Chapter 1783: Drinking buddies are unreliable!
[I resigned from the company and felt tired of the hectic pace of Beijing, so I planned to return to my hometown to develop. ]

Shen Lei briefly described the process to his sister.

"Oh~" Shen Lin sighed.

Murmured: "What is going on~"

[Xiaolei, don't worry, I'll introduce you to something better later! ]

Oops~

Hearing this, Shen Lei's head suddenly became heavy. Thinking about entering the life of blind dates again, he felt a little uneasy.

Hurry up and stop procrastinating.

[Sister, let’s stop for a while. The New Year is coming soon. There’s no rush for blind dates~]

Shen Lin was helpless, but she also knew that she couldn't push too hard.

So the blind date was put on hold for the time being, and Shen Lei briefly enjoyed a peaceful life, except that he would occasionally receive calls from his mother in his hometown urging him to get married.

The New Year holiday is about to begin, and some things can't be put off any longer. After work that day, Shen Lei organized a party and invited a few friends to have barbecue with Ji Wu.

What is Wu Chi?
To put it simply, it is grilled meat. In layman's terms, it is a large iron plate on which raw meat is fried. Because of the bold way of eating it, it is named "wuchi".

Shichahai "Barbecue Season" is just a stone's throw away from Yinding Mountain, one of the Eight Small Scenic Spots in Beijing.

Shen Lei and a few others were sitting around a large round table, holding bowls and dishes in one hand and long chopsticks in the other.

As the saying goes, "eat vigorously", your feet must be placed on the bench.

It is definitely a pleasure to have such a meal in winter. It makes you feel more comfortable all over than taking a hot spring bath. It is snowing heavily, but you still take off your coat and sweat profusely in the house.

"Whoo~"

Wang Xinbiao let out a breath and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck.

These young people are big eaters and soon the roasted meat was almost gone. They asked the waiter for a few more plates!

The grill chef operated smoothly. The moment the fresh meat touched the iron plate, a fragrant aroma instantly wafted out.
"Master, when will it be better?"

At this time, a large slate iron pot is placed on the table, and an iron ring is placed on the edge of the pot with an iron bar grill on it. There are several openings on the iron ring for adding charcoal at any time.

In the past, only rich people could afford this kind of food. Even now, a meal for six people will cost at least 5 yuan, and that doesn’t include drinks and the like. Who among ordinary people can afford it?

Therefore, the selection of materials is extremely sophisticated. For example, the wood used is generally pine cones or cypress. The pine smoke and meat flavor are mixed together to make the dish tasty.

"Right away!" said the barbecue chef as he added shredded green onions and coriander. Although he was grilling it himself, he still needed a chef to control the heat.

Of course, if there are tourists from other places, these masters will also act as lecturers, but seeing that this is not the first time Shen Lei and his friends have come here, they just save themselves the trouble.

"Okay, please come in~"

"Thank you, Master~"

Pick up a piece of meat, dip it in some condiments, and put it into your mouth along with shredded green onions and cucumber strips. This bite is like a delicacy from heaven.

Since we had a small meal just now, everyone started chatting while eating, and the waiter brought us drinks.

"Leizi, you worked us so hard that day. So where's your girlfriend? Why don't you introduce her to us?"

"What girlfriend? She's already back home!"

When Shen Lei said this, the other five people were all stunned, looking at each other. "Didn't they agree?"

"Oishi, don't talk nonsense. How could I go to the hotel that day without agreeing to it~"

"What's going on?" The speaker was Wang Xinbiao.

"Don't ask too much, Biaozi. It has been known since ancient times that it is not easy to live in the capital. Not everyone can stay here!"

Shen Lei had already recovered by now. After all, they had only been together for a few months. How could there be any unforgettable feelings between them?

Take a bite of delicious barbecue and then sip some Maozi, this life is simply the best!
But his words still resonated with people. Except for Wang Xinbiao, the rich second generation, the other classmates were all working class. Of course, those who got together must be successful people with decent jobs.

It’s not that there is contempt or anything like that. We are all university teachers, civil servants, doctors, and it’s the so-called circle.

"Right, right, Lei Zi is right. I'm a PhD graduate, but I worked like a slave for my supervisor. It's no different from an apprentice in ancient times. Not only do I have to work like a slave in the laboratory, but I even have to take care of my children's schooling!"

"I finally managed to stay on as a teacher at the school. I'm already 33 after the Chinese New Year. With the help of my family, I bought this 60-square-meter apartment. Sometimes I even want to go back to my hometown!"

"Alright, stop selling anxiety here. We finally got together to drink, so let's be happy today. No one can leave for the second game. I've arranged everything!"

Wang Xinbiao looks like a wealthy man, and of course he does not need this little money. He works in the medical department just to have a shift, and that little salary is not enough to buy cigarettes every month.

"Really? Godfather!" A classmate laughed a little obscenely.

"Hahaha!"

While Shen Lei was having fun with his friends, Na Wei was also having dinner with his good friend. He was a little drunk and was drunkenly complaining about his former company and the boss Qin Lingling.

"Jiang Shan, what on earth is going on? He suddenly had a crisis when he reached middle age. He was fine in the first half of the year, but his life suddenly took a turn for the worse in the second half!"

"Hey!" Na Wei leaned forward with a hint of drunkenness: "I just figured it out. Is it because this BMW and I have a conflict? I haven't had a good day since I bought this car!"

"Go away, stop talking about my brother. What's wrong with this BMW? This is what happens when you reach middle age. It would have happened even if you hadn't bought it. Now that it's here, let's face it!"

"Don't think that I'm doing well by staying here now. In fact, he is also walking on thin ice. The uncle of the emperor has already extended his hand to my sales department. The meaning is too obvious. He just wants to take away all my resources and kick the donkey out after it has done its job!"

"If I were to say I regret it now, I shouldn't have bought a house in the first place. Now I'm locked in. If I didn't have a mortgage, I would have endured his anger a long time ago!"

The person that Wei invited to dinner was Jiang Shan. They couldn't be considered very good friends, but they were old colleagues for nearly 20 years anyway.

Jiang Shan is a rather smooth person. Although he seems cynical, he was once known as one of Wang Ruizhi's four great warriors. Na Wei, Lao Wang and Lao Lin have all left, and only he remains as the sales director.

It can be seen that this person's mind is definitely not ordinary, and he doesn't want to appear as simple as he appears.

So the meaning of what I just said is very clear, that is, you can’t see that I am staying here now, but in fact, life is not easy either. If you have any other ideas, don’t say anything!
The reason why Na Wei invited Jiang Shan to dinner was naturally not because he had nothing to do. After all, he was unwilling to return to an ordinary life. During this period of time, he had nothing to do and often thought about it. He still wanted to start a business and become a "Na Zong".

As a result, he was choked before he could open his mouth, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"By the way, brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Shan pretended not to understand.

"No... it's nothing, I just missed you so I had a drink. We won't be in the same company anymore, so the opportunities to drink will definitely become less and less!"

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

This is what is called a drinking buddy. Normally, what they say sounds better than anything else, but when it comes to the real thing, they are all unreliable!
