The three of them got out of the car and walked into the store. The store was brightly lit, making the interior look even more luxurious.
Yang Peng wasn't there, so there was only a waitress in the store.
Li Rui didn't know this waitress, but she understood when he said something. She walked into the inner room and took out a large jar. She placed it on the counter and said, "Look, is this the one?"
Li Rui saw that there was a wooden stopper on the jar. The stopper was wrapped in kraft paper. He sniffed it and smelled it. The first thing he smelled was the strong smell of alcohol. He removed the stopper and looked into the jar under the light. He saw that there were countless scorpions soaking at the bottom of the jar. He felt his scalp go numb. He quickly put the stopper back and looked up with a smile, "It should be this. That's right, thank you." The waitress smiled shyly and said, "You're welcome."
Li Rui turned around and looked around the store. He secretly nodded his head. He thought that Yang Peng really knew how to do business. The store's interior was really tasteful. It gave people a sense of superiority when they walked into the store. No wonder the products were selling so well. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He saw two fake mountain bonsai in the corner. He knew that it was Zhang Liwen's handiwork. He turned around and asked the waitress, "These bonsai were sent by Zhang Liwen, right?" The waitress nodded and said, "Yes." Li Rui asked, "How are they selling?" The waitress said, "Last time he brought ten bonsai over. Look, now there are only two left."
Li Rui felt very comfortable when he heard that. Zhang Liwen's bonsai were selling well, which proved that he had good taste. It also proved that he had helped his family escape poverty and make a fortune. In a person's life, to be able to help a few people become rich was also a very good thing.
When they got back to the car, Lin Yali teased Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, if you really want to give a BMW to Fei Fei, I'll give you something in return. It's the end of the year, and all the government agencies will be giving out festive gifts. They will all be making a lot of purchases. When I get back, I'll encourage our district's family planning committee to buy gifts from you. I'll talk to your brother again and ask him to encourage the Southern District government and subordinate units to buy from you. Then you can just wait to make a fortune. The money you'll earn will definitely be much more than a BMW. "Li Rui laughed and said," That's what you said. "Lin Yali said," That's what I said. We'll do what we say. "Li Rui said," Alright, then it's settled. "
Lin Yafei said unhappily, "Can't the two of you think about other people's feelings? I already said that I don't want a BMW, why do you insist on giving it to me? "
Li Rui and Lin Yali didn't dare to say anything and kept silent at the same time.
When the car arrived at the entrance of Zuixian Restaurant, Li Rui asked the two women to go to the private room to order. He held the jar of Scorpion Wine that Zhang Liwen gave him and went to find Old Cripple Zheng.
Old Cripple Zheng was dozing off in his office. When he saw that it was Li Rui who pushed open the door and came in, he was slightly startled. When he saw the big jar in Li Rui's arms, he frowned and got up to greet him, "Brother, what are you doing?" Li Rui put the wine jar firmly on the tea table in the room and laughed, "Brother, aren't your rheumatism very serious? I heard that Scorpion Wine can cure rheumatism. It just so happens that a friend from the mountains came to the city, so I asked him to bring a jar over. Try it and see if it works. If it works, I'll ask him to bring more. "
In fact, in the early days, Li Rui and Old Cripple Zheng didn't have a very deep friendship. However, Old Cripple Zheng was very good at dealing with people. As long as Li Rui came to his Zuixian Restaurant to eat, he would send him food and drink as a token of appreciation. Over time, Li Rui owed him a favor. It didn't matter if he didn't return this favor. After all, he was an official and Old Cripple Zheng was a businessman. As long as his identity didn't change, Old Cripple Zheng would have to continue worshipping him. However, Li Rui was a very meticulous person. His character was full of righteousness. When he made friends with others, he didn't want to take advantage of others. Therefore, after receiving benefits from Old Cripple Zheng many times, he thought about how to return the favor.
It just so happened that he had rheumatism. Li Rui also happened to know that Scorpion Wine could cure rheumatism, so he asked Zhang Liwen to bring a jar from Hanshui County's Xiaolongwang Village. He had previously left it in the dried fruits and grains specialty store. It wasn't until today that he came to the Zuixian Restaurant to eat that he remembered to bring it over to Old Cripple Zheng. In fact, whether or not the Scorpion Wine could cure his rheumatism wasn't a big deal. The main thing was to show his friendship.
Old Cripple Zheng could be considered as someone who had seen big scenes and big figures. It was reasonable to say that he wouldn't be moved so easily. But now, he was suddenly moved by Li Rui. He sighed with emotion, walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder. He sighed and said, "Brother …" Then he raised his voice and said, "… Brother, you're really my good brother. I won't say anything else. From tomorrow onwards, you're my, Zheng Yecheng's, brother … Damn, I'm so old that my teeth are about to fall out. I'm so happy to have another brother. Haha, brother, let's drink to our hearts' content tonight. We won't go home until we're drunk. " Li Rui hurriedly said, "No, I still have sisters waiting to eat with me. Let's drink another day, okay?"
Old Cripple Zheng didn't force him. He said, "Okay, whatever you say. We'll drink another day. But later, let me come over to propose a toast, okay? "Li Rui said," It's not convenient for you to walk, so you shouldn't go. There are no outsiders tonight, just the three of us. We're all your juniors, so you don't have to be so polite. " Old Cripple Zheng looked up at the lights, blinked his eyes, and said, "You see, when you're free, let me know in advance. I'll call your sister-in-law, your nephew, and niece over. We'll sit together as a family and have dinner together. I'll show them my new brother."
Li Rui just realized that he wanted to be sworn brothers with him. He was also excited. He said, "No problem, as long as you don't mind." Old Cripple Zheng patted him on the back and said, "You have to remember this. Call me when you're free. I'll arrange it in advance." Li Rui said, "Okay, I'll keep it in mind." Old Cripple Zheng sighed. "Good brother, good, very good … Why didn't I get to know you earlier? Haha. "
After leaving Old Cripple Zheng's office, Li Rui called Zhang Hui and told her that they couldn't have dinner together, but he could find a place to stay with her later. Zhang Hui asked him to go to the KTV where they sang together last time. Li Rui agreed without hesitation.
After returning to the private room, Li Rui ordered food, drank tea, and chatted with the sisters. After the food and drinks were served, they began to eat and drink. During the meal, Old Cripple Zheng came over to propose a toast to the three of them and gave them a big dish. During the meal, Lin Yafei didn't seem to be in a good mood. She just ate and drank in silence. Li Rui didn't dare to provoke her, so he only chatted and laughed with Lin Yali.
After dinner, the Lin sisters and Li Rui fought to pay the bill. In an instant, "wallets were waving and banknotes were flying all over the table" in the private room.
The waitress who was called in to pay the bill saw this scene and pursed her lips into a smile. "Don't fight. No one has to pay the bill. Our boss has already waived the bill."
The three of them were a little surprised when they heard this.
Li Rui quickly came back to his senses. He guessed that Old Cripple Zheng had waived the bill for his sake. Although this meal didn't cost much, it felt pretty good to be waived. A sense of pride arose in his heart. From this small matter, he could see Old Cripple Zheng's enthusiasm and righteousness. But if he didn't know how to be a good person, how could he be so intimate with him? In other words, he could see that he had reached a pretty good level in dealing with people. However, if Old Cripple Zheng was always so polite in the future, he wouldn't be able to eat at his place anymore. He couldn't always let his friends suffer losses, right?
A man and two women arrived at the parking lot in front of the hotel. Lin Yali said, "Get in the car. I'll send Fei Fei back first, then I'll send you back." After she finished speaking, she gave Li Rui a meaningful look. Li Rui could see the meaning in her eyes. She wanted to wait until after she sent Lin Yafei back so that they could have some fun time together. Unfortunately, he had already made an appointment with Zhang Hui. He had already stood her up by not eating with her. No matter what, he couldn't refuse to go to the next appointment. He said, "I still have something to do. Let's meet another day. You guys drive away. I'll take a taxi. "Lin Yali said bitterly," Are you that busy? "Li Rui smiled bitterly and nodded." Next time. "
Lin Yali had no choice. She couldn't force him into the car. She could only bitterly get into the car with Lin Yafei. The two sisters drove away.
Li Rui came to the side of the road and waved for a taxi to stop. He went to the KTV that he had made an appointment with Zhang Hui.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the KTV, it wasn't even eight o 'clock yet. The night outside was pitch-black, but inside the KTV, the lights were as bright as day. Anyone who came to this kind of entertainment place filled with a cheerful and youthful atmosphere would feel an unnatural change in their state of mind. Their body and nerves would also feel relaxed.
Li Rui had already asked Zhang Hui for the room number. After he entered the door, he immediately rushed over. However, before he could find the room, he bumped into his eldest disciple, Jiang Wei, at the corner of the corridor. The two of them didn't expect to meet each other here. When they saw each other, they were both surprised and happy.
Jiang Wei had probably just come back from washing her hands. Her two white jade-like hands were still rubbing against each other. The strong smell of hand cream emanated from her hands. Her hairstyle was exactly the same as before. It was still a side ponytail that was slanted over her right shoulder. Perhaps it was because of the high temperature in the KTV, she did not wear a jacket. Her wine-red sweater was directly exposed, revealing the white and dazzling skin of her chest. She wore a pair of black straight cut jeans and a pair of gray slow running shoes on her feet. She stood charmingly in the corridor, smiling before saying anything. She was so charming and moving, needless to say, so beautiful.
