"How did you get to know Zhen?"
The person who questioned Lu Chen was a young man in his mid-twenties. His appearance was passable, a little handsome, and he knew how to dress up. He belonged to the type that young girls liked.
But he obviously liked Li Zhen, so when he saw Lu Chen with Li Zhen, he couldn't help feeling jealous. His eyes and words were full of provocation.
Li Zhen frowned and asked discontentedly, "Chen Jiaming, what does this have to do with you?"
She was more uneasy, worried that her friend would offend Lu Chen.
She didn't want to lose her current job.
Originally, Li Zhen had a good impression of Chen Jiaming. Although she didn't agree to his pursuit, she acquiesced to his pursuit. Now it seemed that she needed to reconsider.
Because the nature of her job required her to stay with the boss for a long time. If she had a jealous boyfriend, her life would be very painful.
Li Zhen had seen a real-life example with her own eyes.
She didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
"It doesn't matter …"
Lu Chen smiled and waved his hand. He said to Chen Jiaming, "I just came to Xiangjiang two days ago. Zhen works with me. Because I'm not familiar with Xiangjiang, she took me to Lan Kwai Lane to broaden my horizons."
He looked around and said, "This place is really good."
"So you are Zhen's new colleague!"
Xue Ni suddenly realized and asked curiously, "Where are you from? Do you have a girlfriend now? "
The gossiping spirit of her best friend made Li Zhen want to cover her face — she was so embarrassed.
Lu Chen didn't care and replied patiently, "I'm from the capital. I already have a girlfriend, and I love my girlfriend very much."
He winked at Xue Ni, but everyone knew that he was talking to Chen Jiaming.
Chen Jiaming had an embarrassed look on his face.
But Xue Ni obviously didn't give up. She said without thinking, "Then your girlfriend didn't come with you, right? How about I be your girlfriend in Xiangjiang? If I'm satisfied with your performance, it's not impossible for me to marry you in the future! "
"Haha!"
Her friends all laughed and jeered, "Xue Ni, good job!"
Lu Chen was speechless. Li Zhen wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Lu Chen didn't expect that this pretty girl would be so bold and direct. They had just met and she wanted to be his girlfriend. He recalled that Xiangjiang's marriage system was different from the mainland. The three special regions all allowed one to marry more than one wife.
It was said that many rich people in the mainland tried their best to move to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Macao. In addition to the living environment and conditions, many of them were aiming at this system.
On the other hand, because a large number of wealthy people had migrated, the market had flourished and brought in huge amounts of investment. Therefore, although the women's rights organizations in the three special regions had been strongly requesting to amend the unfair marriage law for many years, there had always been a lot of resistance.
It was a pity that Lu Chen only had Chen Fei'er.
"I'm afraid that won't work, because my girlfriend is very powerful, and she's much richer than me. She definitely won't sign the consent form."
Lu Chen joked, "That's why it's a pity."
Although the three special regions allowed more than one wife, if one wanted to marry the second wife or the third wife, one must first get the support of the first wife and get the latter's signed consent form.
Xue Ni suddenly stopped talking and looked at Lu Chen with disdain — I didn't expect you to be such a handsome guy.
This made the atmosphere a little awkward, but Chen Jiaming was relieved. He felt that Lu Chen was pleasing to the eye.
Because he knew that Li Zhen would definitely not like this kind of boy.
Seeing this situation, Li Zhen's other friend quickly smoothed things over and asked, "Lu Chen, you speak Cantonese so well, are you from Guangdong?"
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm from Zhedong. I learned Cantonese from my university classmates."
The other party praised, "Then you're so amazing, you're learning so well! If I didn't know, I would think that you're a native of Xiangjiang and not from the mainland. "
Although it was a compliment, it inadvertently revealed a sense of regional superiority.
To this, Lu Chen just laughed it off.
Although he had only been in Xiangjiang for a short time, he could feel that the social atmosphere here was really very different from that of the mainland. Openness and conservatism coexisted, and the fusion of different civilizations produced a special culture, as well as the people of Xiangjiang.
Putting aside the sense of regional superiority in their bones, these young people of Xiangjiang were still very easy to deal with. It was probably because Lu Chen could speak Cantonese fluently, plus he was tall and handsome, so Li Zhen's friends quickly accepted Lu Chen.
Even Xue Ni, who was a little depressed, regained her happiness and talked and laughed with Li Zhen again.
Lu Chen ordered a beer and drank it slowly. He listened more than he spoke, and his conversation was not bad. Therefore, despite the suspicion of "living off a woman", Li Zhen's friends had a good impression of him.
Inadvertently, it was already 10: 30 at night.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage and said into the microphone, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I believe those who are familiar with La Dolce Vita 97 know that our bar will be holding another LDV singing competition tonight. The winner will not only be rewarded with a free meal for the whole table, but will also be given two bottles of high-end red wine."
"Let's start signing up now, and the competition will begin soon!"
As soon as his voice fell, there was immediately a warm applause, whistles, and cheers.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the bar was pushed to a climax.
Li Zhen knew that Lu Chen did not understand, so she deliberately explained it to him.
It turned out that the La Dolce Vita 97 bar held a singing competition every week. Any customer could go on stage and perform their singing talent, and then the audience would judge the best.
Each table could only send one representative. If they won, then all the food that had been ordered would be free of charge. Although it was not a very generous reward, it was fun and fun.
Many customers came specially for this. Those who were confident of winning the final victory would often order a lot of things in advance. If they won, they would make a lot of money.
To put it bluntly, this was just a clever way for the bar to attract customers.
Lu Chen asked curiously, "How will the audience judge?"
Li Zhen reached out and picked up a rose inserted in a vase on the wine table. She said, "This is the ballot. After listening, let the waiter give it to the chosen contestant. Whoever has the most roses will be the winner!"
So that's how it is …
Lu Chen praised, "Very interesting."
The bar owner had really racked his brains. It was no wonder that the bar was full.
Li Zhen lowered her voice and asked, "Boss, you will definitely win if you go on stage!"
