Chapter 7
When they arrived in M City, it was close to noon. The two checked in at the hotel they had booked, and then filled their stomachs at the hotel's own restaurant. Qi Chen took Pei Ruoyan to the nearest shopping mall by taxi.
Seeing him walking straight to the men's clothing section, Pei Ruoyan couldn't help asking, "Why do you want to buy clothes all of a sudden?"
"Didn't it be agreed?" Qi Chen turned to look at him, "I'll listen to you from now on, huh?"
Pei Ruoyan: "..."
Due to his personality, Qi Chen seldom forced others to make decisions. Even when he was on the train tickets before, he was mostly negotiating. Such an aggressive tone almost never appeared in his mouth.
Especially the last one with a rising ending. When Pei Ruoyan came back to his senses, he had unconsciously repeated this sentence several times in his heart, feeling that he was simply baffled.
Qi Chen didn't notice Pei Ruoyan's imagining, after he finished asking, seeing no objection, he looked back and began to pick out clothes.
If they want to go to the bar, the two of them underage must not just go in so casually, at least find a way to blur their age so that they cannot be clearly identified.He is already up to the standard, he just needs to adjust his clothes a little bit.
As for the temperament...
Qi Chen glanced back, and felt that Pei Ruoyan was quite capable of bluffing people when he had a cold face.
It was already afternoon after all the tossing, the two of them went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and went downstairs at six o'clock, and took a taxi to City B.In the middle, Pei Ruoyan wanted to ask Qi Chen countless times what he was going to do, but thinking of what he promised earlier, he finally swallowed it back.
He persisted all the way, and finally succeeded after Qi Chen led him into the bar.
"Wait a minute." Pei Ruo extended his hand and pulled him aside, asking in a low voice, "What are we doing here?"
"Brush your face." Qi Chen knew that this person would probably not agree to go in with him if he didn't explain clearly, so he said, "I've checked, and this is the fixed meeting place for the second generation in City B. Since your brother can live in that kind of place, It must be in the circle."
Pei Ruoyan: "So?"
"So people who often come here to play have probably seen him before, and when they see you, they will definitely be curious and come over to talk to you or something." Qi Chen said: "We just need to find a place with better light and sit back and wait. "
Pei Ruoyan was skeptical, "Then what if we don't meet?"
Qi Chen: "Then there's nothing you can do. You think you're unlucky."
Having said that, Qi Chen felt that there was a high chance of encountering him.He had carefully recalled the plot of the original work before he came up with such a guess.
After all, the male lead is a playful second generation, even the owner of the bar certainly doesn't have the time to sit in the lobby and watch every customer who comes in.It must be that the people below saw Pei Ruoyan's face when Zha Gong brought Pei Ruoyan in, became suspicious, went up to inform him, and only then did the following plot begin.
That is to say, Xie Lian may have been to this bar before, and he is guaranteed to be familiar with it.
Seeing that Pei Ruoyan frowned, as if he was still thinking about what he said, Qi Chen waited patiently for a while.But he waited and waited but no one moved, and finally couldn't help but say, "I said, can you let go of my hand first?"
Pei Ruoyan came back to his senses, only to realize that he had pulled Qi Chen's wrist in a moment of impatience, and withdrew his hand like an electric shock.
It was less than eight o'clock, and there were not many people in the bar.Qi Chen led the people to sit down at the bar, and communicated with the foreign bartender in English, proficiently like a veteran who has been immersed in this for a long time.
Pei Ruoyan watched him skillfully chatting with the bartender, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Have you been to the bar before?"
"How is it possible, how old am I?" Qi Chen took the cocktail handed by the bartender, put another lower alcohol glass in front of him, and said in a low voice, "This is really my first time here."
Pei Ruoyan looked at him suspiciously, "Then why do you know him so well?"
Qi Chen half-truthfully said: "I said I dreamed, do you believe me?"
Pei Ruoyan: "..."
"Otherwise." Qi Chen said, "Just treat me as a genius."
As the light source swept away, the bar counter became dark.Qi Chen quickly explained the next plan to him, "That's how we are, you pretended to be dragged here by me, worried that I'm drunk, it's okay if I can't perform, just watch with a cold face, that's right That's the expression, hold on tight."
"If someone talks to you, you just answer it, and if you find that it's not the target, just ignore him, it's that simple." Qi Chen asked, "Do you understand?"
Pei Ruoyan: "...Understood."
"This is for you." Qi Chen took out a metal disc from his pocket and handed it to him, "Put it in your pocket, press it if something happens, and you can call the police with one click."
Pei Ruoyan: "... When did you prepare all this?"
Qi Chen: "I bought this before I came here. At that time, I was just thinking about it in case of emergency. I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. But this is also the worst situation. After all, if you press here, my parents We all need to know what we did."
Seeing that Pei Ruoyan's expression was stiff, he changed his tone and said comfortingly, "But it's not a big deal. If the situation is really bad, you still have to press it. Safety comes first."
Pei Ruoyan had mixed feelings in his heart, because of his family, even in a foreign country where family education was relatively free, his mother still kept close watch over him, and he almost grew up within her sight.
Therefore, after returning to China, Pei Ruoyan always wanted to be more independent.The fact that he came to look for Xie Lian in City B was already an action he thought he had planned and prepared well, that's why he was so angry when Qi Chen confiscated his bus ticket.
When Qi Chen offered to help, he also looked on from the sidelines out of self-importance to see how capable this man could be with such a strong voice, but it wasn't until the end of the day that he realized how naive his previous thoughts were.
Pei Ruoyan lowered his gaze, and slowly tightened his palms, the metal disc seemed to be stained with Qi Chen's temperature, and the touch was particularly vivid.
Time passed slowly, Pei Ruoyan dealt with several men who came to strike up a conversation according to Qi Chen's instructions, and gradually became a little impatient.From the corner of his eye, he saw that Qi Chen's glass was more than half empty, and he was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you drinking?"
"Yeah." Qi Chen replied lazily, "Don't drink."
"Why?" Pei Ruoyan's rebellious emotions began to flare up again, "Then why can you drink?"
"You're stupid." Qi Chen said: "It's too fake to come to a bar without drinking. Didn't I tell you the script, you were forced to come here by me, and you stayed with me because you were worried that I would get drunk."
Because of the loud music in the bar, the two of them could only stick very close to each other if they wanted to talk. Qi Chen's voice soaked in alcohol was a little too lazy, and when he brushed his eardrums, he felt a little itchy.
Pei Ruoyan's throat tightened, and he was inexplicably restless, "Then what should you do if you're drunk?"
Qi Chen said: "I took anti-alcohol medicine when I came here."
Pei Ruoyan: "...What if it doesn't work?"
"You assume it's too much." Qi Chen glanced at him speechlessly, raised his head and drank the remaining liquid in the glass, tapped his knuckles on the table to signal the bartender to refill himself, and said casually: "Isn't there still you in there?" .”
In the air-conditioned space, Pei Ruoyan felt his heart beating uncontrollably, and the back of his ears was even hotter.Fortunately, the light in the bar was dim, and no one saw it.
Even with the anti-alcoholic medicine as a base, after a few glasses of high-alcohol cocktails, Qi Chen was also a little drunk.When he was drunk, he didn't go crazy with alcohol, but his thinking speed slowed down, and his patience became lower.
Without Pei Ruoyan's objection, Qi Chen was already impatient.After listening to the deafening noise for more than an hour, he only felt that his head was hurting.
Just when Qi Chen began to seriously think about what went wrong with his plan, a bartender came over with a tray and put two glasses of brightly colored cocktails in front of the two of them one by one.Facing Pei Ruoyan's direction, he said: "Two gentlemen, please drink slowly, this cup is for our boss."
Before Pei Ruoyan could speak, Qi Chen suddenly raised his head, "Where is your boss?"

As a well-known dude among the second generation in City B, Tang Ying has a wise saying that goes out of the circle. "I came up with the name Liying, and gave birth to a family of Liying. Wouldn't I be sorry for my parents if I didn't lie in it again?"
When the word got out, Mr. Tang was so angry that he chased him with a cane for three days and three nights, threatening to clean up the house.In the end, Brother Tang came forward to mediate, allocated a small part of the family property to his name, and signed a gambling agreement.
Originally, it was just a pretense to find him something to do, but he didn't expect that after a year or two, those industries would be tossed around by Tang Ying.
Outsiders think that Big Brother Tang is the best, but even Big Brother Tang is curious about who is behind his stupid younger brother.He also asked insincerely, but the younger brother who had always been off-line was the only one who kept this matter a secret.
"Brother, don't ask, how many times have I told you that he really won't come."
In the lounge, most of Tang Ying's body was paralyzed on the sofa, as if he had no bones.What was said on the other side of the phone, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, and repeated again: "Yes, no amount of money will come, he is not short of money, he alone has more money than our family combined."
There was some movement at the door, Tang Ying raised his head, saw the person parked by the door, quickly sat up straight, and speeded up his speech: "Stop talking, I have something to do here, see you next time, remember Say hello to mom for me, brother, bye."
After all, no matter how Brother Tang replied, Tang Ying hung up quickly, got up and walked towards the person, "Why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come, so I can go out to pick you up."
"It just so happens that I'm free today, so I didn't delay your business."
The visitor is not very old, with a dignified and elegant temperament, and a youthful spirit that has not yet been exhausted.When entering the door, he nodded politely to the waiter who helped to open the door, and said thank you in a low voice.
The waiter who brought him in was a young girl, her cheeks were already half red, and she murmured "no need" like a mosquito.
Tang Ying was no stranger to this, and he felt sorry for his 1.8-meter-high handsome guy, who was not as attractive as this underage boy in front of these little girls.
"What can I do?" Signaling people to close the door, Tang Ying led the people to sit down on the sofa and asked impatiently, "Are you really going abroad?"
"It's all passed to you, what do you think?" The boy opened the notebook he brought with him, and said while typing on the keyboard: "My second uncle and the others didn't want to send me out on the first day, it will happen sooner or later."
Tang Kai's expression became a little weird, "I thought..."
The boy raised his head slightly and looked at him with a smile, "Huh? Why?"
The young man's gaze was very gentle and not aggressive, but Tang Ying somehow felt the pressure on his body suddenly increased, and his tone became a little more uncertain, "I thought you would resist?"
"How can I resist." The young man sighed, with a bit of confusion on his face, "After all, everyone knows that Xie Liankong has the name of Xie Liankong's grandson, but in reality he is just a poor little boy."
Tang Kai: "..."
"Okay, don't talk about my business." Xie Lian changed his face in a second, pushed the notebook in his hand in front of Tang Ying, and motioned him to look at the screen, "This is the plan I will give you for the next two years. You may not be able to contact me after you go abroad, so just follow this if you have anything to do.”
"What does it mean that you can't get in touch?" Tang Ying was a little nervous, and his brain was wide open, "Your second uncle and the others won't attack you, right?"
"That's not the case." Xie Lian smiled, "It's just that it's not so convenient to contact friends in China, and it's best not to let others know about our relationship."
Only then did Tang Kai feel relieved, and lowered his head to look at the screen.
Xie Lian got up and poured himself a glass of water, and said nothing.He has his own set of rules for getting along with friends. For example, Shen Lingchuan can know that he is deliberately obeying his second uncle's arrangement to go abroad, but Tang Ying can't.
Next, the two discussed the document for a while, and it was almost eight o'clock when it was completely over.
Tang Kai said, "Have a meal together?"
Xie Lian was about to refuse, when the internal calling system on the desk rang suddenly, Tang Ying pressed to answer, "What's the matter?"
"Boss." The manager's face was a bit strange, seeing Xie Lian opposite him, he hesitated and said, "Come out and have a look."
"Why do you call me for everything?" Tang Ying muttered, put down his things, got up and went out.
Xie Lian didn't say the words of refusal in time, so he had to stop and wait for him.
A few minutes later, Tang Ying came back, but his face was even weirder than that of the previous manager, staring at his face and hesitating to speak.
Xie Lian noticed that his eyes were raised, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, half a smile, "Is there something on my face?"
"...No." Tang Ying struggled for a while and handed him the phone, then turned on the screen, "You can see for yourself."
On the screen is a photo, judging from the color, it should be taken from the monitor.
Xie Lian pressed a corner of the screen, moved his fingers to slowly enlarge the image, paused for a moment, and laughed softly, "Interesting."
