Chapter 180: Is It Really a Dinner?
It's hard to resist hospitality.
Xu Tongdao didn't want to accept Mr. Zhang's invitation, he decided to help Mr. Zhang, but he didn't want to do anything, it was because he admired Mr. Zhang's filial piety to his old mother that he Xu Tongdao was willing to help the other party.
Moreover, he didn't help much, he just got up early and made a steamed mutton dumpling for the other party, that's all.
But Mr. Zhang came over to have dinner with him tomorrow at noon, and he was very sincere.
Again and again.
Xu Tongdao couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Seeing that Xu Tongdao finally agreed, Mr. Zhang was very happy.
After Mr. Zhang drove away, when Xu Tongdao went back to continue eating the working meal, Ge Lianghua and the others talked nonsense.
Huang Mei: "Alas, I didn't expect that old lady to leave in the end, alas! It seems that this person, no matter whether the family has money or not, when it is time to die, he still has to die, but it's a pity ......."
Cao Min: "Yes, the old lady looks very good, and her two sons are also filial, which is indeed a pity." β
Ge Lianghua: "Hey, Xiaodao, this Mr. Zhang...... He'll invite you to dinner alone tomorrow, huh?"
Xu Tonglin echoed: "Can you take me one? I want to go too, hehe." β
Xu Tongdao gave the two of them a look with a calm expression and let them understand for themselves.
At one o'clock in the morning that day, when the store was closed, Xu Tongdao wanted to go to Wu Yali to have a look.
He thought that since she asked not to see each other again before the beginning of spring, it meant that if he went to her again during this time, the secret she wanted to hide would probably be exposed.
So, if he went to her house tonight, it would be possible to find the answer.
However, Xu Tongdao temporarily dispelled this idea.
He wasn't afraid of discovering a secret he couldn't accept, he just wanted to wait another week or two, wait for her to let her guard down, and then take a look.
At that time, if she really hides something that he can't let know, it should be exposed in front of his eyes.
......
It was nearly noon the next day.
At about a little more than 11 o'clock, Mr. Zhang's Mercedes-Benz came to the door of Xu Tongdao's store as promised, and Xu Tongdao had been waiting in the store for some time.
When he saw his car coming, he was not hypocritical, and immediately walked out and closed the store.
Today's driver is not Mr. Zhang himself, but a driver in his thirties with skilled driving skills.
Xu Tongdao and Mr. Zhang sat side by side in the back seat, and after getting into the car, Xu Tongdao said a few kind words, which were nothing more than that: Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, you really don't need to invite me to dinner...... Something like that.
And Mr. Zhang's response was also expected by Xu Tongdao, saying: It's just a meal, it's just a little bit of my mind, and the little master doesn't have to care too much.
Wait a minute.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, Mr. Zhang suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his hand and pressed his temple, laughed twice, took out a business card case from his arms, opened it, took out a business card, and handed it to Xu Tongdao with both hands with a smile.
"Little master, speaking of which, we've known each other for some days, but until now, we still don't know each other's names! β
Brother?
Xu Tongdao took the business card he handed over with both hands and glanced down.
ββZhang Sheng, general manager of Zhiweixuan restaurant chain company.
Below are two strings of phone numbers, one is a landline number and the other is a mobile phone number.
Zhang Fa ......
This name surprised Xu Tongdao a little, and his first impression was that this name was quite ordinary, and after a careful taste, he thought it was quite interesting.
The word "happens" is used as a name.
"I don't know what you call it, little master!"
Zhang Sheng's voice came from beside him.
Xu Tongdao raised his eyes and smiled at him, "Xu Tongdao, double Xu, sympathetic Tong, Dao of the road, but I don't have a business card, and I don't have a phone, I'm sorry." β
"Xu Tongdao? Hmm, good name! Not bad, really good!"
Zhang Sheng laughed and praised hard, and after complimenting, he said: "There is no need to apologize without business cards and phone numbers! By the way, I don't know who you learned the craft of making the whole sheep banquet from? Is it also an ancestral inheritance? Oh, by the way, can I call you a fellow Dao?"
While talking, the car drove smoothly on the streets of the county seat.
Xu Tongdao didn't know where they took him to eat, and in line with the principle of following the host, he didn't ask.
Regarding the question asked by Zhang Sheng, Xu Tongdao thought that Zhang Zheng was just trying not to make the atmosphere in the car too dull, and deliberately found a topic to chat with him.
So, he replied very relaxedly, "Well, yes, otherwise how could I make a whole sheep feast at my age?"
He's lying again.
But he doesn't feel sorry, he just thinks that there is a high probability that he and Zhang will not have any intersection in the future, and today's meal is Zhang Cheng's thank you banquet for him, and it should also be a casual meal.
Eat and you're done.
Therefore, he didn't bother to make up other excuses, since Zhang had already thought of an answer for him, then he would give him this answer!
Zhang Cheng bowed slightly, smiled, and did not doubt.
"Not bad, not bad! The ancestral craftsmanship is good, no wonder you did so well in the whole sheep banquet, by the way, fellow Dao......! Is it yours?"
"Well, yes! I partnered with my brother. β
Xu Tongdao replied, thinking that he should be humble.
"Oh, that's it, no wonder you're doing me a favor!"
......
Not long ago, Xu Tongdao felt that something was wrong, the Mercedes-Benz car that happened had already driven out of the county, the speed had more than doubled, and it was speeding on the main road.
Noticing the scenery outside the window that was constantly being thrown behind, Xu Tongdao frowned, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and pretended to ask casually: "Hey, no, Mr. Zhang, we have already left the county, right?
"Of course not! Hehe, the grade of a small county town in Shazhou is too low, I will take you to the city and take you to my shop to eat! You can rest assured! I know you still have to do business at night, so I will definitely send you back in the afternoon, you don't have to worry about this!"
When Zhang Cheng said these words, his tone and expression, Xu Tongdao didn't see anything unusual.
At this time, all kinds of thoughts in Xu Tongdao's mind were spinning, speculating whether Zhang Cheng's words were true or false?
Do you really want to invite me to dinner and thank you?
Or is there some other purpose?
Soon, Xu Tongdao's heart was settled.
Because after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason why Zhang Cheng wanted to harm him.
The most important thing is that even if this Zhang Zheng really wants to be unfavorable to him, there is no need to come forward in person and share the same car with him.
Xu Tongdao still remembers that the first time Zhang Cheng came to his store to eat a whole sheep banquet, it was the big boss of the hungry wolf legend "Golden Buddha" who waited for Jin Biao to lead him to his store.
Hou Jinbiao's identity, he has already determined.
Therefore, Zhang is a rich man, and there should be no doubt.
If Zhang really wanted to be unfavorable to him, he should not come forward and take action in person.
