The waiter brought a copy of the menu and handed it to Liao Su, who handed the menu to Zhang Yuanbao.

Zhang Yuanbao took the menu, and Liao Su said: "You can order whatever you want to eat." “

She nodded, then flipped through the menu, and the waiter handed over a pen, and she said, "Thank you." ”

Liao Su looked at the bicycle outside the window, there were so many people coming and going, he was a little worried, what if the car was accidentally pushed away by others.

Although the Zhang family's financial resources don't care about these small objects, they lost them from their hands, and it is not easy to explain.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuanbao handed over the menu, Liao Su was a little distracted, she said, "I've ordered, you see what else you want to eat." ”

He came back to his senses, took the menu, checked some vegetarian dishes on it, and asked, "Why didn't you order meat?" ”

Zhang Yuanbao replied: "I rarely eat meat outside, maybe the fish is not too picky." ”

Liao Su understands that how can this kind of rich person be the same as ordinary people, maybe one meal of theirs is their own living expenses for several months.

It's just that there is no meat in the hot pot, but it lacks the soul, and I heard her say that she is not very picky about fish, so she ordered a plate of black fish fillets and two angsting fish.

Originally, Liao Su's budget was around 100, but now it seems that I am afraid that 40-50 will be able to win.

While waiting for the food, Zhang Yuanbao asked Liao Sudao: "Did you say before that you wanted to do business?" ”

Liao Su replied: "Have this idea, Liu Qing's family is in business." ”

"I just don't know why, every time I talk to Liu Qing about doing business, he seems to be very angry."

Zhang Yuanbao was also a little puzzled and asked, "Is it that their family is losing money in business?" It doesn't look like it! ”

Liao Su said: "It shouldn't be, their family only came to the city some time ago." ”

Zhang Yuanbao doesn't know the reason for this, her father is a business predator, she just thinks it's easy for these things, and she hasn't really experienced them.

And Liao Su doesn't understand, he hasn't experienced the baptism of society, and he can't quite understand the difficulty of doing business.

Seeing that most of the people are making money, I feel that it is quite easy, and if I do it myself, I can still make some achievements.

Soon, the dishes came up, this was the second time Liao Su had eaten it, and it was far from the freshness of the first time.

However, when he took the first bite, he felt that the taste was different, at least better than the last time.

This is obviously the same pot bottom, how can there be a difference? Could it be that they changed the recipe?

While eating, Liao Su accidentally saw two people sitting at a table in the corner, also wearing suits.

They didn't eat, they just sat in the corner, and when Liao Su found the two of them, they got up and walked outside.

I don't know how many such people are here, they should just be one of them, including those cars on the road, they should be arranged.

Since these manpower have been arranged, this hot pot should have been specially handled.

It's not surprising that the taste has changed, and if they want to arrange something in this kind of restaurant, it will probably be a "piece of cake".

Soon, the two of them finished eating, although the taste this time was much better than last time, but Liao Su always felt uncomfortable eating.

Liao Su said to Zhang Yuanbao: "You wait for me at the door for a while, and I'll go to settle the bill." ”

Zhang Yuanbao didn't say much, just said: "Okay." ”

Liao Su walked to the bar and said to the cashier, "Check out at table 6." ”

The cashier took out a slip from under the bar, and after reading it for a few seconds, Liao Su took out the money and sorted it out one by one.

The camper suddenly said, "Hey, the account for table 6 has already been settled." ”

Liao Su was still sorting out the money, and when he heard this, he stopped and asked suspiciously, "What, is there a mistake?" It's table 6. ”

The cashier said, "Yes, I'm sure, this table is over." ”

As he spoke, the cashier handed the bill to Liao Su, who glanced at it, and there was a red seal with the word "Zhang" on it.

He seemed to understand something, so he didn't say anything more, turned and walked out.

Zhang Yuanbao was standing at the door, and when he saw Liao Su coming out, he asked, "How much did it cost?" ”

Liao Su felt that she should be in the know, but ...... He didn't lie, and said directly: "Someone has already knotted." ”

Zhang Yuanbao was actually surprised and asked, "How come, who got it?" ”

Liao Su said: "It seems to be a person with the surname "Zhang", and there is a red character Zhang under the bill. ”

Zhang Yuanbao suddenly realized and said: "Ou~ That should be Uncle Lin, I told him, but I didn't expect him to arrange it." ”

The car was still parked in that place, and Liao Su said, "I'll send you back." ”

Zhang Yuanbao replied with a smile: "Okay! ”

Then, Liao Su walked to the side of the road, and just as he grabbed the car with both hands, a black sedan drove over and stopped at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

An older middle-aged man stepped out of the car, wearing a gray Mao suit, although his temples were a little gray, but he walked very energetically.

He walked straight to Zhang Yuanbao's side and said respectfully: "Miss, we are here to pick you up, please get in the car." ”

Zhang Yuanbao said: "Uncle Lin, I want to take a walk and go back by myself." ”

The middle-aged man's tone was still very respectful, and he replied, "Miss, it's already an exception to let you come out today. ”

"If this matter is known to the master, none of us will be able to explain it, and besides, it will be dark soon, and it will not be safe at night."

"You better go back with me, everyone is waiting for you in the house, if you don't go back, no one will be at ease."

After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to make a "please" gesture and asked Zhang Yuanbao to get into the car.

Zhang Yuanbao was a little afraid of her father, if she really let her father know that she had come out, she would have no way to explain.

She said, "Okay, then let me say hello to my classmates." ”

The middle-aged man withdrew his arm and said respectfully, "Yes." ”

Zhang Yuanbao walked to Liao Su's side and said, "Uncle Lin is here to pick me up, I have to go back with him." ”

"I told Uncle Lin when I came out this time, my dad didn't know yet, he usually didn't allow me to run around."

Liao Su hurriedly replied: "Oh~ It's okay, it's good, it's comfortable to sit in the car." ”

Then, he patted the bike with his hand and asked, "What about this car?" ”

Zhang Yuanbao replied: "You can ride back, and then you can put it wherever you want." ”

Liao Su asked, "Won't you lose it?" ”

Zhang Yuanbao pointed to the "Z" on the bar and said, "As long as there is this sign on it, it will not be lost." ”

Liao Su nodded, and then, Zhang Yuanbao stretched out his hand and made a "bye-bye" gesture, then turned around and got into the car and sat in the back row.

The middle-aged man followed closely behind, opened the co-pilot's door, and before getting into the car, he glanced at Liao Su, and then sat in the co-pilot.

After both of them got into the car, the driver started the car, and in just ten seconds, the whole car disappeared out of Liao Su's field of vision.

Originally, Liao Su wanted to walk back, but he always felt that it was not good to put his bicycle here, so he was ready to ride his bicycle back.

If you leave the car outside Ah Jing's hotel, it will be more convenient to find it when the time comes.

From the hot pot restaurant to Ajing's hotel, it can be about four to five kilometers, with a bicycle, saving Liao Su a lot of energy, and after a while, I saw the outline of the hotel.

Today is Friday, and there are still a lot of people staying here at this time.

Liao Su parked the car behind the large flower pot on the right side of the hotel gate, and the room card of 204 was always in Liao Su's hand.

This is a card that does not need to be magnetized, and has a black chip in the middle of the card that can be used to swipe open the door of the room.

At this time, there were still a lot of people outside, and Liao Su stayed in the room all the time, and he wanted to wait until there was no one, and then go down to accompany Ah Jing.

There was a TV in the room, he turned it on and watched it for a while, but he was in school all the time and didn't have any programs he liked to watch.

As he watched, he fell asleep and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, he had just gone to the university, went through the procedures for entering the school as a freshman, and under the leadership of a senior sister, he went to the dormitory where he was.

He had a dream of drama since he was a child, joined the drama club, and not long after he entered, he had to rehearse an event.

Liao Su added it to the school's auditorium to choose roles and rehearse scenes.

When he got there, some of the leading actors had already been determined, and they were all decided before the summer vacation, and they were several sophomore seniors.

It is said that they have all been rehearsing for a whole summer, and there are still some small roles that have not yet been decided.

Liao Su chose one, and at this time, the "director" arranged a girl to perform with Liao Su.

He clearly saw the girl's name on the performance list - Hu Yuhuan.

……

When Liao Su opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside, and he glanced at his phone, which showed "21:23".

He looked at the time and said to himself, "It's already past nine o'clock." ”

Then, he rubbed his eyes, slowly walked to the bathroom, and washed his face with cold water, after the water touched his skin, half of the original sleepiness was gone.

He went down to the first floor, it stands to reason that Ah Jing should be chasing dramas at this time, and he will laugh "haha" from time to time, but tonight it was unusually quiet.

Liao Su walked to the bar chair, Ah Jing hadn't found out yet, he was worried that his sudden speech would scare her, so he whispered, "Sister Jing......"

Ah Jing glanced up, saw that it was Liao Su, lowered her head and looked at the computer, and said, "When did you come back, why didn't I see you?" ”

Liao Su "climbed" in through the small door next to the bar and replied, "I'll be back in the afternoon, and there were many people at that time, so I didn't come to disturb you." ”

Ah Jing didn't answer, and continued to look at the computer screen, Liao Su stared, and was shocked, Ah Jing was not watching the drama, but watching the replay of the surveillance.

This made him very curious, and asked, "Sister Jing, what are you doing, why do you suddenly look like the surveillance, are you missing something?" ”

Ah Jing's eyes never left the screen, and replied, "No, it's just something else." ”

As soon as this sentence was finished, Ah Jing followed lightly: "By the way, do you know when the bicycle outside the door was put there?" ”

Liao Su asked, "Is that the bicycle with the "Z" logo engraved on the bar?" ”

Ah Jing was also shocked when she heard Liao Su's description, she looked at Liao Su and asked, "How do you know that there is a "Z" on it?" Have you seen that car? ”

Liao Su felt that Ah Jing's reaction was a little big, isn't it just a bicycle, what is it, so he replied: "I rode here, and I put it at the door." ”

Hearing Liao Su's words, Ah Jing stood up abruptly and said, "What! Where did you get this car? ”

This reaction made Liao Su a little panicked, and he stumbled and said, "This ...... This is...... A classmate of mine asked me to ...... Ride back. ”

Unexpectedly, Ah Jing's reaction was even greater, and she asked loudly, "Who, do you know whose car it is?" How dare you ride away casually! ”

Liao Su was silent for a few seconds, and replied with a stumbling voice: "Zhang ...... ZHANG Yuan...... Treasure ......"

As soon as Ah Jing heard that this person's surname was Zhang, she breathed a sigh of relief, her tone calmed down, and asked, "Her surname is Zhang?" ”

Liao Su nodded, and seeing that Ah Jing was not so serious, he replied, "Yes, Sister Jing, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?" ”

Ah Jing turned off the monitor and explained: "On the car outside, there is a "Z" sign, which is the code letter of the Zhang family. ”

"Whether it's a company, a car, or real estate, everything related to the Zhang family will be printed with this unique letter."

"In Xicheng, whether it is black and white, you have to give the Zhang family some thin noodles."

"And this kind of thing with a letter mark, if it is not allowed by the Zhang family, whoever dares to move will be in trouble."

Liao Su knew that the Zhang family had some background and strength, and he asked, "Sister Jing, do you know anything about the Zhang family?" ”

Ah Jing didn't answer directly, but said lightly: "These things are not something that you should ask casually as a child." ”

"Also, I met that one named Zhang ...... in the future What a treasure girl, stay away from her, you are not in a circle. ”

This Liao Su also understands in his heart that he has no way to compare with "Miss Zhang's Family" in any aspect, and he is not on the same platform at all.

Liao Su wanted to change the topic lightly, so he asked, "Sister Jing, is it easy to do business in Xicheng?" I have a classmate who is in business at home, and he feels pretty good, and I want to try it too. ”

Ah Jing said: "It's not that simple, no matter who it is, if you don't have a background in doing business in Xicheng, it's simply impossible." ”

"Let's just say inside and outside the mall, the prices inside are very high, and there is no street, but why do many people go to the mall."

"Because it's relatively safe, no one charges at will, and there are very few thefts."

"The shops on the street are different, if there is no background, it is difficult to rent a suitable house, and second, they will be 'bullied', not to mention anything else, even a few people who collect protection money can make the business unsustainable."

Liao Su didn't know this, and after hearing Ah Jing's explanation, he realized that the business experience was not so easy to read, in addition to his own mind, the external environment was also very "suffocating".

He seemed to suddenly understand why Liu Qinghui had always been disgusted with this topic, their family was in business, and there was indeed a lot of helplessness.

Later, Ah Jing said a lot of things about the shops in the shopping mall, there are many advantages to selling in the shopping mall, you only need to pay rent and pay a certain tax to the "relevant departments", and there are no other additional fees, and it is precisely because of this that the same area of the façade in the shopping mall is 1.5~3 times that of the outside façade.

Even so, if you don't know people, the façade of the mall may not be able to be won, and those who open stores outside have more or less a little "power", and there must be people in both black and white, otherwise there is no way to operate at all.

In the past, there were many foreign merchants in Xicheng, and they bought goods in exchange for goods, which also made Xicheng's economy develop a lot, but this annoyed the original merchants in Xicheng, and they "hired" people on the underworld to "suppress" those foreign merchants, so that they could not gain a foothold here.

……

Ah Jing said a lot to Liao Su, and Liao Su asked slowly: "Sister Jing, do you know anyone else?" ”

Ah Jing seemed to have guessed that Liao Su would ask this question, and said with a smile: "I don't know anyone, just an ordinary ordinary person." ”

Liao Su naturally didn't believe this sentence, if there was really such a complicated environment, such a big hotel, it would be impossible to open it easily, at least it would not be as peaceful as it is now.

Ever since he moved in, he'd never seen anyone come here to make trouble or collect protection money.

It's just that since Ah Jing didn't say it, Liao Su didn't ask any more, and the two were silent for a few seconds.

Ah Jing glanced at the clock, the hour hand pointed to the middle of 10 and 11, and the minute hand pointed to the position of 10, she said: "Hey, it's eleven o'clock, aren't you sleeping yet?" ”

Liao Su also glanced at the clock, and saw that it was not yet 11 o'clock, so he replied: "It's not only ten o'clock, it's still early." ”

Ah Jing asked: "Aren't you tired from school all day, you have to go to Aunt Yang's side tomorrow, can you persevere, or don't go tomorrow, take a good rest." ”

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, the current study task is not very heavy, I think it's okay, Aunt Yang won't let me do heavy work." ”

Ah Jing asked again: "By the way, are you hungry, the night is still long, do you eat supper?" ”

Liao Su asked: "It's almost eleven o'clock, you still have to do it yourself, not afraid of trouble?" ”

Ah Jing laughed "poof" and said, "Poof...... Who said I was going to cook my own food? ”

Confused, he asked, "Huh?" Then I don't know how to cook......"

Ah Jing asked in a mocking tone, "Hey, you haven't learned anything after working at Aunt Yang's side for so long?" ”

"As far as I know, Aunt Yang's cooking skills are first-class, and there are few people in the entire Xicheng who can compare to Aunt Yang's skills."

"I thought you had been gone for so long and got the true inheritance of Aunt Yang, why didn't you even know how to cook?"

Liao Su thought that Ah Jing was very serious, he was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red instantly......
