Although the borrowed books were all in English, a group of graduate students had no choice but to read them for the sake of face.
Time disappeared unconsciously.
After an unknown amount of time, someone's cell phone rang among the twelve people, and then everyone else's cell phones rang too.
When everyone picked up their mobile phones in unison and looked at it, they realized that Wu Jingchen had sent a group text message and agreed on a meeting place.
A group of young men hurried back to the dormitory to change their clothes. When they arrived at the meeting place, they found classmate Zhou Yan, who was not very gregarious, already waiting there.
Of course, what really surprised everyone was that besides Wu Jingchen, there was another teacher near the gathering place.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Sun Qin, the leading teacher of the core engine part of the aviation engine overall design major."
"Hello teacher!"
"The days are long, so there's no need to be so polite!" Sun Qin clapped his hands, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off. Zhou Yan, you should be driving."
Although Sun Qin and Wu Jingchen's cars were Volkswagen SUVs, they could only accommodate ten people. The remaining four were all stuffed into Zhou Yan's sheepskin card...
"Zhou Yan, the interior of your pickup truck looks very good!" It was Qiu Wenjun who spoke.
"Okay!"
"Is it okay?" Zhang Zhongchun said with a face full of teasing, "Zhou Yan, this Dodge pickup truck must be imported, right?"
"Okay……"
The banquet venue Wu Jingchen booked was Qiao Jiangnan, a relatively popular Chinese restaurant brand. Although he had reserved the place a day in advance, when a group of people arrived, they still had to wait for a while before they were able to enter the private room.
People are famous for their rights and wrongs, and stores are famous for their rights and wrongs.
As soon as a group of people sat down, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the private room.
"Please come in!"
The waitress in a Tang suit walked into the private room with an apologetic look on her face: "Everyone, I'm very sorry. The private room resources in the store are tight. Can you please go to the lobby to dine, and we can get a discount..."
Wu Jingchen's face suddenly darkened: I finally had a treat, but before I even ordered, someone started to make trouble?
The natives in the capital have a good reputation. Although Wu Jingchen is not a local, he has been affected by it after living in the capital for so long: "Waiter, I booked a private room one day in advance, and there are so many of us, how do you want us to go to the lobby?"
"I'm really sorry..."
The waiter was sweating and exited the private room. But not long after, the door of the private room was knocked again...
"Everyone, I'm really sorry..."
The waiter failed to win, so the lobbyist was upgraded and became the foreman...
Wu Jingchen's face was full of anger. Just when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Sun Qin who was standing beside him: "Jingchen, since it's inconvenient for me, let's find another place..."
In order to accommodate the dozen or so people in the next row, Qiao Jiangnan's waiter had to move several tables together.
Take a seat again and continue ordering.
Although everyone pretended not to care, their eyes still glanced at the private room just now, wanting to know who asked everyone to move from the private room to the lobby.
The real owner soon appeared, a well-dressed and successful man.
"Sir, please come this way!"
"Are all the private rooms free? Could you please clean them again..." After saying that, the successful man entered the private room.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you order quickly? Zhou Yan, you come first..."
With that said, Sun Qin handed the menu to Zhou Yan.
Chef Zhou glanced at the beautifully presented menu, opened it, glanced at it casually, and looked back at the waiter standing by: "You are known as a boutique Sichuan restaurant here, can you make boiled cabbage and hibiscus fish fillets?
"
The waiter was confused by the question.
As soon as Zhou Yan saw the driver, he knew what the so-called fine Sichuan restaurant was like: "Then let's have some boiled pork slices!"
After ordering, Zhou Yan passed the menu to Zhang Zhongchun on his right...
Here, a table of dishes had just been ordered, and the successful people that everyone was "paying attention to" also walked out of the private room and faced the group of people opposite. The leader was an introverted middle-aged man...
"Chang Chu, please come this way..."
It turns out he was an official.
If the people do not fight with the officials, a group of people will soon feel relieved.
The service speed of the restaurant is not slow, and the quality of the food is not bad, but the quantity of food is a bit impressive...
"Today, I am driving and cannot drink. Today I will drink tea instead of wine. First of all, on behalf of our boss Liu, I would like to welcome everyone..."
Boss Liu?
Everyone is confused.
"When you are a graduate student, you will be paid for doing projects, and Professor Liu is our boss..." Sun Qin, who was holding tea, looked at a group of young newcomers with a smile, "You guys, drink liquor and stretch yourself.
Just measure it, feel free to..."
Wine can bring people closer together.
After the third round, the young people who were still very reserved in the morning quickly became familiar with each other. Even some of the more solitary people in the team had a bit of blush on their faces...
Wine can also relieve sorrow.
Although he only drank tea, Wu Jingchen was quickly infected by a group of young people.
However, just when Wu Jingchen temporarily ignored the embarrassment of being squeezed out of the private room, the middle-aged man who had just been invited walked out of the private room holding a wine glass...
Is it over yet?
Wu Jingchen was about to have a seizure, but found that the middle-aged man's face was full of flattery, and the target seemed to be someone sitting there...
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to see you here again!"
Zhou Yan, who has a good memory, can naturally remember that this is the director of a certain government department in Haiding District, and he showed up at the ceremony when the foundation stone of Xinghan Group's industrial park was laid.
"Who are you……"
"Two years ago, the foundation laying ceremony of Xinghan Industrial Park..."
"Oh..." Zhou Yan suddenly understood and stood up with tea, "Director Chang..."
"Please take a seat..." Director Chang looked at the people sitting there with a smile. But when he found that the tables for a group of people were put together, the smile on his face froze slightly, and a few drops of sweat broke out on his forehead.
beads......
Seeing this, Zhou Yan smiled slightly: "I'm driving today, so I can only drink tea instead of wine..."
After drinking "one cup", Chang Chang returned to the private room in a very knowledgeable manner.
After having had enough wine and food, a group of people got up and prepared to leave. The door of the box not far away also opened.
Director Chang's face is still full of news, while the successful man who invited us has a lingering shadow between his brows: "Director Chang, look back..."
"No need," Director Chang seemed to avoid it, "Let's just have a meal in private. Don't keep thinking about those crooked things..."
Zhang Zhongchun, who was sitting next to Zhou Yan, gently pushed Zhou Yan and used his eyes to signal Zhou Yan to look at the successful person opposite.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan pretended to be dumbfounded.
"You're pretending to be stupid with me, right?" Zhang Zhongchun, who was still not drunk after drinking a bottle of liquor, gave Zhou Yan a roll of his eyes, "Don't think I don't know..."
After seeing off Director Chang, the successful man realized that someone was watching him secretly. He looked around and found Zhou Yan and others who were watching the excitement.
"What are you looking at?!" Successful people always feel that the group of young students who look like students across from them are laughing at them, and they can't help but get angry, "What's there to see?"
Zhou Yan immediately attacked him: "You look so angry, it's really funny!"
"You..." the successful person opposite said, "Does this have anything to do with you?!"
