"We're going to join a pyramid scheme, do you want to come along?"
Xu Xiu rolled his eyes at Pang Wenjun.
"Old Xu, I'm good at this... I can even make the dead seem alive."
Those behind them burst out laughing upon hearing their conversation.
The private room at the hot pot restaurant, which was originally spacious, became unusually crowded due to the arrival of certain people.
Xu Xiu glanced at Wen Zhicai, who had just arrived, and told him to take those two idiots to a four-person booth and order whatever they wanted, as he would treat them.
After my roommate left, the private room suddenly felt much emptier.
Wen Zhicai, Pang Wenjun, and Xiao Xu arrived at the lobby and randomly found a four-person booth to sit down.
"Old Pang and Old Xiao, you two are really shameless. You even had the nerve to come along to their company dinner?"
"Old Wen, what you're saying is true. We were once one of them too."
Pang Wenjun retorted.
"You haven't even finished a week's work, and you have the nerve to say that?"
Wen Zhicai often helped out at the work station, and he didn't ask for any wages. He said he would come whenever he had free time, since he was idle anyway.
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu couldn't even last a week before giving up.
Knowing they were in the wrong, the two picked up the menu to order, and the conversation was getting a bit stale.
"Old Xu is magnanimous, but you shouldn't go too far with your ordering."
"Old Wen, what are you saying? Would we really betray our own godfather?"
"That's right, Lao Xu is like my second parents."
Xiao Xu chimed in from the side.
The two of them didn't order too much; the three of them ordered seven or eight dishes, mostly vegetables, and only one plate of meat.
Xu Xiu mostly ordered meat dishes in the private room, since there were many boys and boys of that age were particularly fond of eating.
The main reason I sent my roommate away was that I didn't go back to the dorm to sleep last night. If Pang Wenjun pressed me for details later, I wouldn't know how to explain it.
After all the dishes were served, Xu Xiu took a drink to the lobby and saw his roommate drinking free plum juice.
"You guys eat vegetarian food?"
"Old Xu, what brings you out here?"
Pang Wenjun asked with a puzzled look.
"I'm not having dinner with the boss, who can tell me what to do?"
"That makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
"Mr. Xu, I am Xiao Xu, your loyal fan."
"Go away, Lao Xiao, stop disgusting me."
Xu Xiu couldn't bear to look at Xiao Xu's fawning expression. Xiao Xu and Wen Zhicai were both quite handsome in the dormitory, except for Pang Wenjun, who looked like an ordinary passerby.
After chatting with his roommates for a few minutes, Xu Xiu left and returned to the private room to order seven or eight meat dishes for his roommates outside.
Just as Pang Wenjun was wondering whether to order anything else, the waiter inexplicably came over and served the dishes, all of which were elaborate dishes.
The group exchanged glances, and Wen Zhicai asked, "Who ordered this dish?"
The waiter pointed to the private room not far away, "This is what the guests in room 202 ordered for you."
At this moment, all three fell silent. Pang Wenjun was secretly moved and thought to himself, "My godfather still cares about his child."
Xiao Xu was almost wiping away tears as he ate, the scene reminding him of what happened in Shanghai.
"Xiao Xu, why didn't you tell me you were so rich?"
Are you just going to watch me get scammed?
Xiao Xu dressed up specially according to Xu Xiu's instructions, using the clothes and car he provided, along with extras from his company, and even found two beautiful bar girls to play his assistants.
"I've tried to persuade you, but you won't listen. Since you won't listen, why should I try to persuade you again?"
Xiao Xu's words were so harsh, yet Yan Bingxia still spoke softly:
"Brother Xu, you've always indulged me since we were little, and you've always forgiven me no matter what I did wrong."
"I was out of my mind to leave you, but I regret it now."
"I really regret it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu gave a bitter laugh and said, "Actually, I regret it too."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Xu said to the people around him, "Thank you all for your help. Let's go back now."
After speaking, he bowed to the men in black and his beautiful assistant around him.
The group left while Yan Bingxia was still dumbfounded.
Some people and some things can only be understood after experiencing them.
"Old Xiao, what's wrong?"
You're this moved by Lao Xu just ordering a few dishes casually?
But Pang Wenjun looked at Xiao Xu, who was staring blankly for no apparent reason, and whose eyes were slightly red, and he didn't think she was moved by Lao Xu.
"You're just eating your mutton, why are you always involved everywhere?"
After regaining his senses, Xiao Xu said with disdain.
After Xu Xiu ordered the food, he found that the lamb that had just been served was gone, and there were only a few slices of beef left in the pot. Not to mention the meat, the vegetables were almost all gone, and there were still some left because the meatballs took a little longer to cook.
Just as he was looking helpless, Xiao Ruoyan handed him a small bowl filled with mutton and beef.
At this moment, Xu Xiu thought to himself, "Having a girlfriend who cares about you is truly a blessing."
"Ruoyan, no wonder you put so much meat on your plate but didn't eat any. I wanted some, but you wouldn't give it to me."
"So it was meant for Xu Xiu. How thoughtful of you."
Wang Mengqi whispered from the side.
"Xiao Fan has no sense at all. All he knows is to eat and eat. Didn't he see that Meng Qi's bowl is empty?"
Xu Xiu, sitting next to Xiao Ruoyan, naturally heard Wang Mengqi's words and quickly used his brother as a shield.
Ning Bufan hasn't confessed his feelings a second time yet, and his current relationship with Wang Mengqi is like that of a couple but not quite.
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, Ning Bufan hurriedly began to serve himself various dishes. However, as the saying goes, late-coming affection is worth less than grass, especially when it was someone else who reminded him.
But Wang Mengqi was already unhappy. Ning Bufan looked at Xu Xiu with resentment in his eyes. "I was eating perfectly fine, Lao Xu, you're such a bad brother."
Xu Xiucai didn't care about all that; his own happiness was more important, and his brother's happiness was entirely up to fate.
They found the mutton that Xiao Ruoyan had left for them particularly delicious. Just as everyone was finishing their meal and preparing to leave...
Pang Wenjun suddenly walked in. "Old Xu, do you want to go back to the dorm to sleep tonight?"
"Um?"
"What?"
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi both looked at Xu Xiu.
Then she turned to look at Xiao Ruoyan, wondering if they had...
Xu Xiu realized things were going badly. His mind raced, and after a brief silence of about 0.5 seconds, he immediately retorted:
"I worked overtime until midnight at my new company yesterday and I'm exhausted. If I don't come home to sleep today, where am I supposed to sleep?"
"I guess I'll be working overtime on weekends from now on, so I've even got a room at the company."
Watching Xu Xiu lie without batting an eye, Xiao Ruoyan suddenly felt a little scared.
"Old Xu, if you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight. Is being a boss so easy?"
"We'll head back now. We'll wait for you to rank up tonight. Remember to balance work and rest."
After saying his goodbyes, Pang Wenjun closed the door and left.
Xu Xiu cursed inwardly, "You want me to carry you to higher ranks? Carry you my ass!"
The people in the private room had almost finished eating and got up to leave. Xu Xiu, Xiao Ruoyan, and Ning Bufan left together, while the other classmates also left in twos and threes.
On the way, Xiao Ruoyan asked in a low voice, "Xiu, how do you manage to lie without blushing or skipping a beat?"
"That's because I never lie to important people. In front of you, let alone lying, even speaking normally makes my heart race."
