Upon seeing that Tan Xiu recognized him, the fat middle-aged man immediately felt proud and said with a smile, "It's my duty. It's my job. I thought I would never see my idol again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet you here today. Moreover, I didn't expect that this restaurant would be opened by your family. I've heard from them many times that your family's restaurant is very good. The food is rich, the price is cheap, and the taste is also good. "
"Thank you for the compliment."
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile, then turned around and walked inside again.
The fat middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment as he watched Tan Xiu walk away. He was somewhat confused, thinking that his words had dissatisfied Tan Xiu.
"What the hell? Trying to get close to a kid, yet the kid ignored you? It's obvious that your warm face was met with a cold butt! "The middle-aged woman who helped him just now looked at the fat middle-aged man with contempt and ridiculed.
In an instant.
The fat middle-aged man's face turned livid.
Tan Xiu, who had walked a few steps away, could clearly hear the ridicule of the middle-aged woman behind him. He slightly furrowed his brows and stopped. He looked back at the familiar waiter and said, "I remember telling my Mom to reserve one or two of the most luxurious private rooms to entertain those distinguished guests. Do we reserve any in our restaurant? "
"We reserve two," answered the waiter.
"Is there anyone in there now?" asked Tan Xiu.
"One of them is occupied. It's a city leader," answered the waiter. "There's still one vacant!"
Tan Xiu said, "Let them use the vacant one! I'm acquainted with this Fat Big Brother, and he's a good man. "
"Alright!"
The waiter nodded respectfully.
In an instant.
The fat middle-aged man was stunned again. Tan Xiu's praise turned his anger into joy. He even shot a grateful look at Tan Xiu.
The middle-aged woman's breathing slightly stagnated, and anger immediately appeared on her face. She reached out to pull the fierce-looking middle-aged man next to her and wanted to leave. The middle-aged man looked at the fat middle-aged man in surprise. Then, he turned to the middle-aged woman and shouted in a low voice, "Don't mess around. Our family has finally gathered here today, and he even gave us the best private room in the restaurant. He's already giving us a lot of face."
"Hmph …"
The middle-aged woman was obviously a little afraid of the fierce-looking man. She snorted coldly and resentfully turned her head away.
Tan Xiu didn't care about these small things anymore. When he came to his mother's office, he found that his mother was using a calculator to calculate the accounts. Seeing the smile on her face, Tan Xiu also felt comfortable in his heart.
"Mom, the restaurant's business is so good. I think you should hire someone to help you manage your finances."
Upon seeing Tan Xiu, Su Lingyun's eyes immediately lit up. She put down the account book in her hand and smilingly said, "What are you talking about, kid? The job of managing the money could not be handed over to someone else. What if someone falsified the accounts? Although I'm old, I'm still smart. I can handle it. "
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Who said my mother is old? You will always be young and beautiful in my heart. Oh right, I'm on vacation now. I don't have to go to school tomorrow or the day after. I'll take the admission ticket to take the exam the day after that. The venue is in our school. "
With a concerned expression, Su Lingyun said, "Xiu, don't feel pressured. Just treat it as an ordinary exam. Even if we can't pass the entrance exam to a key university, I'll be satisfied if we can go to an ordinary university. "
"I'm confident that I'll be the provincial top scorer for you," Tan Xiu said.
Amused by Tan Xiu's words, Su Lingyun scolded with a smile, "Smelly brat, you only know how to make your mother happy. That's right, have you finished eating? I'll cook for you myself … "
"I've already eaten," Tan Xiu quickly said. "I've been tutoring a few classmates recently, so they invited me to eat tonight."
Looking at his gray-haired mother, Tan Xiu thought for a moment and decided not to go back to South Gate Town tonight. Instead, he would go back to his real home. Spending more time with his mother was his life's biggest wish.
In the early hours of the morning.
Tan Xiu accompanied Su Lingyun to lock the door and strolled home. The street lights outside were dim and there were few pedestrians. The traffic on the road was like an endless stream of dragons.
"Mom, do you come home at this time every day? Alone? " Tan Xiu's expression was a bit unsightly. He used his divine sense to observe, but he didn't see Banshou and the others nearby.
"Yeah!" Su Lingyun said with a smile. "Anyway, this place is very close to our home, and it's only a dozen minutes walk. Look at these street lights, they illuminate the ground, so you don't have to worry about spraining your ankle. "
"What time does the restaurant open every day?" Tan Xiu asked.
"I come here at 9 AM every day," Su Lingyun said. "Banshou and the others are the ones who buy vegetables and meat in the morning. Otherwise, I'll be exhausted to death. "
Tan Xiu nodded and didn't say anything more. He was thinking that his mother would go home late every day, and it was not safe at night. He must find someone to protect her in secret. Nowadays, it was better to be safe than sorry. If something bad happened to his mother, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Back at home …
Tan Xiu was lying on the familiar bed and looking at the familiar scene in the room. He felt a headache because of the lack of manpower in his heart. When he was in the Immortal World, he had a large number of loyal and devoted subordinates. No matter what the matter was, as long as he opened his mouth, the Immortals would do it.
But now!
He had just returned to Earth not long ago, and there were a lot of things that he had to do by himself. He couldn't be lacking in skills. If he wanted to do his own things, if he wanted to earn money to cultivate, and if he wanted to go to university as his mother wished, he couldn't take the time to protect his mother.
"Should I cultivate some trusted aides?"
This thought emerged inside Tan Xiu's mind. However, in this era where money was the mother, he found that he was really too poor. Although he had gotten a lot of money recently, he only had a few million yuan left. For example, the money he got from Tie Long and the compensation from the Rising Dragon Martial School were all taken by Kang Xia to develop the company. Moreover, he had spent a lot of money to buy medicinal herbs recently.
"I owe Chen Zhizhong 2.5 billion yuan, and 100 million yuan from Gu Xiaoxue. Where can I get a lot of money? "
Tan Xiu pondered for a long time and finally put aside the idea of "cultivating trusted aides" at the bottom of his heart.
"Knock, knock …"
The dull knocking sound on the door woke up Tan Xiu, who was gradually sleeping. When he put on his clothes and looked at the time, he found that it was two o 'clock in the night.
"Who's knocking the door so late?"
Tan Xiu's brows deeply wrinkled as he walked out of the room. He saw his mother, Su Lingyun, also coming out with clothes draped over her shoulders.
"Why would someone knock our door in the middle of the night?" Su Lingyun was somewhat hesitant. She didn't know whether she should open the door or not. After all, there was no peephole on the door. It was unclear whether the person outside was a good person or a bad person.
Tan Xiu said, "Take a look and you'll know."
After saying that!
He strode to the door and opened it. The first thing that hit his nose was the pungent smell of alcohol. Immediately after, Su Shangwen's clothes were disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot as he stumbled inside.
Tan Xiu's eyes and hands were sharp. He grabbed Su Shangwen's collar and directly threw him outside the door. He watched him heavily fall to the ground with an indifferent expression.
"What are you doing here?"
Su Shangwen struggled to crawl up from the ground. He shook his head and saw Tan Xiu standing in front of him. He immediately cursed and pounced at him, "You damn little bastard! It's all because of you! If … if it weren't for you, would this Father be so miserable now? Compensate me … Compensate my company, compensate my money … "
"Pa …"
Tan Xiu slapped Su Shangwen's face, causing him to sit on the cement floor outside the door. He then indifferently said, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you drink too much, then go home and sleep. Don't make a scene here. Else, it won't be as simple as losing your company. You won't be able to guarantee your own safety either. "
Su Shangwen covered his face and scolded while spewing out the disgusting smell of alcohol, "You … you little bastard, you've grown wings, haven't you? You dare to hit … hit this Father? Would your family be so good now if it weren't for this Father? Your mother … mother and son would have gone begging and died in some corner of the alley. "
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and turned to look at Su Shangwen, whose face had turned pale. He then said in a deep voice, "Mom, if you trust me, let me solve this matter. Go rest!"
Su Lingyun hesitated and whispered, "Xiu, he …"
"I ordered someone to do it. Don't worry," said Tan Xiu. "You can rest assured that there will be no problem with his personal safety."
"You …"
Su Lingyun stared blankly at Tan Xiu. Suddenly, she found that her son had really grown up and no longer needed her to protect him. Furthermore, she also found that her son seemed to have matured a lot in the past two months and became a bit mysterious.
"Alright!"
Su Lingyun was already disappointed with this big brother of hers, so she shook her head and turned to return to her room.
Tan Xiu walked out of the room and closed the door from the outside. Then, he reached out to pick up Su Shangwen and strode downstairs. Arriving at the roadside, he fiercely slapped Su ShangWen's face once again, directly knocking him out. He then stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, tossed the taxi driver 200 RMB and told him Su ShangWen's home address.
As the taxi went far away, Tan Xiu retracted his gaze and dialed Chen Zhizhong's number. Although it was already 2 AM in the middle of the night, he had no choice but to disturb Chen Zhizhong. In order to prevent his mother from being harassed, he must solve Su Shangwen's matter as soon as possible.
He was very glad that he came back to stay tonight. Otherwise, with Su Shangwen's character, his mother would definitely be insulted or even beaten.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Chen Zhizhong's voice came from the phone.
"Are you asleep?" asked Tan Xiu.
"Not yet. I have something to deal with. Do you have any instructions for me? "
"How's the progress on Su Shangwen's matter?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I've already begun to close the net. Su Shangwen's Shangwen Real Estate Company has a lot of problems, and there are even a lot of shady accounts. At most, he will be arrested in five days. Even if he can't be sentenced to life imprisonment, I'm afraid he will have to spend more than 20 years in prison. Also … "
"What else?" asked Tan Xiu.
