Originally, what Qi Tongfei meant was that Zhan Pengfei should sit in the main seat, with Li Yuanlang on his left and Li Yuanlang on his right, and everyone had no objection.

But Zhan Pengfei said: "We are all classmates, and we sit the same wherever we sit, so don't tell them so clearly. I think in this kind of situation, there is no distinction between high and low. Let's just sit as we did in school, from back to front.

Sit next to whomever you want and find your own seat."

His original intention was very novel, but it went against Qi Tongfei's idea. In this way, Zhan Pengfei and Li Yuanlang, especially Li Yuanlang, would not be sitting in a conspicuous position in the middle.

Because these two students were top students at the beginning, they were arranged by the teacher to sit at the first and second tables in the front row. On the contrary, the poor students sat at the back. It didn't matter whether they could listen or not, and the teacher didn't want to get a copy from them.

Enrollment rate.

The most critical point is that Li Yuanlang and Zhan Pengfei will sit near the door, and they can't reach each other, so everything will be messed up.

Fortunately, Li Yuanlang didn't have any objection. Instead, he walked over with a smile and asked the female classmates around him to verify who he sat at the same table with when he was in school. If his deskmate was not there, he sat down with the nearest person with a smile on his face.

I very much agree with Zhan Pengfei’s ingenious method.

Zhan Pengfei also sat down. There were two female classmates between him and Li Yuanlang. Not to mention, there was a very interesting phenomenon in this arrangement, that is, every boy had at least one girl sitting next to him.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuanlang couldn't help but said: "Pengfei has more ideas. Working together with men and women is not tiring, and drinking is equally meaningful. Originally, our class was full of yin and yang. I remember when I was in school, there seemed to be ten fewer boys than girls.

."

"It's not ten, to be exact, it's twelve." The person who answered the question was a female classmate, whose name Li Yuanlang couldn't remember. His vague impression of her was that she seemed to have a big face when she was in school. How come she has a pointed face now?

Could it be that a knife was used on the lower jaw?

Seeing that everyone was seated, Qi Tongfei had no choice but to let it go. As the convener and the boss, it was natural that he initiated the opening remarks.

Qi Tongfei stood up and held a glass of white wine and said: "Today I propose that everyone here, regardless of gender, drink the first glass of white wine and finish it to show that our classmates' friendship will last forever."

"Okay, I think it works." A boy immediately responded in agreement.

So everyone followed suit, even a few girls slapped the table and said: "Female compatriots, don't let the boys shock us, just drink. Who is afraid of whom? The worst is to drink."

If there are too many, let your husband carry them back."

Then some boys joked: "If our husbands don't carry us, it's our responsibility to carry them back."

"Just carry it, just don't let your wife find out."

Hahaha……

Seeing the lively scene of the classmates laughing and laughing, the dark clouds in Li Yuanlang's mind were blown away instantly. He felt that Zhan Pengfei's proposal was very good. It was different from the last time at the class reunion. If you mix well at the same table, you can mix poorly.

In the table where the students are doing well, the ones who are doing well are called the focus of the audience. They are subject to all kinds of boring compliments. The originally clear and clear friendship between classmates has become vulgar and flattering. The world is cold and smoky.

It will lose its flavor.

It seems that he will also learn this in the future, so that other classmates can learn from it and change the current social atmosphere, which is very realistic, and don't bring it to the friendship between classmates to pollute the atmosphere.

As a result, everyone stood up together and drank the first glass of liquor at the same time amid the sound of electric shock.

Even though the girls next to Li Yuanlang were more or less complimentary and flattering to him, the feeling was much lighter than that time. Li Yuanlang didn't take it seriously and had a drink with these two female classmates alone.

He knew his drinking capacity well. Even if he drank ten or eight glasses of this half-liter small wine glass, he would feel as if he had not drank at all. There would be no problem in talking and laughing.

After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere of the dinner was quite good and everyone was enjoying themselves, especially Zhan Pengfei, who was somewhat tongue-tied and slightly tipsy.

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses walked in, followed by a male waiter pushing a cart with four silver plates placed on it.

Cover it with a lid, I don't know what's inside.

"Mr. Cao!" Qi Tongfei was so shocked that he trotted over, rubbing his hands and smiling: "Mr. Cao, I condescend to your honor. This is..."

Mr. Cao, Li Yuanlang felt that this person looked familiar, so he remembered that this person was the hotel's General Manager Cao, whom he had met once before.

"Tong Fei, I heard that you are entertaining your classmates here, so I specially prepared the four most distinctive dishes in our store to represent our hotel's feelings."

Qi Tongfei was flattered. He didn't expect that General Manager Cao, who usually couldn't curry favor with him, would be so helpful. For the sake of the face of a small deputy manager of a department, he would personally serve him a dish.

Qi Tongfei was so moved that he didn't know how to express his gratitude. He could only rub his hands together, almost rubbing the mud off.

But his excitement didn't last for five seconds, and Mr. Cao's next words immediately made him fall into the ice cellar, and his heart was so cold that he felt his soles of feet were completely chilled.

"I heard that you have a classmate. I mainly want to get to know him. Please introduce him to me." As he spoke, Mr. Cao glanced around at the faces of everyone present, and finally landed on one person's face, and walked quickly

Walk towards that person.

At first, Zhan Pengfei didn't take it seriously. He seemed surprised when Mr. Cao looked at him, and he walked away in the direction towards him. Zhan Pengfei was still wondering, as he had left his hometown more than ten years ago.

I didn’t have many friends here except my classmates.

Besides, he is a foreigner and has little influence in Guangnan City. Why is Mr. Cao so polite and caring to him?

No matter how you say it, you can't help but give face to someone who is a landlord. Many friends mean many paths.

Zhan Pengfei was already ready, even slightly crouching, ready to shake hands with Mr. Cao.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cao walked to him and walked over, walked a few steps inside, and finally stopped next to a person, reached out his hand and said with a smile: "Are you Secretary Li? Hello, I am the general manager of our store.

Cao Jie, welcome to dine here, this is my business card."

Yes, the person Cao Jie valued was Li Yuanlang, which surprised Zhan Pengfei, but the other students present did not show any puzzled expressions.

Isn't that right? He even knows the secretary and secretary of the municipal party committee. Even though he is just a township secretary, he must have a lot of energy. Naturally, Qi Tongfei is included in this list.

He hurried over to introduce Cao Jie's identity to Li Yuanlang, and Li Yuanlang shook hands with Cao Jie politely. Cao Jie waved his hand, and the waiter behind him pushed the trolley over. Cao Jie said with a smile: "These are the four best dishes in our restaurant.

, please taste it to Secretary Li and everyone here, if there is any lack of care, please don’t take offense to Secretary Li.”

They were all polite words on the scene, and Li Yuanlang also responded with the words on the scene.

With a signal from Cao Jie, the waiter in charge of this private room came over immediately, opened the lids on the four silver plates, and then brought them to the table one by one.

Well, these four dishes are not ordinary dishes, braised shark fin and lobster with abalone sauce, braised sea cucumber with lark mushrooms, purple sand Buddha jumping over the wall and braised chicken with wild ginseng.

These four dishes are all top-notch in terms of appearance, flavor and taste. The most important thing is that they are very expensive. All four dishes are as good as the whole table. The tribute dishes are clearly meant to please Chi Guoguo, or to please a township cadre.

Zhan Pengfei was puzzled, so he asked a female classmate next to him, where did Li Yuanlang come from?

It happened that this female classmate came to the last party, but went home early after dinner. She did not participate in the subsequent karaoke activities. She only heard some rumors, and they had already faded in her ears. She heard that

What's strange is that Li Yuanlang seems to know someone here, maybe it's Mr. Cao, and he can sing for free.

"Oh, that's it." Zhan Pengfei didn't feel surprised at all. He just knew the general manager of the hotel. It was normal to give him four exquisite dishes as a favor, and Zhan Pengfei didn't take it seriously.

Cao Jie was so shrewd that he saw that everything he had to do was done. Li Yuanlang must have known his intention, so he took his leave at the right time and asked everyone to enjoy the meal.

After such an episode, everyone looked at Li Yuanlang even more highly. It was inevitable that some people came over to propose a toast, and Li Yuanlang responded with a smile one by one.

After going back and forth, Li Yuanlang drank a lot. After drinking too much liquor, his stomach became bloated, so he wanted to go out for convenience.

There was a bathroom in the private room, but he went there in full view of everyone. Li Yuanlang was a little embarrassed, so he took an opportunity to walk out of the private room and went straight to the public bathroom.

He finished relieving himself quickly, put on his pants and was about to go out when he heard a voice next door. It sounded very familiar to him. It was Zhan Pengfei talking on his cell phone.

"Hey, I'm having dinner with my classmates. How are you? Is your stomachache feeling better?"

This was Zhan Pengfei's voice. From the tone, he should be talking to his wife. Li Yuanlang was not in the mood to listen to the couple's sweet talk. He was about to open the door and leave when he heard Zhan Pengfei say: "Miss me? I miss you too."

Remember to put on more clothes when it’s cold. The wind in the countryside is strong. Pay attention to skin care. I’ll feel bad if I blow you off. Yimeng, how are you and your husband talking about it? What, he still doesn’t agree to divorce? Are you so separated?

It’s been a long time since we’ve lost our relationship as husband and wife, why are you still pestering you? Why don’t I find a few friends to teach him a lesson?”

No, it didn't sound like he was talking to his wife, the other party had a husband. Li Yuanlang couldn't help being curious, so he leaned against the fender without moving. It wasn't that he wanted to hear Zhan Pengfei's private words, but he was worried that if

Going out at this time will inevitably attract Zhan Pengfei's attention, how embarrassing that would be.

"Okay, for your reputation and your career, this dead marriage must be maintained. I understand you, who understands me. Yimeng, we have been together for almost ten years, and I have never gotten married just because

Waiting for you. I’m not young anymore, and my parents keep urging me. If I keep waiting like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for long.”

There was another moment of silence, and then Zhan Pengfei's voice came: "Okay, let's talk when I get back. Hey, what did you say, tell me to be careful, who are you being careful about?"

Finally, I heard Zhan Pengfei say angrily: "It doesn't matter that he is the deputy mayor. I didn't offend him or break the law, so I'm afraid of what he will do."

After hearing various closing sounds next door, Li Yuanlang walked out as Zhan Pengfei's footsteps left.

He thought it was dangerous, what would happen if Zhan Pengfei found out that he was stealing. The key point is that he didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it was just a helpless move.

After waiting for a while, Li Yuanlang slowly walked out and washed his hands, and then walked to the private room confidently and boldly.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, a man suddenly appeared in front of him and was arguing with Zhan Pengfei. The man's face turned red and he looked unhappy. No, Zhan Pengfei was in trouble!
