Su Hui said angrily, “Zhang Tong, what are you talking about?”

Zhao Pu said, “Huihui, I think what Zhang Tong said makes sense. There are really a lot of scammers now. You’d better be careful. Don’t be fooled by others.”

Jin Haiyang said, “I agree. There are no labels on the clothes. I can get lots of silver stars with a little bit of money.”

Xu Jiajia sneered, “What do you mean? Do you think I can’t recognize my boss’s design?”

Zhang Tong said, “Jiajia, you’re just a designer, not an appraiser. It’s quite normal if you’ve made a mistake.”

In fact, the three of them knew very well that Qin Haodong’s suit was real, but it would make them lose face. Now they could only say that it was fake.

Xu Jiajia was about to say something when her cell phone rang. She took it out and found that it was a call from the company’s administration.

Although she hadn’t answered the phone yet, she seemed to have guessed something and pressed the speaker button excitedly.

“Jiajia, the boss just called and said that she would directly promote you to a two-star designer. Congratulations! Tomorrow morning, please hand over all your materials to our department and we’ll immediately go through the procedures.”

The entire private room fell into silence. One could even hear their own breathing. Everyone looked at Zhang Tong and the other two with mockery.

Xu Jiajia expressed her gratitude and hung up. She looked back at the three stunned men and asked, “What else do you want to say this time?”

Zhang Tong had a quick mind. He immediately put on a fake smile and said, “Today is a gathering of classmates. It’s rare for us to get together. We’re just kidding to make others happy. Since everyone is here, I’ll ask them to serve the dishes now.”

The dishes in Taotie Restaurant were served very quickly. A few minutes later, the table was piled up with delicious dishes.

In the general manager’s office of the hotel, Li Xiuquan was sitting behind his desk, smoking and looking at the big screen in front of him.

As the general manager of the hotel, he was very smart and knew exactly what to do and what he shouldn’t do. He knew how to do it to make the boss more satisfied.

Usually, he had a small trick of working, which was to keep an eye on the monitor during the peak period. Once there were honored guests, he would serve them immediately. As long as these distinguished guests were satisfied, the reputation of the hotel would naturally be promoted, and the boss would be very satisfied with his work.

In particular, he had a new boss recently. He hadn’t figured out his temperament yet, so he had to be more careful with his work.

He was staring at the surveillance video when a man and a woman suddenly appeared on the big screen. When he saw the man’s face clearly, he was shocked. The cigarette in his hand fell out and almost burned his pants.

“Is that the boss?” In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, he quickly paused the video and enlarged the image. Qin Haodong’s face appeared clearly on the big screen.

Yes, that was his boss!

“Why didn’t the boss call me in advance? What does he mean? Does he want to check my work in private and see how I am doing?

“No, I have to find out which room the boss has gone to. I have to go there and perform well. This is a big deal related to my job.”

Thinking of this, Li Xiuquan kept checking the surveillance video and finally confirmed that Qin Haodong had walked into the platinum private room. Then he stood up and hurried out.

In the private room, Zhang Tong calmed down and thought of a way to save face. He reached out and grabbed a bottle of red wine. He opened it and said, “Guys, it’s rare for us to get together. I especially ordered this kind of red wine from the hotel. The wine is made in France.

“This is an authentic Bordeaux red wine. It costs 30,000 yuan per bottle. Don’t be worried about the price. Just feel free to enjoy it, and I’ll pay for it. Don’t fight about who will pay the bill!”

After pouring everyone a glass of wine, he began to show off and said, “Guys, let me tell you, it’s not easy to book a private room in the Taotie Restaurant today. If not for the fact that I and the hotel manager are good friends, it would have been impossible for us to sit here.”

Jin Haiyang also said, “That’s true. The Taotie Restaurant is the most popular hotel in our capital. Those who come here to eat are either rich or noble people. Ordinary people can’t book a room here at all.

“Last time, a client wanted to invite me to dinner. He made a reservation here a week in advance, but he didn’t get a private room. In the end, we had to eat outside the private rooms.

“It can be seen that you really have some good friends here.”

Zhang Tong glanced at Qin Haodong and Su Hui and said proudly, “Of course. Manager Li and I are sworn brothers. If I call him, he will immediately come over to toast everyone.”

Xu Jiajia said, “Really? Our company has had a meal here, but we have never seen the general manager. Why don’t you call him over and let us all have a look?”

“Uh… No problem. I’ll call him now.”

Zhang Tong was just bragging as usual. In fact, he and Li Xiuquan were just acquaintances and they were not good friends at all.

But now, Xu Jiajia was serious, so he couldn’t lose face in public. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, walk to the corner, and call Li Xiuquan.

“Manager Li? This is Zhang Tong. I’m having dinner at your hotel. Do you have time to come over and have a drink with us?”

Li Xiuquan had just come out of his office. He was in a hurry to see his big boss and had no time to pay attention to a nobody like Zhang Tong. But as the general manager of the hotel, he was very tactful. He said, “Oh, brother Zhang, I’m really sorry. I have something to do now. I’ll definitely come over there to have a drink when I get back.”

After that, he hung up and went straight to Qin Haodong’s private room.

Zhang Tong hung up and went back to the table. Xu Jiajia asked, “How about it? When will Manager Li come over?”

Zhang Tong smiled awkwardly and said, “What a coincidence. Manager Li just happened to go out, but he said he would come back as soon as possible.”

When he said this, his expression suddenly froze. He saw that there were already three empty bottles in front of Qin Haodong.

In order to show off, he asked for a total of five bottles of red wine. He thought that they couldn’t finish them, so he could return the rest. However, he didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would drink three bottles of wine in a short period.

Moreover, Qin Haodong looked normal, as if he didn’t drink at all. His tolerance for alcohol was amazing.

However, he could not care about anything else now. A bottle of wine cost 30,000 yuan, and three bottles of wine cost 90,000 yuan in total.

“You… why did you drink all my wine?”

Qin Haodong reached out and took the last bottle. “Boss Zhang, you asked us to feel free to drink, didn’t you?”

Then he raised his head and drank up the wine in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it, 30,000 yuan is gone. If I had known there would be such an alcoholic here, I wouldn’t have ordered such expensive red wine.”

Zhang Tong was both anxious and annoyed. Just then, the door was opened and Li Xiuquan walked in with a respectful expression.

Zhang Tong was stunned at first, and then he went over and said, “Dude, didn’t you say that you were busy? It turns out that you were just joking with me. I know, you must want to give me a surprise, right?”

As he spoke, he wanted to come over and give Li Xiuquan a hug to show that they were old friends.

However, Li Xiuquan went straight to the dining table without even looking at him.

Zhang Tong was dumbfounded as he stood there with his arms outstretched. He didn’t know what was going on with Li Xiuquan. Why did he come to his private room without talking with him? Did he have other friends here?

It was impossible. As the general manager of the Taotie Restaurant, Li Xiuquan had always been imposing. There were no big shots in his class. How could he know anyone else except him?

He turned around and was surprised to see Li Xiuquan going over to Qin Haodong with a flattering face. He bowed and said, “Boss, welcome here. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I could have sent a car to pick you up.

“Such an ordinary platinum private room is not worthy of your identity. The best luxurious diamond private room in our hotel has always been reserved for you. If you need it, I’ll ask someone to open the room right now.”

Qin Haodong originally wanted to keep a low profile, but Li Xiuquan had come over to him, so he had no other choice. “Forget it, we’ll just stay here. This room is smaller, and we can thus have a blast at the party.”

They were all dumbfounded!

Everyone in the room was stunned and no one knew what was going on!

Just now, Zhang Tong had been bragging for a long time, saying that the Taotie Restaurant was high-ranking and it was very impressive to be able to book a private room here. However, Qin Haodong was actually the boss of this place. The huge gap between them made Zhang Tong embarrassed.

Zhang Tong, Zhao Pu, and Jin Haiyang were completely dumbfounded. They had always thought that Qin Haodong was just a toy boy with no background. But in the blink of an eye, he had become the boss of the Taotie Restaurant. They didn’t even dare to compete with him.

Qin Haodong said to Li Xiuquan, “Today is the gathering of my girlfriend’s classmates. The dinner is free.”

“Sure, sure!” Li Xiuquan said respectfully, “I’ll ask the chef to serve the signature dishes right away. The wine is of low quality, it is not worthy of your identity. There are also some expensive bottles of 1982 Lafite in the hotel. I’ll ask someone to send them over immediately.”

Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “That’s it. Do it quickly.”

“Okay, boss. If there’s anything else you need, feel free to tell me.”

Li Xiuquan finished his words and left the private room. From beginning to end, he didn’t even look at Zhang Tong.

Everyone realized what had happened. The general manager of the hotel didn’t go out at all. It was just that Zhang Tong was not important enough and he and the manager were not sworn brothers at all.

This was the difference. Everyone could see clearly that the person Zhang Tong flattered was just one of Qin Haodong’s men.

The French red wine that he just showed off was not good enough at all. Now it was replaced by Lafite produced in 1982.

He said that he wanted to pay the bill for this table of food, but Qin Haodong directly asked the general manager to provide the food for free.

Zhang Tong stood there with a deathly pale face. He was thoroughly regretful right now. If he had known that this toy boy was the boss of Taotie Restaurant, he wouldn’t have agreed to hold the party here.

However, at this time, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Qin Haodong, so no one looked at him at all.

A female classmate next to Su Hui said with admiration, “Huihui, you’re so lucky. Your boyfriend is handsome and rich. It would be great if my future boyfriend is one-tenth as good as Mr. Qin.”

Xu Jiajia said enviously, “Huihui, no wonder Mr. Qin can be friends with my boss. It turns out that he’s really a big shot.”

Su Hui took Qin Haodong’s arm and said happily, “You’re right. I’m really lucky to have found Haodong.”

At this time, waiters came in one after another, replaced all the dishes on the table, and then served six bottles of 1982 Lafite.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Tong became more and more embarrassed. There was always someone better than him. He was no match for Qin Haodong.
