Since Fan Jinyou was dismissed and Xu Huizhen regained control of the tavern, she has been strict about the quality of the drinks.

And the waiters in the tavern are strictly required not to beat customers without reason.

With its mellow old wine and excellent service attitude, the tavern has quickly become the first choice for drinkers in the capital.

Rich regular customers can order a few bottles of old wine in the private room upstairs, ask the waiter to serve a few plates of good food, and have a good time with friends over wine.

If you are reluctant to spend money, you can also ask the waiter to bring you old wine, squat in the lobby, eat peanuts, and have a delicious meal.

This is not the case.

The sun hasn't set yet, and there are a lot of guests in front of the tavern.

Li Weidong rode his bicycle and came to the tavern in the faint sunset.

The tavern has a simple facade, and a huge plaque reads "Under Zhengyang Gate", which instantly makes people feel the unique charm of the old capital.

The proprietress Xu Huizhen stood in front of the door to greet the guests. The fiery red sunset fell on her fair cheeks, adding a bit of charm to her.

Seeing Li Weidong coming over, Xu Hui's eyes really lit up and she called to the waiter inside: "Xiao Liu, help me greet the guests."

Xiao Liu came out and saw Li Weidong, and immediately smiled and said: "Sister Xu, go ahead, I'm here!"

Xiao Liu is also an old employee of the tavern.

At that time, Fan Jinyou was domineering in the tavern and made the tavern a mess. It was Li Weidong who stepped in to drive Fan Jinyou away. The waiters all had a good impression of Li Weidong.

It's just that Li Weidong is already married, otherwise he and the proprietress Fan Jinyou would be a perfect match.

Seeing that there were many people outside, Xu Huizhen pulled Li Weidong into the warehouse behind the tavern.

After closing the door and turning on the light, Xu Huizhen couldn't help her eagerness and fell into Li Weidong's arms.

"Brother Wei Dong, where have you been these days? Why have you been avoiding me? You don't know how much I miss you."

Li Weidong stroked Xu Huizhen's hair and laughed dumbly.

The last time he came to the tavern was just over a month ago.

How long has it been? Xu Huizhen couldn't bear it anymore.

Women are like a bundle of firewood. Once lit, there is no way to extinguish it.

"I've been busy these days. As you know, the poverty alleviation workshop has expanded again and encountered some troubles."

Li Weidong raised and lowered his hands.

"Trouble?" Xu Huizhen raised her head, pressed Li Weidong's chin, and whispered: "Can you tell me what trouble you have encountered?"

The tavern is now a famous tavern in the capital. Sometimes it is hard to find a place. It is also the first choice place for young people to hold wedding banquets. As many well-known guests often ask Xu Huizhen to have wedding banquets in the tavern.

Xu Huizhen is very sophisticated in dealing with people. She quickly turned these needs into resources and established good relationships with those people. It can be said that Xu Huizhen has established a huge network of relationships in the capital by relying on the tavern.

Of course, Xu Huizhen knew the principle of using favors sparingly and would not use the network casually. However, when she heard that Li Weidong was in trouble, she immediately expressed her willingness to help without hesitation.

But, is Li Weidong the kind of person who eats soft food?

"It's okay, it's been solved."

"Since everything is fine, you said you would come over in the next few days?" Xu Huizhen smacked his face.

Li Weidong chuckled: "How about two weeks?"

"No, two weeks is too long, I can't help it." Xu Huizhen tilted her head and thought for a while, nodded and said: "One week, from now on you have to go to the tavern to meet me once a week. Yes.

Otherwise, I won’t let you out today.”

"Okay, okay" Facing the powerful female middle school student Xu Huizhen, Li Weidong could only raise his hands and surrender.

"Counting from now on."

Xu Huizhen said this with a blushing face and reached out to pull out the light cord.

It was dark inside the warehouse.

Half an hour later.

Li Weidong walked out of the warehouse refreshed and was about to walk upstairs when he suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Xu Huizhen: "Is there a gay man named Liu Guangqi who has reserved a private room in your pub?"

"Is Liu Guangqi thin and tall? When he talks, he has an arrogant attitude and doesn't like to look at people seriously."

"Yes, that's him."

"It turns out he invited you, no wonder he ordered so many dishes." Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said with a smile, "If I had known he was your friend, I would have given him a 20% discount."

As the manager of the tavern, Xu Huizhen has the authority to discount.

"It's okay, I'm not familiar with him." Of course Li Weidong would not save money for Liu Haizhong.

Besides, when Liu Guangqi invited him to dinner, he must have something to ask for.

"That's good." Xu Huizhen was originally worried that Li Weidong would be angry because she had offended Liu Guangqi, but she felt relieved when she heard this.

She pointed to the stairs and said: "The private room is at the end of the second floor. It's secluded. But you should drink less. Drinking too much is not good for your health."

"Okay, okay, it's really verbose."

"It's just verbose."

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly, made a gesture of assurance towards Xu Huizhen, and strode up to the second floor.

In the private room on the second floor at this time.

Liu Guangqi looked at the table of dishes with a sad expression.

This table of dishes cost him fifty yuan, plus two jugs of old wine, the total cost was fifty-three yuan.

This is equivalent to his two months' salary.

Once the money is spent, as long as things can be done, that's fine.

The key is that it is almost seven o'clock in the evening and Li Weidong has not been seen yet.

If Li Weidong is really busy and doesn't come to the banquet, he will be blind.

Next to her, Huang Chunlan was also a little anxious.

In order to face Li Weidong in the best condition, she used all the cream she bought at a great price, sprinkled powder on her body, put tung oil on her hair, and put on the most beautiful clothes.

It can be said that Huang Chunlan has never been so active in her life.

but.

The real master was nowhere to be seen.

Huang Chunlan frowned and looked up at Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, you're not deceiving me, are you?"

"How is that possible! My aunt, you still don't know me, Liu Guangqi." Liu Guangqi patted his chest and said, "You asked me to go east, but I didn't dare to go west. How dare I lie to you!"

"Then why hasn't Li Weidong come yet?"

"But, maybe he was busy with something, which delayed his time." Liu Guangqi explained: "He is a big director, how can he be as free as a small worker like us, who can take care of everything every day."

While he was talking, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Liu Guangqi stood up suddenly and stared at the door. When he saw that the person who came in was Li Weidong, Liu Guangqi let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Wei Dong, you are finally here."

It stands to reason that Liu Guangqi is more than a year older than Li Weidong, so he should call Li Weidong his younger brother, but now that he is the chief director, and he still has things to ask of him, this "younger brother" cannot be called out no matter what.

Li Weidong laughed, strode over, and shook hands with Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, you didn't tell me when you came back, so I could take care of you."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Guangqi was so moved that he almost shed tears.

He and Li Weidong have indeed been old friends since childhood, but when they were young, because Li Weidong's father was away from home all year round, he was often bullied by other children in the courtyard.

Liu Guangqi was the eldest son of the second uncle of the courtyard. With Liu Haizhong's power and his age, he naturally became the leader of the children.

Instead of stopping the children from bullying Liu Weidong, he took the lead in bullying Li Weidong and was best at putting the blame on Li Weidong after doing bad things.

I remember one time, Liu Guangqi was mischievous and hit the backyard with bricks, accidentally breaking the glass of the old deaf lady's house.

At that time, the deaf old lady was still very young and had a very bad temper. Anyone who dared to disturb her would be beaten with a few sticks. In more serious cases, the parents would be called.

Facing the aggressive deaf old lady, Liu Guangqi calmly pushed Li Weidong out, claiming that it was Li Weidong who broke the glass.

Li Weidong must have denied it on the spot, but with Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao testifying beside him, the deaf old lady did not believe Li Weidong's words. Not only did she beat Li Weidong severely with a stick, but she also took Li Weidong's collar to find Li's father and asked him for something.

Glass money.

At that time, domestic materials were scarce, and there were few glass factories in the entire capital. A piece of glass cost two yuan.

Father Li gritted his teeth and paid the money to the deaf old lady, but he did not scold Li Weidong. He believed Li Weidong's words.

There were many more things like this. The more times they happened, the more Li Weidong gradually alienated Liu Guangqi.

Now that Li Weidong doesn't care about what happened back then, how can Liu Guangqi be unhappy?

"Brother Wei Dong, you are worthy of doing great things. You have a lot of people!"

"Oh, Guangqi, we are all from the same compound, so we must help each other."
