RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Chapter 161: Giving Someone a Favor with a Small Price

Upon seeing that Tang Xiu recognized him, the plump middle-aged man immediately felt somewhat special as he smiled ear to ear and said, "You're most welcome! I did what I was supposed to do since it's my work. Idol, I thought I would never be able to see you again for the rest of my life! So I didn't expect that today I would come across with you here. Even I didn't expect that this restaurant belongs to your family. But the news about your family's restaurant has entered my ears so many times before. Your family's restaurant is truly great. The meals are sumptuous, the prices are cheap and the tastes are also wonderful."

"Thanks for the kind words of praise."

Tang Xiu nodded and smiled. And then, he turned again toward the inside.

For a moment, the plump middle-aged man stared blankly as he watched Tang Xiu walk away. He was somewhat quite clueless, and thought that Tang Xiu didn't like some of the words he said.

"What was that? Trying to worm your way in to get close to a woman by approaching her child? Is she ignoring you? Those warm feelings of yours are clearly meeting with the cold rebukes from them, aren't they?" The middle-aged woman who talked a moment ago, looked at the plump middle-aged man with a contemptuous expression on her face as she ridiculed him.

In just a split second, the face of the plump middle-aged man turned crimson.

Tang Xiu, who just walked for a few steps, could clearly hear the ridicules from the middle-aged woman behind him. His brows were slightly wrinkled as he stopped walking and looked back slightly. Then, he looked at the familiar attendant and said, "I just recalled that Mom said that she must keep one or two of the most luxurious boxes to entertain the distinguished guests. Do we still have them?"

The attendant said, "Yes, we still have two of them."

"Is there anyone using the box now?" Tang Xiu asked.

The attendant said, "Yes, one of them is being used by the City Leaders. But the other one is empty!"

"Since there's still an empty box, I presume it's fine if I take it! This Fatty Big Brother is my acquaintance. He's a good man!" Tang Xiu said

"Alright!"

The attendant respectfully nodded.

In this instant, the plump middle-aged man was shocked. Tang Xiu's praise for him made his anger instantly turn into happiness as he cast a grateful expression toward him.

As for the middle-aged woman, her breathing slightly paused, with an angering expression immediately drawn on her face. She pulled the fierce-looking middle-aged man's hand, dragging him to leave. However, that middle-aged man sized up the plump middle-aged man with an astonished expression. Then, he turned toward the middle-aged woman and spoke in a low voice, "Don't incite trouble deliberately. Our family finally can get together today. The others have scheduled us the best room in this restaurant with great difficulty. And this is already giving us a face, greatly."

"Hmph..."

The middle-aged woman obviously was afraid of this fierce-looking middle aged-man. She snorted coldly and then turned her head with an obvious resentful expression on her face.

Tang Xiu no longer paid attention to these trivial matters anymore and headed straight to his mother's office. When he saw that his mother was doing some accountings with a calculator and seeing her smiling expression, Tang Xiu also felt warm and comfortable inside.

"Mom, your restaurant is doing great. I think you can afford to hire someone to help you manage the finances."

Upon seeing Tang Xiu, Su Lingyun's eyes immediately brightened up. She put down the account book from her hands and said with a smile, "Sonny, don't be silly! We can't hand over the accountings to others. What should I do if they report dummy accounts? Your mother might be old, but my brain is still fine in dealing with calculations. So I can still deal with this."
