Zhao Zhizhi negotiated with several rich second-generations sitting in the booths, but no matter what he said, his words were insignificant. This further aroused these playboys, who wanted to play tricks on these people who were like low-level ants in their eyes, and treat it as fun.

We can't win by fighting. Half of them are sick. Even if we win, can we run away?

"Okay, then can I drink for my friend? She really can't drink, and you guys don't want to cause any deaths!"

After Zhao Zhizhi finished speaking, a yellow-haired man sitting next to him started to curse: "Who the hell are you trying to scare? You're trying to kill someone. Is this wine that makes you fall down in five steps?" After he finished speaking, his comrades all burst into laughter.

"You can drink, but as a man you should drink twice as much, unless you say you are a woman and look like a sissy."

The group of people laughed even louder.

Zhao Zhizhi endured it, gritted his teeth, trembled slightly, and clenched his hands into fists at his sides, but the facts before him forced him to put aside his stubbornness and face it. In the end, he replied helplessly, "Okay."

Zhao Jia tugged at Zhao Zhizhi's clothes and said, "You took cefuroxime and drank alcohol. Are you crazy?"

Zhao Zhizhi sighed: "But there is no other way now."

Zhao Jia walked up, pointed at Zhao Zhizhi, and said to the others, "He just took cephalexin for a cold, I'm allergic to alcohol, my sister is sick and can't drink, and my friend is young and can't drink, so could you please be so kind and let us go without the money?"

The man in the burgundy shirt sneered, "Are you taking us for a fool? This year isn't the Year of the Monkey! Why are only your friends sick? What's wrong with them? Cancer? Hahaha!"

After saying that, he nodded in the direction of Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "Then let your friend drink. It's okay if he's a child, as long as he's an adult, he can get drunk and can't walk. Your brother will take care of you at night." After saying that, he looked at Lu Xiaoqiao up and down with ill intentions.

"You..." Qin Momo couldn't stand her friend being humiliated like this, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she was stopped by Lu Xiaoqiao beside her.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt sick and wanted to vomit when she saw the man's look, but she was the only pillar of the family now. Fortunately, it was all beer with a low alcohol content, so she drank it as kvass.

After hesitating for a while, he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll drink, but I also hope you guys keep your word and don't go back on your word."

Qin Momo grabbed her: "Xiao Qiao!"

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head and told her that it was okay.

Zhao Jia felt sorry for her, but his allergy was severe and he would probably go into shock before he finished drinking.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiaoqiao picked up a glass and took a sip. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary beer. After she felt relieved, she raised the glass high and drank the beer in one breath. Then she reached out for the second glass, the third glass...

Because of the hazelnut problem at noon, Zhou Qi's already heavy workload became even more overwhelming. He had to change his plan to go back to the old house today despite agreeing to let his father go back because of overtime.

I came out of the office and took the elevator all the way to the parking lot. As soon as I sat in the driver's seat, I received a call from Li Yuxuan.

"What are you doing? Still working overtime? Your boss works so hard that I, an employee, will be embarrassed to leave work on time from now on!"

Zhou Qizheng fastened his seat belt and started the car: "From now on, you can work overtime with me every day."

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything." Li Yuxuan heard the engine sound and continued, "Since you're already out, why don't you come to the newly opened 'Mei Ye' bar to find me. It's opened by Ziyang's friend. The bartender inside was hired with great care from abroad. His bartending skills are first-rate. Shall we go over and have a taste?"

"No."

Hearing his refusal without any hesitation, Li Yuxuan's tone became more teasing: "No, I mean, you just turned 30, why are you living like an old man? Every day you work and socialize. Why are you in such a hurry to go home? No one is waiting for you."

Zhou Qizhen, who had just driven out of the parking lot, paused when he heard this obvious sarcasm.

Then he turned his gaze to the co-pilot, where the hazelnuts Lu Xiaoqiao gave him were placed. Thinking of what Shen Yi said to him in his office during the day, he suddenly wanted to prove that he had also made some progress.

"Send me the address."

When he heard him asking for the address, Li Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. He had just said he couldn't come, but he had just said something and he agreed to come. Why hadn't he listened to advice so much before? But he didn't say anything, and smiled and told him the geographical location.

Zhou Qizheng arrived at the main entrance of the 'Mei Ye' bar. As soon as he parked his car, the parking attendant quickly came to meet him.

After handing him the car keys, Zhou Qizheng walked towards the bar.

After finding Li Yuxuan at the bar inside, he sat next to him, then raised his hand as if indifferent and placed the hazelnuts and tool clip he had brought in in a more conspicuous position between the two of them.

"Why didn't you call Shen Yi?" They must be allowed to check it out together.

"She's getting engaged soon and has so many things to do, how can I ask her for help?" After saying that, he asked the bartender for two cocktails.

Zhou Qizhen glanced at him and pretended to casually move the bag of hazelnuts towards him.

Li Yuxuan finally discovered: "What is this?" Then he reached out to open it and take a look.

Zhou Qizheng patted his outstretched hand: "Don't move."

Li Yuxuan became even more curious: "What is it? It's so precious."

Zhou Qizheng opened the bag: "Hazelnuts."

"Hazelnut? Why is it so small? Where did it come from?"

"What do you know? This is wild. The big ones are all grafted and grown. They are not as delicious as this one, and their nutritional value is not as high as this one. This one is a specialty of Northeast China."

Li Yuxuan was confused at first. They asked him to come and drink, but then they also talked about the nutritional value of hazelnuts. It was not until he heard the last sentence that he understood.

"Your sweetheart gave it to you?"

"Because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to eat, he even brought me a pair of small clips." After saying that, as if he wanted to demonstrate to him, he took out a nut and gently clipped it open, peeling out the complete kernel. This was something he had practiced for a long time.

Li Yuxuan laughed angrily: "Are you here to show off to me? Old Zhou, are you childish?"

After the cocktails were prepared, Li Yuxuan took one for himself and pushed the other one towards him. Seeing that he had no intention of drinking, he just sat there with his eyes lowered, peeling hazelnuts seriously.

"You don't want to drink! Then why are you here?"

"I drove here." He then peeled out a whole nut and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

“Is it delicious?”

"Of course."

"Give me some food! Why are you eating alone?"

After Li Yuxuan finished speaking, he spread his palms out and stretched them in front of him. His meaning was obvious.

"Don't be so stingy! You tell me, I've given you a lot of advice on your affairs. If you don't give it to me, I'll call her and ask for it myself! I'll ask her why she forgot her brother's share when she had the delicious food. I might even say something I shouldn't."

Hearing his serious threats, I didn't want to pay attention to him, but suddenly I seemed to remember something, opened the bag, and took out a dozen hazelnuts from it: "I'll give you a few to try first. Her mother will send me more in a few days, and then I'll give you more."

Li Yuxuan: “…”

"Damn! He's such a show-off." It felt like we had known each other for nothing for the past few decades.

Li Yuxuan bit open a hazelnut with his teeth, put the kernel into his mouth, and said while chewing: "It can be opened with just teeth. Are you sure that tool is not a gift? Or do you think you are old and your teeth are not good?"

Zhou Qi was listening to his rude tone and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me."

Li Yuxuan was afraid that he would come over and snatch them, so he quickly put the remaining less than ten hazelnuts into his pocket: "Tsk! Look, you can't sit still when you mention your age."

Seeing that Zhou Qizhen ignored him, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked around casually. When his head turned to the left and back, his sight was fixed on a group of people in the booth.

People sitting or standing around the booth were surrounding a girl in the middle who was wearing a grey hoodie and drinking. The girl was drinking one beer after another, and her attire made her look out of place here.

Maybe she drank too quickly, the girl turned around and coughed a few times, covering her mouth. When she turned around, Li Yuxuan was scared.

"Oh my god! Lao Zhou, look! Is that Xiao Qiao?"
