Chapter 371 Some Things Are Hard to Say

"Brother Yuan, you are finally off work. I have been waiting for you downstairs for a long time. I have reserved the old seat. Let's have a drink tonight."

Seeing Qi Yuan appear, Zhai Gong didn't care so much. As if he didn't see his cold expression, he smiled and approached him, pulling his arm to pull him to his car.

Qi Yuan had a headache, "Didn't I tell you that I am very busy tonight? I don't have time to have dinner with you. If you really want to find someone to have dinner with you, you can find someone else."

"Brother Yuan, we have been friends for so many years, and I also know that you have nothing to do tonight. It shouldn't be that difficult to have dinner with me?"

Zhai Gong raised his hands, "Besides, I promise you that I just want to have dinner with you tonight. There is no other meaning. Let's not talk about work. Is such a simple request not possible for our eight years of friendship?"

Qi Yuan was helpless.

He had no choice in the end, "Okay, then I'll go to dinner with you today, but let's make some things clear in advance. Today we'll only talk about work and nothing else."

"Okay, okay."

Zhai Gong watched Qi Yuan get into his car and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought people to a hot pot restaurant that the two of them often went to, ordered the soup base and mutton rolls they often ate, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "I've been very busy at work recently. I haven't had a good meal for a long time. I haven't been to this hot pot restaurant for a long time. I really miss it."

Qi Yuan looked at the table full of dishes and felt like he couldn't eat.

He put a plate of mutton rolls in the pot, and watching the mutton rolls rolling in the pot, he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, "Zhai Gong, after I finish this meal with you today, don't look for me anymore except for work matters." Zhai Gong paused with his hand picking up the food, and looked at him in confusion, "Brother Yuan, we have known each other for eight or nine years, and our relationship has always been good during these eight or nine years. Moreover, I can clearly distinguish between official and private matters. Even though we have a good relationship, I have never made it difficult for you to do anything at work. I I don't understand why you must draw a line with me..."

"Some things are hard to say."

Qi Yuan sighed, "Anyway, I chose to do this for my own reasons. Don't blame me. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to do this either."

Zhai Gong looked at Qi Yuan quietly for a while across the hot pot, and found that the expression on his face was really embarrassing, so he didn't choose to continue to embarrass him, "Okay, if you really want to draw a line with me, then after eating this hot pot, we will go our separate ways. There is nothing to say about this matter."

Qi Yuan didn't say anything.

The two of them started eating hot pot in silence. The atmosphere in the air was a little awkward, and neither of them knew what to say to ease the awkwardness.

After eating halfway, both of them were sweating profusely. Zhai Gong simply called two beer bottles and opened a bottle of beer and placed it in front of each other.

Qi Yuan looked at the iced beer and said nothing, and poured the beer into his mouth.

Probably because of their bad mood, the two drank seven or eight bottles of beer in a short time.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but start to pour out his inner thoughts, "Zhai Gong, you've always been a good person, and I don't have any opinion about you, but you've offended someone recently, did you know that?"

"I offended someone?"

Zhai Gong smiled with his tongue wide open, "Brother Yuan, you know I've always been very honest, I do the work assigned to me in a down-to-earth manner, and I never dare to slack off when facing customers outside, and I don't dare to talk nonsense even when I'm drunk, so how can someone like me offend anyone?"

"I can't answer your question, but the facts are there. In front of you, why do you think I have to treat you like this? Do you think I am bored? "

Qi Yuan burped, stood up and went to pay the bill, "Actually, I feel a little sorry for you, but when you are in the underworld, there are some things that you can't help. Don't blame me as a brother for being ruthless. For the sake of our previous friendship, I will remind you that instead of asking me why I treat you like this, you might as well ask yourself who you have offended. "

Qi Yuan patted Zhai Gong's shoulder earnestly.

Zhai Gong stood there for three seconds, then immediately stood up and rushed to compete with him for the bill, "Brother Yuan, I said that if I asked you to come over for dinner today, it would be my treat, so don't fight with me..."

Qi Yuan didn't insist.

After Qi Yuan left, Zhai Gong sat in the hot pot restaurant and thought seriously about what he had done recently. He had been working normally recently and had no conflicts with any customers. Even if he had a disagreement with a customer because of a few words, he would solve the problem on the spot. The customer would not have so much resentment. Of course, the most important thing is that although his customers are rich, they don’t have that much power. And recently, except for going home to eat and sleep, he has been spending most of his time in the company. It is impossible for him to offend anyone except the people in the company... So his wife offended someone? His mind was suddenly opened, and he quickly paid the bill and returned home.

His wife was a little surprised to see him coming home so early, "Honey, why did you finish your socializing so early tonight? And you didn't seem to drink much today... The sun is rising from the west?"

Zhai Gong grabbed her wrist, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

"Honey, what are you talking about? I've been staying at home every day recently, how could I offend anyone?"

Zhai Gong's wife frowned, "Okay, don't ask these inexplicable questions. Your clothes smell like hot pot, it's really bad. Go take a shower and change clothes."

Zhai Gong didn't mean to let her go so easily, "Honey, the question I asked you just now is very important. You must tell me the truth. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Zhai Gong's wife realized that he looked very serious, so she shook her head, "Honey, but the problem is that I really haven't offended anyone recently... My son just had a birthday two days ago, and I have been busy with his birthday party. I haven't had time to go out with others to play mahjong or do beauty treatments these days."
