Xu Wendong returned to Lianyun County.
Then he headed straight to the Dongshan Seafood Restaurant where he had been overcharged last time.
"Hello, I reserved a private room this morning!" Xu Wendong said to the familiar staff at the bar, "Can I get an invoice today?"
"Of course." Hu Cancan smiled broadly, surprised that Xu Wendong, the gullible guy, came back for more, thinking she could make another big profit today.
"This, this, and this!"
"The usual, Wuliangye!"
Xu Wendong ordered a lot of fresh seafood and patiently waited on the second floor. About half an hour later, Liu Junjiang and Liu Bo arrived in the private room.
Xu Wendong got up to greet them warmly, saying, "Secretary Liu, please take the head seat!"
Who would have thought.
Liu Junjiang said with a stern face, "Master Xu, if I sit at the head, aren’t you slapping me in the face?"
Xu Wendong looked embarrassed, not expecting Liu Junjiang to call him Master Xu.
He must have heard something from that old Zhang Tianlong.
Even so, Xu Wendong said, "I won’t call you Secretary Liu, and you don’t need to call me Master Xu. Let’s just have a regular dinner."
"I call Brother Liu my brother, and you are his uncle. As an elder, the head seat belongs to you!"
Having said this much, Liu Junjiang did not decline, sat at the head seat with a smile, and appreciated Xu Wendong’s modest and courteous attitude.
Liu Bo, on the other hand, happily picked up the kettle to pour water for Liu Junjiang and Xu Wendong, taking a liking to Xu Wendong, especially the part about being brothers, which really gave him face.
"Wendong, you really hide well, not a bit straightforward!" Liu Bo said, "If it weren’t for Master Zhang slipping his tongue at dinner, we wouldn’t have known such a big Buddha came to Lianyun!"
Liu Junjiang chuckled bitterly, "Actually, it’s not Xiao Xu’s fault. We were just shortsighted."
Yesterday, he had dinner with Zhang Tianlong.
He was thinking of asking Zhang Tianlong to foresee his future.
But Zhang Tianlong said he wasn’t good at that.
There was indeed a big Buddha in Lianyun, a real big Buddha.
After much inquiry, Zhang Tianlong finally revealed some information about the big Buddha.
He found out it was Xu Wendong.
Learned that Xu Wendong came from Qingyuan County and had fixed the feng shui there.
Liu Junjiang was astonished by this revelation.
He didn’t expect Xu Wendong to have such a background, even being Zhang Tianlong’s lifesaver.
Because of this, he let Liu Bo invite Xu Wendong to dinner.
"Xiao Xu, let me get straight to the point. This time I invited you, hoping you could look into my future!" Liu Junjiang looked tense.
Xu Wendong smiled, "Uncle Liu, your career will prosper. Within a month, you will definitely be promoted."
Liu Bo’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Uncle, I told you that you would get promoted. Now do you believe me?"
Liu Junjiang looked at Xu Wendong with a serious expression.
He didn’t expect Xu Wendong to really be a master in this area.
Actually, he had already heard the rumors.
If nothing unexpected happens, the organization department would question him in three days.
Xu Wendong sipped his tea and calmly asked, "But is leaving really a good thing?"
As soon as he said this.
Liu Junjiang immediately formed a determination in his heart, his eyes shining with excitement.
Although that position had a higher level, for Liu Junjiang, the power that position brought was far less tempting than staying in Lianyun County.
The higher-ups were about to talk to him.
It was said to be a conversation, but actually, it was just a formality.
He couldn’t change the outcome at all!
Xu Wendong said, "Uncle Liu, the reconstruction of People’s Square should still be led by you!"
Liu Junjiang didn’t know why Xu Wendong said this.
But he agreed, "I will announce it at tomorrow’s early meeting."
He had the utmost confidence in Xu Wendong’s abilities.
Naturally, he also listened to him.
After a few rounds of drinks.
Liu Junjiang gave Liu Bo a glance, signaling him to settle the bill.
Xu Wendong quickly got up to stop him, "Brother Liu, don’t do this. Hosting you for dinner as a junior is only natural. If you do this, it will be a slap in my face!"
Liu Junjiang said, "Wendong, there’s no need for such politeness among us men. I must host this meal; next time, you can host."
After all, Xu Wendong had given him guidance that could change his future fate.
"Brother Liu, please also ask them to issue me an invoice!" Xu Wendong handed Liu Bo the receipt from his previous dinner.
Liu Bo went to the bar on the first floor, "Hello, settle the bill for upstairs 206!"
Hu Cancan didn’t expect it to be Liu Bo settling the bill, but she still printed out the receipt and said, "Hello, today’s bill is sixty-four thousand three hundred sixty-six!"
Liu Bo almost spat out his drink, looking at her with disbelief, "How much did you say?"
Hu Cancan said matter-of-factly, "Sixty-four thousand three hundred sixty-six!"
"Are we eating dragon liver or phoenix gall? Your prices are outrageous!" Liu Bo was full of anger and grabbed the receipt to look over it.
"Damn it, is your seafood charged by the gram?" Liu Bo was extremely angry but found it amusing. As Liu Junjiang’s driver, this was the first time he had encountered being overcharged for a meal.
"The prices are all on the aquarium." Hu Cancan said nonchalantly.
Liu Bo glanced at the prices on the aquarium, cursing, "There are prices, but couldn’t you mark the price per gram bigger?"
Hu Cancan shrugged, "If you didn’t look carefully, who can you blame?"
He punched the cash register, "This is a classic case of fraudulent advertising, do you believe I will report you?"
Hu Cancan looked proud, "Feel free to report, as long as your report has an outcome! But before that, you need to pay the bill first."
"Damn it, you are scamming a young master. Do you know who I am?" Liu Bo was furious, he couldn’t believe something happened in Lianyun.
"Even if you are the emperor, you must pay the bill!" A cold voice accompanied the owner of the seafood shop as he walked down from the second floor with a cigarette in his mouth.
Liu Bo raised an eyebrow, "What if I don’t pay, what can you do to me?"
The seafood shop owner looked disdainful, "If you want to dine and dash, then sorry, I’ll call the police to catch you, and then let them contact your relatives to come pay for you, it’s that simple!"
Liu Bo laughed heartily, "Alright, call the police then!"
"I can responsibly tell you."
"I am definitely dining and dashing this time!" He casually pulled out a chair and sat on it, not only lighting a cigarette but also putting his feet up.
The seafood shop owner’s eyes flashed with cold light, "Since you don’t appreciate kindness, I’ll let you have it!" He said as he looked at the cashier, "Call the police, let them arrest him!"
The police quickly arrived at the seafood shop.
The shop owner pointed at Liu Bo, "Chief Wang, this guy is dining and dashing, please arrest him!"
Wang Xiangqian took a deep breath when he saw Liu Bo, "Secretary Liu, why are you here?"
