Chen Lu looked up at Jiang Chao after the ripples from his phone falling into the water had completely disappeared. "Why don't you drive my car into the river too? I was just thinking of getting a new car."
"Boss, don't you say you're not scared?" Li Sinian asked with a smile.
"Yo yo yo, I'm super brave~" Chen Lu deliberately imitated Jiang Chao's tone, sat back down at the table, and didn't take it too seriously.
He's not short of money these days.
Jiang Chao was a little embarrassed by the mockery. He scratched his cheek with his index finger, "It attacked from behind; I was simply not mentally prepared..."
"You'll still be stubborn even after you're cremated." Chen Lu said with disdain, wondering who had been so smug just now.
Listening to the two of them, Jiang Chao suddenly realized that he was no longer used to Chen Lu calling him "boss".
The two are still brothers, but Chen Lu has gone from being his good roommate to the one who leads him to make money.
Life has its own rules. It's not a matter of whether you want to rebel or not, but rather that you are subtly changed the moment you come into contact with them.
"It's been a while since we've all gotten together, hasn't it?" Jiang Chao put aside his complicated thoughts and changed the subject.
The last time these people got together was when they won first prize in a competition.
Back then, the company was still in its infancy, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Although he had already anticipated that he and Li Sinian would gradually drift apart, Jiang Chao still felt a heavy weight on his heart when he truly experienced it now.
Chen Lu simply nodded and turned his gaze to Li Sinian, who was gnawing on a lamb chop, "How have you been lately?"
The other person's eyes immediately turned somewhat dejected. "What else can we do but wait for the exam?"
"What about Qin Wenxi? Are you still in contact?" Chen Lu continued to ask.
"......have."
Jiang Chao had already quietly lit another cigarette. He took a light drag, and the reddish cigarette butt stood out conspicuously in the night. He exhaled and said, "That means he's still licking it."
Li Sinian lowered his eyelids, pushed up his glasses, and said nothing.
After a while, he slowly added, "But she's much more proactive now than before."
"Are you sure this isn't because you've suddenly become so promising?" After a few drinks, Jiang Chao started speaking as ruthlessly as before, completely forgetting that he was there to curry favor with the person's relative.
A game license is the lifeblood of a mobile game company. Some companies that are barely hanging on and don't look like they'll survive until dawn can suddenly attract amazing investments just because their licenses have been approved.
Even if all else fails, this stuff can still be resold; there's a lot of room for manipulation behind the scenes. Even if you do nothing but sell it secretly, the profit is still tens of millions.
That's why some manufacturers' bosses might be planning to go to the rooftop one day, but the next day, once the license is issued, they're off indulging in all sorts of massages, foot baths, and debauchery.
But now that they meet again, he, as her roommate of several years, is more disappointed in her than pleased.
......
As the drinks on the table dwindled, the group began to talk more.
We chatted casually until past 11 p.m.
Li Sinian and Jiang Chao were somewhat tipsy, while Chen Lu maintained his habit of trying not to get drunk, and he was the only one who spoke relatively soberly.
But he was only relatively clear-headed; he had no idea what time it was and thought he had only been there for an hour.
"I'm going to relieve myself," Li Sinian said, swaying as he stood up.
Chen Lu grabbed his arm and stood up as well, saying, "Your dad is going too."
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard Jiang Chao's phone ringing.
They all stopped in their tracks and turned their gazes to Jiang Chao, who looked embarrassed.
This is going to be interesting.
Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at them, but reluctantly answered the call anyway.
"Hello?"
A slightly annoyed voice came through the phone: "Why haven't you been replying to my messages?"
"I was eating, the barbecue stalls over here were too noisy, I didn't hear it."
"Who are you with? Why did it take you past eleven o'clock to eat a meal?" Liu Yan's tone was very impatient, which showed that this was obviously not the first call she had made.
"Chen Lu, and Li Sinian. You can trust them, right?"
"Let Chen Lu say something."
Jiang Chao's cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking. Hearing this, he groggily held his phone up to the two of them and said, "Say...say something."
Chen Lu acted as if he hadn't heard anything, not saying a word, just blinking at him.
Jiang Chao panicked immediately, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, seemingly threatening something.
Just as the anger on the other end of the phone was about to reach its breaking point, Chen Lu quickly said, "I'm here, I'm here."
Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and took back his phone. "Did you hear that?"
"It's almost midnight! If you don't go back soon, you'll be dying out there!"
"Hello? The signal here is so bad. Hello? I'll hang up now and call you back later."
Jiang Chao hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
"What a coward," the two said in unison.
"What's there to be cowardly about! This is called following your heart!" Jiang Chaoyue retorted indignantly, "Why does your partner never check up on you?"
After saying that, he slapped himself again and quickly said, "Shut up, pretend I didn't ask anything."
Damn it, I almost gave this guy a chance to show off his love.
Chen Lu ignored this and went over to pat Jiang Chao on the shoulder, "Hurry up, I need to let you know I'm safe too."
He initially texted Liang Zhirou, but after his phone fell into the river, he has been out of contact ever since.
The silly guy probably doesn't even know how many times he's put his finger on his phone number and then moved it away.
