Pang Cheng had already left, and Chen Yang didn't say much.
It was just a meal anyway, so let them order.
What could they do? Business was more important.
Chen Yang said, "Young Master Shen, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us."
Shen Qingxi asked, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
Chen Yang laughed, "Well, this morning the Public Security Bureau contacted me, saying they arrested some thugs at the Shen family's construction site in the old city. They actually claimed I sent them!
They even had the Public Security Bureau call me in for questioning for ages. Isn't that blatant slander?
Everyone in Jiangcheng knows we grew up together. Would I do something like that?
It's obvious someone's sabotaging this. I was just worried you'd misunderstand, Brother Shen, so I came to explain."
Shen Qingxi said, "Oh, so that's what happened. Speaking of which, I actually did look into it!
The Public Security Bureau said those thugs claimed you sent them, which gave me quite a shock.
I said, we grew up together, how could you do something like that, something that would make your sons childless and your lineage cut off, something that's not even human?"
He chuckled softly.
Qu Rou couldn't hold back this time; she laughed out loud.
Shen Qingxi rolled his eyes at Qu Rou.
Qu Rou lowered her head, trying to hide her emotions.
Chen Yang's face darkened.
Shen Qingxi looked at Chen Yang: "Hey, Yangzi, what's wrong with you?
Did I say something wrong? Or do you think I wasn't accurate enough? Do you want to add something?"
Chen Yang swallowed his anger.
"No, Brother Shen, you're absolutely right.
This kind of person deserves to be struck by lightning."
Shen Qingxi was shocked. What a ruthless person.
He's so angry that he's even cursing himself.
Shen Qingxi patted Chen Yang's shoulder.
"Exactly, you don't know, this bastard, I don't know which old bastard gave birth to this little bastard. He's just wasting air while alive and wasting land when he's dead.
Doesn't he care if his ancestral graves are dug up later? He's just a piece of trash..."
Chen Yang had already exploded: "Enough!"
Shen Qingxi squinted at Chen Yang: "Oh? Yangzi, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yang clenched his fist, barely suppressing the urge to punch Shen Qingxi in the face.
He forced a smile.
He said, "I saw you've been scolding for so long, Brother Shen, and I was worried you'd be thirsty. Have some water!"
Shen Qingxi was overjoyed; this was hilarious, so very funny.
Shen Qingxi said, "No, I don't like this water. Drinking too much will make me cough. Pang Cheng should have prepared something for me, why isn't he back yet?"
Just as Shen Qingxi finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Pang Cheng walked in ,followed by several waiters.
Each waiter carried a tray.
Then they began serving the dishes.
Pang Cheng held a bottle of red wine in both hands: "Mr. Shen, I saw your favorite drink, so I brought it over for you."
Shen Qingxi glanced at the wine in Pang Cheng's hand.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
Pang Cheng looked at Shen Qingxi with a smile.
Shen Qingxi coughed twice: "Hmm, not bad, this one is pretty good."
Chen Yang, standing to the side, glanced at the red wine in Pang Cheng's hand.
The label was simple, and it didn't look like an old vintage.
It wasn't one of those expensive red wines he'd seen before.
He dismissed his suspicions, having thought Shen Qingxi was trying to rip him off.
Now it seemed this red wine was just some small-time concoction.
He'd never even seen it before; it wasn't even worthy of being used as a mouthwash.
Pang Cheng handed the red wine to the waiter.
He then sat back down next to Qu Rou.
Qu Rou lowered her voice, "That bottle of red wine looks familiar."
Pang Cheng said, "Yeah, it's the one you're thinking of!"
Qu Rou's eyes widened, "Are you two really planning to kill Chen Yang?"
Pang Cheng said, "This has nothing to do with me, I'm just an employee."
Qu Rou covered her mouth, "You two, you're really, too wicked."
Pang Cheng laughed, "Obviously, Chen Yang didn't recognize it."
Qu Rou said, "Of course he wouldn't recognize it, after all, the Chen family has no chance to come into contact with wine of this caliber."
Pang Cheng said, "Just wait and see the show. If it's about serious work, our CEO Shen might be a beat slow to react.
But if you're talking about messing around and having fun, there aren't many people in the whole country better than our CEO Shen."
Qu Rou smiled.
Then, the two quietly waited for the show.
Shen Qingxi said, "Look, this is real food! Come on, Xiao Yangzi, have a taste!"
Shen Qingxi ate with gusto, taking bites of food and sips of wine.
Chen Yang swallowed hard.
You know what, you really can't believe it.
"This food smells amazing!"
Shen Qingxi said with a smile. "Don't be shy, eat up. We can talk after you've eaten."
Chen Yang nodded.
He took a bite; it was indeed delicious.
However, this wasn't his first time in Blue Ocean.
He didn't seem to have seen these dishes before.
Oh well, never mind, he'd eat first.
Shen Qingxi watched Chen Yang enjoying his meal, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Eat, eat, eat more!
After all, this might be his last meal.
Shen Qingxi raised his glass: "Little Yang, thank you so much! I'm so happy to treat you to this meal!"
Chen Yang quickly raised his glass: "Brother Shen, you're too kind. It's all my pleasure!
It's just one meal. If you'd like, Brother Shen, I can treat you every day."
Shen Qingxi smiled but didn't reply.
This kind of meal, treat him every day?
Chen Yang put down his wine glass: "Um, Brother Shen, I actually came here today for something else, about the old city renovation..."
Shen Qingxi raised his hand to interrupt: "Hey, let's not talk about these things while we're eating. Let's just have a good meal today; it's been a long time since we've eaten together."
Chen Yang frowned.
But he wisely refrained from continuing.
Anyway, he felt it was good to build a good relationship with this idiot.
Given the idiot's abilities,
he could always try to take advantage of him later.
It was just a matter of time!
Thinking this, Chen Yang picked up his glass again.
"Brother Shen is right, I was too hasty,"
Shen Qingxi laughed. "It's alright, just be more careful next time."
Shen Qingxi continued to eat; free meals were always the best.
This had always been Shen Qingxi's thought.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes,
Shen Qingxi leaned back in his chair, burping contentedly.
Chen Yang said, "Brother Shen, how was the food? Would you like anything else?"
Shen Qingxi waved his hand: "No need."
Chen Yang said, "Then I'll go pay the bill."
Shen Qingxi laughed: "Look at you, aren't you slapping me in the face? You have to do this kind of thing?"
Chen Yang was stunned.
Had this idiot changed his ways?
Was he going to treat everyone to dinner?
Wait a minute, was this idiot really such a kind person?
Letting him treat?
Shen Qingxi said, "Old Pang, go and call the waiter in. We can't trouble Xiao Yangzi to pay the bill himself. Also, remember to tell the waiter to bring in the POS machine with the highest single transaction limit.
Oh, and one more thing, calculate the bill carefully, make sure you understand it, and don't make any mistakes!"
