Chapter 42
Li Muye held Shen Tingzhou and cried, "Why did they abandon me?"
People around stopped and looked over here.
Li Muye was completely unaware and continued to cry, sobbing until Shen Tingzhou's shoulders were wet with his tears.
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Shen Tingzhou patted Li Muye on the back and comforted him softly, "Don't be sad, I'll take you home first."
Li Muye was in so much pain that he began to blame everyone and everything.
"Where is my home? They would rather stay in a hotel than at home. Is it because the room at home is not spacious enough, or the bed is not big enough?"
"No! It's because I'm at home, I'm an eyesore, I'm redundant, I should stay in jail for the rest of my life, I shouldn't even breathe, that's how they'll be happy!"
Listening to his self-pity, Shen Tingzhou felt his Taiyang acupoint swell up.
"Don't be like this..."
Just as Shen Tingzhou was racking his brains to find words to comfort him, a gentle voice came from not far away -
"Makino."
Li Muye was like a large dog with a collar, and he stopped making noises instantly. Shen Tingzhou even "saw" a pair of ears popping out of his head and a tail wagging from his butt.
Li Muye raised his head suddenly, his face showing a bright look as if the sky had cleared after the rain.
"Brother Ning." Li Muye immediately ran towards Song Qingning. The tears in his eyes hadn't even dried yet, but he had already run over to show his courtesy.
Shen Tingzhou: ...
"What's wrong with you?" Song Qingning looked up at Li Muye and asked worriedly, "Why are your eyes red? Are you sick?"
Li Muye's eyes swept across Li Jingchong and Li Jinghang behind Song Qingning, and finally fell on Song Qingning.
He slumped his shoulders in grievance, "What are you doing in the hotel so late at night?"
Song Qingning explained in a gentle voice, "I just saved a child and accidentally got my clothes wet, so I came to the hotel to change into clean clothes."
Li Jinghang glanced at Li Muye, "What do you think we are doing?"
Li Jingchong also said, "Putting this energy into study is better than anything else."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Shen Tingzhou felt that the two of them seemed to be besieging Li Muye.
Li Muye was mocked by his father and brother, and he was a little dissatisfied. "What are you doing together so late? Even if it's a family gathering, you should have invited me. I know I have no status in the Li family."
By the end, he sounded a little discouraged and even had a nasal tone.
When Song Qingning heard this, he suddenly became anxious.
"No, Jing Chong and I came to a concert. It just so happened that Jing Hang's friend was at the concert and gave him a ticket, so we went together."
Li Muye's expression softened, but he still couldn't help but complain to Li Jinghang, "Brother, you didn't even ask for a ticket for me."
Shen Tingzhou: Xiao Li, think about it again, is this really a coincidence?
Originally, the couple made an appointment to go to a concert together, and even those with poor eyesight would know not to be a third wheel.
But Li Jinghang did it anyway, forcing the date between the two to turn into a threesome.
Facing Li Muye's accusations, Li Jinghang did not show any emotional response, but Song Qingning's face was full of guilt.
"I didn't know you were coming back tonight." Song Qingning asked, "Have you eaten?"
Li Muye shook his head, "No."
He originally wanted to give Song Qingning a surprise when he returned home, but he saw the three of them entering the hotel halfway, and the surprise turned into a shock for him alone.
Song Qingning thought for a moment, then said apologetically to Li Jingchong and Li Jinghang, "Why don't you go, Muye and I will go home first, he hasn't eaten yet."
The two people's expressions suddenly became bad, but they did not show it obviously.
Ever since Li Muye spent some time in prison for Song Qingning and was depressed for several days after his release, Song Qingning, feeling guilty, has been particularly concerned about Li Muye.
When Li Muye heard that Song Qingning was going back to have dinner with him, he was overjoyed and Silly Dog was ecstatic.
Under the gazes of Li Jingchong's "fatherly love as high as a mountain" and Li Jinghang's "deep concern", Li Muye wagged his tail and said happily: "Okay, okay, let them go and watch it. They just love watching that kind of boring concert."
Shen Tingzhou: Xiao Li, you'd better read the air.
However, Li Muye was lucky enough to be a fool, as he unconsciously took advantage of Song Qingning's weakness.
His prison record might not allow him to take the civil service exam, but it would allow him to gain Song Qingning's sympathy.
Seeing that Li Muye was fine, Shen Tingzhou prepared to leave quietly.
Shen Tingzhou had just taken a few steps back when the complacent Li Muye called him, "Doctor Shen, did you have dinner tonight? Do you want to go back and have something with us?"
His original intention was to show off, but it went too far...
Hearing the three words "Dr. Shen", Song Qingning's positive radar was immediately activated, and he turned on the anti-disturbance mode of "I just want to study hard" for the Li family father and son.
He pushed Li Muye away, ignored Li Jingchong and Li Jinghang beside him, and walked towards the light in his heart like a pilgrim.
Song Qingning turned into a well-behaved little schoolboy in an instant, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Tingzhou were full of desire for knowledge.
He also changed the way he addressed Shen Tingzhou from Dr. Shen to senior, and couldn't help but report his learning progress to Shen Tingzhou.
"The teacher who taught us the adult exam a few days ago gave us a test paper from the 40th session, and I scored 647 points."
After saying this, he blinked and looked at Shen Tingzhou from time to time, exuding an aura that deserved to be praised.
Looking at Song Qingning's obedient appearance, the three people behind him were gnashing their teeth.
Although Song Qingning was usually very gentle, he would never show this kind of expression to them.
Shen Tingzhou, the only one who enjoyed this treatment, gave a very positive feedback upon hearing it.
"The 40th year's exam was very difficult. A score of 647 puts you in the top 50 in the province. You're amazing to get such a high score in such a short period of time."
Song Qingning showed a happy but restrained shy expression.
"Senior." Song Qingning looked up at Shen Tingzhou, "I plan to study medicine like you."
Although it is said that encouraging people to study medicine will be punished by lightning, it is not easy for Song Qingning to regain his goal and be positive and progressive.
Shen Tingzhou sincerely encouraged, "You are meticulous, responsible, and have a good temper, which are the most important qualities for medical students. If you want to learn about specific medical specialties, you can..."
Suddenly feeling chilly, Shen Tingzhou looked up.
There were three pairs of eyes staring at him in the front, releasing coldness in the darkness.
"..." Shen Tingzhou changed his words abruptly, "You can find my friend, he is more professional in this area."
In the cold wind, the hungry Li Muye called out, "Brother Song."
Song Qingning didn't hear anything, still looking up at Shen Tingzhou, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, I will definitely study hard."
Shen Tingzhou felt relieved but also under great pressure. "Then do your best."
"Qingning." Li Jingchong came over, "Doctor Shen, there may be something else."
Shen Tingzhou, who was forced to do something, laughed dryly, "Yeah, I won't bother you guys..." There was no idea how many people there were in the family.
Song Qingning wanted to report the specific results of each subject to Shen Tingzhou, but seeing that Shen Tingzhou was busy, he could only hide his disappointment and said, "Then come and play often."
Shen Tingzhou smiled: "Okay."
My heart was twitching: Do you think he dares to go?
The three Li family members stared at Shen Tingzhou with a fierce look, fearing that he would abduct Song Qingning and run away.
Although they knew in their hearts that Song Qingning would happily follow him without Shen Tingzhou saying anything.
Li Jinghang also walked over slowly and said calmly, "Doctor Shen, be careful on your way."
Shen Tingzhou: I know, I know, he is leaving now.
Li Muye turned into a dark puppy, "Doctor Shen, I'll take you there."
Shen Tingzhou was carried forward by Li Muye. Once he left Song Qingning's range, Li Muye's attitude became warm again and he diligently helped Shen Tingzhou open the car door.
"Dr. Shen, thank you for accompanying me today. Without you tonight, I would have burned down the hotel."
Looking at Li Muye with tears in his eyes, Shen Tingzhou didn't know whether to marvel at his quick change of expression or criticize him for having the same weak legal awareness as Zhou Zitan.
No wonder you two are in jail. With this kind of thinking and this kind of awareness, if not you two, who else should be in jail?
Thousands of words turned into a sigh, and Shen Tingzhou patted Li Muye on the shoulder.
Li Muye watched Shen Tingzhou leave, and when he went back to find Song Qingning, he had already gotten into Li Jingchong's car.
Li Muye:!!!
He rushed into the car, but the only seat left for him was the passenger seat.
Li Muye thought to himself: It's better to be a co-pilot than not being able to get in the car!
-
The next morning, the 4S store called Shen Tingzhou and said that his car could be maintained for free this month.
Shen Tingzhou happened to have nothing to do today, so he made an appointment to go over to have his car serviced in the afternoon.
After lunch, Shen Tingzhou drove his three-year-old car to the store for maintenance.
After handing the car keys to the staff, Shen Tingzhou picked up a car magazine and prepared to find a place to sit for a while, when he suddenly heard a name he hadn't heard for a long time -
"Squad leader."
At first Shen Tingzhou didn't realize that he was being called, and he just subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
Two meters away, a man in a casual suit and sunglasses looked at him in surprise, and Shen Tingzhou was stunned.
"Class monitor, it's me, Yang Lei."
The man took off his sunglasses, and Shen Tingzhou recognized that he was the sports committee member of their class.
Shen Tingzhou greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see. Why are you dressed like a rich kid? I didn't recognize you."
Yang Lei showed his eight neat teeth. "Xiao Kai relies on his parents, I rely on myself. Squad leader, why are you here, buying a car?"
Shen Tingzhou glanced in the direction of his car and said, "No, I'm doing maintenance on the car."
Yang Lei followed Shen Tingzhou's gaze and looked over there. When he saw Shen Tingzhou's car, his eyes became a little subtle and he didn't say anything for a while.
Shen Tingzhou asked, "What about you?"
Yang Hui sighed, "I also get my car serviced, and I went to check out the cars in front. People say the car I'm driving now is owned by a wealthy local tycoon."
Shen Tingzhou was curious: "What car are you driving now?"
Yang Lei: “Big G.”
Shen Tingzhou smiled cheerfully, "He is indeed a rich man, and it matches your outfit very well."
Yang Lei: …
Yang Lei glanced at the time on his watch. "I have a meeting at 3 pm, so I have to leave first. Do you have time the day after tomorrow? I want to gather all my old classmates for a reunion. I haven't seen you all for many years."
Shen Tingzhou nodded happily, "Okay."
Yang Lei called, and while answering the phone, he said to Shen Tingzhou, "Then we have a deal, you must come. If you are sure to come, the female students in the class will probably come too."
Shen Tingzhou: "...I'm not that charming."
Yang Lei stopped listening to Shen Tingzhou. He waved at him and went to the side to answer a work call.
Seeing Yang Lei's bossy look when he was on the phone, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help laughing.
When he was in school, Yang Lei's grades were at the bottom of his class, but apart from grades, he was an active student in other aspects.
Yang Lei is one of the few students in the class who lives on campus. His parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of him.
At the end of every month, Yang Lei would go around to eat and get to know his father. Shen Tingzhou was his longest-time father, and had funded him through countless impoverished end of the month.
At that time, Yang Lei often joked that the reason he could grow so tall was all thanks to Shen Tingzhou's help.
Once you call me dad, I know you as my father for life.
Seeing that the talkative and cheerful little student has done so well, Shen Tingzhou is sincerely happy for him.
Because of Yang Lei's invitation to a reunion and Shen Tingzhou's participation, the class group that had been silent for a long time became active again.
Yang Lei: [Everyone come, I will arrange everything and make sure you have a good meal and a good time.]
Zhang Chengwei: [Boss Yang is so generous! ]
Jin Ziting: [The class monitor is here too? ]
Shen Tingzhou: [Yes.]
Zhang Wenfei: [Add me, I’ll go too.]
[Let me see if the monitor is still handsome after all these years.]
[The class monitor is really popular. 】
[Yang Lei was full of ambition, but the squad leader was too "beautiful" and he was defeated.]
We chatted and laughed for a long time.
Yang Lei felt very uncomfortable. When he was in school, it was okay for a class monitor like him to attract girls, but now everyone is an adult.
In the adult world, ability is king, and it's time for him to come to the fore!
Yang Lei thought: The ten-year period of return has come, and it is time for him, the Dragon King, to come out and kill everyone!
Squad leader, I'm sorry, you will be the first person I slap in the face.
Hehehe, hehehe!
With this idea in mind, Yang Hui drove the most expensive car out of the garage, put on the most expensive watch, dressed in the most expensive clothes, booked the most expensive hotel room, and prepared to act like the most expensive person.
He, Yang·Dragon King·Bai, will be stunning as soon as he makes his debut!
Yang Lei went to his high school reunion with too much effort, and the moment he stepped onto the field, he really stole everyone's attention.
The whole audience stared at him for three or four seconds without saying a word, until the class beauty Jin Ziting was the first to burst out laughing.
"I know you have money, but you don't have to show off like that, right?"
They are the top class, 95% of them have been admitted to famous universities, and they are spread across various industries and are all highly skilled professionals.
Yang Hui blushed a little, but insisted on his high profile and played dumb, "Ah? I'm usually like this."
Zhang Wenfei joined the criticism, "You usually wear a slicked-back hair, a small gold watch, and a lot of logos? If you talk about business like this, won't anyone suspect that you are a shell company?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhang Chengwei smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Alright, alright, stop teasing our CEO Yang. He is our financial sponsor today. Why are you treating Party A so badly? How do you usually negotiate business?"
Zhang Chengwei pulled open the chair next to him and said, "Come on, Mr. Yang, sit here."
Yang Hui walked over with dignity, and when he sat down he deliberately flashed his big gold watch. The female classmate opposite him was dazzled by his watch dial.
When Yang Lei drank water, the watch face flashed again, and the female classmate gritted her teeth.
If you can't afford to offend me, I can afford to hide from you!
She lifted her chair and moved it aside to avoid the dodging gold watch.
The door of the private room opened, and Shen Tingzhou appeared in a white shirt and black trousers, with handsome features and a clean temperament.
Jin Ziting let out a long sigh, "Thank God for only giving you more stability and not taking away your freshness. If you were greasy, I would really cry to death."
Another male classmate sang, "You are still the same boy as before, without changing a bit. Time is just a test, and the faith you planted in a girl's heart has not diminished at all..."
Shen Tingzhou: "...Shut up, I still want to live."
Everyone except the male classmates burst into laughter.
Yang Lei laughed twice, then suddenly remembered his mission, restrained his expression, stood up and said to Shen Tingzhou, "Xiao Shen, come and sit down."
The call of "Xiao Shen" stunned everyone.
Shen Tingzhou didn't react much. He walked over calmly and sat next to Yang Lei.
Yang Lei was as amiable as the director of a street office. He poured a cup of tea for Shen Tingzhou and then took the first step to start the fight -
Ask about occupation.
Yang Lei handed the tea to Shen Tingzhou, "Xiao Shen, what are you doing recently?"
Shen Tingzhou took a sip of tea and said, "It's still a doctor."
Yang Lei spoke in an official tone, "Oh, I heard that you are a doctor for rich people, right?"
Jin Ziting frowned and said, "This is a good job. You can make a lot of connections."
Yang Hui disagreed and said, "It's hard to be remembered in the service industry, especially for rich people. They are used to being served since they were young. If you want to be the first and gain recognition and approval, you need to invest a lot of energy."
Zhang Wenfei couldn't listen any longer. "Who dares to say that they are not in the service industry? Aren't you?"
Yang Lei wanted to do some in-depth criticism, he wanted to say that the service industry is different from other service industries.
His annual net profit exceeds 100 million, can Xiao Shen do the same?
Just because Xiao Shen was excellent in school, you can't fail to see that I am better than him now that I have entered society!
Any car in his garage is better than Shen Tingzhou's.
No matter how good Shen Tingzhou is at studying, he is still a nerd. He cannot convert knowledge into money, so he is the loser in the box.
But Yang Hui couldn't say it.
He recalled that when they were in high school, the other party supported him with every meal. When his grades were not ideal, the other party used his spare time to help him with his studies. On his birthday, the other party even gave him the sneakers that he wanted most but could not afford.
All the things that happened in the past made Yang Hui unable to say anything bad.
Shen Tingzhou was drinking tea and listening to them debating the social service industry when his hand was suddenly pulled over by Yang Hui.
Shen Tingzhou:?
Yang Hui held Shen Tingzhou's hand, shook his head and patted the back of Shen Tingzhou's hand silently. His expression was complicated, sad, and mixed with a hint of pity.
My poor Xiao Shen, you are so outstanding, but you chose the wrong profession. You can only drive a car worth more than 400,000 yuan and wear a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan. You may not even have a house, let alone a girlfriend.
If you are rich and powerful, don't forget each other.
Now that I, Xiao Yang, have risen to fame and become the Dragon King, how can I let you, your father... no, let you, Xiao Shen, have such a hard time.
Yang Lei patted the back of Shen Tingzhou's hand, and it was unknown what he was feeling sad about, which made Shen Tingzhou feel uneasy.
The main reason was that the back of my hands were slapped red by him.
Shen Tingzhou tried to pull his hand back, but Yang Lei held it even tighter.
Yang Lei untied his watch generously, took it off, and then put it on Shen Tingzhou's wrist, "Here, this is for you!"
Shen Tingzhou:?
The female classmate whose eyes were dazzled by the gold watch said: Thank you for listening to me...
As soon as she moved to the opposite side of the squad leader, the annoying watch was put on the squad leader's wrist.
Why? It's just for me. You can put your watch wherever I go.
When Shen Tingzhou heard that it was for him, his expression was subtle.
Unexpectedly, I could hide from Zhou Zitan’s big gold watch, but I couldn’t hide from Yang Lei’s gold watch.
Shen Tingzhou declined politely: "I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the watch."
Seeing Shen Tingzhou's "flattered" expression, Yang Lei wondered how many hard times he had gone through and how much contempt he had endured over the years, and that he was no longer as confident as before.
Yang Lei was heartbroken and angrily took out his car keys and slammed them in front of Shen Tingzhou.
"You're welcome, take it and open it!"
As soon as Shen Tingzhou saw the logo on the car, he didn't want to drive such an environmentally unfriendly car.
Shen Tingzhou pushed the car key back and said, "This car I have now is fine."
Yang Lei hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Xiao Shen, don't put yourself in a difficult position. Call me if you need anything."
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand, but nodded, "I understand, you too."
Yang Lei: Look, even though you are so poor, you still care about your advanced classmates. Xiao Shen, you are like this... No wonder you have no money. If you want to be rich, you have to be cruel and shameless.
How can there be good capitalists?
There are too many people today, and there are also classmates from the system in the box, so it is not convenient for Yang Lei to talk about his business. He will meet Shen Tingzhou privately later and have a good talk with him then.
Seeing that Yang Lei finally spoke normally, Jin Ziting started chatting with her friends and stopped paying attention to this.
After eating and drinking, Yang Lei refused to let go and insisted on going to the second stall to drink and sing in the bar.
"When we were in high school, we sang secretly without the teacher's knowledge. Now that we are adults, you all have to sing. No one is allowed to go home until your voice splits. I have already booked a private room. If you don't go, you will be unlucky for the whole year."
Yang Lei made some harsh remarks and then went to pay the bill.
After coming out of the restaurant, since most of us had been drinking, we discussed how to go to the bar.
There were only two girls who were allergic to alcohol and didn't drink. But with more than a dozen people, two drivers were obviously not enough. It would be better to take a taxi than to wait for a designated driver.
When a group of people were hailing a taxi at the door of the restaurant, a black commercial vehicle stopped in front of them.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing Li Jinghang's indifferent and handsome face.
He saw Shen Tingzhou standing at the intersection and wanted to say hello. Although he was a little wary of Shen Tingzhou because of Song Qingning, as long as he didn't get involved in Song Qingning's affairs, Li Jinghang still had a good impression of Shen Tingzhou.
Li Jinghang asked Shen Tingzhou, "Are you waiting for the bus?"
Seeing that it was Li Jinghang, Shen Tingzhou walked over to greet him, "Well, I'm going to play somewhere else with my old classmates."
Li Jinghang scanned the area and saw that there were quite a few people. His car obviously couldn't accommodate them all. "Do you want me to take you there first?"
Shen Tingzhou smiled and declined, "No, I'll go with them."
Li Jinghang didn't try to persuade him. Just as he was about to leave, a man came over and asked, "Mr. Li?"
After settling the bill, Yang Lei came out and saw Li Jinghang's car approaching quickly. He said in surprise, "What a coincidence! Mr. Li is also here for dinner?"
Li Jinghang glanced at Shen Tingzhou and said to Yang Lei, "No, I'm just saying hello to a friend."
Yang Lei was stunned, "Oh."
After seeing Li Jinghang off, Yang Lei asked, "Do you know Mr. Li?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "He is my employer."
Yang Lei was shocked, "Are you from Li Jinghang's family?"
Shen Tingzhou added without words, "It's a doctor, his family doctor."
Yang Lei knew that Shen Tingzhou was a private doctor for wealthy people, but he didn't expect that he was the client of their company.
Yang Lei stared at Shen Tingzhou for a long while, "Xiao Shen, no, squad leader, you are really a hidden talent."
Shen Tingzhou: "They are all service industries, there is nothing to hide."
Yang Lei: …
He felt like the other person was mocking him, but he was speaking so sincerely that his doubts made him look gloomy.
-
Yang Hui booked a newly opened bar, which is quite large and has a good reputation. I heard that the DJ was invited from abroad and most of the people who come here are young people.
Shen Tingzhou, who hadn't been to a bar for many years, was bombarded by the rhythmic music as soon as he entered.
Yang Hui was encouraged to do a passionate dance on the dance floor.
As a bachelor, he would come to places like this to dance and relieve stress when he had nothing to do in the past few years. In the past two years... he began to follow the trend and focus on health preservation.
But the dancing king was still as majestic as ever, and he even jumped onto the stage and danced while holding onto a steel pole.
Dancing alone was not enough, so he dragged Shen Tingzhou to the stage to relieve his stress.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't dance at all, so he moved a few times under Yang Lei's cover.
This place was too dry. Shen Tingzhou broke out in a sweat after just a few moves. His ears seemed not to be his own and all the sounds he heard were blurry.
A hand patted his shoulder from behind. Shen Tingzhou turned his head. Zhou Zitan's youthful face looked a little unreal under the laser light.
Zhou Zitan opened his mouth and said something to him, and Shen Tingzhou leaned over to listen.
The music just stopped at this time, and Shen Tingzhou heard Zhou Zi asking, "Doctor Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Tingzhou said loudly, "I came to play with my classmates. What about you?"
Zhou Zitan had been hanging out in various bars for a long time and was used to the noise. Not only did his hearing not get worse, but it became incredibly good.
"Doctor Shen, you don't have to be so loud. I can hear you. This bar is owned by my friend, and he insisted that I come over to review it."
Evaluation, these two words sound funny.
But it is a fact, Zhou Zitan is a person who enjoys eating, drinking and having fun to the extreme. He can be said to be a living guide to Kyoto bars and a know-it-all.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is not doing one's job properly, but for the bar owner, Zhou Zitan, who knows how to have fun and has a group of idle second-generation friends around him, is a living ancestor who should be served at the table.
Zhou Zitan is very famous in the DJ industry, and many bar owners want to pay high prices to invite him to perform.
Because Zhou Zitan often dyes his hair a wild pink, and uses the pinkest hair to play the wildest albums, he is called "Pink Master".
He spends most of his time in bars, which is why he can say that famous quote:
My friends are in bars, and my enemies are in bars, too.
Zhou Zitan may not necessarily open a bar, but he is the one who has the most say in whether a bar is fun or not.
Zhou Zi asked, "Have you booked a private room?"
Shen Tingzhou's ears were still buzzing, and he couldn't control the volume of his voice. "It's ordered. My friend ordered it."
Zhou Zitan said, "Ask him which room number it is, and I'll have someone give you free private room drinks."
Shen Tingzhou hesitated, "This is not good, after all, they are open for business."
Zhou Zitan didn't care: "I don't want to come out tonight at all. He called me more than ten times a day to urge me to come. The drinks in your private room are my reward for coming today."
Shen Tingzhou felt that Zhou Zitan was very cool for saying this.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Shen Tingzhou went to ask Yang Lei for the box number and was told that alcohol was free.
He didn't come to this kind of place often. Yang Lei was a frequent visitor a few years ago and knew everything about this place. He looked strange, "Who said this to you? Does he want to pick you up?"
Shen Tingzhou was stunned. "Ah?"
Yang Lei explained to him, "This kind of place makes money from selling alcohol. Even if they don't serve expensive alcohol, the bill for so many of us would still be in the five figures. The minimum bill for the private room I booked is 18,000. How dare your friend be so bold as to let them waive their alcohol bills? Is he trying to pick you up and show off in front of you?"
Yang Hui had heard of the name Fan Ye, but now that Zhou Zitan had dyed his hair black, he didn't recognize him.
Shen Tingzhou: ...
The possibility of Xiao Zhou showing off in front of him is zero, and the possibility of hooking up with him is minus ten thousand.
Zhang Chengwei came over, pointed in the direction of Zhou Zitan and asked Shen Tingzhou, "Is that your friend?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded.
Zhang Chengwei asked again, "Is your last name Zhou?"
Shen Tingzhou: “Yeah.”
Yang Hui came over and asked, "Do you know him?"
Zhang Chengwei held his chin and said, "Zhou Zhizhong knows, right?"
Yang Lei: "This is not nonsense, of course I know it."
Zhang Chengwei patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is Zhou Zhizhong's son, my boss's cousin. I often saw him in the company before."
Zhang Chengwei is an executive in He Yanting's company. He recognizes people by their faces, not their hair color.
Zhang Chengwei sighed, "If it's really Zhou Zitan, then his face can really make money."
Xiao Zhou had already gone to scan his face, called out the bar owner, pointed at Shen Tingzhou and asked him to waive the drink.
The bar owner said straightforwardly, "No need! Mr. Zhou's friends are my buddies. Don't worry, I will treat them well. The wine will definitely be the best, and the private room will be the largest."
Zhou Zitan was unhappy, "I told you, I will change my last name soon. Call me He Zitan from now on."
The bar owner said hurriedly: "There are too many things to do. I have been so busy lately that I almost forgot about DJing..."
Zhou Zitan's identity as a second-generation rich man, coupled with his wild DJ style, arrogant words and deeds, and good looks, has attracted many fans in this industry, and many people come to dance and drink with him.
Zhou Zitan was a little impatient. His brother was in such a state now, how could he have the mood to play DJ?
The bar owner wanted to say something, but someone in front of him called Zhou Zitan, "Xiao Zhou."
Hearing Shen Tingzhou's voice, Zhou Zitan immediately ran over eagerly, "Hey, here you are, Doctor Shen."
"Call Me He Zitan From Now On"
Bar owner: You have two faces.
-
Shen Tingzhou thought about it again and still felt that it was not a good idea to let the boss lose money.
The final result of the negotiation between the two parties was that the consumption in the private room tonight would be 70% off, and there would be no minimum consumption. You can spend as much as you want.
The boss generously gifted them a bottle of good wine, as well as a lot of fruit plates, snacks and desserts.
Feeling very proud, Yang Leihao ordered all kinds of wine, including red, white and beer.
Yang Lei went to drink with Shen Tingzhou, "Come on, squad leader, I'll toast you a glass."
Shen Tingzhou didn't know how he became the class monitor again.
Jin Ziting beside him also teased, "Hey, isn't it Xiao Shen? Why did you change to an adult?"
Yang Hui blushed.
He was a playboy in school, and after graduating and working hard in society, he became even more shameless. He hugged Shen Tingzhou's thigh and said, "Once a father, always a father. Dad, my long-lost father."
Jin Ziting smiled and took photos of this family reunion scene.
Shen Tingzhou pulled Yang Lei and said, "Hurry up and stand up."
After Yang Lei finished toasting, Jin Ziting also asked Shen Tingzhou to come drink, "I almost confessed to you back then, it was a close call, I don't want to be the stepmother of such a big son."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Yang Lei: …
In the end, Shen Tingzhou was drunk and he drank a few cups. But he didn't know whether he served the wrong wine or someone mixed his wine with other wine. When the two wines were mixed, the aftereffects were very strong.
Shen Tingzhou fell on the circular sofa, feeling dizzy.
Seeing that he had drunk a lot, no one came to disturb him, and Shen Tingzhou lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the phone kept ringing. He answered the call in a daze and said a few words. He didn't see clearly whether he hung up or not, and fell asleep again.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Tingzhou felt someone pushing him.
The man whispered in his ear, "Captain, is your family here to pick you up? Wake up."
Family?
Shen Tingzhou struggled to open his eyes, but before he could see who was coming, he was helped up and his arm was placed on a broad shoulder.
A warm breath brushed against his face, and the man who held him up said, "I'll take him back first."
Shen Tingzhou tried hard to look, but the person in front of him had a blurry outline and indistinguishable facial features. He had a slender figure, and there was a faint smell of tea.
Smells good.
Shen Tingzhou unconsciously turned his head and sniffed twice, and the hand on his waist tightened noticeably.
Shen Tingzhou leaned drowsily on the other person and followed him out of the bar.
A cool breeze blew, and Shen Tingzhou finally regained consciousness.
The person next to him whispered to him, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Tingzhou looked at that handsome face and shook his head in confusion.
Xu Xun opened the car door, let Shen Tingzhou in, and then said goodbye to the classmates who came out from behind him.
A group of people watched the car driving away, wondering what the relationship between this person and their squad leader was.
The two of them seemed very intimate in their words and actions. Could it be that...
Only Yang Lei focused on the car. Although the car looks low-key, it actually has high configuration and the price is very touching.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, the monitor can't be Shang Zhongyong."
Your grandfather will always be your grandfather, and the squad leader will always be your father.

Shen Tingzhou, who had gotten into the carriage, was somewhat sober now and felt embarrassed for realizing it belatedly.
He rubbed his swollen and aching head and asked Xu Xun, "Did I call you?"
Xu Xun hummed, opened a bottle of water and handed it to him, "Drink some water."
"Thank you." Shen Tingzhou wanted to take it, but Xu Xun put the bottle mouth directly to his mouth.
Shen Tingzhou's brain was paralyzed by alcohol. He opened his mouth half a beat late and directly drank the water that Xu Xun fed him.
"Lie down for a while." Xu Xun's voice was slow and gentle in the closed compartment. "I'll call you when we get home."
Shen Tingzhou was dominated by the peaceful voice, his eyes drooped, and there was a faint sign of sticking to each other.
Just before closing it, he suddenly opened it again and said subconsciously, "I didn't drink too much."
"I know." Xu Xun raised his hand and gently pressed Shen Tingzhou's head onto his shoulder, "Go get some sleep."
Shen Tingzhou thought to himself, I'm not very sleepy either.
But once the idea came to mind, my eyelids closed automatically as if thinking about it.
Under the faint scent of tea, Shen Tingzhou felt a sense of security. As soon as his mind relaxed, sleepiness instantly swept over his body.
Xu Xun looked at Shen Tingzhou, his pupils deep and silent in the night.
Shen Tingzhou's face looked drunk, his long eyelashes drooped, his lips were rosy, and he slept peacefully and soundly.
Xu Xun raised his hand and touched the hot corners of Shen Tingzhou's eyes, then touched his lips, which were dry and soft.

When he woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Shen Tingzhou had the most common symptoms of a hangover: headache and thirst.
There was a glass of water on the table, and Shen Tingzhou grabbed it and drank it.
After drinking the water, Shen Tingzhou was shocked to realize that this was not his home and the clothes he was wearing were not his own.
The iron-gray sports suit was obviously loose on him, but the fabric was thin and comfortable.
Shen Tingzhou spent seven or eight seconds recalling what happened last night and couldn't help but grab a handful of hair.
After getting out of bed and cleaning himself, Shen Tingzhou pressed his temples and walked out of the room with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Xu Xun happened to be going upstairs, and the two met in the corridor. Shen Tingzhou said embarrassedly, "Thank you for taking care of me last night."
Xu Xun asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
Shen Tingzhou smiled bitterly, "I probably remember that I had a party with my classmates yesterday and had two more glasses of mixed wine..."
Xu Xun interrupted Shen Tingzhou and said something shocking, "I mean, do you still remember that you kissed me when you were drunk last night?"
Shen Tingzhou stood there in shock, almost doubting his own ears.
What, who kissed who?
The author has something to say:
Doctor Shen: Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am not that kind of person even when I am drunk!
