Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 165 The lion opens its mouth



Chapter 165 The lion opens its mouth

Huang Yao was really not polite. There were five people sitting at the table for six: Ning Yuan, Huang Yao, Zhang Haiyang, Fan Xinhua and Zou Cheng.

He ordered eleven dishes in one breath before stopping. Ning Yuan watched Huang Yao angrily reporting the names of the dishes to the waiter standing beside him, but he didn't stop him. After all, someone was paying for it!

After ordering, Ning Yuan, Zhang Haiyang and others also took a look at the menu. It was okay. It seemed that this bastard was also a regular customer of Lao Mo. He ordered all the signature dishes and even ordered a fruit platter and ice cream.

They didn't add any more.

"Comrade, please serve the dishes we just ordered to the two tables next to us!"

Ning Yuan closed the menu and handed it to the waiter standing beside him.

The waitress was used to these guys' extravagant spending, so she nodded and went straight to the front desk to place the order.

"Section Chief Huang seems to be a regular at Lao Mo's. If he hadn't eaten here thirty or fifty times, he wouldn't be able to order the dishes at all!"

Fatty Fan was already a little unhappy with the attitude he showed towards Ning Yuan, so he took the opportunity of ordering food to ridicule him.

After hearing Fatty Fan's suggestive words, Huang Yao glanced at him coldly, then looked directly at Ning Yuan.

"Brother Ning, is this the reason you asked me to come here today?"

Ning Yuan smiled and waved at Fatty Fan, signaling him to stop.

"How could that be? Chief Huang, I asked you to come here today because I need your help with something!"

Ning Yuan did not feel any dissatisfaction with the fat man's behavior of confronting Huang Yao, nor did he feel that the fat man had disrupted his plans.

He hadn't originally intended to cooperate with Huang Yao in a respectful manner. Just look at how he brought more than 200 people to confront Huang Yao and his 20 men yesterday.

Since they were thinking about equal cooperation, Ning Yuan certainly had no obligation to indulge him. When the fat man criticized Huang Yao, Ning Yuan even felt a little relieved!

So Huang Yao didn't mention the fat man's remarks at all, just skipped over them and stated his own purpose.

"Hehe, the attitude you young people have when asking for help is really rare! Anyway, I, Old Huang, have never seen anyone asking for help with such an attitude!"

Huang Yao was indeed a narrow-minded person. He kept harping on Fatty Fan's words and kept forcing Ning Yuan.

Fatty Fan is usually cheerful, but this guy is a person who won't give in. I was just unhappy with him for openly and secretly criticizing Ning Yuan, and now he's acting like this again.

"Bang" sound!

The fat man slammed the table and prepared to stand up.

It was Zoucheng who grabbed the fat man!

Ning Yuan's face, which had been smiling just now, gradually became serious.

"Alright, everyone, calm down! Old Huang, let's get straight to the point. I asked you to come here today so that you can help take care of our parents, you see~"

"Oh, I dare not say that! I, Old Huang, don't have the right to decide who to take care of and who not to take care of!"

Huang Yao looked at Ning Yuan with a righteous expression.

"Haha, okay, Old Huang, you already have some idea of my personality and character. Let's be frank. I'll give you fifty yuan a month, and you can use it to buy cigarettes. How about that?"

Ning Yuan smiled. He certainly knew that every person in power would act righteous when they did not see any tangible benefits.

So, he started to negotiate the terms directly. Don't be impatient!

"Hey, how can I afford to smoke a fifty-yuan cigarette? It's not that Old Huang doesn't take care of you, it's just that, alas, I can't do anything!"

Huang Yao said this nonchalantly while calling the waiter and urging them to serve the food.

Fatty Fan and Zou Cheng looked at each other and clenched their fists at Huang Yao's expression, which looked like he wanted to get beaten. If Ning Yuan hadn't just told them not to get anxious, Fatty Fan would have wanted to punch this bastard twice.

Ning Yuan looked at Huang Yao's expression, smacked his lips and nodded.

"Eighty a month?"

After saying this, Huang Yao pretended not to hear it and lowered his head to drink a sip of water.

Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Huang Yao, then held his breath and calmed down.

Of course he knew that what his grandson had just said was all nonsense. If he didn't have some status, how could he be the one to take the lead in investigating Pan Changzhu's disappearance?

He believed that Su Xiaoqiang, whom he had befriended before, did not have the ability to take care of their parents, but he did not believe that the grandson in front of him did not have that right.

Moreover, Huang Yao is also a smart man. Yesterday, Ning Yuan just said to him, "Let's meet Lao Mo tomorrow. I have prepared something for you!"

He changed his clothes and came over alone!

Didn't he know what Ning Yuan wanted him to do? Besides protecting their parents, what else could it be?

Coincidentally, he was the one who had the final say on this matter, so he sat here calmly and ordered dishes without any hesitation. Even after having witnessed Ning Yuan's power yesterday, he still dared to provoke him openly or secretly.

Ning Yuan also understood all these details, so he spoke to him politely.

Otherwise, with his attitude just now, even if Ning Yuan didn't take action himself, the guys around him would have been unable to hold back.

Seeing that Huang Yao remained as steady as a rock after hearing his offer of eighty yuan a month, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"Old Huang, I'll give you 100 yuan a month. I understand you need to manage your finances, but that's a lot, right? It's over 1,000 yuan a year!"

Ning Yuan suppressed his gradually rising anger and even forced a smile as he spoke to Huang Yao.

"Oh, look at what's happened. I don't even dare to eat! I really can't do it!"

Huang Yao looked aggrieved and even pretended to get up and leave.

But at this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. Ning Yuan sat on the chair and looked at him coldly. Fatty Fan, Zhang Haiyang and others next to him did not have Ning Yuan's order, so naturally no one stopped them.

The scene was at a stalemate.

Huang Yao's mind raced, and after pondering for a moment, he finally sat down.

"Brother Ning, it's not that I, Old Huang, don't want to do it, it's just that everyone is watching!"

Ning Yuan snorted coldly: "Then tell me a number!"

"Two hundred, give me two hundred a month, and I'll take care of the affairs of the adults in our family!"

Huang Yao asked for a huge amount of money.

Ning Yuan was also shocked by this number. He thought that his grandson was greedy for money, but he didn't expect him to be so bold.

It would be fine if it was just a small matter, but this is more than two thousand yuan a year. More than two thousand, at the current price, is enough for his whole family to have enough food and drink for five years!

How dare you ask for it!
