School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 152 Banquet

"Aiyo, I'm not some important character!" Li Yunpeng said embarrassedly, "Xiao Han, you're making me feel very awkward."

"No, to me you are a people's teacher," Xiao Han said sincerely, "The person I respect the most is a teacher, and the person I admire most in life is also a teacher. I hope Elder Mr. Li can contribute his strength to Hanmen in the future."

"That's for sure!" Li Yunpeng nodded and said, "As the saying goes, serve the people from whom you take your salary."

In no time, the king crab, giant lobsters, and abalones were served one after another. The three seafood dishes looked extremely appetizing, and just the king crab alone cost over a thousand yuan. And then there were the giant lobsters and abalones. Once placed on the table, it was definitely something you'd only see on television.

Li Yunpeng had never eaten such luxurious food in his life, so facing these delicacies of the human world, he suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

"This..." Li Yunpeng was stunned.

At this moment, a waiter nearby seemed to notice Li Yunpeng's discomfort and quickly came over. After putting on gloves, he began to shell the seafood and extract the meat for Elder Mr. Li.

"Elder Mr. Li, here's a toast to you!" Xiao Han smiled, "I've heard about some of your past and know that you're a straightforward person, as well as an honest one. So, this cup is to honor your integrity!"

"Very good!" Li Yunpeng nodded. Maotai Liquor was also something he was drinking for the first time in his life. With one sip, he felt absolutely exhilarated. With such a pure brew, Li Yunpeng felt very comfortable. He gently sipped it and then said, "Good liquor, indeed it is good liquor!"

"Uncle Li, this is Maotai, costing twelve hundred a bottle!" Big Fatty laughed.

"That expensive?" Li Yunpeng was astonished.

"Indeed!" Big Fatty nodded and laughed, "This whole table of dishes costs over five thousand."

"Heavens!" Li Yunpeng thought the whole table of dishes would probably be dealt with for just over a thousand. But it far exceeded his expectation. He repeatedly said, "This is too... too lavish, too valuable."

"Uncle Li, I've never seen Xiao Han be so generous," Big Fatty chuckled, "You're the first one indeed."

"Xiao Han, I really have to thank you for this," Li Yunpeng said, his face ruddy and glowing as if he was experiencing the peak moment in his life.

"Elder Mr. Li, you're too kind," Xiao Han set down his cup.

Meanwhile, Yang Lu was serving Xiao Han food and pouring his drink. She also used a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth, which made their relationship seem very intimate.

"Don't drink too fast," Yang Lu advised softly.

"Mhm!" Xiao Han nodded, holding his glass and continued, "Elder Mr. Li, this second cup is on behalf of all the staff at Hanmen. We hope you can be healthy and that everything in your life goes well. Additionally, this is to express everybody at Hanmen's greeting and welcome you to join."

"Very good, very good!" Li Yunpeng drank another cup and immediately felt a surge of high spirits. He quickly raised his cup and said, "Xiao Han, I will definitely do my best for the Hanmen Training Class. I won't let you down."

"Good!" Xiao Han nodded.

Xiao Han thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Being able to persuade Li Yunpeng to come out of retirement was of great significance to him. At the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about the Hanmen Training Class anymore. After the college entrance examination, he could go to the provincial city for university with peace of mind.

During the meal, Li Yunpeng tentatively asked, "Xiao Han, since your Hanmen Training Class is held in such high esteem by the Education Bureau, why not expand it?"

"I would like to," Xiao Han smiled, "but unfortunately, I haven't found the right person yet. To really expand, we would need a lot of people. And we need excellent teachers like you. I don't need any mediocrities."

"No problem, I can handle thousands of drinks!" Li Dapang chuckled.

The group got into the car, with Li Dapang getting into the driver's seat. Ignition, clutch, gearshift...

Swoosh!

The car instantly zoomed out, and everyone inside felt that the acceleration was a bit too fast.

Crash!

Before Xiao Han could speak, suddenly, the minivan driven by Li Dapang collided with a Range Rover parked by the roadside. With the van's front end hitting the parked car, Li Dapang groaned, "Damn, what happened?"

"You've had too much to drink and caused a rear-end collision!" Xiao Han responded.

Li Dapang was startled, his sharp eyes immediately exclaimed, "Damn, this... this... this is a Range Rover?!"

Screech!

Li Dapang reacted quickly, immediately putting it in gear and stepping on the gas to leave.

In that moment, the alcohol in his stomach vanished without a trace. Yang Lu was already scared, with her heart jumping to her throat. Li Yunpeng was sitting in the back row, slightly tipsy, and hadn't felt much from the minor collision. Xiao Han, however, was completely calm, "Told you, kiddo, drinking can get you in trouble. If someone finds out, you're in for a beating."

"I wasn't paying attention!" Li Dapang said embarrassingly.

"It's all because you drank," Xiao Han retorted.

The car raced off, heading straight for Fuxing Community. The speed was very fast as they ran all the way. After dropping Xiao Han and Li Yunpeng in the neighborhood, Li Dapang then drove away with Yang Lu. Yang Lu hurriedly fastened her seatbelt and moved to the second row.

Xiao Han watched Li Yunpeng go home, then turned and went back to his own place.

Back at home.

Mother Xiao was working on shoe soles, and when she saw Xiao Han return, she quickly got up, "I've left a bowl of soup for you in the pot."

"Okay," Xiao Han nodded, and then asked, "What kind of soup?"

"A bowl of chicken soup," Mother Xiao smiled and said, "Auntie Zhou from the Residents' Committee gave me half a chicken and said that the city's Chinese chess competition is starting this weekend, and she wants you to prepare well. You should drink it quickly."

Mother Xiao ladled out a big bowl of soup from the pot.

Every piece of the half chicken was in there. Xiao Han quickly asked, "Mom, why didn't you eat?"

"I don't like chicken," Mother Xiao shook her head, then said, "So, I left it all for you."

On the table, there was a big plate of salted vegetables fried in lard, and half a jar of fermented tofu. It was obvious that these were mom's dinner for the night. Seeing Mother Xiao, whose hair was graying, Xiao Han's eyes suddenly misted with tears.

"I ate out," Xiao Han quickly said, "Such a big bowl of chicken soup, I can't finish it all by myself. Mom, help me eat some of it. Otherwise, it will go to waste."
