Chapter 34 Misunderstanding
Xiao Ran wanted to refuse again, but when he saw Chen Xuan's eyes, he felt reluctant.
Chen Xuan is a good person, hardworking and motivated, and has a promising career at a young age, but she really can't feel any love for him, and this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Glancing at Tang Shuo beside him, Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Okay."
Hongyingyan Bar is not far from the Sichuan restaurant where everyone is having dinner.
Although it is only a medium-sized bar, it has a high style and the resident singers are very talented, so it attracts countless white-collar and gold-collar workers to indulge themselves every day.
There was a foreigner singing on the stage, and he was singing a very soothing English song.
After the group arrived at the bar, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, the atmosphere became better than when they were in the restaurant.
Everyone asked for some wine and then started chatting.
After everyone had a drink, they started chatting about their recent situation, mostly showing off if they were doing well.
"Xiao Ran, where does your boyfriend work?" The mature man Lao Lu suddenly looked at Xiao Ran and asked.
Hearing Lao Lu's question, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran didn't expect to be asked about Tang Shuo suddenly. After a pause, he answered as he had agreed with Tang Shuo beforehand: "He is the manager of a small business."
Knowing that they would inevitably be asked this question, Xiao Ran and Tang Shuo had discussed it on the way here and decided on this answer.
In fact, this was mainly the answer decided by Xiao Ran.
Tang Shuo felt that his current job as a bodyguard was pretty good. Although he had not received any salary yet, his nominal annual salary was 100,000 yuan, which was much better than many people.
But Xiao Ran felt that something was wrong, and finally decided to use the title of small business manager to fool his classmates.
"Oh, very good." Lao Lu touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly.
Hearing Xiao Ran's answer, several people chuckled at the same time.
The title of manager may have sounded intimidating a few decades ago, but in the past two years, even if you open a small shop on the street, you dare to call yourself a manager, so the title of manager is really worthless.
"Which company?" Ding Wei stepped forward and said, "Maybe if I need anything in the future, I can ask your boyfriend for help."
Ding Wei's question triggered a burst of laughter, especially from the backless girl sitting next to him, who was laughing even more charmingly.
Of course, she didn't think that Ding Wei would need Xiao Ran's boyfriend's help in any way. The market value of Ding Wei's family's company was nearly 10 billion. Even if she really encountered some trouble, why would she need the help of this man who looked not so successful?
She and Xiao Ran didn't get along when they were in junior high school. She was jealous of Xiao Ran's popularity among classmates and envied Xiao Ran's beauty.
Although she can be considered a beauty, she is far inferior to Xiao Ran in every aspect.
At the class reunion two years ago, she was the first to mock Xiao Ran, who wanted to be a star. But who would have thought that two years later, Xiao Ran would actually become famous, which made her very unhappy.
Now the only thing she and Xiao Ran can compete with is men. As long as she can get close to Ding Wei, she will have something to show off in front of Xiao Ran.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Xuan couldn't bear to watch any longer. He stood up with his glass in hand and said to Tang Shuo and the others again, "Congratulations."
Tang Shuo nodded, raised the wine glass and gestured to Chen Xuan, then took a sip.
Judging from the attitude of Xiao Ran and his classmates towards him, the guy named Chen Xuan should be quite popular.
And judging from the dinner and the way he just rescued someone, this person's character is also excellent.
Even so, Tang Shuo did not feel any guilt towards him.
Even if he was not the one to do this, Xiao Ran would have refused it for other reasons, and the result would have been the same.
Although the topic of conversation no longer revolved around Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran, there was a hint of contempt in everyone's eyes when they looked at Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo was enjoying his leisure time, sitting in a corner with Xiao Ran, listening to the singer on the stage.
After a while, Chen Xuan, who was obviously drunk, stood up staggeringly with a glass of wine in his hand. He walked over to Tang Shuo and said, "She's a good girl, cherish her."
Tang Shuo nodded, clinked glasses with Chen Xuan, and drank a glass.
Afterwards, Chen Xuan returned to the booth and drank two more glasses with everyone. He apologized, "I'm going to the bathroom first. We'll drink again later."
Ding Wei on the side also stood up and said, "Let's go together."
He was really unwilling to see Chen Xuan compromise and go drink with Tang Shuo, so he prepared to go to the bathroom to help him with some advice.
After the two of them walked out of the bathroom, Ding Wei said to Chen Xuan, "Xiao Ran already has a boyfriend, what are you going to do?"
"I'll try to let it go." Chen Xuan said with a wry smile, "I've persisted for so many years, and I'm a little tired."
"How can this be possible?" Ding Wei shrieked, as if someone had stepped on his tail. "That guy named Tang Shuo is no match for you in any way. You'll definitely be able to do it if you just work harder."
As they were talking, they bumped into a long-haired man at the turning of the passage.
Ding Wei had already drunk quite a bit of wine and was worried about Chen Xuan. When he was bumped into, he lost control of his temper and started cursing, "Are you walking with your eyes closed?"
The man opposite was stunned, as if he had not expected Ding Wei to have such a bad temper, and then he burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at, idiot." Ding Wei said cursingly.
The long-haired man who was bumped by Ding Wei shook his head and said to the person behind him: "Break him up and throw him out."
Immediately afterwards, two men in black came out from behind the long-haired man. The men in black stepped forward, grabbed Ding Wei by the collar, and punched him directly.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately stepped forward to stop him.
But he was already drunk, and he staggered and fell directly into the fighting circle.
Thinking that Chen Xuan was coming to rescue him, a man in black jumped out from behind the long-haired man and kicked Chen Xuan directly.
The two men, whose fighting ability was already very poor and who were drunk at this time, how could they be a match for the three tall and strong men in black?
…………
Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran were discussing how to leave when the man with glasses, who had gone to the bathroom, suddenly ran over and said to the people sitting there, "Ding Wei and Chen Xuan were beaten up."
"Ah." Old Lu exclaimed and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
The man with glasses replied, "I don't know either. They are over there in the bathroom right now."
"Let's go and take a look."
Then, a group of people immediately walked towards the bathroom.
"Let's go and take a look too." Seeing that everyone had gone there, Xiao Ran said to Tang Shuo beside him.
"Yeah." Tang Shuo nodded and walked towards the bathroom with Xiao Ran.
When the two of them went over, a group of people had already gathered at the bathroom entrance.
The glasses on Chen Xuan's nose had flown away and he lay on the ground holding his head, enduring the blow.
Ding Wei was in even worse shape. His face, which was the size of a pelvis, was covered in blood, and his white shirt was also stained red with blood.
The knowledgeable Old Lu grabbed a classmate who was about to rush over and shook his head, saying, "Don't go over there. That young man has a very deep background and we can't afford to offend him."
The man who was stopped by Lao Lu also nodded and looked at Lao Lu with gratitude.
Just now, he saw his classmate being beaten and was about to rush over. But after thinking it over carefully, he gave up the idea of going up to help.
They are no longer children who have just entered society. After seeing all kinds of dark sides of society, their edges have long been worn away by the big dye vat of society.
Now they naturally know who they can provoke and who they cannot provoke.
The bar's security guards just stood aside and didn't intervene, obviously afraid of this group of people. How could he have the ability to settle the matter?
Tang Shuo stood aside, looking coldly at Ding Wei and Chen Xuan who were being beaten, but he had no intention of going up to help.
He had only met the two of them once. Although he had some good feelings towards Chen Xuan, it was just a good feeling.
No matter what a person does, he must be prepared to bear the consequences. Moreover, there are so many unfair things happening in the world every day. Should he take care of them one by one?
Xiao Ran frowned slightly, and after watching for a while, she said to Tang Shuo beside her with a look of pity: "Please help them, otherwise something bad will happen if they continue like this."
Tang Shuo shook his head helplessly and stood up, saying, "That's enough. Even if they did something wrong, they should stop now."
…………
Lao Lu and the man with glasses opened their mouths in surprise. They also thought that someone would step forward to stop the other party.
But this person couldn't be Tang Shuo in any case.
Is this guy a fool?
Doesn’t he know the other party’s background?
But those with discerning eyes can see it directly. How many people would bring three or five bodyguards with them when they go out?
He helps others after only meeting them once. He is a complete fool. No wonder he is not doing well.
…………
The long-haired man who was leaning against the wall watching all this, grinned and said to Tang Shuo, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am." Tang Shuo replied, "They are already so injured, let them go."
The long-haired man smiled and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
"Then I'll just have to do it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shuo punched a man in black next to him in the stomach, and then rushed towards the remaining two men in black.
The long-haired man didn't expect that the guy who stood up would start fighting right away. His face changed and he frowned at Tang Shuo.
The remaining two men in black reacted quickly. Seeing their companion being attacked, they looked at each other and then simultaneously rushed towards Tang Shuo who was rushing towards them.
Seeing Tang Shuo punching towards him, one of the men in black relied on his greater strength and prepared to grab Tang Shuo's fist.
Just as he grabbed Tang Shuo's fist and thought he had won, he suddenly felt that the power of the opponent's fist exceeded his expectations.
Then an almost unmatched force flung him away.
He really couldn't understand why the opponent's seemingly soft fist had such great power!
Seeing Tang Shuo easily deal with his three men, the long-haired man frowned again and asked, "Who are you?"
Suddenly, a man walked out from the circle and said to the crowd, "It's so lively."
Tang Shuo narrowed his eyes and stared at the man who had just entered.
He had seen this man before. Last time at the charity banquet, he and Jiang Tiantong came in together. How could he appear here?
"Qiucheng, I invited you here to drink, not to fight." Huangfu Yuanzhou said to the long-haired man.
"Do you know him?" asked the long-haired man Wang Qiuchen, looking at Huangfu Yuanzhou.
"I know him." Huangfu Yuanzhou said with a smile, "We are all friends. It seems there is a misunderstanding here. I will explain it to you later."
"It's a misunderstanding, very good." Wang Qiucheng sneered and nodded, saying to Huangfu Yuanzhou, "I'll give you a favor today and not pursue this matter for the time being."
After saying that, Wang Qiuchen took a few of his men and walked upstairs to the bar.
Huangfu Yuanzhou then smiled at Tang Shuo, waved his hand and said, "Let's have a drink some other time."
Then he followed Wang Qiuchen directly up to the second floor of the bar.
The matter had been resolved, and the crowd dispersed. Lao Lu and the man with glasses also went up to check on Ding Wei and Chen Xuan's injuries.
Tang Shuo, who had been silent all the time, fell into deep thought as he looked at Huangfu Yuanzhou's back.
