Chapter 115: A Chance Encounter
I packed up my feelings and went downstairs to meet Zhao Li, who handed me the car keys and said, "It's already full of gas, you can take it and drive it." ”
I took the car keys from Zhao Li and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome, I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”
"You have to tell me what to eat first, don't say that you invited me to dinner like before, but you bought two lamb skewers on the street and sent me away!"
I patted Zhao Li on the shoulder and smiled: "If you want to think that there are two skewers, I will buy you four skewers next time." ”
"What a pit!"
"Just kidding, I've been very busy helping my friends take care of the bar lately, so when the bar reopens, please come and sit down."
"That's pretty much it! …… It's not early, I have to go back to cooking, so I'll go first. ”
Before leaving, I asked him again, "Are you married to Pan Xiaoyun?" ”
"It's over, it was done last month."
"Zhao Li, you can really marry Pan Xiaoyun quietly, and you won't notify me to attend the wedding!"
"I was going to invite you, but Fang Yuan said no, he said that you were afraid to go back to Suzhou."
Zhao Li's words reminded me of myself a month ago, when I was immersed in love with Li Xiaoyun, and I was full of rejection of Suzhou's unbearable past, but if Zhao Li invited me, I would still overcome the rejection and come to the wedding, after all, this is the first time Zhao Li got married in his life, and the meaning is heavy!
……
After Zhao Li left, I drove to the bar in the Alto Little Prince that he had left behind, and the bar was already open at this time, but except for the staff, it was still deserted, and this desertion made me realize how much work to go in the process of renovating the bar.
I sat down in a more remote corner, pulled my computer out of my handbag, and prepared to write a temporary closure announcement that I planned to upgrade the bar in three days.
Since it was Saturday, there were a steady stream of people coming to the bar, and after a while CC and Robben arrived, I finally had to go out for a bite to eat.
Walking down the street with all the street lights on, I was a little at a loss, feeling that I had been excluded from this huge city for nothing, and I had never felt so inferior as I did now.
I asked for a fried mein and a bowl of porridge at a roadside food stall, which was considered dinner, and I ate tastelessly, and the luxury cars that drove by the street from time to time "creaked" the snow that had not yet melted, grinding against my heart like noise, and I couldn't help but wonder in pain, why does the world have to artificially divide people into three, six, nine and so on?
Isn't all human being a body, a soul? Who dares to be nobler than whom? Who should be nobler than whom?
……
After eating this simple dinner, I returned to the bar, only to find that Jian Wei's red CTS was parked at the door of the bar, I entered the bar in surprise, and sure enough, I found Jian Wei and Yan Yan sitting in a corner, and the two of them did not chat but drank something, listening to the CC on the stage singing.
Yan Yan found me first, waved at me and said, "Zhaoyang, come and sit here." ”
I nodded and came to the two of them, subconsciously wanting to sit next to Jian Wei, stunned for a moment and then sat down next to Yan Yan, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Yan Yan said: "I asked Jian Wei to accompany you to see you and care about your career and life. ”
"Thank you, thank you for caring so much about me."
Yan Yan glared at me and said, "Zhaoyang, speak well, don't disobey the yang." ”
Janeway also echoed in an unhappy tone, "What, are you not welcome me to your bar?" ”
"Welcome, it's a customer...... I consciously positioned Janeway's identity as a customer.
Janeway nodded, as if she agreed with me as her customer, and took a sip of the drink in front of her.
Yan Yan seemed to say to Jian Wei and me very deliberately: "You guys talk first, I'll go to the bathroom." With that, he left his seat.
Janeway and I sat across from each other, racking my brains to avoid embarrassment, but there was no one between us for our amusement, so we repeated the silence in uneasiness.
Finally, Janeway spoke first, and she looked around the bar and asked, "Have you paid off your friend's debts?" ”
"Well, it's gone, thank you." I'm very kind to say it.
Jian Wei ignored my thanks and asked, "Who lent you the other 500,000?" ”
"It's a friend, too." I replied perfunctorily.
"Which friend?"
I replied dissatisfiedly: "A friend is a friend, do you have to name and sue you?" ”
In the face of my dissatisfaction, Jian Wei did not change in her feelings, she still kept calm and said, "It's your ex-girlfriend." ”
Suddenly hearing the word ex-girlfriend, I subconsciously thought that Jian Wei would say herself again, looked at her and thought that her logic was confused, and only realized for a moment that she was talking about Mi Cai, until now, she only broke up with Mi Cai when I left Suzhou, but I didn't know that Mi Cai and I never started.
Since Jian Wei had already guessed, I didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, the remaining 500,000 is handled by her." ”
After Janeway got the answer, she stopped talking, and then listened to the CC on the stage singing with some attention.
At this time, Yan Yan also came back, she sat down next to me again, looked at me, and then looked at Jian Wei, and said, "You two just sat stupidly all the time and didn't speak?" ”
"That's it, you didn't hear me." I answered.
"Oh...... It's a bit boring! Zhaoyang, why don't you go up and sing a song, I haven't heard you sing for a long time. Yan Yan pushed me and said.
"I don't want to sing today."
Janeway said lukewarmly to me, "Playing a big name?" ”
Yan Yan echoed again: "Zhaoyang, women do not want to do anything for a few days a month, but do men also have it?" It's so fresh! ”
I didn't have the heart to joke with Yan Yan, I played silence is golden, and I didn't mention the matter of singing.
Jian Wei glanced at me and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't sing, I'll sing." As he spoke, he got up and walked to the stage.
After she spoke a few words to CC, CC handed her the microphone and went to help her adjust the singing equipment.
And I finally lit a cigarette for myself after Janeway left, because she didn't like me smoking in front of her now.
Jian Wei asked for a Faye Wong version of "A Thousand Words", and as soon as she opened her mouth, there was applause from the audience, and I even heard someone say: This bar is really awesome, and the beauties are piled up here to sing. It also means that you will come more often in the future.
I'm very helpless about this, whether it's Jian Wei or Mi Cai, they are all here to play tickets, if they are really the resident singers of this bar, I don't have to have too much headache to package the bar, because the beauty effect is the easiest to spread, and it is also the easiest to form a sensation.
Before Janeway finished singing one of her songs, there was a commotion in the crowd again, and I immediately looked towards the entrance of the bar and saw that it was Mi Cai.
At noon, she said to me: I don't want to see the mood, it seems that she is in a good mood today, or because of the weekend, in short, she came, so she also had a chance encounter with Janeway who was singing!
