Chapter 287 Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong Treat
Liu Haizhong was skeptical and asked Xu Damao to go to Li Shengli to ask, so Xu Damao went to Li Shengli's house.
Li Shengli is now the same as other workers in the factory. He has started to go to get off work and leave work at fixed times. Li Shengli is at home now.
"Li Shengli, open the door." Xu Damao came to the door of Li Shengli's house, clenched his fists and knocked on the door of Li Shengli's house arrogantly.
"Come here, stop knocking." Li Shengli recognized the voice at the door as Xu Damao's, and was wondering why Xu Damao was looking for him for no reason.
"Xu Damao, what's the matter?" Li Shengli frowned and looked at Xu Damao, who was still wearing a suit in the courtyard.
I never get involved in the affairs of the compound. Does Xu Damao want to be scolded by coming to me now?
"Don't say that I don't take care of your business. I have a big business to discuss with you." Xu Damao pointed at himself with his thumb in a somewhat arrogant manner to show that he was not short of money.
"Oh? Xu Damao, you've made a fortune." There's no reason not to do business that comes to your doorstep. "Xu Damao, you know that my restaurant is doing very well. How are you going to take care of my business?"
To be honest, Lee Seung-ri likes customers like Xu Damao who are both face-conscious and rich.
This kind of private dining is the most popular among restaurants. You don’t have to worry about ordering dishes, and there are more than a dozen tables with the same dishes, which saves the kitchen a lot of effort.
"Oh, that's great, Lee Seung-ri, it seems you have made a lot of money recently." Xu Damao raised his eyebrows, it seems that Lee Seung-ri has made a lot of money recently.
"Small business, small business." The key to doing business is to make money through harmony. Although Xu Damao is not a very good person, it would be a waste not to make money from the money given for free.
"Xu Damao, the banquets in our restaurant are divided into different sizes. Which level do you, Boss Xu, want?" Li Shengli's words were slightly flattering. Xu Damao was very proud, and Li Shengli was ready to put him on the spot. Xu Damao was not a good person, and it would be a waste if he didn't cheat him of his money.
"What do you mean by different scales?" Xu Damao really didn't know what the special features of Li Shengli's restaurant were. Since Li Shengli's restaurant opened, no one in the entire compound had been there, and Li Shengli didn't invite them when he opened the restaurant.
"This is very simple. Our restaurant starts from the lowest price of 88 per table, the higher price of 108 per table, and the highest price of 168 per table..." Li Shengli did not continue speaking, but just looked at Xu Damao, meaning, do you want to hear what comes next?
It's not that Lee Seung-ri looks down on Xu Damao and thinks that Xu Damao has no money, but Lee Seung-ri understands Xu Damao's character, and he wants to know whether Xu Damao will be provoked by him to spend a lot of money to book several high-end banquets.
"No, Li Shengli, what do you mean? Why are you afraid that I can't afford it?" Xu Damao glared at Li Shengli fiercely.
Li Shengli just stood at the door without saying a word, with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking at Xu Damao who seemed somewhat helpless and furious in front of him with a calm look.
With Xu Damao's timid character, even if he had money, he would not dare to confront himself and Sha Zhu head-on. Xu Damao would only do some small tricks behind the scenes.
"Hey, I almost fell for your trick." Xu Damao was quite smart. He immediately remembered that this restaurant belonged to Lee Seung-ri. If he ordered the most expensive banquet, he would be giving him money.
Xu Damao looked as if he saw through him, but Li Shengli looked at him calmly. He was just provoking him casually. Li Shengli didn't care whether Xu Damao was provoked or not. His restaurant didn't need Xu Damao's order.
"So Xu Damao, what kind of banquet do you want to order?" Li Shengli looked at Xu Damao unhappily, this guy was just wasting his time. "Li Shengli, I have plenty of money. If you serve us the food yourself, I can consider ordering the highest-end banquet." Xu Damao stood up straight and pointed at himself with his thumb, looking very proud. His look made Li Shengli want to slap him twice.
"Xu Damao, what are you dreaming about?" Li Shengli almost wrote the words "you are not worthy" on his face, "You can order it if you want, or not."
As the two were talking, Liu Haizhong came over from the backyard. He saw that Xu Damao had not returned for so long and wondered whether Xu Damao and Li Shengli had discussed it, so he decided to go to the front yard to take a look. And if a location had been decided, he would tell other people in the compound, so he came to the front yard in a neat suit.
"What are you talking about? Xu Damao, haven't you discussed it with Li Shengli yet?" Liu Haizhong, with a big belly, swayed over to Li Shengli and Xu Damao, imitating the way those leading cadres did. Li Shengli looked at him and thought he looked very funny.
"Second uncle, isn't this what I was just about to discuss with you?" Xu Damao's gloomy face suddenly turned as red as a dog's tail flower.
The reason why Xu Damao asked Liu Haizhong to do this together was because they both wanted to show off to the same person. The total price of so many tables was not a small amount, so if one more person took on the responsibility, he would have to pay less.
"What's going on?" Liu Haizhong cast his questioning look at Li Shengli again.
Li Shengli then told Liu Haizhong about the banquets of different sizes in his restaurant. Liu Haizhong was much more generous than Xu Damao. After roughly asking Li Shengli how many dishes were included and what kind of drinks were available, he directly ordered a table of food for 128 yuan, for a total of ten tables.
"Master Liu is straightforward and generous, unlike some people..." Li Shengli said as he deliberately glanced at Xu Damao.
Li Shengli's demeanor and meaningful tone of voice made Xu Damao very angry.
After listening to what Li Shengli said, Liu Haizhong was still a little unhappy with Li Shengli's tone, but Liu Haizhong also knew that Li Shengli had opened a big restaurant and had a lot of money. Although he was not as rich as himself, he was much better than other people in the hospital.
"Master Liu, if you have confirmed the time, please go to the store to pay the deposit. Then you can take the receipt to the restaurant." Li Shengli rubbed his fingers and motioned for them to go to the store to pay the deposit. This was not a small order. If something went wrong, the profit for the day would be gone.
"Xu Damao, please go and invite the people in this yard." Liu Haizhong instructed Xu Damao as if he were a boss instructing his subordinates.
"No, Second Uncle, you want me to show off in such a thing?" Xu Damao was not happy. How could he let Liu Haizhong go alone with such a good opportunity to show off, not to mention that his mortal enemy Sha Zhu was also there.
Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that Xu Damao had paid half of the money, so it would not be good if he was not allowed to show off.
"Okay, let's go together. You can go to the restaurant after we've finished discussing it." Liu Haizhong waved his hand and agreed to Xu Damao's request.
The two men began to invite other people to the courtyard. Liu Haizhong had been the second uncle in the courtyard for such a long time, so he still had some face. Xu Damao mocked him in front of Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu originally didn't plan to go, but Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi disagreed. They saw that Xu Damao was so rich now and the relationship between the two families had improved again.
Sha Zhu was disappointed when he saw the reactions of Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu. These two people knew that he and Xu Damao had a bad relationship but still wanted to get close to him.
