"My friends don't know my recent situation at all, and they can't help me even if they want to."
In fact, the real reason is that Tao Ran didn't want to reach out to his friends until he was at his lowest point. After all, their family backgrounds were all about the same. If they knew about his current situation, he would probably be laughed at.
"It can be said that it is a relatively difficult period for you now. If those people are really your friends and you recognize them from the bottom of your heart, you will not consider the issue of face or not at all."
Song Lan has the best say on this point. When she first met her best friend, she was very poor and had nothing.
After Tao Ran heard this, although he did not agree with Song Lan's words, he still picked up the beer in front of him and took a sip.
Song Lan knew that tonight's beating was almost done, and when the time came, while they were eating and drinking, He Chaozhi came over.
When he saw He Chaozhi, Tao Ran's eyes changed.
"Tao Ran, why don't you say hello when you see me?"
"Brother He."
Tao Ran reluctantly called him brother, and He Chaozhi let him go.
"Isn't this a welcome party for him? The protagonist left early. Isn't that not good?"
After having enough wine and food, the group was about to leave. Song Lan and He Chaozhi did not join them, but just ate here slowly.
As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, she received a call from Tao Ran.
Originally Tao Ran didn't want to go there, but the other party kept inviting him warmly and said he hadn't seen him for a long time.
If he and Song Lan were alone at this time, he might have already started eating, but now there was another He Chaozhi on the table, and Tao Ran didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of He Chaozhi.
"How could such a good person enter the police station?"
Although Tao Ran never listened to the gossip in the company, it didn't mean that he couldn't see something going on between the two of them.
Tao Ran had already noticed that the relationship between He Chaozhi and Song Lan was unusual.
The last time Tao Ran was arrogant towards two people in the office, he didn't notice the presence of He Chaozhi. This time it was different. Who was He Chaozhi? Looking at this city, everyone knows who he is.
When Tao Ran was about to say something more, Song Lan's order also arrived.
"That should be almost done."
"I remember you were quite outgoing when you were a child, weren't you? I haven't seen you in the past few years. Why are you becoming more and more introverted as you grow older?"
It was a call from another friend of Tao Ran's, saying that there was a game tonight and he was the one who needed it.
"Brother He, I often hear my dad talking about you. You can be said to be the most popular person in the shopping mall, but are you the same emotionally?"
The other party's tone sounded very helpless, as if he had no choice but to do so, and Song Lanwu did not hesitate after hearing what the other party said.
When they heard that the other party was at the police station, He Chaozhi and Song Lan's expressions changed. If they had to eat, they immediately rushed to the other party.
Song Lan was very anxious along the way, fearing that the other party would be in trouble if he arrived late, but He Chaozhi seemed relatively calm.
Just when Tao Ran was struggling, he saw He Chaozhi eating these things generously in front of him, and it was not the first time he had eaten like this.
"Before, like you, he was also full of repulsion towards food from this kind of place, but after eating it once, he is no longer so repellent. It's okay to eat it once in a while. We won't tell your parents."
After saying this, Song Lan and He Chaozhi looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known that Tao Ran would leave early.
"But you said that if we treat Uncle Tao's precious son like this, Uncle Tao won't blame us if he finds out, right?"
"Okay, send me the location."
"Don't worry. If there was really any problem, he wouldn't be the one calling you."
"Where? I can't leave now. I'm eating out."
Tao Ran calculated that it was indeed a long time since the two of them drank together, and he just didn't want to stay here to see He Chaozhi's face.
At this moment, Tao Ran was very conflicted in his heart. This kind of food cannot be eaten. He has his own principles, but he can't bear to be hungry.
After the food was served, Tao Ran looked at the large table of food but did not move his chopsticks.
"Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"
"Only about an hour."
Just when the three of them were enjoying their meal, Tao Ran received a call.
Tao Ran's stomach was already growling with hunger. Although the environment of this place didn't look like much, the smell was delicious.
Among the young people of their generation, He Chaozhi was definitely like someone else's child. Tao Ran had heard many stories about He Chaozhi since he was a child.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about work anymore after work. Let's try it quickly."
Especially since He Chaozhi kept staring at him, he always felt that He Chaozhi had evil intentions.
He Chaozhi looked lovingly at Song Lan who was eating deliciously in front of him. After dispelling the other's worries, Song Lan ate even more deliciously.
"Where are you? Have you gone back? Something happened to me, can you come over?"
"What happened? Where are you now?"
"My friend has a bureau near here, I'll go there first."
When they heard that Tao Ranyao was about to leave, Song Lan and He Chaozhi let him leave without stopping.
"How long has it been since Tao Ran?"
"There's a small problem. It won't be clear for a while on the phone. I'm at the police station now."
"No, I'm here, don't worry."
"Shopping malls are like battlefields. Of course, you need to be decisive in killing. But in this love field, you still need some methods and skills. You are still young now, and you will understand when you grow up."
He Chaozhi said this to Tao Ran on purpose. Tao Ran felt extremely uncomfortable after eating this meal.
It can be said that Song Lan easily understood the psychology of these young boys. After hearing this, Tao Ran ate a big meal without caring about the appearance of his food. He looked like he had been hungry for many meals.
"It doesn't matter, young man, you still have to suffer the consequences."
When it comes to emotional matters, He Chaozhi feels a little guilty, but he can still deal with such a little brat with ease.
But having said that, He Chaozhi still stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. They soon arrived at the police station and saw Tao Ran who was in trouble.
"Tao Ran! What happened to your face? Did you get into a fight?"
Song Lan anxiously ran towards Apple. The anxiety Song Lan showed at this moment could not be faked.
"I'm fine, I just had a little conflict. I didn't want this to bother my dad, so I called you over."
