After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing what Tang Xiaohu said, Xu Boan thought about it and nodded slowly. He said, "Now that you mention it, I really remember this incident. I was just driving at the time and didn't pay much attention to the situation on the mountain road. But I do remember that convoy, with all kinds of luxury cars!"

Tang Xiaohu asked, "Then...Brother, do you think we should contact Mr. Qu?"

Xu Boan shook his head and said, "For now, let's not talk! I'm very busy recently!"

Tang Xiaohu was still very surprised by Xu Boan's answer.

Tang Xiaohu has been a die-hard fan of Xu Bo'an for many years. In his memory, Xu Bo'an is a man who is good at networking and has good interpersonal skills.

Therefore, Xu Boan, who had no background at all, was able to thrive in the workplace. No matter on the project or within the company, or on the supervision unit or even the owner unit, the clients all praised Xu Boan and were very satisfied with him. He was like a fish in water.

Even if He Qiang, the general manager of Dongjiang Second Construction, personally suppressed Xu Bo'an because of interest issues, he had to demote him in the name of promotion. If it were an ordinary person, there would be plenty of ways to deal with you.

And you will be promoted? Haha, just dream about your life under the eight-layer cotton quilt!

This is like many emperors in ancient times who clearly held the power of life and death over the world and had the final say, and even had the principle that "if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects must die." However, even though they were really dissatisfied with some ministers, they could not take action against them.

This is the subtlety of how to deal with people.

Maybe you don’t hold a high position in the government, maybe you don’t have all the power in the world, but as long as you have a set of mysterious social relationships, you are a capable person in the true sense!

In Tang Xiaohu's eyes, Xu Boan is such a capable person!

That's why Tang Xiaohu told Xu Bo'an about Qu Feifan. After all, Qu Feifan's status and position are there. Anyone who sees it will find that most people would attach great importance to such resources and connections, let alone the versatile Xu Bo'an.

So Tang Xiaohu was surprised to hear Xu Boan's perfunctory attitude.

Tang Xiaohu even thought that he had heard it wrong, or that he had not introduced it clearly.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohu emphasized again and said, "Brother, what I meant is that Mr. Qu contacted me and said he wanted to meet you. I haven't told you yet, so I thought we should contact him after you agree."

Xu Boan said with a smile: "You are quite smart, you didn't reveal it. Since you didn't reveal it, don't bother with him for now. I have been very busy recently and don't have time to deal with these people from all walks of life."

After hearing what Xu Boan said, Tang Xiaohu said nothing more.

After all, Xu Boan had already clearly refused, so it would be a bit tactless for me to bring it up again.

Although I don't know what Xu Boan is busy with, everyone has their own privacy. Besides, Xu Boan has already said that he wants to withdraw from Dongjiang Erjian. Maybe he wants to quit this industry, or he has found a better way out. I really don't need to interfere too much with other people's freedom, let alone his good brother.

Tang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Brother, I understand. Although I don't know what your next plan is, no matter what you do, I will support you. If you need anything, just ask!"

Xu Boan smiled and patted Tang Xiaohu, handed him the key of the Pajero, and said with a smile: "Don't be sentimental here, I won't be polite with you. Here, the car key is for you, let's eat something first, then go home and head straight to Dongjiang."

Tang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Okay, but brother, I've already eaten a little. I've booked a room upstairs. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while? I'll have them bring the food up when it's ready."

Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said, "No need, just eat a bowl of noodles in the hall to fill my stomach. I'm not tired or sleepy. Let's go back to Dongjiang early. I have to talk to Mr. Su."

Su Tai had previously taken the initiative to show goodwill to Xu Boan, told him about the great changes in the group, and also chose two good paths for him. This was a favor, and Xu Boan was a grateful person. It would be unreasonable for him not to find Su Tai to report his thoughts after returning.

Tang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Okay brother, I got it. Let's go in and sit down first."

As they were talking, the two entered the hotel lobby.

It was dinner time and the hotel was doing pretty good business, almost full.

Xu Bo'an and his friends were also lucky enough to occupy the last empty table.

The two of them had just sat down in the lobby when they saw a large family coming in outside, but they were also waiting in line for a seat.

And almost at the same time, the elevator door opened, and another group of guests came down from the guest rooms upstairs and headed straight for the restaurant, but they could only queue up according to their numbers helplessly.

Tang Xiaohu obviously noticed this scene, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother, sometimes I feel that I have a fortune-making physique. Many times the business here doesn't seem so good, but when I come, many customers will come in an instant."

Xu Boan joked, "If you are really that powerful, your father-in-law will have to tie you up and take you to his hotel as a mascot. You will save a lot of money compared to that lucky cat."

Tang Xiaohu chuckled, and after the two of them sat down chatting and laughing, a hotel staff came over.

"Hello, sir! This is our menu. Please see what you two would like to order!"

As he spoke, he handed the tablet computer in his hand to Tang Xiaohu.

Nowadays, many hotels and restaurants are using this kind of high-tech gadgets. Paper menus are no longer needed, and they are directly used on tablets, which is quite convenient.

Xu Boan waved his hand and asked, "Don't bother with that. Let's not order any other dishes. Do you have noodles here? Just a bowl of clear soup noodles will be fine! I'm going to the bathroom first!"

As he spoke, Xu Bo'an stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

"Okay brother, the bathroom is over there!" Tang Xiaohu stood up to help Xu Boan point the direction, then sat down again.

Tang Xiaohu had already taken the tablet computer, but after hearing what Xu Bo'an said, he handed the computer back to the waiter and said, "Just do as my brother said. Have a bowl of clear soup noodles."

The waiter was stunned, showing a slightly disgusted expression, and asked in surprise: "Two people? You want one bowl of noodles?" Tang Xiaohu said indifferently: "I just ate, I'm not hungry, just one bowl for my friend."

The waiter glanced at the customers queuing outside and said impatiently, "Excuse me, sir, we don't have clear soup noodles here! There is a small noodle shop about 300 meters ahead, why don't you go there and ask!"

Tang Xiaohu said with an unpleasant expression: "Are you kidding me? If I heard correctly, you are chasing us away?"

The waiter said calmly, "No, absolutely not. Please don't misunderstand me. You guys wanted to eat noodles, but we don't have any here. I'm recommending you a place with good quality and cheap noodles. I often go there to eat noodles after work. It's economical and big. One bowl is enough for the two of you."

Tang Xiaohu said coldly, "I looked at your menu two hours ago. There were more than just clear soup noodles on it. There were also ramen and gravy noodles. How come they are gone now? This is a restaurant, right? It's time to eat now, right?"

The waiter held the tablet computer for ordering and said calmly, "Sir, I'm just thinking about you. Our prices are still very high. It's really not worth it for you to come here to eat noodles."

Tang Xiaohu pointed to a waiter next to him, who was bringing two bowls of clear soup noodles on a tray to the next table.

"Miss, please be realistic when you tell a lie. If I'm not mistaken, the customer over there wants the clear soup noodles we want!"

The waiter said without any regret, "Yes, I'll tell you the truth. We don't allow the sale of staple foods like rice and noodles. If you are not starving, I suggest you choose a noodle shop with good quality and low price."

Tang Xiaohu got angry when he heard this and said, "Didn't you just say you didn't have noodles? Why are you changing your mind so quickly? And what do you mean noodles are not sold separately? It's understandable that white rice is not sold separately, but noodles can't be sold? We are here to consume, and you still limit our minimum consumption?"

The waiter shrugged and said, "It's not my restriction. It can't be helped. We have to pay for rent, electricity, water, and labor here. If everyone orders a bowl of noodles like you and takes up our table, what will the little profit do? How can we do business? We are in business, not charity."

Tang Xiaohu said grimly, "What did you say? I'm going to record it on my phone now. Say it again if you dare!"

When the waiter saw Tang Xiaohu was angry, he shuddered in his heart, forced out a smile awkwardly, and said, "Sir, let's understand each other!"

Tang Xiaohu said sternly: "I understand you? I understand you bullying me, right? How can you do this when you open a business?"

At this moment, Xu Boan came back from the bathroom, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Tang Xiaohu said unhappily, "I'm sorry, brother. I haven't even settled this little thing. This guy first said that we were out of noodles, and then he said that they don't sell noodles separately. In fact, it's because he saw that our consumption was low, so he wanted them to leave quickly to make room for the customers behind!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bo'an waved his hands expressionlessly and said, "Forget it, do you have instant noodles? Give me one serving of instant noodles."

This hotel itself has guest rooms open to the public, and of course they have instant noodles.

Who would have thought that the waiter, either in a bad mood or out of contempt, still refused and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We don't sell instant noodles to the public in the catering department. If you want to eat instant noodles, you need to go to the front desk to book a room and then enjoy the instant noodles in the room. Of course, you can also go to the small supermarket outside to buy them. There is also a service of adding boiled water there."

Tang Xiaohu was delighted when he heard this and said, "I actually booked an hourly room upstairs. Now, I ask you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the waiter, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't provide instant noodles. If you need them, you can go to your room and make them yourself."

Seeing that Tang Xiaohu was about to get angry again, Xu Boan gently pulled Tang Xiaohu, and Tang Xiaohu swallowed his saliva and said nothing more.

Xu Bo'an, however, had a smiling face and said calmly, "Well, how about this? How much do you want to order for a bowl of clear noodle soup? I'll pay for it all and you just serve me a bowl of noodles. Is that okay?"

The waiter was delighted when he heard this and nodded immediately, saying, "It should be possible. We have never sold it this way before, but since you consider us so highly, I will go and tell our leader and agree to it. By the way, our cheapest meal with noodles is 168 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"

Xu Bo'an didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded, and the waiter went over happily.

Tang Xiaohu said unconvincedly: "Brother, you are really good-tempered. She is clearly..."

Xu Boan waved his hands and said, "Forgive others when you can. Don't get angry. It will only hurt you if you get angry."

Tang Xiaohu thought to himself that it was no wonder that Brother Xu had such a bright future. Look at his generosity and awareness. He was not comparable to them at all. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohu said nothing more.

Soon, a bowl of noodles came up.

It is a well-known fact that the portions of noodles in hotels are generally not as large as those in noodle shops.

Fortunately, Xu Boan was not very hungry. Although the airplane meal was not to his taste, Xu Boan still took a few bites.

Seeing the bowl of noodles, Xu Boan picked up the bowl and finished it with the soup in no time.

"Not bad, this bowl of noodles is really delicious!" Xu Bo'an burped and waved to the waiter beside him, "Waiter, come and pay the bill."

The waiter came over happily and said, "Hello, sir. Your total consumption is 168 yuan. Would you like to pay by scanning the code or in cash?"

Xu Bo'an wiped his mouth with a napkin and said with a surprised expression, "What? 168 yuan? For a bowl of noodles, did I hear it right?"

The waiter was stunned and said in a reminder tone: "Sir, didn't you just say that I only need to serve you a bowl of noodles?"

Xu Bo'an nodded and said seriously, "That's right, I only want a bowl of noodles, and you also ordered a bowl of noodles, but your bowl of noodles is 168 yuan, isn't it a bit too expensive?"

The waiter stammered, "No... that's not it. This is... the price we agreed on just now. You said you would pay 168 yuan for the set meal, and we only need to serve you a bowl of noodles."

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "That's not right. I'm not a fool. How could I pay for dishes I haven't eaten for just a bowl of noodles? This doesn't make sense."

Hearing Xu Bo'an say this, the waiter was completely dumbfounded. (End of this chapter)
