Liu Zhe looked up at Xia Ruofei awkwardly and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Get up, get up!"
Then he said to Hou Liang, "Liang, what's going on? Liu Zhe is my friend. Why is he squatting there? "
Hou Liang said, "Ah," and quickly walked over.
Liu Zhe was still squatting there with his face covered in dirt and didn't dare to move. He was considered a famous person in Sanshan, but it was the first time he was so embarrassed.
Hou Liang quickly helped Liu Zhe up and said, "Brother, it's a misunderstanding … I really didn't know you were Ruofei's friend! Tell me, why didn't you explain yourself? I saw you with these idiots, so … Hey! Isn't this like a flood rushing to the Dragon King's temple? It's all my fault! Blame me, blame me … "
Liu Zhe hurriedly said, "Young Master Hou, I … I did come with Tian Chu and the others …"
Hou Liang couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.
At this time, Xia Ruofei came over and said, "Liu Zhe, why are you saying this? You are you, Tian Xiaojun is Tian Xiaojun. Do I have to be so unreasonable? "
Hou Liang suddenly came back to his senses and said immediately, "Yes, yes, yes! Brother, it's all my fault. I let you be wronged! How about this, I'll hold a banquet for you today as an apology! "
"No need, no need …" Liu Zhe quickly said.
He was a little flattered. At the same time, he once again had an intuitive understanding of Xia Ruofei's power. Just now, Tian Xiaojun, who was already shining in his eyes, didn't even dare to breathe when he met Hou Liang. Moreover, Hou Liang didn't even look at Tian Xiaojun. But because of Xia Ruofei's words, Hou Liang's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. They were even more intimate than real brothers. This was too obvious.
In the past, Liu Zhe only thought that Xia Ruofei had a good relationship with Song Wei, or even with Family Song. Moreover, his personality was more forthright and generous, so he was willing to make friends with Xia Ruofei. However, in his heart, he more or less thought that Xia Ruofei had benefited from Song Wei.
After today's events, Liu Zhe finally realized that Xia Ruofei didn't need to benefit from Song Wei at all. He was fully qualified to interact with Song Wei on an equal footing. Perhaps even Song Wei's influence wasn't as good as Xia Ruofei's.
Liu Zhe at least knew that Song Wei's identity wasn't enough for these rich playboys in Beijing to treat him like this.
Hou Liang said seriously, "You have to apologize! If you're wrong, you have to admit it! I, Hou Liang, am not an unreasonable person … "
"This …" Liu Zhe's expression was difficult.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Liu Zhe, Liang Zi, let me say something. There's no need to hold a banquet to apologize so formally. We're all friends. Liu Zhe can also go in with us. Liang Zi can toast Liu Zhe when the time comes."
"I think that's fine! Let's do that! "Hou Liang said with a smile.
Liu Zhe's head was a little dizzy. He didn't dare to imagine that he would have the opportunity to drink and chat merrily with these rich playboys in Beijing. He even had Hou Liang call him brother.
One had to know that this wasn't just a qualification that could be flaunted outside. It had real benefits. Not only for him, but even for his father, this was a rare opportunity.
Liu Zhe felt like he was dreaming. In the end, it was Xia Ruofei who patted Liu Zhe's shoulder with a smile and asked, "Why are you in a daze? I'm asking you a question. "
"Ah?" Liu Zhe came back to his senses and asked embarrassedly, "Am I disturbing you guys too much …?"
"What are you talking about?" Xia Ruofei pretended to be angry and said, "Today was originally a small gathering of friends. My brothers from Beijing came to Sanshan to play. I didn't want to invite anyone else, but since you're here today, we're all friends. What's there to disturb about having a meal together?"
Liu Zhe knew that Xia Ruofei was helping him.
He was also very touched. After all, he was the reason why Tian Xiaojun was able to find Xia Ruofei so quickly.
Although he was unwilling in his heart and was forced to do so, and he also reported the news to Xia Ruofei in advance, objectively speaking, he played the role of an accomplice.
Not only did Xia Ruofei not blame him, but he also helped him. This was enough to convince Liu Zhe.
Liu Zhe now knew about Xia Ruofei's strength. He only helped a little when the Taoyuan Company bought the Hengli Building. How could he not be touched when Xia Ruofei returned the favor like this?
Liu Zhe looked deeply at Xia Ruofei, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Brother Xia, then I'll do as you say!"
Hou Liang said with a smile, "That's right!"
Xu Zixuan and Wei Jun also gave Liu Zhe a friendly smile. Compared with the treatment Tian Xiaojun received just now, it was like heaven and hell.
"It's cold outside. Let's go in!" Xia Ruofei said.
At this moment, Zhao Yongjun's hearty laughter came from not far away, "Why is it so lively? You're not waiting for me, are you? "
Xia Ruofei had already stepped into the courtyard, but when he heard Zhao Yongjun's voice, he turned around with a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhao! You're late! "Xia Ruofei said," Be aware that you'll drink as punishment later! "
"No problem!" Zhao Yongjun said heroically, "Your Zui Ba Xian is good wine! I'll take the opportunity to drink a few more cups, haha! "
Zhao Yongjun and the others came over. In addition to Song Rui and Liu Jian, there was also a slim girl in a light yellow short down jacket, who was Song Wei.
It turned out that Zhao Yongjun and the others took a detour to pick up Song Wei.
Song Wei smiled at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, I came uninvited today. Do you not welcome me?"
"I wouldn't dare! You're a distinguished guest that I usually can't invite! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Zhao Yongjun also quickly noticed Tian Xiaojun and the other two squatting in a row by the courtyard wall, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, Xia Ruofei was the host today, and Hou Liang and the others had arrived earlier. If there was anything, Hou Liang would have already handled it. Therefore, Zhao Yongjun just glanced at them and didn't ask much.
When everyone met, they naturally introduced themselves to each other.
The main thing was that Xia Ruofei introduced his girlfriend, Ling Qingxue. Of course, he also introduced Liu Zhe to Zhao Yongjun and the others. Liu Zhe and Song Wei were already familiar with each other, so there was no need to introduce them.
Song Wei and Ling Qingxue also knew each other. The last time they ate at Ling's Private Restaurant, the two girls exchanged WeChat messages.
Therefore, the two of them smiled and nodded as a greeting.
After some small talk, the group followed Xia Ruofei into the private room in the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Tian Xiaojun and the other two were still squatting awkwardly facing the courtyard wall.
Just now, Xia Ruofei and the others were chatting so enthusiastically beside them, but no one paid attention to them. Except for Zhao Yongjun who glanced at them when he arrived, everyone else seemed to treat them like air.
After the lively scene of small talk, the courtyard outside became quiet. They could faintly hear the carefree laughter of Xia Ruofei and the others in the room, which was fully heated. Tian Xiaojun and the other two squatted by the wall in the cold wind, and their hearts were filled with horror.
Hou Liang and Xu Zixuan were already big shots that Tian Xiaojun didn't dare to provoke even in his dreams. He didn't expect that there would be a few more behind them. Liu Jian, Zhao Yongjun, Song Rui … each and every name was like thunder to Tian Xiaojun's ears.
And these people were so familiar with Xia Ruofei, and even faintly felt that Xia Ruofei was their center.
What kind of person was this?
Why hadn't he heard of him in Beijing?
Tian Xiaojun also wailed in his heart.
If he had known that Xia Ruofei was so powerful, he wouldn't have dared to have any ideas about the Taoyuan Company! Just the thought of it was enough to frighten him, let alone stupidly bringing his men to the Three Mountains.
And not only did he come to Sanshan, but he also couldn't wait to find Xia Ruofei through Liu Zhe.
Now that he thought about it, Xia Ruofei treated him like a clown in the room just now! His clumsy performance not only made him a laughingstock, but the words he said were like spilled water, unable to be taken back.
Tian Xiaojun didn't even dare to think about what Zhao Yongjun and the others would do to him.
"Brother Jun, what … what should we do?" Xia Zhe was shivering from the cold, and asked blankly.
Tian Xiaojun said in annoyance, "You ask me, but who should I ask? I don't even know what to do now! "
"Brother Jun, why don't … we go in and apologize, and beg for mercy?" Zhong Zixin whispered.
She couldn't stand it anymore. In order to look beautiful, she wore less clothes. The weather in Sanshan was very different from that in Beijing. The cold wind seemed to penetrate into her bones, and she felt that her whole body was about to be frozen.
Tian Xiaojun said in annoyance, "Apologize now? It's too late! Let's wait and see! Let's see what kind of rules those people will come up with … "
Then, Tian Xiaojun couldn't help but stare at Xia Zhe and say, "I told you, we are all people of status, and we shouldn't fight all the time! If you were more polite just now, we wouldn't have offended Xia Ruo … Xia Shao so badly! "
Xia Zhe opened his mouth innocently, but he didn't dare to talk back.
However, he couldn't help but complain. Before they came, Tian Xiaojun said that he wanted to overwhelm Xia Ruofei with his imposing manner. However, he had an official job, so it was inconvenient for him to be in the front line. Therefore, the task of being the "main attacker" fell on Xia Zhe. Now, Tian Xiaojun blamed Xia Zhe for speaking too harshly and offending Xia Ruofei. How could Xia Zhe accept this?
…
In a private room in the courtyard.
The heater in the room was turned on. There were six people in Zhao Yongjun's group, plus Xia Ruofei, Ling Qingxue, Song Wei, and Liu Zhe, and they filled up a table of ten people.
After everyone was seated, the food and wine that had been prepared long ago was served up like flowing water.
Xia Ruofei attached great importance to today's dinner.
The ingredients were Taoyuan vegetables. He also prepared Buddha jumps over the wall and shad — these two dishes were still in the process and hadn't been served yet.
The wine was the best wine on the market, Zui Ba Xian. Considering that Ling Qingxue didn't drink white wine, Xia Ruofei specially prepared Semillon, which had been aged in the space for a long time.
This was the new batch of wine he bought from Old West's winery when he went to Australia for the first time.
Now, only half a year had passed. Not only was Old West's winery under his name, but even the Golden Oak Winery, which used to be the largest winery in the Hunter Valley, had become his property.
Every time he thought of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel emotional.
Other than Song Wei and Ling Qingxue who drank Semillon, everyone else poured Zui Ba Xian wine.
Xia Ruofei specially said to Song Wei, "I bought this wine from Australia. It's authentic Hunter Valley Semillon, produced by an old winery with a hundred years of history!"
Song Wei smiled and said, "Then I'll have to taste it!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "I've already bought that winery and improved the grape varieties this year. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to produce a new grape called Semillon next year. I'll leave some for everyone then!"
"What a nouveau riche!" Song Rui exclaimed. "You bought the whole winery without saying anything. Do you have to be so pretentious?"
Zhao Yongjun also laughed and said, "Ruofei, well done! Let these country bumpkins see the dominance of the nouveau riche Xia! "
Song Rui immediately said, "Brother Zhao, who are you calling a country bumpkin? Who are you calling a country bumpkin? You're the country bumpkin. Your whole community is a country bumpkin … "
Zhao Yongjun said calmly, "Are you sure? Most of the people living in our community are generals, and at least Lieutenant Generals … "
Song Rui was suddenly at a loss for words. He really didn't dare to answer. Those old guys in the army were not to be trifled with …
Seeing Xia Ruofei's friends bickering with each other, Ling Qingxue and Song Wei also felt that it was very interesting. They couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Zhe was a little reserved, but at the same time, he looked at Xia Ruofei with some envy.
Hou Liang deliberately sat next to Liu Zhe and talked to him from time to time. After knowing that he had "accidentally hurt" Liu Zhe, Hou Liang had always felt guilty.
"Come, come, come! Let's eat some hot dishes first, then we'll drink! "Xia Ruofei said while holding his chopsticks." But don't eat too much first! There are two main dishes later! "
Zhao Yongjun immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes! When I was in Beijing, Ruofei bragged to me about these two dishes. He said that we definitely hadn't eaten them in Beijing, and that they would definitely amaze us! "
"I'm looking forward to it!" Xu Zixuan said with a smile. "Brother Xia, don't brag too much! Brother Jun and Brother Rui are all experienced and knowledgeable! "
Xia Ruofei said confidently, "You'll know when you try it later! Come, come, come, let's eat quickly! We haven't touched our first glass of wine yet! "
So everyone picked up their chopsticks and drank their first glass of wine together under Xia Ruofei's suggestion.
Even Song Wei and Ling Qingxue couldn't help but take a big sip. It was mainly because the taste of the Semillon was too good. The wine had layers of rich fruity flavors, which left a lingering aftertaste.
