At dinner, Zhang Huaiya and Yun Yuegu stayed here together and did not leave. Zhang Huaiya and Gu Jiajie were friends long before they became famous, Zhang Huaiya was not the thirteenth person of Yuding at that time, and Gu Jiajie was just an ordinary businessman, and he had not studied martial arts.

At that time, Gu Jiajie was in his early twenties, and Zhang Huaiya was over twenty-five years old, and he was a young man who had just debuted.

When Gu Jiajie was inspecting the project, he was coerced by a group of local underworld forces, and happened to meet Zhang Huaiya who was passing by. Afterwards, Gu Jiajie invited Zhang Huaiya to have a drink, and the two had a similar temper, hit it off, and became friends.

For many years after that, whenever Gu Jiajie went to the north, he would take time to meet Zhang Huaiya. Zhang Huaiya occasionally came to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, and would also visit Gu Jiajie. It's just that all of this has changed after Zhang Huaiya entered Yuding.

The original Yu Ding, in the north to recruit a large number of heroes in the rivers and lakes, bounty to hire martial arts masters to join, many northern rivers and lakes after getting the news, have to go, Zhang Huaiya is one of them.

However, Zhang Huaiya was not the first batch of people who took refuge in Yu Ding, when Yu Ding first recruited people, Zhang Huaiya had not caught up, and the first few groups of people who arrived first filled the quota. As for how Zhang Huaiya entered Yuding later, it was because of a leak.

The first few groups of people who entered Yuding, within less than a month of joining, most of them chose to leave, and the originally full places were empty again for a while. Yuding had no choice but to open the door and recruit people again, and Zhang Huaiya joined Yuding when he recruited people for the second time.

The first few batches of people who joined Yuding and left in less than a month, Zhang Huaiya didn't understand why those people left, until he entered Yuding and understood the situation, he didn't understand why.

Yu Ding's purpose is to suppress the martial artists in the rivers and lakes, claiming to prevent those who practice martial arts from violating the ban with martial arts and doing things that are not conducive to social security. But to suppress martial artists, you need martial artists, so Yu Ding will recruit martial artists from the rivers and lakes to join. At that time, the society was still very poor, and most people couldn't eat enough.

It's just that after those martial artists entered Yuding, Yuding explained to everyone the purpose of the company and what needs to be done. Although many martial artists are poor, they will not help Yu Ding suppress their colleagues because they are hungry, so many people leave after joining the company. However, there are many people who stay, after all, some people don't want to live a hard life.

Zhang Huaiya is one of those people who don't want to live a hard life, after learning the purpose of Yu Ding, he thought twice, still chose to stay in Yu Ding, and did his best, after more than ten years, he became one of the thirteen people of Yu Ding, and his hands were in charge of several northern provinces.

However, over the years, although Zhang Huaiya has acted in accordance with the instructions of his superiors everywhere, he has really never had a conflict with his colleagues who are not in Yuding, he compromised with Yuding in order to have enough to eat, and between Yuding and his colleagues in the rivers and lakes, he went back and forth to be a peacemaker, and got along harmoniously with many colleagues in his jurisdiction.

Since he handled the relationship well, Yu Ding's superiors also turned a blind eye, after all, they didn't have so much heart to target Zhang Huaiya's jurisdiction, and he was the thirteen people of Yu Ding, except for the four elders and the chairman of Yu Ding, no one dared to accuse him or say his gossip.

Some people may say that Zhang Huaiya, since he is an old friend of Gu Jiajie, a wealthy man in Jiangnan, why would he rather go to Yuding than go to Gu Jiajie? In fact, when people from the rivers and lakes come out to mix, it is nothing more than a face, how can he Zhang Huaiya be embarrassed to go to his former friend because he can't eat enough.

Since Zhang Huaiya took power in Yuding, he has rarely seen Gu Jiajie again, especially after Gu Jiajie participated in the once-in-a-decade martial arts competition and ranked among the top eight masters, the intersection between the two is even less. It's not that the friendship between the two is gone, but that both of them know that their respective positions now are no longer the positions of the little students and small Zhejiang merchants they were back then, and many things have become no longer convenient.

It was the last time the two met, it was when Gu Qinghui was just in junior high school, and that time they said goodbye to the north, and the two only talked on the phone a few times afterwards, and they never saw each other again. When Zhang Huaiya visited today, Gu Jiajie was in a happy mood, and ordered the kitchen to make a table full of meals, so that he and Zhang Huaiya would not get drunk or return.

It's just that Zhang Huaiya came this time, looking for friends is one of them, protecting the media is the second, and protecting the media is the top priority.

Gu Jiajie's business has been stable in the south, but it has been difficult to expand in the north, and the rest of the urban areas except Beijing have not made progress for many years. Kong Xianglong is the leading big man in Jinan, with power and wealth, and his industry is just the right match for Gu's Group's main business of textiles.

The Kong family has chain shopping malls and wholesale markets throughout Shandong, and the Gu Group has a steady stream of fine silk, which can be made into countless clothing and daily necessities. This time, Zhang Huaiya brought Kong Xianglong's daughter Kong Yanzhu over to help the two families talk about together, and strive to promote a marriage, so that the business of the two families can be taken to a higher level.

Gu Jiajie is grateful to Zhang Huaiya for his grace, Kong Xianglong is also grateful for Zhang Huaiya's adult beauty, the two characters in the north and the south who are rich and rich have long had the idea of an alliance, but they are trapped in the situation and have never had a chance, and now Zhang Huaiya can be a middleman, which is excellent for both parties.

In order to thank Zhang Huaiya and welcome old friends to visit, when he was about to have dinner, Gu Jiajie went to the wine cellar and took out a bottle of Moutai that he had treasured for many years. This Moutai was brewed by Moutai Distillery in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the quantity is limited, plus it has been treasured by Gu Jiajie for a long time, and now it can be sold for nearly 500,000 yuan if you take out a bottle casually.

Seeing Gu Jiajie take out such a good wine, Zhang Huaiya prevaricated: "Old Gu, what are you doing with such a good wine, it's a waste, what are we doing with these vain things." ”

Gu Jiajie smiled after hearing this, "I haven't seen you for many years, but you are here for the beauty of adults, this bottle of wine is worth it." ”

Zhang Huaiya was also in a good mood, took out a gourd from the bag he carried, held it up in front of the two of them, shook it, and said proudly: "Then drink two good wines today, you have Moutai, I have peach blossom brew, you drink mine, I drink yours, and drink it instead." ”

Yun Yue looked at Zhang Huaiya with disgust on the side, glanced at Gu Jiajie's wife, and smiled helplessly.

Gu Jiajie's wife's name is Qi Anqiao, and at this time, she looked at the gourd in Zhang Huaiya's hand and said with a smile: "The peach blossom brewed by Brother Zhang is not brewed by Miss Yun?"

Zhang Huaiya, who was holding a gourd with a smile on his face, glared at him and said, "Oh, my brother and sister even know about peach blossom brewing?"

Qi Anqiao, who had changed into a cheongsam and wore a big pearl necklace on his thumb, said with a smile: "The peach blossom brew of the peach blossom girl has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have been with your brother for so long, I have heard of it a long time ago." He said that he wanted to drink peach blossom brew many times, but the threshold for Miss Yun to sell wine was too high, and he never had time to buy it. ”

Gu Jiajie smiled, looked at Yun Yue, and said, "Miss Yun's wine-making skills are probably better than a few old guys in Moutai Distillery." ”

Yun Yue, who was praised, smiled modestly and replied, "Boss Gu said that he was laughing." ”

Amid laughter, the four of them sat down around a round mahogany dining table filled with a dazzling array of delicacies. Gu Jiajie took the gourd handed over by Zhang Huaiya, Zhang Huaiya also picked up the bottle of Moutai from the table, the two opened the wine stopper, and suddenly the aroma of vegetables and wine on the table mixed together and floated into the noses of the four people.

After Qi Anqiao sat down, he said, "I don't know where these two children went, and they haven't come back yet." The implication is that Gu Qinghui and Kong Yanzhu are two.

Gu Jiajie picked up the chopsticks and said, "Don't wait for them, let's eat." Zhang Huaiya smiled evilly and said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, it's a good thing that their young people get together and don't come back overnight." ”

Everyone understands the meaning of the words, probably a man and a woman, who have not returned for a night, and the marriage of the two is even more certain.

Qi Anqiao looked at Zhang Huaiya and quipped: "You have really been a bachelor for a long time, and you even make jokes about children." ”

Zhang Huaiya laughed when he heard this, Gu Jiajie also laughed, and the two of them each poured a glass of wine and drank it up.

Gu Jiajie put down the wine glass and said with admiration: "Good wine! Sweet and delicious, and the charm of a lot of spirits, it is really a good wine!"

Zhang Huaiya, who put down the wine glass, said: "That's it, I just have such a pot left, I'll bring it to you, next time I want to drink it, just wait for next year..."

Two friends for many years have been drinking and eating at the same time, chatting from youth to the present, from the north to the south, from the shopping mall to the rivers and lakes.

Yun Yue didn't say a word, silently picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish, Qi Anqiao didn't care about the two men, and ate with Yun Yue, and the women chatted about women.

Halfway through the meal, the housekeeper hurried over, stood down by the pillar not far away, and called softly: "Mr. Gu, someone is looking for you." ”

Gu Jiajie's face was a little unhappy, he looked at the housekeeper and said, "Don't you see us eating?" The Gu family has a rule that the master is not allowed to be disturbed when he is eating, and no matter what happens, he must put it until after the meal. Because there are too many trivial things in the Gu family, they often delay eating because of this, so Gu Jiajie set a rule that when eating, no matter what happens, he must put it aside first.

The housekeeper naturally will not forget this rule, if it is not really something, he will never come to disturb the master's meal.

Some nervous housekeepers recalled Jiajie and said, "The person who came said that his surname was Shi, and there was a bald monk." ”

Gu Jiajie, who had just turned his head, hurriedly turned his face again, looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Where is the surname Shi?"

"It's in the middle of the courtyard. The butler replied truthfully.

Gu Jiajie hurriedly got up, "Quick, take me over." Then he looked at Zhang Huaiya and Yun Yue and said apologetically, "I'll miss it." ”

After saying that, he got up and hurried out of the restaurant with the butler, leaving only the three of them sitting at the table. Qi Anqiao said unhappily: "Can't you wait, there are still distinguished guests here." ”

Zhang Huaiya waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Lao Gu is busy with business, I understand, it's just that the housekeeper just now said that the person who came was surnamed Shi, and there was a bald head, I guess, this should be Shi Youen and Mingxin monks, right?"

"Who does it matter, what's wrong with the eight masters? You can't disturb people eating, right? It's really rude. Qi Anqiao was a little angry, and the piece of meat held by the chopsticks was pressed into the bowl.

Yun Yue's expression was like a smile, looking at the dishes on the table, not knowing what she was thinking. Zhang Huaiya, who drank a few glasses of wine by himself, suddenly said to Qi Anqiao: "Brother and sister, you go and talk to Lao Gu, you are all guests, then have a meal together, anyway, there are many dishes to sit on, so bring them in." ”

Qi Anqiao said dissatisfiedly: "What do you tell them to do, just let the kitchen cook some for them." ”

Zhang Huaiya was dumbfounded, and got up helplessly, "Then I'll go." ”

"Don't. Qi Anqiao put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll call it, you guys are really, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have to be brought to the dinner table." ”

Zhang Huaiya smiled and sat down again, no longer speaking. Qi An straightened his clothes, looked at Zhang Huaiya and said, "Don't fight." ”

Yun Yuesu, who had been silent, looked at the saucer and suddenly whispered, "No, don't worry." ”
