The atmosphere at the dinner table changed from relaxed at first, to dull later, to solemn at this moment. Jiang Qing only felt that the conversation between these two people was extremely profound. Also sharp-witted.
Until the end, when Shang Yao used his trump card and suppressed Xiao Zheng's opponent's deviant behavior, Xiao Zheng's clever response opened Jiang Qing's eyes.
My tutor does not allow me to talk about my elders behind my back!
An understatement but a righteous word shattered all Shang Yao's plots. It also broke Shang Yao's trap at every step. Successfully broke out of the big net cast by Shang Yao.
On the other hand, Shang Yao's face showed a slight hint of discomfort when faced with Xiao Zheng's awe-inspiring response. Maybe the plan was disrupted, or maybe he didn't expect Xiao Zheng to respond like this. After a short silence, Shang Yao smiled slightly, returned to his normal expression and said, "I was rude. Please don't take offense, Mr. Xiao."
"Where is that?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I'm the one who takes it seriously. How can friends not talk about some gossip when they are chatting at a gathering?"
Seeing Xiao Zheng giving the steps, she walked down. He raised his teacup and said, "Mr. Xiao, I respect you."
"cheers."
After being rejected by Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao no longer mentioned these topics that were against Xiao Zheng's family education. Just focus on the dishes and the historical origins of this Sichuan restaurant. But Xiao Zheng was not interested in these nutritious topics, and Shang Yao was also very boring. A hasty meal was over in half an hour. Most of the dishes on the table were untouched, and it was obvious that no one was paying attention to the table.
"Mr. Xiao. It seems that today's dishes are not to your taste." Shang Yao paid the order, stood up and smiled. "How about you pick a place later and we can have a drink?"
"Next time I treat you, Miss Shang, please don't refuse." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, stood up and shook hands with her.
This woman is really not simple.
Just the calmness and calmness shown by Shang Yao during the meal just now is enough to put most men to shame. But she was able to behave so badly in front of Lin Xiaozhu and others. How can such a city be owned by ordinary people? How could such a mind be matched by Lin Xiaozhu's
"It's not easy." Xiao Zheng murmured to himself and watched Shang Yao leave.
"Of course it's not simple." Jiang Qing said slowly with a hint of guilt on his hard face. "She can compete with my father at the age of eight. She can control the atmosphere of a dinner party at the age of twelve. When my father was just a lieutenant-level officer, he expected that she would become something great."
"So you don't believe the rumors about her in the market?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously, sitting back at the dining table. Without Shang Yao to disturb them, the two of them might be more interested in eating.
A big table of food can’t be wasted, right
"I don't believe it." Jiang Qing shook her head. "My father said that this may be a game of chess in the business world."
"It is indeed a game of chess. And it uses my daughter as the chess piece." Xiao Zheng smiled. "One is a good chess player and the other is a good chess piece. They work together seamlessly and flawlessly. Even my family was deceived."
Jiang Qing's expression was subtle. After being silent for a while, he took the initiative and said, "Xiao Zheng, I'm sorry."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I took advantage of you." Jiang Qing said frankly.
"Use?" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and joked. "If she is the one I like, not only will I not think it is taking advantage of her, I will also give you a red envelope as a matchmaker."
Jiang Qing frowned and shook his head: "The Jiang family owes Shang Jingtian a favor. I am repaying the debt for my father."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "As long as you don't plan to kill me. You just tricked me into coming over for a meal. Don't we even have this kind of friendship?"
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and said, "You don't blame me?"
"Weird!" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face.
Jiang Qing was quite surprised to see him turning his back faster than flipping through a book.
"I've been an instructor of the Dragon Group for so long! But you haven't assigned me a single mission! Has the country forgotten me? When will it be my turn to take action?" Xiao Zhengyi said sternly.
Hearing this, Jiang Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said word by word: "Even a piece of toilet paper is useful to society and the people. Not to mention you? Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have the opportunity to appear. "
Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Are you also a fan of Master Xing?"
"Hardcore." Jiang Qing said.
"Nice to meet you." Xiao Zheng shook hands with him and said exaggeratedly. "I almost became the vice-president of the Star Fans Club. Unfortunately, I was too busy with work, so I had to step down and make way for someone else."
Jiang Qing gave Xiao Zheng a strange look, as if he was looking at an idiot.
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Jiang Qing just continued to say, "Can I ask you something?"
"Say." Xiao Zheng felt insulted and a little unhappy.
"I heard that you opened a club called Longfeng Tower?" Jiang Qing asked tentatively.
"You just know?" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "It opened yesterday, and you didn't say anything about sending a flower basket to congratulate me. It's not enough of a friend."
"I was on duty yesterday." Jiang Qing explained.
"Forget it. A woman like you who doesn't understand the world will probably not go even if she doesn't have a job." Xiao Zheng complained.
Jiang Qing rarely fought back, but said with a rather strange expression: "I heard that your club is a membership system, and only members can spend money there?"
"Don't you know?" Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing. "Nowadays, among the slightly higher-end clubs, which one does not have a membership system? Doesn't it lower the level of the club by entertaining cats and dogs?"
Jiang Qing's expression became increasingly weird, and she raised her eyes cautiously and asked, "Then - do you still have more membership cards in your club?"
Xiao Zheng's expression changed and he asked curiously: "Why, do you want to be arty too?"
"No." Jiang Qing shook his head hurriedly.
"Then why do you ask this?" Xiao Zheng said condescendingly.
"General Qi wants to ask you for a membership quota—" Jiang Qing spoke straightforwardly, but her tone was unusually tactful. "Is it convenient for you?"
"Inconvenient!" Xiao Zheng shook his head firmly.
"Huh?" This was the first time in Jiang Qing's life that he reached out to someone to ask for something, and was actually rejected. This made her feel extremely frustrated and helpless.
But this was barely a task given to her by General Qi, and she had sworn to it at the time. If you can't get it, how can you explain it to General Qi
"General Qi wants a membership card, why don't you come and get it yourself? Send one of your errand boys to ask me for it?" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "Do you know that the customization cost of a membership card alone is worth 200,000? Do you know that a membership card has a million free consumption every year? You just reach out to me and ask for one? The cardholder lives for ten years, It's equivalent to me losing 10 million for no reason. If I live for a hundred years, I will lose 100 million. According to General Qi's physical fitness and age, no matter how you calculate, he can live for another twenty or thirty years, right? Twenty to thirty million, Captain Jiang, Do you think I am a charity founder?"
