In the end, Li Si still did not accept the money that Long Xiangtian gave him. Long Xiangtian had no choice but to take the money back with a smile, and his opinion of Li Si also changed a little.
"Master Long, have you invited guests today?" Li Si asked Long Xiangtian with some concern. On the first day of opening, Li Si was going to send some invitations to some people of high status in the city, but Long Xiangtian stopped him. He was a little worried. Although he knew that Long Xiangtian had a close relationship with the Zhang family, it would be too deserted if only the Zhang family came.
Long Xiangtian also saw Li Si's worry, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, I will give 'Hua Ge' an opening that will shock Jiutian City." After that, Long Xiangtian looked at the sky, and then said to Li Si: "Let's get started."
Seeing that Long Xiangtian was so confident, Li Si didn't say anything more. Anyway, as long as the Zhang family came, the ribbon-cutting ceremony would be considered very good. Even if not many people came, at least the momentum was there. After hearing Long Xiangtian say start, he waved his hand and asked people to take out the red envelopes and distribute them to the people watching the excitement.
This idea was also proposed by Li Si. Although not everyone can come in to eat today, there is no reason to stop them from coming to watch the fun. Li Si even welcomes them to watch the fun.
These people are the ones to whom Li Si distributes red envelopes. Although the money in the red envelopes is not much, many people will always come to join in the fun if they hear that there is a restaurant distributing red envelopes here, even if they are not greedy for small profits. This is equivalent to promoting "Hua Ge" in disguised form, and it will also leave a good image of "Hua Ge" in people's minds. Even Long Xiangtian praised Li Si loudly when he heard such a clever method.
Sure enough, those people were delighted to see that they could get red envelopes while watching the fun. Some of them even ran out in a hurry, probably planning to invite more people to receive the red envelopes.
"The Zhang family of Jiutian City is here to congratulate Huage on its grand opening!"
Just when Long Xiangtian was wondering why no one had come yet, a loud voice suddenly broke the noise. Long Xiangtian looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person shouting was the original housekeeper Zhang, and standing next to the housekeeper were Zhang Pengshu and his daughter.
Actually, Zhang Pengshu didn't need to do this, but Zhang Pengshu thought about it and realized that he hadn't seen Long Xiangtian since he helped him get rid of the poison last time. He could take this opportunity to thank him after he finished his family affairs. Moreover, although he had privately asked Zhang Pengshu to recognize Long Xiangtian as his brother, he hadn't made it public yet. He also took this opportunity to let others know that Long Xiangtian was the half-master of their Zhang family.
"Uncle Zhang." Long Xiangtian did not expect that Zhang Pengshu would come in person. He walked up to Zhang Pengshu and greeted him without caring about the surprised Li Si and others.
"You are the young master of the Zhang family after all. It would be nice for me to take a look at things like your opening a shop. Besides, I have also called that old guy Wang Hetong for you." Zhang Pengshu seemed to be very happy to see Long Xiangtian's unexpected expression, and then told him an even more surprising news.
Sure enough, Long Xiangtian was surprised again when he heard Zhang Pengshu's words. The person who could be jokingly called "old boy" by Zhang Pengshu and whose surname was Wang, could only be the head of the Wang family as expected.
"Brother, I've been standing here for a long time, why don't you say hello to me?" Before Long Xiangtian could think about it, a clever voice disrupted Long Xiangtian's thoughts. It was Zhang Yerong who was standing behind Zhang Pengshu.
Long Xiangtian was relieved to see that Zhang Yerong's mood had obviously recovered and was no longer as depressed as the fat guy had said before. However, he still knocked Zhang Yerong's head in annoyance and said, "You are the one who has too many things to do. I have to sort them out first."
"Hmph!" Zhang Yerong saw Long Xiangtian knocking her head again, and then made a face at Long Xiangtian, expressing her anger at Long Xiangtian's behavior.
Zhang Pengshu saw Long Xiangtian and Zhang Yerong playing around like real siblings, and he laughed heartily.
A few people were chatting happily here, and the people in the audience started talking in surprise.
"Isn't that the head of the Zhang family? Why would he participate in such an event?"
"And judging by the casual way the Zhang family members chatted with that young man, I'm afraid they have a pretty close relationship."
"..."
"The Wang family of Jiutian City is here to congratulate Huage on its prosperous business!"
Another voice sounded at the edge of the crowd, causing great disturbance to the crowd again. They thought that the Zhang family was the focus of this incident, but they did not expect that even the Wang family came along.
Long Xiangtian looked in the direction of the voice and found that the leader was a man with gray hair but a scholarly temperament, and following behind the man was Wang She. Long Xiangtian knew without hesitation that this man must be Wang Hetong, the head of the Wang family, who was nicknamed "Old Boy" by Zhang Pengshu.
Zhang Pengshu dared to say so, but Long Xiangtian would not be so rash. After all, the other party was giving him enough face by being willing to come.
"Uncle Wang." Long Xiangtian and Wang She were friends, so there was nothing wrong with calling Wang Hetong that.
Wang Hetong looked at Long Xiangtian and saw that he was neither arrogant nor impatient. Then he nodded happily and said with a smile: "My son is a bit stupid. He still needs the help of you classmates and friends in the college."
"Uncle Wang is too modest. Brother Wang is a rare talent and can make a name for himself without our help." Although Long Xiangtian is not a very meticulous person, he is not stupid. It is nothing for Wang Hetong to say bad things about his son, but if he continues, he will seem a little immature.
Sure enough, when Wang Hetong heard Long Xiangtian praising his son like this, he laughed happily and said, "You are a cunning boy, but I know that my son is not smart, which is a fact."
"Old man, stop wasting time here. Come on, let's go in and have a drink." Zhang Pengshu saw Wang Hetong talking nonsense there, so he rushed up and punched him.
"What a vulgar person." Wang Hetong looked at Zhang Pengshu with disdain.
However, Zhang Pengshu didn't care about Wang Hetong's contempt. Instead, he hugged him into the restaurant and insisted that he drink a few more glasses with him.
"Xiangtian, you have enough wine here, right?" Zhang Pengshu asked Long Xiangtian worriedly before going in.
"Don't worry, you can drink as much as you want." After all, Long Xiangtian opened a restaurant, and it was newly opened, so how could there be a lack of wine? Then he gave Shatuo a look, indicating that Shatuo should go in and entertain them.
Zhang Yerong didn't want to watch her father drinking at first, but then she thought that Long Xiangtian must have other friends to entertain, so she had to go in with Wang She.
Speaking of which, Zhang Pengshu and Wang Hetong did not come empty-handed. After all, Long Xiangtian was their junior, and as their elders, it would be fine if they did not come, but if they came and did not give something decent, they would also lose face. However, these things did not pass through their hands, but were given directly to Li Si by their own housekeeper.
