After a while, he slowly spoke.
”Young man, this should be the first time we've met. Why do you have such a huge grudge against me?”
Zhou Hui sneered. He knew that if he wanted to chase him away, that old man wouldn't benefit, so it had nothing to do with him. Most likely, the man next to him wanted to curry favor with that old man, so he wanted to take care of Zhou Hui.
But even if he wasn't related to the old man, so what?
Zhou Hui glanced at the expression of the man beside him.
He was also nervously staring at him, and he must have been scared out of his wits as well.
He had been sending Zhou Hui a gaze and even shook his head, signalling him not to speak carelessly.
Seeing her act this way, Zhou Hui found it even more interesting.
He smiled faintly. It really was a different time.
”Geezer, you're right, we have no grudges! Keke, just because of you, I'm going to be kicked out! What's with this logic? What's more, I arrived here before you. Shouldn't I be coming first?”
After the old man finished listening to Zhou Hui's words, he immediately frowned. He looked around and saw that the people next to him all had their heads down, not daring to speak.
At this moment, his gaze fell onto the man standing next to Zhou Hui.
”Shaochen, what's going on? Didn't I already tell you? We just need to come out for a simple meal. Why do you still want to take over the restaurant? And we have to get this guy out of here. ”
The one called Shaocheng was immediately speechless after hearing this.
”Elder Deng, you … you misunderstood.”
”What's wrong with that? I'm not blind, and I'm not deaf either. Old man, I'm still very clear on what you guys are doing behind the scenes. I haven't reached the age of seventy or eighty yet, and you're trying to fool me!”
Shaocheng was so anxious that he couldn't speak. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Zhou Hui felt that it was very funny.
Why did this man act so domineering in front of him? But now that this old man was here, he actually didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
”Actually, I already reserved this place, so he can't be here.” Shaocheng mumbled in a low voice.
After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his head to look at the old man. Seeing that he wasn't too angry, he felt at ease.
Perhaps the old man was also dissatisfied after hearing this.
A chartered area? Is there even a need for a chartered area when we all eat a meal together?” Besides, there were so many empty spots. Even if it was a chartered area, so what if this little brother came over for a meal? ”You can't overdo things,” the old man said to the waiter without asking for her permission, ”Waiter, go ahead and do what you need to do. Don't worry about it here, I just want you to stay and eat.
The moment Shaochen heard what the old man said, he immediately became anxious, ”Elder Deng, this isn't good, is it?”
Hearing this, Elder Deng, who was originally not angry, immediately frowned.
”What's wrong with that? It's not like I'm going to have my last meal with this old man. What's the point of being so formal? Say no more. Otherwise, I won't be eating today's meal.”
After Elder Deng finished speaking, he turned around and returned back to the seat where they were sitting. It looked like he was fuming.
After hearing Elder Deng's words, the other men beside Elder Deng quickly gave him a look, signaling him to stop.
None of them wanted to anger Elder Deng.
Xiao Cheng didn't say anything else, but after Elder Deng left, he walked back to Zhou Hui's side and whispered a sentence.
”Brat, you can consider yourself lucky today. Let me tell you, this meal is something that I bestowed upon you. Enjoy it well. Maybe you won't have the chance to eat it in the future.”
