Chapter 8 Shame on oneself
The atmosphere in the box was a little strange for a while, some people were shocked and some people were embarrassed.
It was only after Zhou Lin'er pulled Xu Ping to sit down that everyone returned to their normal colors.
"Xu Ping, where do you work? What for? That's a lot of bonuses! A female classmate asked curiously.
"Jiang Group, I'm just an assistant, but I was lucky today and pulled a cooperation for the company, so I only have a bonus of 300,000 yuan." Xu Ping chuckled.
"Cut, what's the big deal, isn't it 300,000." Wei Li, who came back to her senses, muttered, her tone sour.
"300,000 is nothing, I have 50,000 or 60,000 pocket money a month, and 300,000 is enough for me to save as soon as I save it!" Ma Wei also snorted lightly.
The female classmate who asked Xu Ping looked at the two of them with a strange expression: "300,000 is nothing, but Wei Li, do you have it?" And Ma Wei, this is just a bonus for one day from Xu Ping, do you know one day? ”
She has a close relationship with Zhou Lin'er, loves the house and Wu, and of course stands on Xu Ping's side.
Hearing her words, Wei Li and Ma Wei both blushed at the same time and no longer talked about it.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this, let's eat quickly, the food is going to be cold." Zhou Lin'er smiled and skipped the topic.
Although she doesn't like Ma Wei, and even hates him a little, no matter how she says today's birthday banquet, Ma Wei is the boss, and she still has to save some face for Ma Wei.
Originally, she and a few classmates had planned to have dinner at another hot pot restaurant, but when they went, there was no room in that hot pot restaurant, and they couldn't resist Ma Wei's invitation, so they came to this restaurant with him.
Zhou Lin'er didn't know that the hot pot restaurant actually had a private room, but Ma Wei stuffed money for the boss in advance and asked the boss not to receive Zhou Lin'er and them.
The atmosphere at the table soon became lively again, and Xu Ping and Zhou Lin'er and other classmates could also chat together, but Ma Wei and Wei Li were sullen and unattended.
It seemed that he couldn't stand this kind of coldness, Ma Wei got up with a calm face, and left the box under the pretext of going to the toilet.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he met a middle-aged man passing by.
"Professor Chen!" Ma Wei recognized the middle-aged man as a professor of calligraphy at their university, and he happened to have taught him.
"Huh? It's Ma Wei, you're eating here too? Professor Chen stopped, had some impression of Ma Wei, and could call his name directly.
"I accompanied the student on his birthday, by the way, Professor Chen, my birthday classmate also took your class, her name is Zhou Lin'er, I don't know if you still remember her?" Ma Wei asked.
"Hehe, of course I remember, you and she are both the more talented students I have taught." Professor Chen smiled and nodded.
"Professor Chen, why don't you come in and have a drink? I would like to introduce you to the other students, and I will definitely be very happy if Lin'er can get your blessing. Ma Wei's eyes rolled and he moved half of his body away.
"Well, that's fine." Professor Chen agreed after a little groaning and walked into the box.
"Everyone, be quiet, let me introduce to you, this is Professor Chen of our college's calligraphy class, and also the vice president of our Lincheng Calligraphy Association, Lin'er and I have both taken Professor Chen's class."
Ma Wei opened his mouth loudly, introduced Professor Chen to everyone, and at the same time gave Wei Li a look.
"Professor Chen, why are you here?" Zhou Lin'er got up in surprise and greeted Professor Chen.
"Wow, it turns out that Ma Wei, you still learned calligraphy? I remember that you can also play the piano, painting and Go, you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! ”
When Wei Li received Ma Wei's eyes, she immediately understood, stood up and showed an expression of admiration, glanced at Xu Ping at the same time, and continued: "You are so versatile, and I don't know what Lin'er thinks, I'd rather find someone who is incompetent than accept you." ”
"Alas, Lin'er, your gaze is really not good......" Wei Li sighed with pity.
Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
A group of classmates looked at Ma Wei with surprise on their faces, only then did they know that he still had such talents.
Some people who originally thought that Xu Ping was better than him unconsciously changed their minds.
Most girls of this age are full of fantasies about their future Prince Charming, young and golden, versatile, and handsome, isn't this the standard Prince Charming?
They suddenly discovered that Ma Wei was actually very good, and Xu Ping couldn't compare to him at all.
Although Xu Ping has a bonus of 300,000 yuan a day, Xu Ping himself said that it was just luck, he was just an assistant, and his monthly salary was not much at all.
And what about Ma Wei? People have fifty or sixty thousand pocket money a month!
The family conditions are so good, and when he graduates and inherits the family business, how many years does Xu Ping have to work hard to catch up with him?
Looking at the birthday gifts given to Zhou Lin'er by the two, Ma Wei gave more than 6,000 gifts as soon as he made a move, which was extremely magnanimous.
Xu Ping took a bonus of 300,000 yuan, but only gave a music box of a few hundred yuan, which was really picky.
Comparing the connotation of the two again, Ma Weiqin is proficient in calligraphy and painting, what about Xu Ping?
Everyone looked at him, and saw that he was gnawing on a crab without any image, and they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
There is no comparison.
Ma Wei noticed the change in everyone's expressions, looked proud, and glanced at Wei Li with appreciation.
Wei Li finally found a point to hit Xu Ping, and she was also very happy, and continued to speak: "Xu Ping, tell me what you will do?" ”
"Me?" Xu Ping glanced up at Wei Li, and then at Professor Chen, with a slightly stunned expression on his face: "President Chen, why are you here?" ”
This Professor Chen is the President Chen I saw in the Shanhai Club.
"Little brother, what a coincidence." President Chen smiled, and was also surprised to meet Xu Ping here.
"Professor Chen, do you know each other?" Ma Wei looked puzzled, and Zhou Lin'er was also surprised.
"I know, little brother Xu's cursive handwriting, I'm ashamed of myself." President Chen sighed.
Consider oneself inferior to another?!
Ma Wei was shocked, and Zhou Lin'er and the others were also shocked.
Xu Ping actually knows calligraphy, and it makes President Chen sigh to himself? !
Wei Li blushed, she just said that Xu Ping was powerless, but President Chen's words immediately gave her a resounding slap.
"President Chen is humble, I write it casually, where can I compare with you." Xu Ping wiped his hands and smiled.
Write casually?
Ma Wei now longs for a crack in the ground for him to get into.
Originally, I wanted to let everyone know that I knew calligraphy through President Chen, and my level was not bad, so as to show my talent and connotation, but I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make it a mess.
Xu Ping's calligraphy even said that Chairman Chen was ashamed, what else did he show?
No matter how good his level is, can he compare with Chairman Chen?
Not to mention comparing it to people who are not as good as Chairman Chen!
The balance in the hearts of the students inadvertently fell to Xu Ping's side.
And Zhou Lin'er blushed slightly, and looked at Xu Ping with a hint of discoloration.
"By the way, I can play the piano casually, I can also learn some painting, and I can play Go casually, I should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?"
"Alas, there are not many people in this world who are as good as me......"
Xu Ping has an expression that he is too good and unbearable, but this expression is too contrived, which makes people want to hit people when they look at it.
The eyes of the students who looked at him became strange, and the admiration for him that had arisen because of President Chen's words had faded a little.
The corners of President Chen's mouth twitched, and he coughed dryly twice to divert the topic: "Zhou Lin'er, I heard Ma Wei say that today is your birthday, and the teacher toasts you with a glass and wishes you a happy birthday." ”
He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured two glasses of wine and sent blessings to Zhou Lin'er.
"Thank you, Professor Chen." Zhou Lin'er and President Chen had a toast, and then returned the toast.
President Chen didn't stay long, handed Xu Ping a business card, and left the box.
Everyone had eaten almost, and after discussing a few words, they left the restaurant, ready to find a KTV to sing.
Ma Wei lost face just now, but at this time he stood up again and suggested: "Let's go to Purple Night KTV if we sing, the environment there is good and the equipment is high-end." ”
"But the consumption of Purple Night KTV is so high......" Zhou Lin'er hesitated.
"It's okay, I'm still in for a treat! My cousin was the manager there and he was able to give us a discount and also gave us the best private room. ”
Ma Wei glanced at Xu Ping when he said this, regained a little confidence, and continued: "The Imperial Hall knows, right? Most people can't book this private room if they want to book, this is a private room specially provided for purple diamond members, and it costs 120,000 yuan to get a purple diamond membership card! ”
"120,000?!"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this number, and it was hard to imagine who were the people who had made up this Purple Diamond membership.
It's too luxurious!
"Ma Wei, what you said is true? Can we really sing in the Imperial Hall of Purple Night KTV? A female classmate asked, with her eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true." Ma Wei looked proud, and glanced at Xu Ping defiantly, but saw that he and Zhou Lin'er were whispering, and didn't pay attention to him at all.
Ma Wei was instantly angry, coughed vigorously, and said loudly: "This society is not something that can be mixed with a little talent, not only to have money, but also to have connections and connections, such as the Purple Night KTV, the emperor hall, if it is not for me to have a relationship, some people are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to experience it once in their lives." ”
Xu Ping scratched his head, looked at Ma Wei, and sighed: "I said Ma Wei, if you want to say it, I'll say it clearly, don't bring your classmates in, it's not good." ”
As soon as he said this, all the classmates frowned, and they felt sorry for Ma Wei.
Although they all knew that Ma Wei was squeezing Xu Ping, this remark also made them uncomfortable.
Ma Wei's face changed, and he quickly explained: "I didn't say everyone, I mean...... Forget it, when I said the wrong thing, let's go, let's go to KTV first, and I'll punish myself with three cups in a while to make amends to everyone! ”
Everyone's faces softened slightly, and they took taxis one after another and set off separately.
Ma Wei had his own car and originally wanted to take Zhou Lin'er, but Zhou Lin'er refused and got into a taxi with Xu Ping.
Ma Wei's face was gloomy, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, he took Wei Li with him, and drove towards the purple night without saying a word.
Zhou Lin'er, since you are so uninteresting, then don't blame me for using means!
