Chapter 592: A Cultured Upstart?
"Would you like to eat together?"
Sun Quan glanced at the dishes on his table and asked a kind word, he had already eaten more than half of the dishes on the table, and he estimated that Tang Xin would not agree to eat together.
Sure enough, Tang Xin glanced at the dishes on his table, shook his head with a smile, "No, next time! I still have two colleagues today, next time!"
Sun Quan: "Okay, then next time!"
Tang Xin smiled and waved his hand at him, and walked to an empty table not far away with two colleagues who were smiling reservedly, Sun Quan glanced twice, smiled, lowered his head and continued to eat his own.
He didn't expect to meet Tang Xin here tonight, but a few kind words to each other were enough, he didn't have any other thoughts, a few years ago, he didn't have that kind of idea about Tang Xin, and a few years later, it is still the same.
If his current marriage is not satisfactory, maybe he will have other thoughts, but he is now happily married, and seeing that in a few months, the second baby will be born, where is he still interested in the flowers and plants outside?
......
"Tang Xin, that friend of yours just now seems to be quite rich, how did you know each other?"
Not far away, Tang Xin, who had just sat down, asked her curiously by her slender colleague.
The plump woman glanced at Sun Quan and asked, "Yes!
Both women looked at Tang Xin curiously.
The smile on Tang Xin's face faded, and he maintained a faint smile, and said, "A friend I met a few years ago, I haven't been in touch for a long time. ”
The plump woman asked curiously, "How did you meet?"
Tang Xin blinked, lowered his head slightly, and wiped the table with a tissue, "A senior in my college met by a chance coincidence. ”
The slender woman's upper body leaned slightly, "Oh, senior, he chased you before, right? hehe." ”
Plump woman: "Hey, hey!"
The two women let out a wicked laugh, as if they were sure of the matter.
Tang Xin shook his head, "No, you think too much!"
At this time, a waiter came over with a menu, but the fat woman couldn't help but ask: "Really? No, he looks very handsome, and he seems to be quite rich, even if he hasn't chased you, you haven't hooked up with him?"
Tang Xin glanced up at her, and his tone was affirmative, "No!"
The thin woman couldn't help but glance at Sun Quan not far away again, and asked in a low voice, "That...... Why don't you give me his contact information? I have a good impression of him, don't you want it, don't waste it!"
The fat woman also said, "Yes, yes, yes, I don't think he's very old, he shouldn't be married yet, do you know if he has a girlfriend?"
"Good evening three guests! This is the menu, please shout when you order it!"
The waiter who came over put the menu and a pencil in front of Tang Xin, Tang Xin picked up the pen, marked a few vegetarian dishes on the menu, waited for the waiter to walk a little farther, shook his head and said, "Don't think about it! No chance, people are already married, I heard that the children have been born, so you two better save it!"
"Married? Won't you? Married at such a young age?"
The slender woman was surprised, and the plump woman was also surprised, "Is it really fake? The children have all been born? Tang Xin! You won't be reluctant to introduce it to us, and you said that on purpose, right?"
"Mandarin duck pot bottom?"
Tang Xin looked up and asked the two of them.
The plump woman and the slender woman were speechless for a moment, and then nodded one after another.
Tang Xin lowered his head and casually drew a mandarin duck pot on the menu, and said casually: "99 Yellow Braised Chicken knows, right? He is the boss! Want to make sure if he is married, when you have time to go to 99 Yellow Braised Chicken for dinner, you can ask the waiter in the store, maybe people will know." ”
"99 Yellow Braised Chicken?"
The plump woman was even more surprised.
The slender woman couldn't help but glance at Sun Quan not far away, blinked, and whispered, "No, isn't it? This is a rich second generation? As far as I know, there are many branches of 99 yellow stewed chicken in our city, right?"
Plump woman: "Is it the 99 yellow braised chicken that was advertised on "The Voice of China......"? I heard that 99 Yellow Braised Chicken is a national chain, and the boss is so young?"
Tang Xin, who was ordering food on the menu, paused with the pen in his hand and nodded slightly, "Yes, it's the 99 yellow stewed chicken, but he is not a rich second generation, I heard that his family is rural, and his family background is very ordinary." ”
"Phoenix man?" the slender woman blurted out a new term.
The plump woman frowned and retorted: "This is not a phoenix man, right? The phoenix man should be the kind of person who comes from a very humble background, and then passes the university entrance examination, walks out of the countryside, and has a good job and a good income after graduation, but has a very heavy family burden......, right? Should...... It's supposed to be called nouveau riche, right?"
Tang Xin looked up a little stunned, and the slender woman was speechless for a while.
After a few seconds of silence, the slender woman smiled, "It seems to be true!"
Tang Xin shook his head, "The nouveau riche generally refers to the kind of rich man who doesn't know a few big characters and has no cultural background, but suddenly makes a fortune quickly, right? Do you know how he got started?"
Plump woman: "How did you get started?"
The slender woman also looked curious.
Tang Xin looked at them, lowered his head and continued to order, and replied lightly: "He made money by writing, and then opened a store to do business, although his education is not as high as ours, he is only a junior college, but ...... His writing is definitely much better than ours, and the books we have read...... Not necessarily as much as him. ”
"A literate nouveau riche?" said the plump woman.
Tang Xin: "......"
Slender Woman: "......"
......
Not far away, Sun Quan, who was eating hot pot alone, didn't hear Tang Xin and the others talking about him, so it is estimated that even if he heard it, he didn't care.
He didn't care what others said about him behind his back, he didn't live for others to see.
He ate for about half an hour, ate and drank to his heart's content, and when he got up to leave, he saw Tang Xin and them not far away, hesitated slightly, he walked over to say goodbye to them, and then went to the bar to check out, and helped them bury the bill by the way.
The three women ate more economically, and the three of them only ordered 87 yuan of things, which was not as much as he ordered alone, such a little money, for him, was just a drizzle, for the sake of his previous friendship, he buried their orders easily.
After all, although he didn't get along with Tang Tang very happily before, Tang Xin has always been okay with him.
Driving on the way home, after the car drove out of the city, it was a relatively empty suburban road, the night had already fallen, the beam of the headlights broke through the night, Sun Quan's speed was not fast, and the whole person's posture was relaxed.
Thinking of the Tang Xin he met tonight, it may be the rich imagination exercised by writing, and many strange questions flashed through his mind.
For example: If he hadn't met Yuan Shuiqing at the beginning, would he and Tang Xin have come together later?
He knew that Tang Xin liked him a little, and he knew it back then.
So at this time, the thoughts in his head were like building a structure, if Yuan Shuiqing didn't appear, what would happen to his life?
Then he thought of a lot of possibilities.
For example, he met another girl one day, a girl who amazed him, because he earned a lot of money for the manuscript of "My Decathlon", and captured the girl's heart, or just the body, and then they may always be together, and then enter the palace of marriage, or ...... One day, he was overwhelmed by her beautiful appearance and bad personality, and then kicked her, and then went to find the next girlfriend who could be better or worse......
Then, in a chance encounter like tonight, I met Tang Xin, who has graduated from college and has matured, maybe there will be some romantic story happening in a dimly lit place tonight.
Another example: If Yuan Shuiqing hadn't appeared back then, although his reason told him that Tang Xin's three views had not yet been finalized and was not suitable for dating, but he drank with her one day, because of the strength of the wine, his reason was lost, looking at her youthful and beautiful face and figure, because he was hungry for her body, and slept together, and finally they were together......
All kinds of chaotic thoughts flashed uncontrollably in his mind, making the corners of his mouth unconsciously bring a self-deprecating smile.
He knew very well in his heart that if the things that flashed in his mind just now really became a reality, maybe his life would become very exciting, all kinds of beauties, he might have slept a lot, but his heart would definitely not be as stable and steady as it is now.
Being able to sleep with all kinds of beauties is certainly a very cool life, but he already knows what that means.
Before he was reborn, in writing, although he frequently hit the streets, which was not a success, he did sleep a lot with the fat and thin beauty.
But on those days, he didn't feel happy.
How many nights, when he examined his heart, he always saw a heart full of wounds, that heart had no home, like a lonely ghost, wandering in the world.
What is the saddest part?
It was a few later relationships, and from the beginning of the relationship, he had a premonition of breaking up again, and at that time he knew very well that he couldn't give the kind of life that most women who wanted to get married wanted.
Buying a house...... He couldn't afford it.
Renovation, marriage, car change...... He didn't have enough money.
And the previous failed love has long made him understand...... A woman who wants to get married, unless she is the kind of woman whose own conditions are not very good and has no other better choice, will be very realistic, the house is the most basic, a house, plus decoration, plus bride price, plus wedding needs......
As soon as he settled the accounts, he knew that he couldn't handle his pitiful savings.
And now this kind of life has long exceeded his vision back then, maybe in his career, he still has ideas and ambitions.
But emotionally, he and Yuan Shuiqing have been married for a short time, and their daughters are almost two years old, but he still loves her very much, and when he thinks of her, he feels happy and satisfied in his heart, and then he thinks of his daughter...... And his heart was full.
When the two children in Yuan Shuiqing's belly were born, his heart was about to burst, where was there room for other women to exist?
