Chapter 32 A Day Off 2
S City is a prosperous city. After nightfall, the city’s tall buildings will reflect various colors of light, and the lights on the streets will illuminate every road on the street.
They met in the center of a commercial street, and the first person they saw was Liu Lili.
He was wearing black-framed glasses, his hair was tied up casually, and he was holding a book in his hand. He was standing at the door of a store, looking intently with his head down in the light.
Youyu walked gently to her side and patted her shoulder.
She was startled at first, but when she saw Youyu's face, she was immediately surprised and happy.
"Fish!"
Then he rushed over and hugged her.
Youyu held her waist and said, "Are you tired recently? I feel like you've lost weight again."
She let go of Youyu and said nonchalantly, "It's normal to be tired after studying. But how's your work going recently? Are you still staying up late?"
With words of concern coming one after another, my restless heart became at peace again.
"I quit my job and now I don't stay up late."
"I told you not to work in the media industry. You're just stubborn. It's better to quit. Then ask Shi Ran's boyfriend to introduce you to a new job. It won't be much better than this."
"Okay, okay, I'm resigning now, right?"
"You said the same thing last time... They're coming!"
Two girls were walking towards them in the distance, waving at them from a distance.
The taller one is Loli. Although her name is Loli, she is not a loli at all. Her oppressive height and bright appearance make people feel intimidated.
Everyone thought so when they first met, but Lori was actually a very easy person to get along with.
The shorter one is Shi Ran. The most noticeable thing about her is her cool-toned fair skin. Now that she has short hair, she looks less pure and more steady and capable.
Shirt on top, jeans on bottom. Since she became a civil servant, she basically stops wearing skirts, saying that it makes her look more stable.
Luo Li walked forward quickly, "You guys came so early?"
Youyu smiled and said, "I just got here a while ago."
Liu Lili teased Luo Li: "Busy man, you finally have some free time."
Luo Li sighed, "I finally got a permanent position, so of course I have to work harder to gain a foothold in the law firm."
Liu Lili gave a thumbs up, "Strong woman."
Youyu climbed onto Shiran's shoulders and laughed, and they held on to each other, unable to stand steadily.
Shi Ran managed to steady herself, looked at her watch, and interrupted their chat: "Let's go in and eat. I've booked a restaurant."
If anyone among the four is the richest, it would be Shi Ran. Shi Ran’s boyfriend is a young man in a real estate agency. Before Shi Ran graduated, he gave her a card that can be used to spend anything below 50 million yuan.
But up to now, maybe not much has been spent. In Shi Ran's words, it is his duty to treat her lovely friend to a good meal, but he can earn his own money and does not need to spend his money.
So even though her boyfriend is a second-generation rich, apart from daily dates, they rarely spend his money.
When it comes to spending among them, whoever has more money pays for the meal, and they never argue over it.
The restaurant we booked this time was in the South District, and it took quite a while to walk there.
The restaurant's lobby is a place for instant dining and non-delightful dining. The restaurant also opens three private rooms for reservation every day. You don't have to order dishes, as it all depends on the chef's mood to decide what to eat today.
There was a large round table in the box, and the four people sat close to each other on the left and right sides.
Luo Li knocked on the table with her hand: "Drink?"
Shi Ran: "Have a drink. I can ask the driver to take you back today."
Liu Lili lay on the table, listlessly, "Have a drink. I've been suffering from insomnia lately. I fall asleep when I'm drunk."
Liu Lili had dark circles under her eyes that couldn't be hidden even by the thick lenses.
Youyu pushed aside her bangs and said, "You look haggard. Did your master's wife embarrass you again?"
Luo Li: "She is like this every day. She was like this when she was in college. The dark circles under her eyes never went away."
Liu Lili complained: "Don't mention it, our advisor's wife is a weirdo. She graduated with a PhD in her forties and now can't find a job after returning to China. She orders us around in the lab every day."
Shi Ran asked in surprise: "Over forty?"
Liu Lili propped up her head with her hands, "Yes, I got my PhD from Country D."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them laughed out loud.
You Yu laughed as he said that classic passage: "Don't be afraid of the three years at the University of Country D, because these five years will become the most meaningful ten years of your life."
This is a joke about international students from Country D that is circulating on the Internet. It shows how difficult it is to study in Country D.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Lili also became more energetic after laughing. "Now that I think about it, I can understand her."
The manager opened the door and came in, holding an uncorked bottle of red wine in his hand.
After coming in, he simply said hello and then started introducing this wine.
"This bottle of red wine is Antonin Tignanello. Antonin is the first winemaking family in Country Y... The red wine has a rich fruity aroma and is very suitable for..."
"This wine was specially selected by our chef tonight to pair with today's meal. I hope you enjoy your meal!"
"If you need anything, please call the waiter at the door. We won't disturb you while you are dining."
After saying that, he placed the red wine on the table, bent down and turned to leave.
You Yuyan smiled and said, "I never understood why I had to know so many things just to drink."
Liu Lili said nonchalantly: "If you have money and nothing to do, you will find out."
Shi Ran agreed, "Yes, if you let Chang Qing drink red wine, he will also nag a lot."
Chang Qing is Shi Ran's boyfriend.
The bottle of red wine was closest to Lori, so she poured a little for each of them.
Youyu took a sip and said, "Not bad."
Luo Li teased: "Of course it's not bad. This bottle of wine costs more than a thousand. It smells like money. Chang Qing helped to book this restaurant, right?"
Liu Lili took a sip and said, "Speaking of Chang Qing, are you planning to get married?"
Shi Ran pondered for a moment, "It should be about getting married. Chang Qing does want to get married, but I wonder if marriage can bind a person's heart? If not, what's the point of getting married?"
Luo Li replied, "You can't tie up people, but you can tie up money."
Shi Ran leaned back in his chair, sipped the red wine, and said calmly, "I'm not short of money."
Youyu stared at the red wine in a trance, "That's the truth."
Although Shi Ran's parents were divorced, they left her enough money to live on. Although Lori's parents were ordinary working class people, they never asked her for a penny. Liu Lili's parents only put pressure on her to continue studying, and there was never any financial pressure on her.
Among this group of people, the only one who had ever felt pressured about money was Youyu.
Shi Ran turned around and asked, "Are your parents still asking you for money?"
Youyu supported his chin with one hand, "Yeah."
Liu Lili grabbed her forearm and asked, "Didn't you just resign?"
Luo Li: "Resigned? Do you still have money now?"
Shi Ran frowned, "Do you want me to lend you some first?"
The three of them only knew that Youyu made some money from live streaming when she was a freshman, but they also knew that Youyu transferred a large part of the money to her parents.
Ever since Youyu's parents knew that Youyu could make money, they asked Youyu to give them 5,000 yuan for household expenses every month.
It’s a good thing that Youyu made some money during the live broadcast, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to work.
Facing several concerned faces, Youyu tried not to make them worry and just said lightly: "I'm back to live streaming again."
This means no pressure on money.
Shi Ran asked: "You won't work in the media anymore?"
Youyu nodded.
The three of them looked at each other silently. Others didn't know, but they three knew that live streaming was so profitable, so why didn't Youyu continue live streaming.
It is because at this time, live streaming is not considered a very glorious profession in everyone’s eyes, especially for female anchors.
When Youyu applied for a major, he chose a different major without telling his parents. It was not because he liked it, but because he wanted to prove his ability to his parents who always controlled him.
The results are obvious and dismal.
So of course they were a little worried about her.
In fact, the final reason why You Yu gave up the media industry was that the money she had was not enough to meet her daily needs and pay for her household expenses.
But she won't say these.
After eating and drinking, Youyu, as the only sober lady present, carried them one by one to the car driven by Shi Ran's family driver.
I also told the driver to make sure he saw them walk into the house before I got off the car with peace of mind.
This driver was hired by Chang Qing, and he would only come out with them when they were playing together, because Chang Qing knew very well what this group of people would do when they got together.
Youyu did not get into the driver's car, but went to a nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of beer.
On this busy street, I found a place where there were relatively few people, sat down with my arms around my knees, and drank my drink intermittently.
She doesn't worry about safety here, as there are luxury stores everywhere and security is everywhere.
No matter how delicious the red wine was, what she remembered most was the taste of the dense bubbles.
The air in the city is not that good. The evening breeze brings the smell of car exhaust.
She just stared at the cars speeding past on the road, lost in thought.
For a moment, she wondered wildly, would the people in the car notice that she was spying on them?
The people in the car didn't notice that Youyu was spying on them, and Youyu didn't notice that someone was looking at her above her head.
moment.
"Tell a driver to wait over there."
A deep and magnetic voice sounded in the empty box.
The phone screen on the table, which was still on, showed a leave message: I’m going out with friends and need a day off.
The private room in the second-floor restaurant is a great spot for viewing the scenery.
