Sang Chunling stomped her feet in annoyance. She had drunk a little, but her brain wasn't working properly. She even lost face in front of She Ziling.
Seeing that She Ziling was staring at her, she said, "Let's go. Thank you. I will drink with you."
Hu Ling and Wang Ou caught up with Pan Shaojun and the others in front of them. Turning right at the intersection, it was a food street. Although it was already past eleven o 'clock, it was still bustling with people. There were restaurants on both sides of the road, and the tables had already been placed on the sidewalk. Basically, the seats were full.
Everyone's goal was to drink, not to eat, so they were not picky. They saw an empty table in front of a barbecue shop and sat down.
The four girls were responsible for communicating with the boss, ordering food and getting drinks. One table was not enough, so they asked the boss to bring another table out. The two tables were put together, and only then were they able to sit down.
When the beer was served, Liu Linpo opened the bottle. He first handed it to Li Lan, Pan Shaojun, then to Sang Chunling, She Ziling, and the others. Finally, he put a bottle in front of him. He didn't sit down, but he filled his glass and held it up. "It's a pleasure to meet everyone today. I have learned a lot from everyone. People used to say that there are crouching dragons and hidden tigers. I didn't understand this before, but now that I have met you, I finally understand."
They had been in Pujiang for quite some time, at least half a year. They often hung out in the bar. They knew how arrogant and despotic An Fen was. His operation was as fierce as a tiger. They thought he was the king. They didn't expect to see Pan Shaojun, She Ziling, and the others today. It was like a cat seeing a mouse. While he was excited, he was also surprised.
Of course, he didn't expect Li Lan to have such a powerful background. He thought he was a bronze, but he turned out to be a king.
Seeing Li Lan stand up, everyone stood up as well. They filled their cups with wine and raised them.
Pan Shaojun raised his glass. "Brother, in the future, we will all be family. Don't be so polite. If you think highly of me, you should visit me more often."
After that, he drained the glass in one gulp.
Du Shixin said, "To be honest, we're outsiders, and we don't have much say here. But I'll brag to you first. In the future, when you come to Ludong, if there's anything you can't handle, just let me know. If there's a word of refusal, you're not a human being!"
Wang Kun had already sat down. His eyes, which weren't big to begin with, were now swollen into a line. However, he still picked up his cup and stood up. He echoed, "To be honest, we've been fooling around at home all these years. Whenever something bothers us, it's never overnight. We've never been as vexed as we are now. None of us are strong enough, but if we gather together and unleash our power, no one in Lu Dong can look down on us. "
Pan Shaojun said, "I often go to your place. It's good that we don't have to worry about trouble in the future."
Wang Ou sat beside Li Lan and muttered, "Looks like they're going home."
Li Lan asked, "Why?"
Wang Ou stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I used to think that the world was big and that everything was possible. Now that I've suffered a setback, I naturally have to go home and slowly lick my wounds. I finally understand why my parents don't want us to stay in the capital for long. When they make a fuss, they can't control their temper. If anything happens, there's really no one to cover for them. Now I realize that home is still the best. "
Li Lan smiled. "Sure, I'll look for you when I'm free."
Wang Ou raised her cup and said, "Then it's a promise."
She considered that she would have to drive later, so she took a sip.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they drank until twelve o 'clock. It was already the third round of drinking. Liu Linpo and the others were already at their limits. Li Lan said to Wang Ou, "Look after them. Send them off first."
Jiang Xingyuan walked over and put his arm around Li Lan's shoulder. "What about you? Aren't you going to my place tonight?"
Tonight, he was the one who received the biggest shock. It was as if he was meeting Li Lan for the first time.
Li Lan said, "I have somewhere to go. Make arrangements for your friends and don't worry about me."
Wang Ou went back to the entrance of the bar and drove the van over. Li Lan pushed Liu Linpo, Du Shixin, and the others into the van one by one. He watched as the van gradually drove away before he put down his waving hand.
Before he could reach his pocket, Pan Shaojun had already stuffed a cigarette into his mouth and lit it for him.
After Li Lan took a puff, he took out the cigarette and smiled. "Thank you."
Pan Shaojun said, "I'm most afraid of you being polite."
He looked at Sang Chunling and She Ziling who were sitting opposite and said, "What do you say? Continue drinking? Or change to the next round? "
She Ziling shook her head and said, "Arrange a place for him to sleep. We'll go together."
Li Lan said, "You don't want to stay for a while longer?"
She Ziling said, "Forget it. I have a meeting tomorrow morning and my mom is very strict with me. If I'm late, she'll definitely scold me."
She Ziling and Sang Chunling had just stood up when a red sedan slowly pulled up to the side of the road. Then, the two of them opened the door and sat down. They waved at Li Lan and left in the car.
Pan Shaojun said, "Let's drink another bottle each and leave. How about that?"
"I have to go to the toilet." Li Lan had already drunk more than ten bottles. His mind was clear but his body was out of control and he began to stagger as he walked.
After coming out of the toilet, Pan Shaojun toasted him again. "Let's drink. How do you know that Wang Kun? "
Li Lan said, "He's a friend of my classmate, Jiang Xingyuan. Have you heard of him?"
Pan Shaojun said, "Now that I mention it, you must have heard of him. His father is Wang Yuan and his brother is Wang Shuai. We get along quite well."
"Uncle Wang from the Northeast?" Li Lan asked in surprise.
Pan Shaojun nodded and said, "That's him. He used to go to the Soviet Union with my father, but he quit halfway and went out to start his own business. Your father didn't blame him. Later on, he probably helped out a little and your father gave him a hand. His business is flourishing. Now, he's opening a mine, making coke, and running a gas station. Wang Yuan and I get along quite well. We even drank together last time. I've been to his house, but Wang Kun probably doesn't remember me. However, I recognized him at first glance. He's as skinny and tanned as his father. "
"I've really never been to his house." Li Lan was no stranger to Wang Yuan. In the past, when he returned to the countryside in the Northeast, Wang Yuan would always entertain and help him. It was just that they had neglected to keep in touch over the years. "You used to be skinny and had no flesh on your face. Who would dare to recognize you now?"
"I'm preparing to lose weight." Pan Shaojun put down the skewers in his hand and laughed. "I'm planning to skip supper and alcohol at night, but I can't stop for even a day."
"Then let's finish it today and stop tomorrow." Li Lan clinked glasses with him and finished it in one gulp. He asked curiously, "His family should be doing well. Why does he look so weak?"
Pan Shaojun said, "Isn't that because of your father?"
Li Lan asked, "What does it have to do with my father?"
Pan Shaojun said, "It's all learned from your father. His son was raised poor. Take me for example. Before I graduated from university, I only thought that I came from an ordinary family. My house was a little bigger than others and my car was a little better than others. My family only had a few million in assets at most. It was only after I graduated and joined the workforce that I started to understand my family.
That old thing, Wang Yuan, is also interesting. His family clearly has mountains of gold and silver, but he keeps it to himself. He looks like a nouveau riche from a small city. Even his son doesn't know the ins and outs of his family.
To be honest, if Wang Kun was just a little more confident, he would be able to beat that brat An Fen to the ground. That old thing, Wang Yuan, isn't someone to be trifled with. From north to south, there are very few people that he doesn't have connections with. His business circle is also very wide. Compared to him, the An family is nothing. "
Li Lan said, "It's the same. I don't know much about our family's business either. It's just that I'm not interested at the moment."
Pan Shaojun asked, "How are we going to deal with the An family? Why don't I tell my dad about this? And that Nian Feng, I'll deal with him tomorrow. "
With his own ability, he could only deal with Nian Feng. As for a company like the Anxin Group, he still needed his father's help. Without his father's authorization, he wouldn't be able to fully allocate the resources of Dongfeng Express.
Li Lan shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this for now."
Pan Shaojun asked, "You can't just let it go like this, right?"
"I'll deal with it myself." Li Lan wanted to know what kind of world he was living in.
The real world was still The Truman Show's world!
Pan Shaojun smiled and didn't say anything else. With the Li family's power, this kind of small matter naturally didn't need to be dealt with. He thought that Li Lan would call Second Brother Li.
He immediately changed the topic, "Where are you staying now? Don't you have a house next to ours? Do you want to stay there? It'll be more convenient for us to meet then. "
Li Lan shook his head, "Forget it, I just bought the house yesterday and only stayed for one night. I'll send the address to your phone later. When you have time, you can go for a walk and have a good drink together."
There was still a little wine left in the bottle. He didn't pour it into the glass, but directly poured it into his mouth. After drinking, he stood up, stretched and said, "I'm going back, see you later."
Pan Shaojun said, "Let me send you."
Li Lan said, "No need, it's very convenient to take a taxi. I won't trouble you. Hurry back and rest."
"Don't." Pan Shaojun pulled Li Lan, who was about to take a taxi on the road, and waved at someone not far away. A black car immediately approached, opened the door, and pushed Li Lan in. After closing the door, he said, "I won't be sending you personally. Send me a message when you get home, okay?"
"No problem."
Pan Shaojun said a few words to the driver before taking his hand away from the car.
Li Lan lay in the car and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone in the car. He rubbed his eyes in a daze and saw a flame through the window.
When he got out of the car, he found the driver sitting at the door smoking.
"Mr. Li, you're awake." The driver quickly stood up. "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you."
Li Lan took out his phone and was shocked. "It's already two o 'clock? I'm really sorry to have taken up so much of your time. Don't go back tonight, spend the night on my sofa. "
The driver said, "No need, Mr. Li. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
"Then drive safely." Li Lan took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into the car window. "I'll buy two packs of cigarettes. Thank you."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." The driver was naturally overjoyed.
Without waiting for the driver to turn the car around, Li Lan opened the door and entered the house. He didn't turn on the living room light, but used his phone as a light source and went straight to his bedroom.
When he turned on the light, he found Gao Siqi lying on his bed.
He turned to leave, but heard Gao Siqi say, "You're back."
"Yes, I'm back." Li Lan smiled. "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I was going to spend the night on the sofa."
"I'm sorry. I waited here for you for a long time, but you didn't come back. I don't know why I fell asleep." Gao Siqi sat up from the bed, put on her slippers, and said, "Go wash up and sleep. I'll come up myself."
Li Lan turned on the light at the stairway and watched her go upstairs.
He went into the bathroom, scrubbed himself, and slept until dawn. When he opened his eyes, Gao Siqi was smiling at him from outside the door.
"What time is it?" Li Lan asked.
Gao Siqi said, "It's already eleven o 'clock. How much did you drink last night? You slept so soundly."
"About ten bottles, I guess." Li Lan put on his shirt. He was curious why Lion King was so well-behaved in the morning, but it turned out that he was locked in a cage and was pacing in circles.
Gao Siqi said, "When I woke up, he was barking in your room. I was afraid that he would disturb your sleep, so I locked him in the cage. Brush your teeth and wash up, and we'll have breakfast. "
The tea on the table was ready. Li Lan took a few sips, then brushed his teeth and washed his face.
He came out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen to help Gao Siqi serve the dishes.
Li Lan ate slowly. Gao Siqi found it strange and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is my cooking not good enough? "
Li Lan said, "I drank too much last night, and my throat is still a little sore. I'll be fine after I eat some mints to moisten my throat. You can continue eating."
He finished the rice in his bowl and refused to have any more. "Eat slowly. I can't eat anymore."
He held the teacup and slowly sipped it.
Gao Siqi said, "Then let me know if you're hungry later."
Li Lan said, "I have something to tell you. It's about your job. There's a cosmetics company here. It's scale and profits are pretty good. It's like this. If you're willing to do it, I can guarantee the loan and invest money in it. You can hold shares in it. Don't be afraid that you don't understand. After you get in, someone will guide you. You just have to learn."
Gao Siqi said, "Cosmetics? I know how to do makeup, but I don't know anything about running a company. It's good that someone will guide me, but I'm very stupid. If I lose all my money, I won't be able to pay it back. "
Seeing that she had no intention of objecting, Li Lan understood and said, "Then it's settled. As for the money, I'll guarantee it for you. If you earn more, you'll pay me more. If you earn less, you don't have to pay me. As for how much you invest, it's up to you. If you want to be a major shareholder, you can be a major shareholder. If you want to be a minor shareholder, you can be a minor shareholder. You can decide for yourself."
He called Qi Yue. In less than an hour, Qi Yue's car stopped at the door.
Li Lan said a few words to her and she left with Gao Siqi.
