46 Banquet (this is the only chapter)
This is the night when Zhang Tianyou slept the sweetest night. Since Xiao Chen left Nanjing, Zhang Tianyou has never slept so soundly. Tonight, Ghost Chou came back. The person Zhang Tianyou has been missing finally came back. Even in his sleep, the eight-year-old child often said "Ghost Shou", Xiao The joy that dust brought to Nanjing to Zhang Tianyou can't be replaced by anything.
Children can sleep peacefully, while adults are not so naive. Four men can't sleep in a two-person dormitory. Two narrow beds are not enough to accommodate the bodies of four mature men. So the four men sit around and start playing cards.
In the middle of the card, Lin Ruohai looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Eagle, I'm sorry. I crossed the hotel." The bankruptcy of the Eagle Strike Changkong Hotel has always been an immutable hurdle in Lin Ruohai's heart. Lin Ruohai, a bold man, has now become a little twisted, like a woman.
"Sea, why are you telling me this? Do you think I care?" Xiao Chen said with a careless smile after playing a card. Of course, Xiao Chen will not blame Lin Ruohai. Lin Ruohai is a brother who grew up with him and has lived together for more than ten years. Although he has moved less in recent years, how can the relationship between the two be replaced by a hotel? Even if this hotel has hundreds of millions of assets.
Several people continued to play cards and chatted about their feelings.
"Brother Eagle, why did you suddenly go back to Nanjing? Didn't you ask the wood to tell us that you were going for a year when you left? Lin Ruohai looked at Xiao Chen puzzledly and asked. He really didn't understand why his brother Ying suddenly returned to Nanjing.
"The wind and sand in the north is strong. The weather is dry, and there is no moisture in Nanjing." Xiao Chen said jokingly.
Lin Ruohai seemed to remember something. He suddenly put down the card in his hand, got up and walked to the desk and began to look for it. After a while, Lin Ruohai finally found the 100,000 yuan check that Xiao Chen asked Fang Yan to bring when he left. He carefully put it in front of Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Ying, although I, Lin Ruohai, have no ability to help you manage the hotel, I have always kept this check for you. I know you are not a money lover, but this world is different from another village. Everything outside has nothing to do with money."
After picking up the check and looking at it for a while, Xiao Chen couldn't help thinking of the scene of extorting Luo Han with Zhang Qiuling in the Haihuang Pavilion. Yes, 100,000 yuan is really not enough for a rich and powerful second generation. Their consumption in one night may exceed this amount, but this money is really true for Xiao Chen since he grew up. The most amount I've ever seen is exactly 100,000 yuan. How many fish and how many traditional Chinese medicine do I have to dig in another village to make up this amount? If I had this money a year ago, my aunt Xiao Qiu's condition might have been effectively treated.
Xiao Chen handed the check to Lin Ruohai with a smile and said, "Let's withdraw the money tomorrow and buy two beds. We can't stay up late to play cards every day."
Several men couldn't help smiling and continued to play cards.
It's time to see Zhou Bo tomorrow. I left Nanjing and didn't talk to him. When I returned to Nanjing, I should always talk to him. Anyway, I am also his student. Respecting my teacher is the truth taught by the old man. Moreover, Zhou Bo has always been good to himself. Xiao Chen thought in his heart.
Four men played cards all night, and their eyes were a little red and swollen. Although they were still young and strong, they were 20 years old, especially Wang Gui. At dawn, they said that they couldn't do it and fell asleep next to Zhang Tianyou.
After washing up, Xiao Chen, Lin Ruohai and Li San ran to the canteen for breakfast and parted ways. Xiao Chen went directly to the history department of Nanjing University, and Lin Ruohai took Li San to the bank in the city to withdraw money and bought two folding beds.
Because it was still early, the door of the graduate office of the Department of Archaeology was still closed. Xiao Chen squatted in the aisle and began to smoke. There were only two graduate students in the whole Department of Archaeology, himself and Lin Feng. It was really strange to say it. I don't know what Zhou Bo thought. The professor didn't want to be full of students all over the world, but this However, the test of the graduate students in the Department of Archaeology is very strict, and it can't be done after the test. This man has to have an interview. As long as he looks unhappy, he doesn't want it all. It's interesting to imagine Xiao Chen's serious face this week.
"Xiao Chen?" Lin Feng looked at the cringy back on the aisle and asked.
"Lin Feng?" After Xiao Chen got up, he turned his head with a smile and looked at Lin Feng with an incredible face.
Lin Feng rushed up with an arrow step, punched Xiao Chen twice in his chest, and scolded with a smile, "You are really conscienceless. You don't say anything when you leave, and there is no news when you come back. I originally planned to go to Harbin to find you." After saying that, he hugged Xiao Chen tightly. Lin Feng had no friends in his life. Even his brother had never said anything superfluous. Xiao Chen may be the only person he fell in love with.
The two people squatted in the aisle and smoked and chatted. Most of them talked about what happened after Xiao Chen went to the north. It was not until Zhou Bo's arrival that the two men ended the conversation.
"Are you back?" Zhou Bo went to the two men and looked at Xiao Chen and smiled slightly. There was no special excitement or other expression in his expression, but this smile was enough. Zhou Bo was originally a person who did not show his expression. He asked him to shout like Zhang Tianyou to welcome Xiao Chen, which was actually more than killing him. Single.
After saying that, he opened the door of the Department of Archaeology, and three men filed in.
Xiao Chen then looked at his teacher and said with a smile, "It's better to be Nanjing. It's better to be a good person and a better place."
"Don't leave without saying goodbye this time. In this way, the Archaeology Department of Nanjing University will no longer welcome you." Zhou Bo sat in his chair and looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile. Although the old man said this jokingly, how could Xiao Chen not understand the old man's deep meaning to him?
Xiao Chen nodded and agreed, and by the way, he told the situation of his dormitory. After all, this is the campus of Nanjing University, which belongs to the assets of the country. It is not what he wants. After saying it, he will feel more at ease.
"Oh? There are actually five people living in the dormitory of two people? Zhou Bo frowned and said, after thinking for a while, he said slowly, "Well, I'll ask Lin Feng to take you to a bigger dormitory. It's too crowded for the five of you."
Xiao Chen immediately replied, "Mr. Zhou, I don't need to change the dormitory. Anyway, I also lived in that dormitory for a period of time. I have feelings and don't want to change. I just told you a few things about them just now is to ask for your consent, otherwise it's a little unsteady for me to live like this."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhou Bo suddenly became silent. Who else in this world doesn't want to change to a better residence? But this man is so different that he has to squeeze in the double bedroom.
Lin Feng didn't say anything. The idea of whether he should give Xiao Chen a three-bedroom apartment had long been strangled in the cradle. Lin Feng knew that the young man in front of him was not only a stubborn person, but also a person who could not be speculated by common sense.
In the evening, Lin Feng drove a land cruiser with the five people in the dormitory of Chunhua Building and his teacher Zhou Bo to a high-end restaurant in Nanjing.
Zhou Bo at the dinner table looked at Zhang Tianyou next to Xiao Chen and asked with a smile, "Child, what's your name?" How old are you this year?
Zhang Tianyou's big eyes stared at the old man not far away after taking a look at Xiao Chen and answered, "Zhang Tianyou, eight years old this year." Zhang Tianyou knew in Xiao Chen's mouth that this old man was a ghostly teacher. He must answer his questions by himself, otherwise he would be sorry for ghostly.
"I heard that you often bully your classmates at school?" Zhou Bo joked that the old man just felt that he should not be kind after seeing the child, and unconsciously joked.
The rest of the people looked at the conversation between the old and the young with a smile.
After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Tianyou couldn't help but remember the big disaster he had caused for Xiao Chen when he first came to Nanjing. Although he didn't say anything to himself, Zhang Tianyou already understood some things, so after that fight, Zhang Tianyou vowed that he would never cause trouble for Xiao Chen again, and it was also from that time. He became taciturn in his class. Even if other children bullied him, Zhang Tianyou never fought back, for fear of bringing great trouble to Xiao Chentian again.
"I won't fight with other children." After half a silence, Zhang Tianyou suddenly said oldly that the seriousness in his tone can be easily seen as long as he is a normal person.
"Good boy, come to Grandpa." Zhou Bo waved to Zhang Tianyou and smiled.
Listening to what Zhang Tianyou said, Xiao Chen suddenly rushed to a burst of sadness. Tianyou was just a child. It was the age of Chenghuan's parents to enjoy the family, but his heart was too mature enough to make his heart hurt.
Lin Feng has never dared to drink it since he drank a few catties of liquor at Liu Ji's stall and Xiao Chen. Today, he feels nauseous when he smells the liquor. However, today it is inevitable to drink liquor at this banquet, so he has to force the waiter to take out three bottles of Maotai.
The six men and a child at the dinner table are all immortals in wine except for Lin Feng, especially Lin Ruohai. He has already reached the state of no wine. Looking at the Maotai brought by the waiter, a smile appeared in Lin Ruohai's eyes, a very happy smile.
There are two ways to drink wine, one is to use wine to relieve sorrow, and the other is to use wine to cheer up. Obviously, this time it is the latter.
Lin Feng didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. Although he was not good at drinking, he still filled the cup in front of him and had a rare meeting with these people. Although half of the people did not know each other, Lin Feng knew from their simple and cheerful laughter that these were characters who could fall in love with each other. Maybe they were not worth it now. It's just the lowest level of society, but what about the future? In the future, no one may know that one chance can make them go up to three thousand miles. What they lack is just a chance to get a superior position. The ambition in their eyes can't be concealed, especially Xiao Chen.
Lin Ruohai talked a lot after a few glasses of wine. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Ying, although you didn't say anything about the bankruptcy of the Eagle Strike Changkong Hotel, I can't get through this hurdle in my heart. Come on, Brother Ying, brother, I'll give you a toast.
Xiao Chen smiled and did it with Lin Ruohai.
Lin Ruohai continued to say, "It's all about that black warrior's fault. Damn it. I thought he had some great ability, but I didn't expect to cross a good hotel just a month after he came to the hotel. If the wood hadn't stopped me, I would have taken off his arm. However, later, I thought that the method of wood was still right. I blamed myself. Who said that I was incompetent? If I could study well when I was a child, I wouldn't have buried a hotel that God showed mercy to me. Lin Ruohai paused for a moment and spewed out a breath of wine. He stood up and looked at Zhang Tianyou hiccuping and said, "Kid, you can't learn from me. You must study hard, and you won't even find a decent job in the future."
"You drank too much." Xiao Chen smiled and pressed Lin Ruohai back to his seat.
"Brother Eagle, you don't know that Brother Hai and I have been talking about I'm sorry for working on the construction site these days." The little mouse Li San interrupted in a timely manner. Lin Ruohai and Li San have been working as small workers on a construction site in Nanjing since the bankruptcy of the Eagle Changkong Hotel. The treatment is not bad, 100 yuan a day. Although the work is a little tiring, it is faster than some white-collar workers squatting in the office to make money.
"This guy." Xiao Chen looked at Lin Ruohai and scolded with a smile. Xiao Chen and Lin Ruohai's relationship can't be compared with anyone here. This is a pure brotherly relationship. It's not a brother. It's better than a brother. Even Zhang Tianyou can't compare it. It's a relationship cultivated after 18 years. Otherwise, how could Lin Ruohai leave Brother Pao and leave Sichuan and die in Nanjing? Question mark Lin Ruohai is righteous. How could Xiao Chen be dissatisfied with him because of a hotel? Xiao Chen patted Lin Ruohai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Dai, don't mention the hotel in the future. As long as our brothers can get together, it's a great fate. I haven't seen those things outside the body yet."
The three bottles of Maotai just now had been drunk long ago. Lin Feng saw that everyone had not had enough fun and asked the waiter to take three more bottles of Wuliangye.
"Brother Eagle." Lin Ruohai drank and suddenly hugged Xiao Chen and cried like a child. How could the distress and grievance in his heart be explained in a few words?
"Come on, come on, drink. Today is a happy day. It's a good day for us to pick up Xiao Chen and Wang Gui. Why are you crying or not a man? There are still children here. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by him?" Lin Feng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.
Zhou Bo also drank too much tonight and echoed Lin Feng's words and said, "Lin Feng is right. Today is a happy day. We won't get drunk or go home. Although I am Xiao Chen's mentor, I have never accepted many students in my life. I treat Xiao Chen like my own son. Of course, this is a joke. The only regret in my life is that I didn't marry a wife and have a son. Look at me, my words are a little confused. What I mean is that people don't go out with me, and don't be restrained because I'm there. Zhou Bo's tongue kept trembling when he said this. He was not a person with alcohol. Although he learned to be rich, what he said after three glasses of wine was like a child.
I ate a meal for more than four hours without impatience. Although I cried and laughed, everyone was in a good mood. It was already past 11 o'clock when he returned to Nanjing University, and the school gate had been closed for a long time. Lin Feng got out of the car and negotiated with the old man Li who was watching the gate, but the stubborn old man resolutely refused to open the door, saying that this was the school's rule. After 11 o'clock, he would never let anyone enter the school again.
Zhou Bo, who was sitting in the car, became popular as soon as he heard it. Isn't he late when he came back from dinner with two students? Do you, an old jandarling dare to push back? He pushed the door and rushed to Old Li. He grabbed Old Li's thin arm without mercy, looked at each other angrily, and shouted, "Old Li, how dare you not let me in?"
Several people in the car laughed. It turned out that the calm Zhou Bo actually had such a side. Who said that people are old and refined? Who says it's good to have a good temper when you are old? Zhou Bo gave everyone a vivid lesson.
Old man Li has been looking at the door for nearly ten years. The teachers and professors of Nanjing University also know him. When he saw that the old man holding his arm turned out to be Zhou Bo, he suddenly panicked. He knew that this old man was a person who could not be provoked on the campus of Nanjing University. Although he was nominally a professor from Nanjing University, his status was not comparable to that of the school. Although he thinks so in his heart, Mr. Li himself is a very stubborn person. Although he knows that the old man in front of him who is not much younger than him is a big man in Nanjing University, he still refuses to open the door without saying anything.
Zhou Bo suddenly jumped like thunder. What the hell? This old guy actually got into a fight with himself. Didn't he mean to make a fool of himself in front of a group of young people behind him? He took out his mobile phone and called Wu Zhehong, the principal of Nanjing University.
Wu Zhehong was reading the documents in the study. He heard the mobile phone ring. He picked it up and found that it was Zhou Bo who called. Suddenly, a hesitant look appeared on his face. There must be nothing good for the old man to call him in the middle of the night. He answered the phone in his mood and laughed, "Lao Zhou, I haven't rested so late. What is it?
"Take a break!" As soon as Zhou Bo heard the other party's words, he got angry. He stayed in front of the gate for ten minutes and was blocked by the old man. He continued to say dissatisfiedly on the phone, "Wu Boss, have you set any rules that you can't enter school at eleven o'clock?"
Wu Zhehong knew it was bad as soon as he heard it. He even shouted out Boss Wu. This was also the nickname that Zhou Bo and his group of people helped him when he was studying. Zhou Bo has not shouted for so many years. He asked cautiously on the phone, "Lao Zhou, where are you now? Why are you on such a fire? Isn't it just that you are not allowed to enter school at eleven o'clock? You didn't object when you set this rule at the beginning.
"Big Boss Wu, I'm against it now. Hurry up and ask the old doorman to open the door for me, or we won't be finished." Zhou Bo said angrily.
Several people in the car suddenly became happy. Zhou Bo doesn't have the majesty of an elder now. He is clearly a child.
Only then did Wu Zhehong understand a little. I'm afraid that his former classmate's current colleague was locked outside the school. While scolding Mr. Li for being ignorant, he hung up the phone and dialed the school duty room.
Because of the episode that night, the rule of not being allowed to enter the school after 11 o'clock in Nanjing University was completely abolished. Countless South University students clapped their hands and cheered, but they didn't know who was the hero who made this matter, otherwise they must go to worship.
