When the fat middle-aged man saw that Tang Xiu recognized him, he immediately felt special and said with a smile: "That's right, that's my job. I thought I would never see you, my idol, again in this life, but I didn't expect you again today." I met you here. And I didn’t expect that this is a restaurant owned by your family. I have heard them say many times that your restaurant is very good, the food is rich, the price is cheap, and it tastes good."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Tang Xiu smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked inside again.
The fat middle-aged man was stunned and looked at Tang Xiu walking away. He was a little confused and thought that his words made Tang Xiu dissatisfied.
"What! You're trying to get close to a child, but people still don't pay attention to it. This is obviously a hot-face but a cold-butt!" The middle-aged woman who was helping just now looked at the fat middle-aged man with disdain and said sarcastically.
For a moment.
The fat middle-aged man's face turned the color of pig liver.
After taking a few steps, Tang Xiu clearly heard the sarcasm of the middle-aged woman behind him. He frowned slightly, stopped and turned around, looked at the familiar waiter and said, "I remember telling my mother, We need to reserve one or two of the most luxurious private rooms to entertain those distinguished guests. Have we reserved them in our restaurant?"
The waiter said: "Two rooms are reserved."
Tang Xiu said: "Is there anyone there now?"
The waiter said: "One of the rooms is occupied by city leaders. There is another room that is empty!"
Tang Xiu said: "Let them use the empty room! This fat brother and I are acquaintances, and he is a nice person."
"good!"
The waiter nodded respectfully.
In an instant.
The fat middle-aged man was stunned again. Tang Xiu's words of praise made him turn from anger to joy, and he even gave Tang Xiu a grateful look.
As for the middle-aged woman, her breathing stagnated slightly, and an angry look suddenly appeared on her face. She reached out and pulled the middle-aged man with a sinister face next to her, and wanted to leave. The middle-aged man looked at the fat middle-aged man in surprise for a few times, then turned to the middle-aged woman and shouted in a low voice: "Don't be ridiculous, our family finally got together today, and they even gave us the best private room in the restaurant." If you use it, it has already given us a lot of face."
"snort… "
The middle-aged woman was obviously a little afraid of the man with a sinister face. She snorted and turned her head angrily.
Tang Xiu ignored these trivial matters and came to his mother's office, where he found his mother calculating accounts with a computer. Seeing the smile on her lips, Tang Xiu felt comfortable in his heart.
"Mom, the restaurant business is so good, I think you can hire someone to help you manage your finances."
When Su Lingyun saw Tang Xiu, her eyes suddenly lit up. She put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile: "You kid, what are you talking about? You can't leave the job of managing money to others. What if someone reports false accounts. Although mom is old, her brain is still good and she can handle it."
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "Who said my mother is old? You will always be young and beautiful in my heart. By the way, I have a holiday. I don't have to go to school tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will take the exam directly with my admission ticket. The exam room is In our school."
Su Lingyun said with concern: "Xiu'er, don't be stressed, just treat it as an ordinary exam. Even if we can't get into a key university, Mom will be satisfied if we can get into an ordinary university."
Tang Xiu said: "I am confident that I can give you the first place in the provincial examination."
Su Lingyun was amused by Tang Xiu's words and scolded with a smile: "You brat, you only know how to make your mother happy. By the way, have you finished your meal? I'll cook for you myself..."
Tang Xiu said quickly: "I have already eaten. I have recently given extra classes to a few classmates, and they invited me to eat tonight."
Tang Xiu looked at his mother with gray hair on her temples, thought for a moment, and then decided not to go back to Nanzha Town tonight, but to go back to his real home. Spending more time with his mother is his biggest wish in life.
Early in the morning.
Tang Xiu accompanied Su Lingyun to lock the door of the store and walked home. The street lights outside were dim and there were few pedestrians. The vehicles on the highway gather like a dragon, and the flow is endless.
"Mom, do you go home at this time every day? Alone?" Tang Xiu looked a little ugly. He observed through his spiritual consciousness that no Wrench or anyone else was nearby.
Su Lingyun smiled and said, "Yes! Anyway, this place is very close to our home, and it only takes ten minutes to walk. Look at this street lamp, it illuminates the ground brightly, so you don't have to worry about sprained feet because you can't see the ground clearly."
Tang Xiu asked: "What time does the restaurant open every day?"
Su Lingyun said: "I don't come here until nine o'clock every morning. Wan Wan and the others do the shopping for vegetables and meat in the morning. Otherwise, I will be exhausted."
Tang Xiu nodded and said nothing more. But he was thinking in his heart that his mother went home so late every day and it was too unsafe at night. He had to find someone to protect her secretly. These days, if he is not afraid of ten thousand, he is afraid of what may happen. If something happens to his mother, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
arrive home.
Tang Xiu was lying on a familiar bed, looking at the familiar scenes in the room, but he felt a headache due to the lack of manpower. When he was in the immortal world, he had a large number of loyal subordinates under him. No matter what he asked, the immortals would do it.
But now!
He had just returned to Earth not long ago and had to do many things by himself. He can't be incompetent. He wants to do his own thing, make money and practice, and go to college according to his mother's wishes, so he can't spare the time to protect his mother.
"Isn't it time to develop some cronies?"
This thought came to Tang Xiu's mind. However, in this age where money means motherhood, he found that he was really too poor. Although he has made a lot of money recently, he only has a few million left. For example, the money received from Tie Long and the compensation from Shenglong Martial Arts Hall were all used by Kang Xia to develop the company. Moreover, he spent a lot of money recently on purchasing medicinal materials.
"I owe Chen Zhizhong 2.5 billion, and I asked Gu Xiaoxue for 100 million. Where can I get a large sum of money?"
Tang Xiu pondered for a long time, and finally put the idea of "cultivating confidants" aside in his heart.
"Bang bang..."
A dull knock on the door woke up Tang Xiu who was gradually falling asleep. When he got dressed, he looked at the time and found that it was two o'clock in the evening.
"Who's knocking on the door so late?"
Tang Xiu frowned deeply, walked out of the room door, and saw his mother Su Lingyun also walking out wearing clothes.
"Why is there someone knocking on our door in the middle of the night?" Su Lingyun hesitated, not knowing whether to open the door. After all, there is no peephole on the door, so it is not clear whether the person outside is a good person or a bad person.
Tang Xiu said, "You'll know just by looking at it."
Talking!
He walked quickly to the door, and when he opened it, the first thing that hit him was the pungent smell of alcohol. Immediately afterwards, Su Shangwen stumbled in with messy clothes and red eyes.
Tang Xiu had quick eyes and quick hands. He reached out and grabbed Su Shangwen's collar and threw him directly outside the door. He watched him fall heavily to the ground with a cold look in his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
Su Shangwen struggled to get up from the ground. When he shook his head and saw Tang Xiu standing in front of him clearly, he immediately rushed forward with a curse: "You damn little bastard, it's all because of you. If...if it wasn't because of you, , will I be as miserable as I am now? Compensate me...compensate my company, compensate my money..."
"Snapped… "
Tang Xiu slapped Su Shangwen on the face, causing him to sit on the cement floor outside the door, and said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about? If you drink too much, go home and sleep, not here with us. Be drunk and crazy. Otherwise, you won’t just lose the company, and your own safety will not be guaranteed.”
Su Shangwen covered his face and cursed with the disgusting smell of alcohol: "You... you little bastard, your wings are stiff, aren't you? Damn it, you dare to hit... hit me? If it weren't for me, how could your family have survived? Are you as good as you are now? Your mother... you two have gone to beg for a long time and died in some alley long ago."
Tang Xiu took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Su Shangwen, who had a grim expression inside the door, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, if you trust me, let me solve this matter. You can go and rest!"
Su Lingyun hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Xiu'er, he..."
Tang Xiu said: "I asked people to do it. Don't worry, I guarantee that his personal safety will not be a problem."
"you… "
Su Lingyun looked at Tang Xiu blankly, and suddenly she realized that her son had really grown up and she no longer needed to protect him under her arms. Moreover, she found that her son seemed to have matured a lot in the past two months and became a bit mysterious.
"All right!"
Su Lingyun was completely disappointed with this brother, so she shook her head and turned back to her room.
Tang Xiu walked out of the room, closed the door from the outside, reached out to pick up Su Shangwen, and strode downstairs. When he came to the roadside, he slapped Su Shangwen hard on the face again, knocking him unconscious. Then he stopped a taxi, threw two hundred yuan to the taxi driver, and reported Su Shangwen's family. address.
As the taxi drove away, Tang Xiu withdrew his gaze and dialed Chen Zhizhong's number. Although it was already two o'clock in the night, he had to disturb Chen Zhizhong. In order for his mother to no longer be harassed, he had to resolve Su Shangwen's matter as soon as possible.
He was very glad to come back to live tonight, otherwise, with Su Shangwen's character, his mother would definitely be insulted by him, and maybe even beaten.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Chen Zhizhong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Tang Xiu asked: "Are you sleeping?"
Chen Zhizhong said: "Not yet, let's deal with some things. Do you have any instructions for me?"
Tang Xiu said: "How is the progress of Su Shangwen's matter?"
Chen Zhizhong said: "We have begun to close the net. Su Shangwen's Shangwen Real Estate Company has many problems and even many black accounts. He will be arrested in five days at most. Even if he cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment, I am afraid it will be more than ten or twelve years. More than ten years of prison life. In addition..."
Tang Xiu asked: "What else?"
