Chapter 136 Learned a trick from Brother Long
I called Teacher He. As soon as she heard there was hope, she said, "Come right away. I'm not far from the Fengye Hotel."
About half an hour later, Mr. He arrived. I introduced him as "Brother Long, the general manager of Fengye Hotel."
Teacher He was indeed a person who was oblivious to the world outside. He knew nothing about the famous Brother Long and smiled shyly: "Hello, Mr. Long."
Brother Long puffed on a cigarette and instructed, "Wait a minute, call Fatty Qiao. I'll teach you what to say on the phone. The key to your case is that the other party didn't write a note. If he denies it, it will be troublesome. So, you must make up nonsense. You only gave him 50,000 yuan, and as soon as you say you gave him 100,000 yuan, he will definitely want to explain himself. Do you understand?"
Teacher He nodded.
"This is even more shameless than a scoundrel. Only a scoundrel will admit his mistake. Brother Long pointed at the landline and said, 'Use this to call him.'"
Teacher He dialed the other party, and Brother Long pressed the speaker to start recording.
Teacher He said, "Fat Brother, I'm asking you to take care of my transfer. It's been over two years and I haven't been able to do it. I need the 100,000 yuan I gave you urgently, so I'm here to ask for it now. Please prepare it for me."
"One hundred thousand?"
"Yes, I gave you 100,000 yuan at that time, but you didn't write a note."
"Teacher He, you're a teacher, how could you be so heartless? Even though there's no note, it's not 100,000 yuan, it's 50,000 yuan.
Teacher He said, "Yes. I remembered it wrong. It was fifty thousand."
Brother Long picked up the phone and said, "I just need a few words."
At this time, the woman making tea came in and said, "Boss Long, 5288, everything has been arranged for you. You've been talking so much, I can't come in and rush you."
Brother Long said to Teacher He, "Don't worry about the money. Come to my place and have some vegetable rice."
Teacher He pointed at his nose and asked, "Me?"
Mr. Long frowned and said, "Don't you want to show me your favor?"
Teacher He quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry to ask you to do something for me and also ask you to treat me."
I stood up and winked at Teacher He. "You don't know Mr. Long very well. This hotel is his. If we don't eat the capitalists, who will we eat?"
Teacher He had never seen the world before, and looked embarrassed. After a long while, he blurted out, "Okay, I'm just too embarrassed. I'll treat you well next time."
Brother Long laughed. "Teacher He, let me be clear. There will be ten tough guys in that box later. Don't be afraid. I'm not using them to deal with you. I'm using them to deal with a certain comrade. I heard he can hear words. My brothers have been wanting to see him for a long time."
Teacher He was an outsider and had no idea what we were talking about. He just felt a little uneasy and looked at Brother Long and then at me.
"Let's go, Teacher He. Today I am Liu Bang, attending Xiang Yu's Hongmen Banquet."
Teacher He looked confused and just said, "You guys are so funny."
Arriving at 5288, the waiter ran over and opened the door, saying, "Welcome," with a smile in his eyes and a nod. Although it was a professional smile, it really made people feel warm.
Brother Long tugged at the hem of his clothes and coughed. Suddenly, a row of people in black suits stood up.
Teacher He was so scared that he stopped in his tracks.
Brother Long stood at the door, his face fierce as he said, "This is Mr. Shanhong, my master's most accomplished disciple." The men in suits shouted, "Welcome, Mr. Shanhong."
Brother Long continued, "What about this one? The human soul engineer, Teacher He."
The men in suits shouted, "Welcome, Teacher He."
This private room is quite large, with a partition in the middle, which can be used as two luxury halls. Today the boss is treating us to a meal, so the partition was removed, making it look very spacious.
A large chandelier in the hall emits a warm and elegant orange glow. The surroundings are typical Chinese style, with white walls, red pillars, carved furniture, and mahogany sofas, all of which are magnificent.
We sat down on a row of plush, spacious sofas. His henchmen sat opposite us. Several waiters were busy running around.
Brother Long was the host, a bit like a prince, no, more precisely, a bit like an emperor. He was the emperor of this little piece of land. He crossed his legs and took out a cigar. The waiter came over and lit it for him. After taking a puff, he introduced it to Teacher He, saying that this hall was rarely used.
Teacher He asked, "Why leave such a nice hall empty? For a large family gathering, if you have the money, a hall like this is the best choice. It will impress the guests, and you'll also increase utilization."
Brother Long gently waved his fat hand: "A hall like this should be used where it's needed most. It's better to leave it empty."
Afraid Teacher He would ask more, I whispered in her ear, "Some leaders only like a certain hall. If a leader suddenly says they want to treat you and your hall is occupied, they'll be unhappy. Even if you specifically invite them next time, they won't come."
Teacher He said softly, "It's different? It's just a meal, and there are other halls that are also high-end."
I shook my head: "You didn't look carefully. The number of this hall is 5288, but its name is 'Taishan Hall'."
"Tarzan? This is very important?"
"It's extremely important. If it were Lushan Hall, he wouldn't go there."
Teacher He looked confused.
I won't explain any more. It seems that Teacher He is indeed a man of study.
Teacher He asked again: "Why do you need so many waiters?"
"Your teacher He is here, can we not be serious about it?"
"Just laugh at me."
At this moment, a good-looking waiter bowed and said something to Brother Long. Brother Long stood up and walked towards the main guest seat in the center. The waiter guided Teacher He and me to sit on Brother Long's left and right.
Teacher He was probably a little uncomfortable with this scene surrounded by strangers, so he insisted on sitting with me.
After we sat down, everyone found their own seats and sat down.
Brother Long cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Shanhong is the only authentic disciple of Master Hongyi. As for me, I just call him Master in words. Today, the authentic disciple of the Master is visiting Fengye. Let's applaud and welcome him."
There was applause everywhere, and even the waiters next to them were all smiling.
Brother Long introduced everyone present one by one, but there were so many that it was impossible to remember them all. As Brother Long introduced someone, they stood up and made their appearance. I simply nodded slightly.
It's not that I'm arrogant. We must remain arrogant towards this group of people. They are murderous people, and we just need to suppress their murderous aura. Even though they are humble now and stand up on their own initiative, when Brother Long is not here, they are more domineering than the other.
At this time, the food and wine were served. Brother Long said, "Today, we're not drinking white wine, we're drinking red wine. Since there are ladies here, we should respect them, right?"
A group of people howled: "Yes——"
The waiter poured wine for everyone.
Brother Long raised his glass: "First, let's toast to Mr. Shanhong and Teacher He."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the whole thing in one gulp.
Teacher He said softly, "I can't drink so fast."
I took care of her and said, "As you please."
After finishing the first cup, Brother Long waved his hand and said, "Brothers, eating is not the purpose. My junior brother is a genius, a strange man, a master. Let me tell you a few stories about Mr. Shanhong."
I admire Brother Long's ability to talk big. He even talked about the adjustment of the fish farm and the change of the size of the teahouse's door. He talked about it in a magical way, making all his subordinates, including the waiter standing next to him, feel like they were listening to him talking about Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
After the speech, he received warm applause.
Brother Long is such a good person. When he praises his friends, he actually praises himself. Teacher He, who was always a stranger to me, actually took on the role of waiter from time to time, helping me scoop soup and handing me towels.
At this time, Brother Long burst out laughing: "Of course, these are all child's play. Mr. Shanhong can also listen to words with his ears. Do you want to see it?"
The men in suits cheered in unison, "Really? That's something to behold, he's truly an extraordinary person."
Even the waiter forgot to pour the wine. Teacher He stared at me and asked anxiously, "Really?"
Brother Long said, "But first, let's drink. After everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, we'll let Mr. Shanhong show off his skills."
Everyone cheered. Brother Long said there would be something to do after dinner, so drinking wasn't the main focus during the meal. However, the atmosphere was quite lively.
The meal was drawing to a close. The men began to smoke. Teacher He, a small eater, had already eaten his fill, but he just went along with the occasion, occasionally taking a sip of the soup in his bowl to avoid appearing impolite by putting down his chopsticks early.
At this time, Brother Long turned sideways from Teacher He and asked me:
"Brother, can you give me some face? Give me a hand?"
This is not a problem for me, it's a piece of cake, but I smiled modestly and said:
"Since Brother Long has said so, I have no choice but to perform my ugly act."
