heavy rock

The water vapor in the copper pot evaporated, and the red meat slices, emerald green vegetables, and bluish-white prawns slid into the soup, and then rolled and floated up. The fishy smell made people salivate.

Chong Yan took a sip of cold beer and narrowed his eyes comfortably, "How about it, hot pot is also very refreshing in summer, right?"

The man sitting across from him buried his head in his meal and said without raising his head, "How can you treat guests like this? You don't let the guests choose places, but you just pick your favorite food?"

Chong Yan looked at him innocently, "Don't lobbyists do whatever they want?"

Cheng Wei picked up the beer and gulped down half a glass in one gulp, "Is that what Ke Suizhu is used for?"

Chong Yan laughed, "If you like to eat or not, I'll treat you to a meal too, and the favor owed to you will be evened out."

Hearing what he said, Cheng Wei's expression suddenly became meaningful, "Xiao Chongyan, what the hell are you doing secretly, do you really think I don't know?"

Chong Yan's heart skipped a beat, "What?"

Cheng Wei snorted, "It's not your fault, how can Gong Zhi break up with me so simply?"

Chong Yan shook his head, this man is really not easy to coax.

Cheng Wei pulled the flower-shaped beef rolls on the plate into the copper pot, his eyebrows were frowned by the heat, "Tell the waiter, I want two more plates of beef, I'm not full yet."

Chong Yan is helpless, this is a different way to toss him.Both he and Cheng Wei didn't like being watched when they were eating, and the waiters were kicked out. If they wanted to order something, they had to come by themselves.Chong Yan called the waiter in, and ordered the beef and cuttlefish smoothies that Cheng Wei wanted to eat.

Cheng Wei took the wine bottle and poured wine for the two of them, "Come, come, let's go."

Chong Yan shook his head, "Did you drink realgar wine, did you show your original shape?" He remembered that Cheng Wei was obviously a gentleman before, and this sentence suddenly revealed a bit of recklessness.The image gap is too big for him to accept.The last time I had a meal, I still worried about whether he was underage and whether he should drink or not. This time, I will "walk with him" directly.It's just like the copycat version of the gentle and elegant Cheng Gongzi before.

The copycat version of Mr. Cheng snorted coldly while holding his wine glass, "Now I don't plan to pick on you anymore, so why pretend to be with you?"

Chong Yan suddenly laughed.

Cheng Wei squinted at him, with condemnation in his eyes, "I invited you to dinner with good intentions, tell me what you did? Is there anyone like you who digs people's corners behind their backs? I really like Gong Zhi." You tell me clearly."

Chong Yan almost spit out his wine, "Who told you that I fell in love with him?"

Cheng Wei raised his chopsticks and nodded at him, "Didn't you like him and you came to disturb me?!"

Chong Yan also knew that this matter was a bit unreasonable in front of Cheng Wei, so he poured a full cup, stood up and said: "Hey, I did it unethically, I apologize to you, and I will punish myself three cups." Gudong drank a glass of beer upside down, then reached for the beer bottle.

Cheng Wei snatched the wine bottle from him, and said angrily, "You mean it. If people know about it, why don't you say I'm bullying children? Damn it."

Chong Yan sat down following his strength. It has been almost a year since he came back to life. Everyone he met during the period regarded him as a child. Today, when facing Cheng Wei, he seems to be about the same age as him by accident. The feeling of an acquaintance sitting at a roadside stall drinking and chatting about the mountains - he did this kind of thing many years ago. At that time, he was just in college, and the brothers who slept with him were also very angry, and they couldn't sleep at night. Go to the night market behind the school to eat, and sometimes drink until midnight.

For such a distant event, the details have been blurred, and now I only feel kind when I think about it.

"I really don't like Gong Zhi." Having reached this point, Chong Yan felt that it would be better to simply explain clearly, "I think Gong Er's temperament is too simple. You drag him like this, harming others and yourself ,Why bother?"

Cheng Wei didn't say anything.

"I like Gong Er quite a bit," Chong Yan couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he had already decided that he was sabotaging, so he couldn't let him misunderstand his motives, "I just like it, nothing else. Don't you think Gong Er Is this child very distressing?"

Cheng Wei put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine and said, "Chongyan, do you know that Gong Er and I are real bamboo horses. The kind that grew up together. He loved to follow me when he was young, and he kept calling him brother and brother, calling Gong Er It's so sour it's going to die."

"How rare." Chong Yan envied him sincerely, "There is someone who loves you since childhood, and intends to love you for the rest of his life."

Cheng Wei had a serious expression on his face, "I used to persuade myself that way."

"advise?"

Cheng Wei drank the remaining half glass of wine, "Yeah, persuasion. Don't you understand? I owe him a lot of favors. No matter what he does, if I don't appreciate it, it will be so bad in the eyes of others." Just a bastard who is worse than a pig or a dog."

Chong Yan didn't understand this logic, "You have delayed Gong Er's youth, are you still justifiable?"

Cheng Wei glanced at him with gloomy eyes, "Others must have never told you about these things, let me tell you a long story short. Didn't Gong Er love to follow me since he was a child? Then one time, someone wanted to kidnap Young Master Sun of the Cheng family and take the sheep with him. , kidnapped him together.”

Chong Yan subconsciously sat up straight.

"I won't talk about the details inside." Cheng Wei waved his hands, as if trying to shake off some dirty things sticking to his hands, "Anyway, I was going to kill me, but I hurt Gong Zhi. The police rescued us. At the time, he had already lost too much blood and went into shock, and he almost failed to be rescued."

Chong Yan didn't know what to say.I just feel that sometimes, things that happen to the same person have something in common.Inexplicably, he felt a sympathy for Cheng Wei in his heart.

"How old were you then?"

"Thirteen," Cheng Wei didn't want to think about it, "or fourteen."

Chong Yan nodded, for a boy, it was almost the age of first love.Gong Zhi must have fallen in love with the boy opposite at that time.

"Later he said he liked me, and even my mother sighed, saying it's a pity that he is a boy, and I don't know if I can meet someone who treats me so well in my life." Cheng Wei smiled bitterly, "That's my mother, what do you think? Think about it, she said that, what would others think? I was really..."

I really can't get out.Chong Yan thought to himself, just like him back then.

"Gong Zhi is not wrong." Chong Yan sighed softly, Gong Zhi is indeed not wrong, but fate always seems to be playing a joke on him, and the people he meets are always a little bit worse than him in terms of fate .

"I didn't say he was wrong." Cheng Wei said, "But no matter how delicious something is, eating it by yourself and being forced to eat it by others, will the feeling be the same?"

Chong Yan didn't know what to say.The inside story of this incident somewhat exceeded his expectations.

"Then you shouldn't play with his feelings."

Cheng Wei looked at him very depressed, "Don't you think I'm the one being played with? I'm already engaged, and the scene is still arranged so big, what else can I do?"

"You always have people around you, and you're still hooking up all over the street."

Cheng Wei didn't care about this kind of accusation at all, "You also said that it's hooking up, what you love and what I want, it's not about robbing civilian men."

Thinking of Gong Zhi's innocent face, Chong Yan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Cheng Wei asked again: "What did you tell Gong Er?"

Chong Yan asked him back, "Do you really want to know?"

"It's nothing more than eating that day," Cheng Wei thought for a while, "Did you install a camera in the room?"

Chong Yan smiled, "Almost."

Cheng Wei was actually just asking out of curiosity. Hearing what he said, he stopped asking and just shook his head and said, "I don't dare to pick on you just because I'm jealous of you. I just like the little white rabbit with a pure heart." ——What a little white rabbit.”

Chong Yan laughed, "If you want to follow your request, Gong Er is a real little white rabbit."

Cheng Wei quickly waved his hand, "Please forgive me."

"Then let's not talk about that." Chongyan asked the waiter to open a few more bottles of wine, "By the way, I have something else to ask you, is your family in the daily chemical business?"

Cheng Wei asked him back, "Which aspect?"

Chong Yan said: "Cosmetics."

"What do you ask this for?"

Chong Yan didn't hide from him, "Because I'm planning to do this."

There was a hint of interest on Cheng Wei's face, "You want to start a business? Where did you get the money from?"

"Mr. Li gave some pocket money, and I'll use it to trade in futures." Chong Yan wanted to establish a relationship with the Cheng family, so there was nothing to hide about these things. "I also recruited two other investors, and we are preparing."

"I said, why did you take the initiative to invite me to dinner? It turned out that a night owl came into the house and had no good intentions." Cheng Wei didn't get a taste of it until now, "Tell me, what's your plan?"

"No idea," Chong Yan shook his head honestly, "Just when I saw you, I suddenly remembered that there is a cosmetics association or something, is it led by the Cheng family?"

When talking about these things, Cheng Wei automatically switched from the copycat mode to the elite mode, and his whole aura changed. "Now there are so many similar associations, they are so numerous that they have no gold content at all."

Chong Yan knew that this sentence was just a foreshadowing, and quickly followed his words and asked, "What about the one the Cheng family picked?"

Cheng Wei dipped his chopsticks in beer and drew a simple icon on the desktop, "The Cheng family took the lead. The full name is the Cosmetics, Flavors and Fragrances Industry Association. Approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the purpose is to promote the development of the industry. It acts as a bridge and link between departments and enterprises. This is a national, industry-oriented, non-profit social organization with more than 100 existing member units. The association carries out activities in accordance with the charter, and its highest authority is the member representative General Assembly."

Cheng Wei spoke earnestly, and Chong Yan listened earnestly. He was about to take over this matter in the future. He was still a layman, so he felt a little stressed.

"What are the benefits of joining this association?"

"You're asking too much of a philistine," Cheng Wei said dissatisfied, "Didn't you hear me? Promote the development of the industry and build a bridge of communication and cooperation between the competent government departments and enterprises."

"Is there a collusion between government and business?" Chong Yan didn't take his explanation seriously, "I understand."

Cheng Wei rolled his eyes, "In short, that's it. The association holds regular meetings to share new technologies and achievements, and promote internal communication."

Chongyan pondered, joining such an association seemed to be beneficial, at least it would increase the popularity in the industry, "What are the conditions for joining this association?"

Cheng Wei looked at him, "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Chong Yan stared at him, "Do you think I've been telling stories for half a day?"

Cheng Wei's expression also became more serious, "If you're serious, it's not the same rhetoric, wait until I go back and get a file for you to see."

Chong Yan hurriedly said: "Okay, then thank you."

Cheng Wei sneered, "Can't I eat you for nothing?"

"You can't say that," Chong Yan quickly stood up and poured wine for the two of them. "Cooperation means common development. Could it be that I am looking for you just to take advantage of you?"

Cheng Wei asked him, "What exactly does the one you want to get do?"

"It's mainly the essence," Chong Yan said, "the essence is extracted from the flowers and leaves."

Cheng Wei thought for a while, "If this is the case, there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Chong Yanxin said it was inevitable, why don't you treat me to dinner, I didn't burn too much money.Although Cheng Wei was taken care of by him in his previous life, he had cooperated with the head of the Cheng family. How could he not know what the Cheng family was doing.It's just that I can't remember exactly which year the association led by the Cheng family was established.He only remembered that this association would develop well in the future and would have a great influence in the industry. Since he wanted to do this now, it would of course be beneficial to get a seat early.

Chong Yan smiled and said, "Then I will respect Cheng Shao first, and hope to have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Cheng Wei looked at the boy in front of him thoughtfully. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, Chongyan was very active, and there was a Li family behind him. Maybe things would come true in the future, and it would be good to make a good relationship in advance.

"Xiaoxiang Road, Wanli, Furong, young phoenixes are clearer than old phoenixes." Cheng Wei raised his wine glass to touch him, "I wish you success."
