Yang Yuzhong was a soldier, had many comrades, and had a good relationship.
It's just that communication was not very good back then, so many people lost contact after they were scattered to various places.
But things have changed in the past few years. The development of WeChat has allowed many middle-aged people to use it, and then comrade groups, classmate groups, and relative groups have emerged one after another, and Yang Yuzhong's comrades have reunited together.
This time Yang Yuzhong came to the capital and planned to have a friendly gathering with several comrades-in-arms.
After submitting the materials at the Capital City Government in the afternoon, he declined Director Wang's company and found a hotel to stay in. Then he started calling his comrades who had made appointments in advance, and they all found a restaurant.
, had a great meal happily and lively.
Since it was still early to have dinner, a comrade suggested that we go to a teahouse to sit there.
One of his comrades was quite capable. He had a membership card for the nearby Xijing Club. Although he was only a junior member, Yang Yuzhong knew after just a few words that this club was not simple.
First of all, the first point is that this Xijing club is actually within the third ring road, and it is a large courtyard. This alone makes people feel that the owner's energy is amazing.
Secondly, this place is not open to the public. If you are not a gold card member or above, you cannot dine inside. At best, you can just drink some afternoon tea and sit in the courtyard outside.
But even so, an ordinary membership card costs 1 million yuan, plus a membership fee of 100,000 yuan a year, which makes Yang Yuzhong feel that it is a waste of money. He does nothing and has to pay 100,000 yuan a year.
If you only need tens of thousands to drink tea, do you really think that everyone else is printing money?
But his comrade Duan Yougu, the one who has this membership card, doesn't think so, because some business salons are often held here, and many business people gather here to talk loudly about the economic situation at home and abroad.
There will be good analysis, and you can also get to know a lot of business people here, so you can expand your network.
In the business world, isn’t it about having connections?
Stop gossiping.
Several other comrades-in-arms did not go to the Xijing Club on weekdays. It just so happened that this time Lao Yang came and everyone went to see it.
It was already past 7 o'clock in the evening, and there was a special open space for parking in front of the Xijing Club. Duan Yougu's Mercedes-Benz here was also relatively low-end. Usually they had Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and other luxury cars.
, there are also more than a dozen sports cars.
Entering the Xijing Club, which looked unremarkable on the outside, Yang Yuzhong discovered that there was quite a lot of elegance inside.
Siheyuan at least has an area of several thousand square meters, with the courtyard alone covering more than 400 square meters. The lighting is not too bright, but it is not dim either.
They haven't touched the surface of the building at all, but the decorations everywhere are mixed with modern and ancient styles, but there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Sitting casually in front of a tea seat, Yang Yuzhong could smell the faint fragrance emitted by the brown seat. Obviously, the wood was not cheap.
Duan Yougu ordered a pot of tea and some pastries. He turned around and saw a comrade looking at the beautiful waitress walking around. He couldn't help but smile, "Haha, Lao Lei, what do you think? The waiters here are pretty, right? Just pick one out.
They all graduated from prestigious universities, and their salaries are at least 20,000 a month!"
"Wow, so expensive?" Lao Lei was dumbfounded, "Just do some work of serving tea and pouring water?"
"Otherwise, what do you think there is?" Duan Yougu said with a smile, "It is impossible for a truly high-end place to rely on low-level means to attract customers... The people who come here are all people of high status. You have ruined this place.
It’s such a mess, but people are still willing to come?”
"According to your words, this is not much worse than the four major old clubs in the old capital." Lao Yun, another comrade in arms, sighed.
"The old four are already outdated a long time ago. Most of them were made by people from Hong Kong Island. How can they keep up with the times?" Duan Yougu said dismissively, "We still need our local people to do it."
It’s so down-to-earth.”
"hehe."
Several old friends laughed.
The tea here is authentic century-old Pu'er. Although a pot costs more than 3,000, it is indeed very moist when you drink it. Especially in autumn, it warms your stomach after drinking it because of the discomfort caused by drinking just now.
A lot of it suddenly dissipated.
There was no music playing in the yard, and it even seemed a bit deserted because there were not many people. However, because of the exquisite layout, you did not feel lonely, and you could also look up and see many landmark buildings on the surrounding Third Ring Road.
Moreover, this kind of quiet environment makes people feel the superiority the most. A few people had drunk a little wine, so they started talking loudly.
It happened that another group of people walked into the courtyard at this time and heard their voices. A middle-aged man in the lead frowned and said to the beautiful waiter accompanying them: "Let them keep their voices down. There are quality people here."
place."
"Let me tell you, Xijing has become bad. People of all qualities are being recruited there. Are you really crazy about making money?" A young man next to him said with a smile.
The beautiful waiter's expression changed, but knowing the identities of several people, she did not dare to say anything to their faces. Instead, she trotted to Yang Yuzhong's table obediently.
"Gentlemen, could you please lower your voices a little?" the beautiful waiter bent down and whispered.
"What? Are you not allowed to speak?" Lao Lei looked at the beautiful waiter, and then at her plump figure under her shirt. Unconsciously, his words were a bit frivolous, "Little girl, is this how we pay for consumption?"
Are you wronged? There are not many people around us, so such a sound disturbs them?"
"No, no, please forgive me." The beautiful waiter gritted her teeth and whispered to Duan Yougu, "There is a diamond card member over there who has some opinions about you... Look..."
Duan Yougu looked at the seven or eight people walking in and nodded, "I understand, we will keep our voices down."
"Thank you, thank you!" the beautiful waitress smiled.
After she left, Lao Yun frowned and said, "These diamond card members are too overbearing, aren't they? The people sitting around us didn't say anything, and they even made irresponsible remarks."
"You can't say that, this society is like this." Duan Yougu also looked a little unhappy. After all, he was the host this time, but he was disgraced. "Diamond card members have assets of at least 5 billion yuan, and
They also need to have sufficient social status. How can we afford to offend such people, especially those in the capital?"
When he said this, several people stopped talking.
Yang Yuzhong also understood that after all, there were the most officials in the capital. In China, having money was not the most important thing, but having power was the most powerful thing. If you offended the officials, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
The voices of several people speaking also laughed a little. Although they were a little angry, the situation was stronger than the situation. Everyone was in their fifties, so they didn't have this little heart.
Unknowingly, it was past nine o'clock, and seeing that the time was almost there, Yang Yuzhong suggested that everyone go home. After all, they are not young people in their twenties. It is always better to go home early in the evening.
Duan Yougu and the others did not try to persuade him to stay. Anyway, it is so convenient to contact him now. It would not be difficult for everyone to get together next time.
After checking out, he walked towards the door. It happened that two people came in at the door over there. Yang Yuzhong took one look at them and subconsciously shouted out.
"Hey, Xiao Qi?"
The young man who was talking to Tang Quan looked up and was also stunned: "Uncle? Why are you in the capital?"
Yang Yuzhong laughed, "I'm here to discuss business. What about you?"
"I have something to deal with." Xiao Qi smiled and said to Tang Quan: "Brother Tang, this is Uncle Yang, my girlfriend's father."
"Hello, I'm Tang Quan." Tang Quan also smiled and shook hands with Yang Yuzhong.
He did not reveal his identity because he was afraid of scaring Yang Yuzhong, but his attitude was very friendly.
Duan Yougu and the others could also see that the young man in front of them had a very calm demeanor, a bit mature, but the most outstanding thing was Tangquan next to him. Just by looking at his demeanor, one could tell that this man was from the government.
They all have an air of officialdom.
Yang Yuzhong doesn't care. My son-in-law even knows No. 1 and Boss Bian, and there are no other officials.
But when I met Xiao Qi here, my father-in-law, who had had some wine, naturally started to show off a little bit.
He patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and said, "Here, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Duan, Uncle Yun, Uncle Lei... you guys. This is my Xiaona's boyfriend Xiao Qi. What do you think? He's a talented person."
?”
"Haha, that's good!" Duan Yougu is a businessman. Seeing that Xiao Qi and Tang Quan talked very casually, he naturally thought that Xiao Qi must not be an ordinary person.
Lao Lei wanted to be more outgoing and laughed when he saw this: "Lao Yang, it seems I have to go to Chengdu for a wedding banquet when! Xiaona's movements are so fast!"
"Yes, my daughter is only 15 years old, much younger than Xiaona. Maybe after Lao Yang has his grandson, my girl will not have a boyfriend yet!" Lao Yun also said with a smile.
"Hahaha……"
A group of people laughed.
I don't know if there is something wrong with the characters, but when a few people were laughing, a group of people who just thought they were noisy walked out of the room again, and they happened to see a few people laughing wantonly at the door.
The middle-aged man frowned and walked outside without saying anything.
But when he walked in front of them and passed by, the young man from before said seemingly unintentionally: "You bumpkin, you are so noisy, do you think this is a theater?"
His voice was not quiet, Xiao Qi and the others could hear it.
For a moment, the laughter suddenly stopped. (To be continued.)
