mild compromise

I'm not sure about this, aren't you his friend?Just call him and ask him. "

This time, Fang Jin hung up Guan Meng's phone directly. Guan Meng tried to send him a WeChat message, asking where he was now, but found that he had been blocked by the other party.

Sometimes, Guan Meng really doesn't want to think about the bad side. After all, the other party is a good friend he has known for five years, but things are obviously getting more and more wrong. So far, all signs indicate that Fang Jin lied to Guan Meng After getting the money, he ran away, and deliberately avoided him.

In today's materialistic society, 15 yuan is not even enough for a down payment on a better building, but it is the hard-earned money that Guan Meng has accumulated for a long time. Because he left campus prematurely, he was forced to see A lot of the bad side of this society.People's hearts are always complicated, especially when it comes to money issues, even the closest friends may turn against each other.

Until this moment, Guan Meng also had a hard time accepting the facts in front of him. He chose to trust Fang Jin without reservation and lent all his savings to the other party, but now he has nothing. The person he trusted was deceived, and what made him feel even more desperate was that when this happened, there was no one around him to cry and ask for help.

Xiao Chenghao has been on a business trip recently, so he can only use the little leisure time left when he goes back to the hotel to rest at night to keep in touch with Guan Meng through information.

I don't know if it's because of his own worries, Xiao Chenghao feels that Guan Meng seems to be a bit depressed these days, when he chatted with Guan Meng in the past, Guan Meng always talked a lot, and he always liked to send himself a lot of cute cartoon emoticons Bao, but recently Xiao Chenghao sent a message to Guan Meng, and it took almost a long time for the other party to reply with a few extremely short words.Xiao Chenghao thought that Guan Meng was unhappy because he said something wrong, and repeatedly dug out the previous chat records and checked them word by word, but in the end he didn't find anything wrong.

Xiao Chenghao spent a lot of time trying to find ways to ask Guan Meng, but in the end Guan Meng just told him that he was tired from work and wanted to go to bed early, so he didn't reply to his messages.

Xiao Chenghao immediately called Lao Cai, and the first thing he said was: "Cai Zhuohua, have you forced your employees to work overtime recently?"

Lao Cai was a little confused, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"What's going on with Guan Meng recently? He told me just now that he was tired from work. What did you do to him?"

"I'll go, why do I think your words are a bit weird..."

"Did you force the employees to work overtime?" Xiao Chenghao asked again.

"No, the gallery always comes to work on time. But Xiao Guan seems to be a bit unmotivated to go to work recently." Lao Cai recalled, "He often deserts, seems to have something on his mind, and is always depressed. .”

The other end was quiet for a moment, and said: "I'll be back in two days, before that, please help me pay more attention to him, please." in a pleading tone.

"Xiaoguan, pack your things early today, and I'll invite everyone out for dinner after get off work." Before leaving get off work, Lao Cai came over and said to Guan Meng.

"Boss, I have something to do today, so I won't go with everyone."

"Oh, that's it." Lao Cai looked at Guan Meng thoughtfully, without asking him what the matter was, just nodded, "Okay, then next time first."

After get off work, Guan Meng ordered a casual meal at a fast food restaurant outside, and sat alone in the corner to eat.

Fang Jin's incident has always made him depressed. He once thought about calling the police, but when he took out his mobile phone and pressed 110 on the keyboard to dial out, he stopped again.

Sometimes Guan Meng thinks he is quite stupid, obviously things have developed like this, but he still believes in Fang Jin wishfully, and the other party has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the other party is not intentionally trying to deceive him, maybe he is someone else. There are difficulties... Of course, all of this may be just an excuse used by Guan Meng to comfort himself.

A hand stretched out from behind and put it on Guan Meng's shoulder, "Xiao Guan, what a coincidence, you are eating here too!"

Turning his head, Guan Meng was a little dazed for a moment when he looked at the elegantly dressed, handsome man in front of him. He never remembered that he knew such a number one person.

After being stunned for two seconds, he asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Tsk tsk..." Mu Yuan pushed back the broken hair that was hanging on his forehead, "Do you recognize me now?"

"Brother Yuan?!" Guan Meng suddenly realized, "It's you!"

Mu Yuan laughed, pulled a chair, and sat down beside Guan Meng, "Dining here alone?"

"Ah."

"I'm alone too. Today my daughter-in-law has a dinner outside, so I'll just come out and find a place to settle it." Mu Yuan raised his hand and beckoned the waiter to come and place an order, "By the way, Xiaoguan, do you have an appointment tonight? people?"

Guan Meng took two mouthfuls of rice, "No, what's the matter?"

"My bar is newly opened. It's the first day of trial camp tonight. If you don't have a show, come and sit with me tonight. I'll give you all free bills!"

Guan Meng didn't go to the bar many times. He used to come to play with Fang Jin and several anchors. This is the first time he went to the bar with friends outside the anchor circle.

Knowing that Guan Meng didn't know anyone in the store, Mu Yuan took extra care of him and stayed by his side to chat with him.

"Xiao Guan, look at your frowning face, has something unhappy happened to you?"

"Recently, it's not going my way." Guan Meng nodded slightly.

"What's going on?"

Guan Meng bit his lower lip lightly, took a sip of his wine, and said nothing.

"It's okay, don't say anything if you don't want to say it." Mu Yuan added a little wine to Guan Meng's glass, "Let's drink happily tonight, don't think about anything!"

As the owner of the bar, Mu Yuangui has a lot of personnel, and his brothers and friends come to him every now and then. Guan Meng sees that he is so busy, so he is embarrassed to let him stay by his side all the time, "Brother Yuan, you still go to entertain yourself." Friends, don't worry about me, I'll just sit here and have a drink."

"That's all right. I'll go there for a while and say hello to them. If you need anything, just tell the bartender. The cost will be on me."

After Mu Yuan left, Guan Meng sat alone in front of the bar and drank. From time to time, a few men with keen intuition came to strike up a conversation with him, but Mu Yuan rejected them one by one.

"Sorry, I'm just here for a drink." Facing the tall man in front of him, Guan Meng declined his request for his contact information.

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want to make friends with you." Compared with the previous few people, this man is obviously not so easy to deal with, he lingers around Guan Meng relentlessly, "I see Come out, you and I are actually the same kind of people, since we are all in the same circle, it doesn't hurt to get to know each other."

Guan Meng didn't speak, and took a sip of wine quietly, the blush on his cheeks could be faintly seen under the dim light.

The man suddenly reached out to touch his face, but Guan Meng patted him away vigilantly.

The subject smiled, "I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You've been sitting here drinking alone, and you don't want to chat with other people. Do you have something on your mind?"

Guan Meng didn't want to talk to him.

The man asked again: "Did you argue with your boyfriend?"

Guan Meng remained silent.

"Or did you say you broke up with your boyfriend?"

Guan Meng picked up his wine glass, got off the high chair, and was about to change to another place to drink. The man grabbed his arm and pulled him to his side.

There was a sudden turbulence in his stomach, and he felt a severe tightness in his chest, followed by a strong sense of nausea. Guan Meng couldn't help but vomited out, and the vomit splashed on the opponent.

The man was furious, he pushed Guan Meng hard, Guan Meng lost his mind and fell to the ground.

Mu Yuan was chatting with his brothers, when he heard a quarrel-like sound coming from the bar, he ran over curiously to see the situation.Pushing aside the crowd, Guan Meng was lying on the ground for some reason, with wine mixed with glass shards scattered around, and a strange man standing beside him cursing.

"What's going on here?" Mu Yuan grabbed a younger brother next to him and asked.

The little brother pointed at Guan Meng and told Mu Yuan: "Just now he was drinking at the bar, and that man went over to strike up a conversation with him, but he ignored him, and that guy kept pestering him. Maybe he couldn't help vomiting because he drank too much, accidentally Dirty the other party's clothes."

Mu Yuan frowned, and was about to step forward to help Guan Meng up, when the man next to him squatted down, grabbed Guan Meng's collar and shook him vigorously, yelling at him: "Fuck, what do you think you are? Big man, what the hell are you pretending to be arrogant for? "

Guan Meng struggled, trying to push him away, the man was very angry, and grabbed Guan Meng's hair to drag him up.

Mu Yuan got mad on the spot, rushed forward, punched the man twice in front of everyone, pulled him away from Guan Meng by his clothes, "Damn you! I'm opening a new store! What kind of trouble did you come here to make trouble, and you dare to do something to my friend, are you fucking courting death, right?!"

Mu Yuan didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, so he taught him a lesson and asked his younger brother to drive that guy out of the shop.

Mu Yuan helped Guan Meng who was lying on the ground, took him into the lounge inside, and let him rest on the sofa.

"Xiaoguan, where do you live? I'll take you home."

The drunk and unconscious Guan Meng murmured and shook his head vigorously.

Mu Yuan had no choice but to call Lao Cai.

Xiao Chenghao received a call from Lao Cai
