Chapter 104: Zhengyangmen Tavern, Controlling Fan Jinyou
It's such a relationship...

What’s the relationship!

The way this sister speaks can easily be misunderstood!
Seeing that Wang Weiguo stopped talking, Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "Why? I, Chen Xueru, am a well-known figure on this street. Am I not worthy of you calling me sister?"

"That's not the case."

Wang Weiguo shook his head and said, "Since Manager Chen said so, I will call you Sister Xueru!"

No matter what, you will never lose out if you have a good relationship with Chen Xueru.

Besides, now that things have been said to this, if Wang Weiguo still makes excuses and can't give any reason, it will be obvious that he is against Chen Xueru.

Wang Weiguo couldn't do that since he had just benefited from Chen Xueru.

Although these benefits were earned by Wang Weiguo with his own abilities and labor, this design drawing might be just a piece of waste paper if it were taken to other places.

If Chen Xueru had not taken the initiative to ask him to cooperate and pay her, Wang Weiguo would not have gotten any benefits.

"now it's right."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she immediately smiled and asked, "My dear brother, I don't know your name yet?"

"Wang Weiguo is currently just an apprentice in the kitchen of Fengze Garden."

Wang Weiguo smiled and took the initiative to reveal his identity.

"Little apprentice? You don't look like one!"

Chen Xueru was very surprised to hear Wang Weiguo say this and couldn't help but look at Wang Weiguo twice.

The main reason was that Wang Weiguo was young and fair-skinned, which was nothing like the burly chef she had in mind.

The key point is that in a place like the kitchen, there is not much smell of oil smoke on Wang Weiguo.

"Why doesn't it look like that? Do I have to pretend to be an apprentice?" Wang Weiguo said speechlessly.

"That's hard to say."

Chen Xueru covered her mouth and smiled, and couldn't help but joked: "Even if you are an apprentice, Fengze Garden is not a place where anyone can enter. There are really people who pretend to be.

Why don't you tell me who your master is? Maybe I know him."

Chen Xueru had naturally been to Fengze Garden, and more than once.

Naturally, everyone, including the chefs in the kitchen, knows something about the situation inside.

Not to mention those who have been there, even those who have not been there, many people outside are familiar with the master chefs in the kitchen of Fengze Garden.

After all, they are famous and cannot be compared with ordinary chefs.

"My master, Sun Maofeng, do you know Sister Xueru?"

When he said this, Wang Weiguo couldn't help laughing.

It feels like introducing one's family background or bringing out the elders in the family to show off.

"Master Sun Maofeng?"

"Why, do you know Sister Xueru?"

"I don't know him, but I've eaten the dishes cooked by Chef Sun, and they are delicious."

"I wonder which master chef Sister Xueru knows. Maybe I know him too."

"Ahem, these are not important..."

"..."

Originally, she wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect to be exposed by Wang Weiguo, which made Chen Xueru embarrassed.

It is true that I had dinner at Fengze Garden, but to say that I knew the famous chefs in the kitchen is pure fabrication.

In fact, she also heard it from others. She knew others, but others didn't know her.

If she wanted to get to know him, it wasn't impossible, but they were in two different circles before, so there was no intersection.

Even if there is, it is just a quick meeting and cannot be considered as friendship.

"If Sister Xueru doesn't believe me, you can come to Fengze Garden to find me tomorrow and then you'll know if I'm lying." Wang Weiguo said with finality.

"I'm not doubting you, but you don't look like a cook. Instead, you look more like a worker cadre, such as a broadcaster or a street cadre."

In order to avoid Wang Weiguo's misunderstanding, Chen Xueru hurriedly explained.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chen Xueru suddenly said to Wang Weiguo: "Brother Weiguo, if you have any new ideas in the future, draw them and show them to me. If they are suitable, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Weiguo understood instantly.

When Chen Xueru tried to establish a relationship with me and asked me to call her sister just now, she had a purpose.

Chen Xueru is not a naive person. It’s the first time they meet, so it’s impossible for her to be so enthusiastic to everyone, especially someone who asks her to call her sister.

It is obvious that Chen Xueru is impressed by her "talent" and does not want a one-time deal, but also hopes for subsequent cooperation.

Wang Weiguo did not have any aversion to this.

Neither love nor hate happens without reason.

At least in Chen Xueru's eyes, I am valuable.

"Okay, no problem."

Wang Weiguo would naturally not refuse something that would benefit both parties.

It also means that Wang Weiguo will have another way to make money.

This Chen Xueru is clearly a boy who brings wealth!
As Wang Weiguo nodded in agreement, Chen Xueru's smile became even more charming. She smiled and invited Wang Weiguo: "Brother Weiguo, do you have time tonight? If you have nothing to do, I will treat you to a drink and let you meet my friend who runs a pub. Didn't you just say you haven't been there?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

He had originally wanted to find time to go to the tavern, and now that Chen Xueru took the initiative to invite him, there was naturally no reason for Wang Weiguo to refuse.

After giving a few words to the silk shop clerk, Chen Xueru carried a small bag and walked out while twisting her slender waist, saying, "Let's go!"

The tavern was not far from the silk shop, so Wang Weiguo and Chen Xueru arrived there quickly after walking a few steps.

"Hey, isn't this Manager Chen? How come you have time to come to my tavern today?"

Chen Xueru was walking in front, and Wang Weiguo, who was following behind, had just stepped into the tavern when he heard a teasing female voice.

"What, you're not welcome?"

Chen Xueru looked up, raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Huizhen who had just spoken, and responded without any politeness: "Xu Huizhen, today I brought my brother here to support you, you must not destroy your own reputation and embarrass me."

"Your brother?"

After hearing what Chen Xueru said, Xu Huizhen noticed Wang Weiguo who followed Chen Xueru in. She looked at him and her eyes lit up. She asked curiously, "When did you get such a handsome brother? How come I didn't know?"

At this time, Wang Weiguo was still wearing the clothes he had just bought from Chen Xueru's store and had not changed them.

Wang Weiguo, who already had a good appearance, looked even more outstanding with the clothes on.

"I just admitted it, is that not okay?"

Without any concealment, Chen Xueru said it openly.

The regulars in the tavern were already accustomed to the tit-for-tat scenes between Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, but everyone was quite curious about Chen Weiguo, the "brother" that Chen Xueru brought with her.

All of a sudden.

Wang Weiguo, who had just stepped into the tavern without saying a word, became the focus of the entire tavern.

At this moment, a young man dressed like a cadre who was drinking in the bar slowly put down his glass and said in a frivolous tone: "Manager Chen, this is not your lover, right?"

The appearance of this voice made not only Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, but also many guests in the tavern frown.

"Fan Jinyou, keep your mouth clean."

Chen Xueru was not someone who would swallow her anger, so she started to retort immediately.

Seeing this, Wang Weiguo said calmly, "Sister Xueru, I think we should not drink this wine today."

Chen Xueru heard this and thought that Wang Weiguo was angry, so she quickly said, "Weiguo, don't be angry. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

No one would be happy if someone were to say that they were someone else's younger brother.

Chen Weiguo was the guest she invited. If he was angered and left right after entering the tavern before the drinks were even served, then she would be the one who would lose face.

At that moment, Chen Xueru became even more upset with Fan Jinyou, who spoke without restraint after drinking some horse urine.

"Sister Xueru, I'm not angry with you." Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Wang Weiguo shook his head, "Originally, Sister Xueru invited me to drink today, and I was very happy. Besides, I have long admired this tavern, but when I saw it today, I found that it's just so-so. My mood for drinking is gone, and there's no need to drink this wine." After these words came out, many guests present were stunned.

"My brother, please wait a moment."

As the core figure of this tavern, Xu Huizhen couldn't sit still anymore. She stepped forward to stop Wang Weiguo who was about to leave and said, "You came to our tavern and wanted to leave right after entering. You didn't even drink a sip of wine, but you said that our tavern is not as good as it is famous for. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

It was obvious that Xu Huizhen's serious temper came out.

Everything else is easy to deal with, but if it has something to do with her tavern, it won't be so easy.

Wang Weiguo just said those words. If she let him go like this today, the reputation of her tavern would be ruined.

Looking at Xu Huizhen, who had a fair and tender face and looked very young, Wang Weiguo paused and replied, "You must be Manager Xu Huizhen, right? I know you and Sister Xueru are friends, and I'm not targeting you on purpose. I'm just telling you the truth."

Hearing Wang Weiguo's words, Xu Huizhen was not angry, but asked seriously: "I don't know what is it about my tavern that makes you dissatisfied?"

Xu Huizhen was being polite, but Wang Weiguo knew that if he didn't explain everything clearly, or even make Xu Huizhen really convinced, he would have trouble leaving the house.

"People can't."

Wang Weiguo answered directly with three words.

Just when Xu Huizhen's face changed slightly, Wang Weiguo said again: "I haven't drunk the wine in this tavern, but everyone outside said it was good, so I think it's not bad. As for the environment, it's naturally not bad either.

But drinking is not just about the wine and the environment, it is also about having fun.

In life, it is fate to meet each other, and it is even greater fate to have a drink together.

As the ancients said, Cao Cao talked about heroes while drinking wine, the imperial concubine became charming after getting drunk, Guan Gong killed Hua Xiong after warming wine, and Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems after drinking. These are all cultural reputations named after wine.

Drinking with heroes is a joy in life.

But your tavern has a dirty person who is full of frivolous words..."

"well said!"

Before Wang Weiguo finished speaking, some people had already clapped their hands and cheered for him.

Xu Huizhen also realized that when Wang Weiguo said "incompetent person", he was not referring to her and other employees in the store, but to Fan Jinyou who had just made rude remarks.

"presumptuous!"

At this time, Fan Jinyou realized that he was being targeted and slammed the table in anger.

Chen Xueru was just thinking about what Wang Weiguo had just said, but Fan Jin slammed the table, which directly ruined the atmosphere.

Chen Xueru, who was already unhappy with Fan Jinyou, mocked him directly: "Wow, cadre Fan has such great authority!"

"Chen Xueru, this is none of your business. This kid insulted me!"

Fan Jinyou was still a little wary of Chen Xueru, fearing that she would stand up for Wang Weiguo and turn the tables on him.

"Tsk tsk, which unit does this cadre Fan belong to? He is really good at putting accusations on others!"

Wang Weiguo asked even though he knew the answer.

"Brother Weiguo, you have to be careful. Cadre Fan is from the neighborhood committee. We, as small people, can't afford to offend him." Chen Xueru immediately cooperated with the yin and yang talk.

"The neighborhood committee? I thought it was the street office from the way they were acting just now! The comrades from the street office are not so arrogant and condescending..."

Wang Weiguo looked at Fan Jinyou and sighed. Suddenly, he changed the subject and began to "educate" him: "Cadre Fan, I have to criticize you. There is something wrong with your work attitude."

When Wang Weiguo said this, everyone present was stunned.

Chen Xueru couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

When Fan Jinyou reacted, he was furious and glared at Wang Weiguo with red eyes.

Go against Tiangang.

An ordinary person actually dared to criticize him, a neighborhood committee cadre, in public.

Before Fan Jinyou could get angry, Wang Weiguo's next words made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Comrade Fan, the term 'dear brother' that you just mentioned humiliated both me and Sister Xueru. I think it is necessary to report this matter to your leader."

"This lifestyle is not a small matter. If it gets serious, you might end up having to eat peanuts."

"I'm a young man without a girlfriend, and I've become what you call a 'little brother'. My reputation has been ruined by you. How can I find a wife in the future?"

"Sister Xueru hasn't offended you, has she? Isn't it a bit too much for you to just throw dirty water on a woman? What will you do if the Women's Federation knows about this?"

"As a neighborhood committee cadre, you represent the neighborhood committee outside. It's fine if you don't act with caution and set an example, but you have filthy thoughts in your head and frivolous words in your mouth. Is this how you discredit the neighborhood committee outside?"

"..."

Every word he heard made Fan Jinyou's face turn pale.

Not daring to look at Wang Weiguo's domineering gaze, the timid Fan Jinyou said directly to Chen Xueru: "Chen Xueru, I was just joking. Can't you take a joke like your brother?"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Fan Jinyou obviously wanted to get away with it and tried to fool people by saying it was just a joke.

Her beautiful eyes were looking at Wang Weiguo with great excitement. When Chen Xueru heard what Fan Jinyou said, she naturally knew what he was planning.

Chen Xueru's face immediately darkened, and she said with disdain, "You said it was a joke, so what? Is this something you can joke about?"

Although she didn't care about these things, nor did she care about the gossip outside, if these things got out, it would still cause some trouble to her and Wang Weiguo.

Especially Wang Weiguo.

Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean others can just make trouble in the name of joking.

And in Chen Xueru's opinion, what Wang Weiguo said just now was not only to protect himself, but also to protect her.

Under such circumstances, she naturally could not hold Wang Weiguo back, dismantle his act in public, and let Fan Jinyou get away with it.

"I'm sorry, little brother, and Manager Chen."

Fearing that Wang Weiguo and Chen Xueru would really go to the neighborhood committee and the Women's Federation and make a big fuss, Fan Jinyou panicked and decisively picked up the wine glass, saying, "I just drank too much and said something I didn't think right. I apologize for what I said just now. I'll drink three glasses of wine as a punishment to show my apology."

If you really take it too seriously, you'll be in big trouble.

The key is that I am still a member of the neighborhood committee.

What Wang Weiguo said just now is all on point.

He is more afraid of the Women's Federation than the neighborhood committee.

If it really gets brought to the attention of the Women's Federation, they might even accuse women of disrespect and insult.

"Wait!"

Just when Fan Jinyou was about to drink three cups as punishment to get over the matter, Wang Weiguo stopped him and said, "Officer Fan, if you said you should drink three cups as punishment, then drink three cups. Have you asked me and Sister Xueru for their opinions?"

"What do you want?"

Fan Jinyou, who had already drunk one glass and was about to pour the second glass, suddenly turned pale.

Wang Weiguo saw this and said cheerfully, "What I mean is that you, Cadre Fan, write a self-criticism and reflect on the mistake you just made. This will prove that you recognize your mistake. And you should post this self-criticism in the tavern for three days so that everyone can supervise you. What do you think?"

"You're dreaming!"

Fan Jinyou's face changed drastically.

This was simplistic, as it were, a public execution.

If he really does this, how will Fan Jinyou have the face to stay on this street in the future?

Knowing that Fan Jinyou would definitely not agree, Wang Weiguo said directly: "Then I can only have a good talk with the leaders of your neighborhood committee and the street office. Sister Xueru, do you want to go to the Women's Federation as well?"

Fan Jinyou is not a good person at all. He is selfish, has no vision, no tolerance, and likes to be cunning. He has no strength but is very concerned about his reputation. His key methods are low-end, and he uses bad tricks from time to time. He does bad things that are unpopular with others.

Since he jumped out to cause trouble today, Wang Weiguo must leave a deep impression on him.

"Okay! Everyone must bear witness for us then."

What happened just now made Chen Xueru dislike Fan Jinyou and she said something just to watch the fun.

"Chen Xueru!!"

This time, Fan Jinyou was completely upset.

Chen Xueru narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows, saying, "What? Do you really want me to go to the Women's Federation?"

"Okay, I'll write!"

"..."
