Chapter 84: Being tricked by good friend Jiang Chen
There are actually not many active people in this former high school group. After all, everyone has their own lives now, and the previous accounts may not be used anymore, so most of the people who are in this group now are doing okay.
Of course, Qin Lang was not there because Jiang Chen had told Qin Lang about this group and asked him if he wanted to join. Qin Lang said he had no interest in such things. He was busy playing with his children and playing Honor of Kings on his phone at the time. How could he have the time to play with these old noobs!
Qin Lang has complained to Jiang Chen several times because Jiang Chen doesn't play mobile games.
Anyway, the over and over again story is that Jiang Chen is old and can't keep up with the times of young people, which makes Jiang Chen laugh and cry.
Dong Zhijun was not in a good mood when he saw that people in the group still remembered Qin Lang. Although he wanted to see Qin Lang being looked down upon, Qin Lang had not made any moves for so many years, and some people still remembered Qin Lang, which made Dong Zhijun uncomfortable.
So Dong Zhijun continued.
Dong Zhijun: I'm not lying. I really did run into Qin Lang. My wife and I went to the Banshan Hotel today to book a banquet, and I spotted Qin Lang, the waiter there. He even served me tea and water. So I took the opportunity to invite him to my wedding reception. So everyone, come this time! Qin Lang, the school hunk, has given me such a great honor, how could you not come? Don't say you're busy with work. I've even reimbursed your travel expenses. If you don't come, you'd be unworthy of being a brother!
Just to let everyone come and see Qin Lang embarrassed, so Dong Zhijun was naturally willing to cover the travel expenses and prove his financial strength to his classmates. Maybe he could even have a love affair with him.
Liu Yunxuan: Are you talking about Qin Lang? I remember Qin Lang got married early and lived in his hometown. Why did he go to Mingzhu City? Would his family let him work? His two brothers are so pampered.
Liu Yunxuan is a beautiful, wealthy girl in the school, but she is arrogant. Later, because she wanted to inherit her father's family business, she came into contact with these well-off classmates. Most of the time, they were business contacts, and they didn't have much contact in other areas.
As for remembering Qin Lang, it was because although Qin Lang was handsome and a boy in school, he was protected by his brother like the apple of his eye. He would even faint when running, which scared the teacher so much that he didn't dare let Qin Lang run.
Therefore, the classmates have a deep memory of Qin Daiyu, and no one is in worse physical condition than her.
He fell ill during the college entrance examination and failed the test. He didn't even pass the junior college entrance examination score. Later I heard that he returned to his hometown to get married. It makes people sigh that life is unpredictable.
Dong Zhijun: I don't know. It might be because of the pressure of survival. He got married early in the countryside and had four children. So I guess he's working in Mingzhu City now for his children. He's a pitiful man.
Dong Zhijun sighed, as if he really sympathized with Qin Lang.
Jiang Chen, who knew the truth, scoffed at this, because he knew how much Qin Lang's wife doted on Qin Lang. Not to mention Qin Lang's parents and brother, even Qin Lang's elder and second brothers-in-law. The last time Jiang Chen went back to his hometown, which was during the Chinese New Year last year, he went to find Qin Lang specifically and drove to bring Qin Lang a lot of gifts. They were all picked up by the two brothers-in-law, and Qin Lang didn't even touch them.
This kind of person, you say he went out to work? Is it possible? Jiang Chen didn't believe it. He grew up with Qin Lang. Although they were not from the same village, Jiang Chen had worked for Qin Lang many times and knew him best.
Kang Yingying: Boss Dong, please send me the address. I'll definitely be there when the time comes.
That's right, Kang Yingying was the class beauty back then, and the person Dong Zhijun had a crush on for many years. Now she opened a plastic surgery hospital and was considered a leader among her classmates. It was said that she had been divorced from her husband for several years, and her appearance had not aged at all. Dong Zhijun wanted to invite his classmates this time simply because he wanted to see Kang Yingying with his own eyes. After all, Kang Yingying was his white moonlight.
Dong Zhijun: I've privately messaged you. I'll cover your round-trip fare. Just come, beautiful lady. If you'd like to come, please privately message me and I'll reimburse you. As for gifts, it's okay if you don't want to have a meal together after not seeing each other for ages. I just want to see you all again. I hope you'll come and support me. @All group members.
Afterwards, indeed, many people were willing to give Dong Zhijun this face. Dong Zhijun was in the construction industry. Although this job was tiring, it made money. In addition, the real estate industry had been developing very well in the past ten years. Dong Zhijun was also doing well and was considered a big leader in the branch company of Shenghui Real Estate Company.
Many people are willing to add him as a friend just to save money on houses, so Dong Zhijun has so many friends.
The group was very lively, and after reading the messages in the group, Jiang Chen couldn't help but call Qin Lang, who hadn't contacted him for many days.
It happened to be the afternoon break. Qin Lang saw Jiang Chen's name and remembered his good friend. Jiang Chen was a child from the county, but he had a good relationship with Qin Lang. The two hit it off at first sight. After graduating from high school, Qin Lang returned to his hometown to get married and have children. Jiang Chen went to college in another province and then opened a company outside. He was in the seafood business and also dealt in some seafood imported from abroad. Now the company is doing well and it is said that it has a breeding base abroad.
Every time Jiang Chen goes back to his hometown, he brings a lot of seafood products to Qin Lang, all of which are expensive king prawns and ivory clams. No matter how expensive they are, he gives them to Qin Lang. Qin Lang doesn't say anything and just eats them since his brother gives them to him. They really have a good relationship.
"Jiang Chen?"
Qin Lang had been so busy these days that he had forgotten about this person. Besides, Jiang Chen always took the initiative to call him, mostly when he was about to get home, or when he had something good to share and was happy to arrange seafood for him. So when he received Jiang Chen's call, Qin Lang remembered that he hadn't contacted Jiang Chen for a long time.
"You busy man, you still remember me? I see you haven't played games recently. What have you been busy with? Could it be true that as Dong Zhijun said, you went to work as a waiter in a hotel? If you can work, why would you be a waiter? Come to my place and take a position so you can chat with me when you have nothing to do."
Jiang Chen's company is good, with assets of hundreds of millions, all of which were earned by Jiang Chen's hard work over the years. He has invited Qin Lang to work several times, but Qin Lang said that it is impossible for him to work and he will never be able to work in his life.
So Jiang Chen was the first one who didn't believe that Qin Lang was going to work as a waiter at the Mid-Levels Hotel.
"You know that too? Are you in contact with Huang Zhijun?" Qin Lang was a little surprised.
"We have a group, have you forgotten? We set it up ten years ago, and I even asked you to join, but you looked down on me, saying that young people only use porn and only older, working people use WeChat. You flatly refused me, and even said, 'I don't play games, so don't talk to me like that.'"
Jiang Chen became very angry when he talked about this, and then added.
"Didn't I apply for a license to play games with you for a while? And you're such a complete idiot that you even want your son to lead you around. How dare you say that?"
That’s right, this is the truth about the game back then. Qin Lang has played other games over the years and would also call Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was scared of Qin Lang’s lack of skills and didn’t dare to play highly mobile games with him.
"Okay, I admit I'm terrible, no need for you to emphasize that, but Huang Zhijun invited me to his wedding. Are you coming? We just happened to meet in Mingzhu City."
Qin Lang hasn't seen his brother for a long time, so he just wanted to talk about his recent situation. He has some money on hand, so if his brother wants to invest, he can help.
"What the hell! Qin Lang, are you really working as a waiter at the Mid-Levels Hotel? You're scaring me!"
Jiang Chen, who was almost forty years old, was shocked. He couldn't believe that his good friend who didn't work suddenly became a down-to-earth waiter. Then he couldn't help but add a sentence.
"Are you feeling the pressure of going to school now that your children have grown up? If you don't have money, come to me. I'm their godfather after all. Giving them money is no problem. They can go to school and get married. Oh, and is Tianshuo getting married? I remember he works in Mingzhu City. Is he going to buy a house? You don't have to work anymore. I'll give Tianshuo two million. You don't have to pay it back. Just consider it as a godfather's financial support."
Jiang Chen is rich and takes good care of his good brother Qin Lang. Whenever he feels mentally exhausted or tired from work, he will feel much better after chatting with Qin Lang. Sometimes he envies Qin Lang's leisure, but he also understands that he is a person who likes to struggle. Now that he sees that Qin Lang can't even lie down, he immediately wants to give him money.
Good brothers don’t talk much, they just send money with just one sentence!
Qin Lang felt warm in his heart after hearing this, and planned to give the other party a surprise, so he said.
"No, Tianshuo's engagement is confirmed. His father-in-law has bought the house, so I don't have to worry about it. I came out to work for fun, and it's not very tiring. We can discuss the details when you come. I'm not short of money. If I were, would I not tell you?"
It is very happy to have such a good friend, but in my memory, the original owner cheated his family and asked Jiang Chen for money. Later, for many reasons, he went to Jiang Chen for help, and ended up destroying the company that Jiang Chen had worked hard for many years. It can be said that he is a friend with all the five evils.
Jiang Chen was 46 years old at the time, and was angered to death by the original owner. It was a very tragic thing.
"Okay then. See you then. Are you alone in Mingzhu City or are your sister-in-law and the others here? If so, I can get you some goodies."
This good thing is of course seafood from the sea, and Qin Lang did not refuse this time.
"Okay, bring it over and send it directly to Tianshuo Company. You know the address."
Seeing that Qin Lang didn't refuse this time, Jiang Chen finally felt relieved. The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Regarding Dong Zhijun's sarcastic remarks towards Qin Lang, Jiang Chen planned to go over and warn him in advance. What if Qin Lang was foolishly bullied? He was so weak, who would be responsible if something happened?
Qin Lang hung up the phone and was very much looking forward to the wedding. However, within a few minutes, he suddenly received a message on Alipay.
【Alipay received 100,000 yuan! 】
He picked up the phone and saw it was indeed from Jiang Chen. He was still worried that Qin Lang didn't have the money. If he didn't want two million, one hundred thousand would be fine, right? He also added a transfer reminder - "If you dare to return it to me, I will kill you."
In the end, Qin Lang accepted the 100,000 yuan, knowing that this brother was sincere to him.
Xu Huandong was also full of admiration for Qin Lang! Without Qin Lang's cooperation, even if Dong Zhijun wanted to hold an event, he wouldn't have chosen such an expensive one. So Xu Huandong felt that the wedding in ten days would definitely be a good show, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
After Qin Lang worked a day from eight in the morning to six in the evening, he took a bus back home and informed his family of the good news.
"I've found a job! As the assistant lobby manager at a villa halfway up the mountain!! And today I helped the manager negotiate a three million contract for a wedding banquet! Isn't that impressive?"
