After spending most of the day with Vasily, who had no military consciousness at all, Zhao Xiaohai returned to the hotel reeking of alcohol and women's makeup, it was already late at night.
After returning to his room drunk, Zhao Xiaohai was shocked to find that Jin Lulu and Li Qiang were still awake. Both of them had long faces and were sitting on the sofa, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding the food on the coffee table. It was obvious that they were still waiting for him, the boss, to come back for dinner.
"Brother, why did you come back just now?" Li Qiang stood up first when he saw Zhao Xiaohai come in. He rushed to the door and supported his drunk and staggering elder brother, saying with a worried look on his face, "You're still so drunk, I was worried to death."
As he said this, he supported Zhao Xiaohai and walked into the house. He said to Jin Lulu, who was still sitting on the sofa with a pout on her face, "Sister Jin, make a cup of tea for Big Brother. Make sure it's a stronger one. And, get a wet towel."
"I'm not going," Jin Lulu pouted, and the eldest brother said unhappily, "Look at him. He's been out since noon and just returned now, leaving the two of us here without a care. Now he's back, but he's drunk like this. It's a pity we were still waiting for him to eat."
"Haha, Lulu is angry?" Zhao Xiaohai burped as Li Qiang helped him sit down on the bed. He said with a smile, "I have no choice. Dealing with those old Russians, all kinds of social activities are inevitable. If I don't come back during dinner these few days, you don't have to wait for me. Okay, Qiangzi, don't be busy. Go eat first. Ah, brother, I'm not drunk yet. I'll sit here for a while."
"Why don't you have a cigarette?" Li Qiang took a pillow from the bed, placed it behind the boss, helped him lean against the head of the bed, and said.
"Well, okay, let me have a cigarette, let me have a cigarette..." Zhao Xiaohai was a heavy smoker. He shook his head and mumbled in agreement.
"What are you smoking?" Li Qiang had just taken out a cigarette from his pocket when Jin Lulu got angry. She stood up from the sofa, rushed over in a few steps, snatched the cigarette from Li Qiang, and then threw the cigarette box straight to the door with a flick of her arm. "No wonder people say men become bad when they have money. Look at you, now you smoke, drink, and have women. You have all the bad habits. You are already so drunk, and you still let Qiangzi smoke... Really... I don't know what's going on in your head."
Jin Lulu's scolding was so harsh that it stunned the two men. One of them was lying and the other was standing, facing each other, looking at each other, neither of them knowing what to say.
After scolding Zhao Xiaohai, Jin Lulu seemed to have let go of her anger. She busily brewed a cup of strong tea, then ran to the bathroom to get a wet towel. She carefully wiped Zhao Xiaohai's face, who was still in a daze, and then said softly, "How are you? Do you feel better?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, much better, much better, thank you Lulu." Zhao Xiaohai said repeatedly, and there was naturally some flattery in his words.
"Oh..." Standing in front of the bed, looking at the man in front of her with a flushed face and bloodshot eyes, Jin Lulu sighed softly, then squatted down, reached out to hold the other's knees, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but before she could say it, tears flowed down her face.
"What's going on?!" Jin Lulu's tears scared Zhao Xiaohai, who had just come to his senses. He hurriedly put the teacup in his hand aside and asked carefully.
"I'm sorry, brother..." Jin Lulu said with tears in her eyes, half leaning over the bed.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Zhao Xiaohai felt a surge of gratitude as he looked at the woman in front of him who was secretly crying. He reached out his hand, gently stroked Jin Lulu's head, and said softly, "I don't blame you. I know you're doing this for my own good... Okay, okay, stop crying. You're making a fool of yourself by crying like this. Let's go eat. Ah, Qiangzi, come on, you should go too. Let's all go eat."
"Yeah." Wiping her tears, Jin Lulu stood up from the ground, then walked back to the sofa with Li Qiang without saying a word.
"Brother, how was the business negotiation today? Have you found a good way?" The food on the table was already cold, but Li Qiang didn't care. He held a bowl of rice and ate it tastelessly, and asked casually.
"That's about it. These Russians only care about money. As long as the money you give them is enough, they will do anything." Zhao Xiaohai leaned against the head of the bed and said disdainfully.
"So that means we can go back in a few days?" Jin Lulu had just stopped sobbing, and her voice sounded a little choked.
"What's wrong? You were crying and begging to come with me before, but now you're annoyed after just one day?" Zhao Xiaohai said with a smile.
"I just feel bored," Jin Lulu muttered. "I thought I could have some fun here, but this crappy place has nothing. Besides, you won't let me go out. I'm getting nauseous after staying in this crappy hotel all day."
"Haha, this place is different from China. If a pretty girl like you goes out and wanders around, it's easy for something to happen." Zhao Xiaohai said with a smile, "How about this, I don't have anything to do these two days anyway, let's go out and have a good look together tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!" Jin Lulu agreed quickly. "Let's go shopping together tomorrow. And, let's go to the casino and dance hall here. Oh, and the hotel waiter sent an invitation to my room today. They said they opened a new casino upstairs. I wanted to check it out, but Qiangzi wouldn't let me."
"It's right not to go to that kind of place," Zhao Xiaohai pinched his forehead and said, "The Russians chose to open a casino here, that's not a good intention. Their casino here only allows Chinese people to enter, the Russians themselves are prohibited from entering. Why is that? Isn't it to cheat us out of our money? So, we may have some money now, and in the future, we may become even richer. You two remember, our money can be used for food and drink, and can be used to enjoy life unscrupulously, but there are two things we absolutely cannot touch. One is gambling, and the other is drugs. Do you remember?"
