Chapter 44 What a coincidence!
Chapter 44 What a coincidence!
Su Ming, Liu Wei, and Lao Zhao, the owner of Cloud Park.
The three sat at a large table in the first row, which was covered with a dark red velvet tablecloth.
The chair is made of solid wood with intricate carvings and a soft cushion, making it comfortable to sit on and allowing you to feel the texture of the solid wood.
Because the first row is more expensive, it's usually less popular, and right now it's basically just Su Ming and his group at their table.
This spot faces the center of the stage, and you can see the eyelashes of the dancers on stage very clearly.
Old Zhao, beaming with joy, was pouring tea for Su Ming.
"President Su, Manager Liu, please try this tea. It's top-quality Phoenix Dancong from the high mountains, costing over ten thousand yuan per kilogram. I specially asked a friend to reserve it for me."
"The owner here is an old friend of mine, and the food here is really good." He poured tea while giving a thumbs up.
As soon as the tea was poured, a fragrance wafted out, and you could clearly feel the rich aroma of the tea; it truly deserves to be called the perfume of tea.
Su Ming picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then gave Old Zhao a thumbs up. "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zhao!"
"Of course, of course." General Manager Zhao smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Mr. Su, you're young and promising! It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll have them bring out some of our specialties for you to try later, and also open two bottles of my favorite Moutai. We need to have a drink tonight."
"No need for the wine, Mr. Zhao," Su Ming said casually, putting down his teacup.
"I have things to do tonight, so tea will do. Or shall we get down to business first?"
"Yes, yes, business is more important." Old Zhao quickly agreed, which would save him the cost of two bottles of wine.
He then realized that this Mr. Su was not the type to take advantage of others.
"Brother Liu explained the general situation to me: 200 units, rent-free for six months. After six months, the monthly rent is 1,000 yuan, with a minimum lease term of one year, right?"
"That's right, that's right, we'll do it the way Mr. Liu says." Old Zhao nodded repeatedly.
"I can provide the contract immediately, and you can move in right away. Plus, I'll charge you the normal rate for utilities."
"Mr. Zhao is so straightforward!" Su Ming smiled. "Brother Liu will handle the details for you. Get the contract ready as soon as possible so our employees can move in."
"No problem, we'll get this sorted out tomorrow."
They finished discussing business in a few words, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.
Then they started chatting about trivial things, like asking Su Ming if he had a girlfriend.
Just then, Su Ming's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Chen Hao, along with a blurry photo that was clearly taken at an enlarged size.
You can vaguely see his figure, Liu Wei's figure, and Lao Zhao's figure in the photo.
Chen Hao: Ming-ge! Holy crap, it really is you! We're in the fifth row behind you.
Su Ming paused for a moment, then turned around to look behind him.
The lights in the lobby were a bit dim, but you could still see faintly.
As his physical condition improved, his eyesight also became better than that of ordinary people. Looking in that direction, he saw a table of people at the back who seemed to be looking in his direction as well.
"It really is Chen Hao and his group. What a coincidence."
Su Ming: What a coincidence! Isn't this it?
Chen Hao: Wow, Ming-ge, I heard the minimum charge for the first row is eight thousand! What big deal are you talking about?
Su Ming didn't reply. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lao Zhao, who was chatting enthusiastically with Liu Wei.
"Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence! A few of my old classmates are also in the back. Why don't we invite them over to sit down and order a few more dishes? It's on me. The more people, the more lively it will be."
Old Zhao was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.
The fact that President Su was willing to invite his classmate over shows that he doesn't consider himself an outsider; it's a way of giving him face.
Moreover, Mr. Su's classmates might also be potential connections.
"Absolutely! I said it's on me, so it's all on me." Old Zhao immediately waved to the waiter, "Make arrangements! Get us a shared table, and someone else is coming over."
Then Su Ming replied to Chen Hao's WeChat message.
Su Ming: Since we've run into each other, let's eat together. It's on me.
Chen Hao became excited as soon as he saw the WeChat message from Su Ming.
"Holy crap, that really is Su Ming."
Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise, then showed everyone the WeChat chat history.
"Look, he's going to treat us to dinner."
As everyone watched Chen Hao and Su Ming's conversation, a brief silence fell over them.
"Holy crap, Su Ming is treating? Is he that rich now? How much will it cost for all of us?" The man with the receding hairline next to him was full of shock.
In his memory, Su Ming was not a rich person's child; he even received a poverty subsidy when he was in school.
The students looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
Wasn't Su Ming supposed to be lazing around at home doing nothing? How come he's suddenly so extravagant?
However, since there's a chance to get something for free, only a fool wouldn't take it.
They glanced at Su Ming's side again; the waiter was already helping to put tables together, so it seemed that it was indeed true.
So everyone packed up and prepared to go, but class monitor Jiang Jie looked very uncomfortable.
He originally felt that he should be the main character today, but Su Ming just casually showed off, which annoyed him a lot.
As classmates for several years in high school, we knew each other's family background very well.
He knew very well that Su Ming couldn't possibly be from a wealthy family, and that he hadn't gone to a good university. In fact, after working for two years without success, he went home and gave up.
Under such circumstances, how could one possibly do very well?
Therefore, he felt that Su Ming was using this opportunity to show off and talk to clients.
Using money meant for a client's treat to treat classmates to a meal makes everyone think it was him who paid.
That's it, that must be it.
Thinking about this, Jiang Jie felt he had a reasonable explanation, and his heart calmed down considerably.
He decided that he would slowly expose his true colors during their conversation.
Thinking of this, he stood up and straightened his collar.
The group stood up and walked towards Su Ming with varying expressions.
Walking to the first row, Su Ming's table had been widened, with another table added and new tableware and chairs set out.
"Hello, please have a seat."
When Su Ming saw everyone coming over, he greeted them with a smile.
After all, they were classmates I knew well from high school, so it felt very warm to see them.
"Ming-ge is awesome!" Chen Hao was the first to rush over and plopped down in the chair next to Su Ming.
The others also sat down in turn, their eyes unconsciously drifting to the blue and white porcelain tableware on the table.
"Come on, let me introduce you." Su Ming suddenly pointed to Lao Zhao and Liu Wei.
"This is General Manager Zhao, and this is General Manager Liu."
Then Su Ming pointed to his classmates and introduced them to Liu Wei and Lao Zhao one by one.
"This is Chen Hao, this is Lin Yiyi, and this is Jiang Jie..."
"Hello everyone, you can just call me Lao Zhao. I run a small business."
Old Zhao was very good at handling people, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Su's friends are my friends. Please enjoy your meal and drinks today. Don't be shy, and just let me know if you need anything."
Liu Wei smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
The students, however, were taken aback for a moment. "President Su?"
Are all of Su Ming's clients this polite?
