Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in.
"If I remember correctly, you should be...Mr. Ming, right?"
"Yes, it's me. Mr. Dao has a good memory!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare you call me 'Master' in front of Mr. Ming? You should just call me Daozai as before."
Li Qiang smiled after hearing this, "If you are still the same Chen Daozai, then it doesn't matter what you call him, but now that you are the boss of Lichi Garden, you can't call him casually. No matter what, you have to
Let me call you Boss Chen, what do you think?"
"Okay then!" Having said this, Chen Daozai paused, and then continued to ask, "I just don't know why you are here, Mr. Ming..."
"Oh, it's like this. I have an appointment with an important guest to meet you at your place tonight, so I came over in advance to say hello."
"Important guest?"
"That's right." After saying that, Li Qiang lowered his voice and whispered to him.
"Is this true?" It's okay that Chen Daozai didn't listen. After hearing Li Qiang's words, he immediately opened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
After receiving a positive reply from Li Qiang, he immediately nodded and agreed without saying anything.
When Li Qiang came down from upstairs, the downstairs was already crowded and very lively.
After meeting Haitang, the two went straight to the private room that Hong Zhong helped reserve.
It didn't take long, and Li Weigong, who was all wrapped up tightly, led Du Yuesheng, who was dressed almost the same as him, to walk in.
As soon as he saw the two people coming in, Li Qiang, who was still sitting on the sofa tasting the red wine in his glass, immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile.
Although Li Weigong was a little unhappy when he saw this, he just frowned, and then immediately entered the role and introduced to Du Yuesheng beside him: "Boss Du, this little brother I mentioned to you, Mingqiang. Don't look at him.
Even though he is not very old, he is still very comfortable in the new government."
Li Weigong was very enthusiastic about the introduction, but he didn't know that the two of them actually knew each other, and the reason why Du Yuesheng agreed to come and meet was naturally not because of Li Weigong's reputation.
But even so, the superficial skills still need to be in place, so Du Yuesheng smiled and said: "Oh, so you are the brother Aqiang that Professor Li often talks about. When I saw you today, you are indeed a talented person!"
"No, no, Boss Du, you really praise me so much. I have admired your name for a long time. Today I finally got what I wanted and saw a living person. It's not easy, it's not easy!"
As soon as these words came out, Du Yuesheng was okay, but Li Weigong on the side couldn't help but his old face sank, "Tsk, what you said, okay, sit down!"
Only then did Li Qiang react, "Ah, yes, yes, come on, sit down, sit down..."
After entering the door, Du Yuesheng noticed Haitang behind Li Qiang, so after sitting down, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this?"
"Gu Haitang, my newlywed wife, the daughter of Chairman Gu of the Quanye Chamber of Commerce."
"Really? Then I have to congratulate you two on your wedding. I have to say that you two are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven!"
"Thank you, Haitang. Why don't you give Boss Du a drink?"
Before she finished speaking, Haitang hurriedly responded, but before she could get up, she was stopped by Li Weigong, "Wait a minute, what's the matter with you, Aqiang? Why did you suddenly start a toast?"
Li Qiang said "Oh", but then he asked Haitang to push a trolley filled with all kinds of foreign wines, and said to Du Yuesheng in a show-off manner: "Boss Du, this is the first time we meet, and I don't know your taste.
So I ordered all their most expensive foreign wines. Even you must have never seen such a scene, right? You can do whatever you want, but don’t be polite to me."
"You!" It was a good thing that Li Weigong didn't listen. When Li Qiang said this, he was so angry that he even started to regret it in his heart.
However, Du Yuesheng laughed loudly, "I didn't expect Brother Aqiang to be a real person. Don't tell me, this is the first time I have seen so many expensive foreign wines piled together. It is indeed shocking."
"As long as you like it, Haitang, why are you standing there? Why don't you help Boss Du pour the wine?"
The more Li Weigong watched, the angrier he became, so he simply stopped talking and watched Li Qiang's "performance" with cold eyes. He saw that although Du Yuesheng was kind on the surface, every time Li Qiang was about to ask for help, he would either cleverly
The topic changed, or he just talked about it, and he couldn't help but feel funny.
In this way, the two of them played "Tai Chi" for half an hour, and then Li Qiang finally said directly to Du Yuesheng: "Boss Du, we have almost drank this wine, can we talk about business?"
As soon as these words came out, Du Yuesheng was stunned, "Aren't we always talking about business?"
"Those are just some superficial words. To tell you the truth, I am here to ask for help from you this time. If I had not reached the point of desperation, I would not go around asking for connections to see you. You must definitely help me!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into an awkward silence as if someone had pressed the mute button.
After a long while, Du Yuesheng came back to his senses and said: "Ah, it's easy to talk, it's the so-called foundation of happiness in helping others! Professor Li introduced us to each other today and we all got to know each other. Don't worry, for his sake,
I will definitely try my best to help you with this."
"Really?" Hearing this, Li Qiang jumped up from the sofa and held Du Yuesheng's hand tightly across Li Weigong, "Oh my god, Boss Du, how can I be like you?"
It’s such an honor for me to meet such a great person!”
After saying that, he turned to Haitang, who was still there pouring a drink for himself, and said: "Begonia, stop drinking, go! Pay the bill, pay the bill..."
However, before Haitang put down the wine glass, Du Yuesheng waved his hand and said: "No need, I have already finished the order."
"Ah?" Li Qiang couldn't help but was startled after hearing this, "I haven't seen you go out yet? How come..."
"Is it necessary to go out for such a small thing as shopping? I heard from Professor Li that you are coming to Hong Kong for a wedding trip this time. As they say, you are a guest from afar, so I am doing my best to give it to you two as a landlord.
The wedding gift is ready."
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang not only showed no appreciation, but also showed a hint of displeasure and said with dissatisfaction: "Oh, Mr. Du, how could you do this? You look down on my brother, don't you?"
As soon as these words came out, even Du Yuesheng, who had always been pleasant and cheerful, felt a little unhappy, "What do you call this? How can it be so serious?"
However, Li Qiang still didn't notice the subtle changes on his face, and said to himself: "No matter what, I can't let you spend this money. Brother, although I have encountered difficulties, I can still buy this order."
It's up. Since I made the appointment with you, I should be the one to pay for this. But in the end, you paid for it. This... isn't this a slap in my face? "
"Ah Qiang!" Li Weigong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a deep voice with a livid face, "Since Boss Du has bought the order, don't be so reluctant, next time! Next time!
Secondly, if you have the opportunity, it’s not too late for you to express your feelings properly!”
Du Yuesheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Well, if there is a chance, there must be a chance."
"Look, look, Boss Du is really worthy of being a big shot in Shanghai. He even pays bills so well. He is really worthy of being a person who does great things!" Speaking of this, Li Qiang deliberately lowered his voice and was mysterious.
He said quietly: "Well, how about I invite you two to take a bath? Boss Du, you must give me a favor!"
Du Yuesheng smiled and said, "Little brother, it seems you still don't understand me. Mr. Du never bathes outside, let alone that kind of hobby."
"Oops, Boss Du, you misunderstood. I am talking about regular bathing. Since you have been taking baths at home, it is even more necessary for me to take you to try it. I heard that a bathhouse has just added a new bath.
A sauna service. After the steam, everyone feels comfortable. Moreover, everyone is naked there. You look at me and I look at you. I think this is what the ancients said that everyone is equal and can be honest with each other.
Come on! You can say whatever you want. With this body, you are not afraid of being bugged."
"Well, it seems that I misunderstood you. I have only heard of people who are addicted to smoking and people who are addicted to alcohol. I have never heard of anyone who likes to take a bath like you, little brother. It seems that I am ignorant.
Well, after all, I’m still old and can’t keep up with the times.”
"Look at what you said. If you are old, how can I expect you to help me?"
Li Qiang wanted to fight for it again, but was directly interrupted by Li Weigong, "Okay, okay! I think it's almost done today. Ah Qiang, please stop making nonsense. Boss Du doesn't have that time."
That’s it!”
"This...Mr. Li, no, don't be angry!"
"No, I'm not angry. In this case, there is still something to do at the school, so I will leave first. Don't you and Boss Du also know each other? From now on, if you have anything to do, please contact me directly, so I don't have to be in the middle all the time.
,OK?"
"Mr. Li, look at what you said, you...are you really not angry with me?"
"No, of course not." He stood up and said, "How about you guys talk for a while longer, and I'll go back first."
Seeing that Li Weigong was really about to leave, Li Qiang hurriedly said attentively: "In this case, Mr. Li, I will call a car for you."
However, before he finished speaking, Du Yuesheng also stood up and said: "No, no, no, Professor Li, let me deliver it to you! Little brother, since we have gotten to know each other today, we just need to keep in touch with each other in the future. I welcome you to my place at any time."
Sit down, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely pay you a visit some other day. Then I'll see you off..."
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door. The sudden change immediately made Li Weigong and Du Yuesheng nervous at the same time, and they couldn't help but look at each other quickly.
However, before the two of them could figure out the situation, Li Qiang had already opened the door and let the person in.
As soon as Chen Daozai entered the door, he went straight to Du Yuesheng, nodded and bowed and said: "Boss, I really didn't expect you to come here. This is your first time here since I took over this place when I was young. I don't know what you think of this place."
Are you satisfied with the environment, drinks and service?”
Although he was very unhappy at the sudden appearance of his subordinates, Du Yuesheng looked calm on the surface, "Oh, Professor Li, little brother Aqiang, I won't hide it from you now, let me introduce it to you.
,This is Chen Daozai, the new boss of Lichi Garden."
Before he finished speaking, Li Weigong hurriedly said: "I have long heard that Boss Chen has excellent gambling skills and won the entire Lichi Garden with twenty yuan. Who in Hong Kong knows about it? I didn't expect him to be so young!"
Li Qiang also hurriedly responded, "How else can I say that a strong general has no weak soldiers? If I think Boss Chen can be where he is today, Boss Du must have made great contributions."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chen Daozai's face froze for an instant, but he quickly recovered and said to Du Yuesheng: "Boss, you are here for a rare visit. I have called all the people in charge.
Everyone is waiting for your lecture! Do you want to..."
Du Yuesheng was angry after hearing this. The reason why she was dressed like this was because she didn't want others to recognize her. It would be a good idea to tell the world directly. No need to ask, Li Qiang must have deliberately leaked the news.
This guy, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
In desperation, Du Yuesheng had no choice but to apologize and followed Chen Daozai out.
However, as soon as the two of them left, Li Weigong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and shouted at Li Qiang, "What on earth is going on with you, kid? Are you the one who asks for help?"
"What's wrong?"
"What else happened? It was obviously me who introduced you to Du Yuesheng, but you repeatedly bypassed me as the middleman and talked to him directly. What do you want him to think? Is this how you treat people who have helped you? That's it.
You still want to ask others to help you? Just dream!"
"Mr. Li, are you thinking too much? Everyone has their own communication habits. I like to be simple and direct. Just based on our relationship, can I still hurt you? Besides, I don't think Boss Du can do anything.
Angry."
"Of course I know you won't harm me, but others don't know that! You can't see that he is angry. That's because he is deep-seated and well-educated. If it were someone else, he would have turned over the table and fallen out on the spot. Do you believe it?
"
"Really? But those who asked me for help before also said the same thing, why didn't I think there was anything wrong?"
"Hey! How do you know this when you have only been eating official food for a few years? Listen to me, now that the matter is over, don't rush back to make up for it. Another day, you can prepare some good gifts when you come to visit.
Find a way to save it!"
"Okay then! I just don't know what Boss Du likes?"
As soon as he said this, Li Weigong couldn't help but snorted, "You don't even know this and you still ask others to do things? I really don't know what to say to you. Listen up, Du Yuesheng has three major hobbies in his life, one of which is listening to operas
, the second is to listen to others' stories, and the last one is gambling. So if you want to ask him to do something, you have to do what he wants, you know?"
