When Jiang Qing saw that the topic was about him, he put down his teacup. Although he didn't have a fake smile on his face, he still curled his lips and said indifferently, "It's just a meal. There's no need to beat around the bush. "
This was an extremely ordinary reply. Even from a third party's point of view, they wouldn't think that Jiang Qing was protecting Shang Yao. But from Xiao Zheng's point of view, Jiang Qing obviously had the intention of speaking up for Shang Yao. As for why and what was the reason. Xiao Zheng wasn't a roundworm in Jiang Qing's stomach, so he couldn't tell.
Shang Yao Smiled and said, "That's right. Mr. Xiao. Just like what Little Qing said, it's just a meal, why do you have to be so calculative? Could it be that Mr. Xiao doesn't consider me, Shang Yao, as a friend? "
One must know that Shang Yao had just gone to the Longfeng Restaurant to support him last night. If Xiao Zheng dared to say that they weren't friends at this moment, he wouldn't know how to behave.
In just one round, Xiao Zheng was forced into a corner by Shang Yao. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Then I'll do as you say."
Shang Yao smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
After chatting for a while, the dishes were served very quickly.
As the entire restaurant was booked by Shang Yao, the dishes were served very quickly. In less than 15 minutes, plates of spicy and delicious Sichuan dishes were served. It wasn't hard to imagine that the kitchen would definitely have one chef in charge of one person and they would take turns to serve the dishes. Firstly, it could ensure the heat of the dishes. Secondly, it wouldn't make the customers wait for too long.
After the dishes were served, Shang Yao invited Jiang Qing and Xiao Zheng to eat. She also picked up a piece of fish with pickled cabbage and asked Xiao Zheng while eating, "Mr. Xiao, is the food to your liking?"
"It's delicious." Xiao Zheng loved spicy food. It was just that he had to adapt to the taste of spicy food since he was living with Elder Lin. Other than the occasional hot pot where he could eat spicy food to his heart's content, he usually didn't add too much chili even when he was cooking. Otherwise, Lin Huayin wouldn't like it.
"Eat more if you like it," Shang Yao said thoughtfully. "After this meal, I won't be able to eat it again in the future."
As soon as he said that, not only Jiang Qing, but even Xiao Zheng was quite surprised. He stared at Shang Yao and asked, "What does Miss Shang mean?"
"Mr Xiao, please don't misunderstand." Shang Yao smiled and explained. "I'm just lamenting that this old shop, which has been open for nearly 15 years, can't withstand the operation of capital and is about to close down."
"Really?" Jiang Qing asked in surprise. "This shop's business is booming. There's a long queue every day. Why is it closing down for no reason? "
Even Jiang Qing, who rarely went out to eat, would occasionally come here for a meal after work. Based on the profits of this shop, it was already strange that it didn't develop into a chain. Why is it closing down?
Jiang Qing couldn't understand the thinking of a soldier, but Xiao Zheng guessed the ins and outs after thinking about it for a while.
"The shop was bought by someone with a lot of money?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"Yes." Shang Yao nodded and said regretfully. "What a pity for such a famous old shop."
Xiao Zheng frowned. He didn't understand why Shang Yao chose this place to treat him out of all places. She even said such a thing at the dining table. What is she trying to do? What is she trying to hint at?
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Zheng asked after a moment of silence, "Who bought this shop?"
Xiao Zheng's question made Shang Yao very satisfied. It was as if she said so much and did so much just to wait for this question from Xiao Zheng.
"You must have guessed it." Shang Yao kept him guessing and didn't answer directly.
Xiao Zheng really wanted to slap her. Knock out the two big front teeth of this woman who doesn't speak human language.
Is she crazy? Can't she just say it? She's a three-year-old, and she still needs to guess?
The previously arrogant and despotic Shang Yao was annoying, but now, she seemed easygoing and generous, and her brain was clearly more annoying than before. Is intelligence supposed to be shown by keeping people guessing? Can't she learn from Old Lin's style?
How classy!
But no matter how he complained in his heart, Xiao Zheng still used his brain to think for a while. Soon, he decided on a few candidates.
First. Lin Chaotian.
For a shop on this street where every inch of land was worth gold, and Shang Yao personally came out to explain, the one who bought it was definitely not an ordinary person. It was very likely to be Shang Jingtian's old rival, Lin Chaotian.
Second. Chang Yishan.
Considering Lin Chaotian was from the Shang Family's point of view. Considering Chang Yishan was from Xiao Zheng's own point of view. Shang Yao took the initiative to find Xiao Zheng, how could it be something that had nothing to do with him? That Shang Yao really didn't change at all, she was still a complete idiot.
Third. The possibility was the highest, but also the lowest. It was the Shang Family who bought it.
After a detailed analysis, Xiao Zheng ate a mouthful of fish with pickled vegetables and said unhurriedly, "Chang Yishan?"
Shang Yao's eyes lit up and she raised the corner of her lips. "If anyone dares to say that Chang Yishan is the smartest man under the age of forty in Beijing again, I'll definitely slap him to death."
Xiao Zheng said humbly: "I was just guessing."
"Guessing is so accurate, if you were to really guess, wouldn't you be able to deduce why Chang Yishan bought this land?" Shang Yao asked. "Mr Xiao, why don't you guess what Chang Yishan is going to do with this land?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "What he wants to do has nothing to do with me. I don't have the time to care about him. "
Shang Yao took a sip of tea and smiled: "Not caring about other people's business is a virtue, but if you don't even care about your rival's business, then it's not wise. Mr Xiao, what do you think? "
Xiao Zheng heard this and stared straight at Shang Yao: "He's not my only rival. If I have to care about everyone, where would I have the time to care about my own life? "
Shang Yao had a smile on her face as she carefully looked at Xiao Zheng, who had tall facial features but wasn't very handsome. After a while, she slowly said: "No wonder my father praised you as a brave man. Mr Xiao is indeed broad-minded. "
"You flatter me." Xiao Zheng looked at Shang Yao. "Miss Shang didn't invite me to dinner today just to tell me that Chang Yishan bought a piece of land, right?"
"Other than this piece of land, he also bought a person's heart." Shang Yao said meaningfully. "A woman's heart that might hinder Mr Xiao."
Xiao Zheng's brain was working at full speed, but his mouth was very gentle: "It seems that I not only owe Miss Shang a meal today, but I also owe her an informant fee."
Shang Yao heard him say this and bluntly said: "As far as I know, Chang Yishan and Dong Bijun have reached a deep cooperative relationship. In the near future, it might cause great harm to Mr Xiao. "
Xiao Zheng's face was stern as he said word by word: "Miss Shang, my family's upbringing doesn't allow me to criticize my elders behind their backs. Please stop before you go too far. "
