Was this a trick?
Life was more ordinary and small episodes. There were only a few ups and downs, but they often determined the direction of life.
For Qin Sheng, what happened today was just a small episode. But for the elders of the Tan and Zhang families who were going to meet tonight, what happened recently determined the ups and downs of their lives.
Qin Sheng was at a different level now, so he didn't need to lower himself to the level of his sixth uncle and Liu Qiang. What he really needed to face tonight were the two old foxes.
They had been busy since noon, so they hadn't eaten yet. So they randomly found a barbecue stall on the way back. This was the peak season for barbecue, and there were barbecue stalls everywhere. Qin Sheng had traveled all over the country, and his favorite barbecue was still the night market in Xi 'an. The taste, together with Tsingtao Jiujiu Beer, was enough to make him remember it no matter where he went.
However, before that, Qin Sheng first asked for Yan Pan's opinion. As the only woman who had followed Qin Sheng to the northwest for a business trip, Qin Sheng certainly had to care about her feelings. She was not some vampire boss who exploited the workers.
Moreover, Yan Pan might not be used to this kind of food. It depended on her childhood habits. If she came from a rich family, she might be used to living like a princess and might not be able to accept the taste. After all, her stomach might not be able to accept it. Fortunately, Yan Pan had no objections, and she also wanted to try this local specialty.
There was still enough time. Liu Changxi had already had dinner, so there was no need to wait for him. The place to meet was a teahouse, not a hotel or a restaurant. After all, in this kind of atmosphere, they might not be able to eat much.
The night market had just started. Because they had something to do at night, they didn't drink. They ordered a few bottles of Xi 'an's special drink, Bing Feng. This drink was the uncrowned king in Xi' an. No matter how hard you tried, Pepsi or Coca-Cola, you could not enter the Xi 'an market.
"This soda tastes good." Yan Pan didn't eat much. She only tasted a few mouthfuls of barbecue and grilled vegetables, and then sipped the drink.
Almost all girls would want to lose weight, let alone a beauty like Yan Pan. From her figure, it could be seen that she definitely had a strict diet and often exercised.
Hao Lei smiled and replied, "Didn't you read it? It says that we've been drinking it since we were young. We loved drinking it when we were young, but I don't think it tastes as good as before. Maybe it's because there are too many choices nowadays."
Qin Sheng thought that he would have to rush to Gansu after he finished his work tomorrow. He said casually, "Yan Pan, after you finish your work tomorrow afternoon, you can go back to Beijing directly. Or you can stay in Xi 'an for a few days. You can take it as a paid vacation. I will talk to Mr. Xiao."
Yan Pan was a little surprised and was stunned. She thought that there was something that made Qin Sheng dissatisfied. She was very concerned about this job. After all, not everyone could become the assistant of the future crown prince of the group. Moreover, it could be seen that compared to Wei Xiaoxia, Qin Sheng valued her more.
"Chairman Qin, did I do something wrong?" Yan Pan asked carefully. Women were always so sensitive.
Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "Don't overthink it. I may have to go to Gansu tomorrow evening to deal with some private affairs. I don't know when I will be back yet, so you can go back first."
Hearing this, Yan Pan was completely relieved. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had thought too much. If Qin Sheng was not satisfied with her, he would not have asked her to take a paid leave.
Hao Lei was confused and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you going to Gansu all of a sudden?"
"There is something urgent that needs to be dealt with. You and Lao Chang will go with me. If it were not for Uncle Lin, we might have been there now." Qin Sheng frowned slightly. He also hoped that nothing would happen to Nangong before he went there.
Hao Lei and Chang Baji looked at each other. It meant that things were a little serious …
After dinner, they rushed to the teahouse in Qujiang, which was also the place where Liu Changxi had asked Qin Sheng to have tea last time. At this time, Liu Changxi was already waiting inside.
After seeing Liu Changxi, Qin Sheng said casually, "Thank you so much for today's matter, Brother Liu." He also had many ways to deal with this matter, but he had to owe others a favor. Nowadays, he was not the same as before. He had to return the favor with other things. As for Liu Changxi, he did not need to be afraid. Anyway, he owed so much and the two families were in a cooperative relationship. There would always be a way to make it up to him.
Liu Changxi laughed and said, "It's just a small matter. Why are you thanking me?"
"When will they come?" Qin Sheng changed the topic and asked.
He had informed them through Liu Changxi, and they had already agreed. As for whether they would come or not, Qin Sheng did not care. It would be better if they did not come. When Uncle Lin came out tomorrow, it would be the beginning of his revenge on these two families.
This matter was already out of Liu Changxi's control. It was completely under Qin Sheng's control. At that time, he had already given Tan Feng and Zhang Jinlei face to meet Qin Sheng. Fortunately, Qin Sheng was not angry.
"It's up to them whether they come or not. After eight o 'clock, we will leave directly." Liu Changxi said carelessly.
Qin Sheng smiled and said nothing. Sometimes when he thought about it, it was actually quite good to be a local tyrant like the Liu Family. They had deep connections in the local area and had people in the imperial court. As long as they did not deliberately seek trouble, they could completely live a carefree life.
For a family like the Qin Family, which was rooted in Sijiu City, it was like a boat sailing against the current. If they did not move forward, they would retreat. Moreover, they had to be careful in every step. There were too many interests and relationships involved. If they were slightly careless, they would lose everything.
Before eight o 'clock, when it was just past seven forty, Liu Changxi's confidant pushed the door open and came in. "Brother Liu, they are here."
Qin Sheng and Liu Changxi's expressions changed slightly at the same time. They finally came.
This was the largest box in the whole teahouse. At this moment, apart from Liu Changxi, there were only Chang Baji and Hao Lei. Yan Pan had already returned to Jindi Furong Shijia. Qin Sheng asked her to go there to take care of Auntie Wang and Xinxin, just to accompany them to relieve their boredom. After all, she was not on such an occasion.
Not long after, the door of the box was pushed open again. Six men from the Tan Family and the Zhang Family walked into the box slowly. In front of them were two men over 50 years old, who looked a little tired. They were Tan Hongping and Zhang Deshun. Behind them were Tan Feng, Tan Zhen, Zhang Jinlei, and Wu Song, whom Qin Sheng had met before. They were all young people who were in charge of the two families.
It was quite a grand show.
Except for them, there was no one else.
With a smile on his face, Qin Sheng stared at these people from the Tan Family and the Zhang Family thoughtfully. He did not intend to stand up at all. Now he was totally confident. Moreover, why should he care about the feelings of the Tan Family and the Zhang Family? In the beginning, did they care about the feelings of the Lin Family?
As a local tyrant, Liu Changxi had met the elders of the Tan Family and the Zhang Family several times. He smiled happily and smoothed things over. "Uncle Tan, Uncle Zhang, you are here. Please take a seat."
Tan Feng, Tan Zhen, Zhang Jinlei, and Wu Song had all met Qin Sheng before. They knew this young man's temper better. They looked at Qin Sheng with complicated expressions.
Tan Hongping and Zhang Deshun looked calm. If it were in the past, of course, they would not take a young man like Qin Sheng seriously. They were not on the same level at all. However, in the face of reality today, they had to lower their heads.
This young man named Qin Sheng was not scary. What was scary was his background. They had to take him seriously. After all, they were not even qualified to meet his elders.
Tan Hongping said politely, "Thank you, Young Master Liu."
By calling him Young Master Liu, he gave Liu Changxi enough face.
Only then did the elders of the Tan Family and the Zhang Family sit down conveniently. The others all stood behind them. Today, they came with full sincerity. As for whether they could come to an agreement or not, it would depend on Qin Sheng's mood. If Qin Sheng wanted to humiliate the elders of the two families, they would not tolerate it at all.
Qin Sheng had met Tan Hongping and Zhang Deshun before. However, it was when he was young. He had long forgotten them. After all, at that time, the two families and the Lin Family were in a cooperative relationship.
After they sat down, Qin Sheng took the initiative to say, "Two old masters, I finally meet you. I thought you didn't want to see me at all."
Qin Sheng's opening was provocative.
"If I had not been too busy recently, I would have gone to Beijing to visit Young Master Qin a few days ago. In the end, it was delayed until today. I hope Young Master Qin won't blame me," Zhang Deshun said politely. His attitude was very humble. Originally, he wanted to call Qin Sheng Little Qin to build a relationship. After all, he also remembered this adopted son of the Lin Family. However, he was afraid that it would be too abrupt.
Qin Sheng sneered and said, "Really?"
Tan Hongping smiled apologetically and said, "We do want to see Young Master Qin, but we are afraid to disturb him. So today, we have to thank Young Master Liu for giving us such an opportunity."
Tan Hongping said this because he wanted Liu Changxi to say a few words for them. Unfortunately, Liu Changxi did not want to get involved in this mess. He smiled and drank his tea as if he did not hear it.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Uncle Tan, the way you talk is different. I'm afraid you don't want to see me at all."
"How is that possible?" Zhang Deshun quickly denied.
Qin Sheng said with some contempt, "I remember meeting you two when I was a child. At that time, I did not expect that we would meet like this. Of course, I also did not expect that there would be such things later. I remember that Uncle Lin valued you two very much at that time."
Tan Hongping and Zhang Deshun were a little embarrassed. At that time, they had done a good job, but they had never expected that there would be hidden dangers today. If they had a choice, they would definitely not harm the Lin Family.
This kind of atmosphere made Tan Feng, who had a bad temper, feel very uncomfortable. After all, he saw a young man who was younger than him casually bully his father.
Therefore, Tan Feng snorted and said, "Young Master Qin, what's the use of saying these things now? You want to see our parents. Today, they are also here. Just tell us directly, what do we need to do to let us go?"
As soon as Tan Feng finished speaking, Qin Sheng looked angry. As a junior, it was not his turn to speak today.
Therefore, Qin Sheng said very rudely, "Oh, it seems that you are in charge of the Tan Family. Well, then I'll be straightforward. Let us go. When did I say that I would let you two go? "
Tan Hongping and Zhang Deshun's faces changed instantly when he was so direct and domineering.
Tan Hongping stood up directly, turned around and slapped his eldest son Tan Feng's face without hesitation. This slap was full of strength. At the same time, he scolded, "Shut up, I'm not dead yet. Since when is it your turn to speak?"
Tan Feng was stunned. He did not expect that his father would slap him in front of everyone. However, he did not dare to be angry at all. He could only gnash his teeth and say, "Sorry, Dad. I was wrong."
Tan Hongping continued, "Apologize to Young Master Qin now."
Tan Feng did not hesitate. He lowered his head and said, "Young Master Qin, I'm sorry. Don't be angry."
