Chapter 256: There are eyes that don't know Taishan
Xia Wanjing's father will also attend tonight's business reception, which is a bit shocking.
It is estimated that Xia Wanjing's father attended the reception in a private capacity, but even so, it is estimated that many people will come to flatter, which is exactly in line with Xia Wanjing's purpose of building momentum for the Ocean Theme Park.
That night, I originally planned to attend the cocktail party with Xiao Yanting, after all, there are all kinds of characters on this occasion, black and white businessmen, if Xiao Yanting goes with me, it will be more convenient to socialize with others, especially those in mixed society.
But today we fought with the Huo brothers in the mass grave, resulting in some brothers being injured and hospitalized, and these medical expenses and other expenses need to be handled by Xiao Yanting, who is in charge of the financial aspect, so she has no free time tonight.
So I called Zhang Yu, who said that he had just taken a shower and asked me what was wrong?
I asked her to accompany me to a business reception, and she agreed without hesitation.
I drove back to the Jiangbin community, Zhang Yu had already dressed neatly and came downstairs, she was wearing some off-the-shoulder evening dresses tonight, her hair was pulled up high, revealing her fair neck, and she was carrying a fashionable LV handbag in her hand, swaying when she walked, beautiful and moving.
When Zhang Yu saw that I was looking at her fixedly, she smiled and said, "How about it, I can barely be your drinking party companion like this, right?" ”
I deliberately shook my head and said, "Not quite right." ”
Zhang Yu was joking with me just now, but I didn't expect me to say that it was not suitable, so she was a little stunned, lowered her head and looked at her own clothes, as if she wanted to find out what was wrong, and asked me suspiciously: "Why, is there something wrong with my clothes or makeup?" ”
I smiled and said no, and Zhang Yu asked me in confusion why was that?
I said to her with a hippie smile: "Because you are so beautiful tonight, I feel dwarfed by walking next to you, and I feel a lot of pressure, and I am always worried that others will mumble a flower on the cow dung when they see it!" ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he realized that I was joking with her, and I was praising her beauty in disguise!
She couldn't help but smile in her eyes, but she looked at me and said with a smile: "How can anyone compare himself to cow dung." ”
I said with a big grin: "What's wrong with cow dung, flowers in a vase will wither quickly, and it will be more nourishing when inserted in cow dung, and it may take root and sprout in the next year, so it is appropriate to say that flowers are suitable with cow dung." ”
After all, Zhang Yu is an elegant beauty, and she thinks it is inappropriate to discuss cow dung with me like this, so she said angrily: "Fallacy and heresy." ”
The two of us got on the Grand Cherokee, then drove straight to the Lihai City Hotel, and then took the elevator to the seventh-floor cocktail party.
There are a lot of security guards in black suits at the door of the cocktail party, and their expressions are extremely serious, in addition to checking the invitation, they also have to often carry their belongings, it is estimated that because Xia Wanjing's father Xia Kuoda is going to appear here tonight, the security work is taken very seriously.
I didn't have an invitation and I had a green dragon dagger with me, and the security guards refused to let me in.
At this moment, I saw two young men coming in with a few subordinates, one of these two young men was wearing a black Armani suit, and the other was wearing a white casual suit, it was Huo Qingyun and Huo Yunfei, two brothers.
A few security guards were telling me that they couldn't go in without an invitation letter and with weapons, but when Huo Qingyun and Huo Yunfei walked in, several security guards obviously knew the two young masters from the Huo family, and hurriedly went over and said respectfully: "The two young masters of the Huo family are here, please come in." ”
I saw that Huo Qingyun and the others didn't show any invitations, and they didn't need to search their belongings to get in, so I frowned and said to a few security guards: "Why can they go in without an invitation or a body search?" ”
One of the several security guards was a security captain, and he had a work badge on his chest with his name written on it: Cao Limin.
Cao Limin turned his head and said to Zhang Yu angrily: "Damn, you don't look at who they are, they are the young masters of the Huo family of the four major families, and they are friends with our boss Miss Xia Wanjing, can you compare?" ”
I was a little unhappy when I heard this, and Huo Qingyun had already seen me and Zhang Yu next to him, he pretended to see Zhang Yu at this time, stopped, pretended to be surprised and asked, "Zhang Yu, are you here too?" ”
Cao Limin was startled when he heard Huo Qingyun greet Zhang Yu, and hurriedly asked: "Huo Shao, do you know each other, if you know each other, I can advocate letting the two of them in." ”
Huo Qingyun looked at me and Zhang Yu, raised his eyebrows and said, "This woman is my good friend, as for the man, I don't know him, and Uncle Xia is going to attend the banquet tonight, this person is still carrying a dangerous weapon, it's not appropriate to let him in, right?" ”
Cao Limin immediately said: "Yes, yes, then this young lady can go in with Mr. Huo." ”
Cao Limin said this, and then turned his gaze to me: "You can't go in." ”
Huo Qingyun said to Zhang Yu with a smile: "Zhang Yu, why don't you go in with us first, if he is invited by Xia Wanjing, he will come in later." ”
Zhang Yu said coldly: "Chen Zijin doesn't go in, what do I do when I go in, there's no need." ”
Huo Qingyun saw that Zhang Yu was advancing and retreating with me, and he had become increasingly estranged from him, and even revealed a faint dislike of him in his words, he felt a burst of despair, he would never be able to get Zhang Yu's love. He said calmly on the surface, okay, then glanced at me, and went in with Huo Yunfei and the others, it seems that he knew that Xia Kuoda was going to appear here tonight, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
Xia Wanjing turned her head to me and said, "These guards look down on people, so let's not participate in the drinking party, Xiaojin, let's go?" ”
I took out my mobile phone and made a call to Xia Wanjing, but I kept prompting that the mobile phone was on the call, it is estimated that she is very busy tonight, and Zhang Yu is right, we are not important guests tonight, it doesn't matter if we participate in the drinking party or not, so I turned around and left with Zhang Yu.
Because I plan to attend the drinking party tonight, I am ready to drink and socialize, so when I eat in the evening, I deliberately eat a little less, the original intention is to be able to drink a few more glasses of wine when I participate in the drinking party in the evening, because sometimes it is impossible to push the glass and change the glass at the drinking party, and it is necessary to prepare in advance.
Since I don't plan to attend the drinking party with Zhang Yu at this time, I will tell Zhang Yu to go and have something to eat.
The Lihai Hotel is equipped with a shopping mall, and there are all kinds of food shops in the shopping mall, and I heard that there is a noodle restaurant here that tastes very good, so I told Zhang Yu to eat noodles.
When Zhang Yu and I walked towards the hotel shopping mall, in the noodle shop in the mall, there was a group of middle-aged men in white shirts and eyes, surrounded by a middle-aged man in a 50-year-old jacket.
A subordinate carrying a briefcase next to him said, "Xia Province ......"
Before the long words could be spoken, the middle-aged man in the jacket had already interrupted the other party and said: "Don't call me my title, I came here tonight to see my daughter in a private time, you can call me Mr. Xia." I remember that I worked in Lihai City for two years, especially the taste of tomato, egg and beef noodles in Lihai City, not that I brag with you, I cook this noodle, it is definitely better than the chef's cooking. ”
A group of subordinates around complimented him and said: "Haha, Mr. Xia is a person who takes things very seriously, not only does he take his work seriously, but he also strives to be perfect and the best in the little housework of cooking." ”
Someone immediately echoed the compliment and said: "This is, if you want to learn, you can learn steadily, and if you want to play, you can have fun!" ”
Xia Kuoda smiled slightly when he heard this, he was a little happy and proud in his heart, he pointed to the kitchen and said: "I'm itchy, I'll cook two bowls of noodles in and out, you all taste and taste, it's delicious, it proves that my Lao Xia didn't tell a lie, if it's not delicious, you can give me an opinion, I will improve it, and cook it for my daughter next time." ”
These subordinates all know Xia Kuoda's habit of wailing, what other leaders like to enjoy flowers and stones, or drink tea, or antiques or something, but Xia Kuoda is different, Xia Kuoda likes to cook, in Xia Kuoda's words, cooking and governance are the same, the ancients also once said: Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
Xia Kuoda really entered the kitchen to cook, the noodle shop owner and Xia Kuoda's subordinates were waiting outside, Xia Kuoda didn't like others to disturb him cooking.
It didn't take long for him to cook a few bowls of noodles for his subordinates, bosses, and waiters to taste, and everyone tasted two bites with disposable chopsticks, and then they were full of praise, as if they had eaten the best delicacy in the world, and applauded.
Xia Kuoda was very happy, but he was also a little suspicious: Is it really so delicious?
At this moment, Zhang Yu and I came in, found a seat and sat down, and muttered, "Waiter, bring us a bowl of tomato, egg and beef noodles." ”
Xia Kuoda, who was wearing an apron not far away, heard my words, immediately looked at me, and then responded directly: "Okay, come immediately." ”
When the hope of a servant of the people to make good achievements is affirmed by the people, Xia Kuoda naturally wants his food to be praised when he cooks, but he wants to hear the most authentic praise, so he decided to let me try it.
After he answered, he turned around and was about to go into the kitchen to cook another bowl of beef noodles, but he seemed to remember something, and warned the people around him before entering: "You are not allowed to talk to the guests at that table, if anyone wants to go over and ventilate with the guests at that table and let the guests talk nonsense and praise me, this is fooling and teasing me, and then you will bear the consequences." ”
After he finished speaking, he entered the kitchen under the eyes of the subordinates around him, and it didn't take long for him to cook a bowl of tomato, egg and beef noodles, and personally bring it out to me and Zhang Yu.
"Customers try it, this is our store's signature beef noodle."
Zhang Yu was not hungry, so I only ordered a bowl of noodles, I saw that the portion was quite sufficient, and I heard that it was a signboard, so I took the chopsticks while subconsciously asking: "It looks like the portion is quite a lot, do you sell a bowl for more money?" ”
The Xia family is the head of the four major families, the family is very rich, Xia Kuoda's identity is not an ordinary person, he estimates that he has not paid for anything for more than ten years, everything is done by his followers and subordinates, and his identity is also destined for him not to pay, where does he go to eat, the other party Ledole blossoms, who will let him pay?
So he didn't know the price of a bowl of noodles very well, so he casually said 58 yuan a bowl!
I was stunned when I heard it, thinking to myself, what kind of noodles is this, you can buy a pound of beef for 58 pieces, and a bowl of beef noodles costs 58 yuan, which is too expensive, right?
So, I thought that the expensive things must be delicious, so I started to try this bowl of noodles with a very picky taste for deliciousness.
But after the first bite, I frowned, and then tried all the noodles, eggs, tomatoes, and beef in the bowl, and the "chef" actually stood by and watched me eat, and after finishing the painting with the elementary school students, he asked the art teacher if the painting was good, "How does it taste?" ”
Under the frightened eyes of the people around me, I clicked the chopsticks on the table, learned the tone of Stephen Chow in the God of Food, and said with a big grin: "This uncle, with all due respect, what about your bowl of noodles, the tomato is cut into a big piece, bad review; Loose egg stirring, bad review; The beef has been boiled for a long time, and it can't be bitten like sawdust, bad reviews, as for the noodles, it's almost paste, like a bowl of Xiang, it's just a bad review of bad reviews. On the general office, the noodles you cooked are really numb. ”
Xia Kuoda's face was strange, and he asked, "What do you mean by numbness?" ”
I smiled: "It's Cantonese vernacular, it's just not good, it means so." ”
Xia Kuoda's face was extremely ugly, and the subordinates around him knew that the leader was angry and the consequences were very serious, so they hurriedly came over and shouted: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
