The atmosphere at the dining table went from relaxed at the beginning to depressing, and then to the current heavy atmosphere. Jiang Qing only felt that the conversation between the two was extremely profound. It was also sharp and incisive.
Until the end, when Shang Yao used her trump card and used Xiao Zheng's opponent's deviant behavior to suppress him, Xiao Zheng's clever response opened Jiang Qing's eyes.
My upbringing doesn't allow me to criticize my elders behind their backs!
A simple but righteous sentence shattered all of Shang Yao's conspiracy. It also broke Shang Yao's inescapable net. He successfully broke free from Shang Yao's net.
On the other hand, Shang Yao, facing Xiao Zheng's stern response, her face showed a hint of discomfort. Perhaps because her plan was disrupted, or perhaps because she didn't expect Xiao Zheng to answer like this, after a short silence, Shang Yao smiled and returned to normal: "I was rude. I hope Mr. Xiao doesn't mind. "
"Don't mention it." Xiao Zheng smiled. "I was too serious. How can friends not talk about gossip when they are chatting? "
Seeing that Xiao Zheng gave her a way out, she took the opportunity to walk down. She raised her teacup and said: "Mr. Xiao, I toast you."
"Cheers."
After being rejected by Xiao Zheng, Shang Yao no longer brought up these topics that violated Xiao Zheng's upbringing. She only focused on the dishes, as well as the history of this Sichuan restaurant. But Xiao Zheng wasn't interested in these pointless topics, and Shang Yao also found it boring. The meal was over in half an hour. Most of the dishes on the table were untouched. Obviously, no one's mind was on the table.
"Mr. Xiao. It seems that today's dishes don't suit your taste. "Shang Yao paid the bill, stood up and said with a smile. "Why don't you pick a place later and we'll drink to our hearts' content?"
"I'll treat you next time. Miss Shang, please don't decline." Xiao Zheng smiled and stood up to shake hands with her.
This woman was not simple at all.
Just during the meal, Shang Yao's composure and composure was enough to make most men blush with shame. But she could be so unbearable in front of Lin Xiaozhu and the others. How could an ordinary person possess such shrewdness? How could Lin Xiaozhu compare to this kind of mind?
"Not simple." Xiao Zheng muttered to himself as he watched Shang Yao leave.
"Of course it's not simple." Jiang Qing's stiff face showed a hint of guilt as he slowly said. "She could play against my father at the age of eight. A twelve-year-old could control the atmosphere of a meal. When my father was only a junior officer, he knew that she would become a great person. "
"So you don't believe the rumors about her in the market?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously and sat back at the table. Without Shang Yao's disturbance, the two of them might be more interested in eating.
A table full of dishes, they couldn't just waste it, right?
"I don't believe it." Jiang Qing shook his head. "My father said that this may be a game of chess played by Shang Jingtian."
"It is indeed a game of chess. And he used his daughter as a chess piece. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "One is a good chess player, the other is a good chess piece. The cooperation is seamless and perfect. Even his family was deceived. "
Jiang Qing's expression was subtle. After a long silence, he took the initiative to speak, "Xiao Zheng, I'm sorry."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I used you." Jiang Qing said frankly.
"Use?" Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and teased. "If she was the type that I liked, not only would I not feel that I was using her, I would even give you, the matchmaker, a red packet."
Jiang Qing frowned and shook his head. "The Jiang family owes Shang Jingtian a favor. I'm repaying my father's debt. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "As long as you don't plan to kill me. You just tricked me to come over for a meal. Don't we even have this little friendship? "
Jiang Qing was slightly stunned. He looked up and said, "You don't blame me?"
"I do!" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face.
Jiang Qing was surprised to see him change his attitude faster than flipping a book.
"I've been a Long Formation Instructor for so long! But you don't give me a single mission! Has the country forgotten about me? When will it be my turn to act? "Xiao Zhengyi said with a straight face.
Jiang Qing heard that and the corner of his mouth curled up. He said word by word, "Even a piece of toilet paper is useful to society and the people. Not to mention you. Don't worry. There will be a day when you have the chance to appear. "
Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "You're also a fan of Master Xing?"
"Hardcore," Jiang Qing said.
"Nice to meet you." Xiao Zheng shook hands with him and said exaggeratedly. "I almost became the vice president of the Star Fans Club. Unfortunately, I was too busy with work and could only step down. "
Jiang Qing looked at Xiao Zheng strangely as if he was looking at an idiot.
Jiang Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip. Perhaps after calming himself down, he continued, "Can I ask you something?"
"Speak." Xiao Zheng felt insulted and was a little unhappy.
"I heard you opened a clubhouse called Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant?" Jiang Qing asked tentatively.
"You just found out?" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "It opened yesterday. You didn't even send a flower basket to congratulate me. You're not a friend. "
"I was on duty yesterday," Jiang Qing explained.
"Forget it. A woman like you who doesn't know the ways of the world, even if you don't have a job, I'm afraid you won't go. "Xiao Zheng complained.
It was rare that Jiang Qing didn't fight back. He just said with a strange expression, "I heard your clubhouse is a membership system. Only members can spend money inside?"
"You're ignorant, aren't you?" Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing. "Which clubhouse with a little bit of class doesn't have a membership system? Don't tell me you're going to entertain any Tom, Dick or Harry? Isn't that lowering the level of the clubhouse? "
Jiang Qing's expression became more and more strange. He carefully looked up and asked, "Then — does your clubhouse have more membership cards?"
Xiao Zheng's expression changed and he asked curiously, "Why? Are you trying to be cultured?"
"No." Jiang Qing shook his head.
"Then why are you asking this?" Xiao Zheng said condescendingly.
"General Qi wants to ask you for a membership —" Jiang Qing's words were straightforward, but his tone was unusually euphemistic. "Is it convenient for you?"
"No!" Xiao Zheng shook his head firmly.
"Ah?" Jiang Qing reached out for something for the first time in her life, but she was rejected. This made her feel a strong sense of frustration and helplessness.
But this was a task given to her by General Qi, and she had promised it at that time. If she couldn't get it, how could she explain it to General Qi?
"If General Qi wants a membership card, why didn't he come and get it himself? Why did he send you, an errand boy, to ask me for it? "Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "Do you know that the cost of customizing a membership card is worth 200,000 yuan? Do you know that a membership card can have one million yuan of free spending every year? You reached out and asked me for one? If the cardholder lives for ten years, I will lose 10 million yuan for no reason. If he lives for 100 years, I will lose 100 million yuan. According to General Qi's physical fitness and age, he can live for another 20 or 30 years, right? 20 or 30 million yuan, Captain Jiang. Do you think I'm running a charity? "
