Chapter 149: Going to the Banquet
By the time they arrived at the food court, Zhang Zhiwei was already waiting for them at the door. Seeing Liu Tao and others getting out of the car, he hurried to meet him.
"Uncle Zhang, is it just you?" Liu Tao looked behind him, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. According to his inference, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Zhiwei to be the only one who comes, if it is just like this, he can go to Zhang Liang's house for dinner.
"It's not." Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said, "There are still a few old friends waiting inside." Come with me. ”
When Liu Tao heard this, he said in his heart that he expected it to be good. But since I've come here, I can't just leave, so I just go in and see who they are.
When they arrived at the private room inside, Zhang Zhiwei opened the door, and Liu Tao and Zhang Liang entered in turn.
At this time, Liu Tao had already seen clearly that the people sitting inside were basically not strangers. Especially Zhan Wentao, he has seen the other party more than once, so naturally he has an impression and knows the identity of the other party.
"Brother Liu is here. Quick, please be seated. Zhan Wentao hurriedly got up and greeted. Today they specially asked Zhang Zhiwei to come forward to invite Liu Tao to come here for a meal, they were ready to be rejected, but they didn't expect Liu Tao to agree, this result made them feel overjoyed, so everyone present now has a smile on their faces.
Don't look at Liu Tao as a junior in high school, there are not many people present. He knew that the main reason why these people invited him here was because he had been accepted as an apprentice by Lin Lao. This status will indeed bring him quite a lot of convenience.
It was because of this that he sat down happily.
At this time, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Liang also sat down.
"Now that Brother Liu has arrived, let them start serving." Zhan Wentao said to Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded and walked out.
"Brother Liu, what kind of wine are you drinking? White or red wine? Or beer? Zhan Wentao then asked.
"Bring me a beer." Liu Tao thought for a moment and said. This time the meeting was different from usual, and he had to be on high alert. After all, the people sitting in front of him are all businessmen, and if one of them accidentally falls into the trap of the other party, he doesn't want to agree to anything to the other party in a daze.
"Okay!" Zhan Wentao personally ran to the wine cabinet next to him and took out a bottle of beer that had been chilled. Then open it. poured a cup for Liu Tao.
Zhang Liang watched from the side, and he was quite jealous in his heart. Anyway, they all came together, he is still Zhang Zhiwei's son, but in Zhan Wentao's eyes, it seems to have become air. Of course. The reason why Zhan Wentao has this attitude is also clear in his heart and can understand it. After all, Liu Tao is now Lin Lao's apprentice and deserves to be treated like this. Besides, Liu Tao is his boss. The more respected the boss is, the better his future as a younger brother will definitely be.
At this time, Zhang Zhiwei walked back from outside, he had already arranged everything, and the waiter immediately began to serve the food.
"Brother Liu, before the official meal, let me introduce you first." Zhan Wentao stood up as he spoke.
"This is Song Siming Song Boss of the Treasure Pavilion." Zhan Wentao pointed to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and was dressed in satin clothes sitting next to him.
"Hello Boss Song." Liu Tao said hello very interestingly.
Seeing this, Song Siming also quickly stood up and saluted back, saying, "Brother Liu was accepted as an apprentice by Lin Lao at such a young age. The future is certainly promising. It's a privilege to sit down with you for dinner. ”
"Boss Song has won the prize. I gamble on stones by luck, unlike you, by eyesight and experience. Thanks to Lin Lao's refusal to give up, he accepted me as an apprentice, and I can formally learn some antique knowledge in the future. As for achievements, this still depends on the individual. Isn't the old saying good, the master leads the way into the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. Liu Tao smiled and said.
"I didn't expect Brother Liu to be so modest at a young age. That's it. I'm very optimistic about you. Song Siming followed up and said.
"Brother Liu, come, let's continue to introduce. This is Yu Qian Yu of Linglong Jewelry. Mr. Yu has opened three jewelry stores in Binjiang and two in other places. Speaking of which, it is the first in our Binjiang local jewelry industry. Zhan Wentao continued.
"Mr. Yu, hello." Liu Tao greeted the other party very politely.
"Where, where. A small business is not enough to worry about. Yu Qian stood up as he spoke.
"Mr. Yu, look at what you said. If yours are all small businesses, what are we? Could it be that it can't even be considered a business? Song Siming asked with some unhappiness beside him. The two of them have never dealt with each other very well, and quarrels are a common thing. Except for Liu Tao and Zhang Liang, everyone else here is used to this kind of scene.
"Old Song, I said you didn't raise the bar." Yu Qian's face had a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Brother Liu is still here. If you two want to quarrel for a while, we'll argue when it's over. Zhan Wentao stood up and played a round.
The two stopped talking.
"This is Lin Weilin, the general manager of Cuihua Jewelry Co., Ltd." Zhan Wentao continued.
Liu Tao followed and said hello.
"Brother Liu, you have become Lin Lao's apprentice this time, I believe that your attainments will definitely be improved rapidly. If there is good jadeite and other jade, I am willing to pay a lot of money for it. You can call me directly when the time comes. Lin Wei said as he handed his business card to Liu Tao.
Zhan Wentao and the others felt quite unhappy when they saw these on the side. Speaking of which, everyone originally got together to have a good relationship with Liu Tao, but it was good for you to directly state the purpose and hand over the business card, which seemed a little unkind.
"I will." Liu Tao smiled and took the business card.
"Brother Liu, don't just remember Mr. Lin's family, but also us. If there is something good, we are willing to pay a high price. Yu Qian said beside him.
"I know. If there is something good, I will definitely sue you. But I'm just relying on luck now, and I don't know when I'll be able to produce another better piece of jadeite. Let's talk about it later. Liu Tao said.
"Brother Liu, there is a very good opportunity right now. Would you like to go and see it together? Zhan Wentao was overjoyed after listening to Liu Tao's words.
"Oh? What chances? Liu Tao subconsciously asked.
"There's going to be a new jewelry fair coming up on the island side. If you have an idea, you can come with us to see it. There will also be a lot of jewelry materials over there, and you can also buy two pieces to play with when the time comes. Zhan Wentao said unhurriedly. In fact, this is probably the real purpose of them inviting Liu Tao to dinner. (To be continued.) )
