disgust, only a sense of shyness, unable to avoid covering herself with her hands, then said:

"This invitation was a mess, next time... I’ll treat you again. Do you have time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was a bit surprised, thought for a moment, and then said: "I might be going to Yashi in Hai Province in a few days, probably won’t have time in Hai City."

Shi Yang, hearing that Li Jing was going to Yashi, was surprised, thought for a moment with her head down, then just nodded silently, not saying anything more.

After Shi Yang finished speaking, Zhou Yingying, who had been waiting not far away, hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Li Jing and softly calling: "Brother Jing."

Li Jing glanced at Zhou Yingying and asked: "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yingying opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated, finally just said: "Brother Jing, I’m sorry I couldn’t help much with today’s matter. Thankfully you’re great, handling the situation."

Li Jing found it amusing after hearing it, what she said was practically meaningless and not worthy of her waiting till now.

But Li Jing understood that she stayed looking for a chance to say a few words, just wanting to get closer to him, to deepen his impression of her, worried he’d dislike her.

He wasn’t particularly interested in such smooth women, but considering she spoke up for him despite Liu Jun’s aggressiveness, he still said: "No need to apologize, thank you for today."

Being thanked by Li Jing, Zhou Yingying was flattered, her face immediately breaking into a smile.

Unlike her previous teasing and flirtatious provocations, this time her smile was much more sincere, quickly saying: "Thank you, Brother Jing! You don’t need to thank me; I should be the one thanking you."

Li Jing said nothing more, just waved his hand, signaling Zeng Chao to drive away.

By the roadside, Shi Yang and Zhou Yingying watched the car disappear into the distance, each with their thoughts, exchanging a few casual words before turning to leave.

Back home, after washing up and preparing to rest, Li Jing found WeChat continuously receiving new messages, the notification sound kept ringing.

He initially thought it was from Shi Yang or Chen Wenwu, opened it only to find it was messages from people in Tianhai.

Wei Jia messaged: "You’re really high-profile, causing a stir even in Hai City.

All those rich second-generations bowing and apologizing to you, truly your style."

Wei Jia’s tone was still somewhat sarcastic, with a video attached at the end.

Li Jing clicked on the video, finding it was the scene of the rich second-generations apologizing to him earlier.

The short video’s likes had exceeded ten thousand in just a few hours, with a title reading:

"Who says a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake? Outsider bigshot appears in Hai City, rich second-generations collectively bow and admit fault!"

Li Jing found it a bit speechless after watching.

Then he opened a message from An Tong.

An Tong’s reaction was completely different from Wei Jia’s, she wrote: "Li Jing, are you okay? What happened there, why so many rich second-generations causing you trouble? Want me to come and accompany you?

Though I might not be much help, at least I can handle some trivial matters for you."

Seeing An Tong’s words, Li Jing couldn’t help but think of her gentle and kind demeanor, smiling slightly, replied that it was fine, reassuring her.

Next, he saw Zhang Xinxin’s message: "Wow, Brother Li Jing, you’re so cool! All those Hai City rich second-generations bowing and admitting fault, truly my Brother Li Jing!

If only I could have gone with you to Hai City, it must have been super exciting!"

Then, Zhou Li and Yang Xiaoxiu also sent messages inquiring about the situation, full of concern.

Even Huang Jun, Zhou Shun, and Xu Yingning sent messages, it seemed everyone in Tianhai knew about it.

The last message on his phone was from Chen Wenwu, likely contacted by Chen Yingning, who explained helplessly:

"President Li, my sister and brother-in-law found out about it. My sister really cares about you and scolded me harshly.

President Li, if anything happens next time, you must let me know first, or my sister might actually drive me out of the house."

Hearing this, Li Jing helplessly shook his head.

He never expected that such a seemingly insignificant little thing would attract so much attention and discussion.

He spent some time simply replying to everyone’s messages and then lay down on the bed, comfortably drifting off to sleep.
