Chapter 30: Friends

"Brothers, whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want." Several people sat down one after another, and Li Yan called the proprietress over and handed the menu to a few people.

"Li Yan, you kid got rich?" Wu Xiaotian asked in some surprise.

Li Yan smiled shyly: "When I was in school before, I was thanks to you for taking care of me. Today, it's been a year since we graduated, and it's time for me to ask for a return. ”

Several people didn't take the menu, but handed it over to Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng asked while looking at the menu, "What have you been busy with lately?" I haven't seen you for more than three months. ”

Li Yan explained: "I followed a group in Hengdian, a Republic of China drama filmed by Liu Wei, the senior brother of the 95th class. ”

"Liu Wei? His money is not easy to earn. Hearing Li Yan's words, Chen Li couldn't help but interject.

"I didn't ask for an endorsement in the screenplay, and he didn't treat me too badly."

"I don't think it will be more than 10,000 yuan." Chu Ran had contact with Liu Wei when he was in school before, this guy was relatively picky, in addition to being more picky, the fee given was the lowest in the same type.

"Hehe, it's good to be able to give five thousand." Chen Li pouted, when he was a sophomore, Liu Wei once asked him to be an assistant director, and he was only willing to give 2,000 yuan at that time. In Liu Wei's words, this is to help him accumulate experience and be on his own in the future.

"That's enough for me." Li Yan showed a wry smile, and did not disclose how much the other party gave, which seemed to be no more than the figure Chen Li guessed.

According to the practice of several people, Zhou Cheng came with one peanut edamame, fifty skewers of mutton, beef, and crispy bones, and a little eggplant, chili, and leek, asked Chen Li, and ordered a grilled fish according to Qian Lele's preferences, and then handed the menu to Chu Ran.

“…… Brother Li, will the waist help you make up for two strings? …… Hehe, let's have two of us...... By the way, there is this, come to six ......" Chu Ran's ordering was relatively rude, and he ordered more than a dozen skewers just for the big supplements, and the price of these things was much higher, plus the skewers in front, the cost was several hundred more. This made Wu Xiaotian and the others look at Chu Ran all the time.

Chu Ran didn't care, after ordering, he took the menu to look at the drinks, and then brought a bottle of blue and white Fenjiu, a pot of freshly squeezed juice, a box of Yanjing and two packs of Huazi.

"Chu Ran, this is a bit much." Tao Ze looked at Li Yan and whispered to Chu Ran.

Tao Ze's words were heard by Li Yan, he showed a trace of gratitude, and then signaled: "Not much, everyone is happy today." You don't have to save me money. ”

Chu Ran waved his hand, threw one of the packets of Huazi to Zhou Cheng, and said to Li Yan: "What do you ask, Chu Ye will pay for it today." I've already paid for it. ”

"Chu Ran, you ......" Hearing this, Li Yan stood up with a "rub", and looked at Chu Ran with some displeasure: "Let's talk about it, I'll treat you......"

"Next time you come. There's a reason why I'm paying today, brother. Chu Ran patted him on the shoulder, revealing a pitiful and miserable image: "It's really not my brother's face, today Brother Cheng helped me contact a big job, if you don't give me this opportunity tonight, tomorrow my brother will invite him to Kempinski, you must know that there is at least a few thousand." Li Yan, you should help my brother this time......"

"Kempinski?" Hearing Chu Ran's words, several people all looked at Zhou Cheng, who was unpacking cigarettes, and the youngest Wu Xiaotian hurriedly took a lighter and offered it: "Orange, ah no, Brother Cheng!" Let's come tonight, let's go to Kempinski tomorrow with you. ”

"Yes, Ah Cheng, it's really not okay, I'll pay for it tonight, and bring me one tomorrow night." Tao Zeyi was so excited that he even blurted out Cantonese.

"Zhou Cheng, I have a treat today, how can I suddenly change my hexagram." Li Yan didn't want to go to a five-star hotel for a big meal, but thought that Zhou Cheng was helping him in disguise, although he was grateful, his self-esteem was still affected in the slightest.

"Brothers, today is really Chu Ran's treat. Originally, Chen Li and I were already going to call him, but then this kid called first......" Zhou Cheng scattered a few cigarettes, and then explained the incident roughly: "I will go to the Renyi Guest House tomorrow to catch up with the book, and there are a lot of other things to do in the future, it will take at least a few weeks before and after, otherwise I can let him go so easily." ”

"Renyi drama? The book you wrote? After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, several people looked at Chen Li on the side and nodded, only to believe that Wu Xiaotian looked left and right at Zhou Cheng: "Zhou Cheng, you kid is really hidden." We thought you were saying goodbye to the screenwriting industry, but we didn't expect you to hold back a big move. ”

"No way, that's talent." Zhou Cheng smiled proudly and raised his eyebrows at Chu Ran: "When I was in school, I let this kid not be convinced, and then he went back to his hometown in Qinghai to raise cattle, so he was proud for a while." Now that he has no job after graduation, I will give him a boost. ”

"Cut, I think you're out of shit luck." Chu Ran expressed disdain, but when he saw Zhou Cheng's unkind eyes, he hurriedly laughed: "Brother Cheng, Master Cheng, your skewers are here, how about you taste first." ”

Seeing that the boss sent the baked ingredients over, several people began to taste them, but Chu Ran's attitude made everyone laugh.

According to the usual habits of several people, Chu Ran and Zhou Cheng drank liquor, and the others drank beer, and Qian Lele would help Chen Li drive and drink juice.

Tao Ze picked up a glass of beer and leaned over to Zhou Cheng: "Brother Cheng, if you have such a good thing, you can also bring me up, we used to be next to each other." ”

"Get out of the way, don't be so." Zhou Cheng pushed him away, and said arrogantly: "You and Xiaotian should go to graduate school with Teacher Huang, after a few years of accumulation of knowledge, it is very likely to catch up with me." ”

Tao Ze, who felt despised and began to pull allies: "Xiaotian, don't eat first, come over quickly." How do I feel that the most stinky fart today is this guy, are we going to let him lie on his stomach in the grass for the night today. ”

"As far as his amount of wine, I can leave half of the amount to lie down to him, you play with him first, and I want to toast my sister-in-law here." Wu Xiaotian ignored him, and said to Qian Lele with a wine glass: "Sister-in-law, I am the youngest and the most simple among us, if my sister-in-law has a beautiful little sister in the future, she must introduce it to me." ”

"You can talk about it, you are the one who doesn't return the most at night in our dormitory." Hearing Wu Xiaotian's words, Tao Ze quit and began to expose each other's shortcomings with him.

"The one who doesn't return at night is Chu Ran, okay......"

"Xiaotian, this is your fault, I'm not a ...... in your dormitory"

After a while, the originally unified front began to collapse from the inside, and the three of them began to scold each other unconvinced, which was also the norm in the drinking field of several people.

Li Yan didn't participate, and sat next to Zhou Cheng with a wine glass: "Zhou Cheng, thank you." ”

"My own brother, don't be so polite." Zhou Cheng touched him: "Chu Ran was able to receive this job today, more because he helped Brother Li adapt the script and became famous in Renyi, Director He Jiping of Renyi had a good impression of him, so I would have such a proposal with Brother Li." ”

Although it had little to do with the other people who helped Chu Ran receive this resource, Zhou Cheng still explained a little. After all, we are all friends, so try not to be a mustard.

"I understand. Chu Ran was the first to become famous in our session, and we are all happy for him to be able to get such an opportunity. Li Yan accompanied Zhou Cheng to have another drink: "I really want to treat you today." ”

Looking at Zhou Cheng's puzzled gaze, Li Yan poured himself another glass of beer: "The day before yesterday, my younger brother and sister came out with their college entrance examination scores, and they were all very good, and they could almost go to 211 school." ”

"Congratulations!" Zhou Cheng toasted him with a glass of wine.

"Thank you." Li Yan smothered the beer in the cup and breathed a sigh of relief: "I spent four years to send them to college, and then I saved 20,000 yuan for them." The rest is up to them, and I'm ready to live for myself in the future. ”
