The next day, after Xue Chen dried the gourds again, he called Qi Hu and agreed to meet and chat in the evening.
In the evening, Xue Chen drove to pick up Xu Deji and arrived at the magnificent place.
Seeing the neon lights flashing, the luxury cars parked in front of the door, and the resplendent young girls in sexy clothes constantly coming and going, Xu Deji felt that his eyes were not enough.
After Xue Chen entered the lobby, the foreman immediately greeted him and led him to a luxurious private room. Not long after, Qi Hu opened the door and walked in: "Brother Xue, I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with recently?"
"Busy." Xue Chen said with a smile, and then gave Xu Deji a brief introduction.
Xu Deji sat aside obediently and watched Xu Chen and Qi Hu chatting. He also looked at the box with his eyes. Seeing the luxurious decoration, he secretly thought that it was really not comparable to the KTV in the town.
After chatting for a while, Xue Chen got down to business: "Brother Qi, I actually have something else I want you to give me some advice on when I come today."
"Ha, there is something that can make Brother Xue lose his mind?" Qi Hu said with a smile.
Xue Chen laughed, and then briefly talked about Xu Deji's matter. He really didn't know how to deal with it now. It was obviously not possible to let Xu Deji go back to his hometown, but for a while he couldn't find the direction he wanted to develop.
After listening, Qi Hu put his chin on his hand and started thinking. After thinking for a while, he looked at Xu Deji and said, "Then let me tell you what I think?"
Xue Chen nodded: "Brother Qi, please tell me."
"It's normal for him to not know what he wants to do for a while. After all, he has never thought about such a thing before, and he is still young. The more he is exposed to it, the more he will naturally discover his hobbies and strengths."
Qi Hu held his knees with both hands, reminiscing about the past as if he was remembering the bitterness and the sweetness.
"I also stopped studying in high school, so I came out to join the society. I fooled around every day, following a group of people and yelling at each other. But then I slowly realized that I was no longer a young man and it was time to do something in my career. But what can I do?
I worked as an electric welding apprentice, learned to repair cars, and cut people's hair. Later, I found that these were not suitable for me. Until I went to work part-time in a massage parlor, I realized that this job was suitable for me. Later, I paid some money.
I rented a storefront and started working in this industry. I worked there for thirty years, and now I have the splendor."
Xue Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Qi's experience is really inspiring."
Qi Hu laughed: "So, it takes a while to figure out what you want to do. I think it's better to let your brother find some work in my magnificent place. After all, I can come into contact with all kinds of people here."
People with different identities may be able to find a job they like."
"Okay, let's do it this way, please, Brother Qi." Xue Chen thought about it for a while and nodded, feeling that this might not be a good idea.
The splendid city is like a big dyeing vat. It comes into contact with many people and sees many things. It can also test one's abilities.
"Deji, what do you think, work here for a while?" Xue Chen turned around and asked.
Seeing that he was going to be placed in this large entertainment city, Xu Deji naturally had no objection, nodded and said: "Okay."
Qi Hu said in a timely manner: "As for the specifics, you don't have to do anything. I will let Manager Hu in the lobby take you. Just take a look and learn more every day."
"Brother Chen, Mr. Qi, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and study hard." Xu Deji nodded solemnly and said.
Let’s consider Xu Deji’s work problem temporarily solved and wait until he finds the direction he likes before he thinks about it again.
When they got out of the box, Xue Chen said goodbye to Qi Hu and prepared to leave with Xu Deji. When they arrived at the door of the hall, they met two acquaintances, Liu Qingshuang and Liu Jianguo. In addition to these two people, there were two men traveling with them.
The two had different reactions when they saw Xue Chen. Liu Qingshuang smiled lightly and said hello: "Xue Chen, what a coincidence I met you here."
When the two met for the first time, she was the one who checked Xue Chen for drunk driving. Xue Chen left a really bad impression on her, which could even be said to be very bad. But later, because of the little white dog incident, she had some feelings for Xue Chen.
After the wild boar incident on the mountain, she felt that Xue Chen was okay, at least much better than Xu Ming, at least a very low-key, honest and courageous man.
"It's a coincidence." Xue Chen smiled and nodded.
When Liu Jianguo saw Xue Chen, his eyes moved and he said: "Since we have met, it is fate. Why don't we go up and sit together? We are planning to go up and sing."
"I will not participate in your old friends' gathering," Xue Chen said.
"It's okay. I just want to hear Mr. Xue's story about how you shot a wild boar to death with two arrows. Don't refuse. Come and sit together." Liu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's okay, there are so many people and it's so lively." Liu Qingshuang said with a smile.
Seeing that both brothers and sisters had made invitations, Xue Chen was embarrassed to refuse further: "Well, okay then." Then he turned around and told Xu Deji to take a taxi back first.
Xu Deji didn't say anything more, knowing that he was not suitable to stay here. After all, he and Brother Chen's friends were not in the same circle at all. If he stayed, he would only appear to have no vision. He nodded and left.
Xue Chen followed a group of four people upstairs to the KTV on the fifteenth floor and entered a private room.
As soon as the few people sat down, a waiter immediately brought a fruit plate, dried fruits and other snacks on the coffee table. Liu Qingshuang said in surprise: "We haven't ordered yet, why were they served?"
The waiter smiled and said: "Our manager gave it to Mr. Xue and several others." After saying that, he left.
The four people understood at once that it was given for free for Xue Chen's sake. Although it was not worth a few dollars and no one noticed it, it also meant something.
Liu Jianguo smiled and said: "Mr. Xue has really many friends."
Xue Chen smiled and said nothing. He really didn't know the person in charge of this KTV.
Liu Qingshuang went over to request a song, and Liu Jianguo asked: "Mr. Xue is working in the Ning Group now?"
"Not bad." Xue Chen nodded.
"The Ning Group is good, but it is the pearl among private enterprises in Yunzhou Province." Liu Jianguo looked thoughtful, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Xue works in the group as assistant to the chairman? It's really not simple.
admire."
"Mr. Liu, you deserve the award. I should admire you. Even Mayor Zhao praised you highly. Now you have the rank of major and your future is limitless." Xue Chen replied.
Liu Jianguo looked at Xue Chen and smiled, nodded, and then briefly introduced the two men who came with him. They were comrades in the army, but they had already transferred to other places and held some grassroots positions in Haicheng.
When the waiter came over and asked if he wanted any drinks, Liu Jianguo waved his hand and ordered four pieces of beer.
Liu Qingshuang asked for a bottle of orange juice.
After a while, the waiter brought in four cases of beer.
After Liu Jianguo poured a glass of wine and drank it, he turned to Xue Chen and asked: "Mr. Xue, I heard from my little sister that you shot an adult wild boar to death with two arrows. I also saw photos of the scene. I really admire you.
You also saved my little sister from danger, so I’ll give you a toast.”
Xue Chen also picked up a glass of wine: "You're welcome."
After putting down the cup, Liu Jianguo asked curiously: "You used to go hunting with bows?"
"I have often played archery, but this is my first time hunting with a bow in the wild." There was nothing to hide, Xue Chen said truthfully.
"That's even more amazing." Liu Jianguo nodded. Although he and Xue Chen had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel, he was not that petty. He was awesome. His little sister's words and photos proved that hunting wild boars was true.
, this is something he can't do, so he admires this very much.
The two men who came with them had never heard of this incident, but one of them saw a friend's post on his WeChat Moments, saying that he and others had hunted a wild boar.
He even liked it.
Liu Qingshuang, who was holding a microphone and was about to sing, curled her lips and said with some disdain and disdain: "When the wild boar was chasing after it, everyone was running away. Only Xue Chen stayed behind.
He was shot and killed before everyone else came over. It was entirely Xue Chen who killed him alone and had nothing to do with anyone else."
Xue Chen chatted casually with a few people, and kept drinking wine in his hands. In a short time, four boxes of beer were drank by four people.
Liu Jianguo glanced at Xue Chen in secret surprise. Xue Chen's drinking capacity surprised him. The four cases of beer were almost equally divided among the four of them, which meant that each of them drank twelve bottles.
This amount is not much, but it is not easy to keep the expression on one's face as if drinking water. His two comrades who have transferred to the army also have a large amount, but after drinking one piece, their faces were a little red, and they started to
Although he was sweating, Xue Chen crossed his legs and watched his little sister singing with a smile. He was not drunk at all, as if he had never drank.
Xue Chen watched Liu Qingshuang singing and felt that her singing was pretty good.
“Mr.
It was a loss of identity and too low-level. Now it seems that I made the right choice by not drinking too much.
After some chatting, he felt that Xue Chen was quite to his liking. At least he was a frank person, not pretentious, with a very easy-going personality, not to mention unassuming.
At this time, Liu Qingshuang also finished singing a song. She came back with a slightly red face and said, "Brother, you and Xue Chen don't have the same name as each other. It sounds weird. Just call each other by your first name."
Liu Jianguo looked at Xue Chen and said cheerfully: "Xue Chen."
"Brother Jianguo." Xue Chen also hugged him and smiled.
"That's right." Liu Qingshuang said with a smile. (To be continued)
