131: Broken name
“Waiter, serve the dishes!” Zong Jiashi waved his hand and said to the waiter outside.
Qian Ziyong looked around and whispered, “It seems some classmates haven’t arrived yet?”
Zong Jiashi smiled and said, “Ziyong, they might not be coming. It’s already time to eat.”
“We’ll eat first. If anyone else comes, we’ll just add a pair of chopsticks for them.”
The surrounding classmates were very enthusiastic and strongly agreed with this point of view.
“Ziyong, we’re all hungry. If we don’t eat soon, we’ll starve to death!”
“Ziyong, if they arrive late, that’s their loss. We can’t keep starving just to wait for them, can we?”
“Exactly, that’s what I think too!”
“Zong Jiashi is very considerate!”
“…”
Amidst everyone’s unanimous approval, the dishes were served.
Qian Ziyong noticed that all the good dishes were in front of him.
All the fish, meat, and crabs were piled up on his side.
Vegetables, radishes, and potatoes were all on the other side of the table.
“Waiter, bring your best wine!” Zong Jiashi said to the waiter.
The waiter quickly scurried over with the wine.
Zong Jiashi directly opened the wine and was about to fill Qian Ziyong’s glass.
Qian Ziyong quickly refused, “I drove here, and I have to drive back later. How about we don’t drink alcohol?”
Zong Jiashi slapped his head, “Look at me, I forgot you drove here. My apologies.”
“Waiter, bring drinks. Bring a bottle of the best drink.”
Qian Ziyong saw that there were already drinks on the table and quickly said, “There are drinks here, no need to bring more.”
“You’re right.” Zong Jiashi nodded.
Chen Ziqi had already filled Qian Ziyong’s glass with a drink.
After thinking for a moment, Zong Jiashi, with a shy smile, said, “Ziyong, I have a few good brothers who have always admired you.”
“They happen to be nearby. How about I make a call and invite them to come and sit with us?”
Seeing Zong Jiashi’s sincere gaze, Qian Ziyong found it hard to refuse, “Alright then!”
Zong Jiashi nodded happily, stood up, took out his phone, and walked towards the door.
He dialed while walking to a secluded spot.
“Hello.” A heavy voice came from the phone.
“Brother Zhang, it’s me, Jiashi.” Zong Jiashi said, bowing and scraping.
“Zong Jiashi.” The other party hummed and asked, “What do you need me for?”
“Brother Zhang, Qian Ziyong is my classmate, and he’s here right now. The real Qian Ziyong?” Zong Jiashi emphasized repeatedly.
The “Zhang Wentuo” on the other end was stunned for a moment, “Qian Ziyong?”
“Qian Ziyong of Feihuang Supermarket?”
Zong Jiashi nodded, “It’s him, he’s here right now!”
“He’s currently attending our class reunion. If it’s convenient for you, you can come over and have a meal with us.”
Zhang Wentuo asked curiously, “Qian Ziyong is your classmate?”
“He’s your classmate?”
“Why haven’t I heard you mention it?”
Zong Jiashi smiled bitterly, “How was I supposed to know that this Qian Ziyong, my classmate, was that Qian Ziyong from Feihuang Supermarket?”
“If I had known earlier, I would have definitely contacted you and introduced him to you, Brother Zhang, long ago.”
A busy sound came from the other end of the phone, “I’m leaving now, I’ll be there in about half an hour!”
“Zongzi, you’ve done a great service this time!”
Zong Jiashi was extremely excited, “I’ll send you the location right away, it’s at our county town’s Southeast Northwest Hotel.”
“What a terrible name.” Zhang Wentuo said while hanging up the phone.
…
Twenty-five minutes later.
Qian Ziyong was eating with everyone.
Other tables rotated, but his table never rotated from beginning to end.
He was a bit tired of the meat, so Qian Ziyong rotated the table.
As he was eating, a large group of people led by the hotel manager walked in.
Zong Jiashi quickly stood up, “Brother Zhang, I’m here.”
The few classmates at the same table consciously got up and gave up their seats.
The leader was none other than Zhang Wentuo.
He spotted Qian Ziyong at a glance.
He nodded to Zong Jiashi, stepped forward, extended his hand, and said, “Boss Qian, it’s truly fate to meet you here!”
Qian Ziyong stood up and shook hands with him.
Zhang Wentuo said loudly, “The hotel owner and I are very familiar.”
“Meeting is fate, please give me face, all expenses today will be paid by me.”
Zong Jiashi said loudly from the side, “All expenses for the entire private room today will be paid by Young Master Zhang!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was very happy.
Originally, this meal was supposed to be split among the men, but now someone was paying, saving a large sum.
Naturally, Zhang Wentuo led everyone to sit in the adjacent seats.
Zong Jiashi had people slowly clear the dishes and bring a new batch of fresh ones.
In addition, he opened another new table, allowing the classmates who had just left to eat again.
Zong Jiashi was bustling about, even busier than the hotel’s waiters.
Meanwhile, Qian Ziyong was chatting with Zhang Wentuo.
After five rounds of dishes and eighteen rounds of drinks.
Qian Ziyong and Zhang Wentuo also became familiar with each other through their conversation.
Zhang Wentuo introduced all the young people around to Qian Ziyong.
Hmm… when introducing them, he always included their parents, such as who was the son of the vice mayor, the son of the director…
“Ziyong.” Zhang Wentuo took a sip of wine and said with a smile, “I heard that fellow named Zong Qizhi sealed your store?”
“Actually, you don’t have to pay attention to him. He only dares to issue a document; he wouldn’t actually dare to seal the store!”
“If you find it troublesome, I can have someone inspect the store. As long as the fire safety is indeed fine, it’s easy to get you a fire safety compliance document.”
“No! No!” Qian Ziyong shook his head repeatedly, refusing.
If the fire safety was non-compliant, he could justifiably close the store.
If the compliance document came down, how could he still close the store?
The supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant were very profitable. If the fire safety was compliant and there was no obstruction to him closing the store, but he still kept it closed, it would definitely arouse suspicion from others.
Even the employees of their supermarket would be deeply puzzled.
If the fire safety compliance notice came down, he would have to open the store!
Make me compliant?
Absolutely not!
This Zhang Wentuo wants to stop me from getting rich!
During this cycle, he needs to extract at least one hundred million from the system, and no god can stop his determination!
“I have my own plans, you absolutely must not help me in this regard!” Qian Ziyong warned.
Zhang Wentuo smiled, “Since that’s the case, I won’t interfere.”
“But if you have any trouble, you can call me, or call them.”
Although his father’s position was very high.
But that was his father.
Besides position, money was also very important.
Don’t think they are very generous with money normally.
In reality, they don’t have much money on hand.
Not even ten million!
To ordinary people, seven or eight million is already very wealthy.
But at their level, seven or eight million is just so-so.
Moreover, networking is not just for making money.
The Feihuang Supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant opened by Qian Ziyong are top-notch in Han City. The annual profit is estimated to be at least five hundred million.
What kind of concept is this?
The economic benefits generated could boost Han City’s GDP by two points!
If he could build a good relationship with Qian Ziyong, and the other party occasionally put in a good word for him, it would be of great help to him.
Furthermore, Qian Ziyong runs such a large business; he is a business genius. If he could partner with him, wouldn’t they make a fortune?
