Qian Tao was ashamed and annoyed, and wanted to refute. But when he raised his head, he saw his father's face turned dark and he was staring at him. He was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.
With this warm-hearted old man explaining the situation thoroughly, Sun Dahai and the others would save trouble and no further explanations would be necessary.
The matter was not serious in the first place. It was just Qian Tao who caused the trouble and refused to apologize. Su Tong didn't know the reason and acted recklessly. As a result, he suffered a hidden loss when he met someone like Battelle.
Ma Jingtao was also unambiguous. As a veteran, if such a small conflict could not be handled well, then he would stop hanging out in the capital.
He jokingly tried to smooth things over, first pressing his head and asking Qian Tao to admit his mistake to Gao Zhihui. Then he held Battelle's hand, complimented him on his good skills, and praised Gao Zhizhi for being beautiful and polite.
All in all, with his mediation, both parties were able to get off the ground and say hello, me, hello, everyone. Battelle also took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Su Tong, and the two sides finally settled their differences.
The only one who was unhappy was Qian Tao. He felt that he had lost face, but unfortunately no one cared about his feelings. And it seemed that Qian Jianghai would have to beat him up after returning home. The sadness in his heart had turned into a river.
Ma Jingtao works as a broker and deals with people all day long. He has a very sharp eye. He has long noticed that Sun Dahai and his group are different.
It is still very rare in this era for a group of half-grown children to come to a place like Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant for dinner.
Among them, Barter, the oldest one, could tell at a glance that he was not the person in charge. Judging from his skills and position, he looked like a bodyguard and follower.
Moreover, when the two sides started fighting just now, most of the children in this group were neither very scared nor very excited, but seemed to be very confident. This is not the reaction that ordinary people should have.
The essence of Ma Jingtao's work is actually to manage connections. For him, having one more friend opens up a new path, especially for people with money or background, and relationships must be well maintained.
It was precisely because he saw some clues that Ma Jingtao handled today's matter this way.
Otherwise, Lao Pao can't just be a peacemaker, act arrogantly, be arrogant, find connections and use power to suppress others, wouldn't Ma Jingtao not be able to do that?
Ma Jingtao really wanted to get to know these kids, but he couldn't find the right one. Sun Dahai saw what he was thinking, but was too lazy to respond. They all talked some boring nonsense, then separated in the parking lot, got in their cars and left.
Qian Tao was hit again. He sat in his Crown, thinking he was awesome, and looked down upon the old-fashioned jeeps and Shanghai cars parked around him.
As a result, he saw Sun Dahai and others getting into the tall and powerful Ford Ranger. Although the Ranger may not be more advanced than the sixth-generation Crown, the domineering power of the American pickup truck is by no means comparable to that of Japanese cars.
Ma Jingtao and Qian Jianghai were not only paying attention to the car model, but also the small numbered black tag hanging by the ranger attracted their attention even more.
The two of them looked at each other and knew something in their minds. It seemed that they didn't know whether Sun Dahai and his family had any power, but they were certain to have money.
In this era, mentioning foreign companies means having money. As a group of children, they can drive a foreign company's car to Quanjude for dinner. It is estimated that their family's status in the foreign company is not low.
Ma Jingtao shook his head and said: "It's a pity that they are just a group of children. If there are adults here, we can make friends with them and turn bad things into good things."
He glanced at Qian Tao, who was sitting as the deputy chief, and said, "Xiao Tao, you're getting older too, so you have to be more careful in the future. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Sijiu City. There may be some inconspicuous person behind you."
There is a big background. If people want to deal with us, they can do it with all their hands, but we don’t dare to offend others easily."
Qian Jianghai raised his hand and gave Qian Tao a hard blow on the back of his head, and said harshly: "I'll deal with you when I get back. If you dare to cause trouble again, go back to the county seat."
Sun Dahai and the others didn't care about the little incident at noon. They were going to Maxim Western Restaurant in Chongwenmen to order a birthday cake for Gao Yi, whose birthday is tomorrow.
Gao Yi will be ten years old tomorrow, and everyone is celebrating her birthday. Sun Dahai thought about it for a while, and still felt that Maxim's birthday cake was the most delicious.
The Xinqiao Sanbaola bakery opposite Maxim Western Restaurant is very famous. The bread made there is okay, but the cakes are average.
In fact, the Baiwangyuan store of Suijinghao Cafe that opened on May Day can also make birthday cakes. However, the store itself is too familiar and lacks a sense of ritual.
On May 1st, the first branch of Sewijinghao Cafe and No.9 Hot Pot Restaurant in the capital, Baiwangyuan branch, opened at the same time.
Although the Baiwangyuan store is located on the roadside of the future Fifth Ring Road, far away from the current city center and only accessible by three bus lines, this cannot stop the wealthy people from pursuing delicious food.
There are few bus routes? There is no problem. The army of bicycles in the capital is not just a boast.
For several days in a row, the security guards of Baiwang Court have been maintaining order outside and looking after cars. The open space outside the building has been turned into a temporary bicycle parking lot.
Fortunately, the two stores occupy the entire east podium of Baiwang Court Phase I, with a total of three floors. The business area is very large. The two stores add up to nearly 5,000 square meters. The reception capacity is extremely strong, so there is no similar situation.
Queues like those at the Hengshan Road store in Shanghai.
Sun Dahai was still thinking, if things continue like this, when Old Man Ken’s Hometown Chicken opens in Qianmen in 7 years, all the freshness will have been snatched up by his own store, and the performance will definitely not be as good as in his previous life.
We organized a group to enter several stores in Sanlitun, and they are all doing interior decoration. They all bought land and rebuilt two-story buildings as storefronts. It is estimated that they will be able to open by the end of the month, but Gao Yi, who is going to Xiangjiang to go to school, will definitely not be able to make it.
.
Maxim's birthday cake had to be ordered, so they came today. There were probably a lot of people arriving tomorrow, so Sun Dahai bought the largest size.
Gao Yi was born in 1967 and belongs to the year of Sheep. Sun Dahai asked the pastry chef not only to write his name and happy birthday, but also to draw a cartoon lamb. Several pastry chefs could not draw it, so in the end it was the French chef who came up with the job.
Got this job.
After ordering the cakes, everyone went to the Youyi Store not far away to do some shopping. Zheng Peipei had already obtained Hong Kong citizenship, so there was no problem in going to the Youyi Store.
In fact, even if Sun Dahai goes by himself now, the guard will not stop him. He goes to Youyi Store every month to make purchases and carries out large and small bags. Almost everyone in Youyi Store knows him.
In the evening, Battelle will drive to Jincheng and stay overnight there. He will be responsible for purchasing seafood tomorrow morning. It is the hottest time now, and no one can eat big fish and meat, so it is better to have some fresh seafood.
The expressway has not yet been repaired, so it takes more than two hours to travel to Jincheng one way. The roads are narrow and full of large trucks, making it difficult to walk.
If Battle waits until tomorrow morning to set off, it will be too much trouble and he won't be able to sleep well. He might as well leave the day before. The time is easy to arrange and he is not tired from driving. 11
