"I'll go too."
"And me, I want to meet that so-called impartial Mayor Ling too!"
Li Shuzhen and Chen Jiayao also shouted that they wanted to go together!
"Alright, let's go!" Li Lei said with a wave of his hand.
Just as Chen Baoqiang's family was about to go toast, Li Lei suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Ping and said, "You said you had dinner at Mayor Ling's house before? Now that we're going to toast Mayor Ling, would you like to come with us?"
As soon as Li Lei spoke, Chen Baoqiang's whole family looked at Chen Ping with ridicule. They knew that Chen Ping definitely wouldn't dare to go. If he did, he would be exposed immediately!
Chen Ping shook his head: "If we're going to drink, he should be the one to toast me!"
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, everyone was taken aback. Then, a burst of laughter erupted: "Are you dreaming? You think Mayor Ling would come to toast you? Look at yourself! In the future, when I see Mayor Ling, I'll tell him what you said. Let's see how he deals with you!"
Li Lei finished speaking and walked out with Chen Baoqiang and the others!
Just as she stepped out the door, Li Shuzhen stopped and turned back to say, "Let's go toast them. Maybe we can stay for a meal together. You can settle the bill then, no need to wait. Those two empty bottles of wine are worth hundreds each, don't forget to take them home. They'll be enough for your family to eat for several days."
Li Shuzhen finished speaking and walked away with a giggle.
"Chen Ping, are you being foolish? Why do you say anything and everything? Don't you know this is going to cause trouble?"
After Tang Hongying left Chen Baoqiang's family, she looked at Chen Ping with a worried expression.
"Mom, it's okay!" Chen Ping smiled faintly.
"Oh!" Chen Baoguo sighed at this time, "How much would all these dishes cost? What can we do?"
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this, I've got a plan! Why don't you and Mom go back first? I'll take care of the bill!"
Chen Ping knew that his parents being here would only cause them worry. It was better to let them go home first!

"Alright, I'll go back with your mom to look for money. You must remember not to get into any conflicts with anyone. This is Tiger Boss's shop, it's no joke."
Chen BaoGuo instructed Chen Ping!
"Got it!" Chen Ping nodded.
Although Tang Hongying was a little hesitant, she still followed Chen Baoguo to look for those old neighbors, hoping to borrow some money. Otherwise, eating at Lin Tianhu's restaurant without paying would be like courting death!
After his parents left, Chen Ping sat back down again, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to his own origins!
…………
On the other side, Chen BaoGuo and his family took the elevator upstairs with their glasses of wine, heading straight for the Emperor's Hall where Ling Zhenchuan and his group were.
Looking at the obviously luxurious private room, Chen Zhi's eyes were a little overwhelmed.
"Brother-in-law, when will you treat us to a meal in such a private room? Look at Chen Ping, that cheapskate, he's having a meal in a regular room downstairs!"
Chen Zhi asked Li Lei.
"That ordinary private room, that idiot Chen Ping wouldn't even be able to afford it. Let's see how he pays the bill later. If he dares to eat and run, Tiger Lord will probably kill him!"
Chen Jia Yao covered her mouth and smiled!
"Both of you shut up! Do you know what kind of place this is? The people eating here are big shots. If you keep shouting like this, you'll cause trouble if you wake up any important person!"
Li Lei glared at the two of them and scolded them!
Chen Zhi and Chen Jiayao immediately shut their mouths in fright, while Chen Baoqiang chimed in, "Little Lei is right, you all should be careful, talk less, and learn more from your sister-in-law!"
At this moment, in the Imperial Hall, Ling Zhenchuan was having a meal and chatting with several colleagues from the city. Among them was Li Lei's father, Li Weijian. Judging by the seating arrangement, Li Weijian seemed to be the lowest in status among these people!
Whether it's pouring tea or serving wine, it's all done personally by Li Weijian himself; there's no need for waiters at all!
