Red wine Sprite small science long

  The waiter, wearing a white shirt and black waistcoat, flashed a professional smile as he went to arrange the red wine and soda for Director Ke. Meanwhile, Director Ke sat down, placing his leather briefcase on the chair beside him, and pulled out a Nokia phone and an unopened pack of Jin Nanjing cigarettes from his pants pocket, tossing them onto the table.

  Wang Yali enthusiastically introduced: "Fang Fei, this is my boyfriend Zhao Zhen, the section chief of the Land Bureau. Zhao Zhen, this is Fang Fei, my classmate from the Military Academy, now a nurse at the Municipal Hospital."

  Zhao Zhen looked up at Fang Fei, his eyes involuntarily lit up, and politely extended his hand: "Hello, Zhao Zhen."

  Fang Fei politely and lightly shook hands with Zhao Zhen, smiling slightly.

  Wang Yali glanced at Liu Ziguang and asked: "Fang Fei, why don't you introduce this handsome guy?"

  Fang Fei's face turned red as she hastily said, "This is my friend, Liu Ziguang."

  Liu Ziguang politely nodded: "Hello."

  "Where did Mr. Liu graduate from?" Zhao Zhen took out a pack of cigarettes and tore open the packaging.

  "I work as a security guard for a property company." Liu Ziguo replied.

  "Ah" Zhao Zhen Gang was about to hand over the cigarette without leaving any trace, he lit it himself and ignored Liu Zi Guang from then on.

  At this time, the waiter came over to take their order and politely reminded Zhao Zhen: "Sir, I'm sorry, but this is a non-smoking area."

  Zhao Zhen was furious and slapped the cigarette box, saying: "What attitude is this? Call your manager over!"

  The waitress looked embarrassed, and the shift leader happened to be nearby. She was an older woman who came over, apologized hastily, "Sorry, Director Zhao, she's new here, doesn't know you."

  Zhao Zhen finally stopped, muttering to himself: "Getting more and more outrageous." He flipped through the menu, ordering several very expensive dishes.

  "Australian lobster, French baked escargot, red wine rosemary roasted lamb chops, tuna mixed vegetables, Italian beef vegetable soup, and another Indian naan bread."

  Two people can't eat that much, but the service staff who had been scolded didn't dare to remind Zhao Zhen, and even less would remind him that seafood needs to be paired with dry white wine, instead they smiled professionally and walked away with the menu.

  Over there, Fang Wei also ordered: a red wine steak, a black pepper steak, vegetable salad, borscht, all today's special dishes, plus a bottle of very cheap Wuliang dry red.

  Wang Yali glanced at Fang Fei with a pleased expression and deliberately said loudly, "Zhao Zhen, you've ordered too much, it's so expensive."

  Zhao Zhen said, "No problem, I'll just add it to the entertainment expenses later. This time, Nantai County needs to approve land use, and it has to go through me." As he spoke, his arrogant gaze swept over Fang Wei's body, then glanced at Liu Ziguo, seemingly puzzled that Fang Wei, with her top-notch figure and looks, had ended up with a security guard as her boyfriend.

  The dishes came up quickly, Zhao Zhen opened the pull ring of the Sprite can with a handsome gesture, "pa" sound, white foam overflowed, he poured Sprite into the red wine glass and lightly touched Wang Yali, saying elegantly: "Die for you."

  A voice came from over there: "Waiter, bring me a pair of chopsticks."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen and Wang Yali simultaneously revealed a scornful smile. Zhao Zhen leaned over and whispered, "I have a friend who wants to find a nurse as his girlfriend. Can you arrange it? Fang Fei will do."

  Wang Yali also said in a low voice: "Okay, watch me."

  ……

  Zhao Zhenxian skillfully and professionally wielded his knife and fork, crunching away at the Australian lobster, occasionally raising his highball glass for a toast with Wang Yali. The two would occasionally whisper to each other, then burst into loud laughter as if no one was around. The restaurant's waitstaff seemed to have already grown accustomed to Director Zhao's unique style, and didn't bat an eye.

  It was Fang Fei who felt a bit uncomfortable, occasionally glancing at Zhao Zhen, looking like he couldn't finish his meal. Liu Ziguo, on the other hand, didn't care and quickly finished his black pepper steak. Seeing that Liu looked unsatisfied, Fang Fei hurriedly used his fork to pass over some of his own well-done red wine steak: "You eat."

  Liu Ziguang took it without hesitation and ate it, provoking a burst of stifled laughter from Wang Yali.

  Both sides almost finished eating at the same time. Zhao Zhen shouted: "Put it on the Land Bureau's account." He also winked at Wang Yali.

  Wang Yali said: "Fang Fei, old classmate, long time no see, why don't we go to the bar and have some fun."

  "Great, I've never been to a bar before, they say it's fun." But suddenly pouted: "Forget it, I shouldn't be home too late."

  "It's okay, just play around and we can head back home after 9 pm. Zhao Zhen's friends all have cars."

  Fang Fei pulled Liu Ziguang's arm: "Do you have time? Let's go to the bar and have some fun."

  Wang Yali hastily said: "If your friend is busy, then don't go. Their security guards all have to work night shifts."

  This remark actually implied that Liu Ziguang was unwelcome, but Liu Ziguang said unapologetically: "It's okay, I have plenty of time."

  Zhao Zhen was somewhat displeased and puffed on his cigarette without saying a word.

  After settling the bill, the four of them went downstairs. Zhao Zhen made a phone call, and within five minutes, a shiny black Santana 3000 pulled up. The driver was a young man with a pale face, smoking a cigarette in one hand and holding his mobile phone in the other, without wearing a seatbelt, with a very cool expression on his face.

  "I'm going to pick up a few friends, that's all." White Face finished the phone call and nodded at Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen smiled and greeted him: "Director Liang is abroad on an inspection trip, so you're free for the next few days." He then turned to introduce Wang Yali: "This is my buddy, Liu Zhuo, the driver of our city's Finance Bureau Deputy Director Liang."

  "Zhao Zhen, is this your horse?" Then, a pair of eyes stared straight at Fang Yan and asked, "Is this your friend?"

  Zhao Zhen gave a mysterious wink and said, "We're all friends, let's go, hurry up to the bar, or there won't be any seats left."

  On the passenger seat of Santana, a heavily made-up woman sat with her head buried in playing with her mobile phone and sending text messages, just seeing a huge earring swaying.

  There were already two people in the car, and three more in the back row would be full. After Zhao Zhen and Wang Yali got in, they didn't show any intention of squeezing in further. When Fang Fei got in, there was no empty space left.

  "Fang Fei, it's great to see you again, old classmate. You're enough, or else I'll have your friend leave first." Wang Yali said politely.

  "Never mind, I won't go." Fang Xi got out of the car and said softly.

  "Cough, what's up with you guys, just get another car." Zhao Zhenmin made a sharp discovery that the white-faced driver seemed to be quite concerned about Fang Xi, while Fang Xi didn't want to leave Liu Ziguo behind, so he could only compromise and bring Liu Ziguo along. Anyway, it would be more effective to let him make a fool of himself later.

  Upon hearing the words "hailing a cab", Fang Meng proudly said: "No need, we have a car."

  Then, Liu Ziguang walked to the roadside in full view of everyone, opened the chain lock and pushed out his heavily loaded bicycle.

  Fang Fei ran over, jumped onto the second-class seat and sat down on the bicycle. Santana's eyes fell to the ground, everyone was stunned, this is too crazy, the little girl looked quite smart, but what she did was so stupid, it was just a security guard...

  Liu Zhuo muttered a curse that only he could hear: "Damn it!" He was furious and stepped on the accelerator, the Santana sped away. Wang Yali stuck her head out and shouted: "1912, we're waiting for you!"

  Liu Ziguang asked Fang Fei: "Do you really want to go?"

  Fang Fei nodded, a look of yearning on her face: "Yeah, I've heard that 1912 is really fun. They're having a DJ from Nanjing, and all the people from our hospital have been there except for me. When we chat, I don't have anything to talk about with them, plus my old classmate will be there... actually, if you don't want to go, I won't go either. We can just find somewhere to sit and hang out."

  Fang Fei is a well-behaved child, so Liu Ziguang didn't want to disappoint her and said: "Actually I also want to go take a look."

  "Great, let's go, you take me." As he spoke, Fang Fei actually jumped down from the back seat and climbed onto the bicycle's crossbar under Liu Ziguang's astonished gaze.

  Fang Fei's head is very high, at least 1.7 meters tall, fortunately it's a big car of 2.8 meters, otherwise it would be really cramped to sit in.

  "Sit here? Aren't you afraid of being squeezed?" Liu Ziguang asked in surprise.

  "It doesn't matter, when I was a kid, my dad used to take me like this, never mind, let's hurry up."

  Liu Ziguang shook his head helplessly, swung his leg over the bicycle and sped away down a small alley.

  Today is the weekend, there are many people and cars on the road, the main roads are congested like a long dragon, drivers are impatiently honking their horns, the sound of car horns is deafening, making people even more annoyed.

  At the same time, a bicycle was swiftly speeding out of the alley, its bell ringing crisply and melodiously. Fang Fei sat on the crossbar like a child, her two hands grasping the middle of the handlebars, letting the wind in the alley blow her hair up. Liu Ziguang rode very fast, this bike having been modified by Old Man Guo with added disc brakes, which worked extremely well. The journey was smooth and uneventful, with only Fang Fei's laughter echoing along the way.

  When they arrived at the 1912 bar, Zhao Zhen and others had not yet arrived. This is a famous bar located near the pedestrian street in Jiangbei City. The facade decoration is very exaggerated and luxurious, much higher than Sun Wei's Sugar Bar. Just by looking at the cars parked at the entrance, you can tell that an Audi TT and a BMW Z4 represent the grade and taste of 1912. As for other brands such as Buick Regal, Skoda, and Audi A6, they are even more common.

  In short, most of the people who came to consume in 1912 drove here. It was just after dinner time, and the security guards in the parking lot were busy arranging for one luxury car after another to park. In addition, taxis arrived one after another, and some modern women wearing revealing clothes got out of the taxis with small bags in hand, without looking around, and walked into 1912, it's unknown what profession they are in.

  Liu Ziguang parked the car and waited with Fang Fei at the entrance. A tobacco vendor happened to walk over, holding a wooden box full of cigarettes, looking like it was her first time doing business, and hesitated to call out to sell. Liu Ziguang saw that the aunt's clothes were very familiar, they were the work uniforms from the Hongqi Steel Factory in the 80s, his mother also had one just like it, so this aunt must have been a colleague of his mother's.

  Liu Ziguang knew the hardships of laid-off workers, so he took out five yuan and bought a four-yuan Zhongnanhai cigarette pack and a plastic lighter. Auntie made her first deal, gratefully nodding at Liu Ziguang.

  After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Santana driven by Zhao Zhen finally arrived at the destination. The entrance of the bar was already packed with cars, so they parked their car nearby and walked into 1912.

  Luckily, some friends had arrived earlier and occupied the seats, so everyone had a place to sit. A few young men of similar age sat at the table drinking beer, greeting Zhao Zhen and Liu Zhuo as they approached. Zhao Zhen introduced them: "This is Xiao Bin from the Planning Bureau, this is Xiao Yang from the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, and this is Xiao Guo from the Municipal Committee."

  When introducing themselves, they would say it to Wang Yali on the surface, but in fact, they were saying it to Fang Fei. These young masters couldn't help but reveal a hint of arrogance when Zhao Zhen introduced them.

  "This is my girlfriend Wang Yali, and this is her classmate Fang Mei, from the Municipal Hospital." Zhao Zhen basically selectively ignored Liu Ziguo, inviting everyone to sit down and arranging drinks for the ladies, busy as can be.

  Finally settled, several people started talking loudly, saying some gossip about the government, which director will be promoted, which secretary will be demoted. When mentioning people, they usually don't say specific names, but use surnames to represent them. Anyway, everyone is familiar with the official circle and understands it very well.

  "Director Wu of the Municipal Finance Bureau is about to retire, among the four deputy directors, Liang has the most hope. This time going to Europe and America for inspection is a clear evidence that the city attaches great importance to him." Zhao said with a smile, then patted Liu Zhuo's shoulder: "Director Liang is still young, highly educated, and will definitely be promoted in a few years. At that time, you can also rise with the tide, and arranging a department head in the district bureau is not a problem."

  Liu Zhuo waved his hand: "Not interesting, my old man doesn't want me to get into politics." As he spoke, he inadvertently swept a glance at Fang Wei, with a cool expression on his face, but unfortunately, Fang Wei didn't look this way at all.

  On the side, Wang Yali whispered in Fang Wei's ear: "Fang Wei, Liu Zhuo's father was a section chief of the former municipal personnel bureau, he has some connections, why not ask him to pull some strings and get you a job transfer."

  Fang Fei smiled faintly: "Mm, thank you."

  Wang Yali was not convinced, sneaked a glance at Liu Ziguang and continued: "Fang Xi, you have such good conditions, how could you find a security guard as your boyfriend? Look at Liu Zhuo, his family has three houses, he works in the government agency, drives for the leader, with boundless prospects. Honestly speaking, Liu Zhuo quite likes you, wants to be friends with you."

  Fang Fei was somewhat displeased, but out of politeness did not show it, and instead casually said: "Let's talk about it later, I've never been to 1912 anyway."

  Wang Yali reluctantly walked over to the other side, leaned against Zhao Zhen's ear and whispered something. Zhao Zhen's eyebrows also furrowed, and several men turned their heads to look at Liu Ziguo together.

  Liu Ziguang wore an out-of-style bomber jacket, sitting stupidly on the edge of the sofa with his hands empty, watching the men and women dancing in the ballroom with a curious expression, looking like a country bumpkin.

  Those handsome guys are really something, they can pick up chicks with just this kind of attitude, and yet they don't even give Liu Zhuo a second glance, it's quite stimulating for these young civil servants.

  "Liu Zhuo, you go invite Fang Fei to dance, we'll go chat with him." Zhao Zhen instructed.

  Liu Zhuo stood up, shook his hair and went to invite Fang Fei to dance. Fang Fei politely declined, saying she wanted to sit for a while longer. Wang Yali saw the situation and hurried over to mediate, and after much persuasion, finally convinced Fang Fei, and the three of them went down to dance together.

  Zhao Zhen held a beer bottle and walked to Liu Ziguo's side with several younger brothers, surrounding him, but Liu Ziguo seemed to treat them as air, not even giving them a glance, only shaking his head and following the music to beat the rhythm, which made Zhao Zhen angry.

  "What's your name again, Niu Ziguang or something? I want to talk to you about something." Zhao Zhen said as he sat down in front of Liu Ziguo.

  "Go on your way." Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand and pushed Zhao Zhen away.

  "My brother is watching TV and has no time to bother with you."
