"Grandpa Zhang, where are we going now?" Liu Tao asked with a smile. After all, it's the first time I've met each other, and I don't know what to say.

"I know a restaurant that does very good local food in Pingzhou. Let's go eat over there. Zhang Lao glanced at him and said.

"Hmm." Liu Tao nodded. Anyway, he is really not familiar with Pingzhou, so he can only be a guest.

"Go to Wang's Restaurant." Seeing that Liu Tao had no objections, Zhang Lao commanded.

Soon, the car came to a stop in front of a hotel.

The two got out of the car.

"Let's go, let's go in." Zhang Lao said hello and walked straight in.

It can be seen that Zhang Lao is very familiar with the boss here, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly greeted him. Next, the group entered one of the only two private rooms.

"Old Zhang, you haven't been here for a while. What do you want to eat today? The restaurant owner waited until they were all seated and asked.

"The old rules. But this time it's a double portion. Zhang Lao said.

"Okay. Right away. The restaurant owner finished speaking and withdrew.

The personal guard who followed Zhang Lao stood at the door and did not come in. If something happens, he can react at any time.

"Liu Tao, I heard Fan Lao say that you are here to participate in the public conference this time. What do you think? What's the catch? Zhang Lao took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"It's ok. A small profit. Liu Tao nodded and replied.

"There are fewer and fewer young people with as brains as you. How old are you this year? In my opinion, seventeen or eighteen at best. Zhang Lao looked Liu Tao up and down and guessed.

"Eighteen. I'm still in school, but I'm just taking the time to catch up with my friends and open my eyes. Liu Tao nodded and said.

"Not bad. Young people have vitality and the demeanor of Fan Lao. In time, it will surely achieve great things. Zhang Lao immediately let out a sound of admiration.

"Grandpa Zhang, you are too awarded. I'm making a little money at best, and I can't get on the table yet. Liu Tao said with some embarrassment. If it weren't for the Tianyan in his hands, he would probably still be struggling in school to get into college.

"There are not many people as humble as you, young people. I heard you had something going on here. What do you think? Are they all solved? Zhang Lao changed the subject.

"Hmm. It's been solved. Liu Tao nodded. Fortunately, there was Chen Fang by his side this time, if he hadn't shot and demonstrated, I'm afraid those people would not have retreated.

"If anyone bothers you again, you're going to look for me. I'll help you sort it out. Zhang Lao said.

"Hmm." Liu Tao responded. Since Zhang Lao appeared, he knew that the other party was specially asked by the second grandfather to help him, and if he chose to refuse, it would be equivalent to rejecting the old man's intentions, which was really not a wise move.

At this time, the meal is served. Zhang Lao beckoned Liu Tao to eat more.

The old and the young are very happy to eat.

Who knew that at this time there was a commotion from outside. The private room does not have a door, but is separated by a curtain. So hear it clearly.

"Boss, when we were eating here just now, we lost a bag with 10,000 yuan in it. What do you think about this? A man said.

"Little brother, it's not that my brother doesn't take it out, I really didn't see your bag." After listening to the other party's words, the restaurant owner immediately understood that the other party was coming to the door to extort protection money. However, he is only a small business, and the other party is 10,000 yuan per mouth, and he definitely doesn't have it. If it's three hundred or two hundred, maybe he will give it to the other party. The right should be ruined and the disaster eliminated.

"Who is a brother with you! Less close to Lao Tzu! Seeing that the boss was so unreasonable, the other party threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and crushed it with his foot, and opened his mouth to scold: "Old guy, do you mean that our brothers are slandering you?" ”

When the boss saw them like this, how dare he dare to say more, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "How dare you." A few of you are good people at first glance, how can you slander people. But I really didn't see your bag, so you should look for it somewhere else. ”

"Okay! You don't give it, do you! My brothers and I sat down here today! Wait until you find the bag! The other sat down as he spoke.

"What are we doing business while you sit here!" At this time, a female voice rang out.

"Nuan Nuan, this matter is not your business, you go inside." The restaurant owner hurriedly said.

"Dad. Aren't they blaming people! I'll call the police right now! The girl called Nuan Nuan said as she prepared to pull out her mobile phone.

"Hit! Hurry up! If you don't make this call today, I won't agree! As soon as the other party heard that the police were called, he suddenly became energetic.

"Nuan Nuan, you go inside first! Hurry up and be obedient! "The restaurant owner saw that his daughter was going to call the police. Hurry up and persuade. He knew that if he called the police today, it was estimated that his restaurant would not be able to open for a while, and he would have to lose a sum of money, which would really outweigh the losses.

"Dad!" Nuan Nuan saw her father like this, stomped her foot, turned around and went into the kitchen.

"Brothers. Ten thousand dollars is indeed a bit more. Do you want to see if you can do less? The restaurant owner discussed with a smiling face.

"Look at you like this! Okay, it's five thousand! The other party saw that the restaurant owner softened and said.

"Okay! I'm going to get you guys' money! I hope you don't come back again! The restaurant owner thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said. Although his current restaurant has a good business, his monthly income is 10,000 yuan, and 5,000 yuan is enough to make half a month's hard work in this restaurant go to waste. But what can be done? If he doesn't, things will be even more tricky in the future.

"Don't worry. As long as you lose our money, we will definitely not come back. As soon as the other party saw that the restaurant owner was about to give money, he immediately agreed happily.

Liu Tao and Zhang Lao listened to their conversation very well. In broad daylight, it is an unforgivable crime for someone to blatantly collect protection money in such a name.

Liu Tao wants to take care of this stall. But he knew very well in his heart that if this was in Binjiang, he would definitely not hesitate to make a move, after all, for him now, there is still something to do with Binjiang. But this is Pingzhou, he has caused trouble by himself and needs someone else to help him deal with it, if he makes a rash move, I am afraid that he will bring himself a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Perhaps seeing the concerns in Liu Tao's heart, Zhang Lao smiled, got up and lifted the curtains and walked out.

Seeing this, Liu Tao also hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
