fault tolerance

Ever since Zhu Guangrong got the news that Tang Lou had returned to China, he has been busy cleaning the store.

It's not that the hygiene of the barbecue restaurant is worrying, but that the decoration...is not right.

He, Tang Lou, and Siqi were classmates from junior high school all the way to university.One is the big star's elder brother, and the other is the big star's assistant, he has more or less "brightness".

Tang Jun and Zhou Yu both like this barbecue restaurant and have eaten here several times.

Every time, I took a group photo with Zhu Guangrong.Zhou Yu also generously stamped himself on the Internet, saying, "The barbecue of the bosses is invincible in the world."

In the past two years, more than [-]% of the store's business has been thanks to the blessings of two big stars.

But it would be inconvenient for Tang Lou to know about it.

If Tang Lou knew that the business in the store was taken care of by Zhou Yu's fans, he probably wouldn't come in again.

After all, Zhu Guangrong saw Tang Lou failed in his confession and was completely dumped by Zhou Yu, and he went to the vast African continent to do archaeology in despair.

It's a pity that Tang Lou asked him to keep this matter a secret, and he didn't even have anyone to gossip about.

It's not that I don't want to talk, but I'm afraid that if I tell others, the relationship between myself and Tang Lou will be completely broken.

Nothing.

Just remove the group photo posted on the wall of the store, replace the "taro balls in sugar water" on the menu, and change the calla lily flowers in the store to pothos, and you're good to go.

Although Tang Lou is a well-educated associate professor, he has never been able to turn the corner when it comes to emotional issues, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to find out.

When Zhu Guangrong was putting the reprinted menu on the last table, Tang Lou came in with a dozen beers.

"Bosses, long time no see."

"Long time no see, long time no see." Zhu Guangrong threw the changed menu into the trash can under the table, and immediately greeted him.

Tang Lou looked around the store, frowned, seeing Zhu Guangrong's heart skipping a beat, thinking that some of the photos hadn't been taken down.

I only heard Tang Lou tease: "You really haven't changed at all here."

Zhu Guangrong heaved a sigh of relief, took the beer in his hand, and said cheerfully, "Come here, why don't you bring any presents. I don't like my wine, it doesn't taste good."

"It's delicious! How can boss Zhu's wine not taste good!" Tang Lou followed Zhu Guangrong directly and entered a private room.

In the barbecue restaurant, sunken tatami mats are used, and the empty seats under the table are not too spacious.

Tang Lou's slender legs squeezed into the seat with great difficulty, and complained: "The seat is a bit cramped."

"Professor Tang is joking, I am just a small business."

"Then order one?" Tang Lou grabbed the menu on the table, raised it, and smiled maliciously.

Tang Lou doesn't have many friends, and the best friends are Siqi and Zhu Guangrong.

Siqi was his deskmate in middle school and high school, and the two academic masters compared each other to study, and they cultivated a revolutionary friendship as they learned.But Zhu Guangrong is different, although he is a scumbag in the squad, his luck in the exam is unexpectedly good.

It's like rolling eggs on a long bench, every time he takes a big test, he can hit every single shot.

At this point, Siqi's eyes lit up with envy.

Zhu Guangrong, who was still at the bottom of the grade in the mock exam, got into Y University together with Siqi and Tang Lou when the results were announced.

Tang Lou and Zhu Guangrong were roommates during their undergraduate studies, and their relationship is even stronger.

Therefore, after dealing with the official entertainment in the school, he naturally wanted to report to the bosses.

Zhu Guangrong enthusiastically served him plate after plate of high-quality meat, and couldn't stop pitying him: "Professor Tang, I'm not used to eating outside. Look at your face is thinner again."

"Really?" Tang Lou touched his face, but he didn't think he was thin.On the contrary, during the six months of recuperation, his food was still abundant, and with the reduced amount of exercise, he still felt that he had gained weight.

"I've lost weight." Zhu Guangrong filled himself a glass of wine and filled Tang Lou, muttering non-stop, "You said you're not Tang Jun, why lose weight!"

The beer was poured into the glass, gurgling, dense foam pushed up and slid down the rim of the glass.

"It's all spilled out." Tang Lou leaned over and took a sip, "I haven't seen Ah Jun yet, I went to W City to join the crew. Has he lost weight?"

When Zhu Guangrong ate his own barbecue, he didn't feel distressed at all, and said, "Isn't that thin? I saw it last week and said it was needed for a new role. It's not easy for this actor."

"He also came to eat barbecue?" Tang Lou asked casually.

"I've been here a few times. When I'm free, they'll come." As soon as Zhu Guangrong finished speaking, he wanted to slap his mouth.

"Both of them?" The professor's ability to grasp key points continued unabated.

Ah Jun and... Zhou Yu?

Tang Lou didn't stop his hand from picking up the wine glass, passed it to his mouth and took a big gulp, swallowing down his throat with a gulp.

Zhu Guangrong wanted to find a topic in embarrassment, and rounded up: "Well, that's..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Lou's cell phone rang.

Tang Lou put down his wine glass, stared at the phone for a while, and pressed the answer button: "Hi, I'm Tang Lou."

Xiaomeng's voice came from the receiver as if picking up a life-saving straw: "Brother Tang Lou, haven't you come back yet?"

"Where are you going?" Tang Lou recognized Xiao Meng's voice, but he was still at a loss.

"Go home." Xiao Meng probably sensed Tang Lou's nervousness, and changed his tone with a relaxed tone, "I just happened to pass by your house, and I want to give you the gift money you helped buy."

Gift money?Engagement ring!

Tang Lou suddenly realized: "Don't worry, just transfer the money to me."

"I'll give it in person. I'm really sorry for delaying it for so long." Xiao Meng asked cautiously as if trying to figure out the words, "Brother, you are very busy these days? It seems that you are not at home."

"Well, the school has entertainment."

Xiao Meng suddenly repeated his words in an exaggerated voice: "So it's a school entertainment! Then you go to work first."

"Xiao Meng?" Tang Lou was not stupid, and could hear something strange about him, "Speak up when you have something to say, don't hesitate."

"No! I have nothing to do, I just want to thank you in person for bringing me a gift." Xiaomeng went back again.

Tang Lou frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Then you can wait for me for a while. I'm having dinner with my friends, and I'll be back later..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Meng hung up the phone.

Tang Lou spread his hands at Zhu Guangrong, and said with a smile, "I helped Xiaomeng bring a gift, and he is anxious to thank me face to face."

"Xiao Meng? Whose assistant is that?" Zhu Guangrong deliberately concealed Zhou Yu's name, but it also seemed that there was no silver 300 taels here.

Um.Tang Lou nodded.

"Where's my gift?" Zhu Guangrong quickly changed his face, "You bring him a gift, and I don't even have a share?"

Tang Lou was taken aback, blinking his eyes: "I've been sleeping in a tent in the wilderness, how can I give you any gift! That is the engagement ring he asked me to buy. He is waiting for the money."

Zhu Guangrong curled his mouth and complained, "Oh...you walked away without saying a word for two years, didn't you even have a gift?"

I really didn't expect to prepare a gift, Tang Lou thought to himself.

The atmosphere was brought to a strange point, but Zhu Guangrong was glad in his heart that at least the fact that Zhou Yu had been to the store had been brought over.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to drink? Don't drink, Xiao Meng is still waiting for me!" Holding the wine glass, Tang Lou touched Zhu Guangrong's glass lightly.

"drink!"

"The two you mentioned just now are Ah Jun and... Zhou Yu?" Tang Lou lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was deeper than before, "Are they together?"

"No way." Zhu Guangrong had seen Tang Lou's failed crush in the past, and he answered with cold sweat, "It's just to have a meal together once in a while."
