Chapter 1255 Specializing in Scamming His Younger Brother
"Heh, a clothing company? Is that even considered a business? Do you know why those people aren't expanding now? It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't! Our family isn't completely cut off from having any, but we can't expand either! As for a shipping company? How many private companies have you seen doing this kind of asset-heavy business? This kind of asset-heavy industry has a slow return on investment and low returns! If the higher-ups knew our family was doing this kind of business, everyone would give us a thumbs up!" Wei Hong said, rolling her eyes.
Wei Qing made a move this time. It turns out it's a thankless and arduous industry. Even if they're not allowed to do business now, if you do it, the higher-ups won't care, and might even encourage you to do it.
"Alas, we really have no choice in the matter!" Wei Qing sighed.
"Alright, what's this about not having a choice? You're just being hypocritical! You're not short of money, and someone has to do this kind of business! The reason Dad let our family get into this industry is for the sake of the family! This is our security!" Wei Hong said.
Soon, Wei Qing brought Wei Hong to Zhang's Private Kitchen on Huanghe Road. However, when they arrived at the entrance, Wei Hong saw Xu Banxia and a young man looking around.
"See those two people standing at the door? That girl is Xu Banxia, the one I was talking about!" Wei Hong said.
Wei Qing looked towards the entrance of Zhang's shop and spotted Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou.
"No, sister, this little girl is too young!" Wei Qing couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, if I'm too old, I won't be worth investing in anymore! Just drop me off at the door!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Was that your investment?" But Wei Qing could only think this to himself; he dared not say it aloud in front of his older sister.
"Xiao Xu!" Wei Hong called out after getting out of the car.
Xu Banxia turned around and saw Wei Hong, and immediately greeted her warmly.
"Sister Zhao!"
"Why don't you go in?" Wei Hong asked curiously.
"Sister Zhao, they said they won't let us in without an appointment!" Xu Banxia said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Haha, sorry, I forgot. This is my younger brother, Wei Qing. Come on, I'll take you inside!" Wei Hong then remembered that Zhang's Private Kitchen did not allow entry without a reservation, so she said with a smile.
"Hello, Sister Zhao and Mr. Zhao, this is my partner, Chen Yuzhou. You can call him Xiao Chen!" Xu Banxia nodded to Wei Qing first, then quickly introduced Chen Yuzhou to the two of them.
“Miss Xu, my surname is Ye, and I take my mother’s surname!” Wei Qing could only remind her when he heard Xu Banxia call him Mr. Zhao.
"Oh? I'm so sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn't know!" Xu Banxia had no choice but to quickly admit her mistake.
"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse!" Wei Qing nodded and said.
"Alright, go back to your own company and flaunt your official power when you have time! I said you're my brother, so it's perfectly fine for Xiao Xu to call you Mr. Zhao!" Wei Hong said, patting Wei Qing on the shoulder.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Chen, let's go inside and talk!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Big sister, Lao Tan and A Bao are here! Let's go in together!" Wei Qing said to Wei Hong as she saw Tan Zongming and A Bao's car coming from the intersection.
“Okay!” Wei Hong saw A Bao’s car approaching and said. Of course, she only recognized A Bao’s car; she didn’t recognize Tan Zongming’s car.
Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou, who were about to turn around and leave, stopped and stood behind Wei Hong to wait.
After Tan Zongming and A Bao got out of the car, they ran straight to Wei Hong.
"Big sister, Wei Qing, why aren't you going in? I'm so sorry to have you two waiting here!" A Bao said first.
"Yes, Mrs. Yang, Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry we're late!" Tan Zongming quickly explained.
"It's alright, we just arrived. Besides, we had something come up and asked you to come, so it's only right that we wait for you. Now that you're all here, let's go in together!" Wei Hong waved her hand with a smile and walked into Zhang's shop first.
Seeing this, Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou could only follow Wei Hong into Zhang's shop.
"Wei Qing, what's going on? Why did Big Sister suddenly call the two of us over for dinner? Is there something important to take care of?" A Bao stepped forward and put his arm around Wei Qing's shoulder to ask.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, is there something important happening today? This came so suddenly, I wasn't prepared at all!" Tan Zongming asked curiously in a low voice.
"Don't worry, you two! It's nothing serious! It's just that my older sister has a small favor to ask and needs your help!" Of course, Wei Qing couldn't directly reveal Wei Hong's purpose; he felt the matter was a bit unreliable, so he could only tell his older sister.
Upon hearing this, A Bao and Tan Zongming both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Wei Qing's expression, it was clear that he had called them here for a small matter; if it were anything more important, Wei Qing would have informed them first.
It wasn't that the two found it troublesome, but rather that this was the first time Wei Hong had formally invited them to dinner, and the place was Zhang Ji's. Others might not know, but the two of them certainly did. This eldest daughter of the Zhao family was someone who rarely spoke up; she was the leading figure of the second generation of the Zhao family, and many of her opinions could directly represent the Zhao family patriarch's!
Hearing the whispers of the three people behind them, Xu Banxia and Chen Yuzhou felt uneasy. Xu Banxia, in particular, was not sure if this older sister she had only met on a plane in South Korea could help her out of her predicament.
Soon, the group entered Zhang Ji's lobby. A waiter immediately came over and was taken aback when he saw Xu Banxia following Wei Hong in.
"Aren't these the two out-of-towners who just came in wanting to reserve a table? Why are they coming in again?" The waiter thought to himself, but when he saw Wei Hong leading the way in, he immediately put on his most enthusiastic smile and came over.
"Madam Yang, you've arrived? May I ask if you'll be sitting in the 'Wealth and Prosperity' chair again today?"
"We don't have many people today, so we won't have the 'Blooming Prosperity' banquet. A smaller private room will be fine!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Then let's sit at Eight Directions Fortune! There are just enough for you!" The waiter glanced around and, seeing that there were only six of them, said to Wei Hong.
“Okay, tell Master Zhang to put the six of us at one table, and then put it on my brother’s tab!” Wei Hong said.
"Yes, Mrs. Yang!" the waiter said, unsurprised.
Upon hearing Wei Hong's words, A Bao and Tan Zongming behind her could only grin silently, while Wei Qing rolled her eyes and didn't dare to say anything.
He finally realized that his older sister was treating him like a Japanese soldier. It was one thing for her to ask him to be involved in finding investors, but now she was even making him pay for a meal.
