Chapter 232 Staff Dinner (2)

Lu Ran didn't specifically count how many people there were, but by visual inspection there were no less than thirty.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when the 'big troop' walked out of Taste the World.

Those who have a car drive, and they can pick up a few people on the way, and those who don't have a car can take a taxi together.

Ever since the little red MINI was burned into a pile of scrap iron, Lu Ran has no plans to buy a car until now, and of course the economy does not allow her to spend like this again.

She had always had a good relationship with Liang Man, and she was fortunate to be invited to ride in Liang Man's car with two colleagues from the same department.

It was rush hour, and the car was stuck on the road for half an hour without moving.

Lu Ran took the opportunity to call Ji Zebei, and learned that Ji Zebei and Ye Zhian had negotiated with Mr. Li on the final price of the store today, and they will formally sign the contract tomorrow.

After the store is officially opened, the next step is to decorate the restaurant. Ji Zebei will be very busy for a while.

After hearing Ji Zebei finish speaking, she told about the dinner with her colleagues tonight.

"When will it end?" Ji Zebei asked.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be too late."

"End the call, I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

"I want to hear your opinion on the decoration of the store."

Lu Ran was flattered, "My opinion?"

"Correct."

Lu Ran thought for a while and said, "I prefer the warm and petty bourgeoisie style, but the tall and luxurious decoration style you mentioned before should be more suitable for western restaurants."

"We'll talk about it after we meet. You should have dinner with your colleagues first."

"Ah."

She didn't hang up the phone, and neither did Ji Zebei.

The call continued for a few more minutes, and Ji Zebei said, "You hang up first."

She smiled softly, "You hang up."

"Hey, hang up."

"Then I hang up."

"Remember to call after the dinner, no matter how late it is."

"it is good."

Liang Man waited for Lu Ran to hang up the phone, seeing that the corners of her mouth were almost grinning to her ears, and asked with a smile, "Ji Zebei?"

She nodded.

"It's very sweet."

Lu Ran froze, "Average, the third in the world."

Liang Man smiled and reminded her, "Don't forget to mention what I told you when you see him."

"I won't forget, but don't hold out too much hope."

Ji Zebei is about to open a western restaurant, and she thinks he doesn't have time to go on food shows all over the world, so he probably doesn't have much interest in food shows.

When it was almost eight o'clock, the traffic finally became less congested.

It was about 08:30 when the group arrived at Shen Qiu's barbecue restaurant.

Everyone was hungry, five or six people sat around a table, and there were six tables.

Lu Ran sat with Liang Man, beside Shen Qiu and Su Ge, and several other colleagues. In order to be next to Shen Qiu, Xiao Zhang deliberately changed places with Su Ge.

Su Ge was reluctant, but Xiao Zhang was an old man, and had worked in the company longer than Lu Ran, so Su Ge dared not give face to this.

The barbecues that were ordered came to the table one after another, and Shen Qiu also took out all the good wines he had collected, and put two bottles on each table.

At first everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Lu Ran drank a little red wine. She knew that her capacity for alcohol and wine quality were not good, so she didn't dare to drink too much.

Two bottles of red wine are divided into one point per table, and each person can't drink much.

Later, Shen Qiu brought out a few more bottles of wine, and Xiao Zhang drank almost one bottle by himself.

Seeing Xiao Zhang blushing, obviously drunk, and being a little careless towards Shen Qiu, Su Ge turned dark and deliberately found a topic to chat with Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang ignored him, and stared at Shen Qiu with a pair of narrowed eyes.

Shen Qiu was also a little drunk, and furious at Xiao Zhang's impolite behavior.

She shook off Xiao Zhang's hand in public and scolded, "Why don't you respect people?"

Xiao Zhang accompanied him with a smiling face, "Sorry, I drank a little too much, I didn't mean to."

"Please pay attention to your behavior and don't go too far."

Xiao Zhang responded with his mouth, but his hands were dishonest. He reached under the table, squeezed Shen Qiu's leg fiercely, and even touched Shen Qiu's waist.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Lu Ran thought that Xiao Zhang was really daring, and he dared to touch him in front of so many people.

In order to help Shen Qiu out, she got up, pulled Shen Qiu and said: "I want to go to the bathroom, I'm a little dizzy, can you help me?"

Shen Qiu couldn't wait to get out of his seat quickly, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

She followed Lu Ran into the bathroom, and said cursingly, "Why is that Zhang guy so shameless? You won't know your last name after drinking a little wine."

Lu Ran looked helpless, "If you want to change positions, I can change positions with you."

She could tell that Xiao Zhang had followed Shen Qiu since he joined the job.

Shen Qiu's dress is too coquettish, ordinary men really can't resist her charm.

During the meal, many male colleagues came to toast Shen Qiu, and joked and chatted, leaving Liang Man, the editor-in-chief, in the cold.

Shen Qiu looks good, coupled with fashionable dress, stunning makeup, and exquisite and proud figure, he instantly became the favorite of the group with taste, even the male compatriots in the recording team coveted Shen Qiu.

"Forget it, change places with me, you will be the unlucky one." Shen Qiu said.

Lu Ran fell silent, she washed her hands after going to the bathroom, and walked out with Shen Qiu.

"You can switch positions with Chief Editor Liang." She suggested in a low voice.

No matter how daring Xiao Zhang was, he would not dare to disrespect Liang Man, after all Liang Man was his immediate boss.

Shen Qiu smiled, thinking her proposal was very good, the two returned to their seats, Shen Qiu offered to change places with Liang Man, Liang Man looked confused, but did not refuse.

However, as soon as Liang Man and Shen Qiu finished changing positions, Xiao Zhang looked at Lu Ran with a smile, and discussed with her kindly: "Writer Lu, let's change?"

Lu Ran pretended to be stupid: "What?"

"Change positions."

"why?"

"I want to be next to Xiao Shen, I have something to say to her."

Lu Ran suddenly felt a headache, this little Zhang really didn't give up until he reached his goal...

Su Ge, who had been hanging his face all the time, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the wine glass, pulled Xiao Zhang's arm, and said with a half-smile, "Brother Zhang, I would like to toast you."

Lu Ran felt that Su Ge wanted to put Xiao Zhang on the ground, so that Shen Qiu would be safe.

But Xiao Zhang glanced at him, and said drunkenly, "Didn't you just drink?"

"Brother Zhang is huge, let's have another drink."

But Xiao Zhang didn't give him face, waved his hand and said: "I won't drink with you, I will drink with Xiao Shen."

After finishing the words, he picked up his cup and stood up, walking towards Shen Qiu unsteadily.

Shen Qiu's face was extremely ugly, she watched Xiao Zhang's fat pig walking towards her, she gritted her teeth and said, "I won't drink with you."

"Come on, Xiao Shen, save face."

"You drank too much, you can't drink any more."

"I'm not drunk. I'm sober. Look, I can walk in a straight line."

Holding the wine glass, Xiao Zhang tried to walk in a straight line beside Shen Qiu to show her, but when his body was shaking, the wine in the glass spilled out, just splashing on the neckline of Shen Qiu's sweater.
