The Pentium Era - South to North

Chapter 2184 Today’s Dinner

Zheng Huihong didn't know how she knew Zhang Xiangbei was back. She called Zhang Xiangbei and said, "Lao Ma wants to invite you to dinner tonight. Beibei, where are you?"

Zhang Xiangbei said: "Xiangnan and I are outside."

"Along with Xiangnan, are you in Yongcheng?" Zheng Huihong asked.

"No, no, Hangcheng, we are here in Yunqi." Zhang Xiangbei said.

"Then come together. I haven't seen Xiang Nan for a long time." Zheng Huihong said.

Zhang Xiangbei covered the phone with his hand and asked Xiangnan: "Aunt Huihong's phone number. Teacher Ma wants to treat us to dinner tonight, will you go?"

Xiang Nan said without hesitation: "Go, I really want to see what the richest man treats you like."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed. He let go of his hand covering the phone and said to Zheng Huihong, "Okay, let's do it together. Thank you Aunt Huihong."

"I'll send you the time and place later." Zheng Huihong said.

Zhang Xiangbei said good bye to Aunt Huihong.

Ten minutes later, the WeChat voice prompt came. Zhang Xiangbei picked up his phone and looked at it. It was from Zheng Huihong, and it read:

"Room 0, Tuxiangyuan Hotel, half past six."

Xiang Nan was discouraged as soon as he saw it: "Tuxiang Garden, I wouldn't have gone if I had known."

"Why, do you look down on Tuxiangyuan so much?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"No, no." Xiang Nan chuckled, "If we go to Tuxiangyuan, I'll just ask you to invite me. You don't need to be invited by the richest man. Your reputation there will be greater than that of the richest man."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed.

What the two of them didn't expect was that Zheng Huihong was not originally arranged to stay at the Tuxiangyuan Hotel in the evening. Now not only the place to eat has changed, but the host has also changed. Tonight, Mr. Ma's treat has changed to Zhang Morning treat.

Just before, Zheng Huihong called Zhang Xiangbei and then called Zhang Chen, telling him that she had just called Zhang Xiangbei and that Lao Ma would like to invite Beibei, you and Xiaofang to dinner tonight, Beibei. It’s already been said there.

Zhang Chen said as soon as he heard this: "I am a hotel owner. I am in Hangzhou, and I want Teacher Ma to treat me to dinner? I'd better treat you to Tuxiangyuan Hotel. I haven't seen Teacher Ma for a long time." , he is very rich now, won’t he refuse to appreciate it?”

"How is that possible? Mr. Zhang, you are old friends, so we have decided to eat your food tonight." Zheng Huihong smiled on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan came back from Yunqi. When they arrived at the "Half Acre Field" building, it was only half past five. It was still early, so the two of them decided to go upstairs to sit first. After entering the elevator, the two of them had There was a disagreement. Zhang Xiangbei said she would go to Liu Ligan's place, but Xiangnan refused to go. She wanted to go to Zhang Chen's place, but Xiangnan said, I don't want to talk to that person.

Zhang Xiangbei scratched his head and said, "But I don't want to talk to that person either."

Xiang Nan giggled and said, okay, let's go separately and meet in the box later. As a result, the two of them went to "that person", the other person's father's office, separately.

Zhang Xiangbei sat in Liu Ligan's office until 6:10. He always thought it was Teacher Ma who was treating him, so he didn't dare to ask Liu Ligan to go with him without permission. Liu Ligan knew that Teacher Ma and Zheng Huihong invited Zhang Xiangbei and the others, so they must be They had their own things to talk about and didn't expect to go.

Zhang Chen also had the same idea as Liu Ligan. He knew that the person Teacher Ma and Zheng Huihong really wanted to invite was actually Zhang Xiangbei. He and Xiaofang were just foils. The purpose of these two people's coming was unknown. It was not convenient for others to be present, so he did not His name is Liu Ligan.

When Zhang Xiangbei arrived, there was no one in the box. He waited for ten minutes. Zhang Chen, Xiaofang and Xiangnan arrived. As soon as Xiangnan came in, he shouted to Zhang Xiangbei:

"I was fooled. It's not the richest man who's treating me, it's my uncle who's treating me."

Zhang Xiangbei said "Ah", Zhang Chen and Xiaofang laughed, Zhang Chen said: "I brought it over myself. It was indeed Teacher Ma's treat, and I accepted it with my heart."

At half past six, Teacher Ma and Zheng Huihong had not arrived yet. It was almost 6:40 when the door of the box was pushed open and Teacher Ma and Zheng Huihong walked in. Behind them was a young man with six bottles in his hand. Maotai came in, put down the drink, and the young man turned around and left.

Teacher Ma put his hands together and apologized to Zhang Chen: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the road is too congested."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Even you can't move even an inch, right?"

Teacher Ma shook his head with a wry smile.

After everyone sat down, the waiter asked: "Mr. Zhang, are all the guests here?"

Zhang Chen nodded, and the waiter withdrew. There was a supervisor waiting at the door. The waiter nodded to her. The supervisor picked up the intercom and called the food delivery station. The food in box 0 was served immediately.

Teacher Ma looked around the box and said to Zhang Chen, "Mr. Zhang, I really envy you. If I had a hotel like this, I wouldn't want to do anything else."

Xiaofang smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to have one."

Teacher Ma smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Chen heard Li Yong say some things about Teacher Ma, and the water was a bit deep. When Li Yong was the mayor of Hangzhou, he kept a distance from Teacher Ma. He rarely dealt with him, and rarely went to Taobao.com. Zhang Chen knew that Teacher Ma had his own difficulties, and his words were not hypocritical, including the famous saying that Teacher Ma doesn't like money that is being circulated everywhere on the Internet.

In fact, this is not wrong. Zhang Chen knows it deeply. When money reaches a certain level, it will only bring you cold numbers. But along with these cold numbers, comes endless troubles. Teacher Ma is opening a translation agency. At that time, if he said that he didn't like money, it would be hypocritical. But now, when he said this, it was more or less out of emotion.

Teacher Ma looked at Zhang Xiangbei and said to Zhang Chen, "Mr. Zhang, what I envy you most is that you have a good son."

"Same." Zhang Chen said, "Sons are other people's good things."

Everyone in the box laughed, and Zhang Chen continued: "They all say that giving birth to a child is like Sun Zhongmou. I think Sun Jian will definitely not think so."

"He still hates whether iron can become steel?" Teacher Ma asked, Zhang Chen nodded, and both of them laughed.

The dishes came out quickly and frequently, and soon the table was full. It was obvious that Huijuan had arranged it in the kitchen herself.

Xiang Nan looked at the dishes on the table, then leaned close to Zhang Xiangbei and said in his ear: "It seems that not only the richest man is treating us, but the dishes he is serving are different."

Zhang Xiangbei couldn't help but burst into laughter. Zheng Huihong asked:

"Beibei, why are you laughing?"

Zhang Xiangbei pointed south: "She said...she said..."

Xiangnan's face turned red slightly, and he hurriedly kicked Zhang Xiangbei under the table. Zhang Xiangbei said:

"She said she had never seen many of the dishes on the table. Indeed, I haven't seen them either."

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "It's all arranged by Huijuan. Not only you, but I have never seen some of them. These dishes are not on the menu at all. Huijuan went to the stove in person today."

Zheng Huihong and Teacher Ma explained: "Huijuan is the general manager here and the inheritor of Fu's cuisine."

When Teacher Ma heard this, he knew that Zhang Chen took it seriously, so he quickly handed over his hand and thanked him.

Xiaofang and Zheng Huihong drank red wine, while Xiangnan drank soft drinks. The three men drank Maotai that Teacher Ma and the others had brought. Two bottles were ready to be finished, and there were four bottles given to Zhang Chen by Teacher Ma.

The six bottles of Maotai brought by Teacher Ma are not ordinary Maotai, but his "Fengtan Liquor". No matter how much money you have, you can't buy it in the market.

These are two large jars of wine that Mr. Ma personally went to the Kweichow Moutai Group last year to sign his name on the jar and seal the jar. They total one thousand kilograms and were carefully blended by Li Wei, a national first-class sommelier and senior blending master of Moutai. It has been stored in the wine warehouse for four years. From the input of materials to the sealing of the altar last year, it spanned five years.

Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiangbei tasted this Moutai and both praised it as really good and better than ordinary Moutai. Teacher Ma was full of praise for Tuxiangyuan's dishes. He asked, are all Fu's dishes on this table?

Zhang Chen said that most of them are, and a few are new dishes. Hotel operators have no choice but to constantly introduce new dishes, as customers' tastes are changing.

At the banquet, Teacher Ma told Zhang Xiangbei and the others that when he first started making web pages, Hangzhou had not yet connected to the Internet. The first business he got was Zhang Chen's "half an acre of land" and he even paid for it. The current layout of the website was also modified with Zhang Chen's help that night. Not only Zhang Xiangbei didn't know about these things, but even Xiaofang didn't know that they had such a connection.

Everyone was drinking and chatting. They drank happily and chatted happily. Just like the last time Mr. Ma met Zhang Xiangbei in Lanzhou, Zhang Xiangbei thought he was going to talk about the acquisition of "Zhai Xianshui". The result was no. Today, Teacher Ma also did not talk about this matter. On the contrary, he was very concerned about Zhang Xiangbei's trip to Gansu and the process of village transformation into a company, and asked very carefully.

Similarly, he is also very interested in Zhang Chen's "Diet Men and Women", saying that he is already a customer of "Diet Men and Women". In fact, he is more than a customer. When "Diet Men and Women" round B, Dabao.com also participated, It's just that the amount involved is not large, and it is not enough to require special attention from him and Zheng Huihong.

There is a rest area in Box 0, and there is a small dance floor next to the rest area, as well as a full set of karaoke equipment. Everyone drank until they were happy, and everyone knew that Xiang Nan was an opera singer. Teacher Ma said that he had heard Yue Opera since he was a child. There are many Wu operas that I have never heard of. Zheng Huihong said from the side, then please invite Nannan to do a part. What a rare opportunity.

Everyone stood up and moved to the rest area, where the waiter immediately brought tea and fruit plates.

Xiang Nan sang a section, and everyone applauded. Zheng Huihong said: "No wonder it's the 'Second Plum Blossom'. There seem to be only two people in Hangzhou who have won the 'Second Plum Blossom'. One is Mao Weitao, and the other is Xiang Nan." "

At Teacher Ma's request, Xiang Nan sang two more verses, and then asked Teacher Ma to also sing a Yue Opera piece. Teacher Ma said:

"I can only sing model operas."

"Then let's do a model show." Zhang Chen said.

Teacher Ma sang Yang Zirong's aria "Fighting Tigers Up the Mountain" from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" with great energy, and everyone applauded.

Then, Zhang Chen held his neck and sang "Young Aspirations Don't Say Sorrows", Xiaofang and Zheng Huihong also sang, and Zhang Xiangbei also sang an English song.

The next day, Xiangnan's vacation was over. Zhang Xiangbei sent her to Yongcheng, stayed there for one night and returned to Hangcheng. Zhang Xiangbei then went to Kunming.
