Chapter 114 Entertainment
It was already evening when I came out of the "Game Time and Space" magazine.
Lu Menglin liked the feeling of starting a business together as a team so much that he even had lunch in the office.
In addition to proposing the direction for improving the magazine's content, Lu Menglin also boldly proposed an employee stock ownership distribution plan, with several shareholders allocating a small amount of shares as performance rewards to employees.
If everyone works together, those who share the same desires will win! The appearance of Lu Menglin has made this team more cohesive. Everyone has no doubt that when this magazine comes out, it will definitely make everyone's eyes shine. It must be popular.
Uncle Ji Hu and Ah V sent Lu Menglin back to where he came from. They were very excited along the way because no one expected that this kid Lu Menglin would bring everyone such a big surprise.
"Let's play again when we have time!" Uncle Ji Hu waved to Lu Menglin reluctantly.
Ah V looked at Lu Menglin affectionately. Although he didn't say anything, the look in his eyes made people feel scared, which was more cruel than any harsh words he could say.
Lu Menglin nodded, waved goodbye to the two of them, and walked towards the community where his parents were.
When I walked to the gate of the community, I saw my mother standing on the steps and looking around.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Lu Menglin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.
When Mother Lu saw her son, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"Who else can I look for? Of course I'm looking for you! You haven't been seen all day, can I not be worried? If you go out to play again tomorrow, I will go with you."
"No, just stay with dad. I'll just walk around nearby, no need to accompany me." Lu Menglin smiled.
"You're still talking about it! Your dad ran away at noon, saying that there was something going on at the company and a client wanted to see him. It would be very boring to leave me alone here, otherwise I wouldn't wait for you!" Mother Lu shook her head and smiled bitterly.
.
It turns out that dad ran away! No wonder mom is so idle! Lu Menglin thought to himself.
"Let's go, I bought some food and made some delicious food for you and my son tonight." Mother Lu stepped forward and took her son's arm.
Lu Menglin nodded and walked into the community with his mother.
Several people walked towards them, including Lu Youshan, Lao Zhang, Xiao Li and the others. Among them was a middle-aged man whom he had not seen yesterday, with a smile on his face.
"What are you two doing here? Come inside quickly, change your clothes, and go have dinner together." Lu Youshan said with a big wave of his hand.
"What to eat? What to eat? I've already bought the food!" Mother Lu said in shock.
"Our Liufang partner is the Hong Kong company. When they knew you two were coming, they insisted on treating us to dinner. Stop trembling and just go along." Lu Youshan laughed.
"Yes, yes! It's rare that my sister-in-law is here, they must be treating me to dinner." The person who spoke was the guy I hadn't seen yesterday.
Lu Menglin looked at this man's cheerful face, and suddenly felt that his smile was a bit fake.
"Who is this?" Mother Lu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"I'm Huang Yuanshun. Sister-in-law, just call me Xiao Huang. I'm sorry yesterday. I went out to do some errands with a client. I'll treat my sister-in-law and the young master to dinner alone another day."
This Huang Yuanshun is very smooth-talking and talks in one way. He really doesn't look like a financial person, but more like an old salesman.
Lu Menglin knew that this person named Huang was from Zhao Yuanchao's group, so he knew it well. On the surface, he still smiled and nodded.
After Lu's mother changed into more formal clothes, Lu Youshan took his son and his men to the Guangdong Restaurant across the street.
In the Spring Box on the second floor, Lu Youshan and his group pushed the door open and found two people already sitting in the box.
The two men were wearing suits, shiny leather shoes, and bright red ties.
One had a side-parted oily hair, and the hair wax was so smeared that even a fly couldn't stand. The other had a standard Mediterranean hairstyle, a big belly, and looked like a mountain of meat sitting there.
Seeing Lu Youshan and his entourage come in, the two people in the box stood up at the same time.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Both of them spoke poor Cantonese Mandarin, which made people want to laugh.
Lu Youshan pointed at the pile of meat mountains and said, "This is Mr. Cai, the boss of Zhaohui Company in Hong Kong, and his nephew Xiao Cai Menglin. Let's call him Uncle Cai."
Lu Menglin never minded being taken advantage of verbally, so he laughed casually and said, "Hello, Uncle Cai! Hello, Brother Cai!"
"This is the dog Lu Menglin." Lu Youshan pointed at Lu Menglin again and said with a smile.
The pile of meat mountains nodded quickly, raised a thumbs up at Lu Menglin, and praised: "Master Lu is a talented man with a dignified appearance. He will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
"There, there! Children from the mountains have never seen much of the world. Boss Cai was so complimentary." Lu Youshan said with a smile.
Xiao Cai, who was next to him, also chimed in: "Sister-in-law looks virtuous at first glance. She is Manager Lu's virtuous wife!"
My mother rarely comes into contact with this kind of situation, and she doesn’t know what to say for a moment, so she can only smile along with her.
"Come, come, come, everyone, take a seat! Order, order!" Boss Cai narrowed his eyes and invited cheerfully.
Lu Youshan and his family were seated. The waiter first poured tea in front of everyone, then held up the menu and said with a smile: "Who is ordering?"
Boss Cai waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm treating my sister-in-law to dinner today. She can order whatever she wants to eat. You're welcome."
"Whatever you want, we come to this store often. You can't usually eat such authentic Cantonese food and seafood in the mainland." Xiao Cai introduced with pride.
The waiter brought the menu to Mother Lu with a smile on her face.
Mother Lu glanced at the menu and suddenly became nervous.
"Good boy! Each of these dishes costs fifty or sixty yuan, and a cup of soup costs two hundred yuan." Mother Lu hesitated, she didn't know how to order.
Mother Lu's embarrassment was noticed by Lao Cai and Xiao Cai. They both narrowed their eyes and smiled in unison, unable to tell what they meant.
Lu Menglin took the menu from his mother's hand naturally and glanced at it lightly.
"How about Mr. Lu order a few first?" Xiao Cai also interjected, as if he didn't look down on Lu Menglin's ability to order.
"Okay! Let's start with a nest of blood clams and stewed snow swallows. My mother has been a little tired recently and needs to replenish her food." Lu Menglin said with a casual smile.
The waiter quickly wrote down the dishes, and Lao Cai's eyes twitched when he heard the name of this soup.
This guy doesn't play by common sense!
Under normal circumstances, guests like them from the mainland who don't understand anything should be modest, then hand the menu back to the host, and then order a table of home-cooked dishes to fool around.
alright.
"What other signature dishes do you have in your store?" Lu Menglin asked casually.
The waiter answered honestly: "Our Drunken Goose here is very famous and has won gourmet awards. The seafood is also very fresh, but you have to go to the seafood area to order seafood."
"Oh! Do you have any dietary restrictions? When you come to Guangzhou, why don't you do as the locals do and order a few plates of seafood to try?" Lu Menglin asked politely.
"What's the price of this seafood?" My mother couldn't help but ask. She was afraid that her son would order too much and the boss who was treating him would be unhappy.
The waiter smiled and said: "Our seafood is not expensive, it's all at the current price. For example, the shrimp only costs thirty-eight pounds per pound."
"What? Thirty-eight pounds a pound is not expensive?" my mother said.
Lu Menglin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "What about lobsters? Are there any groupers?"
Before they finished speaking, Boss Cai and Xiao Cai jumped up at the same time as if their butts were on fire.
"Processing lobster is very troublesome. This kind of restaurant is not professional enough. Next time we will go to a French restaurant, where the lobster is authentic." Sweat broke out on Boss Cai's forehead.
"Yes, yes! It's too wasteful to eat grouper in a restaurant like this. We'd better go to the fishing raft to eat it another day. The food there is fresher and you can also fish in the sea." Xiao Cai also said quickly.
"Oh! You'd better order it then! Don't forget to write down the signature drunken goose I just mentioned, and the blood clam soup." Lu Menglin ordered the waiter and handed the menu card to Xiao Cai.
Xiao Cai took the menu and immediately looked relieved.
Just kidding, if you let this kid order it again, you won’t be able to get 3,000 yuan from this table!
Even though Boss Cai has the money, it still hurts to eat like this!
The other three people on Liu Fang's side looked at Lu Menglin with curiosity. They could never imagine how Lu Youshan could raise such a son. He was so good at everything. This aura was so stable!
After such a small step of ordering food, Da Cai and Xiao Cai no longer dared to underestimate Lu Menglin and her son, and put away their little coastal people's vanity.
The meal was quite enjoyable. Lu Menglin and his mother had already eaten and drank so much that they hardly moved their chopsticks. The men on the table were still mingling with each other, drinking one glass at a time while I drank the other.
Under the influence of alcohol, their conversation gradually turned to Liu Fang and Zhao Yuanchao, who had been double-checked.
This progress is actually easy to understand, because the Hong Kong Zhaohui company is also a customer introduced by Zhao Yuanchao. Of course, they want to know the changes in Liufang's senior management so that they can make timely business judgments and adjustments.
Lu Youshan was poured several drinks into his mouth by everyone, like a star holding the moon. While drinking, they tried their best to get words out of him.
It's a pity that all Lu Youshan knew was hearsay information. He didn't go back, and he didn't have any close friends among Liu Fang's leaders, so of course he didn't know more specific details.
Therefore, all the speculations, judgments, and conclusions made by these grown men during the banquet sounded ridiculous to Lu Menglin's ears.
