\/Whoever brings the person will naturally be on his side.
Seeing that the people brought by Jiang Xun were so rude, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but stand up. He couldn't stand straight, and asked with a nonchalant look on his face: "Are soldiers so rude when they encounter a free meal?"
His words destroyed the atmosphere greatly.
"What?" Lang Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You can't afford your elder brother anymore? Are you going to give in?"
The monkey didn't know whether to respond or not to respond when asked this question, so he was just left there.
Jiang Xun ordered the dishes he wanted, closed the menu, and said with a smile: "Langchuan, it's wrong for you to ask this. Your sister-in-law invited you, so naturally we should pay the bill! Just order whatever you want, don't think too much about it."
After saying that, he handed the menu to Ji Lin next to him.
"Wait." Nie Fan stopped him. "You don't have to treat me! You only make a few dollars a month. Do you know how much this meal will cost? Isn't the money you spend my sister's money?"
"What do you want to say?" Jiang Xun folded his hands and rested them on his chin, looking at Nie Fan indifferently.
...
...
"Haha." Ji Lin laughed dryly. "You look down on me too much! Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the meal, and neither does our brother Jiang! We had already figured out how to pay the moment we sat down."
After he finished speaking, he took out thirty yuan from his jacket pocket and slapped it on the table, "This is my meal money!"
Langchuan also took out thirty yuan from his pocket: "This is my meal money!"
"And mine!"
"mine!"
“…”
Several soldiers put their money on the table and focused their eyes on Nie Fan.
"What? Can we eat this meal?" Ji Lin raised his eyebrows.
This action was undoubtedly a slap in Nie Fan's face. He originally wanted to give Jiang Xun a warning, but who could have thought that he would be so embarrassed by the other party.
"I can eat." Nie Fan was too lazy to pretend. He threw all his manners, his steadiness and his maturity out of his mind. "Deputy battalion commander, right? Then I want to ask, can soldiers eat and drink as much as they want in such occasions? Doesn't your discipline require a simple and frugal life? If everyone carries so much money to eat in such a high-end restaurant, and they are wearing military uniforms, won't this affect the reputation of the army?"
"Nie Fan!" Ye Li could see through Nie Fan's hostility at this time. Even if she was slow-witted, she could understand the problem. "What are you talking about? They are not here to eat and drink, they are here to meet their comrades. I invite them to sit down and have a meal! These are your brother-in-law's friends, and they are also my friends! I ask you to give them the respect they deserve!"
Ye Li's words were like a knife stabbing into Nie Fan's heart.
His cheeks twitched twice and his breathing almost stopped at that moment.
He took two deep breaths and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth twice and didn't know what to say.
Seeing him like this, Ji Lin didn't need to say anything more, as he already understood about 70% of the situation in his heart: "My dear little brother, your doubts are reasonable, and I am not angry. But before you question me, I also have a question for you. I want to ask, do you know how much this meal cost? I tell you, this meal cost is half a year's income for ordinary people, or even more. I heard that you don't have a stable job. Since you don't have a job, where do you get so much money to pay the bill? I reasonably suspect that your source of income is not normal!"
"Yes, they are all abnormal." Langchuan pointed at Monkey, Shao Bing, Lei Zi who didn't speak, and several other people.
Ji Lin added, "Okay, I have a few friends in the Public Security Bureau, and one in the Economics Department. Why don't we ask them to step in and investigate!"
His words really stunned Nie Fan and his friends.
Everyone stood there in a daze, not daring to move or say a word.
The atmosphere at the dinner table changed instantly and became completely quiet.
Ji Lin sneered twice: "Haha."
It would have been fine if he hadn't laughed, but after he laughed the atmosphere in the room became even colder and more awkward.
Ye Li looked at Jiang Xun, with a look of help in his eyes.
Jiang Xun patted her arm, signaling her not to worry, and then said, "Ji Lin, what are you doing? This is your sister-in-law's brother. He is not your biological brother, but he is better than your biological brother! He is protecting your sister-in-law with all his heart! For such a small matter, there is no need to let the police intervene."
"Listen to Brother Jiang." Ji Lin agreed readily. He added, "Brother Jiang is my company commander. If he hadn't been injured while on duty, he would have been promoted to deputy battalion commander, not me! You don't know what kind of person he is. I hope you won't look down on him. If I knew you were going to bully Brother Jiang, I wouldn't be polite to you!"
There is a reason why monkeys are called monkeys.
Besides being thin, he is also very quick-witted and knows how to assess situations.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Ji, right? Don't worry, don't worry. How could we look down on Jiang... Jiang's brother-in-law, right? No way! We are all family!"
"Yes, we are all family! What happened today was definitely a misunderstanding! Look, the dishes are all here, let's eat and drink. Thanks to my brother-in-law, we are able to meet several leaders in the army. It's our honor! We must cherish this opportunity!" Lei Zi, who had been silent, quickly stood up and agreed with Monkey to smooth things over.
"Okay, stop talking and eat!" Jiang Xun signaled both sides to be quiet.
His words helped Nie Fan out of the predicament. Nie Fan no longer had the momentum he had just now, nor did he have the feeling of unwillingness to accept it.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Jiang Xun smiled.
Ji Lin and Jiang Xun looked at each other and smiled. They both understood each other tacitly.
After the meal, Nie Fan drank a little too much.
"I can't hold it anymore. I need to go to the bathroom." He stood up and stumbled out.
"I'll help you." Shao Bing also stood up.
"You sit down and eat, I'll go take a look." Jiang Xun stopped Shao Bing, stood up and followed him out.
"Jiang Xun." Ye Li called him, "Nie Fan is not in a good mood. This matter is caused by me. Let me go with you!"
She was still wrong.
She thought that Nie Fan treated her like a sister, but today it seems that is not the case.
"You don't have to go." Jiang Xun pushed her down on the seat, "Let me go! We have something to talk about. If you go, it might not be convenient."
