After parting with Joanna, Gu Li had been waiting downstairs of the hotel for a long time. Ni Jingqiu knew that Su Tao was leaving Yanjing, so she asked Gu Li to pick Su Tao up to a small restaurant, which was considered a farewell banquet.

As soon as Su Tao showed up, Gu Li honked twice. Su Tao smiled and opened the car door. Gu Li said with a smile: "I have been waiting for a long time."

Su Tao looked up and down at Gu Li, and smiled and said, "Your image is really pleasing to you."

Gu Li actually looks pretty and doesn't beat herself up. She is completely a beautiful and fashionable girl.

Gu Li pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "I was forced too. You also know my father's temper. If I dare to wear it as much as I did at home as when I was in the island country, I would definitely be broken by him."

Su Tao was a little strange. How could a person as traditional as Gu Tianyang raise a daughter with such a personality?

Su Tao looked sideways on Gu Li's white and tender pretty face, "What should I eat today?"

Guli smiled pursed her lips, "You will know when you get to the place."

The car condition in Yanjing was very bad at this time. Gu Li opened the map and guided it. Although she took a detour, she quickly arrived at the agreed place. Ni Jingqiu had been waiting for a long time. Su Tao saw a hot pot on the table. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect the meal to be so down-to-earth.

Three people ate hot pot, but ordered a dozen people, so the waiter was so sad that they were reminded that they had enough food.

After a while, the mandarin duck pot was steaming with hot heat. Guli took the lead in picking up a thin slice of mutton slices, put them in the pot and blanched them. When the color changed slightly, it was taken out, covered with sauce, put them in her mouth, and smiled and said, "It's great!"

Ni Jingqiu and Su Tao both know Guli, so it is not surprising.

Su Tao smiled and said, "How long has it been since you had hot pot?"

Guli took her fingers and calculated it, and said while eating: "There are also hot pots in Kyoto, but the taste is too light. Hot pots with red oil are still called hot pot."

Ni Jingqiu said helplessly: "I originally planned to go to eat Western food, but Guli strongly asked for hot pot, so she chose this place."

Su Tao looked around and saw that the seats were full of people. It was obvious that the business was good. He smiled and said, "You need this kind of atmosphere to eat, so that it will be lively."

Ni Jingqiu smiled and said, "I have an idea recently to open a traditional Chinese medicine health restaurant. What do you think?"

Su Tao shook his head and said, "Isn't it?"

Ni Jingqiu couldn't help laughing, "What? I'm afraid I'll bother you?"

Su Tao shook his finger and smiled and said, "As the saying goes, diseases come from the mouth, and disasters come from the mouth. Most of the diseases are diseases caused by eating, so traditional Chinese medicine and catering are actually two industries that cannot coexist. Many TV programs invite so-called traditional Chinese medicine experts to talk about healthy and reasonable diet. It seems reasonable, but they are actually nonsense and have no basis. Moreover, the menu of traditional Chinese medicine health restaurants must be light, and they cannot compete with other catering industries regardless of the dishes or taste."

Ni Jingqiu was silent for a moment and said, "Since you object, I will take back this idea."

Su Tao understood why Ni Jingqiu had this idea. She planned to use her popularity effect to prepare for a comprehensive resource exploration. However, Su Tao felt that she had to focus on her job and smiled and said, "A good doctor to be a chef is called not doing his job properly. Now some idol stars use popularity, cross-border business, and consume their fans, which is not a long-term solution."

Ni Jingqiu sighed, "You poured a basin of cold water on you, it's so boring."

Su Tao took a tribute ball for Ni Jingqiu and said with a smile: "I apologize."

Ni Jingqiu stuffed the tribute balls into her mouth, and her cheeks bulged.

Su Tao suddenly became stunned and quickly put away his dirty thoughts and interrupted: "Ling Yu returned to the sect, and I realized that his status in the Yanjing branch had already surpassed me. If he didn't come back quickly, there would be problems with the Yanjing branch sooner or later."

Ni Jingqiu put down her chopsticks and nodded, "I heard that you made him angry?"

Su Tao shrugged helplessly, threw a few vegetables into the pot, took a sip of juice, and said, "Oh, it's just a joke. I didn't expect him to be so sensitive. I haven't figured out what's going on yet."

Ni Jingqiu comforted: "Don't think too much, maybe you just want to go home and have a look."

Su Tao nodded and said, "I almost forgot that Ling Yu is quite young and is still a little brat. I usually care about what he does."

Ni Jingqiu gave Su Tao a angrily glance and said, "In terms of age, you are not very old. You are a little ungrateful when you speak in an old and arrogant way. No wonder Ling Yu was angry with you."

Su Tao quickly became serious and sighed: "After you reminded me, I found that my work has been a bit too high-profile recently, and sometimes I look arrogant."

Ni Jingqiu said: "It is a good thing that you can stay awake at any time."

Su Tao laughed self-deprecatingly: "Life is the hardest, and a young man is successful. The suffering lies in pride, and the suffering lies in standing still. Once you become famous, you will be pushed to the top. Too much praise and too much vanity will corrupt a person's heart."

Ni Jingqiu laughed so hard that she gave Su Tao a angrily look and said, "I look down on you the most serious and serious!"

Su Tao laughed a few times. In fact, what he said just now was the truth. Good fortune is the source of misfortune. Beware of success in youth.

Ni Jingqiu was sent here by the driver. After eating the hot pot, Gu Li carried the two of hers to the hotel first. When Su Tao disappeared from her sight, Ni Jingqiu sighed and said to Gu Li: "Just finished eating the hot pot, there was a smell on her body. Open the car window and let's take a breath of fresh air."

After the car window opened, the air conditioner outside was flooded. After Ni Jingqiu shivered, she felt much more awake.

Guli sat in the driver's seat and whispered: "Since you like him, why don't you tell him?"

Ni Jingqiu was slightly stunned, shook her head and stressed: "He is my male best friend."

Guli started the car with a slow start speed. The car slowly moved forward, "Even a fool, you can see what you think about him."

Ni Jingqiu said: "This is pretty good. If you poke the window paper through, it will be embarrassing."

Gu Li pursed and said, "What's the embarrassment? Isn't it the same thing for men and women? I really feel too tired when you see you having an ambiguous relationship."

Ni Jingqiu was stunned and smiled: "I like this feeling."

Gu Li shook her head helplessly and said, "You are so perverted that you are being abused to death, and you are still enjoying it."

Ni Jingqiu was used to Gu Li's straightforwardness. What she said was her real situation. She sighed and said, "You know me, I actually have a strong possessiveness. As a male best friend, seeing so many women around him, I can not only tolerate it, but also give him suggestions. But without this identity positioning, I am afraid I will definitely believe in all ways, clear up all obstacles, and take him for myself."

Ni Jingqiu can say this because she trusts Gu Li.

In fact, people's hearts are generally the same. When you fall in love with someone, you will never be willing to share your feelings. The struggle of the world of emotions is even more cruel than the struggle of the material world.

Guli was so amused and laughed, "You are so perverted."

Ni Jingqiu couldn't help laughing out loud. It was a very happy thing to be called a pervert!

Gu Li indirectly shows that Ni Jingqiu invested too much in her relationship with Su Tao, so that she was not like her at all.

In fact, this is also Ni Jingqiu's personality. When facing feelings, she was not as decisive as she was in the business world, otherwise she would not have been as confused and deceived by her fiancé Huo Kun.

Ni Jingqiu is a weak side in terms of emotions, but she deliberately made a strong appearance when communicating with Su Tao, which made the bystander Gu Li feel that Ni Jingqiu suppressed herself too hard.

...

Tong Zuoqing sat on the chair, frowned.

Under the arrangement of Gu Tianyang, Su Tao ran to the restaurant run by Liu Heng for dinner. The news reached Tong Zuoqing's ears, and he suddenly felt unhappy as if he had eaten a fly.

Everyone has their own friends and enemies.

Although Tong Zuoqing knows countless people and friends everywhere, he also has his own enemies.

Liu Heng can be regarded as a thorn in Tong Zuoqing's eyes. When Tong Zuoqing's teahouse business was not yet ready, Liu Heng was the number one figure. After his teahouse business improved, he was deliberately messed up several times. At that time, Tong Zuoqing had inquired about the news that it was done by Liu Heng's friend on the road.

Tong Zuoqing also knew that with Liu Heng's arrogant personality, he would never attack him. It must be his friend who took the initiative to find a place for Liu Heng, but Tong Zuoqing still secretly recorded the hatred and thought that it would be no longer too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

With the help of the past few years, he has won several popular crosstalk actors. Tong Zuoqing's teahouse has become famous, and Liu Heng's teahouse business is as declining as the rivers. Tong Zuoqing also deliberately used his own means to ruin the reputation of Liu Heng's teahouse, dig out several pillars of Liu Heng's teahouse, and also banned other actors who are unwilling to change their houses.

Liu Heng didn't care. He positioned the teahouse at a high-end position and strictly screened customers, but he could barely maintain the operation.

After all, Tong Zuoqing and Liu Heng regard teahouses as tools to accumulate connections, and the real money-making places are on other projects.

On the surface, Liu Heng's teahouse business is much worse than Tong Zuoqing's, but the information Liu Heng got from high-level people is often more effective and reliable than screening out effective information from all walks of life.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Tong Zuoqing walked out of his complicated thoughts. A woman in her forties and a boy in her 16 or 17 years old came in.

Tong Zuoqing knew that the two of them were disguised, so this was not their true colors.

"Grandma Gu, please sit down!" Tong Zuoqing said kindly with a smile on his face.

The woman in her forties is the gu mother-in-law. The wrinkles on her face have disappeared at this moment, only the charming crow's feet are hidden in the corners of her eyes.

The Gu Grandma said in a deep voice: "We are here to seek protection."

Tong Zuoqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I understand that the Fenghuo Organization is looking for you everywhere recently. But you have hidden it so well that we can't find you. Now you appear on your own, that's fine. I'm ready. If you want to go abroad, you can take the flight to leave this afternoon."
