Chapter 55: Friends
Xiao Jian and Huang Kai walked out of Ruisi Chemical Company, and it was already getting dark outside. The two of them were already hungry, Huang Kai found a small restaurant near the factory, the store was not big, only three or four tables were placed, and a few fans were hung on the wall, which were blowing at maximum power. At this time, it was past the peak of the meal, and only two men in overalls were eating.
Huang Kai found a table and sat down, and said apologetically: "It's too late, the cafeteria is closed." The location of the company is too remote, there are few restaurants near the factory, only this one is slightly better, the conditions are a little worse, sorry. ”
Xiao Jian waved his hand: "It's okay, just eat some." ”
Huang Kai beckoned the restaurant owner to come over and ordered two meats, one vegetable and one soup, all of which were served as food, and asked the boss to hurry up.
The boss is also quite efficient, and quickly brought the meal, and the two of them had a storm, which solved the problem of food and clothing.
During the meal, Huang Kai made a phone call, and Xiao Jian heard that he was contacting the car back to Jiangzhou. It was already more than 8 o'clock after the two finished eating, Huang Kai received a phone call, hung up after a few words, and told Xiao Jian that the car had arrived. The two walked out of the restaurant and saw a black Santana parked in front of the business.
Huang Kai went over to ask the driver of Santana, who was the owner of the car he contacted. The two got into the car, and the driver drove the car towards Jiangzhou City.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the car arrived in Jiangzhou City. Xiao Jian is similar in age to Huang Kai, and he doesn't have that kind of heavy bureaucracy, and the two have a lot of common hobbies and topics with each other, and they talked happily along the way.
Huang Kai paid the driver two old heads, and said to Xiao Jian: "Let's go, let's go to have supper together."
Xiao Jian shirked for a moment, and Huang Kai said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, it's not interesting for you to be alone in Jiangzhou, go have some night beer, and I'll call a few more friends to come over."
Xiao Jian felt that it would be too impersonal to resign, so he agreed.
The two took a taxi and came to the riverside together. Although it was midnight, the night snack shop and KTV business was still booming, and the nightlife in Jiangzhou had just begun.
Huang Kai found a night snack shop that seemed to have more customers, and asked the young man to move out a folding table and put it outside, where you can lean on the riverside fence, and the river breeze blows slowly, which has a unique flavor.
After the two sat down, Huang Kai ordered some snacks and ordered a case of beer. After a while, two young men came, one of whom was tall and strong, with a slightly dark skin. The other wears glasses and is thin.
"Huang Kai, it's been a long time since you've gathered," the tall and strong man said in a rough voice.
"Huang Kai, why do you have time to call us out today?" The man in glasses asked.
"I can't call you out if there's nothing to do? Today's weekend, everyone gathers, come, and introduce you to a friend. ”
Huang Kai looked at Xiao Jian and said: "This is Xiao Jian, from the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau, he is from Dingxi Province and graduated from Yenching Engineering University."
"Oh, high-achieving students," both sighed.
Xiao Jian said: "Hello! ”
"Hello!" The strong man stretched out his hand first.
Huang Kai said to Xiao Jian: "The two of them are my good buddies, we have played since childhood," he patted the strong man on the shoulder and said: "This is Zhao Mo, Jiangzhou City Traffic Police, we all call him silent." ”
The sturdy man actually showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and kicked Huang Kai fiercely.
Such a strong man actually had such a feminine name, Xiao Jian strongly suppressed his smile, and politely shook Zhao Mo's hand: "Officer Zhao, hello!" ”
"Brother Xiao Jian, if your car or your friend's car has a violation in the future, just look for him," Huang Kai said with a smile.
Zhao Mo patted his chest and smiled heartily: "Haha, Brother Xiao, don't worry, I can still help with this problem."
Huang Kai introduced the thin man again: "This is Gu Xiaodong, the Nanhui District Urban Management Detachment, specializing in smashing, looting, and trafficking in human beings."
Xiao Jian looked at Huang Kai in surprise, and Huang Kai couldn't help laughing.
Gu Xiaodong glanced at Huang Kai: "Kai, you are talking so badly, why are you still involved in human trafficking, is it okay for me to repatriate homeless people?" ”
Afraid that Xiao Jian would misunderstand, he hurriedly said again: "Brother, don't listen to Huang Kai's nonsense, our social reputation is not good, he is still reversing black and white here, but I can't wash it when I jump into the Yellow River."
"In fact, the chengguan is also very hard, and some small traders and hawkers do occupy the road and operate in a mess, disrupting the normal social order," Xiao Jian said.
"Oh, it's better for this brother to say, long live understanding, long live understanding," Gu Xiaodong heard Xiao Jian say this, and quickly stretched out his hands and shook Xiao Jian's hand excitedly.
Several people chatted for a while, Huang Kai handed each person a bottle of beer, and everyone filled the beer glasses in front of them.
Huang Kai raised his glass and said: "Today, I called everyone out to have a supper together, I haven't been together for a long time, and I also met Brother Xiao Jian, I'm very happy, come, everyone did it!" ”
"Good!" A few people slammed their cups and drank them all.
Gu Xiaodong said: "Brother Xiao is in the Economic and Trade Bureau, this is a good unit, dealing with enterprises every day, and having great power!" I thought I wanted to enter this unit at the beginning, but my father asked someone to find a relationship, but I was not angry, alas, I didn't get into the interview. ”
Xiao Jian smiled and said: "Actually, the power is not as great as you said, but because it is an enterprise-related unit, it has more contact with the enterprise and has a lot of responsibility." ”
"Hehe, brother, let's go," Gu Xiaodong touched a glass with Xiao Jian.
"Huang Kai, how did you and Brother Xiao Jian meet?" Zhao Mo asked curiously beside him.
"Oh, today Xiao Jian accompanied his section chief to our company to check, but when he got to the door, his section chief said that he was going to Jinshan City on a business trip temporarily, and he left without saying a word before, and left Xiao Jian alone, and finally we finished the inspection at 7 o'clock."
"I'm grass!" When Zhao Mo heard this, he picked up the cup and smashed it heavily on the table, and the sound startled the guests at the adjacent table.
"That's fucking the section chief, how can he be a leader like this."
", dare to bully Brother Xiao Jian like this, Lao Tzu called his brothers to abolish him," Gu Xiaodong said indignantly.
"Don't, he's always been this kind of person, like this to everyone, forget it, let's not be like him. Because of this, I met a few of you brothers," Xiao Jian hurriedly persuaded, he was really afraid that Gu Xiaodong would really go to Tian Zhiqian on impulse.
"That's right, this kind of person is not worthy of being a leader, you don't need to bird him, come, drink together", Zhao Mo's anger slowly cooled down.
"Xiao Jian, do you have any friends?" Zhao Mo asked.
Xiao Jian smiled and shook his head: "No, I have only been in Jiangzhou for less than a month, and this territory is not yet ripe."
"Momo, you introduce him to a few girls," Huang Kai said with a smile.
"You can pull it down, I haven't solved my personal problems yet, hey, I have to find Xiaodong for this matter, he is an expert", Zhao Mo pointed to Gu Xiaodong after speaking.
"That's right, Xiaodong has a lot of resources, bullying men and women all day long," Huang Kai said with a smile.
Gu Xiaodong laughed twice: "Okay, I won't refute you, that's right, my ideal is to become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of life." ”
Huang Kai smiled: "Brother, don't talk nonsense about whether my ideals are good or not, I want to be the CEO." ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "Your ideals are all lofty, I just want to retire and open a restaurant in the future." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Jian couldn't help laughing, Zhao Mo looked like he was five big and three thick, and he still had such an ideal.
"Yes, his food is delicious, and it is not inferior to those restaurant chefs," Mr. Huang said.
"That's right, his garlic pork ribs are very delicious, Xiao Jian, you must taste them another day," Gu Xiaodong couldn't help but lick his lips when he thought of this.
Xiao Jian looked at the three of them and felt that they were all very bold and sincere. The summer nights in Jiangzhou are so long, and being able to drink with these brothers, talk about life, and talk about ideals and ambitions, Xiao Jian feels that this state is really comfortable.
"By the way, Xiao Jian, what is your ideal?" Huang Kai asked suddenly.
"My ideal? Oh, yes! What is my ideal? Xiao Jian couldn't help but put a big question mark in his heart.
