In a small restaurant on the food street.
The restaurant's decoration was ordinary, but business was booming.
"Boss, it's been twenty minutes. Why hasn't our order been served yet?”
......
"Xie Chang, where's our cutlery? Do you want us to grab it with our hands?"
......
"The boss is paying. Then we have to go!"
......
After a while.
Xie Chang was dressed in black sportswear, with a white apron around his waist. He had short, clean black hair, bronze-colored skin that looked very healthy, and his simple and honest face was a little handsome. There were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Xie Chang wiped his sweat with a tissue and walked to the door of the shop. He took out a pack of 30 yuan Yellow Crane Tower lottery tickets and lit one. He took a few puffs of the cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. He sighed,"Sigh, money is hard to earn."
Xie Chang smoked and sighed at the ups and downs of life.
A middle-aged lady was holding a broom in her hand and sweeping the garbage left behind by the guests after their meals. When she heard Xie Chang sigh about the various states of life in an old-fashioned manner, a wave of anger ignited in her heart.
She was Aunt Zhao, Xie Chang's mother.
Aunt Zhao grabbed a rag and threw it at Xie Chang." You brat! Why didn't you complain that you were tired when you asked me for money? You're exhausted from working at home for a few minutes. How are you going to find a job in the future? Sooner or later, you'll starve to death outside!"
Xie Chang caught the rag, scratched his head and laughed,""Hehe, Mom, calm down. I was just imitating the plot in the movie.”
"You only know how to watch movies and play games. If you had this kind of energy when you were in school, you would have long gone to work in a big company.”Auntie Zhao glared at Xie Chang in disappointment." You only know how to spend your father's and my money. What if we lose you?!"”
"You two will live to be two hundred... 500 years old!" Xie Chang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said with a smile,"You and my father can wait for two years. When I earn a lot of money, I'll let the two of you go out and have fun. You can have fun in the country and abroad. Then, you can find a good place to settle down.”
Xie Chang clapped his hands." Perfect."
"Earning big money? I'll be thankful if you go out and find a job first.”Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes at Xie Chang. Although she said so, she was still very happy in her heart. It was enough for her son to have this kind intention.
"Look at Li Xiao. He lived frugally in school and went straight to work in a formal company after graduation. He's an elite. Look at you, who got two stars in a day, went to this internet cafe for a night, and then went to that bar for a night.”Aunt Zhao sat down on the chair, took a sip of water, and continued to lecture Xie Chang.
"Although Brother Li works in a formal company and is indeed an elite, to put it bluntly…It's meaningless. Our monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. It's not even as much as our small restaurant. We can at least earn twenty to thirty thousand yuan a month.”Xie Chang put out his cigarette.
"That's true, but Li Xiao does have many advantages. Learn from him.”Aunt Zhao heard that it was true. Although working in the company seemed very formal, she did not earn much money every month. The pancake vendor next door could earn 8,000 yuan a month.
"After all, he's my Brother Li.”Xie Chang said proudly.
"The only good thing about you is that you have a sweet mouth.”Aunt Zhao glared at Xie Chang and then looked at the round watch hanging on the wall. She asked curiously,"Why isn't Li Xiao here yet? She had specially reserved a seat for him. She had missed him after not seeing him for a long time.”
"It should be soon." Just as Xie Chang finished speaking.
"Xiao Chang, long time no see." A faint voice sounded.
Xie Chang turned around and saw.
Li Xiao was dressed in a neat black suit. His naturally curly black hair was slightly messy, and his face was still as handsome as ever.
He looked like an elite.
Xie Chang was slightly startled. Was this person Brother Li? Why did it feel like his temperament had changed?
Compared to before, Brother Li was more like an elite now.
Why did it feel like Brother Li had become a completely different person?
Xie Chang moved a few steps to the side to make way for him. He smiled and asked,"I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?”
"I've been busy recently." After Li Xiao replied, he looked at the full shop and then looked at Auntie Zhao." Auntie Zhao, are there any seats left?”
"There's a seat…" Auntie Zhao hadn't finished speaking.
"Brother Li, can you not have a seat at my house for dinner? I chased away two guests who wanted to eat just now. The last seat is still reserved for you.”Xie Chang pointed to a clean seat inside.
Aunt Zhao glared at Xie Chang. This brat really knew how to interrupt people.
Auntie Zhao looked at Li Xiao with a simple smile." You guys order first. I'll go to the kitchen first."”
"Okay, Aunt Zhao." Li Xiao smiled.
Aunt Zhao turned around and walked into the kitchen.
After Xie Chang retracted his gaze, he saw a mysterious woman wearing a cap and lowering her head behind Li Xiao.
This woman had such a strong aura!
"Brother Li, this is…" Xie Chang asked curiously.”
"Your sister-in-law." Li Xiao held Jiang Sitong's fair little hand.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Xie Chang greeted him. No wonder Brother Li didn't follow the old rules. It seemed like he was eating with his girlfriend.
Li Xiao was the boss in the university dormitory, so everyone in the dormitory called him Brother Li.
Jiang Sitong tried to struggle a few times, trying to retract her hand, but she could not break free from Li Xiao's grip.
Jiang Sitong gave up struggling in the end as she glared at Li Xiao shyly and said softly,""Who's your girlfriend?"
Li Xiao smiled and didn't reply.
"Hurry up and sit down. You saw the content of the chat, right? I have so many things to ask you." Xie Chang said.
Li Xiao pulled Jiang Sitong along as they walked towards the empty seats.
"I'll get the cutlery. You guys order first.”With that, Xie Chang walked towards the disinfection cabinet.
Jiang Sitong sat on a chair as she surveyed the shop with her beautiful eyes." The shop is very clean. That's one of the reasons why there are so many people.”
"What do you want to eat?" Li Xiao browsed the menu.
Jiang Sitong adjusted her cap and said coldly," Just order whatever you like.”
"Alright." Li Xiao casually ordered a few dishes.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with Zhang Xu?”
Xie Chang put down the cutlery and asked curiously," Are you guys having a conflict? "He's crazily praising you in the group. Luckily, we didn't believe him. If we believed him, you might have been in a difficult position at the class reunion. It would have been so awkward.”
"We used to be roommates. Is it fun to do this to you?”Xie Chang's tone was somewhat angry.
Flattering a person crazily was a drawback, but if he didn't brag as much, it would probably be extremely awkward!
Li Xiao crossed his fingers and said with a faint smile,""What did you say?"
"Didn't you see the group? That brat said that you bought a Ferrari worth 40 million yuan. Even a boss worth more than 100 million yuan has to be respectful when he sees you.”Xie Chang said helplessly.
Was there any meaning in Zhang Xu praising Brother Li like this?
Although Brother Li was an elite, he was just an ordinary office worker with a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan. How could he afford a Ferrari that cost 40 million yuan?
Even being respected by a boss with a net worth of more than 100 million?
Xie Chang took out a pack of cigarettes and found that there was not a single cigarette in the box.
"I'll go get a pack of cigarettes first. I want to smoke when we talk about serious matters.”Xie Chang was about to turn around and leave.
Li Xiao took out a pack of Nine Five Supreme and threw it to Xie Chang." Take mine."”
"Nine-five? Not bad, you even drew 95." Xie Chang opened the Nine Five Zun, took out a cigarette and lit it up. He took a sip happily and teased,"Brother Li, did you get a promotion and a raise?”
Brother Li's monthly salary was a few thousand yuan. Just living in Jinghai City, a big city that ate people, he had already become a moonlight clan. He had no spare money to buy cigarettes that cost more than a hundred yuan.
Could it be that after he got a girlfriend, he specially bought a pack of the Nine and Five Supreme just to show off in front of his girlfriend?
"I guess so." Li Xiao lit a cigarette and smiled.""Continue."
"Then, he said that you're the CEO of Star Moon Media. He even said that the richest woman in Jinghai City, Jiang Sitong, is your girlfriend.”Xie Chang paused for a moment as he suddenly realized something. He shot a glance at Jiang Sitong and hurriedly said,"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. What I meant was that Jiang Sitong isn't as pretty as you.”
Even though he didn't see his sister-in-law's face, all he had to do was say that she looked good.

Zhang Pei was changed to Xie Chang. The names Zhang Pei and Zhang Xu were too similar.
