Chapter 12: An Awkward Banquet

October 27, 6 years, this day is a Saturday. The last time he left Gzhou, Li Mengze promised to invite everyone to a banquet for his boss, so in order to leave a good impression, he decided to pay out of his own pocket to invite the original "troika" of Wansheng Company to dinner. The banquet was invited in the name of him and Sima Xiaoyu, and the invitation was clearly written; But the guests found that only one was dealing with them, and the other didn't show up at all. According to someone's words, "Miss Sima has a problem at home, and she needs to go home to deal with it urgently, and she has returned to Beijing last night, and I am deeply sorry for the shortcomings." As everyone knows, he is a golden house treasurer, and Sima Xiaoyu also thinks, "Anyway, you can handle these problems alone, I go back, I don't want to be too ostentatious." Although this was planned a long time ago, there was still a little trick on the invitation, which made Jing Wen unaccustomed to it, and said "You, this group of people"!

Since it is a banquet, it can't be as simple as a few parties getting together together, it must be with their families. Chen Xiaochong brought his daughter Chen Haili, who is in her 20s and looks quite beautiful, but she doesn't look down on someone very much; Liu Fangsi brought his wife, a very charming mature woman in her 30s; Ye Mingwen brought his son, who was already in his 30s and of medium stature. This made someone a little stunned, why did they bring someone here? Mo is not going to rub mahjong, hehe, it can't be rubbed, there is one less person, there are not enough for two tables, he laughed secretly. He didn't know what the guests thought, but he knew very well the reactions of the few people he had never met.

Ye Mingwen's son was first surprised, and then complimented, "Mr. Hu is young and promising, and he has outstanding knowledge."

Liu Fangsi's wife looked at him with interest, and praised him with a "tsk", which made him a little confused, and he didn't know whether to praise him for being young and promising, or handsome and chic.

Chen Haili looked at him with disdain.

He also understands that among the men, he is a little out of time in terms of his dress, and everyone else is in a suit and leather shoes, but he is good, wearing a jacket, which is not his most expensive one; And today's hair is not very good, and it doesn't seem to be combed well, alone!

Li Mengze first covered up, what boss can't come, he is plenipotentiary, welcome everyone, everyone is happy to cooperate, they are all official words, everyone is tired of listening to them, but he said it smoothly. This was what Sima Xiaoyu helped him scrutinize last night and made him familiar with it, and let him say both sides in front of her, not a word is bad. Now he is out of breath, his face does not change, he finishes it in one breath, almost not a word is bad, and then looks at all the guests with a kind eye, so pure.

Li Mengze is relatively young and a man among the people present, generally speaking, men eat more than women of the same age; And generally speaking, in formal occasions, especially when there are ladies, everyone should eat more elegantly, but in this way, it will inevitably make the meal less frequent. But when it is used on someone, it is completely useless, as the host of the banquet, of course, he has to pay for the meal, he eats the most, and when he eats, he never gives in, although he eats his own. Sometimes, he has eaten nearly 1/3 of a dish, and others have not eaten it; He doesn't eat dishes that might stuff his teeth because he knows that his teeth are bad and that it is rude to pick his teeth in front of a lady. No matter how large a person's meal is, there are times when he is full, and of course not enough food is another matter. In short, when everyone was dealing with the leftovers and cold drinks, he had already put down his chopsticks and said "everyone use it slowly". This sentence was quite smart, and then one after another put down the chopsticks, which made him a little baffled. Because when he was at home, he ate relatively quickly, he had already finished eating, Jingwen and the others had only eaten half of it, and they usually didn't think there was anything wrong. Everyone was looking at each other, when the waiter happened to come over, "Sir, you can't serve dessert." ”

"Yes, yes." Li Mengze hurriedly nodded, dessert doesn't cost much, and besides, this is entertaining guests! Immediately, he was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone liked to eat desserts, even the old man Ye Mingwen ate a few pieces, and he was so tempted that he also wanted to eat a piece to taste, but thinking of the eating rules he had set, he finally endured it.

"Miss Chen, when I saw you, I remembered someone, I don't know if you know each other?" Li Mengze has nothing to say, after all, he can't be cold; Of course, this is after everyone has finished their dessert.

"Who?" Chen Haili had just finished eating dessert, and Wen Yan raised her head, as if she was not very friendly to him.

"With the same surname as you, Chen Haisheng, do you know?" Li Mengze said with a smile.

"Haisheng? Meng Ze knows Haisheng, and Haisheng is my nephew. Chen Xiaochong said in surprise, he didn't expect this partner to be his nephew's college classmate.

"Haisheng is Mr. Chen's nephew! Then I have to call you uncle, Haisheng and I are college classmates, no wonder I thought Haisheng was extraordinary and capable at the beginning, it turned out to be Uncle Tiger without a dog. Li Mengze appropriately expressed his surprise as if he had discovered it for the first time.

"Haisheng, this kid and Meng Ze are classmates, this is really unexpected, after all, China is so big!" Ye Mingwen interjected, obviously for the first time, and was a little surprised.

"yes, four years of college. You Haisheng have both ability and political integrity, you are chic, and you are the school's man of the hour, which makes us buddies very envious. Li Mengze was quite emotional, and couldn't help but say more. It's not that he compliments the other party, in school, Chen Haisheng is really outstanding, not comparable to those of them who have neither wealth nor talent.

"Mr. Hu also has both ability and political integrity in school, and he is chic." Mrs. Liu Fangsi said with a smile that after a round of conversation, everyone got a lot closer, and this is obviously a compliment. In fact, this is not an exaggeration, everyone here knows that there is a beautiful girl next to him.

"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment, Meng Ze is ashamed. I'm not afraid that everyone will laugh at me, last weekend, I went to the school to visit the class tutor, I was really embarrassed, I was embarrassed to tell everyone, Mr. Jiang didn't recognize me, I explained for a long time, and I almost couldn't enter the teacher's house. Li Mengze said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Hu is really good at laughing." Mrs. Liu Fangsi was a little embarrassed, she really didn't expect this situation.

"Madame don't mind. Besides, how I was at school, my classmates didn't say it, who would know, and it wasn't what I said it was. Like our family Yu'er, I think the same as Mrs. You. Li Mengze said with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, I don't know what to call you, let you be my elder, it doesn't seem to be much older than me, call you by your peers, and I feel that you and Ye Lao have suffered." Li Mengze turned to Ye Guowen, he felt a little cold about the father and son, especially Ye Guowen, after meeting, he never opened his mouth.

"Mr. Hu, my name is Guowen, and you will call my country in the future." The other party replied.

"Okay, you can call me Mengzede, it's more convenient for everyone to call me." Li Mengze readily agreed, in fact, among the others, he felt that he had more in common with the other party.

"Guowen, where are you in high school?"

"I also work in the company, in the general affairs department."

"Hehe, then we are colleagues, please take care of me in the future, I don't know anything." Li Mengze hurriedly said, it seems that Ye Mingwen's burden is not small, he is wondering, can Ye Guowen handle Chen Xiaochong and Liu Fangsi, what's the matter.

"Meng Ze is going to work in the company in the future?" Liu Fangsi, who had not spoken, said, and everyone also calmed down all of a sudden, and they all came to listen to his next words. There is a reason for this, although there is a statement that they sent people to the company in the cooperation matter, and some corresponding positions were arranged, but there was no designated person, let alone him.

"If I had a choice, I'd rather stay in my little attic and count the cars down the street. I also had to put a name in the company first, but just a name, I guess our boss won't let me stay in G all the time. The company only needs to notify you of something; Besides, I don't know how to do anything, and staying in the company is a waste, so I basically don't stay in the company. But what reward does the company have, red envelopes, but I can't miss it. Li Mengze said with a smile that he decided to temporarily take up the post of deputy general manager of Wansheng Company, which was arranged for him by Sima Xiaoyu.

……

The banquet was finally over, and Li Mengze finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was the first time he had dealt with so many people at the same time, it was really tiring. He decided that he would never hold such a banquet alone in the future, he must invite Su Qianyun or Zhang Xiaoqing to come, even if it is someone else, even Liu Yunlai is better than him alone, he is really not suitable for dealing with such a scene.

In the afternoon of the same day, he received an invitation to Chen Xiaochong's family dinner, inviting him to attend a private banquet at their family on Sunday night. Li Mengze knew that he was going to face his old classmate Chen Haisheng, and it was obvious that Chen Haisheng was going to appear as the host of the banquet, but what was the purpose of the banquet?

He rested all day, of course, on this day, he was not idle, he kept an eye on his own business, even on Saturdays, when everything was resting; He had already discussed with Du Hai and decided to introduce Li Lan into Wansheng Company, and this time he decided to take Li Lan to the banquet together. There are several young people in the Han Gang who are more suitable for working in the company, and he decided to take Li Lan ashore first, and the others will be slowed down, one is that he urgently needs his own people to work in the company and act as a pathfinder; The second is that Li Lan is not very "black" in the Han Gang now, and he can still bleach; The third is that if he doesn't bleach him quickly, it will be too late, and he is also familiar with Li Lan's situation; The most important thing is that he has a good impression of Li Lan. He already knew Li Lan's details, graduated from a junior college, used to work in a small company, and rarely appeared in the Han Gang. Of course, he is not the only young man of the Han Gang who is not inferior to Li Lan, and there are a few shrewd and capable young people with high academic qualifications, who are less involved in helping than Li Lan, and are likely to be the next batch of candidates to enter Wansheng Company.

Chen Xiaochong's family banquet is not the same as Li Mengze's banquet, according to someone's estimate, the cost is at least six figures, which shows that the plan is not small. When he saw Chen Haisheng, no matter how shrewd he was, he knew that this was to build momentum for his old classmates, and he might be one of those who was used.

"It's not a small show, it's not for us, is it, boss?" Li Lan was a little excited, it was the first time he had the opportunity to participate in such a wealthy banquet, and he also took out his best clothes for this, but Li Mengze didn't feel good enough, so he asked a sister-in-law in the gang to buy him a set, and now he is wearing it. This seems strange, like the one on the head is shabby, but it is ......, Li Lan and they had objections at the time, but they can't stand Li Mengze's words, who wants to offend the eldest lady?

"Yes, it costs more money than us, but if it's for us, you will know when you stay, just don't be disappointed." Li Mengze said lightly, he knew more than Li Lan and them, but he didn't break it.

"Ah, isn't this an old classmate, don't you go three days, you should be impressed!" Li Mengze saw Chen Haisheng from afar, the other party was still so chic, graceful, and an exaggerated tone surprised him, "Welcome, this thing?" ”

"Li Lan, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Chen's nephew, my old classmate, Chen Haisheng, a talented man from our university. Haisheng, you're the protagonist of the banquet tonight, right? Li Mengze introduced the two of them, and deliberately avoided Li Lan's identity, and there was naturally temptation in his words.

"It turned out to be Chen Gongzi, Meng Ze often praises you." Li Lan said that they had agreed between them, and they would call their names in front of outsiders, and he was also relatively familiar with Chen Haisheng, but they had never met.

There were a lot of guests at the banquet, and Chen Haisheng didn't have time to entertain them; Li Mengze didn't know most of the people, and in Gzhou, he only had dealings with a few high-level people in Wansheng Company, but these people couldn't be seen at the banquet. No one greeted them all, the two of them seemed to be forgotten people; After all, here they are nothing, no one knows about them, none of them know anyone, and the common host of the banquet does not show up. Chen Haisheng didn't care to greet his poor old classmate, because there were more important guests who wanted him to entertain, and just told him that there were people at the banquet that he didn't expect.

Li Mengze felt strange, who was coming, could it be her, his beautiful old classmate, it should be her, who else but her? He soon had the answer, it was her, how could he forget her, maybe he could forget all his college classmates, but how could he forget her. But he knew that the real surprise was someone else.

"Hey, how are you all! It's good to have met you, and it's all right! Li Mengze hurried up and looked at several of his old classmates with a smile, he just knew that Yang Hua was back, but he really didn't expect to see so many old classmates, at this moment, he forgot to estimate why they came.

Also surprised were the other four people, no one thought that they would meet another old classmate, and what surprised them even more was that they didn't get any news in advance, in the eyes of some people, Li Mengze was also invited by someone; No one expected to meet him, even though most people weren't very friendly with him.

"Mengze, why are you, it's so good, we can be together again in the future, aren't you in Tjin? …… When did you come, don't say a word......" For a while, everyone kept talking, and most people thought that he was introduced by the teacher, and they were all happy that he could get someone's attention. They are really happy, four years of studying with classmates, this is a love that cannot be erased; No matter whether his performance in school was outstanding or mediocre, no matter how weak their past feelings were, at least at this moment, everyone was overjoyed.

"How did you say you came, of course you came from Tjin, it was invited, can I still come uninvited, if I meet you earlier, I can still get a touch of the light of the sea. Come, let me introduce to you, Chen Yongbo, Li Tianhua, Yang Hua, Xie Jia, they are all my college classmates; This is Li Lan, Shan Fenglan, my friend. Li Mengze introduced everyone and vaguely told them that he was not what they imagined.

Everyone's words are inseparable from the days and nights of the school, and the precious time of the four years does not know how many topics to remember for the university students, the school, teachers, classmates, and the surrounding environment of the school, are all topics that they are happy to talk about. The four were noticeably a little more glossy than he was, and almost every one of them, as at school, said more than he did; They also knew more people than him, especially Yang Hua, who kept greeting the people around him. Gradually, everyone drifted apart!

"Mengze, how are you in Tjin, come to Gzhou? Haisheng wants to start a company, let's start a business together. Yang Hua didn't know how he came, but he knew that he was definitely not invited by Chen Haisheng. The classmate invited by Chen Haisheng was Chen Yongbo, and she knew this best. She didn't know Li Mengze's recent situation, but she knew that he had been running around a few years earlier and had never had a stable job. She also knew that the person in front of her would not be sealed in the dust forever, but why couldn't he have released his brilliance earlier! She knew he was a lonely man and wouldn't bow down to anyone, but why couldn't he be a little flexible!

"Thank you for your kindness, in the past two years, I have been used to running around, and I don't feel anything. If Haisheng had set up a company earlier, I might have come back, but now, I don't think it's better for me not to come. Li Mengze smiled and refused, he didn't want to embarrass the other party, but he also didn't want to tell the other party the truth, "In the past two years, how are you doing in Gzhou?" I've been that, and I haven't been in touch with you. He was a little apologetic, he knew that the other party had always cared about him, and even now, he still wanted to take care of him.

"It's okay! But it wasn't too smooth, and the competition was fierce no matter where it was. "Yang Hua thought that he was in a Japanese-funded company, and he felt good, so he didn't insist on persuading him." Okay, it's good to develop in a Japanese-funded company, you, don't jump around anymore, and save everyone from worrying about you. ”

"Actually, it's not as serious as you say. Do you know, Xu Peng and the others also came out and partnered with Zhaoyun to set up a company, and I heard that the scale is not small. Li Mengze felt embarrassed to deceive Yang Hua, after all, this matter couldn't be hidden for long, so he brought it up first, and vaguely told her that the reason why he didn't come was not as imagined, so as not to misunderstand in the future and it would be difficult to clean up.

"Oh, is it? No wonder. In the past, Haisheng invited them to come to Gzhou, but none of them would come, so it turned out to be the case. What company did they run and how long have they been running? Yang Hua asked with concern, girls' families, feelings are more prone to ups and downs, of course, it is also the reason for more concern.

"They're just getting started. Do you think, if it's been a long time, can you not tell your old classmates? They have only been open for less than a week, and the company's preparations are not necessarily perfect, so how can I be embarrassed to tell you. The name is called Xixing Company! Li Mengze said in his heart, of course you don't know, this is still my attention. Originally, according to Xu Peng's meaning, it was necessary to announce the world earlier, but he thought that the eight characters had not been skimmed yet; As a result, everyone decided to wait until it was ready to be announced, and this is how it has been kept secret until now.

It was at this time that the host of the banquet finally appeared. The general manager of Wansheng company is full of red face, yes, his heart is very comfortable, more than half a month, every day in anxiety, sad face, hair is gray I don't know how much, now it is solved all at once, the company has come back to life, and more importantly, the second generation of their family has also started a business, can he not be happy? Delighted, of course delighted! Everyone invariably looked at this banquet host, the man of the year in Gzhou City, the focus of the person!

"Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the despicable dinner, thank you all for your support, and I hope you can make yourself feel at home. I think everybody is guessing what I'm trying to say. Today, on the occasion of the dinner, I would like to introduce you to a respectful guest and make an announcement for you. This guest, I think everyone must be very interested, he is the special guest of today's banquet - Mr. Li Mengze. As soon as Chen Xiaochong's words fell, whispers immediately sounded in the banquet hall, many people knew who Li Mengze was, they had always been the most well-informed about things in the shopping mall, this person was the person everyone was talking about, and he was the most mysterious person today. But what does this man look like, and what is he capable of? Not only were they puzzled, but Li Mengze's classmates were even more puzzled, they felt that their former classmates had suddenly become mysterious, was this still the same classmate they had seen before, was this still the same college classmate in the past? Li Mengze's participation in Wansheng Company has not been made public, and the people who know it are still limited to one circle, that is, people in shopping malls, and they may not necessarily know, but in this venue, some people are already inquiring about the reason.

"Mengze, come, let everyone get to know each other." Li Mengze smiled bitterly, but he had to step into the trap designed by Chen Xiaochong for him, and finally fell into his hands and had to become a focal point, what else could he say, could he escape?

"Thank you, General Manager Chen, for your hospitality, I am deeply honored to be invited to this banquet, and I am deeply honored to be able to meet all of you. I think everyone is also guessing that another big event for the host of the banquet is to ask General Manager Chen to announce it for us. Li Mengze greeted everyone with a smile, but did not let go of Chen Xiaochong, urging him to announce the so-called other "big event".

When Chen Xiaochong announced that his nephew had entered the business world and started a business, the crowd immediately became a sensation, and whether it was known or heard for the first time, they all expressed their praise appropriately. The congratulations came one after another, and the enthusiasm of the scene made someone sigh. This is not the same as the situation that just introduced him, at this time, people seem to have forgotten about him as a special guest, and are vying to express their praise to Chen Xiaochong's uncle and nephew. However, his four classmates didn't let him go, they couldn't squeeze into Chen Haisheng's side, couldn't they stand by his side?

"Everyone, don't ask, I'll tell you if it's okay myself." Li Mengze took the wine brought by Li Tianhua and handed it to Li Lan beside him, he didn't want them to ask questions in a mess, so he had to explain it himself.

"Mr. Chen thought that I had helped them reorganize their company, and wanted me to pave the way for his nephew, so he pushed me out. Actually, the special guests should be the four of you! Li Mengze said, vaguely pointing out the restructuring of Wansheng Company.

"Hmph, it's still hidden from us! Lili told me just now, you have invested a lot of money in Wansheng Company. Xie Jia, you don't know yet, they are now the second largest shareholder of Wansheng Company, more than Uncle Chen's shares! Yang Hua's words were shocked, Chen Yongbo and they were all surprised, they didn't know how much money Wansheng Company had, they didn't know how much money the second largest shareholder needed to invest, and of course they wouldn't know how much money Chen Xiaochong's family had, but they knew how much money Chen Haisheng had to invest in running a company this time; Even that amount of money is not something that a few of them can easily earn in their lifetimes, so the three of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"Yes, yes, we are still the second largest shareholder of Wansheng Company, I also did you a favor, if it weren't for me, the money for Haisheng's company has not yet been settled, how can you thank me?" Li Mengze quipped, leaving them at a loss. This trick really worked, and several people obviously didn't want to admit his affection, and they didn't think he had that much ability, but they couldn't refute it - they no longer took the initiative, and they no longer knew this former classmate when they talked and laughed!

"Mengze, you're here, let me find it." Ye Guowen didn't find Li Mengze, but found that he was chatting with a few people, so he hurriedly came over to say hello, he was familiar with Yang Hua, but he didn't know who the other people were.

"Guowen, why don't you talk to them? Come, let me introduce you, these four are my college classmates, I won't say the name, they have been pulled away by Haisheng, you are a step late. This is Li Lan, and I just want to introduce you to him, he will be our permanent personnel in the company in the future. Li Lan, you keep an eye on him in the future, he is the future chairman of our company, Mr. Ye Guowen, you will send red envelopes or something in the future, notify me in time. Li Mengze introduced several people. He was about to introduce Li Lan to Wansheng Company, which was the main purpose of his party, and now that he met Ye Guowen, he introduced them. His last sentence caused a burst of laughter from everyone, diluting the original awkward atmosphere.

He didn't know the inside story of Wansheng Company, but Ye Guowen frequently showed favor to him, so he decided to take advantage of it. He also feels that it is more important to have a good relationship with Ye Guowen, after all, he is the direct heir of 38% of the equity, and he is more amiable, which is more suitable for his appetite.

Several people talked for a while before walking together to the center of the banquet. In fact, there are three centers of today's banquet, one is Li Mengze, one is Chen Haisheng, and the other is Chen Haili, the daughter of the banquet host. But Li Mengze obviously has no popularity, almost no one knows him, doesn't know him, and hasn't even heard of him, although some people are curious about him, but this person is sometimes cold, sometimes soft-talking, so people can't get close easily. He always makes people feel too cold, which even his old classmates feel, but fortunately they know him better, so they can still surround him, but the rest of the people can't do it. In this way, two centers are naturally formed, and the brother and sister attract different groups of people, which makes them excited, except for those who are naturally cold and lonely, saying that they do not want to be the focus of everyone. But they shouldn't ignore Ye Guowen, who is also very good, Li Mengze felt strange, it should be said that no matter where he is, Ye Guowen is the focus of everyone, maybe ...... Because of this exclamation, the Han Gang has another task - to investigate Ye Guowen, especially his character, which is a later story.

A few of them dispersed, Li Mengze felt that he should behave, he was in G State, he was in the mall! Picking up a glass of wine, he walked to Chen Haisheng in the crowd, Chen Haisheng at this time, was undoubtedly excited, his dream for several years had finally come true, and his uncle promised to sponsor himself a large sum of money to support him to start a company, and his good future was in front of him. He has been the focus of attention since he went to school, and he feels very happy from middle school to university, especially university; And in the future, he will also be the focus of people's attention, and he wants to believe that he will not only be the best among his classmates, but also in Gzhou, and even in the whole of China, he is a man of the hour.

"Haisheng, congratulations, you have finally set sail! I wish your company better and better! Li Mengze smiled and congratulated. This is his sincere words, after all, there are classmates, and there is no major contradiction, and he also hopes that every one of his classmates will have a successful career.

"Thank you, Mengzawa. Among my classmates, among my old classmates, what I admire the most now is you, even my uncle looks up to you, you are the number one among our classmates! Chen Haisheng suddenly calmed down, his instinctive rejection of Li Mengze, since his college days, he didn't like this indifferent classmate very much, and now he doesn't like it even more, he even feels that there is still a deep ridicule in the other party's smile. He sensed the other party's indifference, so he instinctively rebelled against the other party.

"Haha, that's Mr. Chen exalting me too much, how many catties and taels do I have, don't the old classmates know?" Of course, Li Mengze felt the sudden change in the other party, but he didn't care anymore, just like he didn't care at all at school.

Ye Guowen also came over at this time, the two of them knew each other very well, congratulated each other, and were also harmonious, but Li Mengze felt that Ye Guowen's intentions had become more and more obvious, and he even felt that the other party was deliberately approaching him, shook his head, and left. He still couldn't adapt to this complicated interpersonal relationship, so he had to put it aside; At this time, he hadn't yet greeted another person in the spotlight.

Chen Haili undoubtedly felt that she was the happiest person tonight. The already lively and cheerful eldest lady is even more incomparable, the young female companions, the boys who surround him with courtesy, and the well-intentioned people who deliberately come to inquire about the news, all send almost unanimous praise to the eldest lady. Chen Haili was originally relatively beautiful, coupled with exquisite clothes, she looked noble and beautiful, which Li Mengze knew firsthand, and the wife in full costume at home made his heart beat for a long time. He didn't know how he could have such an idea now, it didn't seem very appropriate.

"Miss Chen, you are really beautiful tonight, God really favors you too much." Li Mengze praised sensibly.

"How can the little beauty beside you be beautiful, why are you so ruthless to drive people away."

"Look at what you said, I don't dare to take such a charge. Besides, if someone is around to take care of me, would I still object? Li Mengze said with a smile. He felt that dealing with this girl was more difficult and difficult to deal with, he said to himself.

"Have you eaten enough tonight?" Li Mengze was about to leave, but the other party wouldn't let him go.

"Of course I'm full, I can eat anywhere." Li Mengze hurriedly said, not knowing what the other party meant.

"I thought I was going to prepare you for dessert?" Chen Haili smiled, with some cunning in her eyes.

"Didn't Miss Chen eat enough at noon yesterday?" Li Mengze felt that he had found something interesting.

"Mom never lets people eat desserts, but hello, prepare some desserts for us!" Chen Haili said angrily, her attitude was very direct and complaining.

"Haha, I see!" Li Mengze smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this, if I don't eat it, you can't eat it." I've always eaten faster, and few people can catch up with me. I still wondered why I didn't eat it, and you all stopped using your chopsticks, thinking that your meal was too small, but when it was time for dessert, I saw that you had eaten so much, and almost all of them were finished, and I thought you liked dessert more! Li Mengze's laughter attracted the attention of everyone around him, and also eased the tense relationship between him and Chen Haili.

"Mengze, if there is anything happy, let's hear it too." It's Ye Guowen again, and he's just following him like a fart.

"To be honest, Guowen, did you eat enough at noon yesterday?" With one hand on Ye Guowen's shoulder, he asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I haven't eaten enough, don't you ...... too" Ye Guowen was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two of them a little suddenly.

"I'm really sorry, I put down my chopsticks when I was full, I'm really sorry, I didn't eat well." Li Mengze said with a smile, "I thought you liked desserts, if Miss Chen hadn't mentioned it today, maybe next time I invited you to dinner, I would have only ordered desserts!" ”

"Mengze, what's going on?" Yang Hua came in, followed by three classmates, she had also heard about what happened to them yesterday at noon.

"That's right, we used to eat faster in school, after graduating from college, the job has been unstable, the first two years, I ran around like a rabbit, sometimes the time is more tight, so I eat faster, with people, but also eat their own, until they are full. Yesterday at noon, I invited them to dinner, but I didn't pay attention to etiquette, and still ate as before, but as soon as the chopsticks stopped, they stopped eating; I wondered how they could have such a small amount of food, especially in Bahasa Malaysia. Later, when dessert was served, they all picked it up and ate it, and I thought they liked dessert. Fortunately, Miss Chen told me, otherwise, you would have waited for dessert in the future! After Li Mengze finished speaking, several people couldn't help laughing.

"You used to be like a rabbit, you wouldn't be that miserable, would you?" Chen Haili was a little curious, and she also seemed a little concerned.

"Don't talk about that, they know that it's all self-inflicted, and they don't blame others." Li Mengze was reluctant to mention the past to others, his tone became a little cold, and he seemed to realize it, so he changed the topic, "I'll invite you again another day, it's compensation, how about it?" ”

"Okay, let's get together, when?" Li Tianhua was the first to support.

"The sooner the better! Once I've settled here, I'm going back to the north. My dad is still in the hospital, or 12 o'clock tonight. Li Mengze was very anxious and planned to party all night, but unfortunately no one approved of this idea.

"That's not good, I have to slaughter you well, everyone said yes." Li Tianhua said with a smile.

……

While talking and laughing, the banquet ended, Li Mengze and Li Lan also chatted while walking, and finally the two came to the same conclusion that Ye Guowen approached them with intentions, and decided that the Han Gang would start the investigation.
