"Come on, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu, let's get started!"
Du Chen urged the two to start playing. It was difficult to explain it clearly, so it was better to just get started.
“Bang!”
Liu Yuying played like she was playing nine-ball, all the red balls exploded with one shot, and she said it proudly.
"Hahaha, look at my awesome shot!"
Du Chen looked at Liu Yuying who was laughing and didn't know what to say. All the words he just said were in vain!
Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao on the side also looked over here curiously. Du Bin was even acting as a supporting actor, praising Liu Yuying all the time.
"Uncle Liu, this shot is so crisp!"
Du Chen looked at the two silly people and thought that Du Bin and Liu Yuying should play together. Is playing billiards just about who's stronger? Then why bother playing billiards? Let's go wrestling.
Not to mention that Du Chen continued to teach Liu Yuying and Wang Lei how to play, on the other side, Lao Ding and Lao Du were standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for the arrival of today's guests.
"Old Ding, how are you feeling today?"
Comrade Lao Du handed Lao Ding a cigarette and asked him something.
“Excited and nervous!”
Since it was just the two of them, Lao Ding just directly expressed his current thoughts.
"You should be excited, but there's no need to be nervous!"
Comrade Lao Du was grinning from ear to ear. It was rare to see Lao Ding nervous. It was quite interesting.
"Nonsense, how can I not be nervous? We've invested so much money, and we're almost forty years old. I didn't expect to go crazy."
Old Ding took a puff of his cigarette and spoke with mixed emotions. He had also heard the gossip from people around him, saying that he was giving up his job and not going to work, that he was already middle-aged and still so immature and unstable, and that he was actually going into the sea at such an old age.
"Tsk, what's the big deal? My second oldest son said something that I think makes a lot of sense. He said if we don't do something crazy now, we'll get old! If I work like I used to, working like a normal person, how much can I earn working so hard every day? Can I buy a house and a car like I can in the city now? That's just a dream!"
Comrade Lao Du comforted Lao Ding while thinking about the changes in his own family.
"Lao Du, do you have any ideas for the future?"
Since no one has come yet, Lao Ding just chats with Comrade Lao Du. He is free anyway.
"We'll take it one step at a time. For now, I just need to do the things I have on hand well, raise my children well, and save some money for my two brothers. That will satisfy me."
"As for myself, I just want to take my wife out for a walk, raise some fish and flowers, and have a drink and chat with you. I don't have any other ideas."
Comrade Lao Du expressed his aspirations.
"Hey, Lao Ding, congratulations!"
While they were chatting, Lao Ding and Lao Du's friends started to come over one after another. Lao Ding and Lao Du were busy entertaining them. Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong also arranged for everyone to walk around the gym and take a look.
"Leizi, there are quite a lot of people here, let's stop playing for now! Let's go out and take a look!"
Liu Yuying looked at the increasing number of people and felt that she and Wang Lei were two conspicuous bags, so she suggested going out to take a look.
"Let's go, I can't wait any longer!"
Wang Lei also put down his club and immediately agreed to Liu Yuying's proposal.
Du Chen, Du Bin, and Ding Miaomiao packed up the pool table and went downstairs to the courtyard, where groups of people were already lighting fires and preparing for a barbecue. Du Chen and the others followed Du and Ding, helping out everywhere.
It was not even noon yet, but the aroma of barbecue was already wafting through the yard, along with the laughter of some of the guests' children. The whole yard seemed extremely lively.
The party was so lively that it wasn't until around three in the afternoon when the guests gradually left. Lao Du, Lao Ding and others collapsed in their chairs. It was lively, but also very tiring.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, what's up? Are you planning on having dinner before leaving?"
Because they had a pretty good relationship, Lao Ding directly asked Liu Yuying and Wang Lei who were sitting next to them. All the other guests had left, and only the two of them were still sitting there as steady as a rock.
"That's great! Ding Suo, tell me what are you treating us to dinner tonight?"
Wang Lei said to Lao Ding with a smile. Lao Ding was stunned for a moment. Your mother is too shameless.
"What do you two bosses want to eat? Let us poor people have a taste!"
Looking at the stunned Lao Ding, Comrade Lao Du took over Wang Lei's words.
"Leizi, shut up! If you don't find it embarrassing, then I do!"
Liu Yuying looked at the shameless Wang Lei and felt helpless towards her childhood friend.
"Captain Ding, Brother Du, how much does your gym charge? I think it's quite interesting. I plan to come over and sit and play when I have nothing to do in the future."
Liu Yuying asked Comrade Xiang Lao Du and Comrade Du, he thought this place was nice and he could bring some friends here to play in the future.
"Mr. Liu, I think you can just pay a one-time fee of three to five thousand yuan, and then deduct the fee each time you come to play. Anyway, I'll give you twenty yuan an hour. What do you think?"
Lao Ding and Lao Du discussed pricing for a long time, and finally settled on a time-based rate of 20 yuan per hour, which was easier to calculate. Du Chen also suggested adding a tea room, self-service facilities, and other amenities. He envisioned a guildhall-style model, though he had never been to one.
"Okay, Brother Du, I'll buy a 5,000 yuan membership! How about you, Leizi?"
Liu Yuying was not short of money as he was in the coal business, and this place suited his taste, so he directly recharged 5,000 yuan.
"You've already topped up, so I can't fall behind! Brother Du, please top up a 5,000 yuan membership for me too!"
Wang Lei was not to be outdone and directly recharged his membership with 5,000 yuan.
"Old Ding, look at how much support Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang have for you. Shouldn't you show some support tonight?"
Looking at the dazed Lao Ding, Comrade Lao Du directly teased Lao Ding. Jia Xiaomin and Ren Surong on the side were also a little surprised. Although they knew that Liu Yuying and Wang Lei were rich, they didn't expect that they didn't take money seriously.
"Okay, I'll treat you tonight, you pick the place!"
At this time, Lao Ding also reacted and immediately spoke to several people.
"Brother Ding Suodu, there's no rush to eat! I still have something to ask you!"
Wang Lei said a little embarrassedly at this time.
"What's the matter?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Wang Lei curiously, and even Liu Yuying looked at Wang Lei strangely, wondering if he had anything else to ask.
"Brother Du, I think your outfit is quite fashionable. I heard Chenchen say that you have a clothing store and it was Chenchen who matched your clothes. Is that true?"
Wang Lei asked the question that had been on his mind. Du Chen looked at him and thought, well, this is also a conceited person.
"That's right. Why, do you want to have one too?"
Comrade Lao Du said to Wang Lei with a helpless look on his face.
"That's right, this outfit is so smart! The clothes I bought in Beijing are just so-so, they don't look good on me at all!"
