Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 46 Eye to Eye (Please continue reading!)
Hu Zihong sat at the counter, taking a sip of water from time to time, but most of the time, her eyes followed Cao Yukun, watching him chatting and laughing with all kinds of people with ease.

Of course, I would occasionally look at the three young men and the young girl in the corner.

She is very pretty and smart, and you can tell at first glance that she is not an easy girl to deal with.

Suddenly, Cao Yukun finished dealing with a few friends and turned to walk towards the counter. She immediately turned her head to look at him, smiled slightly, and stood up, "Wait for me."

Cao Yukun casually stood in front of the counter, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Half a minute later, a cup of hot milk was placed in front of him. "You've had seven or eight cups. This whiskey has a strong aftereffect. Have a cup of hot milk!"

Cao Yukun thanked him, picked up the milk and took a sip.

He can drink quite a bit, actually it cannot be said that he can drink quite a bit, it's just that the original owner's horse, Red Hare, had an extremely good physique and could drink a lot. Besides, it was just a social event, so he only poured a sip at the bottom of the glass each time and didn't drink much.

"Since this afternoon, many people have come here to ask about you. Boss Xu is a bit of a mouthful and has said a lot."

"Yeah, that's normal. If he didn't tell me, I would have to spread the news on purpose!"

"Oh, I see! I'm glad you know that. ... Mr. Kun!"

She emphasized the last word.

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her and laughed.

She also smiled, picked up the water cup, and gestured to Cao Yukun, "I wish you good luck in the opening of the market on the 12th! A big rise!"

Cao Yukun also picked up the milk cup, clinked it with hers, and took a sip. "Everyone is looking forward to a big increase! I'll give you a gift when it goes up!"

"Okay!"

She thought about it, turned around and looked around her restaurant, finally her eyes fell on the counter and knocked on it, "I want a lucky cat, put it here, the kind that always waves!"

"Oh, it's not good to ask others to give that thing to you, right? I bought it myself!"

"You can just give it to me! You can help me to attract wealth!"

"Ha...Okay, I'll buy it another day!"

"Remember to call me, I want to choose by myself!"

"How can someone give you a gift and you have to choose it yourself?"

"I can do it!"

"Hahaha, okay, I'll call you another day!"

"Not some other day, but the 12th! The market will definitely surge as soon as it opens!"

"That makes sense. Then number 12 is fine!"

Cao Yukun accepted a new debt with a smile, and he was in a rare good mood.

Seeing the small plate on her counter, she picked up a broad bean and threw it into her mouth, starting to chew it.

But suddenly, she asked, "I heard from people that you brought quite a few people with you this afternoon. There was a leader, a very pretty girl... Is that the one?"

Cao Yukun turned around, followed her gaze, and nodded, "My accountant."

"Oh... so beautiful."

"Yeah, very spicy!"

"That's good. Girls need to be aggressive, otherwise they won't be able to stand firm."

"Aren't you standing still?"

"Me? Am I not aggressive? I am only aggressive towards you!"

"..."

"Really! No matter how aggressive a girl is, she just can't be aggressive with some people."

Cao Yukun smiled, picked up the milk cup, drank it all in one gulp, nodded, put down the cup, and pursed his lips, "It smells so good!"

"It smells good! I have it anytime... Thirty dollars, thank you!"

As soon as the cigarette was in his mouth, Cao Yukun couldn't help laughing, shaking off the ash, and raised his hand to slap her hand, but he didn't expect that she should have been prepared and grabbed it. Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at her.

But she suddenly turned her eyes away, looking at the wall clock beside her. She didn't know who she was talking to, "Really, the milk I gave you was specially ordered. It's very expensive!"

After a pause, Cao Yukun grabbed her hand and rubbed it twice.

It is soft as if it has no bones and smooth to the touch.

But the next moment, he suddenly let go and said, "I'll come find you when the market opens!"

When Hu Zihong turned her gaze back, he had already walked away. Hu Zihong bit her lip and showed a smug expression on her face, but her face soon turned red again. She said "Pah" in a low voice and cursed herself, "How shameless!", but she soon laughed secretly.

He returned to the table where the group of young people were sitting. There, Xu Delu was obviously a little drunk, and was bragging to a group of young people about his glorious resume in the Magic City over the past few years. The young people seemed to have seen nothing, and they listened with great involvement and concentration.

After he went back, he seemed to have no intention of interrupting Xu Delu. After eating a few bites of food, he listened attentively like the other young men.

But suddenly, the young girl turned her head and looked over.

Hu Zihong subconsciously turned his eyes and looked over to meet her gaze. When their eyes met, the girl had a blank expression on her face and nodded slightly. Hu Zihong also nodded at her and smiled.

It was almost eight o'clock and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased.

But suddenly, at some point, several people suddenly rushed into the store. Before Hu Zihong could react, he saw a man in a suit and tie walk in.

People sitting at several tables facing the door in the store seemed to have noticed the slightly unusual movement at the door. When they subconsciously looked up, several people stood up at once.

"Who is Cao Yukun, President Kun?"

The huge tea restaurant suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Hu Zihong was subconsciously a little panicked and wanted to run out from the counter, but she couldn't help turning her head to look at Cao Yukun.

At this time, before Cao Yukun could stand up, Xu Delu stood up first and exclaimed, "Boss Jin! Ouch...Boss Jin!"

He rushed out, greeted him, and held out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Jin, do you still remember me? Old Xu!"

The man glanced at him and nodded lightly, but did not show any intention of shaking hands. Instead, he swept around the restaurant, his eyes quickly fell on Cao Yukun's table, and even quickly locked onto Cao Yukun himself.

Their eyes met, and he said, "I mean, who is Mr. Kun?"

Cao Yukun smiled, raised his hand to push back Huang Jiapeng who had suddenly stood up in a daze, and faced the visitor calmly, "I'm Cao Yukun, who are you?"

The man stared at Cao Yukun for about a second before a smile suddenly broke out on his face. He walked over, and when the two of them were facing each other, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Cao Yukun. "My name is Jin Zhiqiang. I heard that someone took out 30,000 consecutive subscription certificates this afternoon. It was very generous! I also heard that Mr. Kun will host a banquet at this Ah Hong Tea Restaurant tonight, so I came here specially to meet him."

Cao Yukun smiled and nodded, "So it's Mr. Jin, I've heard of your name for a long time."

"You're welcome! I don't have 30,000 consecutive subscription certificates! Mr. Kun's vision, financial resources, and courage are all admirable for being so optimistic about subscription certificates before the New Year!"

"Just reckless!"

"Hahaha...what a reckless guy! Where's the boss? Lend me a glass of wine to toast this old brother!"

Hearing this, Xu Delu, who was standing next to him, subconsciously picked up an upside-down cup from the plate on the table next to him, trotted over, handed it to Jin Zhiqiang, and then took the initiative to pick up the bottle of wine on the table and poured it for him.

At this time, Cao Yukun also turned around and took his cup.

"I wish you good fortune, brother!"

“Everyone gets rich!”

With a clinking sound, the two cups clinked together, and both of them tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, Jin Zhiqiang said with a smile: "On the evening of the 12th, I plan to celebrate at the Dali Palace. I have invited many friends, all of whom are very powerful. How about coming, brother?"

"Okay!"

So he nodded, turned around and casually handed the cup to a person who was traveling with him. Although he was about 7 or 8 centimeters shorter than Cao Yukun, he still patted Cao Yukun on the shoulder. Although he looked up at him, he seemed to have an indescribable arrogance and said, "See you at 7 o'clock in the evening!"

"it is good!"

He finally turned around and walked away, saying, "It's my treat tonight! Drink as much as you want!"

As soon as he said this, one of his entourage suddenly stopped, took out his wallet, turned his head and took a quick look around the store, then walked to the counter, pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills, gently placed it on the counter, nodded slightly to Hu Zihong, then turned around and ran out.
