"I love Brother Hanyu!" Zheng Sisi announced loudly.
"No, you don't." Zhou Min retorted as he typed, "You only love the fact that he stood up for Zheng Cheng."
"Then I love Brother Hanyu too." Xiao Ming raised his hand.
"No, you don't either." Zhou Min glanced at him and pushed his glasses up. "You were researching peach juice here with me the other day."
"Then I love you, Brother Zhou Min." Xiao Ming continued to raise his hand.
"Zhou Min, you are older than me, there is no need to call me brother." Zhou Min corrected him.
"Then I love Brother Zhou Min too." Zheng Sisi also raised her hand.
"Yes, love, love, why doesn't anyone love me?" Zheng Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
Everyone looked at him without saying anything.
"I know, everyone shut up." Zheng Cheng grabbed a handful of air before anyone could speak.
"Brother Zhou Min, why didn't you go that day? It was so awesome!" Zheng Sisi looked at Hu Hanyu in the distance, her hands in her invisible pockets, "Woof woof."
"If you like to hear dogs barking, you can keep a dog," said Zheng Cheng.
On the second day after the birthday party, Gu Zichen's parents took Gu Zichen to the Zheng family to apologize. Zheng Cheng was not there, so Zheng Sisi exaggerated the events of the birthday and recounted them to everyone, even Zhou Min laughed.
"By the way, do you know who brought Peach Juice Yaoyao in?" After Zheng Sisi finished her performance, she picked up the iced black tea, took a few sips, and wiped her mouth.
"Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me." Zheng Cheng had no interest in the severance of relations between Gu Zichen's family and Gu Jiaxin. He finally got what he wanted to hear.
"It's an invitation from Tianren."
"What?" Xiao Ming was confused after hearing so much information today. "Tianren is Hanyu's family business, right?"
"That's right! The Gu family spoke of Tianren with disdain, saying they gave them a few invitations, but the people who came were all dubious." Zheng Sisi was filled with righteous indignation, "How could Brother Hanyu be a dubious person? You're kidding!"
"They had such a big meal and still have the nerve to look down on others." Zhou Min shook his head.
"Wait a minute, I'm confused." Xiao Ming grabbed his buzz cut while the CPU crashed. "Go back a little bit, how come Tianren paid for Peach Juice Yaoyao?"
Zheng Sisi continued drinking her iced tea. "This means he and Tianren have collaborated before. What's so strange about that?"
"The weird thing is, we haven't told you yet." Zhou Min opened a video. "It was Peach Juice Yaoyao who knocked the relic over."
“Avoid this store!”
The moment Taozhi Yaoyao's noisy voice comes out, the audience's emotions are instantly lifted. He talks about Sheli, saying it's expensive, the food is limited, the food is not good, the place is hard to find, and the owner is really arrogant. In short, it's useless. After watching this video, no one would want to go there, and they would probably step on it if they passed by.
But in fact, except for the last point, none of them are true.
"Brother Cheng, I looked through the records. The day we went there was right after Taozhi Yaoyao posted the video. No wonder Hu Hanyu was so rude that day." Xiao Ming said, "Hanyu and him have a grudge. Why would Ren…"
"So it's what you thought?" Zheng Cheng looked at Zhou Min.
"That should be it." Zhou Min nodded.
Zheng Sisi:?
Xiao Ming:?
"That means Hu Tianren doesn't agree with Hu Hanyu opening a store. Damn it, two idiots." Zheng Cheng was very disappointed with Hu Hanyu, but he still raised the IQ of the team.
"Oh~ No wonder Hu Hanyu said he needed money. I thought his father is so rich, why does he have to work?" Xiao Ming suddenly realized.
"Oh~ I was scared to death. I thought Brother Hanyu was actually the villain. It turns out it's just his dad who is bad. Hahaha." Zheng Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.
Strangely enough, Hu Hanyu, who had only been around for a few weeks, had already become the topic of conversation among the four.
Why is this person so prominent? How annoying, Zheng Cheng thought.
However, he was also on his way to meet Hu Hanyu.
After adding him on WeChat that day, we actually didn’t say a word to each other. The chat history only stopped at “see you next week”.
But adding WeChat was like really establishing a link. Zheng Cheng said he hated it, but he was looking forward to it more and more in his heart.
Zheng Cheng convinced himself that he was looking forward to it because if he got to know him better, he would be able to know more about Cheng's cooking, not because he really wanted to have a good relationship with him.
This time, Hu Hanyu went directly to the basement to wait for them and even gave Xiao Ming a parking space number.
"Hanyu is really reliable. Is this the quality of a Hikari?" Xiao Ming continued to praise him after parking the car.
This is probably not quality, but a conditioned reflex caused by fear.
"I heard about your heroic deeds, Brother Hanyu." Xiao Ming greeted him.
Hu Hanyu nodded, said nothing, and walked towards the escalator with a smile.
"Your father didn't blame you when he got home, did he?" Zheng Cheng asked.
"Strange, he blamed me for not being gentle." Hu Hanyu's smile turned cunning. "Old Hu is different from Mr. Zheng. He wasn't a good person in the old street of Jiangkou District where I lived when I was a child."
Indeed, Dijia steamed buns became popular more than ten years ago. Before that, Hu Tianren was just a steamed bun seller. It was reasonable for him to live in a Shikumen house in Jiangkou District where several families shared a kitchen.
That kind of place is what Zheng Yuan always calls "the next step." If Zheng Cheng passed by and took a curious second look, he would be stopped. But in Shanghai these days, most young people no longer care about the old ways; at most, they just use it as a topic of conversation.
"So your father sent you to study in Japan after he became rich, right?" Zheng Cheng followed up on his question.
"Yes, Tokyo St. Mary's." Hu Hanyu asked Xiao Ming and him to go up the escalator first, and he stood at the end.
"You and I go to the same school?" Zheng Cheng turned around in surprise. "Maybe we've run into each other before."
Zheng Cheng went to St. Mary's when he was 8 years old. It is a boys' school from kindergarten to high school. The progress in China is fast, so he skipped a grade through the selection and was in the first grade when the accident happened.
The escalator slowly rose, and Zheng Cheng had a rare opportunity to look down at Hu Hanyu.
"Yeah, but I often skip classes, so I probably haven't seen you before." Hu Hanyu leaned his hands on Zheng Cheng's sides, staring straight at his face, as if trying to recall if he had seen him before. "You... should be very conspicuous, the kind with eight bodyguards around you."
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just one bodyguard."
"No, do you really have a bodyguard?" At this moment, Hu Hanyu is quite similar to the capybara he grew up in. In one word, he is stupid.
"Even if you have it, you're not allowed to bring it into school." What's the point of having a bodyguard? Zheng Cheng didn't want to say more about what happened next. "I don't know if it's conspicuous or not, but you have a bad memory anyway. You'll forget it even if you see it."
Hu Hanyu's face slowly enlarged in front of Zheng Cheng.
"!! What for?" Zheng Cheng was caught off guard and was startled by him.
"Look ahead when you take the escalator." Hu Hanyu pushed his shoulder forward, "Go down."
Xiao Ming turned around and saw Zheng Cheng's face was inexplicably red.
"Brother Cheng, are you feeling okay?" he asked with concern.
"It's not very comfortable." Zheng Cheng passed him, "I'll go in front."
High-end Japanese restaurant Rin presents dishes worthy of the price and service worthy of the service charge.
Xiao Ming praised the lighting in the private room and took a lot of photos of Zheng Cheng.
"I don't think there's any need to edit the pictures. Just post it directly on Little Green Book as a preview." While Xiao Ming was waiting for his meal, he sent a message to Little Green Book for Zheng Cheng. "Brother Cheng, Little Green Book has already started to contact us about business. Do you want to take it?"
"No, filming the video is the real business." Zheng Cheng tasted the appetizer and made a few notes in the memo.
Even though Zheng Cheng usually seems lazy, he is serious about making videos. He writes the text and music himself, and he actually eats every dish.
"The appetizer is neither good nor bad, the sashimi is fresh, and the presentation is acceptable." He commented and pushed the remaining side dishes to Xiao Ming.
While waiting for the food to be grilled, Xiao Ming had already finished distributing the little green books. While eating the appetizer, he asked, "What were you two talking about in the elevator just now? Have you run into each other before in Japan?"
"Although we are alumni, I probably haven't met him in school." Zheng Cheng thought about it carefully. Hu Hanyu is three years older than him. Even if they go to a comprehensive primary, secondary and high school system, the probability of meeting him is indeed small.
Xiao Ming was surprised: "Alumni, what a fate!"
Zheng Cheng disagreed: "It's nothing unusual. At that time, there was a trend of studying abroad in Shanghai. Many people copied our homework. Many of them went to St. Mary's. It will be convenient for them to go to other countries in the future."
"Wow, he's going to other countries, so Brother Cheng later went to the United States, right?" Xiao Ming was surprised to hear this.
"Yeah, that's right." Zheng Cheng took a sip of the brown rice tea. "Where's Hanyu? Didn't he go anywhere else?"
Hu Hanyu smiled and said, "Didn't I go to Cheng to learn skills?"
Xiao Ming put the remaining piece of Arctic scallop into his mouth. "Brother Hanyu is studying at an international school and working as an apprentice at the same time? Is he that amazing?"
"I haven't been to school much for a while," Hu Hanyu wiped his hands with a wet towel, "I was bullied at school."
"Ah? School bullying? Brother Hanyu?"
"Yes, that's true." Zheng Cheng had heard of it, but his family had bodyguards, so it was obvious that he was not someone who could be bullied easily.
St. Mary's is a place that cultivates future heirs of global enterprises. The school rules are strict. The boys are used to being spoiled at home. They are also at the most combative age. The foreign students who have no money and power become the punching bags of local students.
"I didn't go to school much after that. I was always hanging out outside." Hu Hanyu fixed his eyes on the painting behind Zheng Cheng, "Until I met Father Gao Tian."
Makoto Takada, the owner of that restaurant.
Hu Hanyu, a man of immense stature, brute strength, and a fearlessness of death, became the undisputed leader of the middle school gang in just six months. He stormed back to the gates of St. Mary's and beat the bully who had bullied him, only to be apprehended by Gao Tian.
"You can teach me a lesson, but you're not qualified to kill me." Takada knocked him to the ground with one punch, revealing a tattoo from his rolled-up sleeves.
The aroma of grilled king crab legs filled the air, but Zheng Cheng and Xiao Ming were so engrossed in it that they forgot to move.
"Blogger, assistant, it's time to cook. The taste will change if it gets cold." Hu Hanyu snapped his fingers in front of the two of them.
The soft, tender crab legs are as thick as two fingers and can be separated from the crab shell with a light flick of chopsticks, which is proof of their freshness.
Zheng Cheng took a picture in front of the camera, then picked up the chopsticks to break off small pieces and dipped them in vinegar to eat. On the other side, Hu Hanyu was not afraid of the heat and directly took the whole king crab leg with his hands to gnaw on it.
"With this quality, it should be good for making sashimi." Zheng Cheng nodded repeatedly.
"Not this season, I'll get fatter in the winter." Hu Hanyu wiped his hands, "It won't be bad for making sushi either."
"The crab shells smell so good when they're roasted." Xiao Ming didn't understand, he just ate it quickly because it was delicious and he loved it.
"So how old were you when you started working as an apprentice in the store?" After Zheng Cheng finished eating and taking notes, the topic turned to Hu Hanyu.
