Chapter 70: The Fat Man
Chen Long could see that Chen Peinan was a little anxious, so he smiled and raised the tea cup to her, indicating that she should calm down and taste the tea slowly, and don't be anxious, because there is no point in being anxious.
"Either I call him to remind him. This person is really asking us to wait for so long and yet he doesn't even call to explain. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. It's very rude to keep others waiting."
Chen Peinan took a sip of tea and said a little unhappy.
"Haha, it's okay. You are asking someone to do something for you. What's the point? We have nothing to do in the evening anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to just drink tea like this? By the way, I guess your classmate must be an official in prison. You
Believe it or not?"
Chen Long said with a smile.
"Oh? Why do you think he is an official? When he was in high school, his grades were really not very good. Later, he failed to pass the college entrance examination in the first year. He only passed the political and legal examination after repeating the second year.
University.
But he is a veritable second-generation official. His father is not sure what kind of official he is in the political and legal system, but he is very good anyway. After graduating from university, he was directly assigned to the Kyoto Prison."
Chen Peinan said.
"That's right. That proves that what I said is definitely right. He has such a good family background. Now that he has entered this system, he must find connections everywhere to move up. He was almost an hour late, but
But he didn't call. What does that mean? It means that he is often late when making appointments with others.
He's used to others waiting for him, and they say it's not strange when he's used to it. Since he's used to being late, it's not strange for us to be the same for him, right?"
Chen Long took a sip of tea and continued to comment. He was idle anyway, so time would pass faster if he talked. Chen Peinan nodded without saying anything, gesturing for him to continue talking.
"In this society, if people often wait for people who can still do well, they must be people with a certain status. They will not change their existing schedule just because you are waiting. They will definitely put their own original plans into practice.
He has to finish his work before he can come. In this case, tell me, is your classmate an official?
If not, can he be so awesome? Since he can be so awesome, it means that there are usually a lot of people looking for him to do things, and there are also a lot of people like us today waiting for him to sit down at the dinner table, don't you think?"
Chen Long asked Chen Penan with a smile. It would be meaningless for him to talk about it alone. Of course, it would be interesting if Chen Peinan also talked about it.
Chen Peinan didn't expect that he would study this issue so thoroughly. This was something she didn't expect. Chen Long usually didn't feel like a very sophisticated person, but she didn't expect that he would speak so clearly on these matters.
"Besides what you said makes sense, I really don't know how to say it. I didn't expect that a pretty boy would be able to say so much about these officialdom matters. It really opened my eyes. But
Listening to what you said, I feel like time really flies by much faster. It feels so uncomfortable to wait for someone.
But I have no choice but to wait. As you said, who asked us to ask people to do things? I have nothing to do, but I am embarrassed to ask you to wait with me."
Chen Peinan said.
"Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? Today's matter is obviously my personal matter to trouble you, but you asked me to wait with you. I really can't bear this. You should wait with me.
If you ask your classmates for help with my matter, then you should wait, right?"
The two of them went back and forth and became polite to each other.
Suddenly, Chen Peinan's phone rang. Apparently her classmates had arrived and were asking her which room she was in.
Chen Peinan answered the phone and walked out. Chen Long thought she should have gone to pick up her classmates.
Sure enough, when Chen Peinan came back, there was a fat man beside her. It was a hot day. He was wearing a shirt and tied the shirt into his pants. This very formal dress made it obvious that he was from the officialdom.
people.
"Let me introduce, this is my classmate Wen Tao, who works in Kyoto Prison, and this is my friend Chen Long.
Chen Long took the initiative to reach out his hand. The person in front of him must be an official, and he must be asking for help. Of course, he must hold it in his hands.
Wen Tao also extended his hand in a friendly manner, shook Chen Long's hand vigorously, and said hello in an official manner.
Of course, the protagonist of the order was Wen Tao. What impressed Chen Long the most was that Wen Tao was late for so long without even a word of explanation. He didn’t know whether he explained it to Chen Peinan on the way upstairs, or whether he explained it to Chen Peinan on the way upstairs.
There is no intention to explain this matter at all.
If he had explained it to Chen Peinan, then of course there was no need to explain it to an outsider and a small role like Chen Long.
Wen Tao was obviously used to such occasions. He was not polite at all. He took the menu and started ordering. Moreover, the dishes he ordered were not cheap at all. They were all expensive dishes, and few of them were light. They were all very expensive.
The oily kind.
Chen Long thought to himself, no wonder he is so fat. It would be strange if he didn't grow a big belly after eating this way.
Since you want to treat someone to a meal, of course they will eat whatever they order. It is possible that they can't persuade them to lose weight. So although Chen Long felt very unhappy, he had no choice but to let him order. He was just worried that Chen Peinan might not be used to eating.
Chen Peinan usually eats such oily vegetables very lightly.
Chen Penan's living habits have always been very good. She is usually busy with work, so she doesn't have much time to exercise. She only has very little time a week to exercise. Naturally, she has to pay attention to her living habits. Otherwise, if a beauty like her becomes fat, then
It must be a huge cup.
Chen Peinan was very calm, with a decent smile on his face. He sat quietly and watched Wen Tao order. Wen Tao really didn't regard himself as an outsider and ordered a lot of dishes in one order. Chen Long thought to himself, are you...
No pig can eat so much.
No wonder, these people are used to eating and drinking at public expense. It must be very difficult for them to learn to be frugal all of a sudden. It seems that once they go out to eat, they have to order a large table of dishes even if they can't eat.
, that can reflect identity and domineering.
Fortunately, we finally finished ordering. Wen Tao handed the menu to Chen Long. Chen Long waved his hand to indicate that he would not order. He thought that if he ordered it again, the table would not be able to accommodate it. Chen Long once experienced hardships abroad.
He has lived a life of frugality and has always advocated frugality. He really can't do such a thing by asking him to order food to spend money.
Wen Tao handed the menu to Chen Peinan again. Chen Peinan took it and ordered a vegetarian soup, then handed the menu to the waiter and asked them to serve it quickly.
After all this trouble, it was already past eight o'clock. The dinner originally scheduled for six-thirty was unexpectedly two hours late. It was incredible.
"Penan, I didn't expect you to find a pretty boy like Brother Chen Long to be your boyfriend. It's really good. One is handsome and the other is pretty. He is really talented and good-looking, so a perfect match."
