Arriving at the door of the appointed hotel, Cheng Yu had just stepped up the steps when he heard his cell phone ring.
He took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Xue Changyun. Cheng Yu smiled slightly, thinking that Xue Changyun had arrived and wanted to ask where he was, so he didn't click on the message and walked straight in.
Pushing open the door of the reserved private room, Cheng Yu stepped in, only to find that the person sitting in the private room was not Xue Changyun, but another man.
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, then backed out and looked carefully at the name on the door of the private room. Yes, it was the private room he had reserved.
Except for the man in his early forties, there was no waiter in the private room. Just as Cheng Yu was about to speak, the man stood up awkwardly.
"You are Mr. Cheng..."
Seeing that the other party knew his identity, Cheng Yu understood that this was probably Xue Changyun's friend.
But Cheng Yu was a little strange, because Xue Changyun had always been a very measured person. If he wanted to introduce himself to a friend, he would definitely say hello in advance. Situations like today are really weird.
"Are you...?" Cheng Yu nodded and walked into the private room.
"Oh, Chang Yun didn't tell you, did he? Well, he just told me that he would say hello to you. I am a friend of Chang Yun. I came to Wudong to find someone to do something, but I couldn't find him. Then
I knew that Changyun happened to be in Wudong, so I wanted to have a drink and chat with him. The hotel I booked was right next door, so I wanted to ask Changyun to come to this hotel, but he said it was a coincidence that the same person I made an appointment with was you.
This hotel. Originally, I heard that he had already made an appointment with you, so I said that I would make an appointment with Changyun again after you finish your meal, but he said it didn’t matter and asked me to come directly to the hotel, and said that he would
I’ll call you to communicate.”
Cheng Yu generally understood. Although he was a little surprised why Xue Changyun didn't communicate with him, he was not so unreasonable.
"It's okay, it's okay, I received Lao Xue's WeChat message when I came in..." Cheng Yu said, taking out his phone and quickly clicking on the WeChat message.
——Mr. Cheng, something happened here and I may have to arrive late. I have a friend who happened to be in Wudong, so I asked him to go to the private room first. It’s not convenient to say more now. I’ll explain it to you later.
Cheng Yu shook his phone at the man and said: "Sure enough, he told me that he had something wrong. It was not convenient to say more. He just told me about you. As a result, I didn't read the specific content just now. You
What’s your surname?”
"My surname is Zhuang, Zhuang Yi. Mr. Cheng, I didn't disturb your party with Chang Yun, right?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, he and I just got together casually, just to have a drink. With more than one person, the drink is more comfortable. Don't be so embarrassed. Since we are old Xue's good friends, we
They are all friends."
"Okay." Although he agreed, it could be seen that Zhuang Yi was still a little embarrassed.
After pouring a cup of tea for Cheng Yu, Zhuang Yi lowered his head again. He seemed to be unsociable and didn't know how to talk to Cheng Yu, so the two people in the private room remained awkwardly silent.
Cheng Yu was rescued by a phone ringing.
Cheng Yu took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Xue Changyun.
"Mr. Cheng, have you arrived at the hotel?"
"Well, I just came in and saw your friend."
"That's right, that's what I want to tell you. Didn't we make an appointment? But a friend of mine called me and said that he heard that I was in Wudong, and he happened to..."
"Come on, your friend has already told me the reason."
"Yes, yes, he happens to be staying in the hotel next door, and he also asked me to have an appointment at this hotel. I couldn't refuse, so I thought you wouldn't mind, so I just said let's get together."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I see that your friend seems to be a little embarrassed. He's always been nervous and can't let go."
"That's not true. He is relatively reticent and has such a personality. I'm almost here."
"Okay, let's wait until you arrive and we'll talk. Then I'll ask the waiter to start taking away the dishes!"
"Yes, yes."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu pressed the pager in the private room. The waiter quickly knocked on the door of the private room. Cheng Yu ordered them to take away the food. The waiter quickly walked in with two bottles of red wine.
At this time, Zhuang Yi, who had remained silent, spoke.
He looked a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Cheng, can I have some white wine? I'm not used to drinking red wine."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, but I won't drink for free with you."
"No need to accompany me, no need to accompany me. Changyun and I are the same way. He often drinks red wine and I drink white wine, so we are used to it."
"Then bring in another bottle of Moutai."
Cheng Yu gave an order, and the waiter put down the red wine and turned around to go out.
Halfway through the dishes, Xue Changyun finally arrived late.
Cheng Yu smiled and asked Xue Changyun to take a seat and said, "You are late today and you will be punished!"
"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll give you three drinks as a penalty later."
"Forcing you to drink is not okay. Isn't this taking advantage? As a punishment... um... what should I order as a punishment?" Cheng Yu pretended to ponder.
I have known Cheng Yu for more than a year. How could Xue Changyun not know that although Cheng Yu is one of the rich second generation in Wudong, he always likes to let others pay for him when eating and drinking. This seems to be one of his "little things".
Hobby".
So, Xue Changyun took it without saying a word: "Come on, don't say anything, I understand, I'm here to treat you."
Cheng Yu laughed loudly. Although Xue Changyun hadn't paid the bill yet, the divine system seemed to be giving Xue Changyun face. It made a ding in Cheng Yu's mind, accompanied by a golden number of +37.
"Oh, it's rare that Mr. Cheng invites you. I thought I could finally have a meal with you. Unexpectedly, I have to pay for it in the end." Xue Changyun pretended to be upset and sat down. Because Cheng Yu and Zhuang Yi didn't know each other, so before
When they sat down, the two of them made a tacit understanding to leave a space in the middle, and Xue Changyun naturally took the opportunity to sit between them.
"Who told you to be late and introduce new friends? Why do you have to be the host of this meal?"
Xue Changyun bowed his hands and said, "Sorry, sorry, I don't want to. It's really not far from here, but I didn't expect to receive a call from Lao Zhuang on the way. I remembered the idea, and the traffic police saw me talking on the phone, so they took me out of the car."
I was stopped. I originally wanted to call Mr. Cheng to explain the situation after hanging up the phone, but the traffic policeman looked sullen and gave me a lesson. If I call you again, who will the traffic police designated?
It’s endless. So I can only secretly send you a WeChat message. Isn’t this a delay?”
Cheng Yu laughed loudly and said: "You deserve this. Who told you not to find a driver to drive, but also to wear a Bluetooth headset or something? You, Mr. Xue, will also be disciplined by the traffic police one day, you deserve it!"
"
Xue Changyun smiled bitterly, but Zhuang Yi always lowered his head and said nothing.
After pouring the wine, Xue Changyun took the initiative to raise the glass and said: "Today is a coincidence, Lao Zhuang is also coming to Wudong for business. This is the first time for you two to meet, let's have a drink together."
Zhuang Yi raised the wine dispenser at hand and didn't even pour it into the small wine glass. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry for intruding on your little gathering, Master Cheng. I'll do it first as a courtesy."
After that, Zhuang Yi drank the two taels of Moutai in the wine dispenser in one go.
Cheng Yu couldn't stop him, but he still said: "There's no need, I've already said it. Since we are Lao Xue's friends, we are all friends too. Lao Zhuang, hurry up and eat some food..."
Xue Changyun, however, looked like he was used to it. He laughed and said: "It's okay, don't worry about Lao Zhuang. This is how he drinks. Two ounces of wine is just a deep sip for him."
Cheng Yu and Xue Changyun clinked glasses and each took a sip. The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little more harmonious.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Cheng, I haven't asked you how your father's situation is?" Xue Changyun asked casually after taking a bite of food.
"He's still like that, comatose, and the hospital can't find any problems. I sent his pathology report to some foreign friends and asked them to help find famous doctors, but there was no response. Maybe it's because he has been busy for so many years.
I feel like it’s too hard, so I want to take advantage of this time to take a good rest.”
Xue Changyun sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that Director Cheng would have such a disaster in his life. But don't worry too much, Mr. Cheng. Maybe it's just like what you said. Director Cheng has worked so hard these years."
, I want to take advantage of this time to have a good rest. When he feels he has had enough rest, he will wake up at any time."
Cheng Yu smiled and raised his glass: "It's okay, the situation is there, but other people's lives have to go on. Drink, drink, don't talk about those things."
After drinking a round, Zhuang Yi didn't say a word at all, and he didn't eat much of the food. However, Maotai had already finished half the bottle.
Xue Changyun turned his face and looked at Zhuang Yi and said, "Lao Zhuang, why did you suddenly remember and come to Wudong?" Before Zhuang Yi could answer, Xue Changyun said again: "I haven't given you a detailed introduction yet. Mr. Cheng, where is Lao Zhuang?"
, is engaged in the hotel industry. He has opened more than ten inns in Xixi. I also got to know him because I stayed in his inn. The inn in Laozhuang is really good. If you have the opportunity to go to Xixi, I will take you there.
I personally feel that staying in an inn is better than staying in a big hotel."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile, took a chopstick and put the fish maw into his mouth, and said: "Inn culture has become very popular these years, and I have seen some very well-made inns. I went to Northeast China a few days ago and tried it.
It's indeed good. Lao Zhuang, you came to our Wudong, do you want to open an inn in Wudong?"
Xue Changyun said: "Yes, Lao Zhuang, you came to Wudong to get an inn?"
Zhuang Yi shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with business. I came to Wudong to find someone. But after I came, I heard that the person had committed a crime and was taken away by the police. I went to the police to inquire, but was
He just blocked it and came back. So I heard that you were in Wu Dong, and thinking that you were familiar with Wu Dong on the ground, I wanted to ask you to help me find out what was going on with that person."
Hearing this, Xue Changyun frowned slightly and said: "Since everyone has already committed a crime and been arrested, and the police are still unwilling to disclose the case, it shows that the crime committed by that person is not small. Lao Zhuang, if you can stay away from this kind of people, just stay away. What's going on?
, do you have a good relationship with him?"
"Actually, I don't know him, but I just want to ask him for help with something."
"Hey, I've already gone in, how can I help you anymore?"
"As long as he's not dead, he can help with this kind of thing." Zhuang Yi seemed very confident, which made Cheng Yu and Xue Changyun a little confused.
