Chapter 381: A Feast
When those merchants saw that Xiao Mohan was also coming, they complimented Qian Qianqian vigorously, and those who didn't even open their eyes to Qian Qianqian on weekdays completely changed their faces at this moment.
Qian Qianqian also understood that these people were so supportive because of Xiao Mohan, so they just pursed their lips and smiled lightly, and dealt with them decently, and did not take these people's words to heart.
"Bosses, today is the reopening of Boss Qian's shop, in order to celebrate, Boss Qian specially set up a banquet in Tianyue Restaurant, please move to Tianyue Restaurant, and then congratulate Boss Qian."
Mu Tianyue stepped forward, coughed lightly twice, and deliberately raised the volume, he was the leader of the merchants in Lianzhou, so it was most appropriate for him to come out and speak at this time.
Those merchants looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were different, but most of them were suspicious, I don't know if this banquet is just a celebration or a Hongmen banquet?
"Then thank you Boss Qian."
After a moment of silence, someone finally stood up and thanked Qian Qianqian, and the others also spoke, all of them responded to Qian Qianqian's invitation one by one, among these merchants, only one man did not say anything from beginning to end, just silently followed the others.
"Everybody, please." Mu Tianyue led the way, and those merchants saluted Xiao Mohan one after another, and then followed Mu Tianyue to Tianyue Restaurant.
Xiao Mohan was dressed in a dark robe, with his hands behind his back, there was no superfluous look on his face, the green silk was tied, his thin lips were pursed, and his deep eyes were mixed with light and dark, which made people look unreal.
"Let's go too." Qian Qianqian walked to Xiao Mohan's side and lowered her voice, it was Mu Tianyue who was greeting these people all the time just now, Xiao Mohan didn't move, those people didn't dare to be too casual because Xiao Mohan was there, so everyone was restrained.
Xiao Mohan raised his eyes, just glanced at Qian Qianqian, then turned around and walked in the direction of Tianyue Restaurant, a cool breeze blew, his robe fluttered, and his posture was still upright, which was particularly eye-catching on this street.
"The man walking next to Mu Tianyue, but the one surnamed Lin?"
Qian Qianqian leaned into Xiao Mohan's ear, raised her head, and finally got close to Xiao Mohan's ear, blaming Xiao Mohan for being too tall and making her short, so she often had to tiptoe.
"Not bad."
Xiao Mohan spit out two words lightly, his tone was gentle, he couldn't hear the slightest ripple, he didn't squint all the time, and his eyebrows were heroic.
"He looks mediocre, not dazzling at all, and I can't see that he still has such guts."
Qian Qianqian commented in a low voice, if it is really "people should not be discognizable", looking at safe people is often the most dangerous.
"People who haven't even won Mu Tianyue must not be simple."
Xiao Mohan's face did not change, he said very firmly, he dared to conclude that this man must be an enemy, but this enemy is not like Yueji and others, it is on the surface, he wants to get rid of Yueji, and he doesn't need a reason at all.
But this man's identity is just an ordinary businessman, and he robbed Mu Tianyue's business, this can only be regarded as an entanglement between two businessmen, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Mohan, if Xiao Mohan can't come up with a sufficient reason, he can't move this man, otherwise it will attract criticism.
Qian Qianqian has also been prepared for a long time, she came here today, and she also expected what was about to happen, she was just a reason to bring these people together, the real guest of honor was Xiao Mohan.
Unconsciously, Tianyue Restaurant arrived, and today Mu Tianyue deliberately cleared the venue, and all the upstairs and downstairs had a banquet, and the dishes were all the signature dishes in the restaurant.
In fact, there are not many businessmen who can rank up in this Lianzhou City, and there is no need to set up so many banquets, Mu Tianyue will waste a lot of things in the end if he does this.
The businessmen sat down in twos and threes, although they sat very sparsely, but there were still several empty tables, and the businessman surnamed Lin was just about to sit down, but was stopped by Mu Tianyue.
"Boss Lin, you have just come to Lianzhou, and Boss Qian and I are the hosts, so we should take care of the wind and wash the dust for you, so you can sit at this main table with us."
Mu Tianyue smiled as warm as jade, but there was always a bit of shrewdness in his eyes, although he was also born with fine skin and tender meat, but compared with Jiang Sheng, he always had a little businessman's sleek and sophisticated, not as simple as Jiang Sheng.
The businessman surnamed Lin was a little stunned, looked at Mu Tianyue, then looked at Qian Qianqian, and finally stopped at Xiao Mohan, as if he was afraid of Xiao Mohan's identity and did not dare to step forward.
"Boss Mu is right, Boss Lin, General Ben heard that you are from the capital, and there are many things like consulting with you, so you can sit at the main table."
Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, and said lightly, but there was always a bit of temptation in his eyes, as if he was hiding a sharp blade that would pierce the person in front of him at any time.
"Yes, thank you, General."
Seeing this, the businessman surnamed Lin didn't dare to refuse, Xiao Mohan said this, it really gave him a lot of face, if he refused in front of so many people, it would be too ignorant.
The others looked at this scene, and they were all relieved, so it seems that Xiao Mohan and Mu Tianyue's purpose today is this businessman from a foreign country, not them, they just need to watch the play on the sidelines.
Although Xiao Mohan is a general, he has always been easy-going and unrestrained towards the common people, and for the case of Qian Qianqian, he ordered the execution of those fine works, and let the people observe, which really left a shadow in the hearts of these people, so no one dared to speak out at this time, even if they were eating and drinking, they did not dare to push the cup and change the lamp.
"Today, General Ben, like you, is here to congratulate Boss Qian, so General Ben's identity is no different from you, you don't have to be restrained, otherwise it will be a sin to sweep away Boss Qian's happiness."
Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips, a smile appeared on his face, his long eyebrows were in his sideburns, his thin lips were sharp, and his burning eyes were daunting.
"Yes, General."
Those businessmen bowed to Xiao Mohan, and after listening to Xiao Mohan's words, they all pretended to be relaxed, and they were not as restrained as just now, but Qian Qianqian could see that these people were just afraid of being punished by Xiao Mohan, so they were all forced to laugh.
"Boss Lin, I heard that you are from the capital, that's amazing, today the store reopened, you can come to cheer, it's really an honor."
Qian Qianqian raised her hand and personally poured a glass of wine for the businessman surnamed Lin, and the businessman surnamed Lin immediately took it, very cautious, for fear that he would break the rules if he was not careful.
"Boss Qian has won the award, it is difficult to do business in the capital, and I was forced to come to Lianzhou, and I need to take care of you in the future."
The businessman surnamed Lin kept his head down, speaking very humbly, his afterglow kept skimming Xiao Mohan, his face was full of vigilance, although he was cautious, but he was not flustered.
"Boss Lin is really humble, sit down, I don't know Boss Lin's name, I don't know if Boss Lin can tell me?"
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she exchanged glances with Mu Tianyue, and then said tentatively, Mu Tianyue has been dealing with this businessman surnamed Lin for several days, but she has never gained the upper hand, Qian Qianqian is a woman, and she speaks gently like water, which must be easier for people to show flaws.
"Call Lin Jingwen under the name." The businessman surnamed Lin spoke slowly, holding the wine in his hand all the time, not daring to put it down, but he didn't want to drink it rashly.
"This name is really elegant, it really doesn't look like a businessman covered in copper smell, but like a champion who reads poetry and books, Boss Lin's ancestor, is he also a businessman?"
Qian Qianqian chuckled, slowly walked to the seat next to Xiao Mohan, and sat down on her knees, just facing Lin Jingwen.
"In the lower ancestors, he was a lifter, and his father was also a jinshi, but it was only in the next generation that he started a business."
Lin Jingwen bowed slightly, no matter whether what he said was true or not, his attitude was also very sincere, and he was really honest, which made people not be on guard.
"No wonder, if you are a businessman, you can't think of such an elegant name."
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly warmed up, Xiao Mohan sat in it, his expression was light, and his eyes were as calm as water.
"Boss Lin, General Ben heard that you bought dozens of shops in Lianzhou City as soon as you came, and you paid three times the market price of silver, which really made General Ben admire, so General Ben also wants to toast you."
Xiao Mohan slowly raised the wine glass in his hand, which seemed to be approving at first glance, but when he listened carefully, there was always something wrong, not like praise at all, but like mockery.
"The general is polite, I just want to do business, I think those shops are good, the location is good, and there will be a lot of returns in the future, so I bought it, I didn't think about it so much, and I don't know how much money I spent."
Lin Jingwen pretended to be frightened and smiled a little embarrassed, although he looked honest, but in fact he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, which Qian Qianqian could see, and Xiao Mohan's Mu Tianyue could naturally see it.
"Boss Lin, you are really modest, I also took a fancy to those shops, and wanted to add some silver to buy them from you, but you never agreed, until today, when I think of this, my heart itches, and I can't even sleep well at night."
Mu Tianyue also echoed on the side, holding a wine glass, and squeezed his eyebrows at Lin Jingwen, now there are only four of them at the main table, he wants to see how calm Lin Jingwen is, and he can do a good job under the noses of the three of them.
"Boss Mu, you and I are both businessmen, and it's normal for both to fancy the same thing, but there are always people in this world who can't love it, and they have to come first and come first, so you don't have to worry about this matter, there are so many shops in Lianzhou, you can always find a better one."
Lin Jingwen just smiled slightly, respectful but without losing his strength, so easy, it was really not simple, saying that he was just an ordinary businessman was really talking nonsense.
"But Boss Lin, I've always been dead-eyed, once I see something, I must get it, no matter how good the things next to me are, I won't take a second look, today it happens that General Xiao is also there, take this opportunity, I ask you to be accommodating, how much silver do you want, you just mention it, in front of General Xiao, I promised, I will give you the amount."
Mu Tianyue's face was embarrassed, and he deliberately bit the words "General Xiao", just to let Lin Jingwen recognize the situation, what should not be fought for, it is better not to fight well, otherwise he will inevitably cause trouble for himself.
