Chapter 1254 How Is It You...?
"Uh..."
Old Master Su was speechless.
Following that, Zhao Guozhong said, "Old Master Su, don't rush. Our salt vein development requires a deposit, around five hundred million. I wonder when Old Master Su will give me this money first, so I can process the procedures."
"A deposit of five hundred million?"
Old Master Su frowned, took a breath, and said, "Zhao Guozhong, I think it's best to drop this matter."
"Hmm? Old Master Su, you wouldn't refuse to give me this much face, would you?"
Zhao Guozhong was stunned. This was a great opportunity to make money, and this guy actually refused.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and let out a cold laugh.
"Really, no need," Old Master Su said quickly.
"Old Master Su, if you're out of money, just say so. There's no need to prevaricate. We're old acquaintances. Five hundred million is just a small amount, I can lend it to you."
"But I have one condition: you have to drink this bottle of wine, and then go to the hotel entrance and shout three times that you, Old Master Su, are not as good as me, Zhao Guozhong. How about it?"
"This condition isn't excessive, is it?"
Zhao Guozhong picked up a bottle of high-proof white wine and, with a bang, placed it in front of Old Master Su, his face full of arrogance!
"What do you mean by this?" Old Master Su frowned.
"What do I mean? Hehe, I invited you to participate in the salt mine development because I wanted to thoroughly humiliate you and show you the strength of my Zhao family! Did you think I really wanted to help you?" Zhao Guozhong laughed heartily.
"Hurry up, I'll give you three seconds to consider, otherwise you'll miss this great opportunity to make money!"
Old Master Su's face sank. This guy really had ill intentions.
"Zhao Guozhong, get out of here quickly. I have no intention of developing any salt mine!" Old Master Su said in a deep voice.
"You don't want to? Hehe, what are you pretending for? Not to mention the five hundred million deposit, if your Vermillion Bird lineage had any ambition, could you dine in a regular private room? Don't pretend. Everyone knows that salt mines are no different from picking up money. Would you refuse?"
"Look at your Vermillion Bird lineage. You're dining at the Yellow Crane Grand Hotel, but you're dining in a regular private room! Do you know our Zhao family? The private room our Zhao family is in is a top-tier Emperor's Suite. A consumption of three hundred thousand is nothing, but more importantly, it's about face."
Zhao Guozhong, this old man, stood with his hands on his hips, speaking excitedly.
Old Master Su was also extremely annoyed by Zhao Guozhong.
These words were not particularly damaging, but coming from this old fellow Zhao Guozhong, they were somewhat irritating.
"Old Master, don't be angry."
Chen Xuan quickly got up, calmed Old Master Su, and then looked at Zhao Guozhong and said coldly, "Get out of here immediately!"
"You dare tell me to get out? Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Guozhong flew into a rage, preparing to have someone deal with Chen Xuan, but at that moment, he received a phone call, and his face immediately changed drastically:
"What? Someone wants to kick our Zhao family out? What a joke! You wait for me, I'll be there immediately!"
With that, Zhao Guozhong didn't bother dealing with Chen Xuan and turned to walk outside.
Bang!
The door closed.
Chen Xuan and the others looked at each other and said, "What a buzzkill!"
"This guy is crazy!"
"Forget it, forget it. This old geezer's brain wasn't good before either," Old Master Su also pouted. "Today is a joyous occasion, not worth getting angry over such a small matter."
"Chen Xuan, go and see if the dishes we ordered are ready," Jiang Biyun said to Chen Xuan.
"I'm going now."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan stood up.
But at that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure walked in.
"Huo Du, why are you here?"
Chen Xuan recognized the person at a glance, frowned, and asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Chen, greetings!"
Huo Du greeted them, then swept his gaze over Su Yunxi and the others, introducing himself, "I am Huo Du of the Huo family. The Yellow Crane Grand Hotel is our Huo family's property. Please enjoy your meal!"
"Young Master Huo!"
Su Yunxi and the others also greeted him, their hearts filled with confusion. Why did Huo Du come uninvited, and they didn't seem to have any dealings with the Huo family.
Following that, Huo Du said apologetically, "To be honest, my servants were really ignorant. I didn't expect them to lead you to a regular private room. I apologize here!"
"In addition, I've already asked someone to clear out an Imperial Suite, and I've also ordered dishes. Please, come this way!" wΑp.kanshu伍.net
As soon as he said this, Su Yunxi and the others were stunned.
Why was Huo Du so respectful to them, and why did he book such an expensive private room for them? Didn't they say there were no Imperial Suites?
They didn't know what to say for a moment. Should they go or not?
Of course, Old Master Su wanted to go more. After all, Old Zhao had just stepped on them using the Imperial Suite as a topic, but now if they went, he felt uneasy.
At this moment, Chen Xuan already understood what was going on and said calmly, "Huo Du, lead the way!"
"Please, quickly!"
Huo Du extended his hand, and Su Yunxi and the others also walked out.
Soon, they arrived at a luxuriously decorated private room, with silver tableware and exquisite dishes. From any angle, it was far beyond what a regular private room could compare to!
"Mr. Chen, please enjoy. If you need anything, just call me, and I guarantee it will be arranged properly."
Huo Du placed his business card and then respectfully walked out, closing the door behind him.
"It's more fitting to celebrate in a place like this!"
Sitting in the Imperial Suite, Old Master Su wore a look of joy.
As a member of the Su family in the capital, Old Master Su had seen all sorts of occasions and naturally wouldn't be so delighted just because of the Imperial Suite. The main reason was that he had been humiliated by his old rival regarding the private room earlier, and he was very displeased. Now, sitting in the Imperial Suite, he felt he had regained his dignity.
"Who says not? We, the Su family of the capital, should celebrate in a place like this," Jiang Biyun also said with a smile.
Delicious dishes, high-end red wine, everything was so wonderful.
They poured the wine, and the wine glasses reflected the bright red grape wine. Everyone raised their wine glasses, about to clink them to celebrate Su Yunxi's inclusion in the candidate list for the Kyoto Su family, but at that moment, an unharmonious voice came from outside.
"I'd like to see who it is that your Yellow Crane Grand Restaurant has asked our Zhao family to leave the private room!"
"Old Master Zhao, our guests are dining inside. Please mind your manners."
"Go to hell. Get out of my way quickly, or don't blame me for slapping you!"
A moment later, footsteps gradually approached, and the next moment, with a dull thud, the private room door was kicked open.
"Which bastard dared to snatch our Zhao family's private room? Stand out!"
In the sight of Chen Xuan and the others, an old man with an enraged face walked in aggressively.
Upon seeing this old man, everyone was stunned. This old man was none other than Zhao Guozhong, who had been showing off in their private room just now!
In an instant, everyone understood what was going on and couldn't help but stifle their laughter.
Old Master Su even let out a snort of laughter.
Hearing the laughter, Zhao Guozhong's gaze also shifted. When he saw Old Master Su, his eyes widened instantly, and he stammered, "You... How is it you...?"
