Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 836 Is there any limit to bragging?

Xiao Hong said, "Liu Hongliang, is it alright if you ask me?"

Liu Hongliang said, "I only asked because you brought it up first."

Xiao Hong blinked a few times and pointed at Xiao Wei's mother: "My aunt changed the subject, saying it was something about worshipping Buddha."

Chen Hui said, "What reporter? What official pairing system? What?"

Xiao Wei rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's talk about what to eat. Aren't you guys hungry?"

Xiao Hong said, "I bought you some cracked rice and red sausage, do you want some?"

Chen Hui said, "Why eat bread and sausages when there's rice available?"

Xiao Wei said, "You know what, back then, bread and sausage were the most luxurious food for me. I could only eat it once a year. With a bottle of soda, it was simply the most delicious thing in the world."

Liu Hongliang, Chen Hui, and Xia Maosheng all turned to look at Xiaowei's mother: "Auntie, is what he said true?"

Xiao Wei's mother said, "That's absolutely true. Back then, there wasn't much good food in the countryside. Besides, bread, sausages, and soda were all pretty good, right? They cost five or six cents a time."

Xiao Wei said, "Back then, I could count the number of popsicles I ate in a year, no more than three, which cost nine cents."

Xiao Wei's mother said, "Don't talk nonsense! Does that mean they won't let you eat it? If they won't sell it, I'll make it for you myself!"

Xiao Wei smiled and said to Chen Hui and the other two, "Let me tell you, I haven't eaten instant noodles until now. I used to think they were too expensive to eat, but now I just don't have the chance. Sometimes when I go to the factory, I even think about whether I should eat a few packs and try them."

Xiao Hong took out the cracked bread, broke it in half, flattened it a bit with her hand, rolled the sausage inside, and handed it to Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei took it, took a bite, and said, "This bread doesn't taste as good as the old bread."

Xiao Wei's mother said, "I still chose the expensive one, saying it's the best-tasting bread from Russia, and it's also big."

Chen Hui reached out and broke the half-eaten bread into three pieces, distributing them to Xia Maosheng and Liu Hongliang. He stood up, still chewing on his bread, and said, "Come on, let's eat. Xiao Xiao, do you want some more?"

Chen Xiao and Geng Hui were talking on the side, saying, "No, we just ate a little while ago."

Xiao Hui and Xia Gensheng are asleep again, lying side by side on the bed, drooling.

Xiaowei's mother said, "Xiaowei, go and call Ga Zi. He's probably not full, he's so big."

Xiao Wei agreed, and the four of them went out and knocked on Ga Zi's door, only to find that he was already asleep, truly exhausted.

The four of them exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of relief that they were in trouble.

When they got to the restaurant downstairs, the four of them didn't go into a private room. Instead, they ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of beer in the main dining area.

Before they had finished their meal, the restaurant door opened, and Hu Jun walked in with two other people. He looked around and strode over when he saw Xiao Wei and the others.

Chen Hui, facing the gate, was the first to look at it and said, "Are they here to get down to business?"

Xiao Wei turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "He wouldn't dare. He's probably here to plead for him."

Hu Jun approached, but the four of them continued eating as usual, ignoring him. Even someone like Hu Jun wouldn't dare cause trouble in a place like this; it was a key provincial hotel, directly operated by the city, and causing trouble here would immediately raise eyebrows.

The two lackeys raised their hands to speak, but Hu Jun blocked them. Hu Jun walked forward, walked to the table, coughed, and said, "Um, gentlemen, shall we eat?"

Chen Hui looked up at him and said, "You never know what manners are. You're watching us eat and you still come over to bother us? Do you think we should bother you when we're halfway through our meal? Or do you want to eat with us?"

Hu Jun said, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say a few words to you."

Chen Hui said, "I'm eating, I don't have time to talk to you. Why don't you go cool off over there for a while, okay?"

Hu Jun gritted his teeth, glanced at Chen Hui, then turned and walked to the side with his two henchmen, pulled up a chair, sat down, and lit a cigarette. His two henchmen glared angrily at them.

To be honest, with a group of people watching and waiting, it's impossible for anyone to truly slack off and eat slowly. Stories like that are all nonsense. The four of them stopped talking, finished their meal, went to the nearby coffee shop, and asked the waiter to make tea. Chen Hui glanced at Hu Jun, who had followed them, and said, "What do you want to say? Go ahead."

Hu Jun said, "Brother, now I know you guys have connections and influence, I admit it, okay? Even killing someone is one thing, but you can't go too far, can you?"

Chen Hui asked, "What do you mean?"

Hu Jun said, "It's just letting you have a drink, what's the big deal? You're shutting down my factory and cutting off my electricity, is that really necessary?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Hu Jun'er, do I know you? Who are you? What do you do? You come over here, grab a glass of wine, and we have to drink it. If we don't, it's considered disrespectful. You're so powerful. Then you brought people from the Investment Promotion Bureau to force us to drink bottles. Why didn't you say it was boring then?"

Hu Jun said, "It's just a drink, what's the big deal?"

One of his henchmen said, "You're such a braggart, what are you talking about? There's no limit to how much you can brag!"

Xiao Wei said, "Are you done talking? We have things to do and don't have time to keep you company."

Hu Jun said, "Is there nothing to talk about? This is Harbin, do you think you can ruin my life? Or are you planning to never come to Harbin again in your life?"

Xiao Wei said, "Should I come to Harbin to see you? Hu Jun, you really have too much of an opinion on yourself, I have nothing to say to you. Let me tell you, I just invested some money in Harbin, so I'll be coming here often in the future, and I'll probably be living here most of the time. You can come and see me here in the future."

Hu Jun said, "Can we be realistic? Which of the companies on the investment list are you? Do you think you're the only ones with connections? I've already said you have extensive connections and influence, I'm impressed. What else do you want? You want me to give you another 100,000 or 200,000 yuan? Can the person you found really revoke my license or cut off my electricity for life? Aren't you just trying to disgust me?"

Xiao Wei said, "Don't you have connections? You can't even find out who's behind this? It shows the people you know are really low-level. Sorry, we're signing an investment contract with the city tomorrow, we don't have time to waste here joking around with you. Goodbye if there's nothing else."

The four of them got up and walked out. Hu Jun said, "Is this never going to end? Believe me or not, even if you really invest, I'll ruin everything for you. Let's see how you do it."

Xiao Wei turned to look at Hu Jun and said, "Okay, I bought all 200,000 square meters of land next to the St. Sophia Cathedral. We'll sign the contract tomorrow afternoon. If you can sabotage this deal, I'll give you the 100 million yuan I invested directly. I keep my word. Go find someone."
