Long Yan took Su Mingzhe, Zhou Yi and others to a private restaurant called "Huajianyan".
Huajianyan is located in the heart of the port city. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and it is a nice place to be in a peaceful place amidst the hustle and bustle.
The boss must have known Long Yan, and he respectfully took Long Yan and others to a garden room in the yard.
After asking everyone about their tastes and what kind of tea they wanted, I left the private room.
"You can't order dishes on your own here. You just tell the chef your taste and he will prepare dishes based on your taste," Long Yan said with a smile.
Zhou Yi was slightly shocked after hearing this. In this era, this kind of private restaurant model is very novel. You know, even in modern times, there are not many private restaurants that can achieve this level.
"Brother Long, does your Long family have a part in this Flower Banquet?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile.
Long Yan smiled and replied, "People always say you're smart, Xiaoyi. This Flower Banquet was organized by my mother and an old friend. It's mainly to provide everyone with a comfortable place to chat."
"This business model is very novel and high-end, and it fits in well with the Long family's business school." Zhou Yi smiled meaningfully.
"When we opened this Huajianyan, it was mainly because my mother and her old friend wanted to open such a store, but we didn't think too much about it." Long Yan glanced at Su Mingzhe when he said this.
Zhou Yi saw some gossip in Long Yan's eyes, and her round eyes instantly became curious.
"Brother Long, is it possible that this old friend of your mother has some connection with my father?" Zhou Yi looked back and forth between Long Yan and Su Mingzhe, full of curiosity.
"You'll know this soon." Long Yan kept the question in suspense and didn't say it directly.
After a while, the small bamboo door of the garden room opened, and a young woman came in carrying tea sets and materials. She looked like a professional tea artist.
The tea artist nodded to those present and walked towards the tea table.
"This is the disciple accepted by my mother's old friend. He is quite good at tea ceremony." Long Yan explained to Zhou Yi and the others with a smile.
The tea artist was already preparing to brew tea on the tea table. Su Mingzhe was slightly dazed as he watched the tea artist's movements and procedures.
It was as if I saw the graceful woman from more than ten years ago.
Looking at Su Mingzhe's expression, Long Yan knew that he had figured out who his mother's old friend was.
In fact, when Su Mingzhe heard that it was an old friend of Longyan's mother, he had some guesses in his mind. Now that he saw this tea artist, he already knew who the old friend Longyan was talking about was.
"Brother Long, your mother's old friend must be a wonderful person." Zhou Yi saw everything and said with a smile.
"He is indeed a wonderful person, but also a miserable person." Long Yan looked at Su Mingzhe again.
At this moment, the tea artist had already brewed tea and served it to them.
Su Mingzhe looked at the teacup in front of him and hesitated to pick it up. From the color and aroma of the tea, he was even more certain that it was her.
"Pang Rou." Su Mingzhe's eyes looked a little strange, and he murmured softly to himself.
"Uncle Su, it seems you have guessed that this person is Sister Rou." Others did not hear Su Mingzhe's mumbling, but Long Yan heard it. Even if he didn't hear it, he could tell from his lip shape.
Su Mingzhe didn't say anything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was indeed the taste of her tea.
"Dad, Brother Long, what are you guys playing?" Zhou Yi became even more curious.
Su Mingzhe put down his teacup, glanced at Zhou Yi, then turned to look at He Zhan, and said softly, "Yier, Azhan, don't let your mother know what's going to happen when we return to Jinghai."
When Zhou Yi and He Zhan heard this, they looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat. No way?
The two looked at Su Mingzhe with strange eyes, thinking the same question in their minds: Could it be that Dad/Dad did something to offend Master's Wife/Mom?
"What are you thinking about? Things are not what you think." Su Mingzhe said helplessly, and then signaled Longyan to let the tea artist go out first.
After the tea artist left, Su Mingzhe told them about the Pang family and Pang Rou.
It turns out that Pang Rou and Su Mingzhe grew up together, and can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
Pang Rou was extremely outstanding in both appearance and talent in Jinghai back then, and was one in a million.
Of course, Su Mingzhe was also a prominent figure in Jinghai back then. Not only was he talented in both civil and military affairs, he was also handsome and had countless women who were attracted to him.
Pang Rou has been like Su Mingzhe's follower and little fan since she was a child. When she was in her prime, she fell in love with Su Mingzhe and confessed her love to him, saying that she would not marry anyone else.
However, Su Mingzhe always regarded Pang Rou as a younger sister and had no romantic feelings for her. Later, he met Qin Qin and fell in love with her at first sight.
After Pang Rou found out, she couldn't accept the fact that her childhood sweetheart, Brother Zhe, didn't love her. She was so heartbroken that she left Jinghai and went to the capital alone.
The two old men from the Pang and Su families are close friends and their relationship has always been like that of brothers.
However, as the two companies developed, although they appeared friendly on the surface, their concepts, development directions, and methods were completely different.
A subsequent incident pushed the two families into opposition.
In that incident, Pang Long, the eldest son and grandson of the Pang family and Pang Rou's brother, lost his life. Also lost was Wang Kangguo, the eldest son of the Wang family and Wang Kanghua's brother and Wang Yingzhi's uncle.
The old man of the Pang family and the old man of the Wang family blamed the Su family for this matter back then, but due to the strength of the Su family, they did not take action against the Su family openly.
But the Su and Pang families became strangers from then on.
After two or three years, the old man of the Su family, Su Wenzhi, died in Feng County.
In the same year, the Pang family moved from Jinghai to the capital, and since then, the Su and Pang families have had no contact.
Naturally, Su Mingzhe never saw Pang Rou again after that.
After listening to this, Zhou Yi was deeply moved. He didn't expect that his father's years were so wonderful.
"In other words, it was Pang Rou from the Pang family who cooperated with Brother Long to open this Huajian Banquet?" Zhou Yi asked Long Yan with a complicated look.
She did not deny that Pang Rou was indeed a wonderful person, but after listening to what Su Mingzhe said, she had even more guesses about the person behind this.
Even if it has nothing to do with Pang Rou, it must be related to the Wang family or the Pang family.
"Indeed, Huajianyan was opened by my mother and Sister Rou together, but Sister Rou has not been in contact with the Pang family over the years. It can be said that she is half-detached from the Pang family." Long Yan said quickly.
Long Yan knew that the Su family had basically stopped developing since the death of Old Man Su and the disappearance of Zhou Yi, and it could even be said that its status had declined a lot.
This must be related to the Pang and Wang families, but he knew very well that Sister Rou had never returned to the Pang family in all these years.
Even after the Pang family moved to the capital to develop, she left without saying a word.
"Dad, let's go." He Zhan, who had been silent all the time, stood up and said expressionlessly.
