The manager said, “You can go, what you did today was stupid, go to the HR department and get your three months salary and leave before dark.”
Liu Min opened her mouth, but the manager didn’t give her a chance to beg for mercy.
Soon, the security guards took her out.
The manager apologised to us with a smile and then gave us our membership cards.
The card looked understated, not gold as I thought it would be, but a black palm-sized card with the club’s information written on the back of the membership card, but reversed, it did have a graphic of a card face with the king of hearts stamped in gilt.
Mine was the king of hearts, and when I looked at Chu Xiaoxiao’s again, it turned out to be the queen of hearts.
“There’s a difference between men and women?” I asked.
“The cards we get here are different for each member, but you’ll have to experience the reason for that yourself. He smiled in a pretentious manner.
It’s normal for them to do a few tricks to attract customers.
I didn’t ask about the wine tasting that Jiang Ming would be attending, so as not to draw too much attention to myself. The manager of the winery gave me a brief introduction and said he would send me an email.
At the end he thanked us profusely and sent us out the door. At the door, I saw Liu Min crouching in the corner, her eyes red with tears, hugging her knees, not to mention how pathetic she was.
Chu Xiaoxiao said, “Manager, this Liu Min is our cla*smate, just now it was just an accident, sell me the face of this old cla*smate, you don’t fire her.”
Liu Min and the manager both didn’t expect Chu Xiaoxia to say this, Liu Min looked at Chu Xiaoxia suspiciously, but the manager was quick to reflect, he didn’t care if he fired Liu Min, the firing was just to take the heat off of us, as soon as he heard what Chu Xiaoxia said, he immediately nodded his head and agreed.
On the way back, Chu Xiaoxiao was preoccupied. When I talked to her, she would occasionally smile, but when I didn’t say anything, she was silent. I knew she was thinking of Lin Fang, a friendship she had always valued.
She looked at my face in the rear view mirror and stared, not sure what she was looking at, probably angry with me. I was also clogged up inside, not knowing what to do, with my girlfriend on one side and my best friend on the other.
I was about to explain when she shook her head and said, “Forget it, from now on your business is none of my business.” Then she opened the door and got out of the car.
The next day at work, Lin Fang was not very happy, but I teased her a bit before she became happier. On several occasions, she sneaked into a corner to make a phone call, deliberately avoiding people, and I don’t know why.
Chu Xiaoxiao and I hadn’t been talking, and Lin Fang was satisfied. At the end of the day, I drove Lin Fang along to the reunion, and at this reunion, I decided to make my identity public and let everyone know that she was about to become the happiest woman in Tongcheng.
Chu Xiaoxiao was very well liked in high school, many people were her friends, and for this reunion, the entire ground floor of the Ju En Yuan was packed.
I arrived just in time to see Zhao Zichen coming out with his people, and as soon as Zhao Zichen saw me, he smiled and said, “I heard that your alumni had all this floor wrapped up, so we brothers couldn’t even get a seat if we wanted to have something to eat.”
“You like our Ju En Yuan so much? Fine, the private room on the first floor, you can sit anywhere you like, the money is on me.”
Lin Fang thought I was joking and didn’t think much of it. Zhao Zichen also followed the know-it-all upstairs cheekily, Lin Fang only thought we were joking, she would never have thought that I was the owner of this restaurant.
After Lin Fang and I sat down, a hand pressed my shoulder from behind. I subconsciously turned around and saw a B*tchy face to the extreme: Chen Yu Zhou.
Chen Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and said in one word: “It’s been a long time.”
“It’s been a long time.” I had a feeling that today, Chen Yuzhou had come prepared.
The affair between me and Chen Yuzhou had become a big deal, and these high school cla*smates of mine had heard about it and knew that we were not on good terms with each other.
Chu Xiaoxiao had long ago arranged for Chen Yuzhou and I to be placed separately, and although we were in the same cla*s, we were not at the same table.
Chen Yu Zhou said hello to a few people at our table, and then when he was about to go back, suddenly a man named Huang Hua at our table called out to Chen Yu Zhou as if he had a sudden realization.
“Brother Zhou, where are you going? The brothers are all here, don’t go, just sit down here.”
Chu Xiaoxiao happened to come from afar and was a bit dumbfounded to see this scene.
Chen Yu Zhou gave me a glance and laughed, “Don’t bother, the seats are all arranged, it’s troublesome to change. You guys eat and drink well, I’ll come over later to toast everyone, so give me some face.”
Chen Yu Zhou was a well-known rich kid in our cla*s when he was in high school, and these students were still hating on him, so how could he be allowed to leave at this time? When they heard him say that, they were not happy.
“No, no, Brother Zhou, you can’t leave, you sit, you sit, who cares who owns this seat, you sit and tell him to get lost.”
Although the words were directed at the man who hadn’t arrived yet, Huang Hua’s eyes were directed at me. The meaning was self-explanatory, Chen Yu Zhou and I did not deal with each other, so wasn’t I the one who should leave?
Lin Fang lowered her head and took a sip of water nervously, she was still a bit afraid of Chen Yuzhou, I held her hand obediently, but I didn’t expect her hand to shake so much.
I said soothingly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
I just pretended not to hear, unwrapped my chopsticks and ate a peanut rice in front of them.
Chen Yu Zhou and Huang Hua didn’t expect me to be so calm, they both froze for a moment, Chen Yu Zhou’s face looked a bit ugly on the spot, Huang Hua muttered a shame.
Huang Hua pressed Chen Yuzhou into position and poured him wine. The few who had been kissing Chen Yuzhou’s a*s before were even more eager to kiss Chen Yuzhou’s a*s at this time, saying nothing to let him go.
“Brother Zhou, even if you want to go, you shouldn’t be the one to go. You’re the big brother of our cla*s, we haven’t had a drink together for many years, how can you leave.”
“That’s right, some of those who don’t know any better, make way for yourself, don’t be disagreeable.”
Chen Yu Zhou was very comfortable with these words, looked at me and smiled, and said, “That’s not appropriate, is it?”
“What’s inappropriate? Besides, Fang Fang is still sitting here, can you leave our beauty Fang behind and go somewhere else to have a good time alone?”
“That’s right, you two used to be a couple, how about now, are you getting close? ”
“Oh, you two are so good together, hurry up and get married, don’t delay, get married sooner and let the kids play with the sauce sooner.”
“Hahahaha yeah, I don’t think you can find a second one in the whole Tong city who is more compatible with the big beauty Fang Fang.”
Everyone laughed loudly, all joking about Lin Fang and Chen Yu Zhou. I thought Lin Fang would retort, but I didn’t expect her to just look down at the water in her cup and not say anything. I felt a little bad, but on second thought, maybe Lin Fang was too scared. A man like Chen Yu Zhou is really a ghost. Lin Fang is just a weak woman, so it is normal for her to be afraid of him. In the future, I will definitely protect Lin Fang well.
