The waiter who was supposed to guide Xiao Zheng was awakened by the words, and he hurriedly stepped forward humbly, trying to help Shang Yao, whose skirt was close to the ground. But how could the latter be touched by an inferior waiter? When the waiter approached, she frowned slightly and said calmly: "No need."
She originally wanted to play tricks on Xiao Zheng. If she succeeded, it would also promote the relationship between the two and be of great benefit to future cooperation. Even if it fails, it's just a joke. It's harmless.
But who would have thought that Xiao Zhengfei not only refused to accept her invitation. Instead, he used the waiter to tease her. It's really unpleasant.
But Shang Yao is quite wealthy, so how can he easily express his emotions? After dismissing the waiter, she just smiled and walked side by side with Xiao Zheng, walking into the Tongque Terrace together.
"It's so impressive."
When the two entered the lobby on the first floor, they were immediately shocked by the uncanny workmanship of the Tongque Terrace. Even the well-informed Shang Yao couldn't help but sigh softly: "It is much more elegant than my father's club."
"Speaking of Boss Shang." Xiao Zheng smiled and asked casually. "Hasn't he been to Tongque Terrace?"
When Shang Yao heard this, her eyes changed slightly, and she said calmly: "Mr. Xiao said this, it seems that he asked knowingly." After a pause, she added. "My father never shared the stage with Lin Chaotian. This is well known in Yanjing. Why does Mr. Xiao have to ask so many times?"
Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and joked: "You can also see, I just asked casually."
Shang Yao pursed her lips slightly, not knowing whether Xiao Zheng asked this casually or if he had ulterior motives. But all in all, compared to the first time they met two years ago, Xiao Zheng has undergone earth-shaking transformation and is no longer the poor boy he used to be.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two took the elevator to the eighth floor. That is the top floor of Tongque Terrace. After bypassing the screen, I walked onto a spacious and unique corridor. He bumped into three handsome young men.
Seeing these three people, Shang Yao showed a friendly smile and sincere feelings, but Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned with a subtle expression.
Who are the three people
It was Yan Dengkui and others who had a fierce conflict with Xiao Zheng. As usual, Zhao Chuan and Xia Houwu are like his twin brothers. The three of them are always inseparable and have a deep friendship.
Yan Dengkui has not met in the past year, and is already well-known in the political arena. Coupled with his strong background and family background, as well as the prosperous road paved for him by his father. Although Yan Dengkui suffered a big loss a year ago, he has now turned around and become a famous figure in Beijing circles again.
The three of them walked with wind and full of aura. Meet Xiao Zheng head-on.
"Brother." Shang Yao took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile on his face. "How have you been?"
"Very good." Yan Dengkui didn't seem to like this little girl from the Yan family at all. I don't know if it's because the three sons of the Yan family are at odds with each other, or if it's because the relationship between brother and sister is indifferent. He just nodded lightly as a greeting.
On the contrary, when his eyes fell on Xiao Zheng's face, a sinister look flashed across Yan Dengkui's handsome face. He said in a deep tone: "Boss Xiao, long time no see."
"Yes. In total, it has been more than a year." Xiao Zheng smiled meaningfully and asked seemingly casually. "How have you been?"
Shang Yao's concern and inquiry may be just out of politeness, but Xiao Zheng's question seemed a lot more playful. Food for thought.
Yan Dengkui narrowed his eyes and said, "Very good." After a pause, he asked slowly. "I heard that Boss Xiao and Young Master Chang had some misunderstanding before. Is it no big deal?"
This is clearly sowing discord.
Of course, Xiao Zheng was originally at odds with Chang Yishan, which was known to the entire Yanjing. Even when he arrived at Tongque Terrace, he had no intention of hiding anything.
"No problem." Xiao Zheng said with a grin. "Otherwise, why would Mr. Chang invite me to his Tongque Terrace?"
Yan Dengkui nodded and without saying much, he and Zhao Chuan entered the exclusive VIP room to rest. There's still about an hour before dinner. Even the owner of the Tongque Terrace didn't show up, so naturally they were free to move around.
After entering the VIP room, Xia Houwu said angrily: "This kid is really impressive."
Zhao Chuan slowly sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and said solemnly: "This person is really extraordinary. In just two years, he has been transformed from an unknown little security guard to a regular security guard." He is as famous as Yishan. He is amazing."
The two of them had the same inner view of Xiao Zheng, but one was sarcastic while the other was quite vigilant. It can be seen how much family background affects xinxing.
Yan Dengkui sat down slowly, picked up an apple and took a bite. While refusing, he said with a sullen face: "It's just because Lin Huayin helped him build bridges and pave roads. Otherwise, how could he be where he is today?"
In two years, it has caught up with Yan Dengkui’s more than 30 years of accumulation and management. This is a cruel reality that is difficult for anyone to accept.
Two years ago, Yan Dengkui could overlook the worthless Xiao Zheng from a high position. You can even play tricks on this unknown person without restraint. But now, he has lost this qualification and his courage. First, after the last battle, his arrogant temperament was flattened. Second, with Xiao Zheng's current background and strength, even if he still has the courage, he may not have the strength.
Just Lin Huayin's outburst at First Lady Dong Bijun's birthday party was enough to scare many young men like Yan Dengkui away from easily testing her. What's more, now even Shang Yao, the little girl who is gradually returning to her true self, also favors him. Obviously, this is the uncle Shang Jingtian operating behind the scenes.
These two points alone are enough to instantly kill countless pampered young masters in Yanjing and put them at a disadvantage.
Yan Dengkui knew that everything Xiao Zheng had was brought to him by Lin Huayin. This is why Yan Dengkui wants to get close to Lin Huayin at all costs. Even if he is a son of a wealthy family, once he gets together with Lin Huayin, he will save thirty years or even a lifetime of struggle.
But unfortunately, this good thing happened to Xiao Zheng in the end. It makes people feel sad and resentful.
"I think Chang Yishan invited him here with bad intentions." Zhao Chuan's eyes flashed and he said with a half-smile. "And if he comes over, he will definitely not feel at ease as a guest."
"You know, the name of this club can be called Tongque Terrace. Isn't that Lin Huayin the unparalleled Qiao in Chang Yishan's heart?" Zhao Chuan said with a cunning look on his face. "Dengkui, when the time comes, let's fan the air, light a fire, and watch a good show, wouldn't it be nice?"
Yan Dengkui raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled knowingly: "You are still treacherous. I know this is not a simple dinner."
