In the old store.

Gu Qingyuan walked in with Wang Qiang. Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and there was a custom of visiting people to pay New Year greetings, it did not affect the popularity of the store at all.

"Qiangzi, here."

Among the people sitting there, a man waved and shouted, and his face felt familiar to Gu Qingyuan.

Is it him? Xue Zhaozhao! Gu Qingyuan finally remembered that he was the one who bullied Hao Ji and used various means to detain him.

"Brother Xue."

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded, quickly walked over and sat on the only empty seat left.

Sitting with Xue Zhaozhao, besides Wang Qiang, there were two other people, all of whom looked familiar.

One of them, Wang Xiaolu, spent several days with Gu Qingyuan in the detention center.

After seeing Gu Qingyuan standing there, Wang Xiaolu waved his hands and stood up, grinning at Gu Qingyuan as a greeting.

Gu Qingyuan also smiled and nodded in response.

"Lao Gu, you can move a chair and sit wherever you like."

Wang Qiang said without looking back, picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks, dipped it in the secret sauce, put the tofu into his mouth, and then showed a contented expression.

The tables in the small shop are all small tables for four placed against the wall. If Gu Qingyuan wanted to come and sit, he would have to move a chair in the aisle, but this would be very inconvenient for people coming and going.

Xue Zhaozhao and the others just glanced at Gu Qingyuan and ignored him. However, Wang Xiaolu stood up.

"Brother Gu, let me move a chair for you."

As he said this, Wang Xiaolu took a chair from the dining table next door and placed it next to him.

"haha okay!"

Gu Qingyuan chuckled, nodded in response, walked over and sat down generously.

He could have simply left in shame, but Gu Qingyuan became interested and wanted to see what Wang Qiang's purpose was in calling him here.

There was no tableware prepared for him on the dining table, but even if there were, Gu Qingyuan had no intention of eating. He lit a cigarette and looked at Wang Qiang with interest.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you a set of utensils."

Wang Xiaolu said with a smile, got up and walked to the cashier, took a set of tableware and placed it in front of Gu Qingyuan.

Afterwards, Xue Zhaozhao and Wang Qiang laughed and talked about some things on the construction site. It seemed that the two of them cooperated and completely regarded Gu Qingyuan as an airhead.

What kind of project cost 80,000 yuan, cement and steel bars cost 30,000 yuan? Wang Qiang’s voice was loud, his words were full of show off, and he glanced at Gu Qingyuan who was smoking from time to time.

Then we talked about cars, performance and other topics.

Showing off in front of Gu Qingyuan, or in front of Xue Zhaozhao, who had a conflict with him, Wang Qiang's purpose became obvious, he probably wanted to please Xue Zhaozhao.

Slowly, Gu Qingyuan turned his head and looked at the door casually, his eyes full of disdain.

At this time, a familiar figure came from outside the door, it was Su Rong!

Walking with Su Rong were two other girls, who should be her high school classmates.

The tables at the door were already full. It happened that the customer next to Gu Qingyuan had just left, and the shopkeeper's wife was clearing away the dishes.

Seeing this, Su Rong pulled the two girls and walked over quickly, muttering: "What a good luck!"

Xue Zhaozhao stopped eating and looked up at Su Rong intently. After she sat down, he shouted to her.

"Su Rong, right?"

"ah?"

Su Rong turned around unexpectedly and glanced at Xue Zhaozhao in confusion. This man only met Zhang Shuai a few times at that time, how could he know his name?

"oh."

Su Rong nodded and quickly turned around, obviously not wanting to deal with a gangster like Xue Zhaozhao.

Gu Qingyuan was wearing new clothes and kept his back to her. Su Rong didn't notice that he was here.

After ordering the meal, Su Rong lay down and chatted with the other two girls. They laughed and laughed for a while, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Xue Zhaozhao sat up straight with a thoughtful expression, looking towards Su Rong from time to time.

"Su Rong, just one order of dipped tofu is not enough for anyone."

Suddenly, Gu Qingyuan turned around, looked at Su Rong and said with a smile.

"ah!"

Su Rong's eyes lit up, she exclaimed with a smile, and said happily: "I didn't see you just now, do you want to eat too?"

"Um."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and nodded. Since Su Rong talked about it yesterday, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, and they are more like friends now.

"Boss, please add another portion of dipped tofu."

Su Rong stood up, waved to the boss and said something. After seeing the boss's wife nodded, she sat down again with a smile.

He moved his seat aside and patted the empty stool: "Would you like to come sit here?"

"good."

Gu Qingyuan ignored Wang Qiang and the others who looked stunned at this moment, stood up and sat directly next to Su Rong.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you the tableware."

Su Rong walked past Gu Qingyuan, took a set of tableware, and placed it in front of him. She looked a bit like a little maid as she was busy.

"Who is your partner?"

The girl opposite asked with a smile on her face, secretly looking at Gu Qingyuan. Judging from her appearance, she was still very satisfied.

"no!"

Su Rong immediately retorted. For some reason, her expression became nervous, as if the secret in her heart had been discovered.

"He is my best friend."

Su Rong explained that her heartbeat also accelerated and she didn't understand why she felt this way.

Thinking of this, Su Rong couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Qingyuan, and suddenly realized that his profile was so beautiful.

Suddenly, Wang Qiang looked at Gu Qingyuan, poured a glass of beer, and handed it to Gu Qingyuan.

"Lao Gu, you had a problem with Brother Xue at that time, so you can take this opportunity to apologize."

"hehe…"

Gu Qingyuan grinned and chuckled, looking at the rosy-faced Wang Qiang as if he were watching a joke.

He said disdainfully: "If you drink too much, talk less and don't spit shit out of your mouth."

"What the hell do you mean?"

In front of Xue Zhaozhao, Wang Qiang also gained the courage, threw the cup in his hand on the ground, stood up with a red face, and shouted loudly at Gu Qingyuan.

This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The landlady came over in a hurry and said with a frown: "Children, what are you doing during the Chinese New Year? Come on, sit down quickly."

The proprietress pushed Wang Qiang to sit on the chair again, and said worriedly: "Don't make any noise. I remember that you two often came here to eat together. We have a good relationship."

After saying that, the landlady picked up the broom and swept up the broken glass.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang was slightly startled, but soon he frowned and stared at Gu Qingyuan.

"hehe…"
