"Third Brother, Sixth Brother, you are here. Come here quickly, and let me introduce you."
When Fan Kun saw Ding Ning, his smile froze for a moment, but he still greeted him warmly.
"Second Brother, long time no see!"
Ding Ning nodded with a smile. Fan Kun could treat him like this, which meant that he had let go of what happened in the past, which was what Ding Ning wanted to see.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Wang Yeru, from the Wang Family in Yan Jing."
Fan Kun introduced them with a smile and a faint pride in his tone. "Yeru, these are my good buddies in the dormitory when I was in college, Zhao Xin and Ding Ning."
Wang Yeru wore a heavy silk dress with a large V-neck, revealing a large area of her snow-white breasts. With an LV bag on her arm, she imperceptibly exuded a sense of superiority of being born in a big family in Yan Jing. When she saw the two handsome guys, Zhao Xin and Ding Ning, her eyes slightly brightened, but she just nodded reservedly.
When she found that Zhao Xin wore low-key clothes, his clothes were all famous brands, which obviously showed that his family was rich, her smile became more enthusiastic.
But when she saw Ding Ning's white sportswear, which set off his good figure but was obviously a worthless street product, a scornful light flashed in her eyes.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I am Zhao Xin, the third brother, and this is Ding Ning, the sixth brother."
With a gentle and elegant smile, Zhao Xin greeted Wang Yeru.
"Hey, Fan Kun and I are not married yet. We are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Don't call me sister-in-law, which makes me sound old. You can just call me Yeru."
Wang Yeru was obviously much more enthusiastic to Zhao Xin than to Ding Ning. She took the initiative to hold his hand and did not let go, and even winked at him. "Brother Zhao, you should drink more tonight."
"Okay, no problem."
Zhao Xin pulled out his hand without batting an eyelid and replied smoothly.
Fan Kun looked unhappy for a moment. If it were anyone else, he would not feel comfortable when his girlfriend openly hooked up with another man.
There were too many women in big families who had a rotten private life, and Wang Yeru was obviously one of them. Ding Ning really felt anxious for Fan Kun's taste. "Why does he keep looking for these unscrupulous women? But after tonight, this woman will never have anything to do with me, so I'm happy to ignore him." He stood aside with a smile and said nothing.
"Third Bro, Sixth Bro, Ye Ru and I still have to wait for a few of her friends. You two go to the Triumph Hall first. Eldest Bro and Fifth Bro have already arrived."
Fan Kun gave a dry cough and said to Zhao Xin and Ding Ning.
"Big Brother and Fifth Brother are here too? Not bad, Second Brother, you have a lot of face."
Wang Yeru kept throwing flirtatious glances at Zhao Xin. Even if he was experienced in dealing with women, he still felt a bit uncomfortable. Hearing this, he quickly pulled Ding Ning inside. "I haven't seen Eldest Brother and Fifth Brother for a long time. We'll go in first."
"Okay, you guys go in first. When Ye Ru's friend arrives, we'll go in."
Fan Kun breathed a sigh of relief. Many of the girls that his brothers in the dormitory liked would immediately fall in love with Zhao Xin and Ding Ning when they saw them. Now Wang Yeru was obviously interested in Zhao Xin, so it would be strange if he was not nervous.
"What's the background of your two friends? The one surnamed Zhao seems to have a good family, and the one surnamed Ding seems to be a poor guy. Don't get along with such people in the future."
Wang Yeru curled her lip and lectured Fan Kun impolitely.
"We are brothers in the same dormitory. Why should we care about family conditions when we are friends?"
Fan Kun was already in a bad mood, so he replied stiffly.
"Oh, you are angry with me, aren't you? Don't forget, if I didn't like you, could the small broken company of your Fan Family have a firm foothold in Yan Jing? "
Wang Yeru raised her eyebrows and scolded domineeringly, "Birds of a feather flock together. Great scholars are the ones who talk and laugh. You will be the son-in-law of my Wang Family in the future. If you call this kind of country bumpkin brother, you will lose the face of my Wang Family. How can others talk about us and say that the friends of the son-in-law of my Wang Family are all country bumpkins from the mountains? You may be shameless, but I am. "
"Is it so complicated to make friends?"
Fan Kun obviously did not have much confidence to refute her.
"How can it not be so complicated? In Yan Jing, even making friends depends on the person. The social circle depends on the person. When my friend comes, don't let your friend lose my face. My friends are all children of influential families, especially a friend of mine from Yan Jing. She has a great background and is preparing to open a company in Ninghai. Later, you have to behave well. If you can make her happy, as long as she says something, your Fan Family will be rich. "
Wang Yeru reminded him angrily.
"Okay, I got it."
Although Fan Kun did not like Wang Yeru's theory very much, he did not want to make trouble with her, so he answered sullenly.
Ding Ning had good hearing and heard Wang Yeru's words clearly, but he just smiled. "It seems that the Wang Family is not a big family in Yan Jing. Otherwise, Wang Yeru would not need to curry favor with others."
"Lao San, Lao Liu, you are finally here. Come, come, come, have a smoke."
As soon as they walked into the Triumph Hall, the eldest and the fifth brother of the dormitory greeted them happily, took out a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes, and gave them to them.
"Eldest brother, well done. You have smoked Chunghwa cigarettes."
Zhao Xin took the cigarette, lit it, and joked with a smile.
"Alas, it's all about face. If you don't take a pack of good cigarettes when you go out, others will look down on you."
The eldest brother, Liu Jie, exhaled a mouthful of smoke with some emotion. His face showed that he had experienced many vicissitudes. The high spirits he had when he was in school had long disappeared, and even the wrinkles on his forehead had become much heavier. It seemed that he did not have a good life.
"Come on, eldest brother, it is rare for us to get together. Don't talk about those unhappy things."
The fifth brother, Song Dong, patted Liu Jie on the shoulder and comforted him.
"What's wrong, eldest brother? I heard that you are a pharmaceutical representative in Gusu, right? Is it not easy? "
Ding Ning asked curiously. Although being a pharmaceutical representative was hard work and often had to go to the hospital for business, the commission was still considerable.
"Alas, Lao Liu, you don't know that the competition is too fierce now. The hospital is also unscrupulous. Every day, we invite the hospital leaders to eat, drink, and have fun, and they will come whenever we are invited. But when it comes time to sign the contract, they open their mouths and make us lose even a little profit."
Liu Jie shook his head with a wry smile. A man in his twenties looked like a man in his thirties. Obviously, he had aged a lot.
"Medicine can bring huge profits. If the hospital leaders want a rebate, you can just raise the price. How can you, the drug dealers, suffer losses?"
As medical graduates, both Zhao Xin and Ding Ning were well aware of the hidden rules of hospitals asking for rebates. Hearing Liu Jie's complaints, Zhao Xin asked with some confusion.
"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. The profit of medicine is high. A pill that costs 20 cents can be sold for 10 yuan in the hospital, but it can't stop the exploitation of the hospital leaders. You have to spend money to invite people to be polite, right? The director, deputy director, department director, deputy director, attending physician, and the pharmaceutical department all take some profit from them. Apart from these messy things, the money you really get is just hard-earned money. "
Liu Jie shook his head with a bitter face. "As for the price increase you mentioned, not to mention whether the patients have any objection or not, even if the patients can't accept it, those greedy guys will continue to raise the rebate. In the end, we, the pharmaceutical representatives, are the ones who can't complete the task. Not only will we not get the commission, but our basic salary will also be deducted. I have only gotten the basic salary for two months in a row. It's really hard to make money, even harder than going to heaven."
"In a word, it's because the boss of your pharmaceutical company doesn't have a strong enough relationship."
Zhao Xin hit the nail on the head and pointed out the essence of the problem.
"What can I do even if I know that? I can't enter the company of the boss who has a strong relationship. If I enter the company, I can easily make money. Who doesn't want to go there? "
Liu Jie stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said with a sigh.
"How's Lao Wu recently?"
Liu Jie was defeated by the reality of society. He exuded a sense of decadence. Zhao Xin could not help him, so he could only wisely change the topic.
"Me? I'm doing okay. You know I opened a small bar near the university town. It's not as good as the top, but it's better than the bottom. I can pick up a little girl from time to time. It's good."
Song Dong was a weirdo among his roommates. He was a little cynical. He was a top student in advertising design, but he did not care about his major at all. After graduation, he borrowed a sum of money and opened a small bar. He lived a befuddled life all day long.
Although Ding Ning knew it, he had never been there. He knew that Song Dong's opening a bar was also a kind of decadence. He was hurt.
Speaking of it, it also had a lot to do with him. When Song Dong was in school, he was crazy about a pretty girl in the same department as him. The two of them had confirmed their relationship. As a result, after the pretty girl met Ding Ning through him, she dumped him and then turned around to pursue Ding Ning, which made Ding Ning speechless.
Although Song Dong was more reasonable and knew that it was not Ding Ning's fault, it inevitably drew an irreparable crack between them. This was also the reason why Ding Ning had never been to Song Dong's bar near the university town, even though he knew that Song Dong owned a bar near the university town.
After the establishment of the Green Cloud Gang, Ding Ning specially told Feng Jun and others to take care of it, so that Song Dong's life became so leisurely and relaxed.
"Didn't those gangsters go to collect protection fees? There are crooks and honest people in the university town, and it's very profitable. Although I am a medical examiner, I have a few friends in the public security bureau. If they are stupid enough to look for trouble, just tell me, and I'll tell my friends. "
Zhao Xin finally mentioned his superiority as a medical examiner and patted his chest to make a promise.
"What's the use of calling the police? In the past, those gangsters went to my bar to collect protection fees every two or three days. I wanted to call the police, but it was useless. If you called the police, they would run away. When the police left, they would come back and smash the bar. The police can't stay in my bar 24 hours a day, and I can't afford to support them. So, I had no choice but to accept it. I gave those gangsters as much as they wanted, as long as they could give me food."
Speaking of this, Song Dong became spirited and said mysteriously, "But recently, my good luck came. Those ruffians who didn't follow the rules were driven away by a gang called Green Cloud Gang. Since then, no one has collected protection fees in my bar, which is more useful than the police."
"Gee, this Green Cloud Gang is not bad. They don't collect protection fees."
Zhao Xin said curiously.
Song Dong showed a complacent smile on his face. "Then you are wrong. The Green Cloud Gang does collect protection fees, but they don't collect protection fees from my bar."
"Why? Is the boss of the Green Cloud Gang your long-lost biological father? "
Zhao Xin joked.
"F * ck off, of course not."
Song Dong gave him a flying kick grumpily, and Zhao Xin dodged it with a smile.
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. "D * mn, did this guy find out that I specially greeted him?"
But Song Dong's sudden answer shocked him. He was dumbfounded and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Sure enough, narcissism is not Zhao Xin's patent, but the tradition of the dormitory."
