Chapter 151 Birthday Party
Annan and Gu Zhiyu arrived late, and when they entered, the place was almost full.
The two heads of the kitchen had not arrived yet, and everyone was gathered in groups of three or four chatting, and no one was eating.
Annan glanced at the table. Not only were the dishes of higher standard than the last celebration banquet, but there was also an extra box of cigarettes on each table.
This is a big deal.
After the end of the world, tobacco is a rare commodity. Even the cheapest brands in the past can be bought by smokers at the cost of their entire fortunes.
There are ten people at each table, and there are twenty cigarettes in a box, which means everyone can get two cigarettes.
Smokers treasure them as treasures, and non-smokers can put them away and use them as money.
In addition to cigarettes, each table also has a plate of vegetables.
Although the plate is particularly small, the value of vegetables is now higher than that of king crab, Australian lobster, etc. in the past.
In the past, when people had a banquet, they would stare at the delicious fish, meat and seafood on the table, but now these brothers' eyes were all on the plate of vegetables on the table.
This time, Annan and Gu Zhiyu did not sit in the corner, but sat at the table closest to the boss.
As soon as the two of them sat down, someone came over and offered them a cigarette.
As the boss hadn't arrived, no one dared to touch the food and wine, but they had already eagerly divided the cigarettes on the table.
Annan declined: "Thank you, but no, I don't smoke."
These two loose cigarettes can't be found even if you throw them into the air.
Gu Zhiyu also waved his hand to refuse.
The man who was smoking was overjoyed. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he secretly put away the four cigarettes he had been given.
In my heart, I secretly laughed at them and thought they were fools.
Is this any different from not giving money?
Annan, who was standing by, noticed his expression but didn't say much.
A pack of Red Flag Canal for five yuan made him so happy.
There are countless Huazi in her space. Is she proud?
I couldn't help but complain about Hou Jianming's false generosity again.
She had seen it all when she visited the warehouse that day. There were countless good cigarettes inside. It was really hard for him to pick sand from the gold mountain and find these cigarettes that cost a few yuan a pack with great difficulty.
He just threw away the things he didn't want and got rid of them, and his brothers were all grateful to him.
Gu Zhiyu looked at her from the side, curled his lips, and came over to whisper:
"Who are you cursing in your heart?"
Annan was startled, moved back, and then glanced at him:
"You are not a worm in my stomach, why do you always have to guess what I am thinking?"
As he said this, he touched his face.
What's going on? She has no expression on her face, how can this man know what she is thinking?
Gu Zhiyu's eyes flickered, and he was about to say something when he heard a burst of laughter:
"Hahahaha! Today is a good day, thank you brothers for your visit!"
Hou Jianming, with a flushed face, walked out of the villa with big strides, followed by the burly Zhu Dazhuang.
Annan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other.
Coming.
As soon as the two bosses arrived, everyone below immediately stopped chatting and stood up.
The scene suddenly fell into silence, with only Hou Jianming's voice being heard: "Brothers, you're welcome! Please take a seat!"
Only then did people take their seats.
The second in command, Zhu Dazhuang, was beside him, also with a cheerful look on his face: "Brother, the brothers have prepared a birthday gift in advance, and we are looking forward to giving it to you today!"
Hou Jianming smiled so hard that the corners of his eyes wrinkled. "Oh? Really? That's really a lot of work, brothers."
Zhu Dazhuang waved his hand, and these people immediately took turns to give gifts.
"I wish the boss a happy birthday and all the best!"
"I wish the boss good health, longevity and everlasting life!"
"I wish you all the best in everything, and may you have a happy new year every year!"
Annan looked at the long queue of gift-giving people and couldn't help but sigh. What kind of rule is this? Hundreds of people lined up to give gifts one by one?
She thought that she would write her name on the gift and hand it in together with the money.
This way of queuing up to give gifts is too unfriendly to people with social phobia!
However, there doesn't seem to be any social phobia in this base, it's all talkative social experts.
The greetings were all very unique, making their rough looks seem cultured.
Annan looked at Hou Jianming who was grinning from ear to ear.
This little black monkey is not "taking advantage of his birthday to celebrate with the people and let his brothers have something good to eat". He is clearly taking the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure brought by power and accept some gifts.
The food on the table had already been placed. These people were eager to run to the boss to flatter him, but by the time they had presented their gifts, the food must have been cold.
Seeing Annan staring at the food on the table, Gu Zhiyu, who was standing by, teased, "Want to eat?"
Annan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do I look crazy?"
Gu Zhiyu chuckled and stopped teasing her: "Don't worry, let them be happy for a while."
After a pause, he continued, "If you like, I'll give you all those gifts when we leave later."
Annan looked at him and said, "If you say so, my patience will suddenly return."
Give it away, give more.
Gu Zhiyu looked at her and smiled: "Little money-grubber."
Annan ignored him and shifted his gaze to Hou Jianming and Zhu Dazhuang in front of him.
They all have a very obvious bulge around their waists.
"They didn't allow us to carry weapons, but they were fully equipped."
Gu Zhiyu also glanced at it and said, "It's okay. Take it with you when you leave later."
Annan looked at him with a half-smile: "You are quite good at robbing houses!"
Gu Zhiyu raised the corner of his mouth: "Same here."
After a while, Hou Jianming had received most of the gifts, and his younger brothers returned to their seats.
He looked down and saw An Meili and Gu Youcai sitting downstairs, talking and laughing.
He frowned and interrupted them: "Meili, why don't you come over to my place? What are you talking about down there?"
An Nan sneered in his heart. This guy had always called her "Miss An" and "Miss Meili" before, but now he just called her "Meili".
Did you really think something would happen between her and him after the birthday party?
She said straight out with a blank expression: "Are you asking me for a gift, Boss?"
That's true!
Hou Jianming suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
This woman's words made him look like a greedy man!
I wanted to blame her, but I was afraid of making the beauty angry and run away. I was in a dilemma for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Annan did not let him be embarrassed for too long, and said, "I will present my gift to the boss after the banquet."
It will definitely surprise you.
After hearing her words, Hou Jianming's expression suddenly turned from cloudy to bright.
He laughed and patted the armrest of the seat: "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him looked at Annan meaningfully.
Everyone thought she would devote herself to the boss for the sake of glory and wealth.
