Chapter 174: You Joked First
Zhao Lei picked up the phone and saw that it was Gu Cheng calling, so he picked it up.
Gu Cheng called to ask Zhao Lei to come out and order beer and eat lobster barbecue, but it just so happened that Zhao Lei hadn't eaten until now, hung up the phone and changed his clothes and went out.
I went out, called a taxi, and arrived at the place Gu Cheng said in less than 10 minutes, a lobster barbecue food stall.
got out of the car, and after sweeping his eyes, he saw Gu Cheng sitting in a corner, Zhao Lei couldn't understand why Gu Cheng always liked to choose to sit down in the corner, the last time the two of them drank, they came to Gu Cheng quickly and said hello to him and sat down.
"Brother Cheng! Now you can! If it's okay, come out with a whole small barbecue! Zhao Lei, who sat down, made a joke with Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng: "Haven't you seen you for a while!" Missed you. ”
Zhao Lei: "Hehe! Brother Cheng! You said you missed me, guess I believe it or not. ”
Gu Cheng: "Believe it or not!" This newly opened lobster shop, my colleague said it was good, please come and try it. ”
After speaking, Gu Cheng threw the menu over.
Zhao Lei took the menu, swept it and called the boss to come and order, since it was a lobster barbecue restaurant, there was nothing special, Zhao Lei ordered 6 catties of lobster, and came to some barbecue, 4 bottles of beer, and handed the menu to the boss. Zhao Lei, who ordered something delicious, chatted with Gu Cheng.
Sometimes these two people are also quite funny, neither of them can drink enough, and they are embarrassed to say that they use some wine on the phone, but every time they come out, they are two bottles of beer per person, and they all use beer to rinse their mouths, and these two people drink beer as liquor.
After chatting for a while, the lobster and barbecue were brought up by the boss, and Zhao Lei didn't eat at night before he feasted first.
The two of them first had a lobster barbecue with beer, and blew while eating.
Zhao Lei and Gu Cheng picked up the cup with oily hands and touched it, Zhao Lei squeaked and finished the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass, and Zhao Lei was full of wine and food.
Gu Cheng, who finished drinking, said to Zhao Lei: "Zhao Lei! I want to ask you something. ”
Zhao Lei was taken aback when he heard Gu Cheng say this, Zhao Lei thought that Gu Cheng shouted that he came out today to eat and drink, but he didn't expect that there was something to help himself.
Zhao Lei: "What did Brother Cheng say!" If there is anything, just say it, what else do we want to ask for, I will definitely help if I can help, and if I can't help, I can't help you even if you kneel. ”
Gu Cheng: "That's right! I talked about a girlfriend, her family is Jinling local, and a younger brother, I met her parents a few days ago, her parents mean that we are together to buy a house in Jinling, I think to rent a house also money, it is better to rent a house I use to pay off the mortgage, you know I am doing sales, last year I was lucky to get tens of thousands of yuan in salary commission, plus where did my relatives in my hometown borrow 100,000, my girlfriend took some at home, but it is still not enough, so I asked you to open a mouth. ”
Zhao Lei: "Yes, Brother Cheng!" You have done two of the three major things in life, and you will be a winner in life in just half a year! has a successful career, and has found a girlfriend, so he is short of a child. ”
Gu Cheng poured himself another glass of wine and poured it down, then wiped his mouth and said depressedly: "I'll tell you the truth!" If she hadn't had a child, would I be in such a hurry to borrow money to buy a house? I think that since I have a child, it is our father-son (daughter) fate, I will give birth to it, but her parents said that if you have a child, you must get married first, and if you get married, you must buy a house first. ”
Zhao Lei didn't know how to say this with 10,000 sentences in his heart.
You Gu Cheng can! I usually look honest, but I didn't expect to find a girlfriend after just entering the society for more than half a year, and I also made a child, you take the high-speed rail! Do this fast?
And in his previous life, Gu Cheng didn't have a child so early! It wasn't until 18 years that he got married, and Zhao Lei also participated in Gu Cheng's wedding, but the woman didn't seem to be local to Jinling! Could it be that because Gu Cheng didn't buy a house, he was divided?
Zhao Lei: "It's a good thing to get married and have children, because you should be happy, how much is there to buy a house?" ”
Gu Cheng: "Actually, our two families made up a lot, and the hometown borrowed a little more, and the down payment for a house of 60 square meters was enough, but her mother insisted that I buy a house of more than 80 square meters, and now the house price is 18,000, and the house of 80 square meters will cost more than 1.4 million, and the down payment will be more than 400,000, and I now have 350,000 yuan in my hand, and I want to ask you to borrow 100,000 yuan." ”
After listening to Gu Cheng, Zhao Lei thought to himself, sometimes it's a good thing to have a strong mother-in-law! You Gu Cheng now complain that your future mother-in-law has to let you buy 80 square meters, and when the house price rises to 3-40,000 yuan in two years, you will thank her, I don't know if Gu Cheng will laugh or complain when he looks back at that time?
Zhao Lei: "Okay! Don't borrow 100,000 yuan, you give me a card number, and I'll go back and transfer 150,000 yuan to you. ”
Gu Cheng: "100,000 is enough, and with 450,000 I have enough for a down payment." ”
Zhao Lei: "Don't you buy a house and don't decorate?" Besides, if you want a child, there will be more places to spend money in the future! ”
Gu Cheng pursed his lips and held back what he wanted to say.
It's not that Zhao Lei has to pretend to be forced to borrow 50,000 more from Gu Cheng, but that Zhao Lei remembers the love of his previous life.
In 18 years, Gu Cheng's career began to start, and in 19 years, he was also thin, at that time, Gu Cheng often called Zhao Lei to come out to drink some beer and eat a food stall, and Zhao Lei often responded to appointments at the beginning, and slowly Zhao Lei's self-esteem troubled, feeling that Gu Cheng was getting better and better, and he was getting worse and worse, feeling a little embarrassed, and then Gu Cheng called him out and he didn't come, but Gu Cheng still had nothing to call Zhao Lei to reminisce about the past, and specially told Zhao Lei to open his mouth if he had anything.
You must know that friends in 19 years are not friends now, 15-19 years, in just four years, China's human feelings have changed too much.
A friend of 15 years is still a true friend, and he can still rely on his friend for anything, but a friend of 19 years doesn't say to help you, as long as he doesn't want to pit you, he is a qualified friend.
In his previous life, Zhao Lei also wanted to buy a house in Jinling, but he didn't have enough money in his hand, so he also thought about borrowing from Gu Cheng, but he thought about it!
It has been 19 years since Zhao Lei wanted to buy a house in Jinling, at this time the house price in Jinling was already 3-40,000 yuan, even if it was a 60-square-meter house, it would cost 2 million, and the down payment would need more than 600,000 yuan, at that time, Zhao Lei only had tens of thousands of yuan in his hand, and his parents could also take out 200,000 yuan, isn't it disgusting for you to ask Zhao Lei to borrow 400,000 yuan from Gu Cheng for a down payment?
You almost have money to borrow from Gu Cheng, and you lack more than half of the money in your hand to buy a house, isn't it too shameful?
When people are brilliant, they generally can't remember who is good to him, because there are too many people who are good to him, but people will definitely remember who is good to him when they are at a low point.
So Zhao Lei has always remembered Gu Cheng treating him as a friend, and now that Gu Cheng opened his mouth to borrow money, Zhao Lei will definitely not let his words fall to the ground, of course, Gu Cheng is a practical person, which also accounts for a big reason.
The meal was finished, and the matter was discussed, Zhao Lei called the boss to come over to settle the bill, Gu Cheng wanted to rush to pay, but Zhao Lei didn't let him, Gu Cheng was about to buy a house, and his hand must be tight, so Zhao Lei rushed to buy the bill, and soon the boss didn't come, and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl came over with a list.
Little girl: "Thank you two handsome guys for taking care of my family's business, my dad's lobster is okay!" The two of them spend 368 together, just give 360. ”
Zhao Lei: "The taste is very good!" But since you call us handsome guys! If you don't give us a 20% discount, how can I show that I'm more handsome?. ”
Little girl: "How is it appropriate for the two to be so handsome and get a 20% discount, today I am in charge of the two of them." ”
When Zhao Lei heard this, he actually gave himself a free order, am I really handsome enough now that I can pay the bill with my face? Then he said in surprise: "Little girl, you're not joking, are you?" ”
The little girl first glanced at Zhao Lei, and then said calmly: "You were joking first!" ”
Zhao Lei was embarrassed for a while when he listened to the little girl's ridicule, and hurriedly took out 400 yuan from his pocket, handed it to the little girl, and said that there was no need to look for it.
Then he wanted to pull Gu Cheng to hurry away, but he didn't.
Because Gu Cheng on the side couldn't straighten his waist with a smile.
