Chapter 36: I'm sorry to be late
Because it was the noon rush hour, Yang Chen had not arrived at the Baoqing Hotel until half past eleven.
Wang Lixin sent a message and called again, but Yang Chen didn't want to deal with her, so he didn't give any response.
Therefore, Wang Lixin decided that Yang Chen would not come.
This Hongmen banquet was set up for Yang Chen, and it would be meaningless if he didn't come.
Zhang Jiankun had a showdown with Wang Lixin, he didn't invite this meal, and asked everyone AA.
Wang Lixin was stunned when she heard it, at this time, she called everyone AA, so how will she mix in these classmates in the future?
The two quarreled as they spoke, and the classmates in the box hurriedly came out to see what was going on.
After knowing what Zhang Jiankun meant, the classmates really exploded.
Some people just come to have a meal, and now they want to AA, they definitely don't want to.
"Wang Lixin, it's boring for you two to do this. Although we are not rich people, we still have money for a meal, so we don't have to let you have a treat. But do you think it's interesting that you tricked us into coming here in the name of a treat, and now you say you want us AA? β
"No one is forcing you to have a treat, but since you have offered it, you must do what you say. What do you think of us, fools? β
"It's a shame that we still help you condemn Yang Chen, and you do this to us?"
β¦β¦
Wang Lixin cried and complained to Zhang Jiankun: "Are you happy? You're going to have to make me a traitor, don't you? β
Zhang Jiankun immediately replied: "They are your classmates, not my classmates, why should I treat them?" β
Wang Lixin countered: "Then why did you use my mobile phone to send a message saying that you want to have a treat?" Aren't you ruining me? β
Zhang Jiankun stopped talking.
At this time, Wu Tao, who had always had thoughts about Wang Lixin, felt that the opportunity had come.
The last time Wang Lixin was trapped on the cross-river bridge, he wanted to drive to pick him up.
Zhang Jiankun was also there at that time, so he was embarrassed to go over.
Now that Zhang Jiankun and Wang Lixin are in conflict, he feels that his opportunity has come.
Of course, he didn't want to bear the cost of the meal himself, but to persuade everyone to AA, so that he could also help Wang Lixin solve her urgent needs.
"Alright, alright. You're right, you're not our classmate, so don't go to our class reunion. We're not short of the cost of this meal, since we're here, AA is AA. You can't leave with the restaurant, right? Then we are too shameless. Isn't that right? Wu Tao said.
The situation has developed to this point, and it seems that this is the only way to do it.
Wu Tao continued: "Zhang Jiankun, you don't take care of Wang Lixin's feelings so much, I don't think you love her at all. If you love her, how can you make her embarrassed in front of so many old classmates? β
Zhang Jiankun smiled, took out a stack of money from his bag, and said, "It's not that I don't have money to entertain, but you are not my classmates, so I have no reason to invite." You know? β
Wang Lixin wiped her tears and said, "Zhang Jiankun, let's break up." I don't want to see you again, you get out of here! β
Zhang Jiankun smiled and said, "Break up, break up, don't regret it!" β
Wu Tao saw that his plan succeeded, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't ruin your mood for him." Let's go back to the box for dinner. β
After speaking, Wu Tao pushed Wang Lixin into the box, and the others sighed helplessly and followed in.
Zhang Jiankun let out a sigh of relief, turned around and entered the box next door.
There were 10 people in this box, all of whom were invited by Zhang Jiankun to help deal with Yang Chen.
Now that Yang Chen is not here, this money has been spent in vain.
Wu Tao's family background is okay, mainly because his uncle opened a company, and he is now a business manager in his uncle's company, and his starting point is higher than others.
Usually entertaining customers, he basically brings Baoqing Hotel.
Now that Zhang Jiankun has been kicked out, he is the most knowledgeable person in this dinner.
"It's AA, but I can promise you that you won't regret it. This Baoqing Hotel is a local brand in Haicheng and will be listed soon. Here you can eat eight major cuisines, as well as Western cuisine. The location of the main store is very good, only one kilometer away from the Pearl Tower, and not far south to the Bund. There are customers who come over, and I basically bring them here to eat, and none of the customers say bad. Wu Tao talked eloquently.
The other students are ordinary staff and generally do not have access to such restaurants.
But listening to Wu Tao's introduction, the students became more restrained.
The better he says, the more expensive the meal becomes.
These are young people who have just graduated for a year, and most of them have to rely on family handouts to survive in a city like Haicheng.
If the meal is too expensive, even AA is beyond their reach.
"It's good, I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I will have to eat soil for the rest of the month."
"I checked last night, and the average consumption here is 500 yuan."
"Damn, it's so expensive. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just changed jobs, the probation period hasn't passed, and now I can survive completely on the support of my family. I took out 500 yuan at once, and I really want to eat soil later. β
"Wang Lixin, have you ordered the food? How much does it cost? β
β¦β¦
Wang Lixin panicked, and hurriedly replied: "It's almost more than 8,000." β
There are 14 people in total, and more than 8,000 doesn't mean that everyone has to get nearly 600 yuan?
"Damn, then I not only have to eat dirt, but I can't even pay the phone bill."
"Which of you is richer, lend me a little. I'll pay you back when I get paid next month. β
"Wang Lixin, you can lend me some money. You made this happen, and you can't say it if you don't help. β
"Yes, yes, we won't let you have a treat, you have to lend us AA to pay for it."
β¦β¦
Since being scolded by Yang Chen in front of the whole class, Wang Lixin has been willing to degenerate and live on men.
After graduating, she changed jobs three times, all of which were fired before the probationary period.
She is completely dependent on Zhang Jiankun to support her, and where can she lend them money.
"I ...... I don't have any money. I don't have a job right now, and I haven't eaten this meal anymore. Wang Lixin whispered.
This is a class reunion, it's clearly a miserable meeting.
Wu Tao felt that the opportunity was ripe, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm grass, aren't you?" It's hard for you to be like this for just 600 dollars? If you can't get it, I'll lend it to you. Just remember to pay me back next month. β
"Brother Tao, I still have you!"
"When I was in school, Brother Tao was our big brother, and I still have to rely on you when I come out of school."
"Wang Lixin, don't you think a man like Brother Tao is more reliable than that Zhang Jiankun?"
"That's it, that's it, it just so happened that you also broke up, Brother Tao was also interesting to you back then, you also know it, why don't you try to be together now."
"Yes, yes, yes! This is good, this is good. We can't really just come for a meal, if you two do, it's not in vain that we AA. β
β¦β¦
Wu Tao was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that these old classmates still had the ability to see.
Wang Lixin was also overjoyed in her heart, she just lost Zhang Jiankun's meal ticket, and Wu Tao took the initiative to send it up, which is not seamless.
However, as a girl, you have to be reserved in the face of relationship problems, and you have to indulge in it, right?
"Oh, don't talk nonsense. Wu Tao is so good, he must have a girlfriend. If you let the family know, it will be a misunderstanding. Wang Lixin said very greenly.
Wu Tao hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, don't joke." Although I don't have a girlfriend, Xiao Xin has just ended a relationship, how can I start another relationship immediately? Don't make a fuss, let's hurry up and eat. β
"Yo, Xiaoxin, it's so sweet."
"I'm grass, you two match a face, don't resist, it's decided so happily."
"If you two are not together, heaven will not tolerate it!"
β¦β¦
The classmates are still very powerful, and they make Wu Tao very happy.
Wu Tao's brain suddenly became hot, and he said: "In this way, everyone is so happy today, make a hairy AA." I helped Xiao Xin invite everyone to eat this meal. It's just more than 8,000 yuan, and I can afford it. β
"Brother Tao, domineering!"
"Brother Tao, you are my own brother!"
"Wang Lixin, such a responsible man, don't hesitate to miss it."
β¦β¦
Wang Lixin deliberately glanced at Wu Tao secretly, and deliberately let him find that this glance almost made Wu Tao take off.
At this moment, the box door was pushed open, and Yang Chen walked in.
"I'm sorry everyone, there is a traffic jam on the road, and I'm late." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Wu Tao immediately said: "Yang Chen, I grass, you can be regarded as coming." We thought you wouldn't even come to the class reunion in order to earn a few dozen dollars. β
Chen Yuwan: "Do you know that just because you came late, Wang Lixin and her boyfriend quarreled and broke up." β
Li Liu: "No, you also notified us of the traffic jam." If you don't say a word, we all think you're not coming. β
Yang Chen replied with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, there is a traffic jam on the road, and there is no battery on the mobile phone, so I didn't tell everyone." β
The girls saw that Yang Chen was still as handsome as he was in school, but he had a little more of the charm of a mature man, and they all started to think carefully.
Not to mention whether you can get married, being able to fall in love with such a handsome and tasteful man is also the most unforgettable memory of a lifetime.
Xia Yurou hurriedly said: "Oh, okay, okay, Yang Chen said sorry a lot when he entered the door, it's almost there." Yang Chen, come over and sit here. β
After speaking, Xia Yurou asked Li Liu to move his position.
At this time, Xu Xiaowan hurriedly said: "Come and sit on my side, there is a vacant seat on my side." β
In fact, there is no vacancy next to Xu Xiaowan.
On her left is Chen Liyun, and on her right is Wang Lixin.
But she got up and pulled a chair over and forcibly added a seat between her and Wang Lixin.
Good guy, she stunned everyone with this operation.
But soon everyone understood what she meant, she was clearly going to pursue Yang Chen.
Yang Chen could only be here for about half an hour, and he would have to meet with Xue Yinong later.
It doesn't matter where you sit, it's important to start the meal as soon as possible.
Yang Chen walked over and said with a smile: "Squad leader, thank you." β
Xu Xiaowan smiled slightly and said, "No thanks." Sit down, I'm hungry, let's start eating. β
The squad leader spoke, and everyone was not good at what to say.
But Wang Lixin was not happy in her heart, and asked: "How could you bear to throw me on the bridge last time?" β
"Is it a class reunion today, or is it an old score?" Yang Chen replied unceremoniously.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Wang Lixin asked unreasonably.
"What's the explanation for you? I've heard the recordings, do you want to explain anything I need to give you? Yang Chen replied with a straight face.
Wang Lixin still wanted to speak, but Wu Tao preemptively said: "Yang Chen, don't be angry, other girls have been wronged, just vent." You said you were late, do you have to show it? β
"Huh? How to represent? Yang Chen asked.
Wu Tao hurriedly replied: "I have already contracted this meal, and I don't need you to pay." But you have to apologize to everyone and open a few bottles of wine for everyone. I'm going to sing later, so I won't drink the liquor, so we'll open two bottles of the wine bar. Both boys and girls can drink a little to help with fun without getting drunk. Do you think it's good? β
Those guys who came purely to rub food immediately responded.
"Yes, yes, Brother Tao is right. Yang Chen, you have to show the sincerity of your apology. β
"Everyone, even if we don't speak, you should say it. Right? β
"I've heard that you can earn more than 1,000 a day by driving an online car-hailing service, and you're not short of money to open two bottles of red wine. Right? β
β¦β¦
Xia Yurou hurriedly said: "If you want to drink, you can buy it yourself, why is this." β
Xu Xiaowan was not to be outdone, and hurriedly said: "We don't drink, you can buy it yourself if you want to drink." β
The boys are all convinced, why do they rush to defend him as soon as they talk about Yang Chen?
Can't we both take a fancy to him?
Yang Chen is now a shareholder of Baoqing Hotel, and it is not a big deal to invite two bottles of wine, so he should take care of the hotel business.
He was about to open his mouth when two waiters pushed the door open and came in.
They were holding two bottles of red wine in their hands, which was actually the Rolls Royce of red wine, a bottle of more than a million RomanΓ©e Conti.
