"Mr. Zhao! Phone" Li Shun said with a smile to Zhao Ziyue, showing his thumb. (There are only two things that Li Shun can give a thumbs up to about the rooftop apartment: answering the phone and turning on the lights.) "Where?" Zhao Ziyue asked. "Wei House, sir!" "Hello!...Ah? Yes! Yes!" Zhao Ziyue nodded and smiled, as if talking to someone face to face: "I must go, yes!...Ah? Good! See you later !” He waited until the earphones gurgled and clicked blue for a while, then looked at the small black charcoal on the earphones, and then hung it up with a smile.

He hurriedly put on his clothes.Having already walked out of the house, he went back to look in the mirror, straightened his hat, tugged at his collar, and went out again. ………… Those who went hurriedly came back quickly, Zhao Ziyue pouted and walked towards the apartment. "Old Wu! Old Wu!" Zhao Ziyue entered the apartment and shouted to Wu Duan. "Sir!" Li Shun hurriedly ran over and said, "Mr. Wu and Mr. Ouyang went to eat at Houmen Street. Please leave a message and ask Mr. to come back to them. Jin Laifeng returns to the hall!" "Li Shun! You don't talk! I You don't like it!" Zhao Ziyue saw Li Shun, and had a chance to lose heart.

"Hey!" Li Shun knew Zhao Ziyue's prestige, and he held his shoulders like a little water chicken and dared not speak again. "Call the kitchen to serve dinner! What kind of golden phoenix, silver phoenix, nonsense!" Zhao Zi said "Guang", opened the door and entered. "Hey! Ordinary meal, is it another one for Mr.?" Li Shun asked in a low voice. "Look at what the surname Zhao deserves to eat, and the surname Zhao can eat whatever he can afford! Don't talk to me, I tell you, Li Shun, you can't stand my fist!" "Hey!" "Why isn't Lao Zhao here yet?" Wu Duan said to Ouyang Tianfeng.

The two of them had been waiting at Jin Laifeng for forty or fifty minutes. "Let's order food!" Ouyang Tianfeng's stomach had been rumbling for a long time. "Old Zhao, huh! Probably with Ms. Wei—" At this point, he glanced at Wu Duan and swallowed the words again. "Okay, let's order food," Wu Duan called the waiter over, ordered three or four dishes, and then said to Ouyang Tianfeng: "He can't go out with her, he doesn't love her, she - too ugly! " "But who loves a good-looking one!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a half-smile. "Ouyang, I don't understand you!" Wu Duan said solemnly, "Since you know that pretty girls don't love him, why do you try to win Ms. Wang for him?" "Do you want Ms. Wang or not, old Wu?" Ouyang Tianfeng asked.

"I do not want!" "It's over! Lao Zhao wants her! If you want her, I dare to say something safe: Ms. Wang is your wife surnamed Wu! Do you understand?" Ouyang Tianfeng smiled, and then said: "I ask you, Why did you introduce Ms. Wei to Old Zhao?" Wu Duan nodded, picked up a piece of pickle and put it in his mouth. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let me ask you again first. Don't worry too much. What is the relationship between you and Ms. Wang?" The waiter brought up the two cold dishes, and Ouyang Tianfeng picked up the chopsticks and picked up two pieces of white chicken, put them in his mouth together, chewing and saying, "Tell me first, I'll tell you everything when I come back." Or else, let’s eat first, and we’ll talk after we’re done, okay?”

"Alright!" Butuan also picked up the chopsticks. Hot dishes followed suit.The two of them lowered their heads to pick up the meal, both had a bunch of things they didn't like to say, and at the same time, they both had a bunch of things they wanted to say.What the group wanted to say, both of them knew it was useless.If the group didn't like to say something, both of them knew that it was wrong not to say it.So the two chewed food in their mouths and thought in their hearts, trying to make the words they wanted to say as real and pleasant as the words they didn't like to say.This one glances at that, that one is chewing rice in his mouth; that one glances at this one, this one is picking up a piece of fatty meat, but this meat sandwich and that one's chewing rice seem to contain some elusive secrets.The eyes of the two sometimes meet, and they put a smile on each other's faces in a hurry, making each other feel that the deeper the smile lines on the face, the further apart the two hearts are.

Ouyang Tianfeng finished eating first, stood up to rinse his mouth, wiped his face, and slowly picked out a piece of betel nut from the small dish; although he didn't have the habit of eating betel nut on weekdays, it was better to chew it now than idle.Wu Duan also finished eating, and then ordered the waiter to heat up the soup, and picked toothpicks in all directions between his teeth.The two looked at each other: one chewed betel nuts, the other picked teeth, and smiled at each other. The soup was hot, Butuan tried to drink it spoonful by spoonful.Originally, there was no need to drink hot soup in hot weather, but I didn't force the waiter like this, I felt really stiff and flustered.He drank the soup and secretly glanced at Ouyang Tianfeng. Ouyang was looking at the British American Tobacco advertisement on the wall with his hands on his hips, humming Erhuang.

"Settle the score, buddy!" Wu Duan stood up and rubbed his chest, hiccupping two long and melodious. "Write on my account, and pay 20 cents outside!" "Why are you writing your account again?" Ouyang Tianfeng turned around and said with a smile. "Who we are and whom, do we still need to give way!" Wu Duan also smiled. "Let's go back and see if Lao Zhao is back, okay?" "Good! But we haven't finished our business yet?" "Let's go back to the apartment!" The two of them hugged each other affectionately, thinking coldly, and walked into the apartment.When they arrived at the apartment, they all went to No. 3 at the same time.Open the door and look: Zhao Ziyue is lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

"Wake up! Old Zhao!" Ouyang Tianfeng went to pull Zhao Ziyue's leg. "For disturbing my sleep, I can scold him!" Zhao Ziyue muttered with his eyes closed. "Dare you! Pull you down, believe it or not?" "Don't pay attention to me, Ouyang! Anyone who wants to live is not human!" Zhao Ziyue rubbed his eyes and said, acting like a baby just waking up. "What's the matter, Lao Zhao? Get up!" Wu Duan said. "Good old Wu, it was you! Almost killed!" Zhao Ziyue sat up listlessly. "how?" "What? I didn't bring a pistol this morning, otherwise, I would have shot that old bastard!" Zhao Ziyue said angrily.

"Okay! Lao Wu!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a smile: "Old Zhao has screwed up again!" "I tell you, Ouyang! If you are angry with me, don't say I'm in a hurry! Who screwed up?!" Zhao Ziyue was really angry, his whole black face became dull with anger, like a sick Indian. Ouyang Tianfeng immediately rolled up his smiling face, sat on the bed with his chin in one hand, and frowned solemnly. "Old Zhao!" Wu Duan straightened his back and said generously: "That road is dead, it doesn't matter, don't we have other paths! Don't have to drag He Xiangu to call you aunt!"

Zhao Ziyue nodded and said nothing. Wu Duan felt extremely uncomfortable, especially in front of Ouyang Tianfeng, and felt that Zhao Ziyue's failure was an extremely unbearable thing. Ouyang Tianfeng was very happy in his heart, but in his mouth he comforted Zhao Ziyue lightly, his eyes darted around Wu Duan. "Old Zhao! What's the matter? Tell me! Our surname Wu has a solution!" Wu Duan said to Zhao Ziyue with a yellow face, but his eyes were on Ouyang Tianfeng. "Damn it, I, Zhao Ziyue, have seen a lot of people, and there is no one as annoying as old man Wei!" Zhao Ziyue saw that Wu Duan was so angry that he couldn't talk anymore: "Needless to say anything else, with his hair A small goatee is like a traitor!" Wu Duan nodded, and Ouyang Tianfeng smiled slightly. Zhao Ziyue took off his coat, clenched his fists and said, "Look, when we met, he didn't say a word. He shook his head and asked me: 'Your Excellency, have you ever studied civil engineering?'——" "How did you answer?" Butuan asked. "'No!' said I. And he went on: 'Haven't you studied municipal affairs, but you want to work in the municipal council!'—" "Damn old clapper!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a smile. "Talk to you! Old Zhao!" Wu Duan followed and spat hard. "I just said, 'Not everyone who works in the Municipal Council understands municipal affairs.' Guess what he said: 'Huh! Otherwise, the Municipal Council would not be so bad!' I decided to give him a teacup , beat out the old man's bonus brains! Then think about who has the time to fight against the half-dead old 'Bo Erjian'! I also said well: 'The surname Zhao doesn't point to the city council to live, and we don't do anything. I have no food!' I said as I walked out, the old man sent me out, and I didn't look back, he froze in there!" …………
