In those years, we were not together

Chapter 8 The Difference Between Men and Women (4)
"Yeah, I haven't changed. Unlike you, one has become a housewife, and the other has become a white-collar elite..." Lin Tao said sourly.

"What you said sounds so similar to the dish you ordered just now?" Han Meimei deliberately teased him.

"What dish?"

"Sour radish and duck soup!"

"Meimei, I'm not talking about you, you are really different from when you were in school, you are getting poorer and poorer!" Lin Tao had to say happily.

"What kind of person to be with, what kind of skills to learn, and you have to have a little bit of your style when you hang out with Brother Tao!" Han Meimei teased. Just divert your attention!

As for Li Lei, he sat there like a passer-by, not speaking, or he didn't know what to say at all.It's too vulgar to make jokes, and it's boring if you don't open it, so we can only let them make jokes.

"Okay, I won't be poor with you." Lin Tao was a little resigned.

"Hahaha." Everyone present laughed.

At this time, the dishes came up one after another.

"Come, let's eat vegetables." Lin Tao greeted.

At this time, Li Lei felt that he was a bit of an outsider. Han Meimei and Han Gang were a family, and Han Meimei and Lin Tao were old and poor friends. He was the only one sitting there, neither embarrassed nor embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.At this time, he couldn't help but think of a sentence - a joke is cold, sitting here is even colder.

Before the dinner was over, Han Gang left, saying that he was going to pick up the two children.And Han Meimei stayed to continue eating.

"Meimei, you are really married to a good husband who is rich, energetic, and treats you very well. I think you are the only one in our class who got a lot of money!" Lin Tao said.

"How do you put it so harshly, what sugar daddy, we two fell in love at first sight." Han Meimei was a little anxious when she heard Lin Tao say it, but she regretted it a little after she said it. Obviously she didn't know that Li Lei heard such words What will be the reaction.

"Love at first sight, it seems that childhood sweethearts are not as good as love at first sight, hehe." Lin Tao joked again.

Li Lei knew what Lin Tao was talking about. To Han Meimei, he was just a passer-by, and Lin Tao was just a soy sauce passerby, just joking around.

"Speak again, I'll call my sister-in-law." Han Meimei wanted to stop Lin Tao's teasing.

"Don't, don't, I'm really afraid of her." Lin Tao said.

"Haha, there are people you are afraid of!" Han Meimei said happily.

At this time, they seemed to realize that they were too poor, but they forgot about Li Lei.

"Lei Zi, when shall we eat your wedding candy?" Lin Tao asked.

"That's right, the girl I saw last time, is she the future sister-in-law?" Han Meimei asked, her eyes became more unnatural when she said this.

"Hey, what's going on?" Lin Tao said in a deliberately off tone.

"Hehe, it's still a while, you guys, just take care of yourself first!" Li Lei prevaricated, picked up a bowl to eat, and wanted to use this to cover up his uncomfortable expression.

After finally finishing the meal, Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief the moment he put down the bowl.For some reason, Li Lei always didn't know what to say in front of Han Meimei. Things were different, and suddenly he felt what a vicious word it was!
10. Lin Tao's troubles

"I'm leaving first, there are two children at home, I have to go back early." Han Meimei said.

"Okay! Let's catch up on the old days, buddies, you go back first and have a sweet couple!" Lin Tao said.

"Li Lei, I'm leaving first!" Han Meimei said.

"Okay, be careful on the road!" Li Lei said goodbye.

After saying goodbye, Han Meimei walked towards the parking space and got into a Mercedes-Benz S600.Li Lei's expression was even more surprised. Could it be that Han Meimei really got a big money as Lin Tao said just now?
Lin Tao was a little drunk, and his speech was a little awkward.Standing crookedly, he said, "Lei Zi, where is our next stop?"

"How about I take you home!" Li Lei said while supporting Lin Tao.

"I'm not going back. I'm happy to see you brother today. Let's go have another drink to celebrate!" It seems that Lin Tao still has more to say.

"I'd better take you back," Li Lei said, "Look, you've already drunk like this."

"I'm not drunk, I'm just happy today, let's find a place to sit for a while." Lin Tao said.

"Okay." Reluctantly, Li Lei took Lin Tao to the cafe he often went to, "Remember".

"Sir, what do you need?" the waiter said politely.

"I'd like a cup of premium Blue Mountain, Lin Tao, what do you want to drink?" Li Lei asked.

"I'm the same as you." Lin Tao seemed to be a little sober.

"Okay, two cups of top-quality Blue Mountain, and another cup of honey water." Li Lei said.

"Okay." The waiter turned and left.

"Boy, you wake up pretty quickly!" Li Lei looked at Lin Tao and said.

"I'm not drunk at all, but I drank a little too much at the beginning, and my head was a little dizzy." Lin Tao said, "I didn't make a fool of myself just now, did I?"

"You still said you weren't drunk, and you even forgot what you said, ha ha."

Lin Tao scratched his head and said, "Lei Zi, I'm really happy to see you. If you hadn't brought me here, I would really like to have another drink with you."

"I don't think we should drink today. We will have a lot of opportunities in another day." Just as Li Lei finished speaking, the coffee was served.

"Come on, drink some honey water first to relieve the hangover." Li Lei put the honey water in front of Lin Tao.

"My buddy, you know me best." Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Our party is on this Saturday, you should know?" Li Lei said.

"I know, Meimei told me, it is said that Jim is also coming this time?"

"Yeah, he was the one who called me. He happened to be on a business trip, so he said to get together."

"I haven't seen Jim for several years. I heard that I opened a car company in Shanghai, and it's doing well. I also married a Chinese wife, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing." When Lin Tao said this, his eyes were full of envy.

"I've become a father now, hehe." It was obvious that Li Lei's smile was filled with loneliness and loneliness.

"Well, me too, I will be a father next year!" Lin Tao said a little proudly.

"When did you get married? Don't tell me."

"You were still abroad when I got married, buddy, I can't let you give up your studies and fly here to attend my wedding!"

"Where is the bride?"

"Now she is my wife, introduced by my family, and also a civil servant, usually not busy at work."

"Very good, I really envy you!"

"What are you envious of? I still envy you! You don't know how good it is to live alone. After you get married, everything is a matter of life. The food, rice, oil and salt used to be managed by parents. Now my wife wants you to help her, you say I usually go to work, alas, what annoyance!"

"No matter what, my sister-in-law has done more than you. What bothers you?"

"Brother, let me tell you. As far as I know now, among the classmates in my class, I am the worst. You can be a policeman, with that little salary for a month, and then I have to support the children... ..."

Lin Tao went on to say: "Last year, I just bought a house together, and now I get half a month's salary every month just for the monthly payment, and then another child came, and my house slave was suppressed again before I turned over. Became a child slave..."

Hearing what Lin Tao said, Li Lei suddenly felt that life is not easy. It turns out that every stage has different troubles, just like the current self, just to find a partner, but the future self, I don’t know what it will be like Worrying, maybe Lin Tao's present is his future?
In the cafe, Li Lei chatted with Lin Tao a lot, Li Lei also vaguely knew the current situation of the students in the class, basically all married, some became teachers, some started small businesses, some Living a comfortable life from nine to five in a state-owned enterprise...

11. Han Gang turned out to be his boss?

When Li Lei drove to the company this morning, it was not yet 8 o'clock.He parked the car and just got out of the car when he saw a Mercedes-Benz driving fast.Indeed, there are many big companies like United Group who drive good cars.

However, when he saw Han Gang coming out of the car, Li Lei suddenly felt that his Buick should be changed. This sudden awareness came from a man's vanity.

Han Gang is also in this company?

Li Lei suddenly felt that the world was too small. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should say hello to Han Gang. Just when he was hesitating, Han Gang came over.

"Li Lei!" Han Gang shouted.

"Ah, hello, what a coincidence?" Li Lei said.

"Yes! Do you work here too?" Han Gang asked.

"Yes, I'm in the investment department." Li Lei replied.

"So you were the newly appointed deputy manager of the investment department?" Han Gang said with a smile. There were some complicated feelings in this smile, which seemed to be unclear in words.

"How did he know?" Li Lei was even more puzzled, but he still said, "Yes, hehe, what a coincidence!"

"I'm in the real estate business department. If you need anything in the future, you can call me." Han Gang said.

"Okay." Li Lei said in a daze, wondering in his heart, are Han Gang and Han Meimei in the same department?
Last time, Lin Tao seemed to say that Han Meimei married a rich man. Could it be that Han Gang holds an important position in the United Group?Or is Han Gang's father a rich man?
Li Lei walked into the office while thinking.

Han Meimei?Han Gang?Uncle Han?What a coincidence, all three of them are named Han?
Could it be?

No way?
In order to solve the mystery, Li Lei called Lin Tao.

"Lin Tao, I have something to ask you." Li Lei said impatiently.

"Go a little further to the left, yes yes yes... Ah, Lei Zi, what is it, my buddy will tell you if he knows." Lin Tao and his father were hanging some cute baby photos on the wall on the phone.

"Is it convenient for you to answer the phone?" Li Lei asked.

"Okay, tell me." Lin Tao said and walked to the balcony.

"Last time you said that Han Meimei married a rich man, right?" Li Lei asked.

"Hehe, I was talking nonsense with Meimei last time, hehe, but Han Gang is indeed rich."

"Are you familiar with Han Gang?" Li Lei asked.

"It's okay, I have dealt with them a few times, and I entrusted someone to take care of their company's security." Lin Tao said.

"Today, when I went to work, I saw that Han Gang was also working here, did you know?"

"Nonsense, that's his company. He doesn't work at United, where does he work?" When Lin Tao heard Li Lei's question, he almost died of laughter.

"Ah? This is his company?" Li Lei was even more surprised. He never thought that the Uncle Han his father knew was actually Han Gang's father!

"I really don't know how you messed up, you kid. You've been in the union for so long, and you still don't know who your boss is..."

"I thought you knew everything!" Lin Tao continued.

"..." Li Lei was speechless for a while.

"Lei Zi, the past is over, could it be that you still can't let go of that little good time?" Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to find out the situation, I have nothing else to do, hang up!" Li Lei said.

"Hey, don't, I just have something to tell you. Guess who called me just now?"

"Who?"

"Guess what!"

"How can I guess if you don't say anything?"

"Here's a range for you, she's also a middle school classmate, the pretty one..."

"Uh..." Li Lei thought for a long time before saying, "I can't guess."

"I'm so sweaty," Lin Tao continued, "The twins!"

"Lily?" Li Lei asked.

"You're smart!" Lin Tao said.

"What have you been talking about?"

"Talk about the party this Saturday, but Lucy may not be able to come, she has returned to China."

"Oh, where is Lily now?"

"In Shanghai, it is said that the development is not bad, ha ha." Lin Tao said cheerfully, as if talking about himself.

"Oh." Li Lei's response didn't make any sense.

"I just gave her your number, I guess she will call you later, or if I give you her number, you can call her first, man, you have to take the initiative. Then, Lin Tao said mysteriously, "I have good news for you, Lily is not married yet!"

"You boy, where did you think!" Li Lei scolded, and then said, "Okay, I've got nothing to do and I'll hang up!"

"Okay, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Lei's doubts were finally resolved.It turns out that Han Meimei's husband, Han Gang, is the successor of this company. No wonder it seems that he just came back from abroad, very young...

Hey, why didn't I inquire clearly before I came here? I came in in a daze, thinking that it was fate to be in the same company as Han Meimei, but who knew, it was even more fate to be in Han Meimei's husband's company...

Because of this incident, Li Lei couldn't get up all day.It is better to marry well than to do well. Men and women are really different.Men need to run around all day for career and face, but women are different. Marrying a good husband can turn over immediately.For a while, Li Lei suddenly felt that he was a mess, and a lot of loneliness came to his heart.
