Chapter 680 The lanterns are on and off, old things
Zhang Wenkai looked Chen Qi up and down carefully, "How come you give me a different feeling now than before?"
Chen Qi smiled and asked, "What's the difference?"
Zhang Wenkai shook his head, "I can't explain it. Anyway, it just feels completely different from the Chen Qi I knew in the past."
In Zhang Wenkai's impression, Chen Qi used to be a bit handsome.
But at first glance, he gives people the image of a taciturn and weak scholar.
But now Chen Qi, although his behavior seems polite, his whole temperament has changed greatly.
While talking and laughing, he revealed a kind of sincere self-confidence, open-mindedness, composure, perseverance, and even a majestic aura possessed by soldiers.
It is this kind of momentum that makes Chen Qi's appearance look several levels higher than before.
At this time, Xiao Zhiming jumped out, "Shit, it's different. In my eyes, Chen Qi is still the same Chen Qi as before, right brother?"
Wang Haodong agreed, "That's right. The four of us used to be blood allies. No matter how things change, we will always be good brothers!"
Zhang Wenkai shrugged, "I'm just talking."
Xiao Zhiming waved his hand, "Okay, everyone, stop standing outside. Let's go inside and drink!"
Afterwards, a few people walked into the [Fairy Couple Pavilion], laughing and joking all the way.
[Xianlu Pavilion] is indeed a famous food and leisure place in Shangjing. The interior is luxuriously decorated, imitating the style of ancient Chinese palaces.
There is also a large artificial lake next to it, with cruise ships scattered around the lake and bright lights. From time to time, you can hear singing and dancing, and birds and birds.
That's right.
The lanterns and shadows of the brocade are blooming, and the lanterns are lingering at night.
A pool of spring water, rouge color, flows into the dream.
The location decided by Xiao Zhiming is on the third floor of [Xianlu Pavilion].
From here, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire lake at night.
However, before entering the door, Xiao Zhiming suddenly stopped and pressed Chen Qi's shoulders with both hands.
"Brother, there is something I may be sorry for you about."
Chen Qi was stunned, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zhiming touched his nose in embarrassment, "Not long ago, I heard that you were coming to [Shanghai]. Aren't you happy at the time, so I yelled in the previous class group and asked who was coming to tonight's party.
.”
"guess what?"
Chen Qi sneered for a moment, "If you want to say it, say it quickly. Don't play riddles with me."
Xiao Zhiming pursed his lips, "Xu Shiwen is here too, and she brought her boyfriend with her."
After hearing this, Chen Qi finally understood why Xiao Zhiming had a troubled expression on his face.
Chen Qi and Xu Shiwen had some misunderstandings in the past. They were just drinking and chatting as brothers tonight, but they called Xu Shiwen over, which was actually a bit disappointing.
Zhang Wenkai shook his head, "Zhi Ming's stuff can be found everywhere, but sometimes when I get excited, I don't know where to go from east to west."
Xiao Zhiming smiled bitterly, "You can't blame me, I just want to call more people and have fun together.
Who knew that Mrs. Xu Shiwen would also come? I can't tell others not to come, right?"
Chen Qi laughed it off and said, "It doesn't matter. There is no quarrel between me and her. Even if she comes, it won't cause any harm."
Wang Haodong nodded, "That's right, when the time comes, let's drink our food and just ignore her."
Hearing Chen Qi's words, Xiao Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief.
He was still worried before that Chen Qi would turn around and leave when he heard that Xu Shiwen was coming to the party tonight.
Now it seems that he thought too much.
Then, Xiao Zhiming led Chen Qi and others inside.
This is a transparent and bright dining hall, with several dining tables scattered here and there. Each table is located near the window and is fully occupied.
In the center of the hall, there is a woman wearing ancient clothes and playing the guzheng, playing passionately.
The whole mood is elegant and unique.
It can be seen that booking a table here must be expensive.
The position of Chen Qi and others is on the east side of the hall. Before Chen Qi and others arrived, there were already seven or eight figures sitting here, including men and women.
At this time, several people were talking about something.
"Why haven't Xiao Zhiming and Zhang Wenkai come back yet?
I'm almost starving to death."
One of the women, wearing gold earrings and dressed like a fashionable urban girl, complained.
Her name is Xie Dongya, and she is currently working as a clerk in a listed company in Shangjing.
"Wait a little longer, they seem to have gone to pick someone up."
"Who to pick up?
Leave so many of us hanging here and just let us sit there?”
One of the men named Jiao Zheng said, "I heard that Chen Qi is coming tonight. He should be picking up Chen Qi, right?"
"Chen Qi?"
Xie Dongya was stunned for a while, "Did we have this person in our previous class?"
Jiao Zheng rolled his eyes, "Yes, he's the one who wrote love letters to Xu Shiwen before."
After what Jiao Zheng said, Xie Dongya suddenly thought, "Oh, oh, is it that 'toad'?"
"Yes, yes, that's him!"
Jiao Zheng replied.
Xie Dongya smiled and patted Jiao Zheng, "Jiao Zheng, you really could have just said 'Toad'. When you mentioned your name, I really didn't remember it."
After saying that, Xie Dongmei looked at Xu Shiwen who was sitting beside her and said jokingly, "Shiwen, do you still remember 'Toad'?"
Xu Shiwen's expression showed a burst of disgust, "You're so good, why are you mentioning him?"
Tonight, Xu Shiwen is wearing a plain white dress, with black hair like a waterfall, beautiful legs like jade, a small waist, and her delicate face, she is indeed a great beauty.
After all, Xu Shiwen used to be a school belle at Beijing University. When she entered the society, her appearance and charm were even better than before.
"I heard he's coming tonight!"
Xie Dongmei raised her eyebrows and said.
Xu Shiwen was a little surprised, "What is he here for?"
"Of course he's here to attend the party. After all, he and Xiao Zhiming were in the same dormitory before, so they should have a good relationship."
At this time, a tall and handsome man next to Xu Shiwen asked with narrowed eyes.
"Shiwen, what are you talking about, what's a 'toad'?"
Xie Dongmei took the initiative to explain, "It was a poor loser who used to pursue poems and essays. At that time, he wrote love letters to poems and essays. The toad wanted to eat swan meat, so we gave him the title of 'Toad'."
Liu Yuanliang raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
"Of course, compared to you, Brother Liang, he is completely different.
You used to be a high-ranking official in the army, and he was just a little-known character."
Xie Dongmei continued to say with a smile.
When Liu Yuanliang heard this, although he felt happy in his heart, he still waved his hands modestly on the surface.
"He's not really a high-ranking official. He's just a small deputy battalion official. Now he's back from the army and starting a small business to barely make ends meet."
Jiao Zheng shook his head, "Brother Liang, you are too humble. You have a big company with a market value of tens of millions. If this is just a small business, shouldn't we beg for food?"
