Chapter 122 Qionglou 2
Aning and Fatty knew more about the Crescent Hotel. Wu Xie, a descendant of the Nine Gates who grew up in Hangzhou away from his hometown Changsha, only knew the name of the Crescent Hotel and the rumor that Zhang Dafo used all his wealth to marry Yin Xinyue, the eldest daughter of the Crescent Hotel.
Aning introduced: "The current owner of the Xinyue Hotel is Yin Nanfeng, who is also a scheming and resourceful woman. It is said that the license of the Xinyue Hotel was obtained through her manipulation."
Fatty's understanding of the New Moon Hotel seemed more general. "This New Moon Hotel is indeed a restaurant, but it was eligible for auction from the beginning. It was a place for eating for decades, and it was later relaxed and recovered a lot of its original business."
"In addition, because there is a lady in the Crescent Hotel who married Master Zhang Dafo, it is said that your Nine Sects have special private rooms in the Crescent Hotel. I wonder if you, Tian Zhen, have the face to sit in one."
If Wu Xie still didn't make preparations in advance after being reminded of this, then he would have wasted his time. He turned around and took Aning to find Huo Xiuxiu. Huo Xiuxiu didn't hide anything and told him everything she knew except Yin Nanfeng's private affairs.
Not only that, Huo Xiuxiu also tried her best to promote cooperation with the Huo family: "Brother Wu Xie, I know you all have doubts about my grandmother, but I have seen with my own eyes how my grandmother was sad for my aunt over the years, so I must find out what happened to my aunt back then."
"This time the Wu family and the Jie family have joined forces, and I also want to participate on behalf of the Huo family. You also know how uncomfortable it is for us younger generations to be concealed from the elders about important matters."
Neither Wu Xie nor Xie Yuchen told Huo Xiuxiu about the matter of "it" because the Huo family is still headed by Old Lady Huo, and she has no intention of giving up power. Although Huo Xiuxiu is smart, she is still too naive compared to Wu Xie, who has seen a lot of things.
For example, right now, even though Wu Xie had a deep empathy with Huo Xiuxiu, he was able to remain calm and coax Huo Xiuxiu to tell him more of the inside story he wanted to know.
Wu Xie suddenly thought of Adjutant Zhang beside Zhang Dafo. They both had the surname Zhang, so he guessed that the other party might also be from the Zhang family in Northeast China. So he asked Huo Xiuxiu directly: "Let's put those sad things aside for now, but Xiuxiu, do you still remember that you had a grandfather from the Zhang family when you were a child?"
Huo Xiuxiu really didn't expect Wu Xie to steal information from her so openly. "Huh? Brother Wu Xie, are you talking about Grandpa Rishan? You should have never seen Grandpa Rishan. Grandpa Rishan seems to have been staying in the Crescent Hotel and hasn't come out for many years. Brother Xiaohua and I almost thought that Grandpa Rishan had passed away."
Wu Xie thought that Zhang Rishan was Zhang Dafoye's confidant, and Zhang Dafoye had betrayed Zhang Qiling without mercy in the past, so it was very likely that Zhang Rishan did not have a good impression of Zhang Qiling, and he and Zhang Rishan had nothing to talk about when it came to Zhang Qiling.
But Zhang Dafoye was the one who brought about the establishment of the Nine Gates, so Zhang Rishan must have been concerned about the survival of the Nine Gates.
So Wu Xie tricked Huo Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, you should have heard about that 'it'. We are planning to go to the Zhang Family Ancient Tower. Can you talk to Grandpa Rishan through Yin Nanfeng and ask him to take the opportunity to investigate?"
Of course, Huo Xiuxiu couldn't agree right away: "Brother Wu Xie, I can only promise to be a messenger. As for whether Grandpa Rishan will take action, I don't know."
Regardless of whether Zhang Rishan would take action or not, they had already fooled Huo Xiuxiu. Wu Xie and Aning went back happily to prepare to participate in the auction at the Crescent Hotel.
Jiang Xinxin has money but it's all in cash and she is an illegal resident. Fatty's money is not enough to enter the Crescent Hotel. Wu Xie has preferential treatment in the Crescent Hotel because he is a descendant of the Nine Gates, but he didn't expect that he would have to verify his capital before entering. Zhang Qiling looks good in his rare black suit, but it's a pity that his pockets are cleaner than his face.
Aning, still wearing a long white printed dress, took out her card and swiped it for pre-authorization, and then everyone was allowed to enter.
After this experience at the door, Wu Xie was too embarrassed to go to the Wu family’s private room. After entering, he found a seat in the lobby and sat down.
Unexpectedly, the fat man exclaimed as soon as he flipped through the menu: "Tian Zhen, take a look——"
Wu Xie only glanced at the multiple zeros behind the prices of those dishes and couldn't help but feel that they were expensive.
The Crescent Hotel has listening slaves and stick slaves. The listening slaves have excellent hearing and almost everything spoken in the hotel cannot escape their ears; the stick slaves are security guards and are responsible for the safety of the property and guests in the Crescent Hotel.
Even though the guests nearby didn't notice the noise made by Wu Xie and Fatty, the eavesdroppers in the Crescent Hotel heard and saw it all.
However, Aning took a look at the prices on the menu and didn't think there was anything strange. Instead, she explained, "I don't think the New Moon Hotel would use this kind of menu on a daily basis. It's only used when there's an auction. There's no other meaning. It's just to give the guests a heads-up before they come in."
Fatty and Wu Xie could accept this explanation, but Fatty was still reluctant to spend money. They didn't come here to shoot anything, they just came here to do it for the old lady of the Huo family to see.
Wu Xie turned directly to the last page and ordered a pot of tea for 1,800 yuan. The Crescent Hotel also gave him two kilograms of melon seeds.
The matter of the Queen Mother of the West Palace had already spread throughout the streets, so even those sitting in the lobby were not so foolish as to bully Wu Xie and his friends. Only when Xie Yuchen entered the room and saw Wu Xie and his friends sitting in the lobby, he curiously asked why they didn't go to the Wu family's private room.
As soon as Xie Yuchen spoke, the Crescent Hotel immediately took action. A woman who looked like a lobby manager came over and asked Wu Xie if he needed help to open the Wu family's private room. Wu Xie looked up at the second floor and asked, "Where is the Huo family's private room?"
The lady raised her left hand and pointed upwards. Wu Xie looked at the empty seat directly above him on the second floor and said to the lady, "It would be nice if the Wu family's seat was next to the Huo family's."
Yin Nanfeng, who was standing on the second floor watching curiously, felt something was wrong after hearing this, so he turned around and walked towards Zhang Rishan's office. However, Zhang Rishan had seen Zhang Qiling's arrival in advance, so he simply locked the door, put on headphones and listened to music, pretending that he knew nothing.
