Chapter 117: Take a stand

"Sorry everyone, three aces with a pair of 2." Zhou Hao put his last five cards on the table.
The fruit seller on the opposite side said bitterly: "Damn, true evil, you got all three Aces. Fortunately, there are not many. I only lose seven." He threw down the seven cards in his hand.
"I'm okay, just five." Chai Ge said with a grin, then looked at the ten cards in Zhou Lichang's hand, "Wow, Lao Zhou, you doubled, tripled, more than 30,000, you still It's really unlucky."
"It's okay, it's all my family anyway." Zhou Lichang smiled.
After more than ten games, he has lost more than half a million to Zhou Hao. And Chai and the fruit-selling man have lost and lost, and they also lost a few thousand yuan to Zhou Hao. At this time, Zhou Hao looked up at the clock on the wall, and smiled at Brother Chai and the others: "It's almost noon, I'll stop here, my mother will be nagging if I continue playing."
At this time, Yan Tong was brought to the room upstairs by Xu Yongwei to chat, so he didn't know Zhou Hao and the others were playing cards below.
And Chai Ge also said: "Well, anyway, Mr. Zhou, you have won a lot of money."
The friends of Zhou Lichang next to him patted him and laughed and said, "Lao Zhou, you are really unfavorable for a passing year. You lost hundreds of thousands on the first day of the new year."
"Uncle, it's almost noon, I think Mom and I should leave first, so I won't disturb you." Zhou Hao said.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhou Lichang hurriedly said: "I ordered two tables of dishes at Tianbin Hotel. Let's go over to have a meal together." Then he said to Zhou Hao: "Xiaohao, it's rare to see each other once. Have a meal."
Zhou Hao thought for a while but didn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Well, I'll go up and call my mother."
"Okay, you go quickly." Zhou Lichang asked someone to take a handbag and hand it to Zhou Hao. "By the way, Xiaohao, this is the money I just lost to you. You take it."
Zhou Hao didn't refuse, so he took the handbag and went upstairs to call Yan Tong.
Brother Chai put on Zhou Lichang's shoulders and smiled at him at this time: "Lao Zhou, it's great, such a generous gift to your nephew, and I think he can be regarded as accepting your love if he takes your money, hehe, in the future Feihuang Tengda, don't forget me, brother."
Zhou Lichang looked at Brother Chai in surprise, "Brother Chai, did you see it just now?"
"Who can't tell, your mother has a set of three and two 2s. Didn't it mean to let your nephew? You forgot? My old Chai grew up in a casino. You still don’t see any tricks. Come out?" Chai Ge smiled smugly.
At this time, Zhou Hao had already come down with Yan Tong, Zhou Lichang immediately said, "Well, let's all go to Tianbin Hotel." He looked at Zhou Hao and Yan Tong, "Xiaohao, Atong, you are sitting on mine. Is the car still Yongwei's car?" Their family has two cars.
Yan Tong smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, no, we have our own car."
"You also have a car?" Xu Yongwei next to her was a bit shocked, but it was right to think about it. People are making so much money now, so buying a car is justified.
When a group of people came outside the house, Zhou Lichang saw Yan Tong's car, which was actually a higher-end "Audi" than his Honda, and he knew that that style was not available in China, and it was even more of Zhou Hao's. Surprised by the way.
In his car, Zhou Zhihao in the back seat looked at Zhou Hao's car and his eyes widened and said: "Dad, brother, they also have a car, but their car is definitely not as good as ours."
Zhou Lichang did not answer, but asked Xu Yongwei in the passenger seat next to him: "What did you say to A Tong just now?"
"No, I asked her about their restaurant." Xu Yongwei said: "Li Chang, it turns out that they not only opened eight Mrs. Zhou restaurants, but also a few cake shops, and ah, I heard from Ah Tong that they had In some days, restaurants and cake shops will be corporatized and grouped, and in the future we will have to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to develop in those big cities."
Zhou Lichang sighed for a long time, "It's really unexpected that they will have such a big result just how long has passed."
"Li Chang, I just told A Tong." Xu Yongwei said to her husband: "I asked her if she could let our family invest some money in their company to count shares. After all, everyone is a relative. But, hum The guy Atong actually said that their company’s shares had been allocated, and there was a woman named Lu Shiping who actually took up 30% of the shares." Her face was full of anger, "What do they think? Yeah, aren't we relatives as good as those of other surnames?"
"You...you are really a woman's opinion!" Zhou Lichang couldn't help cursing after hearing Xu Yongwei's words.
From the words of Chai Ge, Zhou Hao and their restaurant business is very good, and now they heard that they are going to corporatize the restaurant and cake shop, and the future development will be very broad. Xu Yongwei also took this point and wanted to take advantage of it. Get some shares. However, Zhou Lichang knew in his heart that although his family had lent money to Zhou Hao before, his attitude was similar to that of charity, and he had always looked down on others. People used to have little strength, but now they are not only rich, they are also familiar with Huo Liangwen Xiangdong and even high-ranking government officials. Zhou Hao is already very good if he doesn’t remember the old evils. Now Xu Yongwei is still greedy and wants to occupy other people’s companies. Of shares.
If Zhou Hao gets angry, as long as he tells Huo Liang or Wen Xiangdong, then Zhou Lichang doesn't have to hang around in Xiangcheng anymore, so Zhou Lichang is so angry with Xu Yongwei.
"What are you doing, I'm just for the good of our family." Xu Yongwei didn't know what was wrong with her, "Huh! What's so great about their company, it's okay to bless their business failure and bankruptcy." Suddenly, her face There was a bit of joy again, "To Lichang, Zhou Hao said just now that it was my birthday two days ago, so he gave me more than 500,000 yuan. Their family is really rich now, and they only give it for their birthday. Give me so much money."
Zhou Lichang's eyes widened, "You, how much do you say?"
"It's more than half a million. I've seen it. It seems to be five hundred thirty-four thousand." Xu Yongwei smiled and said: "What's the matter, you don't have to be happy to be like this."
"Damn!" Zhou Li often turned the steering wheel fiercely. Those should be the money he deliberately lost to Zhou Hao. Now Zhou Hao returned it back indirectly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In this uneasy mood, Zhou Lichang and the others came to the Tianbin Hotel. After putting the car away, Chai Ge and the others went in first, but Zhou Hao deliberately left behind and walked beside Zhou Lichang.
Zhou Lichang smiled and said, "Xiaohao, your aunt's birthday is only, you don't need to give such a big gift."
However, Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled: "Uncle, I actually know what you mean. Hehe, what I want to say is, let it pass the past, uncle, you don't need to care so much."
Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Zhou Lichang immediately let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, nodded and smiled hurriedly: "Yeah, yeah, just wipe the past things like chalk, and none of us care about it."
"As for my aunt, I told my mother that I want to invest in our company." Zhou Hao said again: "Uncle, to be honest, we are all a family, and the fat and water does not flow into the outsiders' fields. But uncle, the company is not our own, others We also have a part. We can’t decide on the company’s affairs without authorization. So uncle, please explain to your aunt, so that she won’t get sick."
"Of course, it's actually her own recklessness." Zhou Lichang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I will tell her when I go back, Xiaohao, don't take it to heart." In fact, Zhou Lichang knows that Zhou Hao has already stated In view of his own position, Zhou Hao would not stumble and let him step on, nor would he care about previous things with him. It was a signal that Zhou Hao returned the money he won before. However, Zhou Hao also made it clear that, with regard to Zhou Hao's company, it is best for the family to do less.
Zhou Hao knew that Zhou Lichang had been in business for so many years and was a sensible person, so he smiled at him: "Okay, uncle, everyone is waiting for us inside, let's go in."
"Good, good." Zhou Lichang quickly laughed, and walked into the Tianbin Hotel with Zhou Hao.
Zhou Li often comes here for business talks, so he is also a regular guest of Tianbin Hotel, and several managers of the hotel recognize him. However, compared to Zhou Lichang, the people at Tianbin Hotel were more impressed by Zhou Hao. Because Fan Lize, the owner of Tianbin Hotel, had already told them that if Zhou Hao came to Tianbin Hotel, he must provide the best service without charging any fees. Therefore, everyone at Tianbin Hotel understands that Zhou Hao is the owner's most distinguished guest. Even the officials who often come here for dinner but report public expenses can't compare with it.
Therefore, as soon as the manager in the lobby saw Zhou Hao, he hurried over to say hello in person, "Mr. Zhou, are you here?"
Zhou Lichang thought that the manager was calling himself, so he responded with a smile: "Yes, this is the first day of the new year, so the family came to have a meal, hehe, this is my nephew."
The lobby manager was stunned, looking at Zhou Hao and Zhou Lichang strangely. Zhou Hao nodded and smiled at him slightly, and the lobby manager thought, since he is Zhou Hao's elder, of course he should serve him well. He smiled at the two of them and said, "You are really welcome. We have already reserved the best room for them. Please come with me."
"Huh? Didn't I book the "Narcissus" room?" Zhou Li often asked in confusion.
The manager quickly said: "We were negligent. How can we use ‘Daffodils’ to greet Mr. Zhou? We have already reserved the ‘Peony’ room on the top floor for the two of us. Please go up there."
In fact, the "Mr. Zhou" in the manager's mouth refers to Zhou Hao, but Zhou Lichang thought he was referring to himself, and wondered why this manager became so interesting today? However, the manager's respect made him a face in front of Zhou Hao, so he said to Zhou Hao: "Since the manager is so enthusiastic, then we are not welcome."
"It's okay for me, uncle, you've made up your mind." Zhou Hao smiled slightly.
