Chapter 350: Meng Chaoyang's Hobbies
"What?!" Zhao Dong was the first to shout loudly: "Didn't you say that there was a vacancy when I set it in the morning, why didn't there be a seat when I arrived at night?" You're playing with your uncle, aren't you? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu made a phone call and asked people to seal the store for you?! ”
"I'm so sorry." The foreman kept greeting Zhao Dong: "This is indeed a mistake in our work, the staff who accepted the appointment at that time did not know that the plum blossom hall in Langdao had been booked, and the store would be responsible for compensating you for all losses." ”
The third child also expressed dissatisfaction next to him: "Compensate for all losses? Do you know who we are inviting today? Can you afford this loss? ”
These people are usually pressed by their own parents in the capital, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous. When I left the capital today, I was as free as a bird flying out of a cage. In addition, this matter is indeed occupied by Zhao Dong and others, so they naturally make more trouble.
Looking at Zhao Dong and the others who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly at Lei Qianlong: "It seems that the two of us are together and the box is in harmony, why do we encounter this kind of thing every time?" ”
Lei Qianlong was also a little embarrassed by Xiao Ping's words, and said fiercely with a straight face: "Brother Xiao, wait, you have to let this store let the plum blossom hall go out today, otherwise they don't want to do this business anymore!" ”
Xiao Ping saw that the foreman was already sweating profusely, and even the manager of the hotel rushed out to ask Zhao Dong and the others softly, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly and said, "Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, just find a table." Anyway, we're here to do something, and if we really want to play, who would come to such a small place? ”
Since Xiao Ping said so, Lei Qianlong no longer insisted, called the hotel manager to scold him, and then conveyed Xiao Ping's meaning to him. The hotel manager was naturally overjoyed. thanked Lei Qianlong and the others again and again. However, every box in the hotel was empty, and the hotel manager could only arrange everyone at a table in a relatively remote position in the hall.
A gentleman like Thunder Dragon. Eating in a restaurant is generally a private room, and there is rarely the experience of eating in the lobby. Although everyone didn't make any more trouble because of Xiao Ping's speech, they were a little unhappy in their hearts, and the atmosphere was a little dull. The waiter had obviously been instructed by the manager, and even the menu was delivered with trepidation, for fear of angering the customers who seemed to have a good background.
Lei Qianlong's gang is very tricky. What haven't you ever eaten? At the moment, everyone didn't have the intention of eating a big meal, so the third child just ordered a few dishes casually. As soon as the waiter left cautiously, Meng Chaoyang called Lei Qianlong again and told him that he had arrived. Ask Lei Qianlong which hall he is eating in, and he will just come in by himself.
Lei Qianlong was embarrassed to say that he was in the lobby on the phone, and only said that he would personally greet Uncle Meng. Meng Chaoyang did not doubt him. I agreed directly. It wasn't until he was brought to the table by the Thunder Hidden Dragon that he asked with some surprise: "Xiaolong, you have changed your sex." Actually eating out? ”
"Ahem, it's all to blame for this shop." Lei Qianlong said embarrassedly: "If it weren't for Brother Xiao's words, forget it." A few of us can't rest on our laurels! ”
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the table, and everyone else, including Xiao Ping, got up to greet Meng Chaoyang. Lei Qianlong was introduced to everyone by the side, and the group, led by Xiao Ping, greeted Meng Chaoyang in turn. Don't look at these people, they are usually some flying people, but after all, they are all people with some background in the family, and they are all well-behaved in front of the elders, and they can't see their usual arrogance at all.
Meng Chaoyang greeted everyone with a smile. At the same time, I was secretly surprised. I didn't expect that in addition to Lei Qianlong, there were so many Yannei on this table. However, Meng Chaoyang definitely couldn't see through Xiao Ping, a young man. He is obviously not a famous family, but Lei Qianlong and the others have great respect for Xiao Ping. So many Yanai rushed to this small Wenxing City, just to help Xiao Ping get ahead, which is really a bit unexpected.
However, when it comes to an official at the level of Meng Chaoyang, even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he will not show it. Don't look at Meng Chaoyang, he was already puzzled in his heart, but on the surface, he was still smiling very calmly.
After getting to know each other, Lei Qianlong beckoned everyone to sit down. Meng Chaoyang is regarded as today's guest of honor, and he is everyone's elder, so he naturally sat in the main seat. Next to him was Lei Qianlong, on the other side sat Xiao Ping, next to Xiao Ping was Hu Mei, and the others sat down next to Lei Qianlong. Don't look at these gentlemen who usually don't pay so much attention to when they play, but on such a formal occasion, the seating is absolutely careless.
The dishes were quickly served, and the hotel manager specially sent two dishes in order to apologize. However, everyone's minds were not on eating and drinking, and Meng Chaoyang quickly asked Xiao Ping about the specific situation.
Xiao Ping quickly told what happened, and of course hid the fact that Hu Mei used charm to trick Gao Hongwei into signing a contract and being a member of the National Security Bureau.
However, this did not prevent Meng Chaoyang from understanding the basic facts, after listening to Xiao Ping finish telling the ins and outs of the matter, he muttered for a while and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, what do you think about this matter, what are your requirements?" ”
"I just want the lease contract to continue to be fulfilled." Xiao Ping said with a smile: "Of course, I also hope that after my vegetable base is completed, I will not be subjected to any difficulties." ”
Hearing that Xiao Ping's request was so low, Meng Chaoyang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the young Xiao Ping would not know the height of the sky, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he would investigate Mayor Jiang's father and son and Gao Hongwei by himself. Although Meng Chaoyang can't do it, that kind of thing involves too much, and it is always a trouble for him.
And Xiao Ping's requirements were much lower than Meng Chaoyang imagined, which also gave him a little more affection for such a young man who knew how to advance and retreat, and immediately laughed: "If that's the case, there shouldn't be any problem." When I had dinner, I called Vice Mayor Jiang and reminded him to restrain the behavior of his family. Although we don't know each other very well, he always has to give this face. ”
Meng Chaoyang's words are indeed right, although he has never met Mayor Jiang at all, but after all, he is an official of the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. As long as he made a phone call to knock Mayor Jiang, he immediately regarded his son firmly and never dared to let him go against Xiao Ping.
The fact that the matter of leasing land could be solved so easily also made Xiao Ping very happy. He casually took a delicate box from Hu Mei's hand, and said to Meng Chaoyang with a smile: "Uncle Meng, I heard Xiaolong say that you love tea, this is the tea grown by our farm, and there is absolutely nothing on the market, you can taste it." ”
Meng Chaoyang would never accept Xiao Ping's gift, but he was a tea lover, and he heard Xiao Ping say that it was tea from his farm, so he changed his mind and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
Meng Chaoyang opened the box as he spoke, he just glanced inside, then gently sniffed the aroma of the tea leaves, and then immediately changed his face, and hurriedly beckoned the waiter: "Take a glass and send another pot of boiling water!" ”
The waiter quickly delivered what Meng Chaoyang wanted, and he carefully used clean chopsticks to pull out some tea leaves from the box and put them in the glass, and then rushed into the boiling water.
Watching the green leaf buds churning in the water, Meng Chaoyang's gaze became gentle. He didn't have the patience to wait for the water to get cooler, so he immediately picked up the cup and took a deep breath, and then he couldn't wait to taste it.
"Shhh...... What a tea! Meng Chaoyang had an intoxicated expression on his face, and only after taking another sip did he exclaim loudly: "It's really good tea, it's a little more fragrant than the best Longjing, Xiao Xiao, I can't accept such a valuable gift." ”
Lei Qianlong was secretly taken aback when he heard Meng Chaoyang's words. Lei Qianlong was very aware of Meng Chaoyang's attainments in the tea ceremony, and believed that he would never look away. Although Lei Qianlong himself doesn't like to drink tea, he also knows how precious the best Longjing is, and Xiao Ping casually took out the tea that is claimed to be better than the best Longjing, which made Lei Qianlong surprised and secretly made his own little abacus.
Xiao Ping was not surprised by Meng Chaoyang's praise, this batch of tea was the second batch of tea produced by the imperial tea tree in the demon refining pot. The environment inside the demon refining pot is excellent, and every few months the tea trees will sprout a batch of new shoots that can be used to make tea. Although the first batch of tea was also sold for millions, Xiao Ping was no longer as short of money as before, so he did not sell all these teas, but planned to keep them for others.
These teas look unobtrusive, but the grade is definitely not low, and if you give it to the right person, the effect is much better than sending other things. Xiao Ping also heard Lei Qianlong inadvertently mention that Meng Chaoyang is a tea lover, so he gave him this special gift.
Seeing that Meng Chaoyang refused to accept these teas, Xiao Ping also smiled and said: "Uncle Meng, these teas are really produced by my farm, and they are really not worth much money to me, because I fried them myself, so they represent more of my heart, if you don't dislike it, accept it." ”
Since Xiao Ping said so, it would be a little unkind for Meng Chaoyang to refuse again. And he liked this tea, so he quickly nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome, thank you, Xiao Xiao!" ”
Meng Chaoyang, who accepted the tea leaves, was intoxicated with the freshly brewed tea, and he didn't even have the heart to eat it. Lei Qianlong quietly came to Xiao Ping's side and asked him in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, do you still have that good tea?" If it's convenient...... Sell me a little! ”
"Phew!" Xiao Ping scoffed at Lei Qianlong's request, smiled at him and said, "We still have to talk about money between us?" I'll bring a box this time, and next time you come to my farm, it's no problem to get half a pound and take it back! ”
Lei Qianlong was overjoyed and said: "Brother Xie Lu Xie Xiao, you are really my own brother, now I have to show my face greatly, hehe!" ”
Just as Lei Qianlong chuckled obscenely, several guests walked into the hotel and walked through the hall towards the elevator under the guidance of the welcome lady. Xiao Ping's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that there was an acquaintance among these guests, this guy was none other than Gao Hongwei, the mayor of Qinglong Town, who signed the contract and regretted it!
