Chapter 20 You can’t afford a bottle of wine with your salary
"Xiao Lin, come and sit."
Gu Hongtao was lukewarm towards Lin Chen, but Gu Yuexi's mother Bai Qian was quite enthusiastic towards Lin Chen, with a gentle smile on her face that was quite cordial.
Lin Chen naturally sat next to Gu Yuexi. Wu Jiajun originally wanted to sit next to Gu Yuexi, but Wu An pulled him and sat opposite Lin Chen.
The food was sumptuous and the wine was good. It had been stored for thirty years and was brought by the Wu family and his son.
Gu Hongtao opened the wine and said with a smile: "It's rare for it to be preserved so well after thirty years."
Wu An said with a smile: "A friend of mine is in the wine business. He has a big wine cellar in his home. Every year he stores a lot of good wine in it. Last time I went to his place, I bought two boxes. If the old man
Since you're used to drinking, I'll get you some more later."
Gu Hongtao smiled and said: "If you can't get used to drinking such good wine, then what kind of wine should you drink?"
Wu An smiled heartily and said, "Okay, I'll get you a few boxes later."
Four men, each with a glass, about two taels, a bottle of liquor was gone.
Wu Jiajun handed a glass of wine to Lin Chen and asked casually: "I heard that Lin Chen was in the army before?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."
Wu Jiajun smiled and said: "What military branch is it?"
"army."
Lin Chen didn't wait for Wu Jiajun to continue asking, and said with a smile: "Just an ordinary soldier, he will retire when his time is up."
Wu Jiajun said with a smile: "You have been a soldier for a few years and you have retired. It is a waste of time. After all, you only get a few thousand yuan a month as a soldier. You can't even buy such a bottle of wine. After you retire, there will be no distribution."
At work, the skills learned in the army are not useful in the city. Many veterans can only work as security guards, earning three to four thousand yuan a month..."
This is a mockery.
Lin Chen secretly laughed in his heart, this Wu Jiajun couldn't keep his composure at all. He didn't drink a sip of wine or eat a morsel of food, so he couldn't wait to start trampling on himself overtly and covertly.
Doesn't this paragraph just show that my income is low, that I have no ability, and that I have no other use than being a security guard?
Lin Chen smiled, with a natural expression, without the slightest embarrassment of being ridiculed: "Yes, I came to Pingjiang, and I still don't know where to find a job."
Wu Jiajun's eyes lit up and he looked enthusiastic: "Do you have any professional skills?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "I know how to do it. There is no need for these jobs."
Wu Jiajun agreed: "Isn't that right? You say your marksmanship is accurate, your training scores are good, and you drive tanks well, what's the use in society?"
Lin Chen echoed: "That's right!"
Gu Yuexi felt a little unhappy when she heard Lin Chen agreeing so much. How could you let this guy pretend to be cool?
He has reduced you to nothing, isn't that a disguised way of saying that I have low standards?
If his father thought this way, wouldn't he force himself to be with Wu Jiajun even more?
Gu Yuexi raised her foot, stepped on Lin Chen's foot, gave him a gentle and warning look, and then cut off her words and said: "Lin Chen's medical skills are very good. Grandpa's disease is even worse than that of one of the four famous doctors."
Even Wen Yu'an was not cured, but it was Lin Chen's intervention that saved my grandfather from danger. I think that if Lin Chen opens a medical clinic in the future, he will definitely become famous and become a famous miracle doctor. By then, all the powerful people will come.
Please ask Lin Chen for treatment."
Gu Hongtao said, "Don't Xiao Lin have a medical qualification certificate?"
Gu Yuexi smiled and said: "Just take one test. Lin Chen's medical skills are so good. Isn't it just a piece of cake to get a certificate?"
Gu Hongtao didn't want to be too obvious, so he immediately picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Here, let's all have a drink."
At the beginning of the meal, Gu Hongtao wanted to praise Wu Jiajun, so he deliberately asked Wu Jiajun what he was busy with recently. Wu Jiajun took advantage of the situation and talked about the business he was responsible for recently, talking about it with excitement and boasting.
Lin Chen buried his head in eating the food without saying a word or making a toast. When someone asked him to drink, he raised his glass, put down the wine glass and continued eating. It was very natural.
This scene fell into Gu Yuexi's eyes, and she immediately felt angry. I know you have no ability, but you struggled a little bit and surrendered so directly. How shameful for me.
Even if it's just bragging, it's better to say it than to remain silent.
So angry!
In the blink of an eye, two bottles of liquor were finished, and everyone drank almost half a catty. Wu Jiajun boasted for a long time, looked at Gu Yuexi, and seemed to focus on Lin Chen, picking up food for him, pouring him wine, and couldn't help but feel even more excited.
I was jealous and decided not to pretend anymore.
"Lin Chen, I don't know if I should say something or not..."
Lin Chen smiled: "Since you are not sure, then let's not talk about it."
ah?
Wu Jiajun opened his mouth wide, his expression dull for a moment.
I'll go, shouldn't you just follow my words and say something like, "Just tell me, it'll be fine"?
How can I answer this?
Wu Jiajun was embarrassed for two seconds and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a heartfelt comment. Don't blame me for being a little talkative. In fact, it's for your own good. I just think you and Xiaoxi are not suitable..."
Lin Chen smiled: "I think it's quite appropriate. I like her and she likes me. Isn't that enough, right, Yueyue?"
You finally gave it a try!
Gu Yuexi gave Lin Chen a thumbs up in her heart and took over the conversation: "Yes, love is a matter between two people. I love him and he loves me. Nothing else matters."
Wu Jiajun felt like someone had stabbed him hard in the chest. It was bloody, uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"But love is not everything in life. Life is firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. It is not like the love in the novels. Life requires money, a lot of money."
Wu Jiajun looked at Lin Chen with sympathy and pity on his face: "Xiao Xi has lived a privileged life since she was a child. Her daily expenses are not small. Can you afford it? Buying clothes, cosmetics, bags, not to mention many, she is alone.
I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy a bag even if you save for a year..."
