Chapter Thirty-Five: A Gamble(1/5)
After a few words at the wine table, Yaoyang and Huo Jingliang formed a cooperation. In the short term, it was Huo Jingliang who brought Yaoyang to make money. However, Huo Jingliang was very optimistic about Yaoyang and believed that this investment would definitely get rich returns. Sooner or later, Yaoyang could lead Yaoyang.
Make a lot of money yourself.
Just like this Feng Group incident, Huo Jingliang earned more than a year's income in just a few days.
With this amount alone, Huo Jingliang already felt that letting Yaoyang make some money with him would not be a loss.
With the cooperation, the atmosphere at the wine table became better. Ding Shanben was simply happy for Yaoyang, Zhan Mizi was ecstatic, Yaoyang and Huo Jingliang each gained something and were in a good mood, and Feng Qianshan was deeply grateful.
In less than half an hour, before even taking a few bites of the food, the bottom of the four bottles of red wine was gone.
This situation is really beyond Feng Qianshan’s expectation!
After all, in the upper class, when eating and drinking, they only have a small taste of the wine. The so-called "do not return until you are drunk" is the job of the boss.
Feng Qianshan prepared a total of five bottles of good wine. Depending on the situation, it was totally not enough!
"Mr. Huo, Sir Lei, this young master, Zhan Mizi, I'm sorry, I'll excuse you for a moment and go to the bathroom!"
Feng Qianshan has been in business for many years and has good adaptability. He stood up and said.
"Mr. Feng is free!"
Everyone nodded, but none of them regarded Feng Qianshan as one of their own, and spoke more politely.
Bang...
The door to the private room was opened, and a huge noise came from outside: there were many and chaotic tones, including applause, cheers, and chatter.
"kindness?"
Huo Jingliang frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction:
"What the hell is going on in this Queen's Restaurant? Why is it so out of style tonight? Let everyone in."
Yaoyang glanced outside and said with a smile:
"I think the soundproofing of the private rooms in this restaurant is excellent! Moreover, doesn't Mr. Huo think that it is precisely because of this contrast that we appear to be gentle?"
"Well……"
Huo Jingliang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Hahaha, yes, Yaoyangzi, you are right. Having style often requires support from others. If not, how can we show that we have quality?"
"Ah!"
After hearing Huo Jingliang's words, Ding Shanben and Zhan Mizai looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled:
"Huo Jingliang is really a strange person. In some aspects, he is extremely grand, heroic and coercive. In some aspects, he is also very stingy. He doesn't like it even if someone makes the banquet louder."
"Come on, Zhan Mizi, let's drink again!"
After a smile, the friendly atmosphere continued, and several people clinked glasses with each other and started chatting.
This conversation lasted for about twenty minutes, but the strange thing was that Feng Qianshan hadn't come back yet.
"What the hell is this old Feng doing, taking so long to go to the bathroom?" Huo Jingliang looked at the gold watch in his hand, and after drinking a glass with Yaoyang, he was a little dissatisfied with the alcohol.
But this time, even Ding Shanben felt that Feng Qianshan was a little rude, and frowned slightly:
"Yes, Mr. Feng, what took you so long? Did something happen?"
"Xianben, stop thinking nonsense. This is the Queen's Restaurant. No one can eat here. What can happen to Mr. Feng!"
Yaoyang shook his head, raised his glass, pointed to the opened door of the box, and said:
"Look, that's not coming back."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door of the box. Sure enough, the door was pushed open. Feng Qianshan, who had a slight sweat stain on his forehead, came back and said with an apologetic look:
"I'm sorry, everyone, I met some friends below and chatted a little more!"
"It's okay. It's human nature to chat when you meet friends. Mr. Feng, please sit down."
Ding Shanben has a good-natured character and said without caring.
That's not the case with Huo Jingliang.
Huo Jingliang was very proud of himself, and in his opinion, this time he was extremely kind to Feng and helped Feng Qianshan a lot.
It's good now. Feng Qianshan met a few friends casually, chatted for a long time before coming back, and left his benefactor here. Is this okay?
Feng Qianshan had just sat down with a smile. Huo Jingliang, who felt that he had lost a bit of face, immediately got angry and said in a faint voice:
"I don't know if you, Lao Feng, have any friends who are so great that they can leave me, Huo Jingliang, alone here for a long time to chat with them first!"
Well……
Feng Qianshan was startled, with a slightly troubled expression on his face, as if he didn't want to answer, or didn't know how to answer.
"What? Is it that I, Huo Jingliang, don't deserve to know, or that I don't deserve to know you?"
Huo Jingliang became even more unhappy. He asked whether the other party dared to answer, and his voice became colder.
Feng Qianshan was startled and did not dare to hide it anymore, so he immediately responded:
"Mr. Huo, it's Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye? There are many gentlemen named Ye in Hong Kong Zong City. Who is Mr. Ye?"
Huo Jingliang held up a glass of red wine and didn't bother to ask any more questions.
Facing Huo Jingliang's intimidating inquiry, Feng Qianshan felt sweat dripping from his head even though he was more than ten years older than Huo Jingliang. He felt huge pressure and said carefully:
"It's Mr. Ye Xiaoli!"
"Ye Xiaoli?"
When Huo Jingliang heard this name, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he said in an extremely calm tone:
"Oh, it turns out to be Howard. He and I have been friends for a long time! No wonder it's so noisy down there. Since it's Howard holding a big banquet, it's not surprising!"
As he spoke, Huo Jingliang stared at Feng Qianshan with eyes like a wolf, and continued:
"What kind of banquet is Howard holding down there? His birthday?"
Gudu...
Feng Qianshan swallowed his saliva and secretly hated himself for being so stupid. He went out to order some good wine. Even if he had lost some face before, he could have asked the waiter to bring it to him.
But when Huo Jingliang pressed him to this point, he had to bite the bullet and answer:
"It's Mr. Ye's wedding anniversary!"
Snapped……
Hearing this, Huo Jingliang's face darkened, and he put the red wine glass on the table, causing the red wine to overflow and stains to splash everywhere.
Seeing Huo Jingliang's appearance, Ding Shanben, who knew the reason, quickly spoke and shouted carefully:
"Uncle Shi!"
Next to Yaoyang, Zhan Mizai also did his homework. He was afraid that Yaoyang would not know the situation, so he whispered in his ear:
"Yip Xiaoli is a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. The Mingda Group he founded ranks among the top ten in the real estate industry in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market."
"I heard that Ye Xiaoli was eager for quick success when he was young. Although the industries were different, he often had conflicts with Mr. Huo. Now that he is middle-aged, he wants to establish himself and have a good reputation after getting rich."
"Ye Xiaoli's current wife was once Mr. Huo's wife and the biological mother of Mr. Huo's only daughter!"
"Everyone in the Hong Kong Comprehensive City business community knows that Mr. Huo and Ye Xiaoli have a very bad relationship. It can be said that their hatred is as deep as the sea. Either you die or I die."
Yaoyang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In fact, he knew Huo Jingliang's deeds very well, including his family.
Huo Jingliang was a man of great power in his life, but the only thing he suffered a huge loss from was being forced into a corner.
It is said that he and his wife both studied in the UK, supported each other there, and both of them had a good impression. Finally, they got married and gave birth to a daughter, Huo Xixian.
The two parties can be said to be a couple in need.
After returning to Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, Huo Jingliang's career grew bigger and bigger, and he made the mistake that many men make, playing around with women outside.
At the same time, his wife worked as Ye Xiaoli's assistant in the Mingda Group, and the two fell in love with each other.
It is not difficult to imagine that Huo Jingliang divorced his wife and his wife married Ye Xiaoli!
This incident can be said to be the biggest failure in Huo Jingliang's life, and Huo Jingliang regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.
Whenever there is an opportunity, Huo Jingliang would crazily target the Mingda Group, and he would not mind even if he "hurts others with his own conduct".
However, the real estate business has developed rapidly in recent years. As an industrialist, Ye Xiaoli blocked the targets of Huo Jingliang, a big speculator, and fought with him frequently.
The two of them have been fighting each other for nearly ten years, and their grudges are so deep that they can no longer be resolved.
It was originally an excellent private banquet, but after Feng Qianshan left and returned, the situation changed drastically.
Huo Jingliang's willful anger made Feng Qianshan frightened, Ding Shanben worried, and Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai were greatly affected even though they were fine.
After a long time, Huo Jingliang put a smile on his face again, picked up the red wine on the table, stood up and said:
"Since it's Howard's wedding anniversary, as an old friend, I have to go have a drink with him and congratulate him!"
Yaoyang saw this, picked up a glass of red wine, stood up immediately, and said with a smile:
To be continued...
