Chapter 112 [Pride]
At noon, Zhou Fatzi, Wang Shishi and others had to drag Chen Tianlang to get together and go to a nearby hotel for a big meal. With the game hall at hand, all the big guys have confidence, and they are very nouveau riche rushing to say that they want to have a treat.
How could Chen Tianlang let these little brothers pay for it, saying that he had already booked a hotel, and he would just kill him later.
Chen Tianlang stayed here, and he also had to look at the store specifications of each game hall and check the approximate operating income of each month. I told the others to go to the hotel first to meet, and then have a big meal.
As a result, Meixi Street, which was still very lively, suddenly became deserted again, which made many merchants in the clothing business wonder what happened.
However, what was even more curious at this time was that Chen Tianlang set the duty manager of the hotel.
The name of this hotel is "Summer Garden", as the name suggests, the people who can eat and drink here are rich people, and only rich people can come here to eat and "spend summer" in such a hot weather, so when a large group of half-grown children, rolled up their trouser legs and shirtless, like a swarm of fish in the river, the hotel manager's first reaction was, are these people in the wrong place?
With this in mind, the manager on duty rushed to correct the mistakes of these people, telling them that noodle restaurants, food stalls, and street food stalls were just around the corner.
He was white and fat, but his skills were very athletic, so before these customers walked into the hotel lobby, the manager on duty had already hurried in front of the beautiful female greeter, accurately stopped this group of hairy children, and then squeezed out a very professional smile on his face, and said, "I'm sorry, little friend, are you in the wrong place?"
The hairy child at the head is nicknamed "shrimp", because he is too thin, he has always liked to bend over, collapse his back, and look like shrimp, at this moment he looked up and looked around, and then looked at the hotel signboard, and said: "That's right, isn't this the 'Summer Garden' hotel?"
The fat manager once again showed his professional smile and said, "It's true that it's 'Summer Garden', but it's ...... What are you doing here?" looked at these little kids who looked like they were looking for a place to jump into the river and take a bath, disheveled, and what kind of body they were.
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to eat!" Shrimp seemed to understand something, coughed, and wanted to spit on the ground with a mouthful of spittle, and look at the carved marble floor that people could see, so he endured it again and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
The fat manager tried his best to make a kind appearance, "Yes, yes, of course we are a place to eat here, but ...... Slightly more expensive. "Blink a little.
"How expensive, can't we afford it?" said Shrimp Rice.
"Hehe, at least forty or fifty yuan for a table, well, I'm talking about a medium private table. The fat manager was still smiling, but his eyes were meaningful.
After swallowing another mouthful of spit, the shrimp said in his heart, the dog said, this hotel is too black-hearted, and a meal is enough for half a month's salary for my father.
Squat down and stop talking.
The other teenagers didn't speak, they were used to it, and they didn't pay attention to any form of etiquette, so they learned to squat at the door of the hotel, and twenty or thirty people brushed down together.
Seeing that these people are no longer noisy, but squatting at the door and not leaving, the fat manager is a little unhappy, people, are all temperamental, although the fat manager's temper has already been ushered in, flattery and welcome are polished out, but rather pinch out a little temper, there are still some.
So he changed his face and said coldly: "What are you doing squatting here, don't leave yet!"
The dirty-faced shrimp rubbed the ashes on his chest while taking out a crumpled Baiheqiao cigarette from his pocket, this kind of cigarette costs two cents a box, which is very cheap, but for their moneyless teenagers, it is a very good cigarette to smoke.
"Don't you see, Lao Tzu is waiting for someone. Shrimp said very politely.
"Hey, you little rabbit cub, who do you call Lao Tzu?" The fat manager was just about to get angry, but the teenagers who were with Shrimp stood up and glared at him, looking like they were going to fight.
The fat manager immediately became soft, a good man doesn't fight with hairy children, and he can't show his ability even if he wins, and he is said that adults bully children.
"Okay, you can wait if you want, but don't block the door, we still have business. ”
Only then did Shrimp wave his hand and let the people who were blocking the door move their butts.
At this moment, Qi Dabing rushed over, and when he saw that the group of people squatting on the ground without entering the hotel, he said strangely: "What are you doing, squatting here to lay eggs?"
"What kind of eggs are laid, people won't let them in. Shrimp said aggrievedly.
"Grass his grandmother, which one won't let him in?"
"No, it's that fat man. Shrimp pointed to the fat manager who was checking the hotel's ground hygiene with his back to them.
Qi Dabing walked over and kicked the fat manager's ass, "Grass you Ma!"
The fat manager threw himself on the ground with a, so frightened that the waitress next to him covered her mouth and almost screamed.
Fortunately, this fat manager had thick flesh on his body, and turned his head to look at Qi Dabing in pain and asked, "Who are you, why are you kicking me?"
"Who? Lao Tzu is a guest here, we have booked a private table, why don't you let us in?" Qi Dabing had a hot temper, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, if Chen Tianlang hadn't told him in advance to make less trouble, he would have started to teach this dead fat man a lesson.
"You, you said you booked a table, who would invite you children to dinner?" said the fat manager angrily.
The voice did not fall---
"I'm sorry, I ordered the table, and I was the one who invited the guests!"
Chen Tianlang had a cold face and walked over leisurely.
The fat manager was a little dumbfounded, but when Chen Tianlang took out the deposit slip to show him, the fat manager called him unlucky.
It turned out that he was not on duty yesterday, and he didn't know anything about Chen Tianlang's booking of the table, but the arrangement made by another manager on duty. The manager and the fat manager are not at odds, and the two have been competing for the top position in the hotel, playing tricks on each other and digging holes for each other to jump. This time the fat manager jumped into the pit.
However, the fat manager's belief is that "he can bend and stretch his husband", and after understanding what happened, he immediately accompanied him with a smile and admitted his mistakes. began to treat these furry children as gods.
Chen Tianlang didn't plan to embarrass this kind of guy who looked down on people, besides, looking at the dress of his group of children, it was really a bit ...... Well, what's the matter. I beckoned everyone to put on their clothes neatly, put on their shirts, pull off their trouser legs, and put their shoes on.
……
Five tables, twenty or thirty people.
The table is full of delicious dishes, four cold and eight hot, as well as one sweet, one salty and two nests of soup, the standard of meal fees, forty-eight for one table.
Looking at the beautifully made dishes on the table, which can be called works of art, the big guys didn't dare to move the chopsticks at first, and they were embarrassed to move the chopsticks.
It wasn't until Chen Tianlang took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and said: "Since you eat, don't be restrained, eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, eat your stomach is your own, and your hungry stomach is also your own!"
Seeing him so refreshing, the big guy's appetite was completely aroused, and he didn't need Chen Tianlang to greet him again, he was already flying with chopsticks, gobbling up these delicious things.
Beer, bottle by bottle.
The foam is flying, and the glass is not pleasant, so ask the waiter to bring a large bowl and drink beer.
What's more, he had long forgotten Chen Tianlang's advice, and directly turned this high-end place into a food stall, opened his arms, stepped on the chair with one foot, and guessed loudly, unscrupulous and earth-shattering.
The fat manager is going crazy, and there are already many VIP customers who complain that it is too noisy and the grade is too low. So he could only beg those shirtless little guys with a bitter face, put on their clothes, pay attention to their image, beg them to lower their voices, not to make loud fists, and begged them not to step on the stool like a "mountain carving".
But no one listened to him.
In the eyes of everyone, only Boss Chen's words are Jinke's decree, and the rest are not listened to.
……
Chen Tianlang eats quickly and drinks faster.
The big guys all toasted him enthusiastically.
One glass, another glass.
Chen Tianlang shook his head, and he didn't know how many beers he had drunk, but there were already a lot of empty wine bottles under his feet.
He felt his head a little dizzy, and then saw Qi Dabing's guy walking towards him with a wine glass.
Chen Tianlang told himself that he couldn't drink anymore, and he had drunk enough today. But Qi Dabing's words made him can't help but drink.
Qi Dabing was obviously a little drunk, bit his tongue and said, "Brother Lang, you must drink this glass of wine." Don't say no just yet, listen to what I have to say. ”
"To be honest, I've never admired anyone when I'm so old, you're the first! You didn't look down on us, and you treated us as real brothers, which we all know in our hearts. In the past, we would only do what we could in school, but we couldn't get into college, so we could only mix in society. Without you, I guess we would have to be the least popular gangsters!"
"My mother said that if I get into sociology badly, I will break one of my legs, I am afraid, not afraid of my mother, but afraid that I will be cornered and can only be a bad person. But now you'...... Brother Long, let me call you a few more times, brother, it was you who reached out to help us. ”
"Don't underestimate this game hall, if you are willing to trust us and let us take care of it, it is equivalent to giving us a serious job to make a living. We are all so old, we are no longer hairy children who reach out and ask for money from the family, we are also adults who can support our families!" Qi Dabing's face showed a touch of passion.
"As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early. In the future, we bear children will only look at you, you let us go east, we will never ......go west," Qi Dabing's eyes flashed with tears. "Now I toast you, not for anything else, but for you to help us, to promote us, let us know that we are also valuable and can make money!" Qi Dabing's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
How could Chen Tianlang refuse such wine?
He took the glass and held it high---
Cheers to love,
Cheers to growth,
Cheers to ourselves!
Drink it all.
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, full of pride.
……
Chen Tianlang was a little drunk, but fortunately he knew the way home, not to mention that there was that kind of van in front of the hotel, and it was very convenient to take a taxi back.
When the taxi sent him to the alley near his home, Chen Tianlang paid to get out of the car, he didn't want to go back full of alcohol, so it was strange not to be beaten to death by his mother.
In the past, when my father Chen Jiefang had not passed away, there would still be some wine at home, but now let alone wine, there is not even anything related to wine, such as wine glasses or something, which was put away by my mother.
Chen Tianlang knew his mother's temper, so he decided to go into Uncle Zhang's house to sober up first.
The last time Uncle Zhang practiced qigong on the roof of the bungalow and suffered from heat stroke, after being carried down by Chen Tianlang and rescued, he felt that Chen Tianlang deliberately interrupted his practice and cut off his qigong path.
He refused to admit that he was suffering from heat stroke, and he had to say that he had gone wrong in his qi practice.
Practicing divine skills is all about hardship, look at the TV, how many people have gone crazy in practice, Ouyang Feng, who is the western poison, and Mei Chaofeng who has practiced Jiuyin and White Bone Claws, these are all predecessors who have gone mad. I almost carried it over, but I was carried off the roof by Chen Xiaozi and broke my aura.
He complained that Chen Tianlang was doing bad things with good intentions, so when he saw Chen Tianlang coming in full of alcohol, he took a broom and angrily wanted to drive him out.
Chen Tianlang ignored him, went straight to the pressurized water well and washed his face with cold water, and then took off his clothes and fanned the wine all over his body.
Uncle Zhang carried a broom and nagged him: "Look at you, drunk, what do you look like?" You know no, there are guests in your house today, and your sister brought her boyfriend back, so why don't you go back quickly to see, what are you still rubbing around with me?" ”
"Damn, old man, why didn't you say it earlier!" Chen Tianlang hurriedly got dressed and left.
Uncle Zhang rolled his eyes behind him, "Rabbit cub, can you speak human language, if I don't tell you, your feelings will still depend on here." Kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
