Chapter 39: A Good Show to Watch (Second Update)

  "Hehe, today is a good friend's birthday, I met him after work, several people are celebrating here, how about you? Aren't you in Ning City?" Along with Xu Yu's words, Zhang Yan also had a joyful expression, taking small steps forward, happily sizing up Xu Yu from head to toe. Since graduating, the two hadn't been in touch much, and this time, Xu Yu hadn't contacted her at all, so running into each other now was quite unexpected.

  "My job has been transferred to Linzhou." Xǔ Yú also took a slight step forward and said, "Originally, I was going to wait until things settled down before visiting you. How have you been lately?"

  "Ah! You've come to Linzhou? The Bureau of Foreign Trade?" As soon as she heard this, Zhang Yan's already flushed and delighted face turned even more surprised. Just as she was about to continue speaking, a petite and lovely woman suddenly emerged from the private room behind her, grabbed Zhang Yan and said, "I say, Zhang Yan, how could you run away? Quick... Eh? Who is this?"

  That woman was smiling and trying to pull Zhang Yan back into the room, but as soon as she saw Xu Yu, her eyes lit up, and then she laughed and patted Zhang Yan's slender waist, "Ah, I said our Li boss has been chasing you for so long, you didn't even bat an eye, it turns out you were hiding such a handsome little face? Today is even my birthday, and you want to sneak away to meet your lover?"

  "Get out!" The woman's words were clearly laced with a strong smell of alcohol, and her eyes seemed a bit blurry. However, that one sentence instantly made Xu Yu and Zhang Yan's faces slightly red, and Zhang Yan even gave the other person a fierce glare before smiling again. "Let me introduce you, this is my university friend Xu Yu. Xu Yu, this is my colleague He Ling, today is her birthday."

  "Hehe, happy birthday!" Xǔ Yú's face was slightly awkward, but he still smiled and congratulated He Ling.

  "Hey handsome, since you're here, come in and have a few drinks? Hehe, you'd better be careful, our Zhang Dabao is in the company, that's someone with many pursuers. In this private room, there's just one rival for you......" He Ling suddenly stumbled, staggered, and directly grabbed Xu Yu's arm, pulling him into the private room, and laughed drunkenly at Xu Yu.

  "He's drunk, don't take it seriously." Before He Ling could finish speaking, Zhang Yan glared at her again, then smiled and said to Xu Yu.

  "Hehe." Xǔ Yú smiled again, but turned around and asked Zhāng Yàn, "Is it suitable for me to go in?"

  To be honest, it's not easy to run into each other here, and he really didn't want to just say hello and then part ways again.

  "It's okay, just go in. Zhang Yan also sparkled with her eyes and smiled, "Except for He Ling, there is another colleague Tang Wanlin, the others I don't know very well either."

  As they spoke, with He Ling's gentle pull added to the front, the three of them also arrived at the door of the private room. In an instant, everything inside the room was reflected in Xu Yu's eyes. Beside a large rotating dining table sat three men and one woman.

  The others were all smiling and looking towards the door, but as soon as they saw He Ling, who was slightly drunk, walking over with Xu Yu, one of the three men's faces suddenly changed.

  "He Ling, who is he?" Along with the words, a sturdy man with a robust build immediately stood up, his face full of puzzlement.

  "Haha, Mo Biao, don't drink too much vinegar. This is my university classmate Xu Yu, and He Ling just met him, but she's already pulling him in to drink." Seeing the other person's appearance, Zhang Yan suddenly smiled, then explained to Xu Yu, "He's He Ling's boyfriend, Mo Biao."

  It was also in the explanation that Na Mubiao suddenly blushed, and then awkwardly said to Xu Yu, "Hehe, hello, come, sit down."

  It's not that he can't be blamed, mainly because Xu Yu is handsome and elegant, with a good figure, wearing clothes that are not expensive but quite decent, which makes him feel a lot of pressure. However, when he heard that the other person was Zhang Yan's classmate, his whole body relaxed completely, and he turned to look at another young man beside him in an unusual way.

  "Haha, hello, I'm Li Heshong."

  "Xu Yu, come in and sit down, we are also Zhang Yan's friends, I am Zhou Xingbei."

  ……

  At the same time, the young man who was being stared at by Mo Biao also immediately stood up, smiling and introducing himself to Xu Yu. However, there was a hint of surprise in the young man's eyes. As he introduced himself, the other two people, a man and a woman, also smiled and got up.

  After the introduction, with Zhang Yan's further explanation, Xu Yu also nodded with a smile. Then, he called over the waiter, added a chair, and everyone sat down again. Xu Yu's seat was between Zhang Yan and Mo Xiao.

  Just then, He Ling smiled again and said, "Handsome guy, the wine that Zhang Yan had earlier was all blocked by me. Now that you're here, this glorious position is yours, you can't refuse."

  As they laughed, Tang Wanlin on the other side directly grabbed three half-finger-high transparent glass cups and poured wine for Xu Yu. She even filled up three full cups of Wuliangye and said, "We ladies drink red wine, you guys can't, it's all this."

  "Heh heh, good!" Xǔ Yú's voice was slightly hoarse, but she didn't decline at all. She picked up her wine cup and downed it in one gulp, directly causing the others to cheer softly.

  Only Zhang Yan's face showed a hint of surprise after seeing this scene, and then she anxiously asked Xu Yu, "Why are you drinking so hastily? Is everything okay?"

  "It's nothing. The other day, I actually drank quite often." Xǔ Yú smiled and waved his hand, but in his heart, a warm current also surged up.

  As the two of them appeared this way, falling into other people's eyes, the two women present couldn't help but giggle and cast flirtatious glances at them. However, Li Hesong, who was sitting across from Xu Yu, had a slightly stiff expression.

  Looking at Xu Yu's expression, it was even more unpredictable.

  It turns out that Li Heshong is also depressed. Since Zhang Yan joined the company, he had almost made up his mind to win her over at first sight, but who knew it's been two months and she has always been indifferent to him. Even if it weren't for today's opportunity of He Ling's birthday, he wouldn't have found a chance to have dinner with her. Originally, he thought that today's opportunity would allow him to get closer to her, but unexpectedly, Xu Yu appeared out of nowhere?

  Moreover, judging from their words and deeds, both of them are quite suspicious, and they were even university classmates...

  But, after a moment of gloominess, Li Hesong suddenly laughed again. University classmates? Even if they were university lovers, once they entered society, it wasn't particularly solid either. The woman he liked was really hard to get rid of. With a light smile, Li Hesong said, "Xu Yu, you and Zhang Yan are both graduates of Lin Da, I wonder where you are now?"

  The two men, Zhou Xingbei and Mo Biao, also looked at Xu Yu with a hint of curiosity. As colleagues of Zhang Yan, they naturally knew that Li had long had feelings for her, and it was easy to suppress someone's dignity given his position.

  At least in their eyes, Xu Yu's outfit, although decent, was far from luxurious, probably just some ordinary small staff member, this time, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch.
