Liu Tao smiled bitterly: "Actually, there were more brothers under me in the past, but after I went to prison, most of my brothers were scattered, and the remaining brothers were the most loyal to me, and they have been supporting my industry for me since I entered prison, just so that one day I can get out of prison and lead them again." ”

Liu Tao couldn't help but feel a little sad about the topic, so he shook his head, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, come Brother Zhang, come in and sit down, I have prepared good wine and food to entertain you!"

"Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!" Zhang Yang nodded, smiled and walked into the hotel with Liu Tao.

After all the staff sat down in the banquet hall, Liu Tao clapped his hands: "Serve!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen graceful waitresses pushed the door in with large and small plates, and presented exquisite dishes to the table.

After the dishes were served, Liu Tao got up and raised his glass to the brothers present and shouted: "Brothers, let us toast Zhang Yang brothers!"

As soon as the words fell, more than 100 people immediately put down the chopsticks in their hands, raised their wine glasses, and looked at Zhang Yang respectfully.

Zhang Yang immediately raised a glass to respond to everyone's enthusiasm, drank all the wine in the cup, and then everyone sat down and enjoyed the dishes on the table.

"Brother Zhang is really massive, he doesn't blush at all after drinking so much!" Seeing that Zhang Yang's amount of wine was so good, Liu Tao sincerely expressed his admiration.

Zhang Yang laughed: "It's not me who blows, it's just such a liquor, I drank a bottle without panting!"

With that, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After a few glasses of wine and a while of greetings, Liu Tao suddenly asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't know what kind of work you are doing now after you are released from prison, can you support your family?"

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, and said casually: "I am now working as a salesman in a funeral company, I have no relatives and no wife, the original house was destroyed by fire, and now I am temporarily living at a friend's house, and my life is still in the past." ”

Liu Tao nodded, leaned over to Zhang Yang, and asked: "Brother Zhang is an outstanding talent, it is really condescending to be a salesman in a funeral company, I still have a few bars on hand now, although the business is not as good as before, but I can still live, if Brother Zhang doesn't mind, I want to invite you to join the gang, we have wine to drink together, and meat to eat together, what do you think?"

Zhang Yang could see that Liu Tao really appreciated himself and wanted to invite himself to join the gang.

If it is placed in the past, Zhang Yang must have agreed to this beautiful thing without hesitation, but he was helplessly haunted by the unlucky system, and he would be eaten by good luck as soon as he made a good fortune, although the threat of backlash was reduced to a certain extent after the system was upgraded, but the consequences caused by backlash Zhang Yang still did not dare to underestimate it.

"Thank you, Brother Tao. Zhang Yang shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "But because of some special reasons, I still have to continue to work in my company......

"They forced you to sign the overlord clause?" Liu Tao stood up suddenly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Zhang Yang hurriedly pulled Liu Tao to sit down, and said with a smile: "There's no such thing, they are very good to me, just because ...... Forget it, Brother Tao, I'll be honest with you, in fact, I'm a broom star. ”

"Huh?" The people at the table were a little confused by Zhang Yang's headless words.

"Brother Zhang, if you mean that you are afraid that you will endanger the brothers, then you are too worried, we all rely on our own ability to eat, so we don't believe in the destiny of heaven......

"Brother Tao, you misunderstood. Zhang Yang interrupted Liu Tao's words and shook his head helplessly: "I am really a broom star, or I am a man who is destined to become a broom star, for this reason, I can't make good luck, otherwise I will be eaten by good luck and be haunted by bad luck, then it's not good." ”

Seeing that Liu Tao and the others still didn't understand, Zhang Yangyou continued to explain: "Brother Tao, you invited me to join the gang and do business with you, this is a great luck for me, it is precisely because of this that I can't accept your kindness, otherwise I will be unlucky!"

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded curtly: "Okay...... Everyone has their own ambitions, if Brother Zhang is unwilling, I will not force you, but if you change your mind when, I, Liu Tao, welcome you at any time!"

Obviously, Liu Tao didn't believe Zhang Yang's words, and just used his explanation as an excuse for refusal, but fortunately, Liu Tao is not the kind of person who is difficult to be a strong man, since Zhang Yang doesn't want to join the gang, he doesn't force it.

Subsequently, Zhang Yang and Liu Tao and their entourage began to talk and laugh again, and half of the wine and food on the table were quickly wiped out.

was eating happily when Liu Tao's phone rang suddenly.

"Brother Zhang, wait for me, I'll answer the phone first. Liu Tao smiled, put down the wine glass in his hand, and connected the phone.

"Hey, didn't you say I have something important to do tonight, and I'll talk about something in the bar tomorrow? ”

Zhang Yang didn't know what Liu Tao said on the other end of the phone, but Liu Tao's face became more and more ugly.

"What you said is true?" Okay, I'll go back ...... right away" After that, Liu Tao hung up the phone with a solemn face.

"Brother Tao, is something happening?" Zhang Yang saw that Liu Tao's face was wrong, and felt that something bad must have happened.

"I'm sorry Brother Zhang. Liu Tao bowed his head to Zhang Yang with a guilty face: "Something happened in the bar, I have to take the brothers back first, and I can only entertain Brother Zhang another day." ”

Zhang Yang put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Did someone make trouble in your bar?"

Liu Tao sighed lightly and said: "In the past, with many brothers under his command and good management, the business of the bar has always been very good, but since I was imprisoned, the business of the bar has plummeted, and now that I am back, my competitors see that my current strength is not as good as before, so they want to take advantage of the current situation to completely beat me down and not give me a chance to reflex." ”

"That's right. Zhang Yang nodded lightly, got up and stretched, and said: "Doing business is such a thing, whoever is in line with the consumer's wishes, the consumer will buy whomever the order, and they want to suppress you by making trouble, then it is really inauthentic." ”

"Yes, in the past, when I had enough manpower, how dare they make trouble in my territory, I have always run my own business in peace, and I never wanted to encroach on anyone and suppress anyone, but I didn't expect them to turn around and want to mess with me now!" Liu Tao secretly clenched his fists, very angry in his heart.
