Chapter 160: Playing Big Again
Night falls. Once again, the sky and sea were shrouded in the thick of night. Tao Yiran's father rushed to Tianhai University when it was dark. and met Tao Yiran and Xiao Yiyun.
Then. Tao Yiran's father was the east. Banquet Xiao Yiyun. Xiao Yiyun didn't really want to go. After all. Tao Yiran and her father haven't seen each other for a long time. Separate space should be left for their father and daughter. But Tao Yiran's father said that he didn't agree to anything. Xiao Yiyun must be entertained.
Tao Yiran smiled and said that she had already told her father everything. This made Xiao Yiyun relieved.
This time, the dinner was set at the Tianhai century-old restaurant ---- the Imperial Banquet Restaurant. The Imperial Banquet Restaurant is just a pure restaurant. It is not mixed with other business items. The store is not very large. It's only four floors. On the first floor is the hall, with quite a few dining tables outside. Suitable for up to four people. And as for the upstairs. It's all private rooms.
Reputedly. Yuyan Restaurant is a century-old restaurant. It was opened by a royal chef of the imperial court at that time. It has been passed down to this day. As for whether it is true or false, no one has taken it seriously. But according to the genealogy shown by the owner and chef of the Imperial Banquet Restaurant. It's more likely to be true.
But. It has to be said. Meals at the Imperial Banquet Restaurant. The taste is called a must. Even a home-cooked side dish. Here you can also taste unique flavors.
Of course. Since it is a century-old brand. I want to book a private room here to eat. Last-minute table reservations are basically a no-brainer. Generally speaking. Book a table a few days in advance. It may not be possible to order it.
Tao Yiran's father came to Tianhai this time in two cars. One is the Grand Passat. That is, the legendary low-key excessive Phaeton. The other is a Volkswagen van. A group of eight people. Except for the driver. The other six don't look like good stubble.
All six of them were in black suits. Dress up in a white shirt. Always stand by Tao Yiran's father's side. Even when Tao Yiran's father was in Tao Yiran's office with Tao Yiran and Xiao Yiyun. They also left two people inside. The other four were waiting outside.
Xiao Yiyun saw it sharp-eyed. All six of them had a headset in their ears that could only be seen on television. Connected by a thin white wire that twists and turns. This thin white thread is inside their clothes.
This is not difficult for Xiao Yiyun to judge. These six people are bodyguards. And what made Xiao Yiyun curious was that there was a woman among the six people. This woman always stood behind Tao Yiran's father. It is worth mentioning. Although the woman is also wearing a black suit. Wear a white shirt. But if she was standing alone. And not standing with those five bodyguards. No one would associate her with a bodyguard. And more inclined to this is a white-collar beauty.
Two cars in a row. Soon it stopped outside the Imperial Banquet Restaurant. Tao Yiran's father got out of the car and took Tao Yiran and Xiao Yiyun into the hall. Walked straight to the front desk. Reported his name. The front desk immediately arranged for a waiter to lead them upstairs to the private room.
Xiao Yiyun couldn't help but gasp in his heart. Tao Yiran's father had just arrived. I actually booked a private room at the Imperial Banquet Restaurant.
seemed to see Xiao Yiyun's doubts. Tao Yiran's father smiled. Explained softly, "I called here before I came. Booked a private room. I have a little friendship with the owner here. He's just selling me face. ”
Hearing Tao Yiran's father's words. Xiao Yiyun's awe of him in his heart once again climbed a new level.
After entering the private room. Tao Yiran's father ordered a lot of dishes well. But. Look at the dishes he ordered. It's basically some home-cooked food. After ordering. Tao Yiran's father said to Xiao Yiyun: "The simpler the dish. The less likely it is to make delicious. ”
"Understood. Xiao Yiyun nodded and said.
Tao Yiran's father beckoned the six bodyguards to sit down. said: "There is Xiao Li watching the car outside. There shouldn't be a problem. ”
Even so. There were still two bodyguards who didn't take their seats. They went straight downstairs to wait in the car outside. And I bought some fast food nearby to eat with the driver waiting outside.
"Drink something. Tao Yiran's father asked Xiao Yiyun with a smile.
Xiao Yiyun shook his head. said, "Uncle." I'm still a student. Forget about the wine. ”
"Hahahaha. "It's like hearing the funniest joke in the world. Tao Yiran's father burst out laughing. It took a long time to stop laughing. Pointing at Xiao Yiyun and said, "You are a big brother of the gang." I don't even drink. What kind of student identity is it? It's you, I'm you. It's been a long time since I stopped going to school. are all on this path. Is it still that important to study? ”
Hearing Tao Yiran's father's words. The remaining four bodyguards glanced at each other. They all set their eyes on Xiao Yiyun. They only know now. This ** silk young man in front of him. It turned out to be a gang big brother.
But. How to look. Xiao Yiyun doesn't look like a gang brother.
Xiao Yiyun smiled. said, "Uncle." I'm the big brother of the gang. It's really not your own strength to spell it up. Tao Yiran knew this. You'll find out when she tells you about it. ”
"Yiran has already told me. Tao Yiran's father smiled and said, "But." Tao Zhengkun has lived most of his life. A truth is summed up. Do you want to hear it? ”
"Listen up. Xiao Yiyun said respectfully.
Tao Zhengkun nodded. said: "It's all fate. Why didn't anyone else do something like you? Become a gang big brother in one fell swoop. ”
"There seems to be some truth. Xiao Yiyun thought for a moment. Said with a smile.
It was at this time. The waiter knocked on the door and came in. Start serving. Tao Zhengkun said to the waiter: "Tell your boss." I don't blame him for not daring to see me. But. Let him not hide his secrets. Serve me the good wine he brewed himself. Otherwise. Our friend didn't do it. ”
The waiter was dumbfounded. She didn't know that her boss could make wine. I've never heard of a customer asking for the boss's wine.
"Just pass on my words to your boss. Tao Zhengkun waved his hand and said.
After the waiter exited. Immediately ran to the manager. She didn't know what to do.
"Uncle. You said the boss here didn't dare to see you. What does that mean. Is he scared of you? Xiao Yiyun asked curiously.
Tao Zhengkun shook his head slightly. sighed. said: "It's not that he doesn't dare to see me. Instead, they were embarrassed to see me. I was friends with him. My son died in the sea of heaven. He couldn't help me much. So. He felt guilty. He's a serious businessman like me. Although many officials will come to him for dinner. But he doesn't deal with these crooked ways. I can't talk to these officials. So. When I came to Tenkai to find out the true cause of my son's death. He couldn't help with anything. ”
Xiao Yiyun nodded silently. So that's what happened. But. Having said that. A life. To have such a friend. It's also a thing to be thankful for.
It didn't take long. The waiter who went and returned brought a jar of wine. Bring a wooden wine scoop. Antique little jar. The top seal is made of yellow clay.
Tao Zhengkun moved swiftly to open the mud seal. Suddenly. The private room is full of the smell of sake.
"It's rice wine. Tao Zhengkun explained with a smile: "That's why I asked him directly for an altar." "Talking. Tao Zhengkun picked up the wine and scooped it. Reach into the jar. Scoop some rice wine out. Pour in a bowl. handed it to Xiao Yiyun.
The golden colour of the wine has a viscous texture. It's a good thing at first sight.
"Taste it. Tao Zhengkun had an encouraging smile on his face.
Tao Yiran, who had never spoken, said with some dissatisfaction at this time: "Dad." He said he wouldn't drink anymore. You also encourage him to drink. ”
"Huh. This wine is rare. You can try it. Xiao Yiyun smiled. He raised his head and drank the rice wine from the wine glass. Smash it, smash it, smash it. Thumbs up. said: "Although I don't know much about alcohol. But it's really delicious. It's not like anything I've ever drunk. I can't describe it. ”
"It's slippery on the palate. Drink it with a sweetness. The aftertaste is endless. Tao Zhengkun said: "It's a pity. Even he doesn't brew much. Otherwise, I could have asked for a few altars for you. ”
Xiao Yiyun hurriedly waved his hand again and again. said, "It's good to be able to taste it." You can see it. If this wine is on the market. I'm afraid it's hard to find. It's too precious. I can't afford it. ”
"Bearable. Tao Zhengkun had a serious look on his face. Said: "As long as you want it." I can get it. It seems to me. You can afford it. ”
There was a pause. Tao Zhengkun said again: "Let's not be busy talking nonsense. Eat first. ”
Tao Zhengkun did not move the chopsticks. The few bodyguards accompanying him below also did not move their chopsticks. Waiting for Tao Zhengkun and Xiao Yiyun to make another bowl of rice wine. After moving the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. A few bodyguards just started eating.
From meeting to the present. Tao Zhengkun has never gone to the main topic. He came to Tianhai this time. For the real cause of Tao Xi's death that year. This is naturally the theme of Tao Zhengkun's coming.
Xiao Yiyun stopped his chopsticks halfway through eating. said, "Uncle." What are you here for? I'm well aware. I don't know what your plans are. ”
Tao Zhengkun smiled. said: "Why is the young man so unbreathable. I was able to hold my breath. Instead, you asked this first. ”
Xiao Yiyun smiled helplessly. "Sooner or later, we'll have to talk about it." It's just that. It's a bit too heavy. ”
Hearing Xiao Yiyun's words. Tao Yiran's face was gloomy. Tao Zhengkun's expression remained unchanged. Still smiling. But inside those weathered eyes. But there was an indelible killing machine. It was a murderous intent with a strong hatred. If you don't look closely. I can't see it at all.
See this scene. Xiao Yiyun silently talked in his heart. I had a premonition in my heart. This time it seems like it's going to be big again.
