Chapter 34: Tomorrow, the Yellow Butterfly Also Worries

  Author: The 2nd update is here, brothers! Give me all the votes and collections. A friendship that I thought was lost has come back yesterday midnight, and I'm extremely happy. When I saw Lang invited Yue, my eyes were filled with tears!

  Please provide the text you want me to translate.

  After a lot of trouble, Mei Xiang and Tang Jin didn't even have time to eat dinner. As a result, Tang Sheng called both of them out together.

  Hei Guangben went directly to 'Jianglingren', a place that had been prepared for her, where Ning Xin would never be polite, and most of the time she could gain some unexpected benefits. The more high-end places sometimes hide secrets and insider events that are rarely known to people.

  Tang Sheng came twice that day as 'Jiangling people', secretly rolling his eyes, four people entered the restaurant and then entered a private room.

  "Hey...... won't it be me treating again?"

  "Can't always eat Ning Jie's food, today I'll treat you, order whatever you want, Teacher Mei, give me a chance to bribe you."

  She gave him a white eye, remembering when he bumped her with his elbow, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

  All the way, Ning Xin and Mei Yu, Tang Jin also exchanged continuously, naturally familiar with each other quickly. Moreover, because Mei Yu was Ning Meng's class teacher, she had an inexplicable affection and admiration for this elegant and beautiful woman who was not inferior to herself. The conversation between the two people was also very harmonious.

  It's just that Tang Jin felt embarrassed in front of them and showed less affection towards Tang Sheng, even speaking less and not looking at him.

  In the end, Ning Xin ordered some light dishes, saying they could help maintain a woman's figure.

  "I'm so hungry, Director Ning, don't bully children, okay? Waiter, bring me the lobster sashimi...” Tang Sheng looked at him, meaning what are you being stingy about? You're a diamond permanent member, it's free food, and the lobster is so delicious.

  "Alright, sir, anything else..."

  "Do you have emperor crab? Bring two catties to taste the freshness... and bring three catties of Sanxian dumplings..."

  "Hey, I'm telling you to feed the pigs! How many catties are they each?" Ning Xin gave him a white eye.

  Tang Sheng said disapprovingly: "Hey... look at you, scared. Can't I pay? I haven't even ordered the bear paw and monkey head yet..."

  "Sorry, sir... we temporarily don't have bear paw monkey head... what wine would you like?"

  "...No more wine, sister. Look at me, I'm so drunk that I don't even recognize myself anymore. If I drink any more, they'll sell me and I won't even know it..." Tang Sheng sent the smiling waitress away, covering her mouth, before winking at Tang Jin, who ignored him."

  After the dishes were served, Ning Xin and Mei Yu chatted enthusiastically. As they talked, Ning Xin suddenly proposed to become sworn sisters with Mei Yu in a very Jianghu manner. She pulled Mei Yu along and they sealed their friendship with tea and wine. Ning Xin was 25 years old, while Mei Yu was 24. And so, the two sworn sisters were born.

  Apart from six vegetarian dishes, there were two seafood platters, lobster and emperor crab, as well as six cold dishes, and then drinks.

  Tang Sheng didn't drink any beverages, so they specially served him tea that could sober him up. He was really hungry and wolfed down the delicious food on the table with gusto. Originally, he had a good physique and an astonishing appetite. Ning Xin, Mei Cai, and Tang Jin couldn't eat much, and it seemed like Tang Jin and Mei Cai had never even eaten large lobster or emperor crab before. These were all top-notch seafood delicacies that cost several hundred yuan per kilogram.

  Three jin of Sanxian dumplings were swallowed by Tang Sheng alone, with two and a half jin going into his belly. The three girls rolled their eyes in unison, wondering if this child had been starving for years?

  Tang Sheng stood up after eating and drinking enough, loosened his belt, and began pacing back and forth in the room.

  "Miss, bring some Bi Luo Chun tea, and get me another package of the limited edition premium Huang He Lou, yeah, that's all..."

  "Sir, there's only the deluxe edition available, no limited edition. Do you still want it?"

  "Oh... I guess we'll just have to make do, looks like this 'Jiangling person' still needs to step up their game!"

  The waitress's face turned red as she smiled and backed out.

  Mei Xiang and Tang Jin didn't understand what Huanghe Tower was, so they asked Ning Xin. She curled her lip, "Little kids want to learn how to smoke like adults."

  The feelings of Huanghe Tower are smoke, Mei's face involuntarily frowned and pursed her lips, ready to criticize this guy.

  Tang Sheng spoke up, "Mei Jie, please allow me to call you Mei Jie or Yan Jie here, because this isn't school. I'm not really going to smoke Huang He Lou, I just want to take a sniff, I like the smell of cigarettes. Zheng Wei Jie, I'm not really going to smoke, okay?"

  "Hmph... If you want to smoke, just go ahead and smoke. We're not your parents, why bother us with that?"

  "It's a good thing you're not my parent, otherwise I would have spoiled you."

  "You're really lucky, otherwise you wouldn't have found a good piece of meat on your body, humph..."

  Ning Xin stared at him with a fierce and murderous aura in his eyes, Mei Xiang and Tang Jin both covered their mouths and giggled.

  Tang Sheng said: "Zheng Wei sister, I'm worried about you on behalf of your parents, who will marry you will have a good time."

  Ning Xin ignored him and instead turned to Mei Yu and said: "There are always some people who can't get a plum, so they say the plum is sour. Let's not bother with him."

  "Hah... I'm so hungry? Must I eat this lousy pear? If I eat it, next time even the emperor crab won't be able to move."

  Pfft, Mei Xiang and Tang Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing. The two girls looked at Ning Xin, who was staring at Tang Sheng with a scowl on her face.

  Tang Sheng pretended not to see, shaking his head and acting like an old scholar, but got straight to the point. "Alright, Commissioner Tang, stop glaring at me, don't grit your teeth, you can't eat me, let's talk business... At noon, I was just eating with Tang Yu here, he promised to come up with a new relocation plan for Lao Tang Alley soon, in exchange for the development rights of the 600-acre Axle Factory land in Ning District. This is good news for Mayor Ning, as the Lao Tang Alley relocation issue will be resolved, and hundreds of workers from the Axle Factory will be laid off... it will also lay the foundation for a future prosperous commercial street in Jiangling City, all without the district government spending a penny, isn't that perfect?"

  Mei Xiang and Tang Jin didn't quite understand what he was saying, only catching that the relocation plan for Old Tang Alley was going to be changed.

  Ning Xinxu raised an eyebrow, "I'm saying, is Tang Yu crazy or something? He's actually listening to a little kid's orders?"

  "Ugh, you think I want to let him swallow this huge cake? My heart is bleeding, sister. Tang Yu's think tank isn't just for show, with a little discussion, they can come up with such a conclusion. The future benefits of Jiangxiao Street are immeasurable. This 600-acre land lease for 30 years, his investment will be returned a hundredfold. Fortunately, he can only operate on 600 acres, another advantage is that it can limit him here. He definitely won't have the spare energy to harm anyone in the next two years, unless his financing channels are wider and broader. One billion five hundred million invested in Jiangxiao Street, he will inevitably be strapped for cash."

  "Are you saying that Jiangxiao Street may really become the most prosperous commercial street in Jiangling in the future?"

  Tang nodded, "It's obvious that everything is in place here, but the timing for development isn't ripe yet. The country is in a macro-control fever, but next year or the year after will see an explosive eruption. Whoever seizes this opportunity first will make a fortune."

  The three beauties all looked at Tang Sheng with strange eyes, they felt that the young man in front of them was not a student at all, but rather a master?

  "I'm also helpless, I can only think of this trick to tie up Tang Wei, it's the only compromise that can make him concede on the demolition and relocation of Old Tang Alley. I'm afraid he'll resort to strong-arm tactics, who among the dozens of households in Old Tang Alley can stand up to him? Being able to rebuild a new 'Old Tang Alley' according to the district government's opinion is also the wish of the descendants of Jiangling merchants. There's a glorious and legendary place that belongs to Jiangling people, it can't be let go, leaving something for future generations to remember is good too... No need to rush back when we meet, tomorrow the yellow butterfly will still be worried!"

  Tang Sheng used Su Shi's famous phrase to mourn the former glory of Lao Tang Xiang, and at this moment, three beauties all had infinite melancholy and nostalgia.
