Cao Yajun smiled and nodded, believing he wouldn't need Xu Xiangyang's help.
I did this simply to repay a favor; I didn't think much else about it.
The two chatted as they talked, and before long, the draft beer and baijiu were served.
Dishes were set out on the table, and anyone could sit at whichever table they wanted.
Xu Xiangyang was actually quite curious about the purpose of this gathering.
Could it be that this young master is so rich that he's throwing a lavish banquet and treating guests to a meal? That seems unlikely.
He didn't ask anyone else; since he had food and drink and didn't have to pay, he just hung his head and started eating!
It's free anyway, and if you don't finish the pork knuckle, you can take it home.
Just as I had this idea, someone next to me reached out with their chopsticks and snatched away half of the braised pork knuckle with the tip of their chopsticks.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the man and thought, "Good heavens, he's actually gotten so fat and swollen in this day and age."
He had seen this person at the door. He was short, only about 1.6 meters tall, and weighed over 150 kilograms. He had a protruding belly and a fat, chubby face.
While everyone else was roasting lamb, he would occasionally go up and cut off a piece, saying he wanted to taste if it was cooked through.
It was already time for the banquet to begin, and Xu Xiangyang was about to take his second bite of the other half of the pork knuckle when he quickly picked up a piece of pork knuckle skin.
This stuff smells better than meat, especially braised pork hock.
Seeing that he had taken the skin of the meat, the fat man did not stop and took the rest of the meat, bones and all.
Xu Xiangyang: Good heavens, I'm speechless!
Why don't you drink the soup in the plate too?
The moment the idea came to mind, the fat man gulped down the pork knuckle soup, leaving everyone at the table speechless.
"Hey Fatty Lu! Can't you leave some for others? Your dad's a food factory director, do you think he'd let you go hungry? Why are you like this every time we eat?" The young man at the same table was annoyed.
Every time I eat with Fatty Lu, there's nothing left. You can't even steal food from him, let alone leave anything.
He wouldn't want to sit here if there weren't other tables full.
Fatty Lu chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all, and said generously, "How can I compare to the chef's cooking? I rarely come here, and I haven't even eaten breakfast. If you really don't like it, go check out other tables; I'm still hungry."
The food on the table was almost gone, and you have to remember that the meal had only been going on for five minutes.
Xu Xiangyang swallowed hard, realizing that his appetite was nothing compared to others.
I glanced at Cao Yajun next to me; he ate some food and then stopped eating.
After all, if Fatty Lu started grabbing food with his hands, who would dare to use their chopsticks?
Xu Xiangyang decided not to eat anymore, since he had just eaten some mutton and wasn't really hungry.
The person didn't say anything more, rolled their eyes, and got up and left helplessly.
Even if I sit here any longer, I doubt there will be anything left to eat.
After a hearty meal and drinks, several people had flushed faces, indicating they were quite drunk.
"Go sit down for a bit, the main show is about to start." Cao Yajun winked at him, then went to sit down.
Xu Xiangyang didn't understand anything. This was his first time meeting these people, and he didn't know what was going on, so he just followed them and sat down.
The chaotic group of people stood or found places to sit after the dining table was cleared away.
When Ma Xinping saw that it was about time, he had everyone bring the things in, and then everyone started peeking around.
He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone came here today for these things, so let's not waste any time. Just go and pay for whichever book you like."
On a long cutting board, various books were laid out.
Xu Xiangyang curiously leaned closer.
Good heavens, these are all foreign books, books that are not allowed to appear now.
This works?
He frowned and decided it was best not to come again, as it would be easy to get involved.
Even though he has a high-ranking leader backing him, if something really happens at this time, he won't care about his son, or even his father!
Having finally made it to the end, Xu Xiangyang immediately turned and ran.
Wu Hao stopped him, saying, "Comrade Xu, why are you in such a hurry to run?"
He reeked of alcohol and was clearly drunk.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to get too involved with him, after all, this was no joke, and the current situation was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to him.
You can never truly extricate yourself from any connection with these people.
He said with a smile, "Brother Hao, I have something to do. My mother asked me to buy some sugar, but I forgot. If I don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative soon, they will be closed."
After saying that, he tried to shake off Wu Hao's hand that was holding his clothes, but he couldn't.
"What's wrong, brother? You look down on us? You've only been here a short while and you're already going back?" Wu Hao's words became increasingly outrageous.
Xu Xiangyang was cursing him to death in his heart, but he still had to put on a smile.
"What are you saying, Brother Hao? How could I say that?"
Wu Hao ignored him and someone patted him on the shoulder, but the person immediately swung their arm and shoved him away.
"Damn it! Who is it? Why are you dragging me into this!" he cursed, his tone very unpleasant.
Xu Xiangyang was sweating for him. This guy was really a brat, defying the government! He'd lost all sense of self after a few drinks.
Ma Xinping, his face dark, said to Wu Hao, "You shouldn't drive next time. What's wrong with having a few drinks? Did you drink them to the dog's belly?"
He was in a very bad mood. What happened this time? There's always something wrong!
When Wu Hao turned around and saw the person in front of him, he finally came to his senses. Seeing the person's unhappy expression, he broke out in a cold sweat.
How could he know that it was Ma Xinping who filmed him? If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to do it even if he had a hundred lives.
"No, Brother Ping! Listen to me." He wanted to explain something more, but he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Ma Xinping ignored him completely and turned away.
This made Wu Hao anxious. Since the other person wouldn't listen, he didn't dare to chase after them and keep arguing, for fear of provoking them.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Xiangyang had already made a hasty escape, accompanied by Cao Yajun.
The two of them took the bus back to the city. As for other things? That's none of their business.
Liu Feng, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing when he saw Wu Hao being scolded.
Although I didn't manage to get Xu Xiangyang today, getting Wu Hao was a pleasant surprise.
How much of a blow did their family suffer last time over something like this? Not only were they demoted, but his father was also warned.
If Wu Hao hadn't messed with him, this wouldn't have happened.
Thinking about his few thousand yuan, he felt a pang of sadness.
Wu Hao went to their house to apologize and gave them two thousand yuan. But he lost much more than two thousand, and he didn't dare to say it.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Wu Hao gritted his teeth and saw Liu Feng's gloating expression. He sneered.
That kid has no memory; it seems he wasn't taught a lesson last time.
He gave Liu Feng a deep look, his eyes full of calculation.
Liu Feng didn't see through his scheme at all, and thought he was being provoked, so he immediately laughed in defiance.
