In a barbecue restaurant that is doing very prosperous business.
A group of people were eating skewers and drinking in a private room upstairs.
Zhou Cheng changed out of his suit and tie and put on a leather jacket with jeans. He let his messy hair up and turned back into the wild and unruly look he had during his time as Lin Cheng. He just kept drinking.
He was too lazy to be the CEO of a wealthy family, thinking that Lin Xuqiu liked cold and noble men.
On New Year's Eve, he was wearing a well-tailored dark suit, a dark coat, his hair combed back in a 3:7 ratio, and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked dignified and elegant, but her eyes didn't stay on him for a second.
He originally thought that after the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord" incident, Lin Xuqiu would slowly see through Wen Yanci and become alienated from him. However, not long after, the baby became pregnant, and the eye contact between the two became even more disgusting than before.
He rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that he was mentally ill and his thoughts were really dirty.
Then he raised the wine glass in his hand and looked down. The pale yellow wine unexpectedly reflected the woman's beautiful smiling face. His ears seemed to linger with the woman's sweet moans from the bathroom that night...
His eyes slowly fell into the illusion. After he came to his senses, he shook his head violently, raised his glass and poured the wine into his mouth.
Lei Zhengming, a brother next to him, saw Zhou Cheng drinking heavily and thought he was in a bad mood, so he asked worriedly.
"Brother Cheng, you look unhappy. Did something bad happen to you?"
"Tell us all the brothers and see if we can help you."
Juan, the rough-haired man sitting opposite, teased.
"I think Ah Cheng must have been upset by the wealthy family, so he came to us brothers to drink and vent his anger."
The other brothers echoed.
"It's so great to be a wealthy family. They're hundreds of times better than small businesses like us. Why should we suffer?"
"Who said that there are so many dirty things happening in wealthy families, with endless open and covert struggles? Do you think it's easy to get along in a wealthy family?"
"Gangzi, you're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. No matter how dangerous the wealthy families are, they are still better than our business that requires us to travel all over the country."
"How am I jealous? Aren't I just concerned about Brother Cheng?"
Zeng Shimao, the least reliable of the group, came up with a bad idea: "Acheng, drinking won't help you release your stress. Come to my newly opened foot bath city to relax and unwind..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the men present became excited and the discussion became louder.
“…”
This group of people were arguing with each other, and Zhou Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up.
"Thank you for your concern, brothers. My road to wealth and status isn't that difficult. I'm drinking and eating barbecue with you because I miss you. Don't mention those things that spoil the fun."
"Forget about the Foot Bath City. I'm not interested."
The men present exchanged glances, and Gangzi couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Cheng, ever since you broke up with Meimei three years ago, you've become much more aloof. Is there something you're hiding?"
Zhou Cheng raised his eyes, glared at him, and cursed.
"I have nothing to do with that woman. I can't even remember what she looks like. Besides, I'm pretty good. I have a lot of unspeakable secrets. How can I be pure and unselfish?"
Gangzi looked embarrassed when he was scolded and just laughed it off.
"That's what I said. What's so special about Meimei who cheated on you? Our Cheng Ge is now the CEO of a wealthy family. He has all the women he wants. Meimei must be regretting it so much that her intestines are turning green."
Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold tone.
"Gangzi, are you done yet?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, the others hurried to smooth things over.
"Acheng, Gangzi is young and always speaks without making any sense. Don't bother with him."
"Yes, Ah Cheng, Gangzi is not good at talking, he just wants to stand up for you."
Gangzi was a little scared of Zhou Cheng, so he apologized as well: "Brother Cheng, I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry for bringing up such a big issue."
"Um."
After the conversation, everyone continued to drink and play finger-guessing games, and the box was very lively.
At this time, Juan's cell phone rang. He saw that the caller was his wife. The momentum he had just had from smoking and playing finger-guessing games weakened a lot. He made a "hush" gesture to let his brothers quiet down.
In an instant, the box that was noisy just now became extremely quiet. After all, this kind of thing had happened several times and everyone was familiar with it.
Juan answered the phone, but before he could say anything, he heard Hedong roaring from the other end of the line.
"Big Hu, how long are you going to drink? Do you know what time it is now?"
"If you don't come back, I won't leave the door open for you..."
Juan was like a quail at this time, speaking in a flattering manner.
"Wife, it's Chinese New Year after all. It's rare for some of our brothers to see each other, so it's inevitable that we'll have a few more drinks. You and Nuannuan go to bed first, and there's no need to leave the door open for me."
There was another roar from the other end of the phone.
"Big Hu, where do you want to sleep if you don't leave the door open?"
"Do you want to hang out all night?"
Juan quickly explained.
"Wife, I'm surrounded by big men. I'll open the video for you to see. I asked you not to leave the door open because I was afraid it would be too late and disturb you and Nuannuan's sleep. I'll just sleep in the garage..."
Most of the men present were unmarried and only had girlfriends. Seeing Juan's cowardly appearance, they were all afraid of getting married.
In the end, Juan said goodbye to everyone with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm so sorry, guys. My wife and daughter are waiting for me to come home. Let's make an appointment next time."
After saying that, Juan ran away swiftly as if his feet were greased.
After Juan left, the men had different expressions on their faces, and the youngest among them, Du Baichuan, complained.
