Since Fan Jinyou was dismissed from his post and Xu Huizhen regained control of the tavern, he has strictly grasped the quality of the drinks.

And the waiters in the tavern are strictly required not to beat customers for no reason.

With its mellow old wine and high-quality service attitude, the tavern soon became the first choice for drinkers in Beijing.

Wealthy regular customers can order a few pots of old wine in the private room upstairs, ask the waiter to send a few plates of good dishes, and talk about wine with three or five friends.

If you are reluctant to spend money, you can also ask the waiter to send old wine, squat in the lobby, and drink a delicious meal with peanuts.

It's not.

The sun hasn't gone down yet, and the bistro is full of guests in front of its door.

Li Weidong got on his bicycle and came to the tavern in the faint sunset.

The door of the tavern is quaint, and a huge plaque reads "Under the Zhengyang Gate", which makes people instantly feel the unique charm of the old capital.

The proprietress Xu Huizhen stood in front of the door to greet the guests, and the fiery red sunset sprinkled on her fair cheeks, adding a bit of charm to her.

Seeing Li Weidong coming over, Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up, and he greeted the waiter inside: "Xiao Liu, you help me greet the guests." ”

Xiao Liu came out and saw that it was Li Weidong, and immediately smiled: "Sister Xu, go ahead, I am here!" ”

Xiao Liu is also an old employee of the tavern.

Back then, Fan Jinyou was powerful in the tavern, and it was Li Weidong who came forward to drive Fan Jinyou away, and the waiters all had a good impression of Li Weidong.

It's just that Li Weidong is already married, otherwise he is really a good match with the proprietress Fan Jinyou.

Xu Huizhen saw that there were many people outside, so she pulled Li Weidong to the warehouse behind the tavern.

Closing the door and turning on the light, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but feel anxious and threw herself into Li Weidong's arms.

"Brother Wei Dong, where have you been these days, why have you been avoiding me, you don't know how much I miss you."

Li Weidong stroked Xu Huizhen's hair and smiled dumbly.

The last time he came to the tavern was just over a month ago.

It's only been a long time, and Xu Huizhen can't help it.

A woman is like a bundle of firewood, once lit, it can never be extinguished.

"I've been busy for a while, and as you know, the poverty alleviation workshop has been expanded again, and I've encountered some troubles."

Li Weidong put his hands up and down.

"Trouble?" Xu Huizhen raised her head, pressed Li Weidong's chin, and whispered, "If you are in trouble, can you tell me?" ”

The tavern is now a famous tavern in the capital, sometimes one is hard to find, and it is the first choice for young people to set up wedding banquets.

Xu Huizhen is very sophisticated, and quickly turned these needs into resources, and built a good relationship with those people, so to speak, relying on the tavern, Xu Huizhen has established a huge network of relationships in the capital.

Of course, Xu Hui really knows the truth that people use a little less, and they will not use the network at will, but when she heard that Li Weidong was in trouble, she immediately expressed her willingness to help without hesitation.

However, is our Li Weidong the kind of person who eats soft rice?

"It's okay, it's settled."

"Since it's okay, you said you'd come over once in a few days?" Xu Huizhen took a sip of his face.

Li Weidong smiled: "Two weeks, how about it?" ”

"No, two weeks is too long, I can't help it." Xu Huizhen tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "For a week, you will come to the tavern to meet with me once a week in the future." Otherwise, I won't let you out today. ”

"Okay, good" Facing Xu Huizhen, a powerful woman in the middle school, Li Weidong could only raise his hand and surrender.

"Count from now on."

Xu Huizhen blushed and said this, and reached out to extinguish the lamp rope.

The warehouse was dark.

Half an hour later.

Li Weidong walked out of the warehouse refreshed, and just wanted to walk upstairs, when he suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Xu Huizhen: "Is there a gay man named Liu Guangqi who has booked a private room in your tavern?" ”

"Liu Guangqi is not thin and tall, when he speaks, he has an arrogant attitude, and he doesn't like to look at people with the right eyes."

"Yes, that's him."

"It turns out that he invited you, no wonder he ordered so many dishes." Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I knew that he was your friend, and I gave him an eighty percent discount." ”

As the manager of the tavern, Xu Huizhen has the privilege of discounting.

"It's okay, I'm not familiar with him." Of course, Li Weidong will not save money for bangs.

Besides, Liu Guangqi invited him to dinner, he must have something to ask for.

"That's good" Xu Huizhen was originally afraid that Li Weidong would be angry because she offended Liu Guangqi, and she immediately relieved herself when she heard this.

She pointed to the stairs and said, "The private room is at the end of the second floor, which is secluded, but you have to drink less, drinking too much is not good for your health." ”

"Okay, okay, it's really verbose."

"It's just verbose."

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly, made a gesture of assurance to Xu Huizhen, and strode up to the second floor.

At this time, it is in a private room on the second floor.

Liu Guangqi looked at a table of dishes, looking a little sad.

This table of vegetables cost him fifty yuan, plus two pots of old wine, a total of fifty-three yuan.

That's enough to pay him two months' salary.

The money is spent, and as long as things can be done, it's fine.

The point is that it is almost seven o'clock in the evening, and Li Weidong has not yet been seen.

If Li Weidong is really busy with something and doesn't come to the banquet, then he will be blind.

On the side, Huang Chunlan was also a little anxious.

In order to face Li Weidong in the best condition, she used all the alabaster she bought at a great price, and deliberately sprinkled incense powder on her body, smeared tung oil on her hair, and changed into the most beautiful clothes.

It can be said that Huang Chunlan has never been so active in her life.

But.

But the main man was nowhere to be seen.

Huang Chunlan frowned and looked up at Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, you won't fool me, right?" ”

"How could that be! My aunt, you still don't know me Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi patted his chest and said: "You let me go east, I don't dare to go west, how dare I lie to you!" ”

"Then why hasn't Li Weidong come yet?"

"However, it may be that people are busy with things and have lost time." Liu Guangqi explained: "People are big directors, where will they be as idle as small workers like us, and they can take care of all kinds of opportunities." ”

As he spoke, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Liu Guangqi stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the door, and when he saw that the person who came in was Li Weidong, Liu Guangqi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Wei Dong, you can be regarded as here."

It stands to reason that Liu Guangqi is more than a year older than Li Weidong, and he should call Li Weidong his younger brother, but now that he is the director, he still has something to beg others, and this "younger brother" can't be shouted no matter what.

Li Weidong laughed, strode over, and shook hands with Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, when will you come back, don't tell me, I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Guangqi was so moved that he almost shed tears.

He and Li Weidong are indeed old friends who have played since childhood, but when they were young, because Li Weidong's father was not at home because of the big car all the year round, he was often bullied by other children in the courtyard.

And Liu Guangqi is the eldest son of the second master of the courtyard, relying on the power of the bangs, plus being older, he naturally became the head of the children.

Instead of stopping the children from bullying Liu Weidong, he took the lead in bullying Li Weidong, and after doing bad things, he put the responsibility on Li Weidong's head.

I remember one time, Liu Guangqi mischievous, beat him crazy in the backyard with a brick, and accidentally broke the glass of the deaf old lady's house.

At that time, the deaf old lady was still very young and had a very short temper, and if anyone dared to disturb her, she would be beaten with a few sticks, and if it was serious, she would call her parents.

Facing the menacing deaf old lady, Liu Guangqi pushed Li Weidong out unhurriedly, claiming that Li Weidong smashed the glass.

Li Weidong must have denied it on the spot, but Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao testified beside him, and the deaf old lady did not believe Li Weidong's words, not only beat Li Weidong with a stick, but also found Li's father with Li Weidong's collar and asked Li's father for glass money.

At that time, there was a shortage of domestic materials, and there were few glass factories in the entire capital, and a piece of glass cost two yuan.

Father Li gritted his teeth and paid the money to the deaf old lady, but he did not scold Li Weidong, he believed Li Weidong's words.

There are many more things like this, and there are many times, and Li Weidong gradually alienated Liu Guangqi.

Now Li Weidong doesn't care about the things of the year at all, can Liu Guangqi be unhappy!

"Brother Wei Dong, you deserve to do great things, there are a lot of adults!"

"Heh, Guangqi, we are all in the same compound, we must help each other."

The two chatted a few words, and Li Weidong was about to sit down.

Huang Chunlan stood up and stretched out her hand towards Li Weidong: "Director Li, I'm Huang Chunlan, it's the first time we met, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Teach this girl how to act like a devil.

However, Li Weidong had to praise Liu Guangqi's good fortune.

Although Huang Chunlan is not as beautiful as Qin Huairu, not as mellow as Qin Jingru, and does not have Xu Huizhen's femininity, her body is full of wildness.

A pair of big black eyes are full of unruliness, and the two long legs are round and straight, full of wild beauty.

When he spoke, his head was dotted up and down, and the two ponytails on the back of his head shook up and down, looking like small wild horses on the grassland.

Liu Guangqi didn't expect that Huang Chunlan would take the initiative to shake hands with Li Weidong.

Although in this era, meeting and shaking hands is the most common etiquette, but after all, there are differences between men and women, especially Huang Chunlan is still a yellow flower girl, and when you see a man like Li Weidong, you should behave reservedly.

In fact, Huang Chunlan has always been very reserved, and she has been talking to Liu Guangqi for two years, but she has never let Liu Guangqi touch her little hand.

And now.

Liu Guangqi's gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked at the pink and white little hand, smiled, stood up and held it gently.

"This comrade, who are you?"

"Ahh I forgot to introduce myself. Huang Chunlan held Li Weidong's hand tightly and did not lose it, pursed her lips and smiled: "My name is Huang Chunlan, and I am the propaganda officer of the Propaganda Department of Baoding No. 1 Cotton Spinning Factory, good at dancing and loving to appreciate music."

Seeing that Huang Chunlan didn't let go, Liu Guangqi was a little anxious, and stood up to interrupt them: "Brother Wei Dong, Huang Chunlan is my object." ”

"What kind of object, we're not married yet!" Huang Chunlan glared at him angrily.

"Sooner or later," Liu Guangqi smirked.

Li Weidong finally understood, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a brother and sister, please take a seat." ”

He felt that his palm was scratched by Huang Chunlan, he smiled, let go of his hand and sat in his position.

Today's meal, I can't say I can eat meat.

Li Weidong's eyes caught a glimpse of Huang Chunlan secretly aiming at him, and he vaguely estimated in his heart.

"Come on, Brother Wei Dong, we two brothers haven't seen each other for a while, I want to toast you with a glass of wine today."

Liu Guangqi was excited at this time, and he didn't notice Huang Chunlan's small movements at all, and picked up the wine glass.

"Oh, why are you stupid, it's obviously a toast, why don't you pour wine for Director Li!" Huang Chunlan stood up and walked to Li Weidong's side, picked up the wine jug and poured him wine.

When pouring the wine, she also deliberately turned sideways, and her whole body bent in front of Li Weidong, her hair gently touched the tip of Li Weidong's pen, and Li Weidong felt a fragrant taste.

This woman is bold enough.

Li Weidong coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass, looked at Liu Guangqi and said, "Brother Guangqi, we are good friends, this glass of wine should have been honored by me." ”

"Come on, come on."

The two of them drank their glasses in one gulp.

Huang Chunlan poured wine for Li Weidong at the right time, and then picked up a glass herself.

"Director Li, I heard that you are the most famous talent in the courtyard, and when I saw you today, it was really extraordinary, come, I will also toast you."

"My brother and sister are really bold."

After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table was lively.

Liu Guangqi saw that the time had come, put down the wine glass, and said hesitantly.

"Brother Wei Dong, I can't hide it, I invite you to drink today, I have something to ask you for."

What is called nothing, Liu Guangqi is like this.

Even if you ask someone for help, you should say it slowly at the wine table, not just say it.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "We are brothers, if you have something, just say it, if you can help, I will definitely not refuse." ”

This sentence is also exquisite, if you can help, you must help, but if you can't help, then I'm sorry, don't blame me.

Liu Guangqi didn't seem to notice it, and sneered: "Here's the thing, Comrade Huang Chunlan and I are about to get married, but Chunlan's current job is in Baoding. I want to ask you for your help in transferring Chunlan to the capital. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Weidong frowned.

"Guangqi, you also know that there are very few jobs in our capital now, and there are many young people who can't find jobs."

"Moreover, transferring people from Baoding needs to go through seven or eight departments, and things are very difficult to do."

Liu Guangqi knew that Li Weidong was not exaggerating the difficulty of the matter.

The capital is a forty-nine city, and many people want to be able to settle in the capital. (End of chapter)
