Chapter 71: Should I lift my sword or my buttocks?
To be precise, there should be two missing, but Director Li is a cunning old fox, so he naturally didn't count Zhao Yuan.
"Zheng Yu has some family matters to attend to and can't come."
Yu Huan explained it in a light and casual manner.
He then picked up a large box of coconut juice, filled it for Xu Fei and Sister Li on either side, and poured himself a glass.
He gestured to the group and said, "Those who want to drink, please feel free!"
Director Li is a teetotaler, but he's already picked up his hot pot chopsticks and started cooking beef.
The meat slices were cut very thinly, and they were cooked through in less than ten seconds.
Roll it in satay sauce, put it in your mouth and chew it gently, and you can feel the delicate and delicious texture of the meat. It is tender and juicy, and it seems to melt on your tongue with every bite.
Only Wang Zhi was shouting: "Come on, who wants to drink two bottles with me? Wei Quan! Chen Xi! Wang Fei! Ye Jianxue—"
Seeing this, Yu Huan waved her hand to interrupt his spellcasting: "Wang Zhi, you shouldn't urge others to drink more!"
"Okay, Brother Yu." Wang Zhi scratched his head. "I was just asking!"
The worst thing at a workplace dinner is when a boss says, "If you don't drink, you're disrespecting me," and then uses psychological manipulation tactics to force subordinates to drink in order to show their authority.
However, these two leaders neither drink alcohol, nor smoke or chew betel nuts, and they don't really show off their hobbies.
Wang Zhi's assessment is that he is not good at flattery.
Fortunately, both leaders were quite approachable and didn't put on airs, making them rare and good leaders.
Yu Huan laughed and said, "Eat and drink as you please, everyone! Don't be shy!"
"I can have a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor)," Wei Quan said with a smile.
Ye Jianxue thought for a moment and said, "I can only drink beer, so I'll have two bottles with Wang Zhi!"
He used to be a colleague of Wang Zhi in the photography department, and now he is in charge of the art department's work on his own.
Everyone toasted and exchanged drinks.
A few moments.
Director Li suddenly stood up with a glass of water in his hand.
If it weren't for the wisps of steam still rising from the rim of the cup, the experience would be truly perfect.
"Let's all raise a toast to Chen Yaoyao, Wei Quan, and Chen Xi! They've been working tirelessly on weekends, putting in extra hours! Let's drink to these three!"
When her name was called, Chen Yaoyao felt a little embarrassed, so she pulled out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and stood up with everyone else.
"A toast to the three of you!" Yu Huan raised her coconut juice.
The glasses touched each other, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.
After sitting down.
Yu Huan had just taken a few bites of beef tenderloin when her phone, which was on the table, vibrated, showing a text message.
He glanced down and discovered it was a payment notification from China Construction Bank.
I swiped my left fingertip to unlock the phone, tapped the message screen, and checked the details.
It starts with a 3, followed by a long string of zeros.
I counted each character.
Three hundred thousand!
The transferor is listed as Yu Jun.
Yu Huan knew it all too well; it was his father's name.
Yu Huan hadn't said anything since he'd previously promised her 500,000 yuan for decorating their wedding home. Was this a down payment of 300,000 yuan?
He immediately put down his chopsticks, grabbed his phone, and hurriedly got up.
Chen Yaoyao and Sister Li, who had taken the initiative to sit on either side of him, looked at him curiously.
Yu Huan smiled and pretended to be busy, then strolled to the bathroom and made a phone call to Lao Yu.
"Hey Dad, you just transferred 300,000 to me?"
"Yes, the bank is about to close. I just finished processing it. Did you receive it?"
"Received it, Dad." Yu Huan paused, then asked, "Do you and Mom have any money left?"
“What are you thinking! This 300,000 only emptied my wallet. We have three wallets in our family: your mother has more, and your grandfather has more…”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan smiled and said, "I won't worry about the old man's pension."
"Don't worry about it! He opened a bank account himself, saying he deposited some money for you to get married!"
“I do know about this.” Yu Huan stroked his chin. He vividly remembered the scene when the old man tremblingly stuffed a bank card into his hand when he was thirty years old during his second life.
"I'm not going to say any more to you. I'll have your mom transfer the remaining 200,000 to you in a while."
Yu Huan hesitated for a moment: "Actually, it's not necessary..."
"You don't need anything? This is for you and You Rong to use to decorate your wedding room! You'd better use it carefully."
"Dad, I know, every single penny will definitely be spent on the renovation!"
“You’re such a grown-up, you don’t need me to teach you many things.”
"Okay, Dad, I'll hang up now."
“You hang up, I still have to ride my bike to buy your mom a lotus leaf chicken.”
"Oh, goodbye, Dad."
Yu Huan hung up the phone and shook her head with a sigh.
After rinsing off the water, we returned to the private room.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After finishing their hotpot meal, the group split into twos and threes and prepared to walk to Windsor KTV.
It's only a ten-minute walk there.
Faced with Yu Huan's sincere invitation, Director Li hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm getting old, and I'm not as enthusiastic about noisy places like KTV as I was when I was young. Staying there for too long gives me a headache. I won't go."
"Uncle Li, you're really not going?"
"Yes, the funding is sufficient. As long as you young people are happy."
Director Li is in his late fifties, with frail arms and legs, and he really can't get along with them.
Yu Huan didn't insist. After going downstairs with Director Li, they parted ways. When they went directly to Suning across the street, Yu Huan noticed that Chen Xi had also followed them.
"Brother Yu, where are you going?" Chen Xi quickened his pace and walked alongside him.
Yu Huan laughed and said, "Let's go to Suning and look at laptops."
"Oh."
Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully.
The two walked briskly up the densely packed staircases and entered the Suning Appliance Mall.
These days, when consumers buy home appliances and digital products, they still prefer large offline retailers like Suning or Gome. Mainly because they can see and touch the products.
The venue was bustling with people.
The first area they noticed was the mobile phone exhibition area.
Digital products are usually placed together; near a mobile phone store, there are definitely laptops.
Yu Huan turned her head and looked around, immediately spotting the laptop display area.
Chen Xi didn't say much, and Yu Huan was happy to have some peace and quiet.
He looked left and right, and finally stopped in front of HP's counter.
A young man wearing frameless glasses approached, smiling, and asked, "What would you two like to do?"
"We're just looking around," Yu Huan waved her hand.
Seeing this, the young man didn't say anything more and stood to the side playing on his phone.
The laptop counter looks like this: many people look, but few buy. There are also frequent groups of elementary school students who sneak in to play with the display units.
After slowly pacing around and looking at the various models, Yu Huan finally settled on the HP G6.
It has a 15.6-inch screen, a Core i5 2450M CPU, and a 750GB hard drive. The configuration and price are both very good, only 4600.
Chen Xi glanced at Yu Huan's appreciative gaze, then whispered to him, "Brother Yu, my brother owns a computer shop in Huahai Computer City."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan raised an eyebrow: "My own brother?"
In almost every computer-related forum, there's a classic question: Should you lift your knife or your buttocks?
If you get tricked, of course you'll draw your knife; if you don't get tricked, you'll repay the favor by offering your buttocks.
Of course, most of the time they will be taken advantage of by people they know well.
