The three arrogant and domineering waiters crawled away in disgrace. Manager Liang turned to me, smiled at me and said, "I'm really sorry that you have been wronged. In this way, I will compensate you on behalf of the hotel." Shark's fin ointment, please don't worry about it, Zhang Tianshi. Please come to our hotel more often in the future, you are a distinguished guest."
This lobby manager is really good at talking. He knows whether money is a small thing or a big thing. After all, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. If the embarrassing thing today is spread, there is no telling how many customers the hotel will lose.
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sell you some face. Please find someone to mail the shark's fin ointment you sent to Jidao Tianshi Pavilion."
The lobby manager smiled and agreed. Then, he turned to the people watching in the lobby and said loudly: "Everyone, it's okay. It's all the fault of those three ignorant waiters. I have fired them now. For , our hotel has zero tolerance for such people, please don't be offended. At the same time, I will give you an assorted fruit plate for each table on behalf of the hotel to apologize for disturbing everyone's meal. Okay, everyone, please go back to your seats in your room and continue to eat. .”
I thought this farce would come to an end, so I turned around to take the elevator upstairs, but when I turned around, I saw the person I least wanted to see. I don’t know when Zuo Xiaobao came to the first floor and was still looking at me with his hands on his hips and a proud look on his face.
"Hey, it's Zhang Ruoxu. You've been late for a long time. What's going on? I heard that you are always punctual. Today, I thought you were too shabby and unworthy. Then, people turned you away. ! Look at how you look. You come to such a high-end hotel to eat, and you don’t even change your clothes. You are still acting like a slovenly, disheveled person. That’s why people will treat you like a beggar.”
Dogs still can't change a dog's temper. Those three just looked down upon people, but this dog relied on people's power. If it weren't for him, what right would he have to be arrogant with me here.
Ren Lingling was afraid that I would have another conflict with him, so she hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: "Xiao Bao, Fourth Young Master, the reason why we gather together for dinner today is to make a peace and resolve the conflicts between us. Don't worry about these unworthy things." , It hurts the peace. Come on, let’s go up, don’t keep the big guys waiting.”
When did Ren Lingling become so humble when facing Zuo Xiaobao? Unlike her, could it be that Zuopang and the others really settled the fines imposed by the Ren family? There were many examples of using money to resolve conflicts.
If such a huge hatred between their two families can be resolved with money, it can only be said that the power of money is too powerful.
Even Ren Qianqian, who has always been carefree and does everything according to her own temper, has become humble. I went to the appointment today and before I even showed up, I lost a lot. I'm not sure how many pits the Zuo family has dug for me to jump into. No, I must proceed with caution.
It should be said that Zuo Xiaobao has such a lustful and unhappy temper that he has no resistance to beautiful women. He said shamelessly: "Lingling has come forward to reconcile for us! Then I must give face and won't argue with you."
Similarly, I also borrowed Po Xia Donkey's words, "To each other, I don't argue with you not because I'm afraid of you, but because of Mr. Ren's face."
Then, our two bitter rivals and the two sisters from the Ren family got into the elevator together and pressed the button for the sixth floor.
As soon as we got off the elevator, a young man stood in front of us with his hands on his hips. Although he looked very young, he gave us a feeling of superiority. We even felt that he was not a local, but maybe from the capital.
He first pointed at Zuo Xiaobao and scolded him, "Zuo Xiaobao, what did you do? Can't you just ask someone to go down and wait for Zhang Ruoxu in advance? You made us wait in vain for so long and delayed the Long family's affairs. You Are you responsible? If I had known you were so dishonest, I shouldn't have gone to the Department of Justice and asked someone to bail you out."
Zuo Xiaobao immediately lost the arrogant attitude before, and instead treated the young man submissively. He changed from the mad dog who just relied on his power to a licking dog, apologizing again and again, and almost slapped himself in the face.
The young man shook his hand at him, obviously because he was annoyed. Then he looked at me and snorted disdainfully, "You are the fourth disciple of Fenglei Taoist Master Hu Tianshi, right? I thought you were very impressive. You are late for so long, it turns out you are still a rustic country boy. I can’t see any trace of your master in you, but Master Hu Tian needs to be temperamental and capable."
The other party spoke very rudely, and even had a hint of contempt for me. If it were the Ren family sisters just now, they would have vented their anger on my behalf, but they were both mute at the moment. It was obvious that this young man had a good background, or a lot of it. He must be a member of the Long family in Beijing. But I have a very stubborn temper. No matter who he is, he can't be arrogant with me. I started to make eye contact with him.
Similarly, he looked at me calmly, his eyes were also extremely sharp, without any dodge. Logically speaking, I looked at him with such a vicious look. Most people would be a little timid, but I could see from his eyes. He showed a kind of condescending contempt. I don't know if he is used to being arrogant or domineering or if he is really capable.
Zuo Xiaobao stood aside and saw this young man pointing the finger at me. He looked on coldly with a smirk on his face, hoping that I would fight with him so that he could take the opportunity to humiliate me.
"Zhang Ruoxu, don't look at me so unconvinced. Let me tell you the truth. Your Ji Dao sect is just like the Dadi Sect. In my eyes, they are not popular." The young man spoke loudly and extremely arrogantly. This is my first time. I saw someone who dared to speak such nonsense.
"Why should I be convinced? I don't know who you are? Maybe you're hooking up with a wolf named Zuo. You guys are just in trouble together." I sneered, equally ruthless.
I said this intentionally. My temperament is different from that of the Zuo family. They flatter superiors and subordinates, but I am stubborn. I will not bend my eyebrows and bend my waist to serve the powerful. In my opinion, happiness is the most important thing. Let me I would rather not do anything that makes me unhappy, even if I offend the Long family, I am not afraid. Besides, everyone is created equal, why should I be inferior to others, while this arrogant guy is superior to me?
"Blinding your dog eyes!"
Zuo Xiaobao suddenly shouted at me and said with a sullen face: "Zhang Ruoxu, do you know who this is? This is someone you can't afford to offend."
Before I opened my mouth, the arrogant young man spoke, "Xiaobao!" Then, he winked at me and said jokingly: "Zhang Ruoxu, right? I'll remember you. You have the guts to do this to me." You are still the first to speak. From now on, there will be plenty of opportunities to play with you."
"Have you had enough trouble? We haven't talked about business yet!"
A very deep voice came from the room, and it was also accompanied by a gust of wind blowing towards my face. The master once told me that there is only one person in the world who can speak with wind, and that is the Taoist master, Jiuru Zhenren!
His majestic power made me shudder. This Taoist master has extremely high cultivation level, which can be felt from the wind in his words. Jiuru Zhenren's skills are not weaker than those of his master at his peak, and are even better. .
Just being exposed to his style of speaking can make me feel that it is not the case. If I really meet this expert, I can't tell how scared I will be, because the style of his words is lethal. Take a look The arrogant young man and Zuo Xiaobao both had red slap marks on their cheeks.
Jiuru Zhenren is so strong that he can hit people just by talking...
"Head of the Jida Sect, please come in!" The words he said, "please come in," were strong and powerful.
With a crash, the thick mahogany door was opened from the inside. Unexpectedly, the wind could blow open such a thick door with his words.
I didn't dare to stay and followed Zuo Xiaobao and the young man into the Cathay Hall. The two sisters of the Ren family didn't dare to say anything and followed in with their heads lowered.
The person sitting in the main seat is the person who just spoke. His face is extremely white, without a trace of wrinkles. Although his hair is all white, his heroic spirit is still the same, and he has the aura of a king, but the most distinctive thing is his forehead. A teal headband.
That headband is actually a Taoist urn, a symbol of Taoist masters. However, with the development of the times, few people wear it anymore.
The large revolving table with seats for twenty people has been separated by Jiuru Zhenren. On the left and right are people from the Ji Dao Sect and Dadimen. The right side is empty. Next, sit Xu Chengcheng, Li Huhu, Geng Biaobiao, and Jiuru. To the left of the real person are Zuo Pang, Chugou Taoist, and Zuo Dalong. The remaining empty seat should be Zuo Xiaobao.
As for the four positions facing Master Jiuru, they are the positions of the arrogant young man and the three members of the Ren family, but currently only Ren Guiliang is sitting.
No wonder, such a ruthless person as Zuo Pang can't be ruthless, and he is obedient here. It turns out that Master Jiuru is here to control the situation, but what I didn't expect is that Master Jiuru is actually a master of the Long family. Could it be that Is he coveting the "Book of Five Elements"?
Depending on the situation, I shouldn't use force. After all, there is a big boss here, and I, a junior, have to lie down.
So, I cupped my fists with both hands, bowed slightly to Master Jiuru, "Junior Zhang Ruoxu pays homage to Master Jiuru."
He smiled and said with satisfaction: "Zhang Ruoxu, young Taoist rookie, welcome, come, I've reserved the seat on my left for you."
I put my hands together and thanked him, and sat down next to him.
Although Master Jiuru is a senior Taoist and a top master, he has no airs at all. Instead, he seems to be a kind and approachable person. Although he is not a kind-faced old man, it can be seen that he is very capable and is capable of not being angry or intimidating. .
He picked up the herbal tea in front of him, took a sip, slowly put it down, said "good tea", glanced at Zuo Pang from the left, glanced at me from the right, and then opened his mouth to preside over our reconciliation work.
"Brother Zuo Pang, nephew of Zhang Ruoxu, today I will mediate on behalf of the Long family, hoping to resolve the conflict between your two families. Especially brother Zuo, I am very considerate of your pain of losing your son, but the death of your second son, It is entirely his own fault, and Zhang Ruoxu is not to blame. I hope you will forgive me. As for Zhang Ruoxu, nephew, you are better than your master. I know that you hate evil as much as you hate. Dadimen did do a lot of disgraceful things before, but they are all in the past. I also hope that you can take it for granted and let me go."
Zuo Pang and I looked at each other, his eyes were still full of hatred, and I looked at him full of hostility.
After all, our two factions have been in conflict for so many years, and we have reached the point where we will fight to the death. Either we will use our fierce fire to dry up their bad water, or their bad water will extinguish our strong fire.
Master Jiuru knew that our grievances were deep and not easy to resolve, but he still suppressed both of us, forcibly picked up the wine glass and said: "No matter what you two think, I will pick up the wine first, what should you two do?" "
The words were full of wind, and all of us here felt strong pressure.
We had to raise our glasses, Zuo Pang and I also held the cups in one hand and protected the cups in the other. Seeing that we both gave face, Master Jiuru laughed three times and shouted coolly.
"Dry".
Some people died, but not completely...
