Chapter 288 Drinking in a Teahouse
It was obvious that Zeng Wenjie was surprised by the name.
Ye Yixuan then said, "We have the same last name as you, not the Zhen from Zhen Bie."
Zeng Wenjie said "Oh" and nodded, then took out a cigarette box from his pocket and asked, "Sister Xuan, can I smoke?"
Ye Yixuan glanced at him and said, "Go ahead and smoke. A man will definitely be unhappy if he doesn't have a couple of cigarettes when he drinks."
Zeng Wenjie happily threw up a cigarette, caught it in mid-air, then took out the Zippo that Mu Qingyang had given him and lit it. His movements were graceful and smooth, like flowing water, which made Ye Yixiuan stunned.
A young woman in a cheongsam named Zeng Mi came in with some drinks. She glanced at Ye Yixuan with some resentment and said, "Yixuan, this is a teahouse, not a restaurant!"
Ye Yixuan said, "I feel more at ease drinking with you."
Ye Yixiuan has a special identity. Although she is still young, she really doesn't dare to go to places like bars or KTVs. Those places are full of good and bad people, and it is easy for accidents to happen or for her to be set up.
Having reached this position at such a young age, Ye Yixiuan understands the principle of being cautious.
"It doesn't really matter where you drink; the most important thing is who you drink with." Zeng Wenjie smiled and helped take the drinks.
Zeng Mi asked, "Who is this little brother?"
Ye Yixuan said, "Your family, the owner of Marenia, the founder of Snack Panic, the pair of high heels on your feet are from their family."
Zeng Wenjie then noticed that Zeng Mi was wearing a pair of nude wedge-heeled rivet shoes.
This pair of high heels, paired with her blue and white porcelain style high-slit cheongsam, really shows her beauty and gives people a feeling of Liu Ruyan's holy body.
"Oh, I thought he looked so familiar. It turns out I've seen him on TV." Zeng Mi smiled immediately, and looked at Zeng Wenjie with her beautiful eyes.
"Hello, Sister Zeng Mi." Zeng Wenjie nodded in greeting.
Zeng Mi sat down and started mixing drinks, saying, "But, come to think of it, it's been a while since you came to drink with me."
Ye Yixuan said calmly, "I'm busy. I've been flying in the air lately, not even touching the ground."
Zeng Mi then said, "I envy you for being so busy. I want to be busy, but I can't. I'm like a poor bird in a cage."
Ye Yixiuan looked at her with a hint of pity in her eyes.
Zeng Wenjie sensed a wealth of information from this simple conversation. A bird in a cage? Was it a canary kept by a powerful figure?
Judging from her appearance and temperament, she is very dignified.
After she mixed the wine, she stood up and said, "Drink slowly."
After saying that, she walked out with light lotus steps.
"Watch your eyes, it's not good to bring trouble." Ye Yixiuan said coldly.
"I just know how to appreciate and discover the beauty around me. Although Sister Zeng Mi is beautiful, she is still a world away from Sister Xuan," Zeng Wenjie said. "When Sister Xuan appears in my sight, all the other girls in the world pale in comparison."
Ye Yixuan smiled and said, "Do you think Xiao Mu will be angry when he hears this?"
Zeng Wenjie raised his glass at the right moment and said to Ye Yixuan, "I'd like to toast Sister Xuan. Thank you for your care and support in my work during this period! Congratulations on the successful recording of 'The Voice of China'!"
Ye Yixiuan smiled, picked up the glass with one hand casually, shook the glass and clinked it with his, then drank it all in one gulp.
Zeng Wenjie was stunned, looked at the half glass of foreign wine in his hand, and drank it anyway.
The taste is pretty good, sour with a hint of sweetness, and a little spicy after entering the throat. I guess the alcohol content is not very low.
"I went to Taixiang on Friday. The basketball game held there was quite large-scale. Although it is a rural place, many local residents came to watch the game, and the atmosphere was very good," said Zeng Wenjie.
"There's no need to talk about work when you're drinking. You're causing me a lot of trouble!" Ye Yixiuan said helplessly.
Zeng Wenjie stopped immediately.
Ye Yixuan said, "Your snack shop is planning to expand, right? I heard that from Ye Qiansheng."
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "We will start expanding right after the Chinese New Year. We've been planning locations recently, and we're planning to open one in the heart of each district."
Ye Yixuan said, "Then you're under a lot of pressure. After all, everyone has started copying you."
Zeng Wenjie said, "He's just a copycat. I can suppress him with a flick of my hand."
"It seems that you have a lot of clever ideas in your mind. How did you come up with them?" Ye Yixiuan asked with a smile.
"Inspiration will fight in dreams, and you will just clean up the mess after you wake up." Zeng Wenjie raised his glass and said elegantly.
Ye Yixuan was startled by this and said, "That's quite a literary statement. It seems you have some knowledge. No wonder you have the audacity to call yourself a top student."
"I just borrowed some leftover ink from Cao Xueqin and filled in half of the absurdity." Zeng Wenjie said lightly.
"?" Ye Yixiuan was amused by him. This kid was a bit pretentious, which was quite interesting.
Zeng Wenjie said, "Sister Xuan is so elegant that she even goes to the teahouse to drink."
Ye Yixuan shook her head and said, "I also want to have fun, go to the bar, sing at the KTV, drive recklessly to a deserted place and get drunk for three days and three nights. But my work and status don't allow me to do that. I live a very restrained life."
Zeng Wenjie looked at her deeply. As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and her mother died early, perhaps she was carrying some heavy responsibilities?
Going to the teahouse and drinking seems to be her only way to relax.
As expected, there is no easy word in the adult world. Even the glamorous Ye Yixiuan is troubled by this.
"Do you need some more wine?" Zeng Mi knocked on the door, then pushed it open and said with a smile.
"It's okay to have some more. We have a day off tomorrow, so why don't you join us?" Ye Yixiuan said.
Zeng Mi nodded happily, walked up with the drinks, and said to Zeng Wenjie, "Little brother, come sit over there."
This can be said to be a very deliberate teasing. After all, the seat is so wide that any other older boy would have blushed long ago.
But Zeng Wenjie patted his thigh without changing his expression and said, "If Sister Zeng Mi doesn't mind, just sit on my lap."
Ye Yixiuan rolled her eyes.
Zeng Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and said to Ye Yixuan, "He really is quite interesting!"
As he spoke, he walked around Zeng Wenjie and sat in the empty seat.
So, the drinking team became three people, but the atmosphere was not lively and there was always a rather dull feeling.
Zeng Wenjie felt that this atmosphere was weird. After all, drinking was a happy and joyful thing, so a lively and noisy atmosphere would be most appropriate.
This inexplicably elegant atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable. Perhaps it would be most appropriate to let Feng Xiao come and drink with them.
Ye Yixiuan is a bit aloof, while Zeng Mi is a bit melancholy.
The two of them were talking about some trivial matters, and Zeng Wenjie was left aside.
"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Xuan, this is inappropriate. You invited me to drink and left me out in the cold!" Zeng Wenjie shouted immediately.
"It's rare to see a boy dare to yell at you." Zeng Mi couldn't help laughing.
"He is just like that, always noisy." Ye Yixiuan looked at Zeng Wenjie helplessly and smiled.
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's so boring to drink like this. Why don't we play some games?"
Ye Yixuan was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "What game do you want to play?"
Zeng Wenjie said to Zeng Mi, "Sister, please go get me a deck of playing cards."
As expected, Zeng Wenjie slightly livened up the atmosphere.
