After Tie Jun left the cosmetics counter, he did not leave the building immediately. Instead, he went up to the second floor and wandered around to inquire.
After chatting with a male salesperson for a long time, Tie Jun bought two pens from one of his counters and also obtained some information about the building manager.
I guess Dali and the others were almost done. Tie Jun left the building and the two brothers were squatting at the door smoking.
"How's it going? Have you gained anything?"
Tie Jun came over and squatted down, nodded vigorously, and handed over a cigarette. Tie Jun took it, and Dachuan held up the lighter.
"Brother, Manager Wang saw him. He is in his forties, fat as a pig, not very good-looking, and has an old fried dough stick.
I didn't see Director Zhang. The person in their department said that if you want to find him in the morning, he goes to play cards in the afternoon, but I got the address."
He blew out a puff of smoke vigorously, looking a little sad. Tie Jun smiled and turned to look at Dachuan.
"It went pretty well for me. Except for the financial room, all the doors have old-fashioned locks. If you want to check anything, you can enter from outside the building at any time in the middle of the night."
"Well, yes, I also learned some new information, but it needs to be verified carefully tomorrow.
Let’s go to the best restaurant in Tangshan, Hongyan Restaurant, I’ll treat you to a treat, order whatever you like, whatever’s delicious!”
Tie Jun straightened up and pointed to the west, remembering the food memories from his previous life, "traveling to Tangshan and eating a grand banquet", the unforgettable braised pork elbow and tile fish.
"Brother, it's not your first time back to Tangshan. How come you still know about Hongyan Restaurant?"
Dali stood up and asked Tie Jun with a puzzled look on his face. Tie Jun's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained: "It was recommended by the salesperson just now."
Dali said loudly, and the three of them walked to the hotel together. Tie Jun secretly exclaimed that it was dangerous. Fortunately, he didn't mention that the Tangshan Banquet had not yet opened, otherwise it would not be possible.
As the crowd walked into Hongyan, Tie Jun found that there were groups of leaders from this unit and that company, speaking Tangshan dialect and walking in all directions.
The waiter was busy greeting regular customers. Tie Jun and the other three walked aside and found a small table next to them to sit down. It took a long time before the waiter came to greet them.
"Brother, please order..."
"You order it, you order it!"
Tie Jun pushed the recipe to Dali, Dachuan poked his head over, and the two brothers began to pick the dishes they wanted to eat.
"Stewed elbow, braised eggplant with sauce, tile fish with sauce, orchid shrimp crackers, brother, can four be okay?"
Dali looked at Tie Jun, who nodded with a smile, Dali put away the menu and said, "Add another bottle of Yutian old wine, six chess pieces sesame cakes, hurry up!"
After ordering the dishes, the three of them were drinking tea and waiting for the food. Tie Jun looked around as usual and vigorously told Dachuan interesting stories about Tangshan.
After looking around, Tie Jun's eyes were caught by the two women diagonally across from him, because many people who looked like cadres were greeting one of the women.
This woman is very clean-looking and has exquisite facial features. She is not beautiful, but she is very attractive and has an indescribable charm.
She has a No. 5 haircut, wears an old-fashioned Plum Blossom sportswear, and wears an old-fashioned Plum Blossom women's watch on her wrist. She is in her early thirties.
The woman sitting opposite her had her back to Tie Jun. She was wearing a suit and was wearing a woolen roll. She lowered her head to eat and did not speak to the people who came to say hello.
Tie Jun specifically looked at the dishes they ordered. They were very simple, a plate of shredded beans, a plate of Kung Pao chicken, and rice.
"Dali, go find someone over there in Tangshan dialect and find out who those two women are?
Be careful not to arouse people’s suspicion!”
Tie Jun lowered his head, poked Dali, nuzzled at the table, glanced at Dali, nodded and stood up.
"Brother Tie, what's wrong?"
Dachuan asked in a low voice after Dali left.
"This woman must be a local celebrity. I observed that the people who came in with us all came over to say hello to her.
I just happened to catch it, let’s find out more about it, maybe we have trouble getting the account, and I can ask her to help me through my connections.”
"I'm not close, can you help me?"
"Haha, that's all I said. It won't take much trouble to ask around."
It has to be said that this is a big hotel. Before Dali came back, two dishes had already been served and wine was also delivered.
Dachuan opened the wine and filled it for the three of them. Tie Jun's nose twitched. The aroma of the wine was rich, worthy of being called old wine, and it had a taste of the past.
After a while, Dali came back with a little excitement on his face. Tie Jun frowned and waited for him to speak.
"Brother, you are really awesome. That woman is Qin Shuilan on the list, the famous Guanyin, the Great Good Person."
"What do you mean?"
"Like me, she was a survivor back then. Now she is an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Her employees are all post-earthquake survivors."
Tie Jun couldn't help but look at Qin Shuilan, puzzled, how could such a kind person do such a thing without paying for the goods?
Qin Shuilan felt Tie Jun's gaze and looked up, her eyes as clear as water and her beautiful eyebrows deeply knitted.
Tie Jun suddenly realized that it was rude to stare at a woman like this, a smile appeared on his face and his eyes lowered.
Qin Shuilan also smiled. She probably saw people like Tie Jun often, so she didn't think much about it, lowered her head and continued eating.
Tiejun and the other three were already hungry. After a glass of wine, the three of them used their chopsticks together and started tearing apart their elbows.
"Xinlan, didn't we agree that we would accompany Director Liu tonight, what...what are you doing?"
"Let's go, I'll give Director Liu a drink and then leave. I work overtime at night, so I can't drink too much!"
A middle-aged fat man walked up to Qin Shuilan, his tone was a bit complaining, Qin Shuilan stood up with a smile and waved his hand to the side.
"Brother, big brother, that fat man is Manager Wang of the department store!"
Tie Jun was listening with his ears pricked up. He leaned over and whispered something. Tie Jun nodded calmly.
"Sister Liu, wait for me, I'll be right back!"
"Um!"
Qin Shuilan followed Manager Wang and Tie Jun was confused. Didn't Sister Wu say that Manager Wang was Qin Shuilan's?
Listening to the conversation between the two and Qin Shuilan's attitude, it doesn't look like that!
Full of questions, he continued to drink. Qin Shuilan didn't come back for a long time. Tie Jun looked in the distance to see the private room they had entered. The door was closed.
He listened hard, but still couldn't hear anything. Tie Jun smiled bitterly, thinking that he too overestimated his hearing.
Tie Jun and the others had finished their meal, but Qin Shuilan hadn't come back yet. The eldest sister left behind was sitting safely, and Tie Jun was a little anxious.
Tie Jun analyzed that the Director Liu mentioned by Manager Wang should be a powerful figure, otherwise Qin Shuilan would not be able to get out without going in.
It seems that this simple and kind woman encountered the Hongmen Banquet at Hongyan Restaurant.
Thinking about it again, Tie Jun laughed again. He was a loser, so why bother?
No matter what I say, I have gained something again. At least I met two key people. I just have a goal for tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Tie Jun no longer hesitated, took Dali and the two of them, and followed the little boy to check out.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just vomit and it'll be fine!"
Tie Jun had just finished paying the money when the voices of Manager Wang and the boy came from behind him. Tie Jun turned his head and looked over.
Qin Shuilan covered her mouth and ran all the way to the bathroom. Manager Wang held Qin Shuilan's arm with a happy face.
"I'll do it, Manager Wang!"
Sister Liu also ran over and reached out to take Qin Shuilan. Manager Wang hummed and stood aside to wait.
A man in a suit and tie followed over, pulled Manager Wang and asked in a low voice: "Tou, do you still want to drink?"
