Father Xia naturally saw the resistance of that pretty face from the position of the rearview mirror, but he also laughed, not bothering to take care of his daughter.

"Virtue, see what you said." Mom was also a little shy, spat and ignored Lao Xia.

In the end, after spitting, I didn't know what to think of, and touched my face thoughtfully: "However, the banquet makeup on my face this time is really imitating her teaching."

"Is that so? Let me just say, you two look alike!" Coincidentally, as the car passed by a red light, the old man slapped his thigh enthusiastically, but continued flatteringly: "But in my opinion, that Zhou Qiluo is really not as beautiful as you." , if I really want to say it, our wife is the most gentle and pleasant.Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a celebrity! '

"Nonsense! How old am I, and how old are others? Aren't you just playing the piano?"

My mother giggled when she was teased, but she didn't look really angry.

Li Xia sat silently in the back of the car, watching her parents flirting with each other, she, who was always casual, suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, and also a little... um, nameless sadness.

Well, isn’t there a famous saying well said?The excitement belongs to others, but she herself is nothing...

So just like this, Comrade Miss, who was waiting for the banquet with great interest, was inexplicably shown in the carriage.

This feeling of being treated as an outsider is really hard to bear.

Life feels like years!

Simply, this period of time was not long, the car was running on the street, and arrived at the destination within a short while.

It was a restaurant not far from the city center. Although West Street bought nearly [-]% of the restaurants and shops at the intersection, the entire Yecheng was not the boss of West Street. Naturally, it was impossible to own everything She is in charge of Boss Li.

For example, the hotel on this floor is a certain restaurant invested by foreign businessmen. It is luxurious, expensive, and the venue is quite large. It is actually not a good choice to treat guests to dinner.

There is no other reason, the things inside are too expensive.The so-called food is actually not much different from ordinary medium-sized restaurants, so under normal circumstances, the restaurants here are used for offices.Leaders who talk about business and sign contracts come here to spend more, but such big-spread private dinners are rare.

Chapter 169 Chapter 166

The father's family came late, and learned that it was delayed by the mother's makeup time, and it was almost seven or eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the place.

A huge signboard hung on the restaurant not far from the city center, shining brightly in the dim night light.

There are many pedestrians coming and going nearby. The opening time of West Street is relatively late, and it will not be officially opened until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Although this is not the case in previous years, it will not open this year because the boss and a series of backbones are out to discuss business. The time was delayed by several days.

From time to time, there are some outside tourists and passers-by, pointing and talking about the big battle in the hotel.

"Let's treat guests to dinner today."

"The queue is huge."

There is emotion in the words.

Although it was still some time before the banquet started at this time, the number of guests coming here was just right at the right time.

When he arrived at the destination, the old man poked his head out to look around, and saw that the nearby road was full of cars, and it was already bustling with people.

He suddenly felt troubled: "This car is not easy to park, why don't you go in and eat first? I'll come over when I get to the seat."

The eldest lady nodded, and stroked her belly, which was starving and starving for a long time, almost dripping all over the floor.But my mother shook her head, "We all belong to the same family, so if we want to leave, we must go together."

Since everyone in charge of the family said so, Father Xia didn't insist, he looked around and continued to search for a parking space.

Fortunately, as one wishes, although the parking space on the roadside is still tight, a black car just happened to slowly drive out of the gate of the parking lot.

"Come to the seat." The old man slapped his thigh, smiled, activated the accelerator, and quickly drove his car to the checkpoint.

After waiting for the staff inside to collect the parking fee of the last car, Dad Xia planned to drive the car in.

It's just that the following scene is a bit unexpected.

The staff member returned to his post, and after taking a look at the dilapidated car, his original casual expression changed.

Frowning, he didn't raise the railing, instead, he walked out of the toll booth, looked back and forth in front of Father Xia's car, and then tapped lightly on his glass window.

"What's wrong?" The family of three looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what trick this man was playing.

But he also shook down the glass of the car very cooperatively.

And the staff member standing outside was dressed in sloppy clothes, with a lot of dust on his collar, unshaven beard, narrow and narrow eyes, and a face that seemed difficult to match.

But he was standing outside, yelling impatiently with a foreigner's accent: 'Here, don't stop! '

"Why?" Dad Xia was suddenly surprised.

He looked around, and the English letters on the road sign not far away were particularly conspicuous. Obviously, this is just an ordinary parking lot, right?

Moreover, there were no emergencies nearby. What does this so-called parking ban mean?

"This is a special parking place for restaurants, and foreign vehicles are generally not accepted!" Seeing that the owner of the car didn't understand what he meant, the staff became impatient.

He didn't say anything, just pointed to the big restaurant not far away to treat guests, and at the same time gestured half a circle on the nearby vehicles.

Only now did Father Xia see that the cars parked near the parking lot were particularly eye-catching just by their models, such as Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, BMW... and so on, there are too many to count.

All kinds of well-known brands in previous lives and high-end equipment in this life are all on display. Even the cheapest equipment among them will cost nearly 50 yuan to win.

It is luxurious.

Well, it has been 10 years now. With the reform and development, the lives of residents have improved a lot.But even if a car at this price is not as luxurious as it was in the past two years, at least it is not something that ordinary families can set foot in. That is to say, tourists who can eat here are either rich or expensive.

And Dad's classic car, not to mention it looks dilapidated in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention that compared with these mid-to-high-end cars, it looks even weirder and out of place.

So, in the eyes of the staff, Dad's shabby little car was regarded as a "beggar" who came to rub the parking space.

No wonder he was so suspicious.

Today's dinner party was a big boss from another county. He spent a lot of money, and he directly booked the restaurant from the first floor to the second floor. The cost of this was almost seven figures.

Hundreds of thousands of charter fees!

What kind of cards, what kind of courage?

In the context of such a huge investment, apart from showing off his face, the big boss must also have a small calculation of making good friends. That is to say, most of the people who can come here to eat are dignitaries in nearby counties.

So here comes the question, since all of them are big bosses who are on the rise, how can they drive such dilapidated cars?The car in front of me is probably not even worth [-] yuan, right?

So it’s not an exaggeration to say that the family sitting inside is an uninvited guest who rubbed the parking space?

"I can't help it today. Many big bosses come here to eat, and the seats are limited. I must be tight to the insiders first." The topic is to persuade Father Xia.

"Discuss it with yourselves and park elsewhere. In fact, this area is relatively congested, but the parking lot next door is quite spacious."

Lao Xia asked subconsciously: "Where is there still room?" '

The staff pointed to the distance: "The parking lot in the western suburbs is very empty there, why don't you go and have a look?"

"The parking lot in the western suburbs? Isn't that the suburbs? It's at least 30 kilometers away from the city center. You told us to park there?"

In the end, before the father had time to say anything, the eldest lady frowned and spoke out.

The staff snorted and ignored the eldest lady, but the impatient expression already revealed his impatience.

"Why can't you even understand human speech?" Although the other party didn't say anything, the mouth shape and the movement have completely expressed his state of mind.

Li Xia, who was still sitting in the back row watching the excitement, suddenly realized what happened.

Feelings are treated differently here.

Immediately raised her eyebrows, the eldest lady who has always refused to admit defeat naturally wanted to make a good argument.

But at this time, in the parking lot, a middle-aged man who had just parked his car walked out by coincidence.

At first, when he saw the farce at the door, he didn't care, but just cast a casual glance.But when he saw the familiar face in the driver's seat, the man was startled, and hurried over to compliment him, "Mr. Xia? You're here too?"

"Little Hu?" The voice of the man in suit and leather shoes was familiar, and the old man was also surprised: "Are you coming to eat too?"

"Yes, Mr. Xia! Someone treats you today."

The man called Xiaohu grinned, but he looked dignified.

It's just strange that when the upper-class man faced the poor man in the carriage who was in dilapidation and even slightly wrinkled in his suit, there was a flattering smile on the face of the upper-class middle-aged man.

This fawning attitude made the staff stunned.

what happened?

This man surnamed Hu is the second-in-command of the restaurant next door. The Taixing Restaurant is also stationed in Yecheng and even nearby provinces and regions. It is a well-known catering company.Boss Hu has a good relationship with the leader of this restaurant. They often communicate with each other, and even like to give each other gifts. They often get together for dinner during festivals. In terms of status, they are indeed quite famous in the local area. One of the big bosses.

But why, this investor with such a distinguished status, when facing this poor guy who drives a broken car, he behaves so frivolously and flatters?

Could it be that the identity of this poor and down-and-out guy is not what he slandered?

The staff are not fools. They have been up and down for so many years, and at least they have experience even if they don't have IQ.After a little thought, I understood the joints.

It's just that when he looked at the dilapidated car, he still felt a little incomprehensible and unacceptable in his heart.

Why, such a person with status and status would drive this kind of broken car to have a banquet...... Is this the so-called bad taste of the rich?

But although those big bosses like to be mediocre, few of them would lower their status like this, right?

His brain is still in a trance.

But Boss Hu had already turned his head, asked with a questioning smile, "Master, what happened, why did you stop Mr. Xia?"

The expression seemed to match that of Ai, but the faint sullenness could no longer be suppressed.

Such high-level people have been struggling in the sea of ​​people for many years, and they have already cultivated to become human beings. If you take a look at the scene, you can understand what happened.

Thinking about it, the corner of Boss Hu's mouth has already hung a hint of joking.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing..." The staff member finally came to his senses, shook his head in embarrassment, hurriedly returned to the workbench, raised the fence, and hurriedly invited Father Xia to stop inside.

The energy of a person who even Boss Hu wants to support is huge, and he can't be offended by himself as a young wage earner.

When passing by, Li Xia smiled meaningfully, with an unforgiving look: "I said, isn't this place full? How can it stop in the blink of an eye?"

Although the space in the parking lot is indeed tight, it doesn't mean that there is no place to stay. It is no problem to find two or three vacancies at random.

Having said that, the staff member's expression became even more embarrassed.

"You can just sit down and wait for the food." Dad Xia couldn't help but laugh, and didn't bother to talk to his daughter, and took the steering wheel by himself.

Chapter 170 167, big brother and second brother

The family hurriedly got out of the car.

Boss Hu and the hotel owner are family friends, busy helping the hotel, he said hello temporarily, and without waiting for the Xia family, he hurriedly took the lead to enter the venue.

Looking at the busy figure, Li Xia stuck out his tongue: "This guy is quite busy."

The old man didn't say anything, but nodded empathetically, "You're a big shot."

"You can be considered a big shot, why are you pushed out every day?" Thinking of the unhappiness that happened just now, Li Xia sighed.

Father Xia laughed straight away, and didn't take the trouble.

When we came to the gate, there were two waiters wearing cheongsams and short skirts standing at the gate, shivering in the cold winter.But there is also a welcoming smile on his face.

Handing over the invitation card in his arms, the two waiters shouted softly, "Hello, boss, please come inside."

It's like visiting a kiln.

It made Dad Xia dumbfounded.

Speaking of it, the owner of this merchant is an investor from another county, and the restaurant has just been built, and its behavior and various aspects are different from those of the common people in Yecheng, even the style is not as spacious and bold as that of West Street.Full of a strong atmosphere of capitalism.

It can be seen from the scantily clad waiters in the room alone.

Passing through the long corridor, the decoration inside suddenly opened up. Li Xia stretched his waist, feeling the faint heating temperature above his head, and felt that his whole body was no longer cold, and even felt comfortable for a while.

And the old man's eyes were also shocked by the big white legs in all kinds of revealing clothes coming and going, staring wide open, like a pig brother.

"What catches your eyes?"

My mother felt a little bit hungry, and her eyes were bulging, blocking my wife's sight.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm also a restaurant owner, so occasionally I have to learn some other cultural knowledge for the boss, don't I?" The old man coughed in embarrassment, but his words were magnificent.

Although Dad's job is the one who makes decisions in Blue Sky Media, but because of his far-reaching vision, he will occasionally be learned by Boss Li.Even his right to speak is not lower than Xu Lian.

My mother rolled her eyes, she was naturally too lazy to waste her time talking about this unfounded reason.

This small restaurant is divided into four floors, and today the first floor and the second floor are the two floors that are used to treat guests.Passing through that long corridor, the wide area of ​​the restaurant looks unique.

There are more than 20 tables in the entire venue. The guests are almost here now, and many seats are full of people early. There are some cold dishes for appetizers on the tables. Generous, even the appetizers are so rich.

But even so, not many guests moved their chopsticks.After all, most of the people who come here to eat are big bosses who are somewhat famous. They are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, so they are naturally accustomed to these small meals.

On the contrary, there are more big bosses who put down their chopsticks, sip famous wines, and strike up a conversation with each other.

The more people you know, the more ways you will find your way out.
