After exchanging pleasantries, Li Junsheng continued to discuss serious matters with Tang Liang's parents.
"Tang Liang's parents, as you can see, my family is well-off. We just hope that our daughter won't be wronged, so we will definitely provide a dowry. As for your side, we don't have any requirements, as long as Tang Liang treats Xiaoyu well and doesn't let her be bullied."
"The second thing is the wedding banquet. My restaurant also contracts wedding banquets and takes care of wedding arrangements. We'll cover the cost of the banquet!"
"How many relatives do you have? How many tables do you need for the banquet? Just tell us the numbers and the restaurant will make preparations accordingly."
Upon hearing this, Tang Liang's parents and aunt and uncle exchanged bewildered glances.
Unexpectedly, Li Junsheng was so generous that the Tang family didn't even need to host the wedding banquet!
As long as it's time, relatives and friends can come over for the feast.
Given their excellent family situation, it's clear they could have asked Tang Liang to come to their home, but they still gave him basic face!
Tang's parents were truly speechless!
In truth, Tang Liang also felt that he had wronged Li Xiaoyu. His family's situation was not good, and they couldn't give Xiaoyu anything.
If my family were better off, or if I worked a little harder, I could give her more good things!
At this point, the waiters brought over a variety of dishes, including braised pork knuckles, chicken, duck, and fish.
Almost all the dishes were meat. Even the cold dishes meant to cut through the greasiness were things like cucumber salad with pig's ears or pig's liver!
Li Junsheng also opened a bottle of fine wine, a bottle of aged Moutai that had been stored in the cellar for many years. Even if Tang Dongliang was short-sighted, as a drinker, he should recognize this Moutai.
So many people have the money and want to drink it, but they don't know how to buy it!
But right now, Li Junsheng took out three bottles!
Three whole bottles—that's several months' wages for a normal worker—but Li Junsheng didn't even blink.
Even Tang Liang's uncle, Fang Youcai, couldn't help but gasp in amazement; Brother Li's generosity was truly astounding.
He owns a large restaurant where he eats lavish meals every day, and he seems to take fine wines that others can't even buy for granted.
This shows how well they live their daily lives!
Come to think of it, these days, a worker has to work hard to support his family. Let alone eating big fish and meat, it's considered good if he can eat meat a few times a month.
Nobody lives such a good life!
They're both large families, but the difference is like night and day.
Especially for Mr. and Mrs. Tang, this was the first time they had been treated like honored guests. If they weren't about to become in-laws with Li Junsheng, they wouldn't have had the chance to eat and drink such good food and wine!
Li Junsheng was unaware of what Tang Liang's parents were thinking. He opened the wine and personally poured a glass for Tang Liang's father and uncle Fang Youcai, but neglected Tang Liang's eldest uncle.
Uncle Tang Liang was holding the cup, unsure whether to put it down or keep it up. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into the ground!
What does that mean? Does this person look down on me?
Tang Dongliang's gaze towards Li Junsheng held a hint of anger. Li Junsheng noticed it but didn't care. He smiled at Tang's parents as usual and said, "Don't be shy. Make sure I treat you well today before you go back. Come and try our restaurant's food!"
"Auntie, Aunt Tang, this pork knuckle is fatty but not greasy, it's really good, let me get you some."
Li Xiaoyu served food to her future mother-in-law, and of course, she didn't forget her aunt who was standing to the side.
Auntie didn't care whether Li Xiaoyu was neglecting her or not; there were more than twenty dishes on the table, so why not eat them?
She picked up her chopsticks and began eating and drinking as if no one else was around!
Tang Dongliang was only interested in the Moutai liquor; he ate very little of the food, only the liquor, which he drank one cup after another.
Li Junsheng felt that he was swallowing it whole, like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit, without properly tasting the Moutai and other liquors.
With a little hand raised and a neck tilted back, it was poured down the throat.
Just then, someone pushed open the door to the private room. Li Junsheng turned around and saw that it was a regular customer who often came to eat there.
He was holding a glass of wine, and when he saw Li Junsheng, he smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you. I knew that your little daughter was getting engaged today, so I came to offer you a toast and congratulate you!"
When someone came to offer a toast, Li Junsheng couldn't just ignore them, so he quickly got up and lightly clinked glasses with them.
"How thoughtful of you! Sit down and have something to eat with us so we can share in the joy!"
"No, no, my friends are still waiting for me outside. I'll just come over to offer a toast. You all enjoy your meal and drinks. Congratulations, Mr. Li, you'll soon have another son-in-law!"
"Then have a celebratory cigarette, to share in the joy, and wish your family continued good fortune."
Li Junsheng took out a box of brand-new, unopened cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and handed out two or three to his old customer.
He didn't stand on ceremony; he took one cigarette with his mouth and two with his ear and carried them away.
After seeing off the person who offered the toast, several more people came to offer toasts together. Who knows when they might need to use Li Junsheng's restaurant.
So now is the perfect opportunity for anyone with a knack for getting things done. They can show their face in front of him and negotiate discounts when they have a meal at the restaurant or host a banquet!
Who can blame them when Li Junsheng's restaurant is so impressive? It's a place that can impress anyone, whether it's a graduation banquet, a baby's one-month celebration, or even a wedding banquet.
Seeing the endless stream of people offering toasts to Li Junsheng, Tang Liang's parents, aunt, and uncle could only sigh with regret.
"Xiao Liang's dad, our in-laws have really wide connections! So many people have come to toast us!"
"That's right, they're all dressed smartly, and they don't look like ordinary people."
Fang Youcai also looked at Li Junsheng with new respect. In such a short time, he had gone from a worker who had resigned to someone so unapproachable.
At this age, to have achieved so much is truly remarkable!
Tang Dongliang, who was drinking nearby, was genuinely jealous of Tang Liang when he saw this scene!
This kid is incredibly lucky to have caught the eye of the Li family's eldest daughter. If they really get married, Tang Liang's future will be bright, right?
Then think about your son. A couple of years ago, he married a woman who wasn't very capable. Now that they're divorced, if he wants to remarry, all he'll be left with are divorced women or widows raising children alone.
There are no normal girls to be found, let alone girls from a good family like Li Junsheng!
How could Tang Dongliang not be jealous?
In addition, Tang Dongliang didn't eat a single bite of food but drank several cups of wine. As the alcohol took effect, he took advantage of his drunkenness to deliberately nitpick at Li Junsheng.
It would be best if Tang Liang and Li Xiaoyu's marriage fell through!
After everyone had finished toasting Li Junsheng, Li Junsheng returned to his seat, and Tang Dongliang began to probe Li Junsheng for information.
"I heard from Tang Liang that you, Xiaoyu's father, used to be a worker in a machine factory? You worked there for many years, right?"
Li Junsheng nodded, wondering why he was being asked these questions.
Sensing that Tang Dongliang harbored ill intentions, Li Junsheng didn't want to say anything more to him.
