Chapter 7 Frosted Margaritas

Xu Zheng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Fu Yue here. He was wearing a white shirt and there was a man in a suit beside him.

Fu Yue smiled and walked over to greet Xu Zheng. This time he could really say, "Hi, what a coincidence."

Xu Zheng reacted and introduced the people around him: "Yes, what a coincidence, this is He Ruifei, the third shareholder of He's Enterprise, and this is Fu Yue, my new neighbor."

He Ruifei stretched out his hand and said to Fu Yue, "Fu Yue, nice to meet you."

Fu Yue shook hands with He Ruifei: "Me too."

He Ruifei asked Fu Yue: "How did you get here? I drove the car, should I take you back?"

Fu Yue said: "I drove the car myself, Xu Zheng, have you been drinking?" He could smell the faint smell of alcohol on Xu Zheng's body.

He Ruifei said: "It's okay, I let Xiao Xu drink a few cups, but I didn't drink, I can send him back."

Xu Zheng said: "Boss He, we don't go the same way, so I won't bother you. I'll just take the subway back by myself."

"Then how can I do it?" He Ruifei said: "You did me a big favor, I invited you out for dinner, how can I make you squeeze the subway back?"

Fu Yue said at the right time: "Then I'll send Xu Zheng back, we all live in the same place, and Boss He doesn't bother running around."

Before He Ruifei could say anything else, Xu Zheng said, "Okay, thank you."

He Ruifei couldn't say anything more, so he just said, "Xiao Xu, pay attention to safety, and send me a message when you get home. Fu Yue, I'll leave it to you to send Xiao Xu back."

... What kind of tone is this?Please?Fu Yue had complicated thoughts and said, "Okay."

He Ruifei said goodbye to them and left Sushida Hotel.

Seeing He Ruifei go away, Xu Zheng said: "Before, there was a serious internal struggle in He's company. I helped He Ruifei win a lawsuit. He invited me to dinner here today just to thank me."

The corner of Fu Yue's mouth curled up: "Well, I'll take you home."

The two walked side by side to the underground parking lot. As they got closer, Fu Yue could smell the alcohol on Xu Zheng's body, which was clearer and refreshing. He asked, "Did you drink a frosted margarita?"

Xu Zheng glanced at him: "Are you a connoisseur of wine?" You can smell it all.

Fu Yue said: "I drank it before and liked the taste very much, so I was quite impressed. You can't be regarded as an expert in wine. It's just that you have been traveling here and there over the years, socializing a lot, drinking a lot, and knowing more... Are you familiar with He Ruifei?"

"I'm not familiar with you, what's the matter?"

"No, I just feel that the way he asked me to send you back is like a parent entrusting a child to a teacher." This metaphor is too vivid, Fu Yue thinks, that's how it feels.

Xu Zheng said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on with him either. If there are no more disputes in the He family, He Ruifei and I should have nothing to do with each other in the future."

Fu Yue could hear clearly that Xu Zheng's relationship with He Ruifei was the relationship between the lawyer and the client. If the client was fine, they would have no relationship.

They got into the car, Fu Yue drove steadily, and they drove into the night.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the rush hour for getting off work had passed, and there were no cars on the road. Fu Yue looked ahead and said, "I'm going to the Sushida Hotel today to attend the reunion of my college classmates."

"Big Z?" Xu Zheng asked.

Fu Yue smiled: "How do you know?"

Xu Zheng said: "Generally, college parties are held in the city where I studied at the university. I know that the Department of Architecture of Z University is very famous, so I just guessed it casually."

Good guy, I guessed his school casually, the lawyer's guessing is good.

"What about you? Do you go to school in City H?" Fu Yue asked.

Xu Zheng replied: "No, the university I attended outside went to a combined undergraduate and master's program, and I just graduated last year."

It turned out not to be an alumni.

Fu Yue said, "That's it. Have you ever been to a class reunion?"

"I've been there, the kindergarten class reunion." Xu Zheng turned his head to look at him, "Do you believe it?"

"Ah?" Fu Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Believe..."

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "It's true. One year after graduating from kindergarten, our kindergarten teacher had a whim and wanted to gather us together on June [-]st to have a children's carnival."

Fu Yue imagined a situation where a bunch of parents blocked him: "This, can the parents agree?"

"At the beginning, most of the parents disagreed. Later, the teacher persuaded them one by one, and many parents changed their minds and voted for it." Xu Zheng remembers clearly the scene when the teacher came to his home to communicate with his parents.

Fu Yue said: "Then this teacher must be very charming and thoughtful."

Xu Zheng said: "The teacher was just pregnant at that time, and we were the only students she brought from the small class to the big class. She wanted to leave us a good memory, and this was the last time she took care of so many children."

There was a red light in front of him, Fu Yue stopped and looked at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng said: "Because she will be a full-time wife after giving birth." He took out his phone, opened the gallery, and showed Fu Yue a photo.

On a meadow, children circled several small circles, and the center of the circle was filled with food. The woman in the middle was wearing a strawberry floral dress, smiling happily. The children were eating, talking, and some were dancing. Some are playing games, some are hooking their fingers, and hanging themselves for 100 years will not change. I don’t know how to use their childlike heart to earnestly promise unswerving promises until death.There is also a circle of parents outside, smiling and looking at their children.

It's dreamy, like a fairy tale.

Fu Yue looked at a child wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, sitting upright, smiling and showing his small canine teeth, and asked, "Is this you?"

Xu Zheng nodded.

So cute, Fu Yue thought, "Do you remember what you were doing then?"

Xu Zheng said: "I was playing with the people next to me. My mother held up the camera and called my name. I turned my head and she captured it."

The red light turned green, and Fu Yue drove forward, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly.

Xu Zheng looked at Fu Yue's side face and said, "This is the only classmate reunion in my memory that is full of people."

Fu Yue said: "In my impression, there is no classmate who is full of people at a time, and I have never participated in a kindergarten class reunion."

After Fu Yue finished speaking, he made himself laugh, and Xu Zheng also laughed.

Fu Yue said suddenly: "Your mother must be a very good mother."

Xu Zheng was silent for a moment, and asked, "You haven't seen her before, why did you say that?"

"Look at you." Fu Yue turned to the right, "To raise someone as good as you, my mother must be good too."

Xu Zheng looked out the car window: "My mother is indeed very good, and also...very strict." He seemed unwilling to mention his mother too much, and changed the subject: "I'm ready, I'll get out of the car and go to the supermarket to buy some thing."

Fu Yue blurted out: "I'll go too, let's go together."

Xu Zheng asked: "You want to buy something too?"

In fact, Fu Yue didn't intend to buy anything, but just wanted to walk a little longer with Xu Zheng, he said, "Yes, buy something to eat."

After parking the car in the underground garage, the two went to the supermarket downstairs in the community together.

Xu Zheng pushed the shopping cart, and in a blink of an eye it was stuffed with a bunch of fresh and long-lasting vegetables, two catties of beef, two bags of handmade fish balls, a can of nuts, a box of yogurt, etc. Fu Yue looked at the full shopping cart, It seems to see nutrition such as vitamins and proteins, and see the big two words, health.

Passing by the snack area, Fu Yue walked towards Xu Zheng and stuffed a pack of potato chips into Xu Zheng's shopping cart. Xu Zheng looked at the out-of-fit potato chips and asked Fu Yue, "Do you want to buy it?"

Fu Yue said, "I'll eat it for you."

Xu Zheng said, "I don't eat potato chips."

"why?"

"Fried food, less nutritious, difficult to digest, high blood fat, high cholesterol, long-term eating will..."

"Wait a minute." Fu Yue interrupted Xu Zheng, "It's not that serious to eat once in a while. The person standing in front of you must be energetic enough and still alive."

Xu Zheng scanned him from top to bottom: "30-year-old men should take care of themselves. It's easy to get fat in middle age at this age. Fu Yue, don't rely on your foundation to be fearless. Listen to me, don't eat it!" That's it." He put the potato chips back on the shelf, pushed the shopping cart and walked on.

"Hey." Fu Yue caught up with him from behind, "I just don't eat, why bother reminding me that I am approaching middle age, Xu Zheng, you are really the youngest health-preserving person I have ever seen."

Xu Zheng asked back: "Isn't it good to keep in good health?"

Fu Yue thought for a while: "...Okay."

"It's hard to buy good health. You'll know it when you get old. My mother is a Chinese medicine doctor. She has seen too many people who didn't cherish their bodies when they were young and regretted it when they were old. They hurt here and there every day. They don't sleep well. Okay, it hurts everywhere." Xu Zheng put a pack of chrysanthemums and a pack of mint into the shopping cart.

Fu Yue humbly accepted: "I have been taught, and I will learn from you in the future."

Xu Zheng gave him a look, which seemed to be a "good" compliment.

After they finished shopping, Fu Yue took a box of strawberries on the way back.

It's so bright, it looks so sweet.

The two settled their bills, and as soon as they walked out of the door, a little girl stepped forward to stop Fu Yue.

Fu Yue showed a puzzled look.

The little girl handed Fu Yue a flyer and said, "Hello, handsome guy, our company specializes in helping college students in their juniors and seniors find internships and jobs. This is our company's official account, address and phone number. If you If you need it, you can come to our company, we will help you very warmly and earnestly, this is my WeChat ID, you can contact me if you have anything, I will reply in seconds, you can add me."

Out of politeness, Fu Yue took it with his hand and said, "Thank you, but I'm not a college student, so I won't add you."

"Aren't you a college student?" The little girl looked him up and down, "Don't lie to me, add a WeChat account, even if you don't have trouble finding a job, you can come and chat with me."

Fu Yue said awkwardly: "I'm 30 years old, I'm really not young."

The little girl was persistent, and the more frustrated she became, the more courageous she became. She said, "Handsome guy, our boss wants to talk about performance, so add me to WeChat and do me a favor, okay?"

Seeing that the little girl didn't look like a bad person, Fu Yue took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code. The little girl was very happy after joining Fu Yue, her face was flushed, and she said, "See you again when I have a chance." After speaking, he ran into the supermarket.

Fu Yue smiled at Xu Zheng, and said with some embarrassment: "Maybe it's because I'm dressed casually that she mistook me for a college student."

Xu Zheng sees through everything: "It's probably not because of the company that she insists on adding you on WeChat."

Fu Yue laughed awkwardly: "I added her using the WeChat account of Xiangzhu Office."

Xu Zheng snorted: "The official account is for private use."

Fu Yue waved his hand: "What if someone needs it in the future? Right."

Xu Zheng chuckled silently.

The two entered the elevator, and there were only the two of them in the elevator.

The square seemed to be extremely small, and when they reached the sixteenth floor, both of them were sweating a little.

At the door of Xu Zheng's house, Fu Yue quickly stuffed the strawberries into Xu Zheng's shopping bag, and said, "For you, thank you for your health care guidance, I'll go first."

Xu Zheng said: "Wait." He took out chrysanthemum and mint from the shopping bag, handed them to Fu Yue, and said, "Your eyes are a little blue now, you have stayed up late recently, make some chrysanthemum tea and mint tea, it is good for your eyes .”

"...Thank you, I'll make it, bye." Fu Yue took it with a smile, and the soles of his feet got oily.

Xu Zheng closed the door and took out the box of strawberries, juicy and heart-shaped.

It should be, very sweet.
