Although her voice wasn't loud, it was enough for the service desk, which wasn't far away. Meng Xin noticed the strangeness of the place and walked over with a professional smile on her face. She gently said to Xiang Wentian, who had his back to her,"Sir, may I know what service you need?”
This wasn't the kind of situation where enemies would meet on a narrow road, but it was really embarrassing. At this moment, Xiang Wentian was already regretting his actions. Even if he could use his supreme Qinggong to perform the Subtle Steps, he would not do such a shameful thing to his subordinates at this time. He had to face what was coming. His body slowly turned.
The two of them looked at each other. Meng Xin was surprised and exclaimed,"It's you?" As if he immediately realized that he had lost his composure as the lobby manager, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and said in a low voice,"What are you doing here?”Perhaps he was too anxious to realize that he had said something stupid. What else could he do in the hotel at this time?
It had been a few months since the incident. Xiang Wentian's memories of that night would not disappear. Meng Xin's memories probably did not disappear either. Otherwise, she would not have had such an impression of him and recognized him immediately. However, he had slightly adjusted his attitude, so Xiang Wentian was not so afraid. Even if he was afraid, he could not hide in front of his underlings. He might as well take the initiative and say with a smile,"Why can't we eat here? Manager Meng."
The words " Manager Meng " pulled Meng Xin back to reality. Although the person standing in front of her was an old acquaintance, she was here as a customer today. She was the lobby manager here, so she couldn't make such a low-level mistake. She had to smile like a flower to welcome the customer. She immediately returned to normal and said with a smile,"Mr. Xiang, the three of you are invited. I wonder if you have reserved seats or not?”
From the looks of it, the boss probably knew the woman in front of him, but it didn't seem to be a pleasant acquaintance. He answered, saying that the three of them had thought of coming here to eat at the last minute and asked Manager Meng to introduce a table.
Meng Xin agreed with a smile and said,"Please follow me." She immediately led the way. Walking in front, she couldn't help but look back at Xiang Wentian. She really couldn't tell. Didn't this person say that he had just arrived in Shenzhou? How did he get to this point? Those who could spend money here were not ordinary people. They had to at least have a certain financial strength. As a person who had just come to Shenzhou to work, it was reasonable for him to not think about it without three or two years of hard work.
This was not something that Meng Xin, who was a regular worker, could think of. Ignoring the doubts in Meng Xin's heart, the three of them followed Meng Xin to an empty table by the window facing the street. Judging from the dining scene, the business here was not bad. There were not many empty tables in the hall, and nearly 90% of them were eating quietly.
Meng Xin had just arranged for the three of them to sit at the dining table when a young waiter came over and asked what kind of dishes they would like to serve. Meng Xin smiled and invited them to eat before leaving. Xiang Wentian calmly took the menu from the waiter and looked at it. He casually handed it to the cover beside him and said,"You can order it, as long as it's something you like.”
The blonde was happy and went over to discuss what to order with the condoms. However, many of the dishes on the menu were obviously not something that the two of them had heard of before, let alone seen with their own eyes. They really couldn't figure out if each dish was delicious or not, so they could only order a few dishes that sounded like they were the same. In order not to show their fear, the prices of the dishes were not very expensive or very low.
The drinks were better. The two of them casually asked for three bottles of Xiangjiang Octave, which was a famous beer in Shenzhou. While they were discussing their orders, the waiter brought them a cup of tea each. The waiter took the menu and left. Xiang Wentian leisurely picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea while looking around.
To be honest, if it was in the past, he would not even dare to think about coming here. However, today, he should not have made a mistake in coming here. Since he was the leader, he still had the right to do such a small thing, and it was for the sake of his future plans.
The hall was very big, probably dozens of seats, and it did not include the other private rooms. There was a turn, and the end could not be seen. The tables by the window were separated by antique screens, and the tables in the middle were next to each other, leaving a space in the middle. Melodious ancient music slowly played in the empty restaurant. The pipa seemed to be playing the famous "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night".
Tao Zi told him softly that there were accommodations and entertainment. These were all very formal. If it was anything else, it wouldn't be here. Ever since Brother Hong from Honghe District was caught by the police, Boss Qian had listened to Third Madam's suggestion. He didn't do those kinds of illegal businesses in his own hotel. He said that he had to walk the right path. However, those who earned money did not seem to be thrown away. They were just moved to another more hidden place.
The three of them couldn't say anything good about the food here. After all, it was their first time eating it. It was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. They couldn't taste it. When it was time to pay the bill, Meng Xin came over. While they were eating, Meng Xin, who was standing at the service desk, kept looking at them. She wanted to understand, but she couldn't go forward. When she handed him the bill, she attached a note with a string of phone numbers and an address. "This is my phone number and address," Meng Xin said to him gently.”
Xiang Wentian couldn't help but look at her in surprise. His actions on the train were enough to make him feel ashamed to see her again, but he didn't expect Meng Xin's attitude to be like this. His heart was a little moved. It seemed that he was too embarrassed to worry about it. Perhaps she had already forgotten about it. He nodded and clenched the note in his hand. His expression told Meng Xin that even if he forgot something else, he would not forget about it.
The meal consumed half of the activity funds left by Old Xin. After they came out, Tao Zi asked worriedly if the master would scold them if they did this. The yellow-haired guy enjoyed the meal the most. When he heard what the cover said, he pursed his lips and said,"Tao Zi, you're too careful. You only have eyes for your master. Don't you know that Boss is the gang leader now? Your master still has to listen to Gang Leader.”
Xiang Wentian did not expect that he would eat so much for a meal. If he had known earlier, he probably would not have been able to bear it. How many days of hard work would he have to work to earn this? However, since he had already eaten, he did not have to worry so much. He had the right to allocate the funds for these activities. Who would waste their breath? He smiled magnanimously and said," It's okay, condoms. These are all the expenses we need to spend when we do things. As long as we do these things well, there won't be such a big expense in the future.”
After returning from the Golden Tripod Hotel, Xiang Wentian could feel that the man he was about to deal with was not an ordinary person. He was a successful man with a big family business, wealth, and power. After all these years in the underworld, there was no need to mention his connections. Fortunately, people who came out of the dark had a fatal weakness. After making a lot of money, they no longer wanted to do that kind of blatant black money. They wanted to wash away the black spots of the past. This could be seen from the change in the way the Golden Tripod Hotel operated. This kind of person had power and would cherish what he had more. He would never risk his life like beggars like them. That would be too unworthy.
At night, Old Xin and the others came back and told him about their relationship with the other films. Big Luo was the one who went to Old Jia in Hong An District, and Big Zhu was the one who went to Jin He District. They both agreed to their suggestion. They thought that it would be beneficial for them if all the Beggar's Sect in the city were unified. Old Xin did not meet with Scar Head, but secretly contacted Ming Zi.
Old Xin didn't directly tell Mingzi that they wanted to establish Beggar's Sect in the city; instead, he asked about the situation of those people in Red River District. From Mingzi's tone, he could feel that this person was not convinced by Scar Head. Scar Head didn't beg for food at the beginning; he was originally a gangster. Now he had to beg for food. Therefore, those people in Red River District were not convinced by Scar Head.
This scar-headed man was a leader, but he never participated in begging. He only arranged for people to go out and stay in his old house all day long. The rent alone was several hundred yuan a month. Although Ming Zi and the others didn't dare to speak, they were still unhappy. Wasn't he just a beggar? What was there to be particular about? It was already good enough that there was a place to lie down. Not to mention, he had to show filial piety to this person every day. The people in Red River District didn't get a leader to help them, but they raised a boss. If it wasn't for the rich man above, this leader position would have been kicked out long ago.
They thought that this situation would be extremely beneficial for them to unify the Beggar's Sect in the entire city. However, the two leaders of Hong An District and Jin He District had the same idea. They wanted Xiang Wentian to meet them personally. After all, they had only heard about it from them and had never seen it before. They could not believe it like they did.
That was the original words, and also another reason why Da Luo and the other two didn't say it out loud. They all knew that if they wanted to unify the entire city's Beggar's Sect, they would first have to fall out with this rich and powerful Master Qian. The most direct consequence of falling out with such a person was that if they did it well, they would have a foothold in Shenzhou City. If they did not do it well, they would probably not even know where their bodies were buried. Due to such a consequence, some people had to make plans. It was okay for them to have such an idea, but they had to find a suitable person to show their faces.
The right person had been found, and it was precisely Xiang Wentian, who had never received the favor of the heavens. He was cultured and had martial arts, but he had no power or influence. He was just a bachelor, and he might not even be as good as them. What was worse was that he was a young man, and the ambition and desire of young people were even stronger. He could definitely be used for once.
