"Master Gu, it's not good, that...that," in the kitchen of the Gu Family Hotel, a waiter shouted and ran over, "that Zhou Huaming from the IKEA Hotel opposite came to our hotel for dinner."
Master Gu took the iron spoon and fiddled with it twice in the pot, and then took the stir-fried Chinese cabbage into the pot.
Listening to the waiter's fuss, he just said indifferently, "If you come, you will come, what's the fuss about. It's not the first time he has come to eat."
Did you come here in disguise last time and thought you didn't recognize him?
Wear a low-brimmed hat, a pair of sunglasses, and then a pair of sunglasses, and go out looking like a star.
But Gu Ziye and Gu Rufeng, the uncles and nephews, are very familiar with their competitors, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can recognize each other when they turn to ashes.
Gu Rufeng went to his meal and said, "Mr. Zhou welcomes you, why don't you tell me, so that my family Ye'er can arrange a private room for you. Ikea Hotel came to my Gujia Hotel for dinner, I don't know. It was because I thought the food at the IKEA Hotel was unpalatable, so I went to our Gu Family Hotel to eat it."
Gu Rufeng swept away his previous slump and became high-spirited.
Especially in the face of competitors who even disguised themselves and came here to eat, the mood became more comfortable.
If you don't make fun of Zhou Huaming at this moment, when will you wait?
The surrounding customers heard that the boss of the IKEA Hotel opposite came to eat at the rival's place. All of them opened their eyes wide and stared at Zhou Huaming with a look of curiosity, and some eyes flashed strangely.
Did Zhou Huaming really eat this week, or did he borrow food to find the bottom of his competitors?
However, no matter what kind it is, being caught by an adversary is an extremely humiliating thing.
Zhou Huaming was very thick-faced, and he said disdainfully, "That's what your family's meals are like."
Then he stood up and left straight away, but he seemed to be running away.
Now that Zhou Huaming came to eat here again, Gu Rufeng has no interest in taunting him anymore.
The waiter said, "Zhou Huaming seems to have invited someone to dinner this week. And that seems to be a friend of President Gu who has been here before."
As soon as he heard that it was Gu Ziye's friend, Gu Rufeng asked suspiciously, "Ye'er's friend? Which friend?"
"It's the lady who misunderstood Mr. Gu's girlfriend last time!" the waiter said.
Gu Rufeng's expression changed, he threw the iron spoon in the pot, and went straight out.
He wanted to confirm whether this Zhou Huaming had invited Xiao Lingyu to come here for dinner.
Although he misunderstood Gu Ziye and Xiao Lingyu as boyfriends and girlfriends last time, Gu Ziye also explained to him that this Xiao Lingyu was the partner who supplied vegetables to their hotel.
Now that the competitor has an appointment with the vegetable supplier of the Gu Family Hotel, it doesn't look like a good thing.
He looked outside the restaurant on the second floor and saw at a glance that Zhou Huaming was indeed sitting with a woman.
Whether this woman is Xiao Lingyu, he doesn't know, he has never seen it before.
However, the waiter has seen it, and that might be it.
He frowned, walked to a corner and made a phone call.
"Hey, where are you?" Gu Rufeng said with a serious face, "Come back to me quickly, your girlfriend and friend are having dinner with Zhou Huaming at the IKEA Hotel!"
Gu Ziye, who was swimming with three friends outside, heard the third uncle say that his girlfriend was having dinner with Zhou Huaming, his first reaction was to argue that he had no girlfriend. How can a girlfriend eat with Zhou Huaming.
But then he reacted.
The last time Xiao Lingyu came to the Gu Family Hotel, he was mistaken by the third uncle for his girlfriend.
So, what the third uncle said is...
He was shocked and walked out of the swimming pool immediately.
Zheng Haiyang asked suspiciously, "Ye, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Gu Ziye wiped the water off his body with a white towel and said, "The third uncle called and said that Xiao Lingyu was having dinner with Zhou Huaming."
"What?" The three of them were shocked. "Xiao Lingyu and Zhou Huaming are eating? What's going on?"
"I don't know either." Gu Ziye said suspiciously, "So, I plan to go back and have a look!"
"Let's go back together!" Zheng Haiyang immediately put on his clothes and left in a hurry.
After the four got into the car, Yuan Xuanhao asked, "Ziye, did the third uncle say where Xiao Lingyu and Zhou Huaming are eating?"
"No." Gu Ziye shook his head and said, "I'll call and ask."
After Gu Ziye finished the phone call, his expression was subtle.
The three of them looked at Gu Ziye's strangeness and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ziye said suspiciously, "The third uncle said that Xiao Lingyu and Zhou Huaming are having dinner at my Gu Family Hotel!"
"Ah?!" The three of them were really surprised, "What's going on at the Gu Family Hotel?"
If Zhou Huaming wanted to dig Gu Ziye's corner, he wouldn't invite Xiao Lingyu to the Gu Family Hotel.
No, Zhou Huaming should not be digging a corner, but should be asking for Xiao Lingyu.
Zhou Hongwei was arrested, but Xiao Lingyu was the party and the key witness. Xiao Lingyu's testimony was crucial to how Zhou Hongwei was convicted.
"I wonder if Xiao Lingyu asked to eat at the Gu Family Hotel?" Qian Yifan guessed.
"I think it's very possible!" Others echoed.
"No matter what the reason is, let's go back and have a look first!" Gu Ziye said.
...
Zhou Huaming agreed with Xiao Lingyu's conditions and should go to the Gujia Hotel for an invitation.
In order to save face, Zhou Huaming of course had to reserve a box.
Of course, he did not reserve the box in his own name, but asked a subordinate to book the box.
But who would have thought that the business of the Gu Family Hotel is so good that this box needs to be booked for at least five days.
Naturally, Zhou Huaming did not book a box.
The Zhou family had a request from Xiao Lingyu, and even if there was no box set, they could only come according to the appointment.
However, according to Xiao Lingyu's request, it was half past eleven in the morning, at lunchtime.
In order to save face, Zhou Huaming arrived at the Gu Family Hotel on time and walked to the table reserved two days ago to wait.
However, when he got to the table, he saw Xiao Lingyu was already waiting there.
She glanced at Zhou Huaming who suddenly came to her, frowned slightly, and asked, "Zhou Huaming, Boss Zhou?"
Zhou Huaming felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Lingyu had arrived. He subconsciously believed that Xiao Lingyu was for money and interests, and seemed impatient to negotiate with him.
Thinking of this, this attitude naturally changed a little bit lightly.
However, he still has to lower his attitude before negotiating.
He pulled the chair and sat down, nodded and replied, "Yes, I am Zhou Huaming. Miss Xiao, I have long admired your name."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, obviously wanting to shake Xiao Lingyu's hand.
Xiao Lingyu is a person who is very good at observing glances. Naturally, he did not miss the contempt in Zhou Huaming's eyes, and there was a sneer in his heart.
She didn't reach out to shake his hand, but looked at the watch on her wrist and said with a cold expression, "Boss Zhou, you are five minutes late. It seems that Boss Zhou has no sincerity at all, and even asked the guests to wait for you. ."
The expression on Zhou Huaming's face suddenly froze.
What does Xiao Lingyu mean?
Shall I give him a slap in the face?
However, he had to endure.
He pulled up his face and smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road!"
This is a common excuse used by many people who are late.
Xiao Lingyu raised her brows and said with a half-smile, "Traffic stuck?"
After saying that, his eyes swept forward deliberately, and through the bright glass, he looked at the restaurant - the IKEA Hotel!
The Gu Family Hotel and the IKEA Hotel are separated by a road, with two restaurants facing each other from a distance.
Xiao Lingyu's meaning is very clear, she is here to watch Zhou Huaming come out of the hotel opposite.
As an IKEA hotel, Zhou Huaming is often in the office.
Lies exposed!
Zhou Huaming also understood the sneer in Xiao Lingyu's eyes, and the expression on his face became even more unnatural.
He opened his mouth to explain, but Xiao Lingyu planned to pick up the bag and leave, saying, "Boss Zhou, I never negotiate with people who are not punctual or trustworthy. Since you are not sincere, there is no need to continue. ."
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiao!" Seeing that Xiao Lingyu was about to leave, Zhou Huaming gritted his teeth and stood up to apologize.
He doesn't apologize anymore.
I am also annoyed.
He originally thought that Xiao Lingyu would definitely not arrive on time, so he came over to his hotel at half past eleven.
Never would have thought that this Xiao Lingyu would be so punctual, still staring at him.
Xiao Lingyu sat down again and said, "Okay, for the sincerity of Boss Zhou, I will continue to stay."
After the two sat down, the waiter came over and asked them to order.
Zhou Huaming heard that the other party ordered some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and his eyes showed some disdain.
A hillbilly is a hillbilly.
When I come to eat here, I know that I want to order something expensive. I have never eaten it. Obviously, I want to eat a big meal with his hands.
Of course, Zhou Huaming didn't say anything.
When Xiao Lingyu ordered more than a dozen dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter, he said, "Miss Xiao, don't order two more."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "No need."
After the waiter left, Xiao Lingyu asked directly, "I don't know if Boss Zhou asked me to come here for dinner, what's the matter?"
Zhou Huaming's breath stagnated, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart.
He was very sure that this Xiao Lingyu must have done it on purpose.
He clearly knew the reason why he was looking for her, so he asked this on purpose.
He looked around and said in a low voice, "Miss Xiao, do you think it's easy to talk about such an occasion?"
When Zhou Huaming came in, some people recognized him.
Therefore, this curious and doubtful gaze is projected from time to time.
Xiao Lingyu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "That thing, what's the matter?" Xiao Lingyu immediately reacted and said with a horrified expression, "Boss Zhou, I will never agree to what you said. Although I don't have you. Powerful and powerful, but absolutely pure and innocent, absolutely impossible to help you with that."
Zhou Huaming, "..." a black line.
Everyone, "..." looked curious. What the **** is going on here?
On purpose, on purpose, definitely on purpose.
What does Xiao Lingyu mean?
Is this an attempt to discredit him in the public eye?
Zhou Huaming's face was blue and white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Xiao, you have misunderstood. I definitely don't mean it."
"That's good!" Xiao Lingyu patted her chest and said, "Before I came, I thought that you might come to me because of Zhou Hongwei. Zhou Hongwei is the purchasing manager of your IKEA Hotel this week, oh, no, I'm still listening. Say he is your nephew.
I thought that you came to me because Zhou Hongwei kidnapped me and wanted to illegally restrict my personal freedom.
I am a person with a strong sense of justice, and I absolutely cannot tolerate criminals. Rest assured, Boss Zhou, this time Zhou Hongwei will definitely be sentenced to a few years. He has been in prison for a few years, and he will definitely not have any ability to rob the IKEA Hotel from you after he comes out. "
Xiao Lingyu drank water as she spoke, seemingly unaware that what she said was wrong.
But he kept snorting coldly in his heart, "Hey, I asked your whole family to use my brother as a bargaining chip for threats. I really thought I was a soft persimmon. If you want to threaten me with all kinds of threats, then I will make your family restless first. ."
In the past three days, she had inquired about the situation of the Zhou family.
"Ha, Zhou Hongwei is going to rob the IKEA Hotel from his uncle? The inside story is really big."
"That's not right. I heard that Zhou Hongwei is the only male in the third generation of the Zhou family, but Mr. Zhou has spoken. In the future, everything in the Zhou family will belong to Zhou Hongwei. Can he rob him from his uncle?"
"Why can't I do it? President Zhou of IKEA Hotel, how old is he now, he is only under fifty years old, and he still has two daughters. Do you really want to hand over all the property created by one hand to your nephew, what are your two daughters? Can't get it? No one will believe it, okay? Not to mention Zhou Hongwei himself."
"I heard that the Zhou family is very patriarchal. The old man Zhou has spoken, and everything after the Zhou family belongs to Zhou Hongwei."
"Cut, what kind of society is it now, and patriarchy is still preferred? What if the old man Zhou has spoken, does Zhou Huaming really not consider his daughter? Give all the family business to Zhou Hongwei? This is obviously impossible, right? ."
"That's true!"
