Chapter 52(1/2)
How can you be so embarrassed to refuse?
February 20th, Sunday, is the last day off before going to work.
In the morning, Gao Yang did a general cleaning in the dormitory, making the windows clear and clean.
At noon, Zhang Tao and Wan Hong arrived one after another. They were both returning by plane. They had held the group's annual meeting and could reimburse their air tickets.
Gao Yang, wearing a kitchen skirt, took out two plates of bacon sausages from the small kitchen and placed them on Wan Hong's small desk.
"Come, come, try our Sichuan cured meat."
Zhang Tao got into the small cupboard and took a look, and was happy.
"Gao Yang, you can do it. All the pots and pans are ready."
Wan Hong raised his thumb: "Yes, he is a good family man. I heard that you Sichuan men can cook."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "It's quite boring to go out to restaurants every day. Occasionally, I cook a little taste of my hometown to relieve the slander."
Gao Yang brought more than ten kilograms of bacon sausages from home and had to find a way to cook them.
Zhang Tao and Wan Hong never cook, so this small kitchen has been idle for a long time and has long been covered with dust.
Gao Yang had no choice but to do it himself. In his previous life, Gao Yang lived in the capital and was actually quite lazy. He would occasionally cook his own meals.
I have two or three girlfriends, some are diligent, some are lazy, and there are really not many young people floating around in the capital who cook at home every day.
Don't have that time.
Zhang Tao and Wan Hong had a great time eating ready-made food and drinking Moutai.
Before the Spring Festival in Gaoyang, I received a 19,000 shopping card and spent several thousand. Yesterday, I went to the mall to buy another bottle of Maotai.
Gao Yang was always very grateful to Zhang Tao and Wan Hong in his previous life. They were both very good people.
Especially Zhang Tao, a Northeastern man, who is bold and generous.
Whenever colleagues have dinner together, Zhang Tao always rushes to pay the bill, and no one is allowed to compete with him.
Then, everyone got used to it.
Zhang Tao helps his colleagues pay for meals every month, which can cost several thousand yuan.
He is a real person.
Today, more than 100 employees of CPI’s Beijing branch will return, and some, like Gao Yang, will return early.
After 3 p.m., Zhou Wenbin called again and asked Gao Yang to have dinner together in the evening.
Gao Yang declined, but Gu Yawen had already made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening and pick up Gao Yang at 5 p.m.
Gao Yang originally wanted to take a taxi to the appointment, but his classmate Bai Fumei was very enthusiastic.
After 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yang rushed to the office by bicycle, feeling a little disgusted while riding his bicycle.
I still need to find a house and move as soon as possible. The time wasted on the 8 kilometers of road every day would be better spent running and exercising.
When it was almost 5 o'clock, Gao Yang was waiting under the office building, and Gu Yawen's Corolla car also arrived on time.
Gao Yang got into the passenger seat and Gu Yawen said: "Let's go to the University of Finance and Economics to pick up Ruohan. It's quite close to your office."
Gao Yang thought about it and said, "Xueyuan South Road, it's quite close."
Gu Yawen asked again: "Gao Yang, is there a KTV near you?"
Gao Yang said: "There is a [money box] a few hundred meters ahead."
Gu Yawen said: "After dinner, let's come over and sing."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Today is the weekend, I think we will have to queue up. Do you want to book a small package now?"
Gu Yawen said: "Okay, let's make a reservation at 7pm."
Gu Yawen's car headed straight north and soon passed by the building where the KTV was located. There was an eye-catching reservation phone number on the store sign, and Gao Yang remembered it at a glance.
I called directly and found that mini private rooms were available at 388 yuan for 3 hours, which was quite expensive.
The reservation is made at 7pm, and the private room is reserved until 7:15. No waiting will be done if you are late.
Gu Yawen first called Wu Ruohan and rushed to the south gate of the University of Finance and Economics about ten minutes later. Wu Ruohan was already standing on the street.
There was a man standing next to Wu Ruohan. He was tall, thin, and handsome. Gao Yang took a look at him and felt that he didn't look like a college student.
Seeing Gu Yawen get out of the car, Gao Yang also opened the door and got out of the car.
Wu Ruohan waved happily and jumped over.
The man also walked over slowly.
Gao Yang could see clearly that this man looked about twenty-six or seventeen years old.
Gu Yawen introduced with a smile: "Gao Yang, this is my second brother, Ruohan's brother Wu Peng."
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello."
Wu Peng looked at Gao Yang and then stretched out his hand to shake it gently: "Hello."
Gao Yang always felt that the way this man looked at him was a little strange just now.
Wu Ruohan got into the passenger seat, Gao Yang opened the door and motioned for Wu Peng to come first.
After getting in the car, Gu Yawen said: "Second brother, let me treat you to seafood."
Wu Peng said: "You are the landlord, you have the final say."
Wu Ruohan smiled: "Seafood, I like it."
Wu Peng took out a box of soft drinks and handed one to Gao Yang: "What year are you from?"
"Um..." Gao Yang didn't expect this person to ask this question as soon as he opened his mouth, so he replied, "I was born in August 1974."
"Then you are almost twenty-six this year."
Wu Peng took out a zippo lighter and lit a cigarette by himself: "You have to call me Brother Peng, everyone else calls me that."
Gao Yang smiled and nodded: "Brother Peng."
"Brother Yang, ignore him. He was born in 1973 and is not much older than you." Wu Ruohan retorted and then said, "Wu Peng, don't smoke in the car."
Wu Peng was very unhappy: "No matter how big or small, I am your brother!"
Wu Ruohan retorted: "You don't look like a brother at all, just bring me the lucky money."
Wu Peng gritted his teeth: "Wu Ruohan, that's enough for you."
Gu Yawen smiled and said: "You two should calm down for a while. My brother is not like my brother, and my sister is not like my sister. Why are you arguing?"
Wu Ruohan snorted: "You are so stingy and you still want to be my brother."
Wu Peng snorted: "I am your brother."
Wu Ruohan said: "I won't call you brother, you bite me."
The corner of Gu Yawen's mouth twitched: "Stop, stop, stop, are you two annoyed?"
Gao Yang was a little speechless, these are really a pair of precious brothers and sisters.
Gu Yawen drove to the seafood restaurant where Gao Yang had treated her. After dinner, Gu Yawen was about to pay the bill, but Wu Ruohan grabbed her and said, "Boss Peng is rich, let him treat us."
Wu Peng rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'll take it!"
When we arrived at the KTV, it was only 6:50 in the evening, and there were already six or seven groups of people sitting in the lobby, all in small groups.
Apparently the queue has already started.
The price list is very eye-catching: mini bag 388 yuan, small bag 488 yuan, medium bag 688 yuan, large bag 988 yuan, luxury bag 1888 yuan...
Wu Peng was obviously a little surprised: "Business is so booming."
Gao Yang said with a smile: "The mass-market KTVs in Beijing are very popular, especially on weekends. Small packages are okay, medium packages, large packages. If you don't have a reservation, you will definitely queue up."
The waiter led the four people to the reserved mini private room. When they sat down, the four of them were a little crowded. Gao Yang also ordered a mini private room in order to save money.
However, Wu Peng and others obviously didn't care.
The mini package lasts for 3 hours and costs 388 yuan, with only half a dozen beers and not even a fruit plate.
Gu Yawen ordered another fruit plate, which cost 88 yuan. She also ordered two glasses of water, which cost 20 yuan.
This time, Gu Yawen finally rushed to buy the order.
Gao Yang was caught off guard. He originally wanted to pay the bill, but it was pointless to grab it.
Wu Ruohan obviously loves to sing. She was the first to ask for a song. As soon as her voice opened up, Gao Yang felt that it was good, as good as Mai Ba's.
Gao Yang ordered a few songs by Beyond and Xueyou Songshen.
After she started singing, Gu Yawen was indeed not modest. Her singing was really average, and occasionally she was out of tune.
Wu Peng is good at singing, and I like Leslie Cheung.
It's just that Wu Peng always goes out to hang out, and when he comes back, he goes to Gao Yang for a drink.
After drinking two bottles of wine, Gao Yang discovered that Wu Peng talked a lot and seemed a bit familiar.
