After Mr. Jia's matter came to an end, Shen Lin made great arrangements to invite her younger brother and Hu Haili to her home for dinner to celebrate her regular appointment and salary increase.
Na Wei discussed with his wife and called Na Juan and Li Xiaoyue over to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between Wang Gang and Na Juan.
Shen Lin was worried that the two of them would quarrel at home.
"Since Na Juan saved Li Xiaoyue, they have reunited. Now that Shen Lei has Hu Haili, Na Juan should not misunderstand Shen Lei again." Na Wei explained.
Shen Lin sighed and said: "Then Juan and Li Xiaoyue have been fighting together for three years, and they even involve my brother in it. What's the matter?"
Na Wei said awkwardly: "Xiao Lei has been wronged. I'll open a bottle of good wine later. We are all relatives. We can just talk about some things. We can't not meet each other in the future."
Shen Lin thought so, so she said: "I'll talk to Xiao Lei first, I'm afraid he will mind when he sees Na Juan."
Na Wei nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and make a call!"
As they helped their sister and husband more and more, Na Wei and Shen Lin paid more and more attention to Wang Gang.
Shen Lin immediately took out her mobile phone and called Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was very generous and directly expressed that he didn't mind that Juan was there, which made Shen Lin and Shen Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Lei is still very grand and doesn't have the same experience as Na Juan. When we drink later, I will make Na Juan bow his head and apologize to Xiao Lei." Na Wei said with a smile.
"Drink less wine later." Shen Lin said: "Hu Haili and Li Xiaoyue are here, you three men, don't lose your composure."
"Don't worry, you don't know my drinking capacity! Just open a bottle of wine for three of us, and we won't get drunk."
Na Wei excitedly went to the wine cabinet to look for some wine. He had recently been laid off from his company, and every day he faced those resentful resigned employees. He was almost depressed and needed to drink some wine to relieve himself.
On the other side, Na Juan received a call from his brother. He didn't want to go to the appointment, but he couldn't bear Li Xiaoyue's pleading and finally drove to his brother's house.
Li Xiaoyue also specially brought gifts to Na Wei and Shen Lin.
Shen Lin still liked Li Xiaoyue very much and welcomed her into the house enthusiastically. When Zhuo Zhuo heard that Sister Xiaoyue was coming, she also jumped out to greet the guests.
Li Xiaoyue looked around the room and saw no one from Wang Gang, so she asked, "Isn't Shen Lei here yet?"
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Shen Lei will be late to pick up his girlfriend."
Na Juan snorted coldly: "What a big arrogance, he wants us to wait for him together."
Li Xiaoyue's expression changed slightly and she pulled Na Juan's sleeves.
Na Juan looked at his sister-in-law unnaturally, and Shen Lin was indeed a little unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, where is my brother?" Na Juan asked, changing the subject.
"He went downstairs to buy food and drinks. He should be back soon." Shen Lin said, holding back her temper.
Li Xiaoyue held Shen Lin's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, did the kitchen stew the stewed meat? It smells so good!"
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Yes, I braised the pig's trotters, it will be ready in half an hour."
Li Xiaoyue praised: "Sister Lin's braised pig's trotters are one of the best in Beijing. Please teach me how to cook them when you have time."
Shen Lin's face turned from gloomy to bright, and she said with a smile: "That's not easy. I will write down the recipe to you later. After you learn it, make it for Na Juan to eat. I heard that you two live together!"
Li Xiaoyue blushed and said shyly: "That Juan wouldn't let me rent a house outside because he was afraid of meeting bad people again."
"By the way, what happened to the person who was beaten by Na Juan?" Shen Lin asked.
Li Xiaoyue smiled and said: "I would also like to thank Shen Lei. His friend who is a policeman went to the hospital to meet the man, and then everything was settled, and they did not pursue the case against Juan for beating him."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Since Shen Lei was transferred to the Financial Supervision Bureau, he has met more people and his skills have improved a lot. He also helped me with my work."
Li Xiaoyue sighed: "Civil servants are still well-connected and can handle many things with just one phone call. No wonder people in the past said that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to get things done."
Na Juan felt very unconvinced when he heard his girlfriend praise another man, but for Shen Lin's sake, he didn't say anything.
At this time, Na Wei opened the door and came in, followed by Wang Gang and Hu Haili.
"Look who I met downstairs." Na Wei shouted happily.
Shen Lin brought slippers for Wang Gang and Hu Haili. Seeing Hu Haili carrying something in her hand, she couldn't help but said: "Come here, do you have anything else to bring?"
Hu Haili smiled and said: "It's my first time to visit. It's not appropriate to be empty-handed, so I bought some fruits. Shen Lei brought a bottle of red wine, saying it was suitable for us ladies to drink."
Wang Gang raised the red wine and said: "Sister, I have bought this bottle of wine for a long time, just to celebrate your becoming a full-time employee and raising your salary."
Shen Lin said angrily: "I know how to spend money randomly. If you have money, save some for buying a house in the future."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "The house matter is not urgent. The copyright fee for my novel will come down soon. I heard from the editor that it is less than 7 million."
"So many?" Shen Lin said in surprise.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Your brother is awesome!"
Shen Lin glanced at Hu Haili and said reproachfully: "Even if you have money to burn, you still have to have a woman to look after you, otherwise you will fail no matter how much you make."
Hu Haili blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Na Wei invited everyone to sit down in the restaurant. Na Zhuo Zhuo had been staring at Hu Haili since she walked in, and his words made Hu Haili blush even more.
"Are you my new aunt?"
Everyone at the dinner table was amused by the excellence!
"Little Zhuo Zhuo, you called me aunt a little too early." Wang Gang touched Zhu Zhuo's head and said with a smile.
Zhuo Zhuo tilted his head, stared at Hu Haili, and said, "I think I've seen you before."
Hu Haili nodded and said: "I am Sister Lin's former colleague. We did meet you when you were young. I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye."
Na Zhuo Zhuo suddenly realized: "I remembered, you are the beautiful sister from my mother's previous company."
With little Zhuo Zhuo messing around, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became more lively.
Shen Lin also brought the stewed pig's trotters to the table and announced that the dinner had officially begun.
Na Wei opened a bottle of Wuliangye directly, and Wang Gang opened the red wine for the ladies.
After three glasses of wine, Na Wei started talking.
"Xiao Lei, after you get the copyright fee, where are you going to buy a house?"
"Maybe I'll choose a house within the Third Ring Road. The economy is not good now and housing prices have dropped. I'm going to buy a three-bedroom apartment," Wang Gang said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "House prices in the Third Ring Road are not cheap. Several million may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not much. You cannot buy a big house in the Third Ring Road, let alone a three-bedroom apartment." Na Juan
mocked.?
Li Xiaoyue touched Na Juan under the table and told him to pay attention when he spoke.
Na Wei awkwardly said to Wang Gang: "Na Juan is worried that you don't have enough money to buy a house, and would you like us to provide some support?
?Actually, the community where your sister and I live now is pretty good, and the price is moderate. If you add a little more money, you can get the full payment. It will be convenient for everyone to live close by in the future."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said: "No, seven million is enough for the down payment, and the rest of the loan will be fine. As long as there are still people reading my books, the copyright fees will continue. The editor said that sales are still rising, and the copyright fees will be increased next year."
More. I can pay off the mortgage in two or three years at most, and I’m already writing a new book, and the click-through rate is pretty good so far.”
"Are you writing a new book? What's it called? I'll take a look when I have time." Na Wei asked.
"Writing about events in the Tang Dynasty, because those events in the Ming Dynasty were still popular, so the new book did quite well." Wang Gang explained.
"Then you can write about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the copyright fees won't be huge." Na Wei complimented.
"My editor also means this." Wang Gang said.
Shen Lin sighed: "Xiao Lei, you've managed to survive. You don't have to worry about me anymore in the future."
Everyone else was happy for Wang Gang's success. Only Na Juan looked unhappy, but Li Xiaoyue kept looking at him and didn't let him say anything unpleasant.
Everyone had a happy meal. Na Wei drank wine and asked Na Juan Duo to drink two glasses of wine to Wang Gang, hoping that the relationship between the two could be eased.
Wang Gang didn't care. He had never seen anyone before, so naturally he wouldn't be affected by that Juan.
For the sake of his brother Na Wei and his girlfriend Li Xiaoyue, Na Juan reluctantly drank two drinks.
Just when the atmosphere was at its best, the doorbell rang. Shen Lin went to open the door and saw Xie Meilan standing at the door.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Lin had a bad look when she saw Xie Meilan.
"Sister, is Shen Lei here with you?" Xie Meilan asked humbly.
