Career Challenge: What does it mean when you wear a hood? - Chapter 156: The reception banquet will lead to disaster!

Six o’clock in the evening.

There was a knock on the door outside Zhao Ming’s room.

Hearing this movement, Zhao Ming, who had already woken up, looked slightly solemn.

After frowning slightly, he stood up.

He grabbed the bath towel on the bedside table, wrapped it around himself, and walked towards the door of the room.

Shu Ruochu had already woken up.

At this time, he pulled the quilt tightly over himself and watched the movement on the other side of the door vigilantly.

Zhao Ming opened the door a crack and stood behind the door, looking through the crack with a cold expression.

At this moment, standing outside the door was Zhang Tao, who was wearing a floral shirt and a python tattoo on his neck.

“Ha ha!”

“Brother Yong, how are you resting?”

“Brother, I didn’t disturb your good things, did I?”

Zhang Tao saw Zhao Ming’s cold expression through the crack in the door, but he laughed indifferently.

He showed his smoke-blackened teeth and made a joke.

Saw this look.

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Ming’s face, but he did not respond to him.

“Didn’t Mr. Zhao tell me, brother, that I have to entertain you well?”

“That’s why my brother has specially prepared a few banquets tonight to give you a break.”

“How about we have a few drinks?”

Zhang Tao spoke cheerfully again.

Faced with Zhao Ming’s attitude, he still didn’t show the slightest displeasure.

“Then let me change my clothes.”

Zhao Ming didn’t hesitate much and nodded in response.

Then he closed the door directly.

Although Zhao Ming is really worried about whether his identity has been exposed.

But since Zhang Tao has reached the point of blocking the door and inviting himself to the reception banquet.

Then there seems to be no room for rejection.

therefore.

Although Zhao Ming has no interest in this so-called reception banquet.

But he could only bite the bullet and agree.

Under Shu Ruochu’s gaze, Zhao Ming walked to the bed, picked up the clothes from before and started to put them on.

After putting on the T-shirt, he took off the towel wrapped around his lower body without hesitation.

And at this time.

Shu Ruochu still stared at Zhao Ming with curiosity.

It wasn’t until Zhao Ming took off his bath towel and saw the scene in front of him that her eyes widened and she quickly avoided her gaze.

at the same time.

A blush appeared on that delicate face.

“Is this person… wearing nothing when sleeping?”

Shu Ruochu couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

When she came out of the bathroom, Zhao Ming had already covered herself with quilt and was lying on the bed.

therefore.

Naturally, she didn’t know what kind of state Zhao Ming was in.

Although I also expected that something would happen.

But I knew that Zhao Ming was so…”honest”!

She was still a little confused for a moment.

at this time.

Zhao Ming seemed to be unaware of Shu Ruochu’s reaction.

He just put on his clothes quickly.

Only then did he look back at Shu Ruochu, who was still wrapping himself tightly in the quilt.

“Hurry up and change your clothes and go out with me.”

Zhao Ming looked at Shu Ruochu and spoke coldly in a commanding tone.

Hear the words.

Shu Ruochu nodded quickly.

Without any nonsense, he lifted the quilt and stood up.

Although she always wrapped herself tightly in quilt.

But she was not as calm as Zhao Ming.

After taking a bath before, she put on a clean women’s bathrobe in the bathroom.

But just as she was about to reach out to take off her bathrobe and change into clothes, she seemed to have thought of something, and her slender white hands froze slightly.

“Gu…”

She swallowed and looked back at Zhao Ming, who was standing on the other side of the bed.

as expected.

Zhao Ming was staring at him calmly.

“What about that, if it’s convenient for you… can you avoid it?”

Shu Ruochu smiled slightly awkwardly and asked in a tentative tone.

What she said was very unconfident.

after all.

She also knew that she and Zhao Ming were now in the “dragon pond and tiger’s den”.

If they were not careful and Zhao Ming’s disguised identity was exposed, both of them would lose their lives at any time.

therefore.

In order to save her own life, she must assist Zhao Ming as much as possible.

It is precisely because of this that it is a bit too ignorant for me to still care about this under such circumstances.

“Um!”

But after Zhao Ming listened to her words.

He nodded calmly in response, then turned around and stopped looking here.

Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to take advantage of it but not take advantage of it. He was a bastard and thought about taking the opportunity to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Who knew that his thoughts seemed to be seen through by the other party.

For a while.

I felt a little embarrassed in my heart.

But with his psychological quality, he was naturally able to keep his face as calm as water.

“Forehead……”

“Thanks.”

Looking at Zhao Ming, this can be called a textbook avoidance.

Shu Ruochu felt a little ashamed for a moment.

But there was still a smile on his face and he responded to Zhao Ming.

Then he stopped being coy.

I started to put on my clothes generously.

…

Outside the door.

Zhang Tao was leaning against the wall nearby, smoking a cigarette with a calm expression.

“Gah…”

It was at this time that the door next to him was pushed open.

Zhao Ming, disguised as Chen Yong, walked out.

Shu Ruochu, on the other hand, followed closely behind him, looking submissive and cautious.

Zhang Tao first glanced at Shu Ruochu, and then returned to Zhao Ming, with a lewd smile on his face.

“Brother Yong, how are you?”

“Are you satisfied with the gift my brother prepared for you?”

Zhang Tao took two steps forward, put one hand on Zhao Ming’s shoulder, and asked cheerfully.

Hear the words.

Zhao Ming also smiled.

“satisfy.”

“It’s just that the technology is still a little bit behind.”

Zhao Ming and Zhang Tao walked forward side by side and responded casually.

Hear this.

Zhang Tao laughed and patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder.

“Brother Yong, you just don’t understand your brother’s kindness, right?”

“I didn’t hear that you were coming back. My brother just picked it out from the newly sent newcomers and didn’t even touch it.”

“It’s precisely because it’s clean that the technique is not up to par!”

“Anyway, we have plenty of time, so it’s fun to train yourself slowly!”

Zhang Tao spoke cheerfully, dancing a little while speaking, looking extremely excited.

Even though it is said so.

But in his heart, Zhang Tao had some contempt for Zhao Ming.

I muttered to myself: As long as your ten seconds of effort, it doesn’t matter whether your technique is good or not!

at this time.

Shu Ruochu followed the two of them, listening to the dirty talk they discussed, and naturally felt extremely disgusted with Zhang Tao in his heart.

But she didn’t dare to show too much.

He just lowered his head, still looking submissive.

After hearing Zhang Tao’s words, Zhao Ming just smiled and did not respond.

And Zhang Tao brought up some topics and continued chatting with Zhao Ming, appearing quite intimate.

He seemed to regard Zhao Ming as a good brother.

Regarding Zhang Tao’s attitude, Zhao Ming was even more wary.

…

Almost ten minutes later.

Zhao Ming and Shu Ruochu, led by Zhang Tao, came to an open space.

At this time, there were several tables placed on this open space.

A canopy was set up above the table, and there were many flower baskets not far away with colored lanterns hung on them.

It seems to have been carefully arranged.

When Zhao Ming and the others arrived, several tables were almost full of people.

Only two seats were specially reserved for Zhao Ming and the others.

And on the edge of the square, there were soldiers with guns patrolling.

Zhao Ming glanced briefly and saw that there were about twenty soldiers patrolling.

See this situation.

Zhao Ming couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but the expression on his face remained calm.

“Pa bang bang…”

Zhang Tao led Zhao Ming towards several tables and clapped his hands with a smile on his face.

There were already many people watching the three of them.

And this burst of applause naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

They all looked back.

“Everyone, please stop what you are doing. Now let’s welcome today’s protagonist!”

“I believe most people are familiar with this.”

“He is…Chen Yong!”

“Brother Yong’s skills are among the best in the group. He used to be a bodyguard with Mr. Zheng Jianghe.”

“Now that Mr. Zheng is dead, such a talent group will naturally not bury him.”

“That’s why we specially asked Brother Yong to come to our park.”

“Next, Brother Yong will be responsible for the arrangements for our park.”

“Everyone expressed their support.”

Zhang Tao spoke cheerfully, standing sideways next to Zhao Ming while speaking.

It does look like Zhao Ming is the protagonist.

When he said these words, everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Zhao Ming.

And among these glances were also mixed several unkind glances.

obviously.

Those who cast unkind glances at Zhao Ming, who was disguised as Chen Yong, were most likely from Zheng Jianghe’s group.

Everyone has heard more or less that it was Chen Yong who killed Zheng Jianghe.

Therefore, the hostility towards Chen Yong is naturally not small.

When Zhao Ming faced these looks, he remained extremely calm, even with a faint smile on his face.

It was as if he didn’t notice the hostile gaze at all.

Although there are not a few people who are hostile to Zhao Ming who is disguised as Chen Yong.

But after Zhang Tao finished speaking, there was a burst of thunderous applause in the square.

The applause lasted for more than ten seconds.

Zhang Taozhicai pressed his right hand in the void to signal everyone to stop.

The applause also stopped abruptly.

“The people here are all the leaders of our park, large and small.”

“We won’t waste everyone’s time for eating today. When I have time, I will introduce you to each other one by one.”

“Let’s take a seat!”

Zhang Tao looked back at Zhao Ming and said cheerfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly asked Zhao Ming to take a seat at the vacant seat at the main table.

There were only two empty seats at the main table, and it was obvious that there was no room left for Shu Ruochu.

after all.

She was just a gift from Zhang Tao to Zhao Ming.

Zhang Tao naturally would not have thought that Zhao Ming would bring her to this reception banquet.

But since the person has been brought, Zhang Tao obviously will not directly refute Zhao Ming’s face.

He then motioned to the patrolling soldiers to add a seat and asked Shu Ruochu to sit next to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming brought Shu Ruochu, whom he had just met, to attend the reception banquet.

Zhang Tao was indeed a little surprised.

But he didn’t think much about it.

I just thought that this “Chen Yong” had never seen much of the world, and he was so attracted to a random woman.

Mainly because he would not have thought that these two people would have known each other in China.

“Let’s serve!”

“By the way, bring out all my good wine.”

“I have to have a few drinks with Brother Yong tonight.”

After sitting down, Zhang Tao turned around and gave instructions to a soldier holding a gun not far behind him.

Hear the words.

The soldier responded and hurried to tell the food to be served.

At this time, there were thirty or forty people sitting at several tables.

But except for Zhang Tao, almost no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere seemed unusually quiet.

“Brother Yong, originally your reception banquet had to be held in a five-star hotel.”

“But the location of our park is really a bit remote, and it’s really inconvenient to go out to eat.”

“So I can only make you feel aggrieved.”

Zhang Tao didn’t care about the eerily quiet atmosphere.

At the moment, I just watched Zhao Ming speak cheerfully.

While speaking, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, grinning while showing his burnt-yellow teeth.

“fine!”

“I don’t care about superficial things.”

Zhao Ming smiled and responded with a calm expression.

Although there was no abnormality on his face, Zhao Ming’s heart sank.

This kind of welcoming banquet is already considered a big fanfare.

after all.

These tables are already filled with leaders of all sizes in the entire park.

Basically, everyone in the park already knows about this feast.

Chen Yong is Zheng Jianghe’s bodyguard.

Even if Zheng Jianghe’s death was really not his fault, then he would at least be charged with insufficient protection.

Even if he doesn’t apologize when he returns to the group, he will at least be punished.

But when Chen Yong came back, he not only had no intention of being blamed.

Instead, he was promoted immediately and held such a grand reception banquet.

Doesn’t this mean that Chen Yong played a major role in Zheng Jianghe’s death?

Zhao Ming didn’t know whether Zhang Tao had Mr. Zhao’s intention behind doing this.

But this move is not a clever way to divert trouble to the east, and the effect is indeed very good.

This Jie Feng Banquet naturally directed all the anger of Zheng Jianghe’s faction towards himself.

At this time, although Zhao Ming felt like a mirror.

But on the surface, I can only continue to act stupid and stunned, pretending to be completely ignorant.

after all.

Now is not the time to fall out.

“Ha ha……”

“Brother Yong is generous, this brother must give you a toast.”

Zhang Tao smiled generously.

At this time, two pretty women were coming over with bottles of liquor.

Zhang Tao took a bottle, opened the package, unscrewed the cap and poured wine into his glass.

“Done!”

After filling the wine glasses in front of him and Zhao Ming.

He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Ming smiled and drank the wine in his glass.

“How’s the wine?”

Zhang Tao put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.

Hear the words.

Zhao Ming nodded.

“The wine is quite good.”

“It’s just… Manager Zhang, let’s have a drink. Do we need so many people guarding us with guns?”

“Is it possible that we have to guard against someone else in the park?”

Zhao Ming smacked his lips, as if after savoring the aroma of the wine, he spoke meaningfully.
