Chapter 2454

Qin Changzhi patted his legs lightly, then stood up with his hands on his knees, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to eat at this shop. After waiting for half an hour, I'm really curious about how delicious these buns are."

Shen Mingsheng followed the waitress inside, saying as he walked: "I guarantee it won't make you come here for nothing, Mayor Qin."

"Table 32!" The waitress stopped: "Sir, please sit here."

Shen Mingsheng and Qin Changzhi sat down, and the waitress picked up the menu placed at the corner of the table and placed it between the two: "Sir, this is the menu!"

"Mayor Qin, you go first." Shen Mingsheng pushed the menu forward.

"Then I won't be polite."

Qin Changzhi was also really a bit hungry, and likewise, he was really curious about how delicious the buns at this shop were, to be able to make Shen Mingsheng recommend them so highly.

Also, don't look at the smile on his face, looking as if he respected Shen Mingsheng very much; in fact, he was very dissatisfied with Shen Mingsheng in his heart.

One was that he thought Shen Mingsheng didn't take him seriously; treating him to buns at noon, he didn't have any respect for him.

Two was, treating him to buns was one thing, but he, a dignified mayor, actually had to queue up, waiting for half an hour; this was something he, who had enjoyed privileges since he was a child, found very difficult to accept.

If it weren't for needing Shen Mingsheng's help, he would have gotten up and left, and would never have any contact with Shen Mingsheng from now on. If there was a chance, he naturally wouldn't mind suppressing Shen Mingsheng and giving him an unforgettable lesson.

Qin Changzhi looked at the menu, and he really didn't expect that there would be so many dishes in a bun shop: "Give me two shrimp and three-fresh, two beef, and another bowl of seaweed and egg custard."

Qin Changzhi looked again and felt there was nothing else to eat, so he handed the menu to Shen Mingsheng: "That's all."

Shen Mingsheng took the menu handed over by Qin Changzhi: "Are you only ordering this little?"

Qin Changzhi said with emotion: "I'm old, my appetite isn't what it used to be. Just two years ago, I could eat seven or eight of these buns by myself, but now it's not working; I might not even be able to eat four."

Shen Mingsheng said with a smile: "Mayor Qin, you're not even forty yet, younger than me. If you're old, wouldn't I be ready to be buried?"

Qin Changzhi sighed and said: "General Manager Shen has a beautiful wife at home, as well as a pair of smart and well-behaved children, and his business is smooth sailing; it can be said that life is going well. But I'm different; my wife and children aren't by my side, and the work pressure is too great, so it's very normal for my appetite to decrease."

Speaking of this, Qin Changzhi paused and then continued: "If General Manager Shen puts the automotive manufacturing R&D base in Fengjing, my work pressure will naturally be lifted.

Without work pressure, my mood will be good. If my mood is good, my appetite will be good. If my appetite is good, I can definitely eat two more bowls of rice every meal. If I can eat, my body will be good. If my body is good, I can live two more years. General Manager Shen, can't you help a brother out and put the automotive manufacturing R&D base in Fengjing, so I can live two more years?"

"Mayor Qin, please don't joke with a small businessman like me." Shen Mingsheng said, then looked up at the waitress: "Give me two lamb buns, two sauce-meat buns, and a bowl of seafood soup.

Also, a plate of thousand-layer pig ears, a plate of braised duck gizzards, a plate of smashed cucumber, a plate of red oil beef tripe, and four bottles of iced Brave the World."

"Okay!" The waitress handed Shen Mingsheng a number plate: "Sir, after hearing the number called, go to the meal pickup area to pick up your meal and pay the bill."

"We have to pick up the meal ourselves?" Qin Changzhi was a bit dissatisfied: "Your waitstaff won't send it over?"

"Yes!" The waitress smiled: "We pick up our own meals after ordering here."

Shen Mingsheng looked at the number plate; this was different from the number slip for queuing, it was a round copper plate with numbers engraved on it, looking very exquisite.

"Making such a plate shouldn't be cheap either." Shen Mingsheng played with the number plate in his hand and said softly.

Qin Changzhi asked: "Copper?"

"Yes!" Shen Mingsheng handed the number plate to Qin Changzhi: "Very exquisite."

Qin Changzhi took it, one side engraved with numbers, the other side engraved with the five words "Fatty Sister's Bun Shop": "Indeed, this small number plate doesn't look big. But for customized things, first there's mold opening, then casting, polishing, and engraving; it definitely can't be cheap. This bun shop is really willing to spend money."

"Please number 41 to the meal pickup area to pick up your meal, please number 41 to the meal pickup area to pick up your meal."

"The meal comes out quite fast." Shen Mingsheng stood up and said: "Mayor Qin, please wait a moment, I'll go pick up the meal."

"There's so much stuff, let's go together." Qin Changzhi got up and followed, complaining: "I've lived this long, both at home and abroad, I've been to all kinds of hotels, this is the first time I've encountered a restaurant where the waitstaff doesn't serve the food and you have to get it yourself."

The two picked up the meal and returned. Qin Changzhi sat down impatiently, then picked up his chopsticks, picked up a bun, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and then chewed slowly.

"The taste is indeed very good, no wonder the business is so good."

Shen Mingsheng laughed: "Last night I ate the buns from his shop, and I was still savoring them when I got up this morning. So, I brought you here together at noon."

"Thanks to General Manager Shen, otherwise where would I go to eat buns that taste this good?"

Qin Changzhi said so, but the discomfort in his heart didn't dissipate at all. No matter how delicious the buns were, they were just buns. I am a dignified mayor of a city, and you, Shen Mingsheng, are treating me to buns?

"General Manager Shen!" Qin Changzhi ate two buns in a row, and the seaweed and egg custard also tasted quite good, so he drank half a bowl, then put down his chopsticks and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth: "Regarding the issue of the automotive manufacturing R&D base settling down, how have you considered it?"

Shen Mingsheng said helplessly: "Mayor Qin, I can understand your feelings, but I really can't make the decision on this matter personally. Moreover, we have already signed a contract with Jiangzhou; if we breach the contract, our losses will be too great.

What's more, I am a businessman, and doing business is all about credibility. I, Shen Mingsheng, can have today because I value credibility; my word is as good as gold."

Qin Changzhi's face changed, but he recovered instantly and smiled slightly: "General Manager Shen, I believe you are a smart person and a sensible person. As for any losses or credibility, as long as you agree to put the base in Fengjing, Secretary Yin will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Shen Mingsheng was just about to speak when he heard a voice from behind: "General Manager Shen, you said you would come to support us today, and you really came."

It was Zhou Anlei who spoke. There was nothing to do in the back kitchen, so he brought a bottle of iced beer to toast a regular customer, and then he saw Shen Mingsheng at a glance.

"Brother Zhou!" Shen Mingsheng smiled: "Come, come, let me introduce you, this is Mayor Qin of Fengjing..."

"Mayor Qin!" Zhou Anlei reached out his hand calmly: "Welcome to my small shop, please forgive me if there is any poor hospitality."

After all, his bun shop was frequently visited by some leaders in the city. Even the secretary and mayor had been there more than once. Therefore, facing Qin Changzhi, Zhou Anlei's heart really didn't have any fluctuations.

Shen Mingsheng hurriedly introduced him to Qin Changzhi again: "Mayor Qin, this is the owner of the bun shop, Zhou Anlei. You should know who he is just by hearing this name; he is Zhou Andong's cousin."
