Chapter 12 Half-year period
The Chef's Cottage is a well-known private restaurant in Jianghai City, which is loved by the upper class and successful people.
If you are a little late, I am afraid that there will be no seats, even if you book by phone in advance, once the appointment time is exceeded, it will not reserve a seat for you.
Receiving Liu Yunqing's call, Xiao Yunfei was still slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the elders of the Liu family would make an appointment to meet him under such circumstances.
However, no matter what, he already has an inseparable relationship with Liu Yunqing, and he has made a promise, so there is no room for refusal.
Therefore, Xiao Yunfei did not hesitate and agreed directly.
When he learned that the place of the appointment was in the chef's hut, Xiao Yunfei, who had already been with Xiao Ru'er, went out alone after eleven o'clock.
This is the first time to meet Liu Yunqing's elders, so naturally he can't be late, so as not to leave a bad impression.
Based on this alone, it can still be seen that Liu Yunqing already has a certain status in Xiao Yunfei's heart, otherwise, there have been so many women overseas, how could Xiao Yunfei have such a caring attitude?
At around half past eleven, Xiao Yunfei walked into the chef's hut with steady steps.
There were already a lot of guests dining inside, and there were only a few tables left in the hall.
After a while, a waiter greeted him with a smile on his face: "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"I made an appointment with Mr. Liu of Yunhai Group, have they arrived?" Xiao Yunfei smiled indifferently and said softly.
"Mr. Liu has arrived, please come with me. The waiter immediately showed a respectful attitude, made a gesture of please, and led the way ahead.
Yunhai Group is the pride of Jianghai City, and Liu Rufeng is a well-known figure in Jianghai City.
Following the waiter, he soon came to the door of a private room on the second floor, only to see the waiter take two steps forward, knock gently, and then push the door in: "Mr. Liu, your guest has arrived, do you start serving?"
"Let's serve. ”
Liu Rufeng waved his hand indifferently, and then his eyes fell directly on Xiao Yunfei's body, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy and sorrow and attitude at all.
"Okay, I'll go tell the kitchen. ”
Immediately, the waiter respectfully exited the private room and closed the door.
"Don't be restrained, I asked you to come out to meet, I don't mean anything else, I just want to see what kind of person Xiao Yunfei is, who can make my baby daughter desperately insist on breaking the marriage contract with the Xu family. Looking at Xiao Yunfei, who was still standing at the door with a calm face, Liu Rufeng's face was flat, and he spoke directly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yunfei was also slightly stunned, obviously Liu Rufeng's attitude was beyond his expectations.
But then, he calmly came to sit down opposite Liu Rufeng: "Uncle Liu, am I disappointing you?"
In any case, being able to be invited by Liu Rufeng at least means that he has entered the other party's sight, and he has a great grasp of coming together with Liu Yunqing in the future.
"It's not a disappointment, it's just a little bit different from what I imagined. Liu Rufeng smiled softly, and seemed to have some discrepancies in Xiao Yunfei's thoughts.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yunfei replied softly, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Liu thinks I need to improve there? As long as you bring it up, I will definitely listen to it." ”
During the conversation, the food began to come one after another.
Liu Rufeng, as the master, also began to greet Xiao Yunfei warmly.
Although there has been no progress in this meeting, in Liu Rufeng's opinion, Xiao Yunfei's attitude still makes him very comfortable, if he can reach the point where he is satisfied, it is not impossible to give Xiao Yunfei a chance.
"Uncle Liu, thank you for the invitation, I toast you. With all the meals ready, Xiao Yunfei took the initiative to mix the wine, and then said to Liu Rufeng.
"Dry. ”
Liu Rufeng smiled indifferently, directly picked up his wine glass, touched Xiao Yunfei lightly, and then drank it all.
Wine is like character!
In this appointment, Liu Rufeng did not have the intention of testing Xiao Yunfei's character.
If you want to become the son-in-law of the Liu family, it is important to be the right person, but if a person's conduct is not up to par, even if Liu Yunqing marries him, it will inevitably be difficult to be happy.
As for Xu Fei, if it weren't for the two families, the marriage contract would be set in the hands of the older generation, with Liu Rufeng's character, after learning about Xu Fei's handsome character, he might not really agree to this marriage.
It is precisely for this reason that after Liu Yunqing showed a resolute attitude of opposition, Liu Rufeng will make certain concessions.
As a father, why don't you want your daughter to be happy?
"Yunfei, we can be regarded as acquaintances, you tell me honestly, what do you think about the situation of the Xiao family?" After a few glasses of wine, Liu Rufeng's name for Xiao Yunfei also began to change.
Obviously, for Xiao Yunfei, he is still more and more satisfied.
"Uncle Liu, I don't lie to you, although the situation of the Xiao family seems grim, in my eyes, it is not a difficult matter, and if you want to solve it, it will not take much effort at all. Xiao Yunfei's eyes flashed, and after only a slight hesitation, he said a little proudly.
In the words, he revealed absolute confidence.
If it was someone who knew Xiao Yunfei, he would naturally not have the slightest suspicion, because Xiao Yunfei had the qualifications to say this.
But on the contrary, Liu Rufeng met Xiao Yunfei for the first time, and even more, if it weren't for Liu Yunqing, he wouldn't have the idea of meeting Xiao Yunfei.
Therefore, after hearing Xiao Yunfei's arrogant words, Liu Rufeng's face changed slightly, and his eyes instantly turned cold: "Yunfei, you are going a little too far, right?"
That's right, Liu Rufeng thinks that Xiao Yunfei is exaggerating.
Young people should indeed have an arrogant side, but they also need a realistic attitude.
The Xiao family has been in Jianghai City for many years, and they do have a very deep heritage, and they are not easily suppressed, but now the situation is different, and it has begun to decline.
In particular, the news of Xiao Wanlong's serious illness is even more precarious.
For a long time, the entire Xiao family has relied on Xiao Wanlong's strength to survive, and once Xiao Wanlong dies, I am afraid that many hostile forces will take action at this time.
When the time comes, how will the Xiao family survive this catastrophe?
Could it be that it is just Xiao Yunfei's illegitimate son?
Even if he has shown enough ability and strength, in Liu Rufeng's eyes, there is still a huge gap compared to Xiao Wanlong, who has been dominant for many years.
If it weren't for Liu Yunqing's tough attitude, after Xiao Yunfei's words, Liu Rufeng wouldn't have been in the mood to continue talking, let alone persuading Xiao Yunfei bitterly.
"Uncle Liu, you don't know me, so you don't know my abilities. Xiao Yunfei naturally felt that Liu Rufeng's attitude had changed, but in his tone, he did not give in at all, and still said confidently: "In my opinion, this thing really can't stump me, even the entire Jianghai, in my opinion, is too small, and if you want to give full play to my ability, it is very lacking." ”
Arrogant!
Arrogant!
Liu Rufeng never thought that under such circumstances, Xiao Yunfei was still so proud, and he could have such self-confidence, not absolute confidence in his own strength, that is, a fool, an idiot who does not measure his strength and does not rhyme with the world.
But judging from the matter of the Dragon City Martial Arts Hall, Xiao Yunfei showed a very strong ability, which directly made the Bai family suffer a dumb loss.
Based on this alone, it can still be proved that Xiao Yunfei does have extremely strong ability.
Could it be that Xiao Yunfei really didn't take the entire Jianghai City into account?
Thinking of this, Liu Rufeng couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
But in a moment, it had calmed down.
Even if this is a fact, it can only prove that Xiao Yunfei has ambitions that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and it still needs facts to prove that he can get to that point in the end!
If Xiao Yunfei died halfway, wouldn't the Liu family's rash acceptance lead to fire?
After figuring out the truth, Liu Rufeng's attitude instantly became indifferent, and he said rationally: "You have this ambition, and I appreciate it very much, but the truth is often not something that can be done in one or two sentences." ”
"According to the information I have got, now the Bai family has been actively preparing and intends to completely suppress the Xiao family. ”
"In Jianghai City, the Bai family also has a very deep heritage, and it may be very difficult for the Xiao family to survive this catastrophe. ”
"What's more, your relationship with Yunqing is inexplicable, and you have completely offended the second son of the Xu family in the capital, and he took the initiative to get in touch with the Bai family and is ready to attack you. ”
"What's this?" Xiao Yunfei disdainfully said coldly: "The Xu family, maybe it is an extremely powerful family for Jianghai City, but in the entire capital, it is only second-rate, they want to cross the river with a strong dragon and come to deal with me, it is not so easy." ”
Not to mention, now it's just Xu Jiajunzi's own thoughts. ”
"If this is the case, it can't pose a threat to me at all, even if I get the support of the Xu family and take full action, I won't have the slightest fear. ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Xiao Yunfei's tone was full of confidence.
"Good. ”
Liu Rufeng's eyes flickered, and he praised loudly: "Since the virtuous nephew is so confident, then I will wait and see, if you can really make the Xiao family survive this catastrophe, completely suppress the Bai family, and restore the former prestige of the Xiao family, then I will not stop you from interacting with Yunqing." ”
"On the contrary, if you fail, then Yunqing will definitely marry into the Xu family, and this will definitely not change. ”
"Also, I said ugly things in the front, in this battle, the Liu family will not come forward, it will only remain neutral, so if you have the idea of using the Liu family, then give up as soon as possible. ”
"No problem, then it's decided, we'll take it for half a year, if by then, I still haven't made the slightest progress, I'll take the initiative to give up Yunqing. Xiao Yunfei agreed directly with absolute confidence.
