The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Although Manny felt uncomfortable, she didn't care too much about Wang Gang's attitude towards Yao Yao. To be honest, she knew her place; she wasn't Wang Gang's girlfriend, so she had no right to be jealous.

Wang Gang drove Manny home, and then took a taxi away.

That evening, Hua Zi invited him to a nightclub for a social event. When it was almost time, Wang Gang went straight there and saw Hua Zi standing at the entrance of the nightclub from afar.

"You're here early! Have you had dinner yet?" Wang Gang asked Hua Zi after getting out of the car.

"Not yet, I arranged to meet them at eight o'clock, so we still have plenty of time." Hua Zi smiled and said, "There's a mutton soup place nearby that's pretty good, let's eat there together."

"Are you treating?" Wang Gang joked.

“Absolutely.” Hua Zi put his arm around Wang Gang’s neck and walked directly into the alley.

Seeing Hua Zi's familiarity with the place, Wang Gang couldn't help but ask, "You seem to know this place well! Do you come here often?"

Hua Zi chuckled and said, "Pighead brought me here once before."

Wang Gang suddenly realized, "Idiot, you want to sell smuggled cars to me?"

Hua Zi shook his head and said, "I have already clearly rejected him, but he has a lot of connections. This Manager Hu from the 4S store was introduced by Pighead."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is he coming tonight too?"

Hua Zi said, "I know you look down on him, so I didn't let him come over."

Wang Gang said, "It's not that I look down on Pighead, it's just that I'm afraid he'll lead you astray."

Hua Zi laughed and said, "Qiang Zi, I know what I'm doing. We won't do anything illegal."

Wang Gang nodded and said, "It's good that you know."

In fact, Wang Gang did not have a good impression of Zhu Tou, mainly because of the TV series. In the plot, Zhu Tou eventually stole Hua Zi's woman.

At the time, Hua Zi and Zhu Tou were not only good friends but also business partners. Yet, Zhu Tou still stole Hua Zi's woman without any hesitation, which shows that he has low moral standards and is not worth getting close to.

The mutton soup that Hua Zi recommended is from a small shop hidden in an alley, and it doesn't have many customers in the evening.

Before Wang Gang even got close, he could smell a strong aroma of mutton soup.

To be honest, Wang Gang didn't eat much at noon; Manny ate most of the food. After a busy afternoon, his stomach was already growling.

"Boss, two bowls of mutton soup, an extra serving of mutton, and two flatbreads, please," Hua Zi called out to the owner as he entered the shop.

"Okay, please have a seat. The mutton soup will be here soon," the owner said while busy making flatbread.

Hua Zi found a clean table, wiped the chair first, and then let Wang Gang sit down.

"Don't let the small size of this shop fool you, their mutton soup is absolutely amazing, and the owner's sesame flatbread is even better," Hua Zi said, giving a thumbs up.

"Then I'll have to try it properly." Wang Gang glanced at the menu on the wall and said, "Hua Zi, add another serving of cucumber salad and lamb shank."

“No problem, eat as much as you want today, it’s on me.” Hua Zi got up and walked towards the owner, then ordered two more dishes.

"Qiangzi, want a drink?"

"I'm not drinking anymore. There will be a lot of drinking later at the social event, so what would I drink now?" Wang Gang refused.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Hua Zi quickly returned with a plate of cucumber salad, smiling and saying, "Eat some vegetables first, the rest will have to wait a while."

Wang Gang was indeed hungry, and without being polite to Hua Zi, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Who did you meet tonight?"

"It took Pighead a lot of effort to get an appointment with the general manager of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store," Hua Zi said. "This Manager Hu has a lot of power. He can not only authorize us to sell damaged vehicles, but he also has a lot of customer information, which is very useful to us."

Wang Gang nodded, roughly knowing what kind of person the other party was.

How did your previous discussions with the other party go?

"The basic negotiations are almost complete, but Manager Hu seems to want some benefits."

“It’s normal. We’re not related, so why should he take care of us? As long as he doesn’t ask for an exorbitant amount.” Wang Gang and Hua Zi chatted while eating, getting a pretty good idea of ​​the situation.

The mutton soup and mutton bones were served quickly. Hua Zi's recommendation was great; the taste was indeed excellent, with a strong mutton flavor and no gamey taste at all. It's truly a hidden gem of a restaurant.

"Please enjoy your meal first. The sesame cakes are baking on the oven; it will take a few more minutes," the owner said.

"Boss, your lamb tastes really good. Is it sourced from Inner Mongolia?" Wang Gang asked.

"You're really amazing!" the boss exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.

"Another order of hand-pulled lamb chops, please," Wang Gang said with a smile. "Do you have the garlic and vinegar sauce?"

"Yes, of course," the owner said. "Would you like some chili powder and chive sauce?"

"Separately."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The boss happily went back to the kitchen to prepare.

Wang Gang ate his fill at dinner; he hadn't had such a satisfying lamb meal in a long time, and even Hua Zi's belly swelled up.

Since the agreed time hadn't arrived yet, Wang Gang and Hua Zi took a walk nearby to digest their food and chat about the future development of the car dealership.

Basically, Wang Gang was talking and Hua Zi was taking notes.

Hua Zi is extremely serious about doing business. If he thinks Wang Gang's suggestion is good, he will carry it out without hesitation.

The used car dealership has been doing well for several months since it opened, and is now on the right track, which is undoubtedly related to Hua Zi's strong execution skills.

The two chatted for over an hour, and when they saw that it was almost time, they went to the entrance of the nightclub to wait for Manager Hu to arrive.

As a result, Manager Hu didn't arrive until 8:30, half an hour late. He put on quite an air of superiority, which displeased Wang Gang.

Hua Zi was very enthusiastic and didn't mind the other party's lateness at all, adopting a very humble attitude.

"Mr. Hu, you've finally arrived! I've already set up the table, let's go in!" Hua Zi introduced, "This is my business partner, Gao Qiang."

Wang Gang extended his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Hu."

Manager Hu glanced at Wang Gang sideways but did not reach out.

"Let's go."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and slowly withdrew his hand.

Hua Zi nudged Wang Gang quietly and winked, telling him not to take it too seriously.

Wang Gang has seen all sorts of people, so naturally he wouldn't get angry over such a trivial matter.

"Mr. Hu, please come in." Hua Zi stepped between Wang Gang and Manager Hu, leading the two into the nightclub.

The venue Hua Zi found was quite large; although it was only 8:30, the main hall was already almost full.

Manager Hu was displeased when he discovered that the table Hua Zi had booked was in the outer lobby.

"Why not get a private room?"

Hua Zi was a little embarrassed. The private room was naturally much more expensive than the main hall. The car dealership was just starting out, and he wanted to save as much as he could.

"Mr. Hu, you don't know, this place has a fashion show at nine o'clock tonight," Hua Zi said with a smile, pointing to the catwalk in the middle of the hall.
"Then all the girls will walk the runway like models, and you can choose whoever you like!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Hu sat down with satisfaction.

Hua Zi gestured for Wang Gang to sit down, then called over a waiter and ordered some beer.

"I don't like beer. Do you have any spirits?" Manager Hu leaned back in his chair and said, pretending not to care.

"Yes, we have imported liquor. I'd like to order a bottle of Rémy Martin XO," Hua Zi said, bowing and scraping.

Manager Hu smiled with satisfaction. (End of Chapter)
