Chapter 326 Refusing to Make Friends

That was a restaurant he frequented. It wasn't big; the entire store was only about 20 square meters with four tables.

Perhaps because it's still the Spring Festival, some vendors in the market haven't returned yet, and there's only one table of people eating in the restaurant.

Mo Haijun gestured for everyone to sit down, and because there were many people, he pulled up another table and pushed it together.

"Come on, sweetie, order whatever you want to eat. It's on your Uncle Mo." Qiao Changdong said to Mo Haijun as he sat down with Qiao Qiao in his arms.

Mo Haijun was making free egg drop soup on the food counter.

Upon hearing this, he turned his head and echoed, "Yes, my dear, don't be polite with your uncle, just order whatever you like."

“Okay, Uncle Mo is going to make a fortune this year. Qiao Qiao won’t be polite with you. Qiao Qiao will help you spend it.” Qiao Qiao said sweetly.

She looked up to take the handwritten menu that Mo Haijun handed her.

The handwritten menu was square, like a photograph, and had been laminated. Qiao Qiao had just looked up to take it when she saw four people walking in from the door.

Qiao Changdong also saw the person and immediately said, "This is really lucky. You can run into someone anywhere."

That's right, that's right.

Qiao Qiao, who was being held by Qiao Changdong, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

I encountered these four people more often than I stepped in dog poop back in the countryside.

Mo Haijun was sitting with his back to the door. When footsteps came from behind him, he didn't turn around, assuming they were just other ordinary guests.

Until someone spoke up, saying, "Comrade, we meet again."

Mo Haijun turned his head upon hearing the sound.

They were overjoyed to see that the people who walked to the table were Fu Tianyou and his group.

He opened his mouth, ready to shout: "Fu... hiss..."

After uttering a single word, I suddenly felt someone stomp on my foot, which was under the table.

It was Qiao Changdong, who was on the other side, who stepped on his foot.

Mo Haijun shuddered in pain, and when he met Qiao Changdong's furrowed brows, he realized that he had almost blurted it out.

They obtained the personal information registration form from the hotel receptionist privately and had no connection with Fu Tianyou. If they were to actually call him "Comrade Fu" at this moment, it would be difficult to explain how they would handle the situation.

When Mo Haijun was in so much pain that his mind was blank, Qiao Qiao picked up where he left off and shouted loudly.

"Pay up, pay up, Uncle Mo, pay up! I want to eat lots of delicious food!"

"Haha, okay, okay, okay, good boy, order whatever you want, Uncle will pay, Uncle will definitely pay. Order whatever you want to eat, don't be shy with Uncle!" Seeing that Qiao Qiao had helped him out of his predicament, Mo Haijun naturally kept agreeing.

At the same time, the way he looked at Qiao Qiao changed.

In his eyes, Qiao Qiao was just a little girl not even four years old, yet she could take over his conversation so smoothly and get him out of a tight spot, which really surprised him.

However, Mo Haijun concealed his surprise at Qiao Qiao and turned to greet Fu Tianyou and the others.

"It is indeed a coincidence. Are you all here to look at materials as well?" Mo Haijun asked Fu Tianyou, his eyes revealing an undisguised scrutiny.

Fu Tianyou's reputation in the jade gambling circle was so great that he simply couldn't suppress his desire to investigate him.

"Yes, yes, are you the same?"

This time, it was Qi Jintao, a middle-aged man, who spoke, his eyes equally eager.

But he couldn't tell which one Fu Tianyou was referring to as the capable one, so he could only let his gaze wander back and forth between Qiao Changdong and Wang Jun.

He completely ignored Qiao Qiao and Yan Liti.

A child and a woman are certainly not capable individuals.

After saying this, he enthusiastically introduced himself: "It is fate that we meet. My surname is Qi and my name is Qi Jintao. This is Comrade Fu, Fu Tianyou."

"Look, we've become friends through a fight, haven't we? How about I treat everyone here to a meal?"

His fawning manner was a far cry from his previous arrogance in the neighboring city.

"No need, we've already ordered." Before Mo Haijun could agree, Qiao Changdong was the first to refuse.

"Ah, well, the food hasn't been served yet. It's more fun with everyone together..." Qi Jintao still wanted to try and persuade them.

"Sorry, it's not convenient for us, and we already have a lot of people." Before Qi Jintao could finish speaking, Qiao Changdong refused again.

Even when Qiao Changdong rejected him so directly, Qi Jintao was only stunned for a moment before laughing again.

He seemed to have an incredibly good temper, and regardless of whether the person opposite him responded, he kept talking and asking and answering himself.

"Oh, okay... then next time, we're staying at the same hotel, so we can make an appointment."

"By the way, what room number are you staying in?"

"We live on the fifth floor. I'll come find you then. I'm quite familiar with Nanzhou, so if you want to explore the area, I can be your free tour guide. Anyway..."

"Comrade Qi, it's time for us to eat. The child is still young and can't go hungry." Qiao Changdong didn't expect the other party to be so shameless and interrupted him again.

This time, there were indeed kitchen helpers serving the dishes.

Unfortunately, the four of them were standing by the table, blocking the way for the kitchen staff to serve the dishes.

Since Qiao Changdong had made his point so clearly, Qi Jintao had no choice but to step aside, even if he was unwilling.

When he followed Fu Tianyou to sit at another table, he kept glancing over here.

The goal is to observe and identify which person on the other side is the most capable.

However, among Qiao Changdong's group, there were five men. Apart from Mo Haijun, who was a little weak, the others were all strong men who looked very powerful.

Qi Jintao certainly had his doubts about Mo Haijun, but Mo Haijun was clearly the most enthusiastic among that group, and didn't seem like a capable person with great skills.

Take Fu Tianyou, for example. Despite his easygoing appearance, he actually put in a lot of effort when he went to ask people for help.

In other words, they appear refined and cultured, but are actually quite arrogant.

Therefore, he felt that the most capable person in that group was most likely Qiao Changdong.

This is why, even though Qiao Changdong spoke to him so rudely, he not only didn't get angry, but also spoke to him politely.

Those who are capable have the right to be arrogant!

In the time that followed, no matter how much Qi Jintao wanted to make friends with Qiao Changdong, Qiao Changdong wouldn't respond, so Qi Jintao had to temporarily put his mind to it.

As for Mo Haijun, he wasn't stupid either. Qiao Changdong's attitude was so obvious during the meal, how could he not see it?

Mo Haijun had doubts, but no matter how curious he was about Tianyou, he wanted to befriend him.

He could still distinguish between close and distant relationships, so after seeing Qiao Changdong's attitude, he stopped paying attention to Qi Jintao's occasional attempts to stir up trouble.
