Chapter 909 Overestimating one’s own capabilities
Korean BBQ restaurant, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Dong Qingfeng spoke wittily and made Zhou Jinglan smile frequently without neglecting Meng Ziyun.
Meng Ziyun smiled on the surface, but she was actually already dissatisfied in her heart. What does that mean? You can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, right?
She knew about Dong Qingfeng's tricks. When she was chatting with Qingfeng's mother before, she asked her which girlfriend she was, and Meng Ziyun almost exploded.
At this moment, Zhou Jinglan smiled and said, "You are quite interesting in your words."
Cui Yu joked, "Practice makes perfect!"
Wang Longlong: "Hey, Brother Yu, when you say this, Brother Nan will be unhappy!"
Shan Kaiquan exposed Guo Kunnan's past: "Brother Nan added a girl in the nearby people yesterday, and was deleted after only saying three sentences."
Guo Kunnan, who was eating meat, looked embarrassed. Why did they pick him out and whip him repeatedly? This would affect his image in Zhou Jinglan's eyes.
Meng Ziyun seized the opportunity and said, "Jinglan, you think Dong Qingfeng's words are interesting. Have you ever met a boy whose words are not interesting before?"
Everyone was keenly aware of the sharpness hidden in her words.
Guo Kunnan knew that the opportunity to play his role had come, and he immediately defended his master: "I am the boy who speaks in a boring way, haha!"
"Brother Nan, there's no need for that." Shan Kaiquan was in a state of panic, Wang Longlong was silent, and Cui Yu opened his mouth, not knowing how to finish.
Even Zhou Jinglan rarely meets boys of this level, and she was speechless.
Meng Ziyun's words were indeed picked up, but unfortunately the atmosphere froze. She stopped attacking Zhou Jinglan and said with a smile: "You think Qingfeng's words are interesting, but in fact he can't be all-round, and he has been disliked by other girls."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the box looked over, and Zhou Jinglan was no exception.
Meng Ziyun: "I'm with Qingfeng now, and my bestie always thinks we're not a good match, and she wants to introduce me to a more handsome boy."
Having said that, she glanced at Zhou Jinglan out of the corner of her eye, implicitly declaring her sovereignty. She was reminding him, woman, Dong Qingfeng is my man, stay away from him!
Zhou Jinglan was unmoved. Ever since she accidentally provoked the leopard print girl's boyfriend and was almost beaten up, she has become much more cautious and is well aware of the malice that women can have towards other women.
Guo Kunnan felt particularly unhappy when he heard Meng Ziyun's words about best friends. "Best friends" she talks about all day long, why don't you live with your best friend?
Cui Yu shouted: "Your best friend is amazing!"
Dong Qingfeng drank tea calmly. If Tang Jing scored 5 points as the dividing line, Meng Ziyun scored 7.5 points, then Meng Ziyun’s best friend only scored 3.5 points, which was too ugly.
His politeness and gentlemanliness are only shown to pretty girls.
He had no emotion at all about the provocation of Meng Ziyun's best friend. There was nothing he could do. When you have many options to choose from, you will not care about any one of them.
"Then do you want to change it?" Dong Qingfeng said lightly.
Meng Ziyun smiled: "I have changed it."
Guo Kunnan was surprised: "So what is your relationship now?"
Several pairs of eyes looked over.
Meng Ziyun knew it was her turn to perform, and she smiled as if nothing had happened: "I have already changed my best friend. She always wants to interfere in my relationship. She doesn't deserve to be my best friend."
Dong Qingfeng put down his teacup and looked at her in surprise: "Woman, you are very interesting."
Cui Yu: "Awesome, you are worthy of being my sister Meng!"
Wang Longlong said sarcastically, "Sister Meng is quite like a big sister!"
Meng Ziyun took back her words with satisfaction. She thought that Zhou Jinglan should have become more self-aware now.
……
In the snow.
Zhang Chi drove an electric car and arrived at the main entrance of Yangguang Luyuan Community. He looked up at the grand gate of the community and couldn't help but recall the days when he worked as a security guard.
I have to say, it’s really cool to be a security guard in a high-end residential area. Not only can you get a salary, but you can also make extra money. It’s like a dream life.
Unfortunately, because of his impulsive behavior at the farm stay, he offended his boss and lost his job.
Regret?
Zhang Chi said he had no regrets.
But no one knows whether I regret it or not.
Zhang Chi took the takeaway from ZJ Express and strode towards the gate of the community. Inside the security office, a young security guard stared at Zhang Chi with a playful smile: "Delivery, brother?"
Zhang Chi paused and discovered that the young security guard in front of him was actually a waiter from a nearby restaurant some time ago. He had stopped the waiter when he was delivering takeaway.
"Our neighborhood has separate lanes for pedestrians and vehicles, so you're not allowed to enter. But..." The young security guard rubbed his fingers together, revealing an 'you know' expression.
Zhang Chi asked bluntly: "How much?"
Security guard: “Ten dollars.”
Zhang Chi stared at him in disbelief: "Are you crazy? How much do I earn from one order? Before, when you delivered it, I only charged 1 yuan."
"How much money you make from each order is none of my business." The security guard's face suddenly turned stern, and it was obvious that he was trying to embarrass him.
"Little brother, let me tell you, if you want to deliver this order, you have to pay the money honestly, otherwise, haha."
Zhang Chi stared at him and said in a low voice: "I'm telling you, if you want money, be prepared to risk your life."
The security guard said with disdain: "You dare to hit me, right? I'm telling you, you can't get in with 10 yuan now, you have to pay more!"
Zhang Chi was furious. He put down the takeaway, took two steps forward, and punched the security guard in the face: "Alpaca, Gannima!"
"I won't send you off! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
The security guard was caught off guard and was knocked down by two punches. The probability of him defeating Zhang Chi in a head-on fight was extremely small, let alone being attacked by surprise.
Zhang Chi was still not satisfied, so he kicked him twice, cursing as he kicked him: "Fuck you, you dare to mess with your grandfather!"
After beating up the security guard, Zhang Chi took the takeaway food and ran away on his electric scooter. He was about to go back to the store and tell the manager that he was not allowed to enter the neighborhood and could not deliver the food.
Five minutes later, a gentle female voice called and asked, "Didn't you say fifteen minutes? Excuse me, where are you?"
Zhang Chi was so angry when he heard the gentle but indifferent words that he sneered, "Bitch, you're urging me to hurry you up! I'm eating your takeaway myself!"
The gentle female voice was incredulous. After a few seconds, she said coldly: "I tell you, you will pay the price for your words and actions!"
Zhang Chi cursed: "Yangguang Luyuan Building 7, Unit 602, , right? If you keep talking nonsense, I will send your whole family to hell!"
After this warning, the person on the phone immediately became obedient.
"Speak! Speak!" Zhang Chi urged.
No one replied, and the call was hung up.
Zhang Chi called again, but the other party hung up.
Zhang Chi sent a text message: "If you dare not answer the phone, I will come to find you now, why don't you try?"
When he called again, the call was connected.
Zhang Chi: "You damn bitch, apologize to me! Apologize!"
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and then a gentle female voice was heard: "I'm sorry, I went too far just now. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Zhang Chi’s anger subsided a lot, and he said leniently: “I’m in a good mood now, I won’t bother with you!”
He hung up the phone and turned to look at the high-end residential area behind him. It was destined to be a place where ordinary people could never live. He sneered: "A bunch of weak things."
Now that he has beaten the security guard and scolded the customers, he is doomed to fail in the job that Yan Tianpeng introduced to him.
Life is free and I feel free like the world.
Zhang Chi rode his bike to find a warm and casual coffee shop and unpacked the takeaway food he was about to deliver.
It turned out to be a family bucket, which contained crispy chicken, Orleans grilled wings, Portuguese egg tarts, and cola...
"Damn it, the food is pretty good, now it's mine!"
Zhang Chi admired the falling snow outside through the restaurant's glass and ate a KFC family bucket, which he found delicious.
The cell phone rang, Zhang Chi picked it up and saw that it was his grandmother who was far away in the countryside calling.
What I heard was a hoarse voice with the village dialect: "Grandson, I heard that you made a lot of money during the New Year. I want to discuss something with you, is that okay?"
Zhang Chi's mind flashed with his grandmother's staggering figure. He replied, "Grandma, just say whatever you want."
Grandma continued: "Your grandpa grows some vegetables in the greenhouse and sells them at the market every day. It's more than ten miles from home to the market. He is old and his legs are not good. He can't ride a bicycle well. He wants to buy an electric tricycle..."
"Wait until your husband and I sell the vegetables and then return the money to you. Do you think it's okay?"
Zhang Chi thought of his grandmother, who was so old, but still went to the market to sell vegetables, a market where she was unfamiliar with the place, squatting on the roadside to sell vegetables. Zhang Chi finally softened his heart.
He had made a lot of money during the winter vacation. Zhang Chi said, "I'll transfer 2,000 yuan to Goudan from my village. I'll ask him to withdraw the money and give it to you. Don't pay it back. You two should take care of your health and don't get sick from the cold."
After saying that, Zhang Chi sighed, adding insult to injury.
Grandma hesitated for a while and said, "Grandson, we don't have enough money. Your grandpa wants to buy an electric tricycle with a shed, which costs seven or eight thousand!"
Zhang Chi was stunned: "Is it worth more than 2,000 yuan?"
Grandpa’s loud voice came from the cell phone speaker: “That won’t work! Grandpa Ren Goudan drives an electric tricycle that costs seven or eight thousand yuan!”
……
"Brother Ma, it's a pity that you didn't come. Dong Qingfeng is treating us today, and the barbecue in this restaurant is really good!"
Guo Kunnan posted a photo and expressed his regret for him.
Ma Shicheng: "I have something to do today, I can't help it. Don't tell me, it does look good."
Guo Kunnan was very proud: "That's because the photo was taken well! I took a photo of the barbecue just now and showed it to Zhou Jinglan. She even praised my vivo phone for its good photography, saying it was better than her iPhone 6."
"Haha, Brother Ma, do you think I am attracting her?"
Ma Shiben didn't want to spoil the fun, but Guo Kunnan was too damn awesome, it was really outrageous!
He poured cold water on you: "He has high emotional intelligence and is deliberately flattering you. Do you really believe it?"
Guo Kunnan was unhappy: "What do you mean, Brother Ma? My vivo does take good photos!"
Ma Shicheng: "Then ask her what mobile phone she will buy next?"
In order to prove that he was right, Guo Kunnan immediately said to Zhou Jinglan: "Jinglan, my phone takes good photos, right? Will you buy a vivo phone for your next purchase?"
Zhou Jinglan smiled slightly, revealing a bit of helplessness: "I'm used to using iPhone, and there's a lot of data on it."
Guo Kunnan was dumbfounded.
When he looked down, Ma Shicheng sent him a "clown" expression.
Guo Kunnan doubted his life. He had never thought about this level. He really thought that Zhou Jinglan envied his good camera function on his mobile phone.
When he thought of this, he looked at Dong Qingfeng who was dancing skillfully at the dinner table, and always felt that he was far inferior to him.
However, can Guo Kunnan become like Dong Qingfeng just by his own efforts?
No way. No matter how hard he tries, due to his innate limitations, he can only reach A Quan's level at best. What can that change?
Even if Dong Qingfeng is already very good, what can he do? If he were placed in Class 8, his overall quality would not even make it into the top three.
To be honest, Guo Kunnan was confused. He had seen many roads, but could not find the one that suited him.
……
Next door, Fugui BBQ.
Jiang Ning received another message from Shen Qing'e: "I'm in confinement. Um, a hen weighing two and a half kilograms is better. How many do you need?"
"Just one."
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you today." Shen Qing'e replied. Jiang Ning only needed a hen, so she had a lot to worry about. She had to choose a suitable hen and find a way to get it to him without revealing her identity.
It is foreseeable that she will need to use her brain for some time next.
Seeing that she acted quite realistically, Jiang Ning said happily, "Okay, I'll buy hens from you when I'm in confinement next time."
These simple words hurt Shen Qing'e, and her heart ached again.
What is she in Jiang Ning's heart?
After Jiang Ning dealt with Shen Qing'e, he moved his mind and turned his face to the window.
The light from the street lamps made the falling snowflakes appear crystal clear. The man in a suit and the woman in a wedding dress were bathing in the flying snow, constantly adjusting their postures with the flash lights.
"Wedding photos..." Xue Chuchu stared at the newlyweds downstairs, her eyes reflecting joy.
Xue Yuantong saw Chuchu being lazy, so she picked up the tongs and turned the beef roasting on the stove.
She whispered to Jiang Ning: "Chu Chu really likes to see the bride. Every time someone got married in the village, she could always grab a good seat."
Jiang Ning exclaimed in amazement: "The calf moves quite fast."
Xue Chuchu's eyes froze when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "When will Jiang Ning be more mature?"
She pursed her lips and emphasized: "I went there early."
Jiang Ning: “No conflict, no conflict.”
He looked at Tongtong: "Don't you like to watch it?"
Tongtong enjoyed the barbecue and didn't care: "That's it."
She felt very embarrassed. With so many people watching around her, the mere thought of it made Tongtong feel uncomfortable all over and she wanted to hide behind Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thought for a while. From Xue Chuchu's reaction, he could tell that she was somewhat yearning for it.
Although Jiang Ning thinks that the so-called once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony is laced with consumerism, just as Ma Shicheng said that day, the college entrance examination is only once in a lifetime, why don’t you work hard to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University?
But, in the final analysis, it depends on the person. If Xue Chuchu asks for a grand wedding, he will definitely do his best to make it happen, but if it is with a girl who is a little ugly, he will not care.
There is no right or wrong in the world, only whether it is suitable or not. This is true for weddings, dowries, and life.
Jiang Ning couldn't quite figure out Tongtong's thoughts, so he asked, "What did you think when you saw other people getting married?"
Xue Yuantong asked as a matter of course: "When will the food be served?"
Jiang Ning: …
Xue Chuchu smiled and tried to make Jiang Ning laugh in vain.
