Chapter 465: Other intentions
Su Lin wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhou Hongyu's attitude, he had to go.
It was a free dinner anyway, so he would have to eat it if he didn't. It was like coming here for nothing. Even if he wanted to stop him, he couldn't stop him.
What's more, how could someone as shrewd as the head of the Zhou family think of offending him?
"Okay, let's go and see what delicious dishes your Zhou family has prepared."
Banqiu stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two, with a puzzled look on her face.
She thought, how could Su Lin change his face faster than turning a page of a book? Just now he said he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now he was going to eat again, which was simply a contradiction.
But she could only follow.
Banqiu understood a truth. If she wanted to stay with Su Lin for a long time, she had to learn to read his heart.
So she kept thinking, what was going on?
In a blink of an eye, the two had arrived at the lobby of the Zhou family, where a long table with bowls and chopsticks had been set up.
All the senior members of the Zhou family were present, including Zhou Gui, who was beaten black and blue.
He stared at Su Lin with anger. He was his lifelong enemy. He thought to himself: If I get the chance, I will make you pay double!
The dinner was full of gunpowder. Several pairs of eyes crossed, which made Banqiu feel uncomfortable. She couldn't eat at all.
"Brother Su Lin."
Banqiu pulled Su Lin's sleeve, trying to show that she was not used to the environment here.
"You go out for a walk first."
Su Lin didn't force it when he saw this.
He was not afraid at all. He just treated it as an outsider and watched the brothers Zhou Zhiwen and Zhou Zhiwu confront each other.
Finally, this scene was broken by the arrival of the head of the Zhou family.
"Father, why did you come here in person?"
At this time, the head of the Zhou family was wearing noble clothes to show his solemnity, which made Zhou Zhiwen very worried about his physical condition.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Zhou family just waved his hand to show that it was okay, and ignored the others, focusing his attention entirely on Su Lin.
After all, the purpose of this banquet was to win over Su Lin and make him feel good about the Zhou family.
So he lowered his posture, poured himself a full glass of wine, and toasted to Su Lin: "Dr. Su, this time it's really thanks to you for saving my life."
He was also risking his life. In this state, even a post-natal warrior is not suitable for drinking.
I'm afraid that after a few glasses of poison, he will have to lie down on the bed again. It's much easier to ruin your body than to cultivate yourself, which made Su Lin unbearable.
So he hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Zhou, this is not necessary."
Seeing that Su Lin was still refusing, the head of the Zhou family thought that he had not done his job well, so he immediately brought out all kinds of benefits, just to get a little bit.
"Doctor Su, now our Zhou family can only rely on you. No matter what, help us complete the martial arts competition in a few days."
This sentence finally exposed his true purpose, which made Su Lin confused.
Martial arts competition? What martial arts competition?
Zhou Hongyu explained on the side: "In our Yuhua City, there are very few cultivation resources, so every year we select the strongest warriors to go to the secret realm for trial, and the selection method is martial arts competition."
Hearing this, Su Lin finally understood that it turned out that the shrewd Zhou family head had expected it.
How could an unrelated outsider be willing to stay in the Zhou family and work for them?
So, from the beginning to the end, he had only one plan, that is, to ask Su Lin for help and help them lead this so-called martial arts competition.
In this way, the secret realm can belong to their Zhou family, and then through the resources inside, they can create strong people and be self-sufficient.
Su Lin did not refuse, because he was also interested in this secret realm for cultivation, and perhaps he could benefit from it, which is more worthwhile than the clichéd money.
"So that's how it is, Patriarch Zhou, why don't you just say it directly? I'm actually very easy to talk to."
Seeing that Su Lin actually agreed, the entire Zhou family was surprised.
Patriarch Zhou was very happy. In fact, he also knew that Su Lin had other purposes, but as long as he could really help the Zhou family, that would be fine.
"Great, I'll toast you a glass!"
He still wanted to do this cliché, Su Lin directly snatched the wine glass from his hand and drank it all.
In order to take care of Banqiu, Su Lin said goodbye.
"Then, Doctor Su, I will arrange a room for you in this Zhou residence."
......
Outside the Zhou family, Banqiu was pacing boredly. She touched her belly and heard a cry.
"Why hasn't Brother Su Lin come out yet?" She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. When she was about to go back to see, someone suddenly patted her from behind.
Banqiu was startled and thought she had run into a bad guy, but when she saw the man's appearance, she was relieved.
"It's Brother Su Lin? Why didn't you come out of the main gate? I was scared to death!"
Su Lin's face was full of embarrassment. He just wanted to ease Ban Qiu's mood, but he didn't expect that he was a little too strong and frightened her instead.
So he quickly apologized: "How about I make it up to you? You must not have eaten well tonight? Let's go to the same restaurant as before. Eat well and I'll treat you."
"Shizhilou" is one of the largest restaurants in Yuhua City.
There are many diners of all identities coming and going, which is enough to show that the dishes here taste good.
"Dear guests, what do you want to order?"
The waiter brought the menu, which was quite high-end. Su Lin really didn't expect that they had already played this trick in this world.
He handed it directly to Ban Qiu, "You come."
Banqiu was stunned when he saw the prices. A plate of vegetarian dishes cost one or two silver coins. If he ordered five or six plates, the total would probably be thirty or forty.
With this much money, he would enjoy much better treatment in other places.
After all, in this world, an ordinary hawker only earns this much in a year.
This made Banqiu really afraid to speak, "This... or Brother Su Lin, let's go to another place."
After taking a look at the menu, Su Lin said directly and arrogantly: "Send me all your best dishes."
His action even made the waiter suspect that this guy was not here to eat a free meal?
After all, looking at Su Lin's clothes, he didn't look like someone who could afford to pay.
So his attitude became arrogant, "Sir, can you afford to order so much?"
Faced with this unfriendly tone, Su Lin was immediately angry, "If you dare to send it to me, I dare to eat it, what? Do you still choose your guests?"
This action further angered the waiter. He has been here for many years and has seen all kinds of people. How can a real big shot be like this?
Other people go directly upstairs to the private room, and those who eat in the hall are still rampant, so there is only one possibility of eating for free.
He was about to call for someone to kick Su Lin and the others out, but who would have thought that at this moment.
A silver note was slapped on the table, and his eyes widened immediately.
