Lu Xiaozhan became happy when he heard this voice. When he turned around, he saw that it was Liu Taiyuan who was the host today. He was wearing a long black windbreaker and a white scarf hanging around his neck, which looked a bit like the 1920s and 1930s.
"Hey, Brother Taiyuan is dressed very handsomely today. Are you planning to go on a blind date?" Lu Xiaozhan looked Liu Taiyuan up and down and teased.
Liu Taiyuan pretended to be disappointed and sighed: "Isn't that right? An Qi doesn't like me. What else can I do if I don't go on a blind date?" After speaking, he laughed loudly, patted Lu Xiaozhan on the shoulder and said, "I said you
Why are you blocked outside the door? Why do you care about such a scornful boy? Why don't you just kick him away?"
Lu Xiaozhan smiled and said: "This is Chunyang, how can I dare to run wild on your brother Taiyuan's land?"
The two of them were laughing and chatting here, but the male greeter on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale, he kept shaking, and said to Liu Taiyuan tremblingly: "Brother Prince is right, I have dog eyes, I really have dog eyes, I don't know
This man is your friend... I'm sorry." As long as they are born and raised in Chunyang City, almost everyone knows that Liu Taiyuan is the only son of the Timber Emperor of the Three Eastern Provinces, and he also controls the largest underground mine in the entire Eastern Three Provinces.
If anyone offends the father and son, they may not be able to see the sun tomorrow. Even the police in Chunyang can't do anything to them, let alone a small hotel receptionist like him?
At this time, even the hotel manager rushed over after hearing the news. He walked up to him without saying a word, smacked the male receptionist in the face with a big ear scraper, and then said to the security guards following behind him: "Take this
Peel the kid clean and throw it into the river."
They were dealing with internal affairs here. Liu Taiyuan didn't even glance at it. He was still talking to Lu Xiaozhan with a smile. On the contrary, Lu Xiaozhan couldn't bear it. He raised his hand to stop him and said slowly: "Wait a minute, I will
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Brother Taiyuan. It’s rare that we meet up for a meal, so don’t do anything wrong to us.” In this winter, if this skinny boy is thrown into the river, he will definitely not survive. After all,
This guy is just a bit powerful, there is no need to really kill people.
Although the hotel manager knew that Lu Xiaozhan was Liu Taiyuan's guest, he didn't know what their relationship was. After hearing what Lu Xiaozhan said, he couldn't help but hesitate and looked at Liu Taiyuan.
Liu Taiyuan waved his hand: "He is my friend, and whatever he says is what he says."
The hotel manager secretly said, looking at the entire Chunyang City, there were only a few people that Prince Liu could personally say were his friends. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiaozhan again, but saw that he was wearing clothes of an unknown brand.
The clothes were not old, and there was still mud everywhere on the trouser legs and shoes. He looked like a rural youth who had just come out of the ravine. The manager, who was also considered to have met many people, had a faint twitch on his face, and said to himself: "It's not surprising.
That boy made the prince angry, just because of his dress, I would have to attack him too!"
Regardless of how the hotel manager dealt with the indifferent male receptionist in the end, Liu Taiyuan smiled to himself as he pulled Lu Xiaozhan inside, while Dong Shu followed closely behind him, acting like a secretary.
Arriving at the booked private room, Lu Xiaozhan was surprised for a while. Not only did this hotel have a grand appearance, but the interior of the private room was also magnificently decorated. A huge crystal chandelier above the head illuminated the whole room with a golden light.
Standing at the door and looking in, if there wasn't a dining table in the middle, no one would believe that this was just a place to eat.
Liu Taiyuan pulled Lu Xiaozhan into his seat and pointed to the box with a smile: "How about Xiaozhan? This hotel is good?"
Lu Xiaozhan sat down and finally came to his senses, but he curled his lips and said: "It's hard to say now. Whether a hotel is good or not depends not only on the decoration, but also on the quality of its food."
In fact, the Liu family is the investor behind this luxurious hotel. In addition to doing normal business, it is also a special place used by Liu Shanxi to win over dignitaries from the three eastern provinces. Although it has not been open for a long time, it has already opened in Chunyang City.
It's because of his reputation. Liu Taiyuan knew that Lu Xiaozhan's family also owned a restaurant, and it seemed that he was doing well in Tianhai City. Inviting him here today was a bit of a show off and a blow, but he didn't expect that although Lu Xiaozhan was a little a little nervous when he walked in.
He was in a daze, but now he said something like this. No matter how well-controlled he was, his face looked a little embarrassed.
"Well... let's wait until the food is served and then study it." Liu Taiyuan was relatively rational in the end. He suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart and still said with a smile. Anyway, we should wait until the food is served. He didn't believe that Lu Xiaozhan's tongue could still be used.
It's such a big deal, you have to know that he spent a lot of money to recruit the chef of this hotel from abroad. He is a serious French chef. If nothing else, I'm afraid there really isn't any restaurant in Chunyang.
The decoration and dishes are comparable to my own store.
While waiting for the food to be served, the two continued to chat. Liu Taiyuan wanted to test Lu Xiaozhan's motives for coming to Chunyang. Of course, Lu Xiaozhan couldn't let him know that he was here to deal with them. Come on.
After I said some nonsense to the ground, Liu Taiyuan found that nothing seemed to be found, and he couldn't help but become a little suspicious.
Lu Xiaozhan suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Taiyuan, can you please don't look at me like I'm guarding against thieves? I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I have no other intention of coming back to Chunyang, I just want to open a small shop here to make a living.
Just eat."
Liu Taiyuan was stunned for a moment: "Open a store? What kind of store?"
Lu Xiaozhan patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, of course I won't compete with your Liu family for business. I don't understand wood... I came here just to open a restaurant. Oh yes, I should say it's a serious business."
Dining room."
Liu Taiyuan was stunned again: "Restaurant? You came all the way from Tianhai to Chunyang, and you didn't even go to college, just to open a restaurant here? What are you doing here?" With his words
Personally, he would never believe what Lu Xiaozhan said about opening a store, but he couldn't guess why Lu Xiaozhan came to Chunyang.
Lu Xiaozhan said seriously: "Brother Taiyuan, you are from Chunyang City, don't you know how big the business opportunities are here? Chunyang is one of the best metropolises in China, and it is geographically close to Russia. It can be said that here
Opening a Western restaurant is the most promising business. Our family has always been engaged in Western food, so what’s wrong with opening a Western restaurant here? The Tianhai restaurant is already famous anyway, so let’s continue to make money there.
Yes, don’t you think so?”
Liu Taiyuan was still confused by his long words. Lu Xiaozhan reached out to Dong Shu again to get the store transfer agreement that he had just signed today, put it in front of Liu Taiyuan, and said proudly: "We work efficiently.
How's it going? I've found the place, and the territory is not much smaller than here."
The location, area, and all the kitchen equipment and utensils included in the transfer fee were clearly written in black and white. Liu Taiyuan finally believed it. No matter what Lu Xiaozhan had in mind, at least he was really preparing to do so in the spring.
Yang opened a restaurant. In fact, Liu Taiyuan hated Lu Xiaozhan from the bottom of his heart. Firstly, it was because An Qi, whom he had loved for many years, became his fiancée early. Secondly, he lost his age at the freshman assembly that day.
Liu Taiyuan, who grew up as a prince since childhood, has always had a strong sense of superiority, but he fell into trouble with Lu Xiaozhan twice. Therefore, although he pretended to be friendly and approachable on the outside, he often thought about it in his heart.
I have to take revenge for this.
But this agreement made it clear to him another fact that made him unhappy. From now on, Lu Xiaozhan, the number one enemy, would take root under his nose.
Liu Taiyuan's mind was spinning. His eyes only flickered for a moment before returning to normal. He still said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, I will definitely come to support you when your restaurant opens!"
Lu Xiaozhan chuckled: "That's for sure. Your Taiyuan brother is a local leader here. Without your help, I might not be able to do this business."
The two of them were talking and their dishes started to be served. Lu Xiaozhan had been busy all day today and was so hungry that his stomach was growling. He was not polite to Liu Taiyuan, so he picked up the soup that had just been served and went to the restaurant.
Deliver by mouth.
"Huh?" Just when he took the first sip of soup, Lu Xiaozhan suddenly stopped, obviously stunned for a moment, smacked his lips, took another sip, tasted it carefully, and slapped Liu Taiyuan on the shoulder.
He praised, "Brother Taiyuan, your cooking skills are really good! You can taste the pure French flavor in just one soup."
Liu Taiyuan's face finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, and he said proudly: "Of course, I invited the chef here from abroad, and he has won awards in international competitions."
Lu Xiaozhan didn't mind that he was showing off and boasting there, and then tasted the salad and main dishes, eating one and the other. In the end, he ate all the soup and vegetables, not even the desserts. Dong Shu was still taking a sip next to him.
She ate slowly, and when she saw that he looked starved to death, she couldn't help but hold back a smile, took the tablecloth, wiped his mouth, and said, "How many days have you not eaten? Look how hungry you are."
Liu Taiyuan also laughed and said: "If you think it's not enough, just add more, otherwise I'd like to treat you to a meal, but if you're not full, then it's my fault." After that, he added in a show off.
One sentence: "How is it? The food here is of high quality?"
Lu Xiaozhan waved his hand, burped and said, "No need, Tim. I was very hungry just now, so I thought this stuff was good... This taste is actually just like this, it's barely good."
This time Liu Taiyuan was really feeling a little uncomfortable. Almost everyone who came here to eat said good things about the chef he hired at a huge price, but Lu Xiaozhan was the only one to say such a thing, and he listened to his words.
The meaning seems to be that because I invited him to this meal, he just gave me face and didn't say anything bad.
Liu Taiyuan suppressed the irritation and anger in his heart, deliberately changed the topic and asked: "By the way, you open a restaurant here, then who is your chef?"
Lu Xiaozhan waved his hand: "Not sure yet."
Liu Taiyuan almost laughed: "Not sure? You don't even have a cook, how can you open a restaurant?"
