At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 389 He Still Remembers
My dad was a little curious, "Shiqiu, are you a VIP customer in this restaurant? How much do you have to spend to be treated like this?"
Xiao Shiqiu smiled modestly, “I don’t actually eat at the Imperial Banquet Hall very often, so I’m not considered a VIP customer.
But I am now the largest shareholder of Yuyantang."
My mother was stunned when she heard what Xiao Shiqiu said, and she quickly said, "Then Sisi..."
My dad tugged at her clothes and said, "Sisi went to dinner with Mr. Xiao's people."
My mother was a little dissatisfied: "Didn't you just say that Vice Mayor Zhong could come too?"
Ha, my mother really flatters her own daughter who is not presentable and compares her with the deputy mayor.
As expected, even without Xiao Shiqiu rejecting it, my dad was the first to object, "Can Sisi be like Deputy Mayor Zhong? Don't make things worse."
Fortunately, my mother usually saves face for my father in public, and she didn't say anything else.
Plate after plate of exquisite cold dishes began to be served. Deputy Mayor Zhong had not arrived yet, so we were all waiting without picking up our chopsticks.
My dad looked like he was having a very pleasant conversation with Xiao Shiqiu, and his tone was becoming more and more enthusiastic. I suspected that if they had a couple more drinks, my dad would want to become sworn brothers with him.
When the first hot dish was served, Vice Mayor Zhong arrived with his secretary.
As soon as he entered the room, he smiled heartily and said, "Boss Xiao, I didn't see you the last time you came to T City. You can't miss me this time."
When my father saw Vice Mayor Zhong come in, he hurriedly stood up and went forward to shake hands with him.
"You are Mr. Xiao's future father-in-law, right? Hello, hello. What's your last name?"
This was probably the most high-ranking official my father had ever had close contact with. His face turned red with excitement and he hurriedly introduced himself.
After everyone had some commercial praise, Vice Mayor Zhong turned the topic to the purpose of his visit.
"Mr. Xiao, you came to the industrial park for an inspection last time. What are your plans for the future?"
This deputy mayor was in charge of attracting investment, so as soon as he heard that Xiao Shiqiu was coming, he immediately came to meet him.
Xiao Shiqiu looked a little embarrassed, "I am satisfied with the investment policy, but the safety issue of the park makes me a little hesitant.
My girlfriend had some problems at the hotel last time, and I heard some crimes happened in the park. I wonder how they were handled.
After all, safety is a big issue, so I want to wait and see."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Deputy Mayor Zhong said to his secretary, "Xiao Hu, go find out what's going on tomorrow.
If the county's handling of the case is inefficient, let the municipal bureau take over. Any problems must be resolved promptly, and businesses must not be left with any safety concerns."
If he hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I feel a little ashamed when I think about it. After I received the compensation, I put the matter behind me and never asked whether those two bastards were caught.
I didn't expect that Xiao Shiqiu still took this matter to heart.
After Xiao Shiqiu finished talking about this matter, Deputy Mayor Zhong began to talk about other things.
Like his friendship with Secretary Yu, his long-standing admiration for Mr. Xiao, and the rapid rise of STG Group.
My dad was stunned when he heard this. Mr. Xiao was probably quite famous among his generation. It was said that he was a celebrity who often dominated the news broadcast.
While listening to old gossip, I ate various imperial meals that I could not easily eat on ordinary days.
At this time, I saw my mother looking at her mobile phone. Her elegant and reserved smile could no longer be maintained, and she looked a little restless.
I don’t know if Deng Sisi sent her any message.
