Chapter One Hundred and Seven: You Are Allowed to Sleep on the Floor!
Jiang Yun took off his suit jacket, folded it neatly, and placed it on the nearby sofa.
“Brother Jiang Yun, order first!” Tian Zhen handed him the menu.
Jiang Yun did not stand on ceremony and took it.
“Why do we have to let those two order first?” Zhou Lun complained.
“Exactly!” Wang Feng echoed.
“You two greasy men don’t have the fresh charm my Brother Jiang Yun has!” Tian Zhen said something rather suggestive.
“Damn it!” Zhou Lun kicked the table. “How are we greasy?”
“Yeah, are we greasy?” Wang Feng was speechless. “We’re very refined, okay?”
“Refined? Refined my ass!” Tian Zhen pointed at the coats of Zhou Lun and Wang Feng. “Look at you two just throwing your jackets around, while Brother Jiang Yun folded his neatly and put it there!”
Jiang Yun laughed helplessly. So that was it.
Zhou Lun said, “You called us greasy just because of that?”
“Bingo!”
“Damn it!” Wang Feng kicked the table too. “As expected, the details decide success or failure!”
Tian Zhen could not really stop Wang Feng and Zhou Lun from ordering. He took out two menus and handed them over.
“We’re not ordering! I’m so mad I’m full!” Zhou Lun folded his arms with a proud little huff. “I, a reigning superstar, was actually called greasy!”
“Then don’t order!” Tian Zhen puffed up as well.
A little later, Jiang Yun saw Zhou Lun over at the ordering machine, placing his order himself.
Tian Zhen rolled his eyes.
“Purple Crystal Eggplant, please enjoy!”
The waiter began serving the dishes.
“Private Kitchen Stir-Fried Pork, please enjoy!”
“Crystal Sprout Tofu with Fermented Bean Curd, please enjoy!”
Jiang Yun was a little speechless. Crystal Sprout Tofu with Fermented Bean Curd was nothing more than stir-fried bean sprouts with two cubes of fermented tofu, wasn’t it?
Still, he did not make a fuss, lest people think he was a bumpkin.
“Do any of you three drink?” Tian Zhen asked.
“A little, sure!”
Jiang Yun was still fixating on the Crystal Sprout Tofu with Fermented Bean Curd and took a bite.
What was this? Just blanched bean sprouts! It was awful. It would be better to go eat barbecue at Red Romance.
“Waiter!”
“Hello, what can I get you?”
Tian Zhen said, “Two bottles of Tai wine, and one bottle of French red!”
“Certainly, please wait a moment!”
“Tian Zhen, you ordered red wine, so you’re drinking too?” Zhou Lun asked.
“A little, sure!”
“Oh!”
Tian Zhen began telling them a funny story of his own. “Let me tell you, there was a period when I had to drink two cans of beer before bed every night, or I couldn’t fall asleep!”
“Heh heh!”
“Haha!”
Wang Feng and Zhou Lun laughed along.
“Brother Jiang Yun? Brother Jiang Yun?”
Jiang Yun finally looked up. “Hm? What is it?”
Tian Zhen asked, “What are you thinking about? So seriously.”
“Nothing. I was just thinking that next time, we should still go to the barbecue place at Red Romance.”
Tian Zhen laughed. “What, wasn’t this to your taste?”
“It was all right.”
“You say it was all right, and I know it wasn’t!” Zhou Lun said with the air of an expert.
Jiang Yun only smiled.
The four of them ate and drank together.
“Cheers!”
They clinked glasses.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock sounded at the door.
“Come in!”
The waiter pushed open the private room door and stepped inside, then froze. Wasn’t this Zhou Lun, Tian Zhen, Wang Feng, and Jiang Yun?
The waiter quickly collected himself and displayed professional polish. “Gentlemen, we are closing soon, so please settle the bill first.”
“What time is it?” Zhou Lun asked.
“It’s already eleven thirty.”
“All right, I’ll do it.” Zhou Lun stood up, ready to pay.
“I should be the one to pay, didn’t I say this meal was on me?” Tian Zhen said.
“Then fine, you pay.” Zhou Lun sat back down and looked up at the ceiling.
Tian Zhen rolled his eyes and paid on his phone.
The four of them left the country restaurant.
Zhou Lun got into the car. “I’m heading back to the hotel first.”
“All right, Brother Zhou, take care on the road.”
Zhou Lun nodded.
A little later, a yellow Beetle slowly rolled to a stop in front of the three of them.
Jiang Yun smiled brightly. “Sister Tian, Brother Wang, I’ll head off first too.”
Tian Zhen rolled his eyes. Seeing Jiang Yun smile so brilliantly, he knew it could not be anything good. “Why isn’t it your little assistant?”
Jiang Yun only smiled and said nothing.
Li Mengya was driving the yellow Beetle, and Jiang Yun got into the front passenger seat.
He asked, “Been waiting long?”
“Not too long.”
The yellow Beetle pulled away slowly.
Jiang Yun’s manners with alcohol were exceptionally good. He did not shout, did not act drunk, and did not become talkative.
After drinking, Jiang Yun simply became quiet.
Li Mengya drove to an intersection with a traffic light. Just as the light turned green and she was about to move off,
a figure suddenly collapsed in front of the yellow Beetle.
“Damn it! What bad luck!” Jiang Yun kicked the car door.
Li Mengya frowned too. They had run into a scammer.
She started the car and was about to pull over.
The person flopped onto the hood of the yellow Beetle. “No, you can’t go. This is evidence!”
Jiang Yun had just drunk and was eager to go back and rest. Now some random person had popped out and ruined the mood.
He immediately blew up. “Fine! Fine! Fine!”
He said “fine” three times. “I’m taking it up with this person tonight!”
Beep! Beep!
The cars behind them began honking.
“Pull over to the side. Ignore him!”
Li Mengya nodded and slowly drove to the roadside, while the person kept chasing after the car.
“Tch.”
Jiang Yun sneered. “I thought he really wouldn’t move.”
Li Mengya had parked by the roadside, and Jiang Yun was about to call the police. After all, there was a dashcam.
“Jiang Yun, don’t make it so complicated. It’s so late already, and we still have to attend the concert tomorrow. Let’s go back and rest early. You only have tomorrow off.”
Jiang Yun frowned. “Then what should we do?”
“Don’t waste time. See how much he wants.”
“This...” Jiang Yun frowned.
Li Mengya was preparing to get out of the car, but Jiang Yun stopped her. “I’ll handle it.”
“Mm. You’ve been drinking, so mind your tone. Don’t start a fight.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yun got out of the car and secretly turned on the recording function on his phone.
He walked up to the person and found that it was a middle-aged woman. Jiang Yun frowned. “How much do you want?”
“I don’t want money. You have to take me to the hospital.”
Jiang Yun almost laughed from anger. Take you to the hospital? I think you’re the one with something wrong in the head. Once you get to the hospital, even if you have nothing wrong, they’ll find something wrong.
“Five thousand. Take it or leave it.” Jiang Yun took five thousand yuan from his wallet and threw it beside the middle-aged woman.
“Hmph.”
The middle-aged woman got up from the ground and picked up the five thousand yuan. “At least you know what’s good for you!”
Jiang Yun’s face darkened as he forced down his anger and got back into the yellow Beetle. Just don’t let me run into you again.
Li Mengya drove toward Fanhai Garden.
She parked in the garage, and the two of them got out.
They took the elevator to the seventh floor. Li Mengya opened the door, and the two of them went inside.
“What, still angry?”
Jiang Yun said nothing.
Li Mengya comforted him. “Oh, don’t be angry. Think about it: you finally get a day off, and then something this small delays you. Wouldn’t that just waste your time for nothing?”
“Now it’s your turn to console me?” Jiang Yun still looked displeased.
“All right, all right, stop being angry.”
“Hoo... I’m not angry.”
“Come here.” Li Mengya beckoned him over mysteriously.
Jiang Yun frowned and walked toward her.
Standing on tiptoe, Li Mengya leaned close to Jiang Yun’s ear and whispered mysteriously, “As long as you’re not angry, I’ll allow you to sleep on the bedroom floor!”
