Chapter 147: The Wine Banquet
Seeing Boss Zhu's demeanor, everyone's hearts were tight.
"What's the matter, I said people don't necessarily help!" Huang Youcai said. "Right?"
"Dad, won't my cousin help? It's a big deal to pay her lawyer's fees! Zhu Yue pouted.
"Not what you think." Boss Zhu said, "Your cousin is going on a business trip tomorrow. This has been gone for several days, and she is afraid that she will delay your affairs! β
Boss Zhu looked at Qian Yongqiang and asked, "What should I do about this?" I know you're in a hurry! β
Qian Yongqiang and the others stared at each other, and they had no idea for a while.
After a while, the phone rang sharply. Boss Zhu hurriedly grabbed the microphone, and when Boss Zhu put the microphone down again, a smile appeared on his face.
"Dad, is my cousin calling?" Zhu Yue asked. "Things are turning around?"
"Your cousin just called and said that her business trip has been canceled, and she will concentrate on buying a house for you tomorrow."
"Great!" Zhu Yue said excitedly, "My cousin is so understanding!" β
"Your dad is still easy to speak!" Boss Zhu said proudly, "Your cousin heard that your father had something to do here, so she hurriedly asked the leader for leave, and then went on a business trip!" β
"Thank you so much, Boss Zhu!" Qian Yongqiang held Boss Zhu's hand tightly and said, "I'm really grateful!" β
Within a few days, Qian Yongqiang, accompanied by Zhu Yue's cousin, completed the procedures for buying a house, and finally thanked him. Soon after the thank-you banquet began, Zhu Yue's cousin left under the pretext.
After everyone re-seated, Qian Yongqiang raised his wine glass and said: "This house has been bought, first of all, I would like to thank Boss Zhu, Zhu Yue's cousin and brothers for their great support!" Since then, I have a home in Nanjing, and I solemnly declare that this home is not mine alone, but a common home for brothers! β
"Good!" Huang Youcai took the lead and shouted. Everyone was very excited, and since then they have ended their wandering life without a fixed place.
"Not good!" Zhu Yue said angrily, "You are grateful to everyone, but there is no me!" Is it so long that I've been dangling in front of you, and you're all treating me as transparent? β
"I'll say something else about how I thank you." Qian Yongqiang said.
"Huh, another word?" Zhu Yue asked, "How do you say that?" β
Qian Yongqiang said with the strength of wine: "Take you to do a few big business!" β
Zhu Yue was slightly disappointed, but when she saw her father here, she was relieved.
"That's pretty much it!" Zhu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Have you had any big business recently?" β
"This-" Qian Yongqiang said, "we all rely on luck to do this kind of business, and it's hard to say when there is a business and when there is no business!" β
"There's business!" Huang Youcai continued, "There is big business!" β
"Really?" Zhu Yuele said, "Then you must take me with you this time!" β
"That's for sure!" Huang Youcai said. "We've long treated you as one of our own!"
"What kind of big business?" Qian Yongqiang asked, "Why don't I know?" I've never heard of you! β
turned to ask Wang Ziren and Li Qiming: "Do you two know?" β
"I don't know!" Li Qiming and Wang Ziren were also confused.
"That's the case," Huang Youcai quickly explained, "On the afternoon when I went to look for the landlord alone, I met Lao Sun on the wayβthe same old grandson that Qian Yongqiang promised to invite him to drink, and I chatted with him at that time.
He heard from others that Gao Chun, a receiver, received a batch of old things some time ago. A few of our people who know the news have gone to see it, but they are either not sure or they don't have the money. He asked me to talk to Yongqiang about it, and if I have time to take a look, maybe I can make a windfall! Huang Youcai thought for a while and said.
"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Li Qiming complained. "After such a long time, maybe someone would have sold it sooner! Thou hast delayed thy affairs! β
"Don't blame me," Huang Youcai argued, "Isn't there something more important to do, I just want to push it back." Anyway, some people have seen it, and if they want to sell it, they will sell it a long time ago! β
"Did Lao Sun say where the consignee lives in Gaochun?" Qian Yongqiang asked.
"I was in a hurry and didn't ask in detail!" Huang Youcai scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "It seems to be near Gaochun Old Street." β
"Near Gaochun Old Street, the range of this address is too large." Qian Yongqiang said, "Without an accurate address, we went in vain, and we couldn't find it at all." β
"I'll go to Lao Sun tomorrow to ask for clarification, and then we'll go over again!" Huang Youcai said.
"Tomorrow, when you go to find Lao Sun, tell him that I promised to invite him to drink some time ago, and I haven't been free recently, so find a place to invite him at noon tomorrow!" Qian Yongqiang said, "Just ask by the way!" β
"Okay!" Huang Youcai said happily, "There is wine to drink and meat to eat every day, this little day is so beautiful!" β
"When you invite Lao Sun tomorrow, do you want to call Qi Xiaofei too?" Wang Ziren said, "It seems that I also promised to invite Qi Xiaofei to drink before!" β
"Let's shout it." Qian Yongqiang said, "The last batch of Chinese medicine books was bought by us, and Qi Xiaofei was credited!" β
"It's not merit, it's hard work!" Li Qiming snorted coldly and said.
"Regardless of merit or hard work," Huang Youcai said, "as long as you promise him, call him up." One is also leading, and the two are also being released. One more person with more pairs of chopsticks is not much trouble! β
"That kid has a bad mouth," Li Qiming said worriedly, "Will he reveal the matter of our trip to Gaochun to others?" β
"Probably not, right?" Wang Ziren said, "Lao Sun said that Gao Chun's matter, many people in the Nanjing circle know about it, and it doesn't matter if Qi Xiaofei says it or not!" β
"Master, what do you see?" Li Qiming was still worried about Qi Xiaofei, and he began to ask Qian Yongqiang's opinion.
"When we ask Lao Sun about things, just avoid Qi Xiaofei!" Qian Yongqiang thought for a while and said, "Huang Youcai, when you make an appointment with Lao Sun tomorrow, first ask the address of the consignee in Gaochun Old Street, and we won't talk about this topic when Qi Xiaofei is there!" β
"I'll bring a pen and paper tomorrow and write down the address!"
"I'm not going to go tomorrow at noon." Boss Zhu said, "The bookstore has been a little busy lately, and I won't go with you to Gaochun Old Street to pick up the goods this time." If you have my goods, help me bring them back, and I'll report the travel expenses to you! β
"Boss Zhu, you're too polite!" Qian Yongqiang said, "We are very grateful for buying a house this time. If you meet your goods, we will definitely bring you back, and when the time comes, bring your goods back, and give them to you for free! β
"Don't, I don't dare to ask for it if you give it to me for nothing!" Boss Zhu said, "One yard is one yard, business is business, and favors are favors!" I'll give you the money you deserve! β
"Boss Zhu, you are so particular, just give a capital when the time comes!" Huang Youcai said impassionedly with the strength of the wine, "If you need our help with anything, go to heaven and earth, go to the soup and go to the fire, my brothers are all there!" β
"Okay," Boss Zhu said, "I'm full of wine and food today, so don't leave it at that!" β
As he spoke, Boss Zhu staggered and stood up, and Zhu Yue saw that his father was drunk and his feet were unstable, so he hurriedly held on.
"We're okay too, let's go together. We'll drive you back. Qian Yongqiang said to Boss Zhu. If you are talented, you go to check out, Li Qiming will help Zhu Yue support Boss Zhu, and I will prepare the car. β
"I'm not going to go tomorrow at noon." In the car, Zhu Yue said to Qian Yongqiang.
"Why?" Qian Yongqiang asked.
"Sister Zhu Yue, the bookstore can be closed for a while at noon tomorrow." Li Qiming said.
"I don't like to eat and drink with people I hate!"
"Sister Zhu Yue, I always thought that you were a female man who was not afraid of heaven and earth," Li Qiming said, "Why are you shy this time?" β
"Not shy!" Zhu Yue said, "I don't have an appetite to eat with people I hate!" β
"Then are you going to Gaochun Old Street with us this time?" Li Qiming asked.
"Of course you have to go!" Zhu Yue said. "What, you don't want to take me?"
"Where!" Li Qiming said, "You all go, I'll stay alone to watch the store." β
At noon the next day, Qian Yongqiang and several people invited Lao Sun and Qi Xiaofei in a small restaurant.
"A few big bosses, now that the specifications have been lowered?" When he came to the small restaurant, Lao Sun didn't say anything, Qi Xiaofei looked left and right, silently tabled, kicked the bench, and joked with a hippie smile.
"Qi Xiaofei, if you have food and drink, someone will be invited, you can be content, it's too bad!" Lao Sun teased him and said, "Boss Qi has a lot of money, since he can't look down on this small restaurant, it's better to go to a big hotel to spend it yourself!" β
"Old Sun, I'm just joking, are you like this?" Qi Xiaofei said angrily, "It's not that you paid for a treat today, why did you come from so much nonsense!" β
"It's not me who pays for a treat! But it's not like you're paying for a treat! Lao Sun didn't let Qi Xiaofei at all, because he had never put Qi Xiaofei in his eyes. Lao Sun looked at Qi Xiaofei, who was sharp-headed and slippery, and sneered and said, "If it's you for a treat, it's not uncommon for me to come!" β
Seeing that the two of them were on the bar, Qian Yongqiang and several others hurriedly persuaded each other.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone's words gradually increased.
"Boss Qian, if you go to Gaochun, I advise you to be careful!" Lao Sun drank a little too much, and gradually lost the door on his mouth, and forgot Huang Youcai's instructions to him before he came.
"Okay, old grandson, let's drink!" In order not to attract Qi Xiaofei's attention, Qian Yongqiang hurriedly interrupted Lao Sun's words and took the opportunity to change the topic by persuading him to drink.
"Drink." Lao Sun didn't understand what Qian Yongqiang meant, took a sip of wine, and then said, "As far as I know, there are several connoisseurs in Nanjing who have been to see it, and none of them have done it, I suspect that there is something wrong with things!" I saw Xiao Huang when I first found out about the shipment, and I want to advise you to try your luck in the past. Now I really don't want you to go, I'm afraid it's a pit! β
"What is it?" Qi Xiaofei actually forgot about the unhappiness with Lao Sun just now, and asked about Lao Sun with a face.
"You don't buy anything! What did you ask? Lao Sun replied angrily.
"Just ask." Qi Xiaofei still asked with a smile on his face and pretended to be very casual, "Where is Gaochun Old Street?" β
"There is a stall next to Gaochun Old Street!" Lao Sun glanced at Qi Xiaofei with disdain, and said, "Why are you asking so carefully, you go in vain, you don't understand anything, and you don't have the guts to buy it, it's better to pick up a few books in Nanjing and make money for dinner!" β
"Good!" Qi Xiaofei's face was full of humility, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone saw that Lao Sun said everything after drinking, and Qi Xiaofei also heard it clearly, although he felt that Lao Sun was fast-talking, but he didn't feel anything wrong.
Next, Qi Xiaofei smiled and raised his glass to Qian Yongqiang: "Thank you for your hospitality!" By the way, when are you going to go to Gaochun? β
"There have been a lot of things lately," Qian Yongqiang said, "and the time to go is not certain!" β
"Can you take me with you when you go?" Qi Xiaofei asked with a smile.
"We don't have to go yet!" Li Qiming said, "Let's talk about it when we go!" β
Qi Xiaofei still looked at Qian Yongqiang with a smile on his face, wanting to hear his answer.
"Let's go back and talk about it." Qian Yongqiang said, "If Boss Qi wants to go-"
Li Qiming interrupted Qian Yongqiang's words and said directly to Qi Xiaofei: "We have been busy with business in the store recently, and it is unlikely that we will go." If you want to go, you can do it yourself! β
"Good!" Seeing that Li Qiming didn't treat him very well, and Qian Yongqiang didn't necessarily want to take him, the smile on Qi Xiaofei's face froze. He picked up his glass with a cold face and took a sip of his own wine, and then chatted with Wang Ziren.
After a full meal and wine, everyone left the scene and went back to their respective homes.
"Master, shall we go to Gaochun?" On the way home, Li Qiming asked Qian Yongqiang.
