Chapter 35 No longer noble, the heaviest step in life
Accompanied by the almost numb "We are so destined", Qiao Xi and Yu Ming walked to the same private room.
The two stood at the door and looked at each other. Seeing that he was about to open his mouth to speak, Qiao Xi spoke quickly and said first: "Wow, we are so destined!"
His lines were suddenly robbed, Yu Ming hesitated for a while, and echoed: "Yes, yes, we are so destined!"
Qiao Xi smiled and took a step to the side, motioning for him to advance.
This kind of large-scale social occasion is waiting for a group of people, and the moment you walk in, it is no less than nuclear radiation for social terror.
Every cell is struggling on the verge of death...
Qiao Xi didn't know how many people were there, anyway, he didn't want to try.
Sheniu Yu obviously didn't have this concern. Seeing Qiao Xi's action, he smiled and pushed the door open: "I found out why you are so polite, it's because friends don't need to be so modest."
As the door of the private room was pushed open, noisy voices scrambled into the ears, and Qiao Xi felt a wave of social heat sweeping over.
"Yu Ming, you're late, you're fine with alcohol!"
A sonorous voice was paired with a bold laughter, like a magic sound piercing the ear, with strong penetrating power, breaking through the striker and reaching Qiao Xi directly.
Apparently, Yu Ming and the people in the private room were very familiar with each other, and laughed and cursed: "Fuck you, I'm obviously on time!"
He raised his hand and pointed to the watch on his wrist: "See, it's still a minute away."
"You have the nerve to have so many of us waiting for you?" Another voice joined in.
The intention of pouring wine is very obvious, obviously Yu Ming stopped drinking this glass of wine, there is no end to it.
"Okay, okay, you have a lot of people, I'll drink!" Yu Ming shrugged helplessly, and said to Qiao Xi behind him: "Where are you sitting, why don't you sit with me?"
Yu Ming stepped aside, immediately exposing Qiao Xi to everyone's sight.
At the same time, Qiao Xi also saw the situation in the private room clearly.
Four men and two women, all about the same age as him, only one boy who Qiao Xi is familiar with, last time saw him go to pick up Yang Yunqing at school.
Seeing this person, Qiao Xi's mood did not improve, he hoped that he found the wrong private room.
Perhaps they were all acquaintances, and the people in the private room sat in a lazy and casual posture, with T-shirts and big pants as standard.
Three boys were playing cards, their faces covered with white paper, and two girls gathered together to talk.
Only Yang Yunqing's boyfriend sat alone on the side, looking down and playing with his mobile phone, as if sending a message.
Seeing Qiao Xi for the first time, the private room suddenly exploded.
"Fuck, who is this?" The boy with an exceptionally loud voice was so startled that the note on his face was blown away.
This sound caused the two girls who were talking to look up.
"Yu Ming, don't say anything when you bring someone here, let me dress up!"
"This is not your partner, is it?!"
A group of people began to speculate on Qiaoxi's identity, leaving no room for Qiao Xi to introduce himself.
Yu Ming didn't mind their guessing either, and said to Qiao Xi with a smile that blinded his teeth, "Wow, they actually thought you were my partner, you look so good-looking, it's a big loss."
Qiao Xi: "..."
So social cows like to get together, right?
Qiao Xi has even considered strategically withdrawing from the battlefield, waiting for his allies to arrive before he enters.
But before he could make a move, Yang Yunqing's boyfriend put down his phone and slapped the guy next to him with a particularly loud voice: "Lao Liu, your voice is so loud that even the suburbs will complain about you as a nuisance!"
"Sister Yunqing called this person, you all should be quiet." Yang Yunqing's boyfriend stood up, pointed to a piece of pure land next to him and said, "Come here, my name is Liang Nan, I'm younger than you,Just call me Nan."
Qiao Xi smiled at him, seemingly calm, but actually walked to the seat eagerly and sat down.
When his butt was against the old leather sofa seat, his soul, which had no place to rest, got a moment of peace.
There was a moment of silence in the private room, and then it became noisy again.
Yu Ming shrugged his shoulders, showed his big white teeth in a smile, and sat down next to the three boys.
As soon as they sat down, several of them punched Yu Ming one by one.
"You boy walked us to play, you are not the one you brought here, where are you pretending to be, is it embarrassing!"
Yu Ming laughed and avoided, and explained: "I met him on the subway, and brought him all the way to this hotel. This private room, um, why is it not counted as what I brought?"
The person next to him suddenly flipped Byakugan.
Yu Ming finished the three glasses of wine he had promised, and greeted the two girls again.
If it is said that for social terror, the occasion of per capita social cattle is hell, then this kind of per capita social cattle, but he does not know any occasions, must be the place of reincarnation.
Qiao Xi slowly took out his mobile phone, trying to get rid of this embarrassment that goes directly to the depths of his soul by playing with the mobile phone.
"Sit down first, Sister Yunqing will be here soon." Liang Nan uttered suddenly, causing Qiao Xi's hand to tremble in fright, and almost sent the phone away.
Qiao Xi quickly covered the phone, and smiled: "Okay, I said why didn't I see him, haha."
Liang Nan gave him a fixed look, as if sizing up something.
Inexplicably, Qiao Xi felt a chill down his back.
Fortunately, this glance didn't last too long, Liang Nan hummed, then lowered his head to play with his phone again.
Qiao Xi thought, why does this man look at him with such complicated eyes.
It's like he did something heinous.
In a society ruled by law, as a civilized person in this class, there is nothing worth doing except a green hat...
Qiao Xi suddenly realized, and Tianling Gai trembled twice in shock.
This person doesn't think he has some invisible relationship with Yang Yunqing, does he?
Or is it because the rivals meet each other and are extremely jealous?
Qiao Xi wanted to cry, but frankly speaking, Yang Yunqing hadn't even confessed to him. How could there be a love rival relationship here...
Qiao Xi wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain, so it was even more embarrassing.
Qiao Xi: I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car.
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation was quickly resolved.
Yang Yunqing hurriedly opened the door and came in, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm stuck in traffic, if I knew I would have taken the subway!"
The people in the private room greeted her one after another, and the atmosphere became more lively.
Yang Yunqing was talking to them, his eyes swept around the private room, and when he saw Qiao Xi, his eyes lit up: "Little Xi, you are here!"
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief silently, and smiled back at her: "Well, I just arrived too."
Yang Yunqing walked to the side of Qiao Xi, and said to Liang Nan on the left of Qiao Xi: "Move to the side, I want to sit with Little Xi."
In the past, Qiao Xi would think it was nothing, after all, he was more familiar with Yang Yunqing.
But thinking of Liang Nan's eyes looking at the dead, Qiao Xi felt even more frightened.
"No, no, you can sit over there." Qiao Xi pointed to another seat.
The other side of Liang Nan was vacant, obviously reserved for Yang Yunqing.
Because of this sentence, Liang Nan's face turned cloudy.
"I called you here, so I don't care what you say." Yang Yunqing waved his hand and pushed Liang Nan's body, "Hurry up, move quickly."
Liang Nan's always cold face suddenly became aggrieved: "Why don't you sit next to me."
Yang Yunqing was inexplicable: "...I'm sitting next to you, right?"
Liang Nan shook her head: "No, this is next to him."
Qiao Xi: "..." He thought he was here for a dinner party, but it turned out to be a tea party?
In the end, iron and blood methods suppressed the tea art master, and Yang Yunqing sat between Qiao Xi and Liang Nan.
Before Yang Yunqing could say a word of greeting, Yu Ming took the empty seat on Qiao Xi's right with a cup in his hand.
He smiled and poured tea into the teacup in front of Yang Yunqing: "Sister Yunqing, you came so slowly, is this your friend?"
He was talking about Qiao Xi. Although he was a good colleague along the way, he didn't know him well.
This sofa is not considered long at all, but when there are four people at once, and three of them are men, it immediately becomes crowded.
Qiao Xi only felt like a little chick squeezed into a ball by mother hens in winter, and he had to hold it with his hands.
Liang Nan moved a little to the side, and pulled Yang Yunqing to move a little too.
Although Qiao Xi knew that this was to prevent his "rival in love" from taking advantage of him, Qiaoqiaoxi still cast a grateful look at him.
Liang Nan's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, wondering if this person was provoking her, otherwise why would he smile at him.
Yang Yunqing didn't know what the two of them were thinking, so he cheerfully introduced Qiao Xi and Yu Ming.
"This is Qiao Xi, my junior, freshman student." She pointed at Yu Ming again, and said to Qiao Xi, "This is my boyfriend's classmate, who just finished the college entrance examination."
Qiao Xi was a little surprised. Yu Ming was tall, so he didn't look like a high school student.
At least among the people he knew, only Shen Xiucheng, Ke Tang and Yang Jian could compete with him.
Yu Ming sighed: "Senior, you look so small, you don't look older than me at all, I thought you were a junior high school student, at most you just entered high school."
Qiao Xi: "..." This man...are you laughing at his short stature??
But Qiao Xi still nodded to Yu Ming with a smile on his face.
Yu Ming stretched out his hand and patted Qiao Xi's shoulder: "You don't need to be so polite."
Qiao Xi thought to himself, this person's progress bar is moving so fast, I haven't finished my cup of tea yet, this is a family.
"Little Xi, did you come here by subway? You came so early, and I told them to wait for you." Yang Yunqing took a sip of tea, and then he recovered from the state of rushing all the way.
Just as Qiao Xi was about to speak, Yu Ming preempted him.
He told Yang Yunqing about the encounter between the two of them taking the subway together, and Yang Yunqing was surprised: "It's so fate?"
Yu Ming patted his thigh: "Yeah, I think so too, it's so predestined!"
When all the people arrived, someone went out to ask the waiter to serve the food.
Yang Yunqing and Yu Ming chatted passionately across the bridge, perhaps because they were afraid that he would be bored, they wanted to cue Qiao Xi from time to time.
Qiao Xi really wanted to say, you can talk openly, don't take me into consideration, it's best to ignore me.
In order for the waiter to serve the food, the door of the private room was opened.
Qiao Xi was struggling to survive in a humble way. At a certain moment, he seemed to see a familiar figure walking by the door.
Qiao Xi:?
Why did he seem to see Shen Xiucheng?
Qiao Xi felt that his eyes were dazzled, after all, this was the A4 area, dozens of kilometers away from Shen Group.
It is impossible for Mr. Shen, who is busy with business, to appear here.
Soon, he discovered that he was not dazzled.
Because the person who just passed by the door came back and stood at the door.
The two looked at each other at a 30° angle across a table.
The man at the door was dressed in an English-style suit, with a straight figure, which was particularly eye-catching, and quickly attracted the attention of other people in the private room.
Shen Xiucheng drove over, feeling uncomfortable being blocked on the road.
Zhao Yiming and Ke Tang, who rubbed against the car, were lying in the back seat like two dead dogs, yelling that they were going to starve to death.
After finally arriving at the address in Qiao Xi's screenshot, and looking at the famous Sichuan cuisine restaurant called "Fanhua", the three of them fell silent.
The restaurant is a time-honored brand with old decoration and a small two-story storefront.
From the grease stains on the floor in front of the door, it can be seen that this must be a good restaurant with high quality and low price, and large quantity.
It just doesn't match their equipment...
Ke Tang is okay, he always comes as comfortable as possible, T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops are standard equipment.
It's just that Shen Xiucheng and Zhao Yiming are both in suits and leather shoes, and the level of shiny leather shoes is incompatible with this store.
Zhao Yiming stared at the restaurant inexplicably: "My brother Shen, we ran so far just to eat Sichuan food?"
Seeing that Shen Xiucheng's face was not good-looking, Zhao Yiming hurriedly tried to make up for it: "I'm not saying that this restaurant is not good, the Sichuan cuisine is not good, it's just that it's not suitable for us to enter this restaurant with our outfits today."
Ke Tang's face immediately turned green when he heard this, and he was afraid that Shen Xiucheng would turn around and leave, so he drove another two hours back to A7.
He is now a capitalized starving ghost and will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
Ke Tang: "What's the matter, we're called close to the people, who said you can't eat flies in a suit!"
Shen Xiucheng looked at the deep grease at the door, the corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line, and his brows were almost knotted.
Zhao Yiming wanted to say something else, but Ke Tang immediately covered his mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Are you fucking hungry again? Do you want to go back to A7 by car for another two hours to eat?"
Unlike A7, which is full of businesses in the business district, District A4 is the old town of City A. It is really not easy to find a restaurant of high quality that matches Shen Xiucheng's daily dining habits.
After figuring this out, Zhao Yiming turned pale from hunger and immediately turned paler.
He pulled Ke Tang's hand away, said with trembling lips: "Brother, why don't we just leave it here, the person in the suit may not necessarily be the president, but may also be selling insurance, as long as we are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else......"
Ke Tang: "...you really know how to comfort people."
They still wanted to do ideological work for Shen Xiucheng, but Shen Xiucheng took a deep breath and took the heaviest step in his life.
The advanced custom-made handmade leather shoes are a little slippery and sticky when they step on the floor covered with grease.
Shen Xiucheng gritted his teeth, and when he found someone, he...
The three of them looked at death as if they were at home, so scared that the little girl who was waiting at the door didn't dare to speak.
She hurried into the store and said to the proprietress, "Madam proprietress, it seems that there are three gangsters in our store!"
The proprietress turned pale with shock: "What?"
Little girl: "Their expressions are so fierce, woo woo woo, they are here to collect protection fees!"
"Fuck, isn't this Senior Shen?" Yang Yunqing turned his head and saw Shen Xiucheng who was like a door god at the door.
Only then did Qiao Xi confirm that the person at the door was really Shen Xiucheng.
Qiao Xi was startled, why did this person appear here?
"I'll go out and ask." Qiao Xi stood up, talked to Yang Yunqing, and was about to go out.
Seeing that he was about to go out, Yu Ming turned sideways to make room for him.
The distance between the table and the sofa was a bit short, afraid of bumping into Yu Ming, Qiao Xi could only move out against the table.
From Shen Xiucheng's point of view, he could see Qiao Xi coming out next to others.
Shen Xiucheng: "..." So angry!
Seeing Qiao Xi, Zhao Yiming was also shocked: "Fuck, why is this young master here?"
Ke Tang looked at Qiao Xi who was walking towards them, then at Shen Xiucheng who had an unpredictable expression, and smacked his mouth twice.
As this year's outstanding candy-knocking boy, Ke Tang felt that he seemed to have discovered something, um, it's so strange... Take another look!
The men and women in the private room are basically not bad in appearance, especially the few sitting next to Qiao Xi are even more outstanding.
Zhao Yiming stroked his chin: "Is Qiao Xi attending a sorority party? Good guy, he's quite popular. Look at this crowd."
With beautiful women and handsome men gathered together, it is hard not to let people guess.
Hearing this, Ke Tang immediately rolled his eyes and looked at Brother Shen, and sure enough, that handsome face became even darker.
Qiao Xi walked out of the private room, and closed the door halfway, blocking the curious eyes behind him.
"Uncle Shen, are you coming here to eat too?" Looking at Shen Xiucheng's gentlemanly suit, Qiao Xi was a little uncertain.
"Well," Shen Xiucheng replied, his eyes still on the door panel behind Qiao Xi, "Your friend?"
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, realizing that Shen Xiucheng was talking about the people in the private room, hesitated a little, but said honestly: "It doesn't count, it's just that was called over to have dinner together, and just met."
"Hey, it really is friendship, am I right, hahaha..." Zhao Yiming clapped his hands and laughed.
Ke Tang looked at him, as if he was looking at the idiot son of the landlord's family, this man is hopeless.
Shen Xiucheng gritted his teeth, and said calmly, "Then why don't you introduce me?"
Qiao Xi hesitated, and saw the excitement inside from the crack of the door: "No, no, I'm not familiar with them, I'll introduce them when I do."
Qiao Xi was telling the truth, he was indeed not familiar with the people inside, except for Yang Yunqing and Yu Ming, he didn't even know the names of the others.
When you are familiar with it, you are introducing it?How familiar do you need to be, and then introduce it after you are familiar with everyone?
Shen Xiucheng took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Seeing that Shen Xiucheng was already under heavy rain and strong wind, Ke Tang quickly interjected, "We saw you when we were eating here, do you want to come with us?"
Qiao Xi let out an ah, not knowing how to answer.
Compared to a room full of cows, he wanted to have dinner with Shen Xiucheng and the others, but leaving like this is not a big deal.
Just when he hesitated.
"Together?" Shen Xiucheng suddenly said.
Qiao Xi raised his head, met Shen Xiucheng's eyes, froze for a moment, and nodded as if he was bewitched by something.
After nodding, Qiao Xi reacted abruptly.
Damn, did I just nod?I promised???
Qiao Xi was confused, so how would he tell Yang Yunqing.
No matter how ignorant of communication, he also knows how easy it is to suddenly leave the table to eat with others.
"I'll help you." Shen Xiucheng seemed to see Qiao Xi's embarrassment, and patted him on the head, "Wait here."
Qiao Xi nodded blankly, watching Shen Xiucheng push the door and go in.
Suddenly a stranger walked in, still wearing a suit that didn't fit them, and everyone's eyes immediately gathered.
The concentration of this gaze, even Qiao Xi who was standing at the door was accidentally injured.
Shen Xiucheng went straight to Yang Yunqing and greeted her: "Hi, sorry to bother you, you are the senior sister Qiao Xi often mentioned."
Yang Yunqing was flattered, and quickly stood up to shake hands with Shen Xiucheng: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, senior, we belong to the same school."
Shen Xiucheng: "I've been working overtime these days, it's rare to see Qiaoxi, I want to talk to him, you don't mind if I take Qiao Xi away."
Talking to the idol at such a close distance, Yang Yunqing was almost delirious: "It's okay, you can take it away... No, you should take it away."
Shen Xiucheng smiled at her: "Thank you, I was the one who was rude today, next time I will ask him to invite you to dinner to apologize."
Yang Yunqing nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, the corners of his mouth grinning to his ears.
Shen Xiucheng nodded again to everyone present, then turned and went out.
Until the few people at the door completely disappeared from sight, Yang Yunqing was still addicted to the idol's beauty crit.
Seeing this, Liang Nan felt sour in his heart: "I'll watch when no one is there!"
Yang Yunqing held the hand that Shen Xiucheng shook with just now, and said emotionally: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish
Liang Nan: "...not so, sister."
Yang Yunqing rolled his eyes at him: "You don't understand, this is the taste of an idol, this is our big male god A, the people who shake hands with him are all big bosses, do you know the level of Forbes!!! I will also become a big boss in the futureBoss, woo woo woo!"
Liang Nan: "..." Why is the strength of the opponent stronger than the other?
After staying away from the Sheniu group, Qiao Xi's happiness returned: "You guys come here to eat, haha, I'm shocked!"
As soon as these words came out, the other people present all looked over.
I don't know if it's his illusion, it seems... everyone's eyes are full of resentment?
The author has something to say:
Qiao Xi: You guys actually come here to eat, hahaha, shocking.jpg
Shen Xiucheng: I'm dirty, I'm no longer the noble and dust-free Mr. Shen.
Zhao Yiming: I also want to know why we traveled so far to eat.
Ke Tang: Do you still have the face to say so?
