Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Say something! Are you pretending to be mute now?" Fangfang persisted.

"Didn't you say I didn't have to answer your questions? I don't want to answer your questions now, is that alright? How much you earn is a private matter, don't ask such questions, it's not appropriate to say it in public!" Ye Chen gave a polite smile.

"you--"

Fangfang was so angry that she stammered.

Ye Chen's words had a double meaning, and Li Lihua raised her eyebrows, realizing she was being referred to.

She just stated Liu Li's salary directly, without giving him any face at all. Was Ye Chen subtly pointing something out to her?!

At this moment, the waiter brought out the dishes, including several plates of appetizers and two pitchers of soy milk and corn juice.

The two women were about to explode, but they had to hold back for now!

Liu Li quickly smoothed things over by filling Li Lihua and Fangfang's glasses with corn juice.

"Come on, the corn juice here is great, you should try it!"

"Hmph—" Fangfang snorted coldly, looking rather sullen.

"I think you're too ashamed to answer because your salary is too low!" Fangfang said sarcastically.

Ye Chen ate his appetizers and ignored her.

How long can one person sing a monologue? Let her talk for a while, and then she'll quiet down!

"Eat, eat, eat! You're such an uncultured person, even the appetizers are eaten so seriously!" Fangfang was still a little annoyed.

Li Lihua stepped on Liu Li's foot, her face turning very unpleasant.

Although Liu Li looked exasperated, he still tried to smooth things over: "The appetizers were delicious, especially the boneless chicken feet and braised pig's tongue!"

As he spoke, he placed a boneless chicken foot on Li Lihua's plate.

"I don't eat chicken! Take it away!" Li Lihua snorted coldly.

"Try it, it's really delicious!" Liu Li said with a smile.

"Take it away!" Li Lihua frowned and raised her voice slightly, carrying an undeniable queenly aura.

Liu Li had no choice but to reluctantly put the chicken feet back into his bowl.

Ye Chen shook his head inwardly; this person's choice of partner was truly interesting.

This is some juicy gossip today! If they really get married, Ye Chen definitely won't go...

Ye Chen exclaimed that the hotel was slow to serve the food, and that it would be better to finish eating and leave as soon as possible, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Liu Li started making conversation, reminiscing about their high school days.

Actually, there are quite a few memories from high school, but Liu Li and Ye Chen don't have many separate memories.

The two of them were seated at opposite ends of the same desk for at most half a semester, and that's when they chatted the most.

Liu Li had a cell phone since high school, and Ye Chen borrowed it many times to listen to music.

Liu Li also helped download the song.

"Ye Chen, I remember you liked listening to Chinese Kung Fu back in high school. Everyone said your taste was a bit old-fashioned back then. Do you still listen to it now?" Liu Li asked with a smile.

Ye Chen had almost forgotten what songs he liked to listen to in high school.

He does indeed prefer listening to songs that are passionate and rhythmic.

Because listening to that kind of music can give him more energy to study.

Listen to a couple of songs when you're sleepy, and your spirits will return!

Liu Li's phone has limited memory, so he can only listen to a few songs at a time.

Ye Chen casually chimed in, "You still remember that? Didn't you often listen to 'Little Third' back then? It must have been you, right? Once during evening self-study, you were so engrossed in singing it that you attracted the teacher's attention!"

Liu Li scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh, haha, those were the days, too painful to recall. But the songs back then were really good; I can't appreciate them at all now!"

"That means you're getting old!" Ye Chen smiled slightly.

Of course, he also felt this way; the more he listened to music, the less he felt, or rather, the less emotional he became.

......

During our casual conversation, the first dish, Cordyceps and Bird's Nest, was finally served.

The food was served at a decent pace, almost one dish after another, which Ye Chen was quite satisfied with, at least there was no gap in the serving time.

After something was stuffed into their mouths, only the crisp clinking of bowls and chopsticks remained in the room.

The two girls, whether they had small appetites or were simply holding their food, only took a tiny bit of each dish.

Just like a food critic.

Ye Chen and his second uncle didn't care so much; at their level, they no longer needed to put on airs.

The two of them immediately buried their heads in their rice, picking up whatever they wanted to eat!

We've already paid, so we definitely need to eat our fill!

How can you enjoy a delicious meal if you're sitting there with an affected posture?

"See? What did I tell you? They can't taste anything good with such a good order. I think a plate of steamed buns and a chicken roll platter would be enough for them!" Fangfang muttered.

The sound was just right – not too loud, not too soft – so everyone in the room could hear it!

Ye Chen ignored her and wouldn't respond to her, which made her very angry, and she would try to provoke him from time to time.

It seemed that engaging in a verbal battle with Ye Chen gave her a sense of superiority.

However, Ye Chen still ignored her...

At this point, he had reached a state where he had no woman in his heart, and drinking was a natural state of divine inspiration!

The crows outside the window are cawing loudly; I'll ignore them.

Liu Li, knowing he could selectively ignore Fangfang, changed the subject with a smile, "Come on, old classmate, let's have a drink! These days, it's not easy to keep in touch with high school classmates!"

Ye Chen filled his glass and clinked it against Liu Li's: "We haven't been in touch much lately, but meeting today proves we still have a classmate bond. Cheers!"

Men can drink as much as the sky is falling.

Liu Li has a good alcohol tolerance; he must have practiced. He drinks one cup after another!

Ye Chen and his second uncle both had exceptional drinking capacity, especially Ye Chen; if he weren't already full, he could drink as much as he wanted...

They chatted and drank for almost 40 minutes.

Liu Li was already a bit tipsy; his eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly drunk.

We'd almost finished the two bottles of wine, and all the food had been served.

Ye Chen and his second uncle were quite full after their meal.

"Old classmate, thank you for organizing this gathering today. You've had a bit too much to drink, so go home and get some rest. My second uncle and I will be leaving now!"

Ye Chen immediately stood up to take his leave.

"Hey, why are you leaving so soon? Let's chat a little longer!" Liu Li said, trying to persuade him to stay.

"I have to go back to my hometown. Let's get together again next time!" Ye Chen said politely.

"Manager Liu, you should go back and get some rest. We'll be leaving now!" Second Uncle waved.

"Don't go yet, let's go to the second half, let's go to Huangbin KTV!" Liu Li stood up.

However, Li Lihua grabbed his waist with one hand and spun him 180 degrees, glaring at Liu Li with a murderous look.

Liu Li sobered up considerably in an instant, dared not mention the KTV again, and said goodbye to Ye Chen and the others.

Ye Chen and his second uncle exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and left the Wanjia Hotel first.

Liu Li, Li Lihua, and Fangfang went to the front desk to pay the bill.

"Check out room 203!" Liu Li said, his tongue a little tied, as he had already taken out a credit card and placed it on the counter.
