"Aren't the four major families called by the common people? It's originally out of respect for these families, but if you treat yourself as a powerful person and act recklessly, you will soon be reviled by the common people and become the laughing stock of others."
The old man's words were very low, and his back was turned to the three of them so that his expression could not be seen, but one could imagine from his tone that he was in a very heavy mood.
Zhang Yang understood the meaning of his words. He had met three of the four major families. Except for Zheng Binhao, Song Yehan was very scheming, hypocritical and insidious.
Ling Qiule, on the other hand, is a complete playboy, how can he be respected by others? What's more, others just despise and ridicule them.
"Zhang Yang, I want to go back." Ye Wenqian interrupted the conversation between the two and said suddenly.
"Let's go before we finish eating?"
"No, I want to go back and relax for a while." Ye Wenqian made no secret of her chaotic thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
Zhang Yang knew how she was feeling at the moment. Song Yehan's sudden appearance made her conflicted and entangled. She would not be happy if she continued to stay, so she proposed to leave.
"Um."
After Ye Wenqian hummed slightly, she turned her head and said to the old man: "Old man, we are going back first. Today's meal does not count. We will treat you to dinner another day after Zhang Yang comes back."
Although he was tangled in his heart, the sentence "we" explained the relationship between himself and Zhang Yang, which made him sound extremely moved.
"Go back, my old man will stay here for a while."
"I'll pay the bill. You can just leave after you finish your meal."
Zhang Yang knew that this meal was very simple, but the price must be ridiculously high. Since he had previously stated that he was treating the guests, he could not let this shabby old man pay for it.
"No need, my old man can still afford this meal." The old man still didn't look back, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
…
Zhang Yang did not continue to be polite to him, and took Ye Wenqian out of the private room and went directly to the bar in the lobby to pay.
"Hello you two, I am the manager of this club. Is there anything else you need to give me?"
In front of the bar, in addition to several tall and pretty beauties, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. After seeing the two of them, he came out and said with a smile.
"No instructions, just swipe your card to pay."
Zhang Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself that this club was different. Even the manager came out to work? It was too low-priced.
"Are you here with Mr. Mai?" The manager looked at the corridor behind them and asked curiously.
"Yes, Not Bad."
"Has Mr. Mai finished eating? Why isn't he with you?"
After the manager asked, he paused and continued to explain: "I just went out for a while and just came back. I was about to go in and toast Mai Lao with a glass of wine."
Both Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang were confused by what he said, whether it was a question or an explanation.
After pondering for a moment, I realized that the old man just now seemed to know the manager, and that was why he talked about Mr. Mai and showed such respect.
"He's still inside, you can go in and toast."
Zhang Yang smiled and continued: "But you settle the bill first, we have something urgent to go back to."
"No, no, we're exempt from the bill this time, just consider it my treat."
"Really?" Zhang Yang was very surprised by the manager's words. Of course, he didn't care about the money, but was curious.
Is it possible that the old man is so familiar with this manager? But the old man's behavior just now clearly showed that this was his first time here...
"Of course it's true," the manager replied flatteringly.
"Thanks."
…
Zhang Yang turned around and left. Since the other party said he was going to treat him, there was no need for him to bother paying the bill.
What's more, there are just a few side dishes and a bottle of XO. The prices here are ridiculously expensive, but they don't cost much outside. There is no need to be polite, but it makes me look stingy and uneducated...
The two took a taxi. Seeing Ye Wenqian's worried look, Zhang Yang did not ask the driver to go back to the modification shop, but rushed to her warm little home.
Ye Wenqian was speechless all the way, staring blankly out of the window. The inside of the car seemed particularly dull.
"Shall I take you up?" Zhang Yang asked after reaching the downstairs of the community.
"No, I want to be alone for a while." Ye Wenqian showed a wry smile and declined politely.
"Don't think so much, you were just a silly girl in the past..." Zhang Yang didn't have any dirty thoughts at the moment, he was more concerned about her.
"You misunderstood. I never regretted breaking up with him."
Before Zhang Yang could finish speaking, Ye Wenqian took over the topic and explained: "I just didn't expect him to be such a person. The look he gave the old man just now was really scary."
"Fortunately, I snatched you from his side. This can be regarded as helping you escape from the sea of misery, right?" Zhang Yang joked with a smile, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
When he recalled Song Yehan's eyes, he felt a chill in his heart. It was a kind of great hatred, insidious and cold as a knife, and every word of his words revealed murderous intent, and he would not let go of the old man.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to imagine that the always gentle and elegant young master would have such a huge hatred in his heart...
"Young poor man, I'm going upstairs, you should go back too." Ye Wenqian's sweet smile showed that she was in a much better mood. After speaking, she turned around and walked towards the corridor.
Zhang Yang stared at her slender back in a daze, and saw her suddenly stop, run back quickly, and throw herself into his arms.
"come back earlier,"
"Are you reluctant to leave me?" Zhang Yang's arms were full of soft jade, and the fragrance was fragrant, and he felt particularly comfortable. He hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her hair and said softly.
"Um."
Ye Wenqian answered in the affirmative, raising her pretty face with tears in her eyes, blushing with determination, like a woman bidding farewell to her husband who was away from home, full of tenderness and reluctance.
"Believe me, I will be responsible for you and will definitely marry you as my wife."
…
When he thought it was not Ye Wenqian's first time, he also decided to marry this girl as his wife, not to mention that she would give him her first time, so this idea naturally became more firm.
It is undeniable that she will leave Beidu tomorrow, which makes her miss and be reluctant to leave...
Zhang Yang had nothing to do after returning to the hotel and called Meng Qiaoer.
Meng Qiaoer told him that her parents had left Beidu last night and would no longer force her to marry the rich second generation, but it would also depend on Zhang Yang's behavior towards her in the future.
Zhang Yang knew that this was half true and half false. Twenty LV bags had successfully defeated the snobbish mother-in-law, and his impression of him had changed.
I guess judging from my performance, this girl Meng Qiaoer is just a reminder to me.
Zhang Yang told her to leave the car with her for now, and then contact Zheng Binhao to exchange it for him after he came back from Danxia Mountain.
With the strength of Zheng Binhao's company, he wouldn't care about such a car, not to mention that his Land Rover is still at his place and can be used temporarily.
Originally, he wanted to call Hua Tinglan again, say goodbye, and tell her that he would stop by Haitian Group when he came back to meet Feng Yanran and talk about her work.
But then I thought, with Feng Yanran's serious character, it is not certain whether she agrees or not? So I kept it secret for now. If it works, it can be regarded as a surprise for her.
It is undeniable that Zhang Yang still attaches great importance to this mature and charming sister...
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang got up early, checked out of the room, took a taxi and rushed to Shen Bing's home.
The doorman was already familiar with him and let him in after saying hello. Shen Bing did not tend to his flowers and plants this time, but was watching the news in the living room. There was a cup of strong tea and today's newspaper on the coffee table next to him.
Shen Xue and the other girls were not in the living room. I don't know if they were sleeping in or packing their things.
Anyway, there was enough time for the noon train, so Zhang Yang was not worried.
"Zhang Yang, you came just in time. What's weird about this news?" After Shen Bing saw him coming in, she pointed to the sofa next to her and motioned for him to sit down, then turned back and continued to stare at the screen.
"The latest news reports that there has been recent progress in the fire and explosion incident in the chemical plant. Twenty-one bodies were found at the scene of the fire. It was initially confirmed that they were employees of the chemical plant. The police have been involved in the investigation of the cause of the fire. I believe there will be results soon. This report
The station will make follow-up reports."
The scene of the explosion in the chemical plant was played on the screen, followed by footage of the fire brigade extinguishing the fire and cleaning up the scene. The scene was almost flattened and there were charred debris everywhere.
A cordon was set up all around, and a group of people in police uniforms were constantly shuttled among the ruins, looking for clues to the cause of the fire. You must know that more than twenty people died at once, which was enough to attract the attention of the police and give the people a reasonable
Account.
"I've seen this news too. It's just an explosion in a chemical plant. What could be strange about it?" Zhang Yang replied with a guilty conscience.
Of course he would not be stupid enough to tell what happened that day, otherwise the old man in front of him would definitely not let him go back to Danxia Mountain, and it would take some time to resolve the doubts in his heart.
Anyway, what happened has happened, and the tragedy cannot be undone. I need to ask myself clearly about the identity of the man in black. If it has nothing to do with the master, it doesn't matter if I tell him the whole thing after I come back.
He hasn't thought about what he should do once the man in black is related to the teacher's sect...
After all, there are more than twenty lives. Even if there are bad guys like Ono who deserve to die, there are also those poor workers who don't know the truth. We can't let them die in the dark.
"Judging from the TV pictures, this chemical plant is not very big. How come there are more than 20 workers?"
Shen Bing looked at him sideways and continued: "The fire broke out at night. Are they still working at night?"
"Perhaps they work night shifts, and chemical plants are very polluted. Maybe they are afraid of inspections by relevant departments during the day, so they work overtime at night to produce."
Zhang Yang looked for reasons to explain, although he himself felt that there was no need to analyze these things. Speaking out would make him lie, and it would be like excusing those bad people.
"What you say is reasonable, but it takes time from the beginning of a fire to the time it ignites the body. Don't so many staff members notice it? No one can escape?" (To be continued)
