Seeing Wu Mo come out of the general manager's office and glance at An Kang with a cold face, intentionally or unintentionally, made An Kang shudder. Since Wu Mo entered the general manager's office until the evening, Ankang was worried about being called to Zheng Lichen's office for a formal conversation at any time.

It was not until Zheng Lichen, Wu Mo, Ye Qi and most of his colleagues left the office that An Kang took a long breath and sent a text message to Liu Xinran: "I'm ready to get off work." Where are you? ”

Liu Xinran quickly called: "You finally got off work?" What time is it? ”

"yes. It's been a busy day. Ankang tilted his head and tucked his phone while tidying up his desk.

"We ate on Huaihai Road. I guess we'll all finish eating when you come over. Either you eat something first. Wait a minute, you'll be almost there, and I'll tell you where we are. ”

Ankang finished the phone call, packed up his things and went downstairs. At McDonald's on the first floor, I bought a Big Mac set meal and walked to Pudong South Road to catch the bus while eating.

Huaihai Road is actually not far from Lujiazui, but because it is separated by a Huangpu River, it takes more than half an hour to take a bus. Combined with the walking time at both ends and the time spent waiting for the bus, it adds up to more than an hour to arrive.

As soon as the bus drove near the big world, Ankang received a call from Liu Xinran, telling him to go to a bar to meet. Ankang determined the route, got off the bus and changed to another bus bound for Xujiahui. It took about ten minutes to get to the place where Liu Xinran said.

A bar is a bar, both from the exterior of the house and from the neon lights that stretch from the second floor to the roof. But this bar makes Ankang feel different from the bars I've been in before. As soon as I entered the door, four girls in long skirts smiled and bowed to greet them. Under that eager gaze, Ankang couldn't help but straighten his waist.

When I entered the bar, I didn't see any wine, I didn't see a bar, and I didn't even see anyone.

Ankang hesitated for a moment, and was about to retreat to the door to confirm if he had entered the wrong place, but heard someone above him shouting his name: "Ankang! ”

Ankang looked up, and the top of the spiral staircase really showed Liu Xinran's face looking down.

Ankang ran upstairs in a daze, but saw that Liu Xinran's youthful and beautiful outfit in the morning had changed. The hair was draped down, and the small white jacket was taken off to reveal a rather slim black dress inside, the lower body was still the same jeans, and the shoes were replaced by high heels. Even the plain face in the morning was covered with makeup, which was a bit thick.

An Kang was surprised by Liu Xinran's change, and Liu Xinran pulled him through a door. There were also four people standing at the door, but unlike the downstairs, all the people standing upstairs were men.

When I went in through that door, I saw wine, and I saw it, and I saw many people. Liu happily pulled An Kang all the way to the area closest to the DJ, where seven or eight people were sitting. Of these people, Ankang only knows half of them.

"Jessica, is this your boyfriend?" One of the men, in his mid-thirties, stood up and asked Liu Xinran.

"yes." Liu happily replied.

"Oh." The man never greeted Ankang head-on. It seems that standing up is to look Ankang up and down, and after looking at it, he sat down, clinking glasses and chatting with others, it seems that Ankang is an object that Liu Xinran brought with him, and it is still an inconspicuous object, just look at it.

"Yes, he's Ranran's boyfriend. See you now, right? A girl next to the man said lazily with a cocktail glass. This girl is completely dressed as a fashionable girl, with long eyelashes, thick eyeshadow, red lip gloss, and her already curled lips are outlined by the faint fluorescent lip gloss to make it even more sexy and sultry.

She is the most familiar one in this group of people, named Wen Qianqian, Liu Xinran's classmate and best friend. The first half of Ankang and Liu Xinran's event today was arranged by Liu Xinran, and the second half was arranged by this Wen Qianqian.

Ankang and his girlfriend love each other, but they are tired of each other with his girlfriend's best friend.

Ankang didn't have a good face for her, and didn't pay attention to her, and after politely greeting the others, he took a bottle of beer from the table and sat down to drink it by himself.

The atmosphere of the bar was warm, the crowd at the bar was cheerful, but the drink was very restless.

Ankang was not interested in it. Today, I went back to the company and almost ruined my future, although there was no danger in the end, but the threat was always with me. is like a death row prisoner who was put on the execution ground, which was originally a happy execution, but it turned out to be a less pleasant Ling Chi temporarily, and he didn't know when to do it.

Ankang was not in the mood to go clubbing, the reason why he didn't think about it behind closed doors at the company or at home but ran to Huaihai Road was actually to eliminate the guilt of not accompanying Liu Xinran yesterday for the New Year's Eve and not accompanying her for the holiday today.

In addition to the internal and external aspects of the restlessness of well-being. This external uneasiness was caused by Liu Xinran's best friend Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian raised her hand to call a waiter and asked, "I forgot just now." What is our minimum spend here? ”

"Three thousand." The waiter replied politely.

"Oh. 3 thousand. So how much do we consume now? ”

The waiter didn't know, so he went to the backstage and asked, and then came back and told Wen Qianqian: "It's almost 4,000." The minimum spending standard has been met. ”

"Oh. 4,000 bucks. There are 8 of us in total, and one person is 500 yuan? Wen Qianqian finished her calculations, but the waiter didn't pick up.

This waiter has a discerning eye. He had already seen that this girl was settling accounts loudly for everyone to hear, this was the drunkard's intention not to drink.

The waiter can see this situation, can't Ankang see it?

"Okay. I know. Wen Qianqian waved at the waiter. The waiter walked away relieved.

Wen Qianqian sat down and said, "It costs 500 yuan for one person." It's expensive! ”

The man sitting next to her said, "What's expensive?" It's only 4,000 yuan. Wait a minute, everyone don't do it, I should buy today's order. ”

"You pay every time. Fools? In the future, we will have a party, and it is better to have an AA system. Don't you pay, I'll pay. The last time I almost got into a fight to buy a bill, was it interesting? The AA system is the best, fair, just and open. Do you agree? ”

The others were noncommittal, and they all felt that it was not a problem at all.

"It's all out to play, why don't you pay for it? Besides, it's only 4,000 yuan. The man insisted.

Wen Qianqian pulled him and glared at him. The man was chatting with others, and his mind was not on this, but when he saw Wen Qianqian pulling and staring, he reacted, picked up a wine bottle and put it to his mouth but didn't drink it.

It's only 4,000 dollars?! When An Kang heard this, it was like stabbing him in the chest. His internship salary was only half of 4,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan. The shared house he rented in an old community in Lujiazui cost 500 yuan, and he sent 500 yuan to his family every month. It's actually only 1,000 yuan a month. In addition to eating, drinking, and lazing, there are also mobile phone communication bills, water, electricity, gas, and broadband to share these expenses, and he is so poor that he doesn't even have money to go shopping and eat with his girlfriend.

The reason why Wen Qianqian's new game rules of the AA system are brewed today is to carry out precise strikes on Ankang.

Ankang knows that this group of people has the weakest spending power than himself. I've met twice before, and then I've never met with them again. Although most of the expenses do not have to be paid by Ankang, Ankang also knows that owing favors is more uncomfortable than owing debts.

Ankang bowed his head and was silent. When he entered this bar, he realized that today's expenses were expensive, but in order to accompany Liu Xinran, he had to come in. At this time, being sarcastic by this Wen Qianqian's gun and stick, Ankang is really not happy.

Liu Xinran shook his hand and smiled at him.

Liu's smile reassured Ankang, but it also made him sad.

Liu smiled happily, Ankang can be interpreted. That means: don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it.

However, it is this kind of intimacy that makes Ankang sad. It's not so much about a girlfriend, but it's almost like being taken care of by a girlfriend. Every time he spends a small amount of money, Ankang has the final say, and when he has to spend a lot of money, Liu Xinran will take the initiative to come forward.

Ankang's self-esteem is tormented, and at the same time, he feels that his girlfriend's tolerance of him is even more indebted.

Wen Qianqian walked over to the man next to her at this time, stretched out her hand in front of Liu Xinran and said, "Come, pay the money!" ”

"What do you pay now?" Liu said happily.

"Settle the account first while your mind is clear. Wait for fear that you will drink too much and not remember to settle accounts. ”

Wen Qianqian's reasons are irrefutable. Liu Xinran had no choice but to lean over and take out her bag, take out five hundred-yuan bills and hand them to Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian stretched out her hand to Ankang again, and Ankang immediately took out her wallet and paid the money. Wen Qianqian was expressionless and turned her head to collect debts from several others.

Five hundred yuan was sold, and Ankang only felt a heartache. Because he wanted to accompany Liu Xinran for the holiday, Ankang specially withdrew 500 yuan from the bank under the office building on the afternoon of the first day.

I didn't plan to withdraw so much, but I thought it would be troublesome to withdraw the money next time. Unexpectedly, the newly withdrawn money was spent just 24 hours in his arms, and he only drank two bottles of beer after spending 500 yuan.

An Kang really wanted to hold on to those banknotes just now and said to Wen Qianqian: The four thousand yuan was basically spent by you. I'm the latest, and I should only pay 100 yuan if it's an AA system.

But where did he go to reason?
