Three old classmates sat at a table affectionately. While waiting for the table to start, they chatted about some past memories from their school days. The three of them talked happily, at least to outsiders.
Because they were old classmates meeting, the three of them were deliberately arranged at the same table. After drinking the wine in the scene, they entered the stage of free play. Zhou Wenjing and Zhao Gang toasted and left. It happened that Zhang Ying also went to the toilet for convenience, and Pan Huduan
He picked up his wine glass and said to Zhou Nan carelessly, "Come on, buddy, let's do one!"
Zhou Nan's lips twitched, he raised the glass and took a sip, then put it down and stopped drinking.
Pan Hu glared at Zhou Nan dissatisfied with his drink, "Why, you look down on my brother? Come on, do this!"
Pan Hu reached over to grab the wine glass in front of Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan glanced at him with disgust and said coldly, "Take your hand away!"
Zhou Nan's voice was very low and cold, and it also contained an endless sense of looking down from above. Pan Hu's hand stopped in mid-air, his face turned red, and he slowly withdrew his hand. He was about to have an attack of embarrassment, when suddenly the corner of his eye
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Zhou Ningyu, wearing a summer police uniform, drinking with relatives of the Zhao family at the next table, chatting and laughing, and the shame and annoyance in his heart suddenly withered like a deflated rubber ball.
Only then did he suddenly remember that the young man next to him, who he thought was extremely proud, was not only a top student, but also a rich and powerful official's son. The son of the deputy director of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau, Pan Hu, a common man in the family,
In the eyes of a small worker who was born in China, it is a towering mountain that cannot be climbed.
Pan Hu suppressed himself and drank it all in one gulp. He was extremely angry but did not dare to explode. This feeling was not pleasant. For a young man like him who did not have much experience and cultivation, he was not good at disguising his true emotions.
, it was very awkward sitting there.
Zhou Nan sat there quietly, occasionally clinking glasses with others at the table and drinking. His indifferent and proud expression not only made Pan Hu feel embarrassed, but also brought him great pressure.
He really wanted to - like the time when he was drunk and had a fight with someone in the factory, he pointed at the other person's nose and said harshly: Boy, just wait and see! Damn, just wait and see! Do you want to die? Come on.
, Grandpa will give you a refreshment!
But he would not dare to say these cruel words to Zhou Nan anyway. Although he is vulgar and vulgar, he is not stupid. He knows that there are some people he cannot afford to offend or offend. Zhou Nan is one of them. He is one of them.
A person who is destined to be someone who cannot afford to offend.
With just one little finger, someone could crush a little bug like him to death. Pan Hu laughed at himself, drinking alone, but when he saw Zhou Nan getting up and leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then got up and followed him.
Zhou Nan strode outside the courtyard gate, subconsciously lit a cigarette, held it between his two fingers and let the smoke curl up, without smoking.
He was tired of the noisy noises in the courtyard and the hypocritical greetings without much sincerity, especially when sitting next to him was Pan Hu, whom he hated so much. The memories of his previous life came back, and he couldn't even bear to accept them.
lost.
"Brother, what's going on? Why do I feel like you have a problem with me? This shouldn't be like this when we old classmates meet..." Pan Hu stood behind Zhou Nan and spoke what was on his mind. However, his words
Before he could finish speaking, the cold eyes of Zhou Nan who suddenly turned around choked him back the next words.
In fact, Pan Hu couldn't fully understand the look in Zhou Nan's eyes that was condescending and filled with endless hidden anger. Pan Hu couldn't understand it, and it was impossible to understand it. Under Zhou Nan's gaze, he almost subconsciously took a step back, his lips
I trembled twice and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? Huh?" Zhou Nan smiled indifferently, and continued to stare at Pan Hu with his cold eyes, his aggressive color restrained.
Pan Hu was mumbling and speechless, and a deep sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.
Not to mention in this life, Zhou Nan, a talented scholar and son of an official, was high and unattainable in his eyes; even in his previous life, Pan Hu was a little afraid of Zhou Nan. Because everything he had was given by Zhou Nan, and he did not have Zhou Nan's.
He has nothing to support him and can only continue to work as a small worker in the factory workshop. In Zhou Nan's view, he is extremely benevolent and trusting Pan Hu; but in Pan Hu's view, Zhou Nan has been suppressing him
He always treated him like a slave and treated him like a slave. This made Pan Hu very unwilling, so after Chen Xiaoning showed a certain temptation, he immediately betrayed Zhou Nan without hesitation and tried to replace Zhou Nan's position.
Zhou Nan took a step forward, while Pan Hu continued to step back subconsciously. His dark face turned red, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart beat like a drum.
Zhou Nan slowly raised his hand, gently tilted the long and gray ash from the cigarette butt in his hand, and flicked it in the direction of Pan Hu. The smoke and dust floated towards Pan Hu's face in the bright light.
department.
Ahem!
The distance between the two was very close, and cigarette ash flicked into Pan Hu's face. A lot of cigarette ash was choked into his nostrils and mouth, and he bent over violently and coughed dryly.
At this time, Zhang Ying returned to the table after finishing her convenience and did not see Zhou Nan and Pan Hu. She caught sight of the two people standing face to face outside the courtyard gate, so she got up and walked quickly towards this room.
"Zhou Nan, Pan Hu, what are you two doing?" Zhang Ying called softly.
Hearing Zhang Ying's movements, Zhou Nan's originally indifferent face immediately showed a gentle and calm smile. He raised his hand to Zhang Ying, "It's okay, I'm chatting with Pan Hu, come out and get some air."
"Let's go, Pan Hu, today is your cousin's engagement ceremony, and I am the master... Let's go back and have a drink! We won't get drunk today!" Zhou Nan's attitude suddenly became extremely enthusiastic again, and the cold and hot
The change was so rapid that Pan Hu couldn't care less about his anger and had no time to react. He was pulled by Zhou Nan's arm back to the banquet in a daze.
…
…
"Pan Hu, what do you do at Haidu Chemical Plant?" Zhou Nan said calmly, holding up his wine glass.
Before Pan Hu had time to answer, Zhang Ying rushed to answer, "He is in the crude benzene workshop. He is not a technical type of work, but that kind of... Hey, I tell you that you don't understand anyway. He just does rough work and is very capable.
!”
"What about you?" Zhou Nan smiled and turned his head to Zhang Ying.
"I..." Zhang Ying smiled sheepishly, "I do statistics in the workshop. Well, I am the statistician, in charge of attendance and reports."
"Haha." Zhou Nan smiled, "Being a worker earns very little and is very hopeless. Have you two ever thought about doing something else?"
Pan Hu was startled, but Zhang Ying's eyes lit up. This seemingly carefree woman was actually quite scheming and wanted to go up. She immediately heard something else in Zhou Nan's words. She sat on the left side of Zhou Nan.
, leaned towards Zhou Nan and said softly, "I don't want to stay in this crappy factory for a long time. I am exhausted every day, the salary is so low, and there are no benefits..."
Zhou Nan smiled softly and said nothing, but quietly cast a meaningful glance at Zhang Ying.
