Chapter 421: Are we friends?
The Royal Palace Building.
The most famous restaurant in Yanjing is naturally self-evident in its luxury.
At this time, there were two men in black suits standing in front of the gate, one middle school and one young master. Both of them looked up into the distance, with solemn expressions, as if waiting for some distinguished guests to come.
The young one is Li Yi, and the middle-aged one is the hotel manager - Fang Yan.
On both sides of the red carpeted door stood a row of welcome ladies in red cheongsam. Due to the cold winter, everyone wore a thick down jacket, but the lower body still showed white slender legs, which was very eye-catching.
Although the cold wind is bleak and everyone is shivering with cold, everyone is still very dedicated to stand unmoved in the cold wind. Such a unique scenery attracts the attention of many passers-by.
Before long, a black Alto Bridge car slowly drove this way from a distance.
Seeing this, the two long-awaited men couldn't help but be shocked. They quickly tidied up their appearance and straightened up and stared at the coming vehicle.
"Please pay attention to your manners. The guests are coming." The middle-aged man shouted at the welcome lady on both sides.
Hearing this, the young ladies quickly cleaned up their emotions, tightened their stomachs and chests, and was ready.
Before the guests arrived, they had begun to show a professional reserved smile on their faces and paid attention to the incoming vehicles.
For a moment, the vehicle came to the door and stopped slowly. Fang Yan immediately smiled and quickly walked up to open the door for the guests.
Then, a young, beautiful and elegant man slowly came out of the back carriage.
This person is Huang Fei.
As soon as Huang Fei got out of the car, Fang Yan immediately said with a very attentive smile, "Welcome Mr. Huang to visit again. We have been waiting for a long time."
"Thank you for your hard work." Huang Fei nodded with a smile. Last time he and Hu Tiannan came to solve the problem of Lan Tianyu, he still remembered that it was the manager who received them in person, so he did not feel strange.
"It should be." Fang Yan shrank his chest slightly, with a humble low posture, nodded with a smile and said, "It's our honor for us to be able to visit our hotel, Mr. Huang. How can you work hard?"
It was not until then that Li Yi slowly stepped in front of Huang Fei, looked at him and smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the time to come here. I was really afraid that you wouldn't agree before."
Although the two are currently standing on the united front, he still has to listen to Huang Fei's opinion after all. If he doesn't agree, Li Yi really has nothing to do. He is completely in a passive situation.
"How can I not come for such a big thing?" Huang Fei said with a smile.
Li Yi nodded gratefully, and then said apologetically, "I'm here to apologize for my grandfather. He is old, not in good health, and can't be frozen, so he can't come out to greet him. Please forgive me."
"What are you talking about?" Huang Fei looked at Li Yi seriously and said, "The old man is an elder. Please come to greet him. If this spreads, won't I be scolded for not respecting the elderly?
Li Zhong is a figure of the older generation of Yanjing. He asked him to lose face to welcome a little child. If it is rumored, will he still have the face to stand in Yanjing?
When you are old, your proud nature is still not allowed to be trampled on by others.
Huang Fei also thought of this for a long time. He knew that this old guy would not be easy to compromise, but he didn't care. He didn't care about this kind of etiquette.
Although it would be more sincere to greet him in person, Li Zhong will lose a lot of opportunities to fight for benefits. From this point of view, Li Zhong is definitely a cunning figure.
And Li Yi's idea is different. Now he has to ask for help, and he is afraid that one will not make Huang Fei unhappy and bad. However, he also knew that it would be unrealistic to ask Li Zhong to come to meet this kind of thing. Maybe he would provoke a lot of scolding when he told Li Zhong.
He had no choice but to apologize to Huang Fei in order not to offend Huang Fei and not to make it difficult for Li Zhong to do it. He had to apologize to Huang Fei instead of Li Zhong to avoid the bad development of the situation.
Fang Yan is a well-informed person. He can't see today's situation. He quickly circled in the middle and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang. Mr. Li. I think everyone should go inside and talk about it. The banquet is ready and can be served at any time. Although it's sunny today, it's still very cold outside. Why don't we talk inside?
Huang Fei nodded and said, "It's okay."
"Inside, please." Fang Yan quickly waved his hand to invite.
Then, the three of them walked slowly to the restaurant with a "welcome" sound from Miss Yingbin.
Under the leadership of Manager Fang Yan, the three of them passed through the hall, went up to the third floor, passed through a corridor, and finally came to the door of a VIP box and stopped.
"Mr. Huang, this is it." Fang Yan said respectfully, "There are tea cakes in the room. If you need to eat, just tell us to deliver the meal immediately, and I won't disturb your elegance."
He knew that Huang Fei and others must have something important to talk about, and naturally he would not come to disturb him rashly.
"Exit's a good job."
Fang Yan bowed with a polite smile, and then turned away.
"Huang Shao, please inside." Li Yi opened the door and said to Huang Fei.
Huang Fei glanced at him faintly and nodded in silence. Then Li Yi led the way in front of him, and the two walked to the room.
The private room is spacious and luxurious, but there is only a round dining table in the large room, so it feels more empty.
At this time, an old man was sitting at the table drinking tea alone.
This man's temples are white but his face is ruddy. He is not as old as the old man in the twilight of the old man. He is dressed in a gray Tang suit, and his body is straight, like a straight pine, but the vicissitudes of life is full of spirit.
After finding that someone was coming, he immediately put down the teacup and looked up in front of him. His eyes were like a torch.
When he found that Huang Fei was younger than he thought, he couldn't help squinting slightly and looking at Huang Fei.
He frowned slightly and locked himself secretly, as if he was thinking about something.
Huang Fei and the two walked to the table and stopped. Li Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Grandpa, this is the Huang Fei I mentioned to you."
"Hello, old man!" Huang Fei said hello with a smile.
Although they have something to ask for, he still has to take care of the basic manners. This is the most basic principle of etiquette and life.
And he is an elder. As a junior, he should naturally be modest.
"Please sit down." Li Zhong waved his hand and said.
"Thank you."
Then, Huang Fei and Li Yi each opened a chair and sat down.
Seeing the enemy who murdered his grandson in front of him, Li Zhong could still maintain such a calm look, and his determination was obvious.
Seeing this scene, Huang Fei naturally admired it. Suddenly, he had to face an old fox, and he was really a little unconfident. But the fact gives him more advantages. No matter how cunning the old man is, he has to avoid his edge.
"I don't know why the old man came to me today?" Huang Fei asked with a smile knowingly.
Hearing the words, Li Zhong's eyes were slightly smiley and said, "I heard that you have done several sensational events in the capital recently, and you happen to be familiar with Li Yi. If he can make such an excellent friend of you, I naturally want to meet you. You are the rising star of Yanjing. Many people want to see the true face, and I am no exception.
He didn't know that Huang Fei wanted him to ask for help, but how could he easily compromise with a yellow-haired boy?
"The old man praised it." Huang Fei waved his hand gently and said modestly, "I'm just a little fight, but others always like misinformation, and I can't put those things on the stage at all. I've always heard about your deeds. Compared with those things you did in those years, it's completely a little witch, and it's not enough to see.
He was smiling on the surface, but he couldn't help scolding in his heart.
It's really tiring to chat with these old men every time. They seem to turn around and chat with you. In fact, every sentence has a deep meaning. If you don't answer well, you may immediately suffer losses and have to deal with it carefully.
But I don't know when he will get to the point. He can't be taken away by this old guy's words. He must find a way to take the lead.
"It's a good thing for young people to have the ability, but don't overdo it." Li Zhong said. If all these things you do are small fights, won't Li Jianghe lose too unjustly? He was raised by me, and I know how many catties he has. Originally, he was expected to take the Li family on a glorious road, but when he met you, he was defeated and died so miserable that I didn't even see him for the last time.
Speaking of this, his expression was a little gloomy.
"..." Huang Fei was speechless.
If the old man wants to complain to him, he really doesn't know how to refute it. Do you want to say that your grandson is self-made and deserves to die? Don't blame others?
It's definitely not good to say this. Even if you are not afraid of offending people, it's not a good thing to spread it.
Seeing that Huang Fei refused, Li Zhong continued to say, "I know that Li Jianghe is self-inflicted and can't blame others. Originally, I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of your young people, but today is related to the future of the Li family. I, an old man, have to stand up against the banner of the Li family.
"Old man, I don't understand what you mean." Huang Fei pretended to be puzzled and said. He has guessed some of the old man's thoughts, but it is absolutely impossible for him to get what he wants.
"I think you will understand." Li Zhong looked at Huang Fei with burning eyes and said, "You and Li Yi are friends, right?"
Huang Fei hesitated for a moment, glanced back at Li Yi, and then replied, "Yes, we are friends now."
"That's right." Li Zhong nodded and said, "The Li family is in decline because of you, and you are also a friend of Li Yi. As a friend, can you bear to watch the Li family decline? At that time, your grandfather and I were quite close, and we also had a lot of experience of cooperation. Your father Hu Tiannan also knew a little about these things in those years. It's reasonable. Our two families should support each other.
