"Sir?"

Seeing Li Qing looking away, the girl anxiously pulled Li Qing's sleeve.

This action is very taboo, but after learning that the transcendent world really exists, Li Qing's vision and thoughts have changed a lot between silence, instead of blaming, he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "If you think I can afford the price you want, then sit down and talk." ”

A flash of joy flashed in the girl's brown eyes, and the corners of her mouth that were tense and tense because of nervousness were also relieved, she sat down in the position pointed by Li Qing, and said, "My name is Zhou Qimei, you can call me Meimei, I am very cheap, two yuan, no, one yuan octagonal an hour, what do you think?" ”

Li Qing nodded, this price is indeed fair for a fledgling girl like her, and he didn't delve into the name reported by the other party, girls in this line of work usually have a higher-grade stage name.

Seeing that Li Qing agreed, Zhou Qimei quickly lowered her voice, leaned closer, and said, "I'll only give you a discount, if someone asks, you will say that I charge two yuan an hour, okay?" ”

There are rules in one line, and it is obvious that the rules of their line are not allowed to fight price wars.

Li Qing also nodded, he ordered a glass of star anise mixed wine for Zhou Qimei and refilled a glass of his cheap ale, and chatted with Zhou Qimei to pass the time.

"My mom said that my dad was an adventurer from the north, and as for my mom, she died, and the words she said before she died." Zhou Qimei said briefly without a little emotion, and even had some cold humor, it was obvious that she had long been numb to the problem of her parents and life experience.

"Adventurer?" This word sounds different to Li Qing today.

Zhou Qimei smiled slyly and said, "Answering this question belongs to special services, and you have to calculate the money separately." She raised her hand and said yes, meaning to add two yuan.

"Can't this be discounted?" As soon as the corners of Li Qing's eyes twitched, he should have thought of how a girl who was mixed up in such a place could not have bad intentions.

At this time, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from the side:

"Li Qing?"

Li Qing and Zhou Qimei turned their heads to look at each other, and saw a young man leaning on the bar with half of his body, dressed in a casual suit, very dignified, it was the "male protagonist" in the group of men and women who had just come in.

"Thank you...... Triumphant? Li Qing wasn't sure, he thought this person was a little familiar, suspected to be a classmate of his former junior high school.

"It's me, I didn't expect to meet here." Xie Kai seemed to be very happy, and sighed continuously, he glanced at Li Qing's wine glass, and suddenly frowned: "Why do you drink this?" He beckoned to the bartender, "Bring the wine list," and then turned to Li Qing, and said in a big way, "Whatever you want, the money spent tonight will be on my head." ”

Li Qing smiled, when he was in elementary school, he and Xie Kai had very little communication, and the relationship between them was very ordinary, even a little ugly, and when they met after many years, the other party didn't have to spend so much money at all.

"No need, it's good to drink this," Li Qing pointed to the group of men and women not far away, "Those are your colleagues?" ”

Xie Kai only thought that Li Qing was saving face, and he didn't break it, nodded, handed over a business card, and said with a smile: "Yes, I graduated from Fuyong Mechanical College, entered a large factory, and just took up my new post a while ago." Finally, he glanced over there again, pointed to one of the most beautiful girls, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "These people want to introduce me to someone, saying that it is the daughter of the owner of a small workshop, do you say that it is annoying?" ”

Li Qing took the business card and glanced at it, which stated Xie Kai's identity - the deputy director of the technical department of Zhongxin Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in Ningpu, according to Xie Kai's age, sitting in this position, he can be regarded as young and promising.

"Then I'll congratulate you first."

"Forget it, don't talk about me, what about you? What have you been doing lately? Got an object? Xie Kai glanced at Zhou Qimei and asked.

Li Qing shook his head.

"Broke up?"

Li Qing was noncommittal.

"Just like when you were in elementary school, you dumped people?" Xie Kai smiled, unable to tell what this smile meant.

This sentence brought Li Qing's thoughts back to the past, his eyes couldn't help but darken, and he said, "Are you still in elementary school?" Where can any girl look up to me now? ”

Xie Kai glanced at Zhou Qimei again at this time, showed an expression of "sure enough", patted Li Qing's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, it's fate that hasn't arrived." The meaning of ridicule in it, if you don't understand the inside story, you can't hear it at all.

The two began to talk about other things, Xie Kai showed off mostly, while Li Qing recalled some past events, listened quietly, and smiled or nodded from time to time.

Zhou Qimei is also happy to accompany her, anyway, she is charged by the hour.

At this moment, Houhai No. 6 was already full of guests, and the hustle and bustle and heat were the main themes here, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and three security officers in black police uniforms and blue collar badges walked in.

They followed Sheriff Hou Jianli, who looked to be in his early forties, with a beard and three V's on his collar badge, to the bar, and first prostituted three glasses of wine at a high price, and then took out a portrait and began to make routine inquiries.

The inquiry was short-lived, and it was expected that there was no gain, and this time was far from enough to finish the wine, the three security guards leaned on the bar, cursing their bosses while drinking, until Hou Jianli saw Li Qing, and the scolding stopped.

"Li Qing, the money you borrowed from my cousin, is it time to pay interest this month?" Hou Jianli put down his wine, walked up to Li Qing and Xie Kai, and asked loudly.

This is the code word agreed between him and Li Qing, and the real meaning is that he wants Li Qing to inquire about the information of any criminal, so that he can make a deal.

Xie Kai didn't know about the secret words, and when he heard this, he thought that Li Qing really owed a debt to these security guards who ate people and didn't spit out bones, and his face suddenly showed a playful look.

Li Qing was now focused on the Transcendental, Trial Realm, and Bronze Book, and he had no intention of doing this, so he said, "Now I can't come up with so much money, let's hold off for a while." ”

Hou Jianli frowned, but since Li Qing was unwilling to make this money, he didn't bother much, after all, there were still a lot of people who were willing to do this business.

"If you have money, remember to give it back to me first." Hou Jianli snorted coldly, tapped his finger on Li Qing's chest, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then walked out of the bar with two of his subordinates.

"You owe a lot of money?" After Hou Jianli left, Xie Kai asked with concern.

Li Qing shook his head this time and said with a smile: "No, you think too much." ”

Xie Kai only thought that Li Qing was holding on, and said: "It's okay, if you have difficulties, you can come to Liulang Street at any time to find me, Puhua Apartment, you can find it with a little inquiry, or go directly to my company to find me, by the way, you should still live in the old alley, right?" ”

Puhua Apartment, a gathering place for elite talents built by Ningpu in the early years, the residents there basically represent the upper class of the younger generation in Ningpu, while the old hutongs are dirty, chaotic and poor.

"Well, I didn't move."

Xie Kai let out an "oh", smiled "apologetically" at Li Qing, and said, "It's not going to be a problem without me over there, I'll go over first, and I'll contact you often in the future." ”

Li Qing let out a soft "um", and after Xie Kai walked away, he silently poured a large sip of cheap ale.

"Feeling sick?" Zhou Qimei, who has been a bystander, spoke at the right time, "If you are not happy, you will go back, why are you here to endure it so much?" ”

I don't know if it was because he drank too quickly or for other reasons, Li Qing's eyes were dyed red, and he waved his hand without explaining anything.

Zhou Qimei pursed her lips, Li Qing was not interested in talking, and she happened to be "fishing" openly.

Compared with the dullness on Li Qing's side, Xie Kai's side, after the main owner came back, the laughter and laughter rose wave after wave, and it seemed to have become the most lively place in Houhai No. 6.

In the midst of this sound, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, his lips were thick, his bearing was calm, his hair was white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obvious.

"Mr. Qin? I didn't expect to wait for him. ”

Xie Kai has actually been paying attention to the guests coming and going in the bar, and a large part of the reason why he can come here today is that he heard the gossip that Qin Yang likes to come here for recreation, and he wondered if he could be familiar with it in front of the big leaders.

took a sip, in response to the toast of his subordinates, Xie Kai put down his wine glass, dressed up, and was about to get up and go to the bar, so that he could have a "chance encounter" with Qin Yang, but the next moment, halfway through his body, the hand that straightened the button froze on his chest, and his eyes were staring at the two figures in front of the bar.

The owners of these two figures are naturally Li Qing and Qin Yanghao.

"Long time no see!"

The acquaintance of the two started from a business that Li Qing received, Li Qing helped Qin Yanghao find a lost pocket watch, this pocket watch is of great significance to Qin Yang, and I heard the latter say in person that Li Qing found the pocket watch, which is equivalent to saving his life.

"Thank you, what's wrong?"

After coming back just now, Xie Kai told everyone about the old classmates he had just met, and made a few jokes about Li Qing as the material, which made everyone feel that Xie was a humorous and approachable leader.

"Huh? Thank you, the person opposite your classmate looks a bit like our President Qin? A sharp-eyed colleague saw a clue and asked in a low voice.

"I've heard people say that Mr. Qin also likes to come here, you say that, it's a bit similar, can't it be true?" Another colleague chimed in, "It's worthy of being a classmate of Xie Chu, this is called 'talking and laughing are all in Confucianism, and there is no white ding', it can't be compared, it really can't be compared." ”

Xie Kai sat down slowly, and relied on laughter and wine to cover up the gaffe just now, but the fingers that clenched the wine glass to the point of turning white betrayed his heart.

Li Qing and Qin Yang are good, how is it possible?
