In the west wing of the Zhou family, Yi Jiefang, Wan Dayong, Ding Datou and Geng Dasheng were so happy that their eyes lit up after hearing what Zhang Guoqing said.
"Then hurry up and act. You won't have time when school starts in a few days."
"Right! Come on, let's discuss this. If that grandson doesn't get skinned alive this time, I won't be named Wan."
"Brother Dayong, the key is to catch that kid and don't let him get away."
"He is close to Hei Lao San. I will ask him to keep an eye on him later. He won't dare to disobey." Wan Dayong waved his hand confidently.
"Is it okay for Dasheng to find a few people to fill in the crowd tomorrow?"
Geng Dasheng shook his head: "I have a lot of buddies in the police station. You decide how many you want to arrest when the time comes."
"Just five people, ten will be enough. Let them eat and drink in another room first, and then we can bring the five people in when we are almost done and get to the point."
"What about me, Brother Dayong."
"Big Head, tell me what you want to do first."
"Dayi, you have so many clever ideas, tell us about them. It's so rare to find something fun here, we have to join in."
"Don't worry, let's first decide how many people to invite and where to set up the venue. The most crucial point is that Liang Biezi is too low-class and his pretense is too high for him."
"Oh, you don't know, he always talks about his uncle and he wants to change his last name."
Yi Jiefang said with a wicked smile, "Isn't that even better? As much fun as you want to beat him up, that's all."
"Don't interrupt! Let's talk about the location first." Wan Dayong looked at Zhang Guoqing without saying a word and kicked him. "Hurry up."
Zhang Guoqing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, before I even opened my mouth, you all have already come up with a plan."
Several people burst into laughter.
"As for people, I'd like to invite more. Whether they come or not is up to them, as the notice has been given. As for excuses, I can find any when the time comes."
"School hasn't started yet, so there will definitely be a lot of people coming to join in the fun. The venue can't be too small, and it has to be quiet."
"No! The most important thing is that this meal is his apology. We can't arrange it ourselves, we have to go to a restaurant. When the time comes, we can just wipe our mouths and ask him to pay."
Zhang Guoqing said Ding Datou was smart! He hit the nail on the head.
"Big Head, how about that private restaurant in the north of the city that we always go to? You know a lot of people there, so we'll book it for the day."
"no problem."
"Wait. What level should we discuss?"
"What the hell! Just the expensive one will do."
Zhang Guoqing looked at the four guys who were desperate to avoid chaos and smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to intervene, "Just normal is fine. If everyone we invited that day went, that kid wouldn't even be able to pay it back even if he sold his blood."
Good friend Yi Jiefang immediately turned around and said, "Yes, yes, we are talking about reason in the past, and we must act with righteousness. If this really exceeds the state banquet, everyone will be punished when they get home."
Except for Zhang Guoqing, a few others pointed their fingers in disdain after hearing this - I don’t know who was shouting that as long as the expensive one is fine!
"Brothers, I'm thinking about you. Besides, can we do without meat even if it's bad?" Yi Jiefang finished explaining and kicked Ding Datou, who was grinning foolishly. "This is your responsibility."
"No problem. What date? It has to be at least two days in advance. I can't break this rule."
Yi Jiefang looked at Zhang Guoqing: "Three days later? It's the weekend."
Without waiting for his response, several people immediately decided to do so on the third day. Everyone began to notify various parties and make arrangements in advance.
For two days, most people received Zhang Guoqing's invitations to a get-together. Curious, suspicious, and everywhere, they contacted each other. Wow... this is going to be a big get-together.
For a moment, he felt quite proud to have received an invitation. Some even called the Zhou family to ask Zhang Guoqing for a spot, which made him laugh and cry.
In addition to these, a large number of people also said that everyone should contribute to the expenses, so he should not be embarrassed to ask.
An unexpected invitation made Zhou Jiao feel deeply touched - this era is really lacking in entertainment. Otherwise, who wouldn't have thought about this party?
A group of young people were making a big fuss, and the elders in the family had heard about it to some extent, but before they could say a few words, the day finally came.
Early in the morning, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao slipped out of the compound and went to a private house in the north of the city with Yi Jiefang and the other three.
Because we expected a lot of people to come and go that day, we filled the open space in the yard with tables. Fortunately, it was late summer, otherwise it would have been freezing cold.
After planning for so long, it is about to begin, and the planners are undoubtedly very excited.
We booked a gathering for noon, and before ten o'clock, the yard was already filled with groups of three or five people standing there. Everyone was chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
That day, except for one private room where a uniformed man was escorting five bruised-faced guys, all the tables in the other rooms were placed in the yard outside.
At ten o'clock, Zhang Guoqing saw that even Mr. Wu and his men had arrived, and even the girls who usually liked to arrive late were there. As for the culprit, that fool had arrived even earlier and was making a lot of noise.
Seeing this, he didn't say much and just asked someone to serve the food and eat first.
Each table features four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes. Braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised pork liver, two stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and stewed tofu soup. These five dishes, meticulously prepared by our renowned chefs, are truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and spirits!
For a moment, everyone wasted no time, finding a seat nearby and picking up their chopsticks to eat. As for the few smart people who saw that Zhang Guoqing didn't open his mouth to say polite words, they hesitated for a moment and filled their stomachs first.
Halfway through the meal, Zhang Guoqing signaled to Ding Datou that he could have some wine, otherwise the rest of the show would be difficult to perform. How could one get excited without some alcohol?
Young Master Wu glanced at his buddies, then at Zhang Guoqing, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, what's going on here? We've been eating and drinking for so long, isn't it time for you, the host, to say a few words?"
"Drink! Wu Ge, eat first."
Fang Fei glanced at Zhou Jiao and poured wine for Master Wu beside him: "Please be patient. It's been a while since we've had such a lively time. I really want to write a few poems."
With his interruption, the topic naturally changed. Of course, most of the smart people at the table could see that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but who was it targeting?
It’s none of their business, so they’re just happy to watch the fun!
After three rounds of drinks, people at more than a dozen tables started eating and drinking. The topics they could talk about were almost the same, and the place gradually quieted down.
At this moment, Zhang Guoqing picked up his glass and stood up.
"Hahahaha...you finally spoke."
"Xiaowu, say a few words..."
Wu Ge looked at the people around him and found that everyone was waiting to watch the show with great interest.
"Let me drink a glass to toast the brothers and sisters here. Thank you for coming here." Zhang Guoqing raised his glass and gestured to the people around him. After taking a gulp, he shook the glass upside down.
"For this second glass, I have to apologize to everyone first." Zhang Guoqing poured the wine, bowed to everyone to apologize, raised the glass and gestured around before drinking it in one gulp.
"Don't be so intimidating! What's going on? Is there anything we can't talk about between brothers? Why are we being so formal?"
"That's right! Tell us what's wrong, and we can all work together to find a solution..."
"What's going on?"
“…”
Zhang Guoqing looked at the young men and women who were talking around him and knocked on the bowl.
Good friend Yi Jiefang and the others immediately stood up and yelled for everyone to quiet down. Zhou Jiao almost burst out laughing at their coordination.
"Before I toast the third glass of wine, I want to say something first. Brothers and sisters, please give me some advice." Zhang Guoqing looked at everyone.
