The thin man's talk was so exaggerated that it attracted a round of applause from the innkeepers.

So someone asked: "According to what you said, this Tang Jian is really capable."

"No wonder many great scholars can't invite him."

The people around him nodded in agreement.

The thin man said: "You don't know this, right?"

"I heard that it was General Zhou Yu who tried his best to win him over."

"And compared with Zhou Yu, who is more powerful among these Jiangdong families?"

The crowd of spectators answered: "Zhou Yu was originally a famous family in Lujiang, and now he has been appointed as the Grand Commander, so of course Zhou Yu is more powerful."

The thin man was satisfied and said: "That's right!"

"So with General Zhou Yu here, how could Tang Jian choose these families?"

At this time, Zhang Laomi rarely interrupted:

"Then, according to what you said, these Jiangdong families are more powerful. The family has no hope of recruiting Tang Jian?"

After hearing this, the thin man immediately replied: "That's not entirely true."

"Isn't General Zhou Yu gone now?"

"I heard that Tang Jian is going to invite Jiangdong celebrities to the largest Xu's restaurant in East City."

"I think this is to give these big families in Jiangdong a chance!"

"If any family can bid more than General Zhou Yu, they will have the opportunity to have a student like Tang Jian."

"Oh... so that's it..."

Within a day, such conversations were staged everywhere in the city.

The news spread like wildfire.

The name Tang Jian instantly became the number one topic on the Jianye City list!

But Tang Jian himself seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and he could not be found anywhere.

So, everyone could only pin their hopes on the day he held a banquet.

The weather was getting colder.

After only three days, people put on clothes.

And Xu Lingji had made all preparations.

Under the Xu Family Restaurant, although it was a night banquet, many people came in the afternoon.

Because there was enough time to prepare, the news spread widely enough.

So there were a lot of people coming.

All kinds of luxury carriages had already blocked the streets.

Even Zhang Zhao had to choose to park his carriage two streets away and then choose to walk over.

"Ouch! Lord Zhang!"

Bu Zhi just turned from another street and bumped into Zhang Zhao head-on.

Zhang Zhao was polite and returned the greeting by bowing: "Oh? Why did you come so late today, brother Zishan?"

Bu Zhi smiled and said: "The war is imminent, and the Marquis of Wu summoned me to handle some trivial matters?"

"I guess Lord Zhang is the same as me?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "Same here."

Bu Zhi nodded and said: "Since we have met, let's go together, Lord Zhang, please."

Zhang Zhao nodded: "Please."

Then they walked towards the brightly lit place together.

As the lights came on, the East City seemed to become extremely lively.

Many shops were filled with carriages.

The shopkeepers were very unhappy and came out to ask the car owners for parking fees.

There were countless quarrels because of this.

But these are just a microcosm of the many good shows tonight.

Gu Yong came to the bottom of the restaurant and saw two rows of maids standing at the door, saying to the endless stream of guests:

"Welcome."

Gu Yong was a little confused, not knowing whether to answer, and then he was swept into the crowd.

"What?"

"Are you guys teasing me?"

As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, he saw an old man in gorgeous brocade robes, pointing at the price list angrily, and yelling at the little maid next to him:

"I took a day to get to Jianye by car."

"You told me that this lobby only provides food and wine, and you can't see Tang Jian? What kind of VIP is required to go to the second floor?"

The maid was obviously trained and was not panicked.

Instead, she smiled and said, "Old man, how many days you ride in the car has nothing to do with me."

"If you don't have VIP privileges, you can't go upstairs, because there is only one General Tang, and you can't see everyone, what do you think?"

The old man in brocade robe had no choice but to ask, "How much does this VIP privilege cost?"

The maid smiled and replied, "My old man, it only costs 300,000 yuan to open the VIP privilege."

"After opening the privilege, there will be free tea, fruits, and some cakes..."

Before the maid finished speaking, the old man in brocade robe almost fainted!

"I just want to go upstairs, and I have to become a VIP and spend 300,000 yuan?"

The old man pointed at the maid, his fingers trembling: "Black shop! Black shop!"

"I'm going to find Marquis Wu to file a complaint against you!"

The maid smiled and replied, "Old man, if you don't know, then I'll explain it to you., the shopkeeper of this restaurant is the sister-in-law of Marquis Wu. If you want to make trouble, I'm afraid Marquis Wu will deal with you first. "

The old man was so frustrated, but he didn't want to leave.

At this time, two young men in luxurious clothes came from behind and said:

"Sir, if you don't want to be a VIP, please move away. We are in a hurry to be a VIP and go upstairs to see General Jianming."

After hearing this, the old man said with his neck stiff: "Who said I won't do it?"

"Isn't it just 300,000 yuan? I didn't bring so much cash, but I brought gold. Do you want to accept it?"

The maid said: "Yes, please go to the counter to weigh the gold."

The old man took out a Shu brocade bag from his arms, shook it in front of the maid, and said:

"See? I have plenty of gold! "

Then he walked to the counter, weighed the gold, exchanged it for a VIP jade card, and then went to the second floor with a servant.

The two young men in fancy clothes shook their heads, each paid 300,000 coins, and got a jade card, and then went upstairs.

Seeing this, Gu Yong also hurriedly asked the servant to get 300,000 coins, applied for a VIP jade card, and then went upstairs with the card.

Although the first floor was crowded, they were all here to eat.

To talk about business, we have to go to the second floor.

"What!!!"

As soon as Gu Yong went upstairs, he saw the old man in brocade robe pointing at a price list again.

This time, he seemed to be really angry!

"You still say this is not a black shop?"

"I spent thirty taels of gold to get a VIP upstairs."

"You said that Tang Jian is not here? ”

Upstairs was another smiling maid.

After hearing this, the maid replied, "Yes, old man, General Tang is now negotiating with an important person."

"If you want to see General Tang, I'm afraid you have to pay at least more than the last master."

The old man made up his mind and shouted, "Then tell me, how much money did the last master pay?"

The maid replied with a smile:

"This old man, the last master used one hundred taels of gold to book a private room, and then invited General Tang."

"One hundred taels..."

After hearing this, the old man in brocade robe had his eyes black and almost fainted!
