When it got dark, Gao Jing went out to look for food as usual.
As the cultural center of Greater China, although the local cuisine in Beijing is lackluster, it is an international metropolis after all, and its bustling business district brings together catering brands from all over the world.
Whether diners want to enjoy Sichuan and Sichuan hot pot, eat Cantonese dim sum, or try French and Japanese cuisine, they can find their favorite restaurants here to soothe their stomachs.
Having completed his mission to Beijing today, Gao Jing plans to return to Shanghai tomorrow, so he will treat himself well in the evening.
Based on the restaurant reputation rating on his mobile phone, he found a highly rated Jiangnan restaurant.
I plan to eat some local food.
Finally, when they arrived at this Jiangnan restaurant, Gao Jing found that there were at least dozens of customers sitting in the waiting area in the foyer.
The business is so good that I don’t even know how many positions I’ve reached in the queue!
This kind of situation is very common in popular restaurants. Gao Jing was not surprised, but just a little depressed.
He didn't want to wait an hour or two for this dinner and planned to check out other restaurants.
"Lao Gao?"
As a result, as soon as Gao Jing turned around, he saw a tall and thin man in front of him and asked him doubtfully: "Gao Jing?"
He looked like he wanted to recognize him but wasn't sure.
Gao Jing smiled: "Da Liu, long time no see."
"Hold the grass!"
The tall and thin man was immediately overjoyed. He stepped forward and opened his arms: "It's really you. I almost didn't recognize it!"
"Ha ha!"
Gao Jing smiled and hugged him: "You have changed a lot too."
This tall and lanky man is named Liu Xingtai, a Northeastern native, a classmate of Gaojing University, and a roommate in the same dormitory.
When Gao Jing was in college, he had a very good relationship with Liu Xingtai. The two often played ball and played together.
After graduating from college, Liu Xingtai returned to his hometown, and Gao Jing gradually lost contact with him.
I didn't expect to meet you here today.
When he was in college, Liu Xingtai was a typical Northeastern man with a very strong physique.
I have lost a lot of weight now.
"You came to the capital and you didn't even say a word to me!"
Liu Xingtai punched him and complained: "You don't treat me as a friend!"
Gao Jing touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I didn't even know you were in the capital right now."
"I have been a drifter in Beijing for several years."
Liu Xingtai said: "I said it in the classmate group, but you probably didn't see it, uh, by the way..."
He patted his head and quickly introduced the two women beside him to Gao Jing: "This is Wang Lixuan, my girlfriend, and this is Lixuan's best friend Qiao Rongrong."
"Lixuan, Rongrong, this is my college classmate Gao Jing."
Gao Jing smiled and said, "Hello."
Wang Lixuan is petite, dressed quite delicately, and her appearance is about seven points.
She extended her hand to Gao Jing calmly and generously: "I've heard Da Liu talk about you a long time ago, and today I can see you in person."
Gao Jing smiled and shook hands with her: "What do you think?"
Wang Lixuan replied seriously: "He's very handsome!"
As she said that, she gently pushed Qiao Rongrong beside her: "Rongrong, your chance has come!"
Qiao Rongrong is obviously taller than Wang Lizuan in both figure and appearance, and her clothes are also very fashionable.
She smiled and did not respond to Wang Lizuan's joke.
Seems quite reserved.
Liu Xingtai quickly asked: "Lao Gao, are you here to eat?"
"yes."
Gao Jing shrugged: "I didn't expect there to be so many people. I was planning to change to another restaurant."
"Don't!"
Liu Xingtai immediately said: "I took the number a long time ago, and now there is only one table left in front of me. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so it's just a good time to have a drink and catch up on old times!"
Gao Jing said happily: "Okay."
He was very happy to see this old classmate from college.
The four of them didn't wait long, and soon the waiter called Liu Xingtai's number, so they went in to eat together.
After sitting down, Liu Xingtai enthusiastically handed the menu to Gao Jing: "Lao Gao, you can order whatever you like. I'll treat you tonight, so don't be polite to me!"
Gao Jing smiled and said: "Ladies have priority, let the two ladies order first, and I'll add more dishes."
While Wang Lizuan and Qiao Rongrong were ordering, Liu Xingtai asked the waiter to bring a few bottles of beer, toasted to Gao Jing, and then started talking freely.
Only then did Gao Jing learn that Liu Xingtai had quit his job in his hometown four years ago and went to the capital to work hard. He is currently working as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. Although his career is not a success, his life is relatively stable.
After Liu Xingtai explained his situation, he asked Gao Jing: "Lao Gao, where are you hanging out now?"
His question also aroused the curiosity of Wang Lixuan and Qiao Rongrong.
Gao Jing wanted to answer that he was mainly hanging out in the big world, but unfortunately no one would believe him.
"Just messing around."
Liu Xingtai expressed doubts: "I believe you are a ghost!"
Wang Lixuan pursed her lips and smiled, and a look of disapproval flashed in Qiao Rongrong's eyes.
Gao Jing's appearance is indeed very eye-catching, tall and handsome, but he is dressed in ordinary clothes and has nothing valuable on him, so he probably doesn't get along very well.
What left Qiao Rongrong speechless the most was that she discovered that Gao Jing was actually wearing a limited edition Patek Philippe!
Qiao Rongrong once saw an introduction to this watch in a fashion magazine. It is a true heirloom luxury product, priced at 5.58 million, and you must be a senior member of Patek Philippe to purchase it.
Putting aside the extremely expensive price, she didn't think Gao Jing was a Patek Philippe customer.
The only explanation is that what Gao Jing is wearing is a fake!
Qiao Rongrong has always felt that it is normal to not be able to afford luxury brands, but wearable knockoffs are ridiculous.
This greatly affected her impression of Gao Jing.
Gao Jing noticed Qiao Rongrong's eyes, but didn't care.
It was just a chance encounter, and all he cared about was Liu Xingtai, an old classmate.
But the meal was quite pleasant. Although Qiao Rongrong was quite reserved, she hid her thoughts well and did not show any snobbery.
Liu Xingtai ran to settle the bill, and when he came back he hurriedly said to Gao Jing: "Lao Gao, do you still remember Hao Sheng?"
Gao Ding nodded.
Hao Sheng was a senior in the first batch of Dagaojing and used to visit his dormitory.
In Gao Jing's impression, Hao Sheng is a very shrewd person who can get away with anywhere.
"He's so arrogant now that he's become a company manager."
Liu Xingtai said: "He called me just now, knowing that I was with you, and asked us to go over to drink and sing karaoke!"
Gao Jing and Hao Sheng were casual acquaintances and had no friendship.
Naturally, I have no interest in socializing.
But seeing how enthusiastic Liu Xingtai was, it was difficult to displease him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
So the four of them left Jiangnan Restaurant together, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and headed to the KTV where Hao Sheng was.
