Chapter 2837

Seven or eight years of reform and opening up, the tea house opened in July or August of 1979, and it has been over ten years since then. Moreover, due to its affordable prices, its reputation is not small, and business has always been good.

The tea house is not far from the Garden Hotel, a walk of ten or so minutes. However, Zhou Andong and his group looking for a place to eat found the distance a bit far. After they finished their meal, they hailed a car, and when they arrived at the tea house, it was already 7:50 p. m., ten minutes before the agreed time, just right.

Zhou Andong entered the tea house, glanced around the environment, the decoration was somewhat outdated, but the business was indeed good. At this time, it was already eight o'clock, yet there were still sixty percent of the seats occupied.

"Sir, how many people, do you have a reservation?"

"I have an appointment!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Room Five, the private room."

"Room Five, the private room is on the second floor." The waiter pointed to the stairs: "The stairs are over there."

"Thank you!" Zhou Andong expressed his thanks, then strode toward the stairwell.

At this moment, inside Room Five on the second floor, Zhang Yuntong and his son had already arrived.

Zhang Yunfei raised his arm, habitually shaking his wrist where the Rolex was, then looked at the time: "Zhou Andong really puts on airs, it's still five minutes to eight, and he hasn't arrived yet."

Looking at Zhang Yunfei ostentatiously shaking his wrist, Zhang Yuntong's belly visibly swelled, obviously he was circulating his qi: "What's the point of shaking that broken watch back and forth?"

"Dad!" Zhang Yunfei said dissatisfiedly: "The watch strap is a bit loose, I'm just shaking it, what's wrong?"

"You don't know how ostentatious that watch of yours is?" Zhang Yuntong took a deep breath: "You know you bought it yourself, if you didn't know, I'd think I had embezzled a lot."

Zhang Yunfei waved his hand indifferently: "The money is mine I earned, buying a watch and caring about others' opinions, isn't that tiring?"

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's indifferent attitude, Zhang Yuntong's belly swelled more and more, but since the agreed time had arrived and Zhou Andong might arrive at any moment, he held back his anger.

"You don't know how you earned this money, do you?" Zhang Yuntong said in a suppressed voice: "If it weren't for your father sitting in this position, you might have starved to death, I'd praise you as awesome."

These words sounded harsh to Zhang Yunfei's ears, because he felt the money was his own earnings and had nothing to do with his father. But this kid still had some skill in reading people's expressions and tone, especially in looking at his father's face, knowing the old man was truly angry, so he immediately shut up.

"Hmph!" Zhang Yuntong let out a cold snort, just about to say something, the door of the private room was knocked. He hastily stood up, then kicked Zhang Yunfei's leg with his foot, shouting sternly: "Get up!"

"Is it necessary?" Zhang Yunfei muttered dissatisfiedly, then stood up as well.

With a creak, the door of the private room opened, Zhou Andong walked in.

Zhang Yuntong was about to speak, when he immediately saw Tang Lin, Zhang Zuo, Qin Zhi, and Zhao Liangping following behind. He didn't know the first three, but Zhao Liangping was not unfamiliar to him, which stunned him, then he reacted, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Director Zhou!" Zhang Yuntong extended his hand and said: "Last year at the entrepreneurs' forum you came to Yangcheng, I didn't have the chance to meet you, which is truly regrettable. So, when I learned you had come to Yangcheng, I made a small request to Director Ye, hoping to invite you for a cup of tea."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You are too polite, I have many investments in Yangcheng, and in the future there will still be many places needing Secretary Zhang's care. If there are any difficult matters within the legal framework, needing Secretary Zhang to say a word, I hope you won't shirk responsibility."

"Certainly, certainly!" Zhang Yuntong hurriedly introduced his son: "Director Zhou, this is my son Zhang Yunfei."

Zhang Yunfei stood there in a carefree manner, realistically glancing at Zhao Liangping, he really hadn't expected Zhou Andong to have a connection with Zhao Liangping. Immediately, this guy slightly raised his head, glanced at Zhou Andong, then extended his hand: "Zhou Dong, hello!"

Seeing Zhang Yunfei's appearance, Zhang Yuntong gritted his back teeth in anger, wishing to go up and give him a slap. But today's visitors were not just Zhou Andong, he had to suppress his anger in his heart, wait until he got home to deal with this scoundrel.

Zhou Andong acted as if he hadn't seen this guy extend his hand, pointed at Tang Lin and the others and said: "Secretary Zhang, let me introduce you. Tang Lin, Zhang Zuo, Qin Zhi, they are my business partners."

Saying this, Zhou Andong then pointed at Zhao Liangping: "Zhao Liangping doesn't need my introduction, right? You should not be unfamiliar."

"Not unfamiliar!" Zhang Yuntong shook hands with each one, those who could come to see him with Zhou Andong must be the second-generation heirs from Jingcheng mentioned by Ye Zhen, he dared not neglect: "Gentlemen, please take your seats."

Zhang Yunfei embarrassedly withdrew his hand, if it were someone else, this guy would surely lose his temper, even resort to violence. But in front of Zhou Andong, he could pretend, but truly lacked the courage to lose his temper at Zhou Andong.

Don't look at how he previously had seven points of dissatisfaction and eight points of resentment, looking down on Zhou Andong. But truly seeing Zhou Andong, he didn't dare have any other little thoughts, only that bit of self-esteem left, making him want to put on a show, not expecting Zhou Andong to give him no face at all, even looking down on him.

Zhou Andong sat in the main seat, this was not Zhang Yuntong being polite. Because regardless of status and position, or administrative rank, Zhou Andong was higher than Zhang Yuntong, so sitting in the main seat was natural and proper.

"Yunfei!" Zhang Yuntong said in a deep voice: "Let the waiter serve the dishes!"

Zhou Andong said calmly: "We have already eaten, don't order too much, to avoid waste."

Zhang Yuntong said with a smile: "We didn't order much, and moreover, I and Yunfei haven't eaten yet."

Zhang Yunfei got up and went out, not long after he came back, soon the waiter began serving dishes. In just a few minutes, the table was filled with dim sum and signature dishes.

"Director Zhou, all bosses!" Zhang Yuntong said very politely: "Although you have already eaten, the dim sum and signature dishes of Yue Cha Lou are still quite good, you can try a bit."

Zhou Andong picked up a piece of roasted goose and put it in his mouth: "Mm, the taste is indeed not bad."

Zhang Yuntong laughed: "Their crab-yellow buns are also quite good."

Zhou Andong picked up another crab-yellow bun, ate it, then nodded: "Still okay!"

Zhang Yunfei wanted to say something, Zhang Yuntong seemed to sense it, suddenly raised his head and glared at him, Zhang Yunfei immediately shut his mouth.

"Secretary Zhang!" After eating for a while, Zhou Andong lifted his teacup and took a light sip: "Ye Zhen called me and said, Shen Wenli has not yet entered prosecution, it's your help, I thank him on his behalf."

"Director Ye asked me for help, how could I not help?" Zhang Yuntong took a napkin and wiped his mouth: "What I hate most is relying on family power, using any means, seizing through trickery and force, the scoundrels. Moreover, the case back then had already been given a verdict, Shen Wenli had no problem, this time reopening the investigation is a violation, as a deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, asking a question is also appropriate."

"Ha!" Zhang Zuo suddenly laughed, the mocking meaning was very obvious, without any concealment: "Secretary Zhang, when you say this, do you not feel guilty at all?"
