"No, no, no, the reason why I came to you today is not to ask for anything special for our family. Liu Xinghao hurriedly waved his hand.

"Then what do you mean?" Ye Ruyun said puzzled.

"What I mean is very simple, that is, I hope that not only our family will be approved, but our neighbors in that area will receive a reasonable compensation for the demolition. You may not know that most of the residents living in Nancheng are old people who are about the same age as my parents, and these old people have contributed their lives to the country, and they are all honest and honest people. The only thing they have is probably just such a house. ”

Liu Xinghao has lived here since he was a child, and these neighbors around him have watched him grow up since he was a child, and now these neighbors have become old men and old ladies with white hair and white beards, and he must try his best to fight for more benefits for them.

"I understand what you said, but now after all, it is a commercial society, and the company's capital operation has its own set of rules. To put it mildly, capitalists are profit-seeking by nature, you know. Ye Ruyun smiled and reached out to brush away a strand of broken hair on her forehead. Unconsciously, she, a veteran of business warfare, skillfully used her charm as a weapon and began to wrestle with Liu Xinghao.

"Haha, the business community, I know. You developers want to pay less for demolition, and ordinary people want to get more demolition money, which is the most practical wish of both sides. But if the opinions are not unanimous, everyone can also put it on the table to talk, right?" Liu Xinghao is well versed in the rules of business negotiations, and he can't be in a hurry to let the other party agree to his side's demands in a few words at the beginning, and it is inevitable that he will have to pull back and forth a few times, and the negotiations are like this, take your time.

At this time, the waiter's eldest sister brought the dishes.

Steamed sea bass, red garlic prawns, mouth-watering stir-fried sea melon seeds with chili peppers, and stir-fried broccoli are all part of the delicious and fragrant dishes.

"The dish is here, let's eat it first. Don't act like you're negotiating in business. Liu Xinghao smiled and took the lead in picking up chopsticks.

"Hehe, then you're welcome?" Ye Ruyun picked up a prawn and put it in her bowl, and her dexterous little hand peeled off the shrimp skin with three strokes and five divisions of two, and took out a whole shrimp.

And Liu Xinghao didn't pay so much attention to it, he directly picked up a prawn and stuffed it into his mouth, and even chewed and chewed it all together.

"Fool, you eat shrimp like this, and you are not afraid of being pierced. Ye Ruyun couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Xinghao's straightforward appearance. "Well, this shrimp is for you. After that, she actually handed the shrimp she had just peeled in front of Liu Xinghao.

"Uh, is this an illusion? The big beauty came to feed me shrimp herself!" Liu Xinghao couldn't help but be stunned, and his brain stopped a little for a while. "She suddenly made such an intimate move, could it be that she still has any thoughts about me? I'm a big man, and I'm still afraid that you won't make it! Don't eat for nothing! Don't eat for nothing!"

Thinking so, Liu Xinghao stretched his neck, ready to eat the shrimp that was brought to his mouth in one bite.

Who knew that Ye Ruyun suddenly retracted her hand and said with a smile: "Hey, you're really embarrassed! Don't help me peel the shrimp, you still want to eat my peeling? With that, he threw the shrimp into his mouth, with a smug smile on his face.

The atmosphere on the table was warm, and the two of them laughed and laughed, forgetting all the unhappiness in their hearts for a while.

Suddenly, Ye Ruyun's phone rang, she looked at the number she called, and her brows suddenly furrowed.

"I'm sorry, I have to answer this call. ”

Liu Xinghao put down his chopsticks and sat there quietly. He could see that Ye Ruyun's face was instantly gloomy, as if he had a premonition that bad news would come from the other side of the phone.

"Hey, Ye Ruyun, your mother's condition has deteriorated again, you hurry up and come to the hospital!"

When Ye Ruyun heard this, her legs were a little weak at that time. She, the daughter, had done her best to provide her mother with the best medical conditions in Weiliang City. But what should have come is still coming, and my mother's body is like a candle in the wind, and there is a possibility that the oil will run out at any time......

"I'm sorry, I have to rush to the hospital first, and I can't send you back. Ye Ruyun stood up and said goodbye to Liu Xinghao with an apologetic face, and her face was already so frightened that there was no blood.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy with yours first, I'll just wait for a taxi to go." Liu Xinghao also stood up and watched Ye Ruyun leave like this.

In the blink of an eye, only Liu Xinghao was left alone in the boat box.

Most of the dishes on the table have not been touched, the fish is still the same fish, and the shrimp is still the same plate of shrimp, but I don't know what's wrong, Liu Xinghao picked it up again and tasted it in his mouth, and he always felt that it didn't have the wonderful taste when the two of them ate it together just now.

"Waiter, pay the bill!" Looking at this table full of tasteless dishes, Liu Xinghao couldn't raise any appetite anymore, so he just left.

The eldest sister of the waitress who was smiling just now came over and said with a smile: "Hello sir, a total of 1,680 yuan, I will wipe you off the change, 1,600 yuan is enough." ”

"How much? Liu Xinghao was also stunned when he heard the price, and thought that he had heard it wrong. He only ordered four dishes at this table, and he dared to ask for 1,608!? The owner of this shop is crazy!

"Sir, it's a total of 1,680 yuan, and I've erased the odds for you, and it's only 1,600 yuan. The waitress raised her voice and repeated it again, her face smiling throughout. At first, it seemed that she was full of enthusiasm. But now seeing the smile on her face, how can Liu Xinghao feel that she is looking at her own jokes?

After listening to it again and confirming that he had heard it correctly, Liu Xinghao couldn't help but feel a little angry. "You bring me the menu. ”

The waiter's eldest sister handed over the menu in a slippery manner, and the prices of the dishes on it were clearly written.

Steamed sea bass ———————— 78 yuan

Stir-fried sea melon seeds with chili peppers —————— 38 yuan

Stir-fried broccoli ——————— twenty-two dollars

Garlic prawns ———————— 1,520 yuan

Tea —————————— twenty dollars

Disposable cutlery ——————— two yuan

Liu Xinghao pointed to the price of garlic prawns on the menu and asked, "Excuse me, you have a garlic prawn for 1,520 yuan?"

"Sir, I don't know if you're blind or not, our store is clearly marked with a price, and you don't want to order it if it's too expensive. The waitress's eldest sister hugged her arms with her hands crossed, the smile on her face was gone, and she instantly changed to a contemptuous face.

Liu Xinghao slapped the table and stood up, his teeth creaking: "Call me your manager! Just now I clearly remember that the aquarium outside you wrote 38 yuan a pound of shrimp, how many pounds of garlic shrimp can you have on this plate?

"Sir, don't bother, I'm the manager of our store. I think your eyesight may not be very good, the price we have outside is not thirty-eight yuan a catty, but thirty-eight yuan a catty!" The waiter had completely revealed her ugly face at this time, and the reason why she didn't care about Liu Xinghao at all was because behind her, a heavy footstep gradually came over.

Liu Xinghao slapped the table just now, and the movement had already attracted the chef in the back hall of the hotel, this person was full of horizontal meat, triangular eyes, garlic nose, thick lips and thick neck, burly body, big waist and round waist, and he was also holding a large kitchen knife with a wide back and a thick blade in his hand, and the greasy taste of his body was really consistent with the temperament of this black shop.

The chef looked at Liu Xinghao coldly, and his thin appearance couldn't get into his eyes at all. He slapped the kitchen knife on the table in front of Liu Xinghao, and roared like a bell: "Boy, you have eaten all the food, and you still want to admit it?

Liu Xinghao saw that this situation was already obvious, today this is a black shop! I have always heard that there are such black shops in the coastal areas that specialize in slaughtering passing tourists, but I didn't expect that our small town of Weiliang is so advancing with the times, and there are also such black shops! Now that even the knife is showing, this is the rhythm of forcing oneself to obey?

"Little brother, I advise you not to ask for hardship, we do business for money, not for anger. Eldest sister, I will give you a golden and jade good saying--how can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves? Are you right?" The waiter, the eldest sister, pretended to be a good old man at this time, and the tone of her speech made people want to slap her face with a big mouth.

"Hahahaha, eldest sister, I was born with a hard neck, and I won't bow my head when I am born, you see, what should I do?" Liu Xinghao really couldn't suppress the chaotic anger in his heart, and he was still being brought to his door, I couldn't bear it!

"Then don't blame us for giving you a trick! I want to see how hard your neck is!" The eldest sister flashed out of the boat box, and the fat chef next to her immediately rushed over with a fierce look, and stretched out his hand to get the kitchen knife on the table!

Liu Xinghao was waiting for him to rush up, he grabbed the table with both hands and lifted it with force! The dishes and bowls on the table all flew up! I saw that the kitchen knife that was shining with cold light fell to the ground with a "clang"!
