Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gathering

After the gentle knock on the door, it was Bao'er's childish voice: "Uncle, it's time for lunch." ”

Tang Yi looked at the wall clock on the wall and was stunned to find that the hour hand had pointed to twelve o'clock.

Looking at Qi Jie who was dreaming sweetly in her arms, Tang Yi didn't call her, gently pulled her hand away, Qi Jie opened her eyes dimly, hugged him tightly again, and said vaguely: "Lie down for a while." ”

Tang Yi chuckled and pinched her nose: "It's time to eat, Bao'er is here to shout!" ”

Tang Yi opened the door, and Bao'er's eyes widened: "Sister fairy? Qi Jie wore a black dress, delicate high heels, outstanding and graceful.

Qi Jie smiled and beckoned to Bao'er, Bao'er immediately ran over, Qi Jie squatted down and picked her up, and kissed her with a smile: "Bao'er, do you miss me?" Boa nodded vigorously.

Tang Yi arrived at the dining room and said that he wanted to eat with Bao'er in the bedroom, dialed some food, took two bowls of rice back to the room, and sat in front of the bedside table with Bao'er Qijie, but also ate happily.

Qi Jie slipped away at three o'clock in the afternoon when Sister Lan and Aunt Li went to buy vegetables together, before leaving, Qi Jie hooked Tang Yi's neck with her arms, her high heels were slightly cocked, her purple lips came to Tang Yi's ear, and she said in a greasy voice: "Husband, when will I meet Chen Ke's little sister?" ”

Being swept to his ears by Qi Jie's fragrant and wet breath, the bewitching delicate body was clinging to him, Tang Yi's heart was itchy, and he suddenly remembered the wonderful picture of Jiaozhou, a hot current rose in his lower abdomen, Qi Jie was close to him, he could naturally feel his reaction, giggled, and bit Tang Yi's ear: "What do you want to do?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and kissed her purple lips.

But fantasy is fantasy, Tang Yi didn't dare to let the two meet, not to mention what Chen Ke's reaction would be, just say Qi Jie, who knows if it will break the vinegar jar again when the time comes? Set your backyard on fire.

…… At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ke drove a white Jetta to pick up Tang Yi, today Chen Ke wore a white suit and black high heels, covering up a little childishness, two more points of maturity, more beautiful and dignified, and a lot of urban white-collar beauty.

Looking at the black casual clothes on his body, Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "Do you want me to go up and change my clothes, it's too incompatible with you, it seems that you are my sister." ”

Chen Ke grinned: "It's good, you just say eighteen, they will envy me to death!" ”

Tang Yi was speechless, now girls like little boyfriends when they chat?

The venue of Chen Ke's class reunion was set at the Spring City Hotel, and while driving, Chen Ke talked to Tang Yi about the original story, it turned out that Xiao Man and another male classmate named Sun Hao, who worked in a Shanghai law firm, followed the barrister of the law firm to Spring City to talk about a business, and they stopped by to see Chen Ke. Sun Hao is an alumnus of Chen Ke and Xiaoman, an undergraduate student of politics and law, and also participated in the lawsuit in Jiaozhou, after the lawsuit. and Chen Ke Xiaoman became friends, and now they work in the same law firm as Xiaoman.

Chen Ke glanced at Tang Yi as he spoke, and said cautiously: "Brother, they also notified Hu Jiansheng." ”

Tang Yi smiled, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Just notify me, I miss him too." ”

Chen Ke vomited, pulled Tang Yi's hand away, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't keep treating me as a child!" I get angry when you touch my head! ”

Tang Yi stretched out his hand, gently twisted her beautiful earlobe, and chuckled: "Is this treating you as an adult?" ”

was suddenly teased by Tang Yi, Chen Ke's ears turned red, he broke away from Tang Yi's hand, and didn't dare to speak again, for fear that Tang Yi would take the opportunity of his own driving to belittle him.

Chen Ke set a table in the lobby on the first floor, after all, everyone has just graduated, there is no need to be too luxurious, Chen Ke has no habit of booking a high-end suite, even if she wants to come to the Spring City Hotel, she has been thinking about it for a long time, classmates are gathering in Spring City, of course, she wants to treat her, just graduated, her salary is not high, eat in Spring City, if you want some high-end dishes, I am afraid that her two months' salary is not enough.

Although Tang Yi is used to using money as a number, he will not be bored enough to suggest that Chen Ke go to the box, follow Chen Ke, and come to the third table, Chen Ke is half an hour early, Xiao Man and Sun Hao have not yet arrived.

Drinking the jasmine tea sent by the waiter, Tang Yi looked at the almost full lobby, but he really couldn't figure out the reason why the Spring City Hotel would lose money, whether it changed hands or not, but it couldn't be taken by the Li family.

Chen Ke suddenly showed joy on his face, stood up and waved, Tang Yi turned around, and saw several young men and women walking in at the door of the lobby, dressed very fashionably, walking in front of Xiaoman, and Tang Yi had a relationship in Jiaozhou.

When Xiao Man saw Chen Ke, he ran up screaming, and the two hugged each other and laughed and jumped, causing the guests next to him to look sideways.

A man and a woman behind Xiao Man frowned, Tang Yi looked at them a few times, the man looked average, it should be Sun Hao, the girl was quite beautiful, but her body was a little fat.

I have been intimate with Xiaoman for a long time. Chen Ke let go of her, and Sun Hao came up, greeted Chen Ke politely, and introduced his girlfriend Zhou Yiqing to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke smiled: "My girlfriend is very beautiful!" "Introduce Tang Yi to a few people.

Xiao Manjiao smiled and asked Tang Yi: "Have you turned positive?" ”

Tang Yi nodded, and didn't want to say more.

Xiao Man looked around and said in surprise: "Hu Jiansheng hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Chen Ke said: "Didn't you make an appointment with him? I didn't even know he had found a job in the provincial capital. Half of this was for Tang Yi, which made Tang Yi laugh for a while, a little girl is a little girl, even if Chen Ke is now more and more capable at work, but in terms of emotional intelligence, she is still just a little girl who is just starting to fall in love.

A few people drank tea and chatted, Tang Yi didn't like to talk much, just listened to them. Sun Hao is the most talkative, and gradually dominates the right to speak at the table, and the content of the conversation gradually unfolds around him.

During the chat, they chatted with each other about their work and life, and when Sun Hao and Xiaoman were working in Sun Hao's girlfriend's father's law firm, Chen Ke looked at Zhou Yiqing in surprise: "It turns out that you are the daughter of lawyer Zhou Anzhou!" Zhou Yi nodded reservedly.

Chen Ke turned back to Tang Yi excitedly and said, "Brother, Lawyer Zhou is my idol, I used to target him and wanted to be a successful lawyer like him." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, and it could be seen that Chen Ke was eager to be a lawyer deep in his heart, because he gave up his ideals.

Sun Hao asked Chen Ke with some curiosity; "Speaking of which, I wonder why you would give up the opportunity to become a lawyer?"

Chen Ke smiled and picked up the teacup: "It's good to be a prosecutor, I like my current job very much." ”

Xiao Man's interface channel; "That's it, I want to enter the procuratorate, but I just can't get in, so I have to mess around in a law firm."

Sun Hao smiled and said, "That's right." He turned to Chen Ke again: "Work hard, I can wait to see you succeed." ”

Over there, Zhou Yiqing's face changed, and he said: "The prosecutor is good, but he eats dead wages, in this era, everything is about money, although I don't agree with the values of today's society, but I also have to admit that in today's society, the amount of money is to a certain extent the standard for measuring a person's status." ”

Sun Hao also sighed and nodded: "This is indeed the truth!" As he spoke, he asked Chen Ke: "How much is your salary now?" ”

Chen Ke said: "More than three hundred. ”

Sun Hao sighed, picked up the teacup and drank tea, Zhou Yiqing frowned; "Is that enough for flowers? Sun Hao opened nearly 2,000 yuan a month, and he always complained that his income was too small. ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, vaguely guessing the subtlety of the relationship between a few people.

Xiao Man didn't like to listen to it, and said: "It's not like this, Chen Ke just graduated, how much money can he get, and his salary has increased a little bit, besides, I don't know how much people don't know how much to pay various welfare allowances, can we compare with retail investors?" Not to mention the fact that people are also allocated housing. ”

Zhou Yiqing seemed to want to speak, but Sun Hao looked at his watch and said, "Let's not wait, let's serve!" Good no good? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Chen Ke called the waiter to come over and order, Xiao Man saw that the price of the special dish "Spring City Stew" on the first page of the menu was sixty-eight, and he said: "Chen Ke, when I went home with you, I ate your Northeast stew, didn't you just stew pork with some beans and potatoes?" That's too expensive, right? ”

Chen Ke hadn't eaten the messy stew here, and said suspiciously: "Maybe it's different, let's have a taste?" ”

Sun Hao made a gesture to stop: "Don't, let's eat simply, and you will slaughter tomorrow when it is my turn to entertain." He said to Chen Ke again: "Chen Ke, I don't mean anything else, we are alumni, don't be broad, I just wanted to talk about you, what kind of pomp and circumstance do you talk about at the class reunion, just find a small restaurant, you don't know your salary, save some flowers." ”

Xiao Man frowned, and said that his boyfriend is by his side, what are you talking about?

Tang Yi now has a spectrum in his heart, Sun Hao must have chased Chen Ke before, and now in front of Chen Ke, he must be in a very complicated mood, not only wanting to show his ability, but also faintly showing the idea of making Chen Ke regret, but in his heart, he is afraid that he has not forgotten Chen Ke, so he intentionally or unintentionally reveals his concern for Chen Ke.

But even with this kind of concern, Sun Hao still inevitably showed his magnanimity, which made Tang Yi shake his head slightly.

Chen Ke was a little angry, originally heard Xiaoman say that Sun Hao had a girlfriend, and he didn't mention Sun Hao chasing her with Tang Yi, who knows that this Sun Hao still showed it intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Ke was so angry, he secretly glanced at Tang Yi, he was afraid that Tang Yi would think too much, thinking that she liked to attract bees and butterflies, there was a Hu Jiansheng before, and now there is another Sun Hao.

Zhou Yiqing's face was a little unsightly, coughed, and said to Sun Hao: "People can order whatever they like, and it's not you who are treated, why do you talk so much?" ”

Sun Hao looked afraid of Zhou Yiqing, so he stopped talking. Zhou Yiqing said to Chen Ke without smiling: "Order, order, you value us Sun Hao, I am very happy." ”

By what she said, it seemed that Chen Ke ordered expensive dishes to make Sun Hao happy, Xiao Man glared at Zhou Yiqing, but after all, it was her boss's daughter, and she couldn't say anything, so she looked at Tang Yi, afraid that the conversation between these people would hurt Tang Yi's self-esteem.

Tang Yi still drank tea quietly, since the beginning of the introduction, because he doesn't like to talk, but seems to be regarded as a transparent person.

Chen Ke frowned and said, "Whatever, Xiaoman, you order." He handed the menu to Xiao Man, didn't want to quarrel with Sun Hao and his girlfriend, and picked up the teacup to drink by himself.

In Zhou Yiqing's opinion, Chen Ke and her boyfriend were undoubtedly suppressed by themselves, and they were proud for a while, and glared at Sun Hao, and said in their hearts, Look at how I will clean you up when I go back.

Xiao Man took the menu but didn't know how to order, she was still a little afraid of Zhou Yiqing, she took the menu and flipped it, hesitated, and the waiter next to her was anxious; "How many guests, if I need to think about it, can I go and greet the other guests first?"

As soon as Zhou Yiqing stretched out his hand, he pulled the menu from Xiao Man's hand and said, "I'll order it." He smiled at Chen Ke and said, "You don't mind, do you?" ”

Chen Ke nodded, and Zhou Yiqing began to order, but she picked the expensive ones and ordered six dishes, all of which cost more than fifty yuan, one of which was "Buddha jumping over the wall" for one hundred and sixty-eight.

Sun Hao frowned, but he didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Man stopped the waiter who remembered the food and said to Zhou Yiqing: "This, let's not eat it." ”

Zhou Yiqing said to the waiter: "Write it down, if no one pays, I'll buy it!" The waiter agreed, and happily went to the bar to hand in the order.

The atmosphere was a little weird, Chen Ke frowned, and secretly hooked his little finger to Tang Yi's finger, Tang Yi turned around and smiled at her, Chen Ke felt at ease.

Tang Yi leaned sideways into Chen Ke's ear and said, "Let's ask that fat girl to pay for it in a while, how about it?" ”

Chen Ke chuckled: "You're bad!" Stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Yi away.

Tang Yi turned around and smiled; "Miss Zhou, we are poor and don't have much money on us, so you will pay the bill later."

Seeing that Chen Ke and Tang Yi were still giggling and muttering, they even said what they asked themselves to pay the bill. Zhou Yi snorted disdainfully, it turned out to be two boneless wastes, and they didn't have a trace of anger when they were bullied like this, and they licked their faces and asked themselves to pay.

One dish after another came up, the dishes were delicious, but everyone tasted a little unpleasant, Tang Yi hastily sandwiched two mouthfuls of dishes, and then glanced at Chen Ke, meaning let's leave.

Chen Ke nodded knowingly, and was about to speak, when he heard someone next to him calling: "Chen Zhen? Ah, it's really Chen Jian. ”

A few people turned around, but saw a middle-aged man in a green police uniform whispering a few words to his friends, and walked over to this side, Chen Ke hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Team Liu, you are also coming to eat!" He turned back to Tang Yi and said, "It's the captain of the criminal investigation squadron of the Municipal Bureau." ”

Team Liu smiled and said to Chen Ke; "Look, I said thank you for inviting you to dinner, if you just don't give face, then you can't push this meal anymore today, this meal is mine."

Chen Ke hurriedly said no, Team Liu laughed and said: "Chen Zhen, I don't like my mother-in-law and mother, you help me so much, I don't thank you, but I don't want to go?" To be honest, after so many years, I haven't admired any prosecutor so much, you are the first! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the waiter, "Come, how much is this table, I'll settle the bill." When he looked back and saw the dishes on the table, he was stunned and said with a smile: "It's all good dishes!" He said to the waiter: "In this way, you can invoice me for the meeting venue fee." ”

The waiter belched, and then slapped the bar to issue an invoice, and Team Liu smiled at Chen Ke and a few people: "You eat yours, Chen Jian, I won't bother you!" He turned around and left.

Chen Ke shrugged helplessly at Tang Yi, Tang Yi smiled and shook his head, little girl, now she has a network.

Zhou Yiqing was stunned, she wanted to give Chen Ke a few colors, but she was disturbed by senseless people, and she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart.

Xiao Man said enviously: "It's better to be the procuratorate, we don't have to pay for food, no matter how much we earn, there is no time!" ”

Zhou Yiqing snorted coldly, and Sun Hao lowered his head to drink tea.

Tang Yi was not in a hurry to leave, how could this be regarded as Chen Ke's treat, how could there be a waste, so he smiled and said: "Eat, let's eat ours." "Eat it with relish.

didn't take two bites, and someone next to him asked in a low voice: "Yes, is it Director Tang?" ”

Tang Yi turned his head, but saw a thin monkey-like man holding a beautiful bejeweled lady passing by his table, and saw that he had stopped. The thin monkey is Hou Fugui, and Tang Yi's first case is to help him "rescue the disaster" and ask for preferential policies.

"Ha, it's really Director Tang, I thought I was wrong!"

Hou Fugui came over in surprise and shook hands with Tang Yi, laughed with him, exchanged a few words with Tang Yi, glanced at the dining table, and said, "You are busy, I won't disturb your meal!" ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, Hou Fugui nodded and said goodbye to Tang Yi, and when he left, Chen Ke asked, "Brother, who is he?" ”

Tang Yi said: "Hou Fugui of the third construction company. ”

Chen Ke sighed: "He is Hou Fugui, I have heard of it, and I heard that he can be ranked first among the rich people in Spring City." Why do you look so weird? ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Who said that a rich person must be fat?" ”

The two of them spoke casually, but Zhou Yiqing muttered disdainfully: "Brag, who are you?" The big boss with money will rush to slap you up? ”

Before the words fell, the waiter came over with a bottle of red wine, put the red wine on the table, and said with a smile: "83-year-old Latour, please taste it slowly." ”

Chen Keqi said: "We didn't ask for red wine!" Tang Yi frowned.

The smile on the waiter's face was even more humble: "This is Boss Hou's own wine, and he also added two dishes for the guests." There are also ......" put the four hundred-yuan bills on the wine plate on the table, and then said: "Boss Hou must pay for a few people, this is the money that a few guests began to pay, and now I will return it to you." ”

Tang Yi frowned and motioned for Chen Ke to put away the money, but the money for this meal was bound to be returned to Hou Fugui.

I don't know how many times the service ecology is more respectful than at the beginning, and I retreat with a smile.

Zhou Yiqing was speechless, she looked at the bottle of red wine blankly, she knew the goods, so she was shocked, even her father seemed to be reluctant to drink such expensive red wine.

Xiao Man was speechless for a while, looked at Tang Yi and Chen Ke, and said in his heart, how can this pair play flowers? At Chen Kenunu's mouth, Chen Ke grinned, but did not speak.

Tang Yi picked up the red wine and said with a smile: "This wine is good, try it." ”

Everyone poured a glass of red wine, but they were silent with their glasses.

Zhou Yiqing couldn't taste the taste of wine at all, and was thinking about how to save face, when suddenly she had an idea, and just wanted to speak, when she suddenly heard someone next to her laughing: "Ha, what a coincidence!" Zhou Yiqing looked back, but was taken aback, knowing his father's employer this time, the son of Deputy Secretary Tian of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Yiqing didn't expect him to greet him, and in his impression, he and Sun Hao seemed to be small roles in his eyes, and he didn't care about it at all.

Zhou Yiqing hurriedly pulled Sun Hao, stood up with a smile and just wanted to speak, but saw the noble son holding Tang Yi's hand with a smile on his face, "Director Tang, what a coincidence, you will also come to this small place to eat?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and shook hands with Tian Weibing, and said, "Have a casual meal with a few friends." ”

Tian Weibing shook Tang Yi's arm unusually affectionately, and when he raised his eyes, he was stunned when he saw Zhou Yiqing and Sun Hao, and said strangely: "Do you know Director Tang?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "I'm not familiar, I just met today, and it's a friend of my friend." ”

Tian Weibing was relieved and said with a smile: "Ah, they are all from Lao Zhou's lawyer's office, Lao Zhou has helped me do something recently, since I know you, then I will ask Lao Zhou to take care of them." The words were quite disrespectful to Lawyer Zhou, which made Zhou Yiqing look gloomy, but it is no wonder that no matter how famous Lawyer Zhou is, in the eyes of Tian Weibing, it is really nothing.

Tian Weibing also didn't know the relationship between Zhou Yiqing and Zhou An, he had only been in contact with Zhou An, and he had seen Sun Hao and Zhou Yiqing, but as for Xiao Man, he had never seen it.

Tian Weibing glanced at Chen Ke and Xiao Man, and saw that Tang Yi didn't help him introduce him or ask more, so he said, "Director Tang, I still have some trouble, don't bother you, this meal is mine!" ”

Tang Yi shook his head funny, Chen Ke and Xiao Man looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Yiqing and Sun Hao smiled bitterly.

Tian Weibing said curiously: "What's the matter? What's the problem? Tang Yi said: "This meal has been settled a few times, so forget it." ”

Tian Weibing was very happy, so he smiled: "Nacheng, I will invite you another day, and you must appreciate your face when the time comes!" He nodded to the others and turned away.

Zhou Yiqing and Sun Hao looked at Tang Yi with a calm face, and they were at a loss in their hearts, who is this guy? That's an exaggeration, right?

glanced at a few people from Shanghai, but Tang Yi was thinking about it, Tian Weibing invited a lawyer in Shanghai, I don't know what he was doing, he and Li Tianhua got close, and recently coincided with the Henry case, which involved Fulou, it seems that he has to find a way to set up some news.

Tang Yi didn't mean to embarrass with Tian Weibing for the time being, Liu Fei and his grievances naturally had to be resolved by Liu Fei himself, he might secretly help Liu Fei, but he wouldn't really treat Tian Weibing as his opponent, strictly speaking, Tian Weibing should actually be regarded as his allies, but personnel is so complicated, who can tell the enemy and friends?
