Usually, whether it was shopping or eating, Li Lan did not like the excessive enthusiasm of the sales staff. If he could not close the deal in the end, he would feel like he owed them something and would feel embarrassed.
However, today, in the face of this natural and unpretentious enthusiasm, he felt at ease. It was a wonderful feeling.
The quarrel at the intersection finally escalated into a physical fight. Two middle-aged men started throwing punches without any pattern. You punched, I punched. If you took a step back, I would take a step forward.
Among them, the crew cut guy, who was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, had the upper hand. As he waved his fists, he lifted his feet. Perhaps because he had not been training, the highest he could reach was not parallel to the ground. However, he could still occasionally land a few kicks.
The weak always attracted sympathy. The bystanders naturally did not ask who was right or wrong. They secretly cheered for the middle-aged man in blue jeans.
Unfortunately, the man in jeans did not live up to their expectations. He was pinned to the ground and took two punches. He covered his face and watched the black short-sleeved shirt walk away.
"You should have hugged his leg." A white-haired old man among the bystanders sighed. "If you hugged his leg, he would be flipped in an instant. He couldn't do anything now."
"That's right. You were stronger than him. How could you be pinned down by him?" Someone interrupted.
“.....”
The man lying on the ground had a face full of shame. Not only did he lose, but he was also criticized by others, which made him feel even more ashamed.
A girl dressed in a hotel staff uniform came out from the crowd. She quickly reported the situation to the customers at the entrance of the restaurant and explained the cause of the dispute clearly.
"The one in jeans walked to the left. A bicycle came from the opposite direction. He dodged and hit the crew cut guy in the black short-sleeved shirt. The crew cut guy was unhappy and scolded him for being blind. The one in jeans was unhappy …" The girl swayed the ponytail behind her head. She watched the man in jeans walk away slowly. She opened her mouth and described the situation more vividly. "The crew cut guy pushed him, and he pushed the crew cut guy back …"
From the bottom of his heart, Li Lan liked this place. The waiters were all talented!
Halfway through, his phone rang.
"Uncle, are you done with your work?"
"That's all I have to do." Over the phone, Fang Quan laughed heartily and said, "I turned around and you disappeared. I heard from the secretary that you went out. Where are you? I'm going to pick you up. Hurry up and come over for dinner. Let's have a good drink."
Li Lan said, "Haven't you had enough of your own restaurant? Do you want to have a change of taste? There's a Fish Mansion Hot Pot next door."
"I'll listen to you then. Wait there, I'll be there soon." Fang Quan did not decline at all. Naturally, he would listen to Li Lan's opinion.
Li Lan had just hung up the phone when he realized that the tourists in the queue had already been seated. He was the only one left outside.
The ponytail girl smiled and asked, "Boss, can you still wait? I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your call. If you want, you can go ahead with your work. "
Li Lan said, "My friend will be here soon. Please give me a private room."
The young lady said, "A private room will be vacated soon. Please wait for a while."
Li Lan nodded. In his boredom, he wanted to light a cigarette. The cigarette was halfway out of the pack when he suddenly remembered something. He put it back and put it back into his pocket.
He raised his head. His uncle, He Long, and Fang Quan were already standing in front of him. Behind them were a few relatives of the Fang and He families. He greeted them one by one.
Next to He Long was his cousin, He Anwen. He had a big face and his single eyelid was squeezed into a line.
He Anwen said, "I've been in Russia at this stage. It's not easy to hear news from you. Otherwise, I would have returned long ago. Please don't take offense."
When a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs rise to heaven. This was the best example of the He and Fang families. Because of the relationship between the He siblings, both of their families developed very well.
In the Fang family, the two brothers were naturally the most imposing. In the He family, it was He Anwen in front of him.
He Anwen did not follow the crowd to the south. Instead, he used his local advantages to start a border trade at the port. The port's largest clothing and daily necessities trade.
The trading market was a joint venture between him and a few bosses in the south. Half of the county's profits came from here.
Li Lan said, "It's nothing. You guys are all busy. I'm just an idler. When I have time, I'll stroll around."
Fang Quan waved his hand, signaling for everyone to stop talking. Regardless of whether there were seats inside, he walked in.
The restaurant's lady boss was standing by the counter, paying the bill for a group of customers. When she saw Fang Quan enter, she quickly waved for the waiter to take over the bill. She personally welcomed Fang Quan.
"Mr. Fang, my place is small. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand your good fortune." The lady boss had an oval face, red phoenix eyes, and fair skin. From her appearance, she did not look like a person in her forties.
Before Fang Quan could reply, he suddenly saw the two brothers He Long and He Anwen behind Fang Quan. His heart suddenly turned cold. "Yo, come in, come in. Look at my expression. Serves you right to be poked down."
Any one of the three of them was an influential figure in the local area, not to mention the three of them coming together!
They were completely caught off guard.
He Long said, "Sis, we're here purely to eat. You can't make us line up, right? Hurry up, my stomach is still empty. "
"That won't do." The Lady Boss hurriedly walked in front of them and welcomed them upstairs. When they sat down, the waiter just happened to bring tea over. She took the tea from the tray and placed it in front of each of them. "Don't blame me for not being a good host."
He Anwen said, "We're really here for a meal. Don't stand on ceremony. If you have any specialties, feel free to serve us."
"Don't worry, I'll get Old Zhou to cook personally. If you're not satisfied, feel free to smash our signboard." The lady boss's face was full of sincerity, but her eyes betrayed her. She did not believe his nonsense.
She knew the standard of her restaurant. Moreover, He Long was the owner of the restaurant. Fang Quan also owned the best restaurants and chefs in the area. Why would they eat at her restaurant?
Fang Quan asked Li Lan, "Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll show you the menu."
Li Lan said, "I'm fine with anything as long as it's my specialty."
"Then listen to my arrangements." The lady boss was surprised to see everyone's attitude towards Li Lan. These people might not even treat the leaders of the county like this.
She was very curious about Li Lan's identity. Since she had never met him before, she could only suppress her curiosity.
After she left the private room, Fang Quan asked He Anwen, "What are you doing in Russia this time?"
He Anwen said, "I'm just strolling around. What plans can I have?"
Fang Quan said, "You're not telling me the truth?"
