Chapter 242 Waiting for Someone
In the days after the festival, the business of Haiqin Restaurant was almost like a replica.

Every day the place is packed with guests and business is booming.

It's simply jaw-dropping.

In the past few nights, Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin counted their sales every night, from the initial ecstasy, to the shock and confusion, to the numbness later.

They seem to have finally begun to accept the fact that their hotel has become popular for no apparent reason.

At noon that day, Zhang Zhaohai stood outside the restaurant door, looking at the crowded lobby, smoking cigarettes one by one.

"Is it really going to be popular?" he said to himself.

Two days ago, their family had just negotiated the shooting details with the director team of the documentary "The World Is Taste". The time has been set, and they are waiting to start shooting soon.

What he originally expected was that when the documentary was released in the future, he would take advantage of the east wind and create a lot of hype for his restaurant.

If you think about it, a restaurant that can be featured on the Penguin Video food show will be a topic. According to the local Yinghai people's tendency to join in the fun, the business will definitely skyrocket to 90,000 miles.

You just show off in the past openly and show off in the past. Even if others know that you are showing off, what will happen? The roar of the V12 engine is enough to cover up some gossip...
"Ah haha." Zhang Zhaohai rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then our family will drive three cars there!"

"Ah? Aren't you being too deliberate?" Zhang Zhaohai was stunned for a moment and said a little embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, he is her brother after all.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin stood outside the restaurant, enjoying the fresh air and chatting.

Although the relationship between the two families has not been good since the last incident, it does not mean that they have cut off contact. After all, they are Song Wenqin's biological brothers and sisters.

Zhang Zhaohai didn't take it seriously and just smiled to himself.

While I was smiling, I felt a pain in the soft flesh of my waist.

If you were to drive three ordinary cars there, it would certainly be very strange, very deliberate, and very pretentious. Others would be talking behind your back, saying, "What are you pretending to be?" The total price is not enough for a Mercedes-Benz, so what else can be installed?

"I believe you. By the way, we have dinner tonight, don't forget it." Song Wenqin suddenly thought of something and reminded her.

"Blessed by our ancestors!" He closed his eyes tightly and prayed a few words silently.

Although that face is on the verge of being torn apart, isn’t it that it’s not torn after all?
"As long as you haven't forgotten, it's just a meal." Song Wenqin looked at Zhang Zhaohai's expression and said with a smile, "Just don't take them to heart. Anyway, our family is cooking on the fire now, and they are too. I can only envy you."

Today is the birthday of his brother-in-law Song Wenbo's wife, his aunt Zhou Xiaona.

However, the filming hasn't started yet, so why did it get into this rhythm so early?

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the store took a breather.

He is a boss, and these days he is... to put it harshly, he is almost being used as an animal.

He smiled and put his arm around Song Wenqin's shoulders.

"Zhang Yang and I also said that we would go there together in the evening." Zhang Zhaohai thought for a while and asked, "Shall we drive a car?"

She is his son Zhang Yang's brother-in-law and aunt.

But what if it’s a combination of Cullinan, Bentley, and Maybach?

When the time comes, others may whisper behind your back.

Just like what Zhang Zhaohai said just now, the work on the scene must be passable.

"Sure enough, a man has to have a career to be energetic and look young."

"Brother Zhang, I really envy you and your sister-in-law. They still have such a good relationship after so many years." The owner of the cigarette shop next door came out and happened to see this scene and joked.

"No, I won't be so internal." Zhang Zhaohai smiled, "Don't worry, I won't talk less about the situation, and I won't make it difficult for you."

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin explained some things to the staff in the restaurant, and then went to the restaurant of their uncle Song Wenbo's house.

"As long as you understand what I mean." Song Wenqin let out a light breath.

The booming business has dwarfed the original number of chefs. In the past few days, whether it is chefs, waiters, or dishwashers in the kitchen, they have been urgently replenishing manpower.

Deliberately or not, that depends on the situation.

It seems that this family did it on purpose. One car was enough, but they had to drive three to show off.

"I was just purchasing goods and negotiating business. Don't accuse me wrongly." Zhang Zhaohai quickly raised his hands and swore.

"Stop smoking, don't you smell enough kitchen fumes?" Song Wenqin saw Zhang Zhaohai smoking vigorously, so she took off the cigarette butt and threw it away.

It's approaching evening.

"Of course that's good. Our relationship is as strong as ever." Zhang Zhaohai said proudly.

Smiling, he took a deep breath. His eyes were not muddy like a middle-aged man at all, but were extremely bright.

"Coming, coming!" Zhang Zhaohai responded, turning around and walking into the kitchen.

"You know, it's your sister-in-law's birthday?" Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile.

No matter how much she hated the couple, she didn't want to cause a sibling rift in front of her mother, causing the old man to worry for nothing.

"Lao Zhang, go help in the kitchen again. The new chef will arrive in the afternoon." Over at the bar, Song Wenqin began to greet again.

"How about three cars?" Song Wenqin suddenly asked with a smile, as if he could read Zhang Zhaohai's inner thoughts.

"Are you getting carried away?" Song Wenqin said amusedly, "If you continue to be so arrogant, come back and explain to me that you have been seeing Maybach going out to meet your old classmates recently."

"Stop pretending, don't you just want to show off? Just show off openly!" Song Wenqin said with a smile.

The two cars, the Bentley and the Maybach, drove side by side towards their destination.

Downstairs at the Four Seasons Hotel, Zhang Yang had just walked out of the hotel and went straight to his Cullinan.

After a while, I stepped on the accelerator lightly and headed straight for my destination with a roar.

·
Night falls in Wenbo Restaurant.

Three cars, one behind the other, parked close to each other in the parking lot in front of the restaurant.

The sky was dark and the autumn air was slightly cooler, so naturally there was no one outside at this point. After the family of three got off the bus, they talked and laughed and walked straight into the restaurant.

"Dad, how do you feel?" Zhang Yang asked half-jokingly.

"This..." Zhang Zhaohai looked at the restaurant in front of him where he had worked for a long time, smacking his lips with mixed feelings.

From living under someone else's roof, to now owning his own restaurant, and the business of his own restaurant is even more prosperous in any given day than the business of the restaurant in front of him on New Year's Eve. This feeling... is really elated...
If your life is unsatisfactory after you leave, your resentment will naturally accumulate, and you will only feel more self-pity. But now, my family is living such a prosperous life, and those unhappy pasts are just laughed at and let go.

Only now did he truly understand what it means for an adult to not remember the faults of a villain.

"It's all over." Zhang Zhaohai just said simply and plainly.

Walking in, a large family was gathered together in the private room on the second floor.

Grandma, several aunts and uncles, and only Li Kaiguang of the younger generation is here. After all, the others are going to school or working in other places. Even my little cousin Song Yumeng was not present at her biological mother's birthday because of her heavy studies.

"Third sister, third brother-in-law, you are here!" Song Wenbo stepped forward and spoke a little unnaturally.

"Yeah." Song Wenqin nodded lukewarmly.

Zhang Zhaohai, on the other hand, looked normal and took out his cigarette quite naturally and spread it around.

Of course, the cigarettes are good ones. He always smokes Golden Leaf Tianzhiye. There are thousands of packs. The first time he smoked it, he still had a little pain in his body. But gradually, it has become a normal thing in his life. .

Everyone's eyes were bright, and they happily accepted the cigarettes during the greetings.

When he handed it to Song Wenbo, he was stunned for a moment, took it and hung it behind his ear.

"Hello, uncle, aunt." Zhang Yang also nodded as a greeting.

Song Wenbo and his wife were a little dumbfounded when they first saw Zhang Yang.

With such graceful features and handsome features, he was as good as a dragon or a phoenix among men. As for the shadow of his past, it took a lot of effort to find even a trace of it.

"Zhang Yang, you are really..." Song Wenbo searched for a long time, but he was at a loss for words and couldn't find any words to describe it. In the end, he just said a dry sentence. "My character and appearance are becoming more and more outstanding."

"Zhang Yang, did our Song Yumeng go to your place to play during the summer vacation? I heard from her that you seem to have a girlfriend, why didn't you bring her back?" Zhou Xiaona, the aunt on the side, said suddenly.

"What else did Yu Meng say?" Zhang Yang asked with a wink.

"Isn't that all? What else is there?" Zhou Xiaona asked unclearly.

"It's really nothing. My girlfriend is busy in the magic city and hasn't come back." Zhang Yang explained briefly, knowing that his little cousin did as he said and didn't reveal too many details.

Including buying things for her.

He bought things for his little cousin, it was purely a brother-sister relationship, but he never expected his little aunt to be grateful to him.

Therefore, it is better to do less than to do more. It is better not to tell.

"It's true that you are celebrating the holidays and you don't know how to bring your girlfriend back to show it to everyone. My Yumeng praised your girlfriend a lot." Zhou Xiaona briefly greeted her, "In terms of age, the second It’s almost time to get married at the age of fifteen. Don’t just focus on your career. How big is your career? Are you really planning to buy a house in Shanghai?"

She was still stuck at the time when Zhang Yang came back in his Porsche. At this moment, he was acting like an elder.

Zhang Yang smiled, said nothing, and went straight to the table.

"Zhang Yang, come, sit here with me?" Li Kaiguang, my aunt's brother, motioned quickly.

"How have you been lately?" Zhang Yang sat down and casually chatted with Li Kaiguang. "The one on your WeChat...named Zhou Tian, ​​right? Are you still in touch?"

"That's fine." Li Kaiguang stroked his thick glasses. "Neither salty nor bland, I finally understand that mentality is the king. She hangs on me, and I hang on to her. I will never be humble."

"Very good." Zhang Yang nodded without making any comments.

"By the way, do you still remember Wang Luyao, Zhou Tian's best friend, who went to the nightclub with Zhou Tian last time?" Li Kaiguang asked, "I heard Zhou Tian say that after she broke up with her boyfriend, she has always been thinking about you."

"Remember." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Every time Zhou Tian takes the initiative to come to me, she always talks about her bestie. If you have nothing to do, you should take care of her." Li Kaiguang said with infinite emotion, "That's you. You can ignore such a girl."

"Don't talk nonsense, our friendship is pure, okay?" Zhang Yang chuckled and added in his heart.

The kind of friendship that comes with an occasional friendly match.

Sitting next to Li Kaiguang, Zhang Yangruo felt that he could never go back to the state of mind where the two brothers exchanged their experiences with great interest many years ago.

The level is different, and those topics that were once exciting have long since lost his interest.

Just like Li Kaiguang excitedly said which of his colleagues in the company were goddesses and beautiful ones, Zhang Yang went over to take a look, but the actual beauty was just that of the female employees who could be seen everywhere in his hotel industry.

Just like the crucian carp crossing the river, there are as many as you want.

"Who are you waiting for?" Zhang Yang looked around and felt that almost everyone was here.

Relatives on my own side, as well as my aunt Zhou Xiaona’s parents.

"I heard that he is a distant brother of my aunt's family. He has been doing business in other places all year round and is very powerful." Li Kaiguang lowered his voice and explained, "It seems that he recently had business in Yinghai, so he came back. This is my aunt's birthday. , specially invited him.”

"Oh." Zhang Yang nodded, not worried.

In the box, he and Li Kaiguang were chatting.

Not far away, the elders were also chatting, and the topics occasionally revolved around Zhang Zhaohai and his wife. After all, everyone knows that their family now owns a restaurant, and I heard that the business is pretty good.

"Working in a restaurant and being a chef are two different things," Zhou Xiaona said sourly.

"Take your time." Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile while drinking tea.

Facing the face of the past again, I really didn't have any trouble in my heart. In terms of self-cultivation, I don't know how much higher than the person in front of me.

"Take your time? As long as the business doesn't grow for a day, water, electricity, labor, etc., all of which don't require money, how can you have the opportunity to take your time?" Zhou Xiaona muttered.

Song Wenbo was nearby and gently pulled Zhou Xiaona's sleeve, but Zhou Xiaona broke away impatiently and glared at him.

Beside, Zhou Xiaona's parents coughed twice.

"Xiao Na, call your brother Wencheng and see where he is? It's getting late." Zhou Xiaona's mother, who was chatting with Grandma Zhang Yang, reminded her.

"How can this be rushed, Mom, you don't know how busy people are with their careers, please understand." Zhou Xiaona said, raised her eyes with a smile, and greeted everyone, "Hey guys, wait a little longer, hurry up." Yes, people are almost here."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that it was already approaching seven o'clock, they all hesitated to speak.

Besides, you didn’t even call to ask, how did you know it was coming soon?
"Come on, let's play cards, wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Song Wenbo stood up to smooth things over and invited several uncles to play cards together.

No one was interested in playing cards.

After all, it's time and everyone is hungry. Usually at this time, we would have finished dinner early and gone for a walk. Today, we haven't even used our chopsticks yet.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's have some tea. There's no rush. The cards won't be played." It was the uncle who stood up and said something.
