Chapter 914: Baoshun Hot Pot
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
At this time, Liu Baoqiang also came out of the car. Yang Ming’s shock to him was still quite big. He was still worried that he would be looked down upon as he interacted with a rich man. However, when he heard Yang Ming’s easy-going words and Yang Ming being lectured by Chen Mengyan, Liu Baoqiang found it amusing. It seemed that Yang Ming was a henpecked male!
How could he know that Yang Ming was soothing toward Chen Mengyan, but he wasn’t a henpecked male? Treating a girlfriend well and being a henpecked male were two completely different concepts.
“This is Liu Baoqiang, my boyfriend.” Liu Ting saw that Liu Baoqiang got out of the car, so she introduced Liu Baoqiang as she pointed at him.
“Liu Baoqiang, call me Little Qiang [1].” Liu Baoqiang was still used to his self-introduction method.
“Little Qiang…” Yang Ming was shocked after hearing this formidable name, “My name is Yang Ming… However, don’t call me Little Ming. You can call me Little Yang…”
” Ha … It’s nothing. If you want to laugh, then laugh. My name is indeed the same as the legendary Little Qiang…” Liu Baoqiang said it very indifferently, “I’m very glad to meet you.”
“Are we going to the cla.s.s reunion now?” Yang Ming didn’t know the schedule, so he asked.
“It is still early. It is only nine o’clock. The party will start in the afternoon.” Chen Mengyan looked at the time on the phone and said, “How about we go to my house and sit for a while?”
It was natural for Yang Ming to visit Chen Mengyan’s home, but Liu Baoqiang was a bit shy. He and Chen Mengyan had just met. They were not very familiar with each other, so it was naturally inappropriate to visit her home, not to mention Chen Mengyan was a girl. He couldn’t be thick-skinned and go in.
Liu Ting naturally knew Liu Baoqiang’s mind, so she said, “Mengyan, you didn’t eat in the morning, right? It just so happened that we didn’t eat as well. For our gathering, we will only eat at about two o’clock. How about we find a place to eat first?”
“Exactly, let us go to my family’s hot pot restaurant. My treat!” Liu Baoqiang just went along with Liu Ting’s intention.
“If we eat at your family’s restaurant, if it isn’t your treat, would it be mine?” Liu Ting rolled her eyes at Liu Baoqiang.
“When I treat, isn’t it the same as your treat? Haha .” Liu Baoqiang grinned forthrightly.
“That is also fine. Then, we will need to trouble your family.” Chen Mengyan nodded to Liu Baoqiang.
“What trouble? When I, the young master, comes, which waiter won’t be obedient?” Liu Baoqiang said half-jokingly.
“Come on. Are you not embarra.s.sed to say you are a young master? Yang Ming is much more powerful, and yet he is more low key.” Liu Ting pushed Liu Baoqiang a little.
Chen Mengyan thought to herself. Is Yang Ming low-key? It depends on what the matter is. When this guy meets the person he hates, he will beat up the person first if there is an argument…
After returning to each car, Yang Ming followed Liu Baoqiang’s Volkswagon Santana. The two cars went out together from the Chen Mengyan’s house district and drove to Liu Baoqiang’s hot pot restaurant.
“Yang Ming, I don’t like your car license plate. If you buy a car for me, don’t make such a license. It is a bit too eye-catching.” Knowing that this license plate wasn’t made by Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan also didn’t vent out her anger on Yang Ming anymore, but Chen Mengyan really didn’t like this kind of life too much.
“If you don’t like it, then I will replace this car in a few days.” Yang Ming cared about Chen Mengyan’s opinion. After all, she was his first true girlfriend.
“Forget it. Then what about this car?” When Chen Mengyan heard Yang Ming say that he had to change his car, she was pleased that Yang Ming valued her opinion, but he didn’t have to change the car because she didn’t like it, right? That way, she seemed to be simply too overbearing.
“It doesn’t matter. I will just give this car to my dad and his company. The company can use this car license plate when they discuss business. It is more reputable. I will buy one more, or simply not buy it. It will be fine if you drive me in the future.” Yang Ming said.
“That is alright.” When Chen Mengyan heard that this car could be used by Yang Ming’s father’s company, she felt at ease. “Right, I checked the online car sales. The Audi A5 you mentioned is quite pretty, but isn’t it a little too expensive…”
“Expensive?” Yang Ming sighed. He thought to himself, I don’t want you to drive something too expensive, so I chose the Audi A5. If I want you to drive something expensive, then I will just buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini for you. “This car is already not really expensive. It is cheap among sports cars.”
“Well then… you can make the decision.” How could Chen Mengyan not see Yang Ming’s expression? When Yang Ming heard that she said that the car was expensive, his surprised expression must mean that the car was cheap enough… Chen Mengyan just didn’t want to be so extravagant.
” En . Then I will ask my friend to book a car. We will deal with the problem of the license plate and other cars later. If you like the number, you can choose it online.” Since Chen Mengyan didn’t want a good license number, then she could just pick a set of numbers that she liked on the Internet.
This was what Chen Mengyan wanted. Now the news media was very well-informed. Although her car was bought by Yang Ming, it was inevitable that some people with bad intention would drag this matter to her father.
In between their chatter, Liu Baoqiang led Yang Ming, and they came to the Baoshun Spicy Hot Pot located on Xinhe Road in the Chengnan District.
It could be said that the size of Liu Baoqiang’s hot pot restaurant wasn’t too small. It had two floors. The business here was indeed hot, which could be seen from the number of cars parked outside. It was a booming business.
However, a bad*ss car like Yang Ming’s was still not very common here. Of course, the significance of the bad*ss car was not only the model but also the license plate on the car.
Liu Baoqiang’s security guards here knew that the Volkswagon Santana was the young master’s car. Naturally, when it went into the parking lot, there were security guards to help with the parking. For Yang Ming’s car, the security guard was more enthusiastic.
However, after Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan got off, the security guards were surprised with Liu Baoqiang having a chat with both Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan while they walked into the hot pot restaurant. What kind of friends did the young master bring today? Why is it so bad*ss?
The temporary license plate number on the Donghai car was mostly remembered by certain people of Song Jiang. They all knew that it was Bao Sanli’s car license plate. However, not many people knew about the owner of this new bad*ss number plate. As the car license plate was slightly bad*ss, it made people feel that the owner of the car was unordinary.
“Yang Ming, Mengyan, treat this place like your home.” Liu Ting walked halfway and said, “Am I right, Little Qiang?”
“Of course. Of course!” Liu Baoqiang nodded quickly and said, “Come. Let’s go upstairs to the private room.” After that, Liu Baoqiang waved his hand and found the restaurant’s lobby manager.
“Young Master Liu, you are here!” The lobby manager naturally knew Liu Baoqiang, the CEO’s son. She spoke with politeness.
“Sister w.a.n.g, help us find a clean room.” Liu Baoqiang didn’t have much arrogance. The lobby manager was older. Liu Baoqiang called her Sister w.a.n.g in an amicable manner, unlike some trust fund babies who commanded the workers in the family business.
“Young Master Liu, now it is time to eat, and the private rooms are all reserved…” Sister w.a.n.g said with some embarra.s.sment.
” Ah … They are all reserved.” Liu Baoqiang was stunned. He somewhat didn’t know what to do. If he and Liu Ting came on their own, it wouldn’t matter. They would eat in the hall. It was just that they brought new friends today. If they sat in the hall, would it make Liu Ting feel as though she lost face?
Liu Baoqiang couldn’t make up his mind, so he turned his head and looked at Liu Ting. He wanted her to make a decision. Liu Ting wasn’t a person who would be keen with face-saving, but she went to her boyfriend’s restaurant, and there wasn’t even a private room. It was slightly inappropriate, so Liu Ting hesitated and asked, “Is there a room with a guest not coming after booking here?”
“There is none currently…” Sister w.a.n.g shook her head and said all of a sudden, “Right, there is a big private room upstairs. The person who reserved it said that they have only six people, but there is a free table next to it. How about I use a folding screen to separate it and have you all sit on the side?”
When Liu Baoqiang heard it, he thought that this was the most appropriate method at the moment, so he nodded, “Let us do that!”
When Sister w.a.n.g responded, she went upstairs to organize it. Liu Baoqiang was apologetic to Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think there were no private rooms…”
“It is fine. This shows that your family’s hot pot is delicious with a full house of customers!” Yang Ming smiled and said, “If we really can’t, it is the same to dine in the hall.”
When Liu Baoqiang saw that Yang Ming did not have a temper like a wealthy young master, he couldn’t help but have a better impression of Yang Ming. He said gratefully, “Let us do it another day. I will book a private room in advance, and invite you to have a great meal. Today is just an appetizer for your stomach first. Then, let’s go to the cla.s.s reunion.”
Not long after, Sister w.a.n.g took care of everything. She led Liu Baoqiang and Yang Ming together to the upstairs private room. This was a double-table big private room. At this moment, the folding screen was used to separate the two tables in the middle. Yang Ming sat at the table on the inside.
Since he came to Liu Baoqiang’s territory, the right to order food was handed to Liu Baoqiang. Since he was the young master here, he definitely knew what was delicious here.
Liu Baoqiang didn’t know the appet.i.te of each person. He tried to select and order food that was more suitable for everyone and more delicious.
Zhou Xiaoming had just been put on the throne as the demolition company manager. He felt refreshed in his heart. It was a great place to get more money! It was really something to celebrate.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoming took a few of his own confidants today and came to Baoshun Spicy Hot Pot on Xinhe Road in the Chengnan District. The spicy hot pot here was extraordinary. Zhou Xiaoming used to come once every week with Wei Dekang. He felt this place was not bad, so he invited a few confidants here today.
He made a phone call and booked a private room. There were no small private rooms there; there was only a big private room. However, the minimum spending was five hundred yuan. However, Zhou Xiaoming did not care and booked it directly.
