Chapter 147: Inviting Guests
So Zhang Shaohua decided to change his strategy for Xiao Yu, so after sending Chu Secretary back home after work, he came here to wait for Xiao Yu.
He said that having dinner with a few friends was indeed the case. He wanted his small circle to know Xiao Ye, not seeking to make friends, but hoping not to offend him!
"Zhang, you go have dinner with your friend, I won't join in the fun!" Xiao Yu thought for a moment and still refused, this might also be related to his personality, not used to these social niceties!
"Come on! Xiao Lao Di, no one else is going, just us brothers, let's have some fun together!" Zhang Shaohua said hastily after getting out of the car when he heard Xiao Yu decline. Zhang Shaohua's intention was to get closer to Xiao Yu, if Xiao Yu didn't go, what would be the point?
"Zhang, never mind! Another day, I'll treat you!" Xiao Yu said with embarrassment.
"No way, that's absolutely not going to work. How about this? I'll push them over there and we brothers can go eat together!" Zhang Shaohua said when he saw Xiao Yu was really unwilling to go.
Zhang Shaohua has now made befriending Xiao Yu his top priority, and as for his other friends, although they also have considerable energy, they are now subtly led by him, so it doesn't matter if he is pushed away.
Xiao Yu has always remembered the two times Zhang Shaohua helped him. Although the first time he was entrusted by someone, helping is still helping. The second time, in order to help himself, he suffered a lot of grievances, so Xiao Yu always felt that he owed Zhang Shaohua a favor.
At this time, hearing that Zhang Shao Hua was going to push the gathering of friends and go eat together, suddenly felt a bit pretentious, thinking in his heart, although he was not used to seeing people off, but sometimes these were unavoidable.
"Alright! Zhang, I've been wanting to invite you for a meal as a thank you. Today's the perfect opportunity, let me treat you and your friend!" Xiaoyu thought for a moment, since some things were unavoidable, might as well go with the flow.
"Alright! Hehe, since Xiao wants to treat me, I'll choose the place! Zhang Shaohua hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Regardless of who was treating whom, the main thing now was to build a good relationship with him. It's even better that he's treating me, so I'll have an excuse to return the favor next time."
"Haha, okay, let's go, Brother Zhang can choose wherever he wants!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Ye is now well-off and doesn't care where Zhang Shaohua chooses.
"Alright, I'll give them a call!" Zhang Shaohua said, pulling out his phone.
Zhang Shaohua hung up the phone and said to Xiao Ye: "Let's go, Xiao brother, let's find a quiet place today!"
Xiao Yu got into Zhang Shao Hua's car and arrived at a small restaurant by the sea. Xiao Yu and Zhang Shao Hua got out of the car, Xiao Yu stood outside the restaurant door, looking at this small restaurant, the name of the store was called Hai Xian Shi Jia, although the restaurant is not big, but there are many good cars parked outside the restaurant, it can be seen that business here is booming.
"Come on! Xiao, don't look at the size of this restaurant, but it's actually one of the most famous seafood restaurants in the entire Deep Sea, especially with a great environment, so many big shots also like to come here to eat!"
Zhang Shaohua saw Xiao You standing outside the door looking at this restaurant, and explained to him.
Zhang Shaohua led Xiao You into the Seafood World, and as soon as they entered the gate, a woman in her 40s with a smiling face came to greet them, saying: "Director Zhang has arrived, Directors Li and Wu are already here, waiting for you at the Emerald Jade Pavilion!"
"Hehe, Jin Jie, I, Zhang Shao Hua, am only worth a Cuixuan Hall!" Zhang Shao Hua said with a smile, although he was smiling, anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.
"Haha, Director Zhang is joking, you're a distinguished guest who can't be invited...". The young woman said with a smile, and then walked to Zhang Shao Hua's ear and whispered a few words.
"Alright then, let's just call it Cuiyu Xuan!" Zhang Shaohua said helplessly in response to the young woman's words.
Xiao Ye looked at the woman in front of him, who was around 40 years old and not particularly young or beautiful, but had a mature feminine charm. She wore a cheongsam that accentuated her curves, and with each step she took, she exuded a gentle femininity that was simply captivating.
The young woman saw Xiao Yu and felt very familiar, so she said to Zhang Shao Hua: "Director Zhang, this is..."
"Hehe, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Shao!"
"Little brother, this is the boss's wife of Hai Xian Shi Jia, Sister Jin!"
Zhang Shaohua smiled lightly and introduced them to each other.
"Xiao Shao, hello, welcome to our humble shop!" The boss's wife stretched out a hand and said in her soft and gentle voice.
"Hello, boss's wife!" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and shook hands with the boss's wife.
Xiao Yu and the boss's wife shook hands, just about to let go when he suddenly felt a soft finger scratching his palm twice. Xiao Yu immediately looked embarrassed and quickly pulled back his hand.
"Haha……" The boss's wife saw Xiao Yu's appearance and suddenly let out a burst of silvery laughter, looking at him with a playful expression.
Zhang Shaohua also saw Xiao Yu's appearance and naturally knew what was going on. He smiled at the boss's wife and said, "Hehe, Jin sister, don't tease my brother anymore. My brother is not one of us."
"Alright, alright...... Haha......" The boss's wife responded repeatedly, but as soon as she finished answering, she thought of Xiao Yu's expression and burst into laughter again.
The boss's wife is around forty years old and runs a restaurant like this. Although the restaurant looks small, it attracts either rich or noble customers. She naturally knows their characters very well. Now encountering a man as pure as Xiao Yu is really too difficult, at least for her, it's like winning five million dollars.
The boss's wife brought Zhang Shaohua and Xiao Ye to the Cuiyu Pavilion. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the sound of voices coming from inside. Zhang Shaohua pushed open the door and walked in.
"Zhang, you've really made us old folks suffer!" As soon as Zhang Shao Hua entered the private room, several people inside stood up. A man in his fifties looked at Zhang Shao Hua with a complaining tone, but there was no sign of displeasure on his face, only a smile.
"Good one, Old Li, you're really getting started on me! Alright then, I'll punish myself with three cups in a bit!" Zhang Shaohua said with a smile as he looked at the few people.
"Alright, alright, it's refreshing, but you're going to have to drink it yourself, don't blame me!" said the man in his fifties with the surname Li.
"Alright... it's not our Director Li's fault! I just wanted a drink myself! Alright then!" Zhang Shaohua said, drawing out the last word.
Xiao Yu looked around the private room, there were four men inside, the youngest of whom appeared to be over 40 years old. Although Zhang Shao Hua was the youngest among them, they all seemed to be led by him.
These four men did not sit in the main seat, but sat on both sides of the main seat, leaving the main seat empty. The official ranks of these people were higher than Zhang Shao-hua's, but none of them sat in the main seat, instead leaving it vacant. Although Zhang Shao-hua was not highly ranked, he was a trusted and close minister to those who followed Secretary Chu, while they could only be considered outer ministers.
Although these people looked at Xiao Ye, Zhang Shaohua did not introduce Xiao Ye, but walked to the main seat, pulled out a chair and said to Xiao Ye: "Xiao younger brother, come, sit here!"
Several men who were originally full of smiles, upon seeing Zhang Shaohua's actions, had their smiling faces instantly turn into shock, and even the boss's wife standing at the door was also shocked.
Who is Zhang Shaohua? Although his position is not high, as the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary, he can be said to be the first secret in the deep sea, especially at many times his attitude represents the attitude of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chu.
At this time, they looked at Xiao Yu's gaze again, and Zhang Shao Hua called him to introduce a noble guest. Although they were also curious about what kind of person could be considered Zhang Shao Hua's noble guest, when Xiao Yu entered the door, they saw Xiao Yu suddenly felt some disappointment in his heart.
When they saw Xiao Yu, they found Xiao Yu so young. Although Xiao Yu also had a temperament, it was a kind of temperament that they couldn't say or explain clearly, but they knew it wasn't the noble air that the sons of aristocratic families should have possessed, so they joked with Zhang Shaohua without any scruples.
The old lady boss was even more so, running this restaurant, and had seen all sorts of people. At first, when she saw Xiao Yu, she thought he was just a simple person looking for Zhang Da's help!
"Zhang, you take a seat! I'll just sit here!" Xiao Yu took in the expressions of everyone present and refused to take the main seat, instead walking over to a lower seat and sitting down.
"Hey! Xiao Lao Di, today you're the host!" Zhang Shao Hua said hastily as he saw Xiao Ye sit at the lower seat.
"Haha, Zhang brother, you're wrong, didn't we agree that I'd treat today? So, as the host, you should be the one sitting!" Xiao Yu said with a light smile.
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you, I'll sit here too!" Zhang Shaohua walked over and sat down beside Xiao Yu.
"Zhang, you order something!" Since Xiao Ye invited him out, he should at least put on a show of being the host. Xiao Ye picked up the menu from the table and handed it to Zhang Shaohua.
"Alright, I'll order...". Zhang Shaohua wasn't very familiar with Xiao Yu's situation, and since he wanted to make a good impression on him, he naturally wouldn't order anything too expensive, in case Xiao Yu didn't have enough money and would be embarrassed.
After Zhang Shaohua finished ordering, Xiao Yu handed the menu to a few others. They often eat here and naturally understand the price of the dishes. At this time, after hearing Zhang Shaohua's order, they knew what it meant and hurriedly said: "Seven or eight dishes are enough, just for us a few people, wasting more is really a pity!"
The boss's wife listened to their words, feeling a wave of disdain in her heart. She thought, when have you ever not wasted food here? Even when others treated you to a meal, you would pick the most expensive dishes, and now you're saying this...
