Chen Xiaoqi's abnormal behavior made Yang Qiao completely confused.
He stopped Chen Xiaoqi and said seriously:
"Xiao Qi, are you mistaken? I have never heard of this Xiushan pork. It may come from some small place. Call your uncle and aunt here. What if something goes wrong after eating it? manage?"
When Chen Xiaoqi heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and she replied angrily:
"I was also born in a small place like Bailong City, so I also have a problem?"
"Also, if I remember correctly, your family is also a corner of the countryside. Do you even look down on yourself?"
"Boss Zhang is right. I think you are just crazy about studying abroad, and you are completely admiring foreign things!"
"Forget it, you go and eat at your Ning's Izakaya, I'll eat here."
"Let's each contact Senior Zhao Tong and see who he will choose."
After saying that, the man turned around angrily and entered the store again, without giving Yang Qiao the slightest chance to make amends.
Yang Qiao was speechless by the rebuke. He wanted to catch up and admit his mistake, but when he saw the disdainful looks on Zhang Dachuan and others' faces, he felt a little embarrassed on his face. After hesitating again and again, he could only grit his teeth and said bitterly:
"Senior and the others will come later and they will definitely come to Ning's Izakaya. You can eat here alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Yang Qiao hurriedly walked aside. After seeing the caller ID, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
While waving to Chen Xiaoqi in the store through the glass, he answered the phone flatteringly:
"Hey, senior, are you here already? I'm already on the fourth floor of the mall now."
Chen Xiaoqi glanced at Yang Qiao and ignored him.
This made Yang Qiao feel unhappy, so he deliberately said loudly:
"...Okay, okay, I'll pick you up at the elevator right now."
After hanging up the phone, he took one last look at the indifferent Chen Xiaoqi, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
After I become famous, let's see if you still dare to show off in front of me like this!
He quickly came to the elevator entrance and happened to see the elevator door open.
After the door opened, an easy-going man in his early thirties led a mother and daughter out.
Seeing the person coming, Yang Qiao perked up and immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to hold the other person's hand:
"Hello, Senior Zhao Tong, I am Yang Qiao."
Turning his eyes to the young mother and daughter beside the man, Yang Qiao smiled even brighter:
"This must be my sister-in-law. She is so beautiful and charming, and the little princess is also very cute, haha."
Zhao Tong smiled slightly:
"I remember you. I think you were in the student union of 2000. When I returned to school to give a speech, your student union entertained me, and Xiaoqi was also there."
"By the way, where is Chen Xiaoqi? Why don't you see her?"
While Yang Qiao was reminiscing about the past with Zhao Tong, he glanced at Jiang's restaurant not far away from the corner of his eye, moved his body to block Zhao Tong's sight, and said with a smile:
"Chen Xiaoqi suddenly had an emergency at home, so she left first."
Zhao Tong nodded without doubting his presence.
At this time, Zhao Tong's six-year-old daughter suddenly pulled his sleeve and shouted in a sweet voice:
"Mom, Dad, I want to drink milk tea."
When Zhao Tong's wife heard this, she immediately responded with a smile, and then looked at her husband:
"Husband, since Xiaoqi has something to do, let's go alone."
Zhao Tong nodded, looked at Yang Qiao, pointed at "Jiang's Restaurant" and said with a smile:
"Junior Yang, let's go. I won't wait for Xiaoqi today. I'll have dinner with her another day."
Looking in the direction of Zhao Tong's family of three, Yang Qiao was completely confused.
What's going on? Why did the senior choose this little shabby shop?
If they went in and bumped into Chen Xiaoqi, wouldn't their lies be revealed?
Moreover, I had a conflict with the boss just now. If I go back again, I will be embarrassed at my grandma's house.
After coming back to his senses, Yang Qiao chased after him and stopped in front of Zhao Tong and his wife in an instant:
"Senior, there is a very good Ning's Izakaya here. It is from the Ning family, and it is run in cooperation with the island country. It has island country cuisine and island country sake. How about we go there? I have already booked a seat there. .”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tong smiled and shrugged:
"I don't care, the main thing is that your sister-in-law insists on coming to this 'Jiang's Restaurant' by name."
"Why don't you cancel the reservation at Ning's Izakaya, and let's go in and have a try together, and I'll be the host!"
"Ah...this..."
Yang Qiao subconsciously looked at Zhao Tong's wife.
The latter was being dragged towards "Jiang's Restaurant" by his daughter. Hearing this, he said to Zhao Tong without thinking:
"Husband, didn't you tell me before that izakayas are just roadside stalls in island countries? They bring things that can't be sold to the country to make money. I don't want to go there anyway."
With that said, he and his daughter walked into "Jiang's Restaurant".
Seeing this, Zhao Tong had no choice but to smile apologetically at Yang Qiao:
"Junior, let's go. I will listen to your sister-in-law today. We can go to the izakaya to sit some other time."
As he said that, he had already followed his wife in front.
Yang Qiao was completely dumbfounded.
He invited Zhao Tong to come today, but he wanted to rely on his classmate relationship to try to find a job in the other party's office, so naturally he couldn't go against the other party's wishes.
But just now he offended the owner of "Jiang's Restaurant", and now he ran in, where would he put his face?
However, face is nothing compared to future work.
After a slight hesitation, Yang Qiao convinced himself, gritted his teeth and was ready to follow Zhao Tong in.
He didn't believe it. How could the shop owner still have business?
However, he had just walked to the door and was about to go in when he was stopped by Zhang Dachuan:
"What are you doing here again? Aren't you going to your Ning's Izakaya?"
Yang Qiao felt embarrassed for a moment, then he said bravely:
"Of course I came in here to have a meal. Ning's Izakaya is full."
"What, you open the door to do business and you're not welcome?"
Zhang Dachuan laughed:
"Of course I welcome others with both hands, but you... I really don't welcome you."
"You also said that the domestic meat in our store is expensive and low-grade, and not worthy of returnees like you."
Yang Qiao lost his temper due to the rebuke. Normally he would have exploded earlier, but today for the sake of his future, he could only hold back his nausea and anger and said patiently:
"I just made a slip of the tongue, I didn't mean it."
"If you feel hurt, I can apologize."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dachuan sneered:
"There is no need for you to apologize. I still say the same thing. Our Jiang family restaurant does not welcome you, a lowly person like you who admires foreign things and loves foreign things. Get away!"
Yang Qiao's lungs were about to burst with anger. In desperation, he pointed at Zhang Dachuan and raised his voice:
"Can you say that again!"
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of Zhao Tong in front of him. The latter turned to look at the two people at the door and asked strangely:
"What's wrong, Yang Qiao?"
