Chapter 385 News from Old Buddy
Everyone was originally looking at Zhong Yan, Meng Qing and the other three, but Ning Yuan was standing next to them, so it was hard not to see him.
So, with so many people looking over, they would naturally subconsciously glance at Ning Yuan next to him.
As expected, the hall suddenly became restless.
"Ningyuan! Buddy!"
A shout came from Ningyuan's right side.
Ning Yuan heard it clearly and quickly turned his head to look over.
Hey, it’s an acquaintance.
"Xiao Yang? Why are you here?"
When Ning Yuan saw that the person calling him was Xiao Yang, he was happy at first, but then he became puzzled.
Just at this time, Xiao Yang also walked around a few tables and came in front of Ning Yuan.
After hearing Ning Yuan's question, Xiao Yang first hugged Ning Yuan tightly, then let go of his hand and explained with a smile.
"Hey, don't mention it. I was originally planning to join the army, but a month before leaving, I ran into some bad luck and broke my leg, so I didn't go!"
Xiao Yang said it was a bad luck, but seeing how happy she was, he didn't seem to feel sorry at all.
Ning Yuan didn't plan to ask too many questions, so he just said a few polite words. After all, the most important thing today was to entertain Meng Qing's parents well.
But Xiao Yang's grandson obviously does not have this awareness.
He pulled Ning Yuan over and asked again.
"Hey buddy, I heard you guys went to the countryside? Why are you back so suddenly?"
Ning Yuan turned his head to look at Meng Qing and his mother and found that the three of them had already gone to the round table they had booked, so there was no need to rush.
After hearing Xiao Yang's question, he replied with a smile.
"My buddy is back from home leave!"
Xiao Yang looked at Zhong Yan, Meng Qing and the other two, and then he looked as if he suddenly understood something.
Then he immediately grabbed Ning Yuan's arm and tried to drag him towards their table.
He talked to Ning Yuan as he walked.
"Brother, go have a drink at my table, everyone's waiting!"
Ning Yuan had no way to refuse. After all, although Xiao Yang had asked him for help to set up trouble that time, he later got several paintings by Zheng Banqiao from this guy, which was considered a real profit.
Right now, Xiao Yang just wanted him to go over and have a drink with a bunch of his brothers, so that they could give Xiao Yang some face.
He had to help, so Ning Yuan did not refuse.
After coming to Xiao Yang's side, Ning Yuan realized that this was not just one table, but three tables of people, with a total of more than twenty people.
As soon as everyone saw Ning Yuan was really pulled over by Xiao Yang, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Everyone stood up excitedly, stretching their heads to see the most troublesome guy in the city.
Ning Yuan has seen large scenes with thousands of people before, so how could he be nervous in front of so many people?
Ning Yuan straightened his white shirt and without any pretense, turned around, found a cup and filled it up.
"Bang bang bang!"
After drinking it all in one gulp, everyone followed Ning Yuan's example and filled their glasses again.
"Brothers! Go!"
After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he raised his head and drank again.
Xiao Yang's friends also poured beer into their mouths while shouting.
After drinking three cups in a row, Ning Yuan finally gave an explanation to the guys at these tables.
After sitting down on the stool next to Xiao Yang, Ning Yuan also became a little curious.
"Hey buddy, are you in the factory now?"
Xiao Yang nodded and replied with a smile.
"It's at the factory. My dad had been transferred to a local job a long time ago. He was in charge of the Third Power Plant. During that time, I couldn't go to the army or go to the countryside, so my dad got me a job at his factory!"
Looking at Xiao Yang's relaxed expression, Ning Yuan really wanted to give this kid a beating.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Yuan looked at the young men at these tables and asked again.
"So what's going on with you guys? So many people come here to eat the new immigrants. You must be really strong!"
Ning Yuan guessed that it must be Xiao Yang who treated them all. Otherwise, with the meager salary of an ordinary worker, how could he afford to eat at a place like Xinqiao Hotel?
When Xiao Yang heard that Ning Yuan finally asked the question he wanted to ask, he pretended to be indifferent and waved his hand and said casually.
"It's just a small matter! Guess who my buddy contacted a while ago?"
Ning Yuan frowned and shook his head.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, it was that kid Du Weidong. After returning to his hometown in Japan, he actually took over half of their factory! They had all this damn good equipment, and he just eliminated it!"
"What? Did you get it back?"
Ning Yuan knew what was going on without even guessing. This guy must have taken advantage of his relationship with Du Weidong to get this batch of equipment back for his father's power plant.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but it’s true. The equipment that others have eliminated is actually much more advanced than the equipment we are currently using.
Xiao Yang nodded, and then continued to brag about his own achievements.
Ning Yuan didn't interrupt him. After all, his buddy had finally realized his self-worth, and he had to share this joy with him.
After Xiao Yang finished speaking, Ning Yuan also knew the details of the situation. This was a personal bonus given to him by the factory. He directly took it out to treat his brothers in the workshop to a meal!
This kid is really a loyal guy. It's worth it that I helped him back then. Wait two years, and when there is another chance, I will take this buddy to play together.
Ning Yuan thought about it and asked again.
"By the way, buddy, how did you get in touch with that kid Du Weidong? I just happened to have something to ask him!"
Xiao Yang didn't ask Ning Yuan what happened. He just wrote down Du Weidong's contact information for Ning Yuan and then let Ning Yuan go.
When I returned to my family's table, the dishes were almost served.
Meng Guilou and Ning Wanli started drinking naturally.
With so many people here, Zhong Yan obviously can no longer control Ning Wanli like she does at home.
After all, we are out in public, so we have to give him some face.
Ning Yuan returned to the dinner table and joined the drinking group.
Today's occasion was originally organized for Meng Qing and him.
However, he just drank two cups with the two elders. Zhong Yan, Qin Youfang and Meng Qing all controlled Ning Yuan and did not allow him to drink anymore.
Yes, after dinner, I still have to drive everyone back home, and it would be dangerous to drink too much.
Ning Yuan put down his wine glass.
The meal was very enjoyable. The chefs at Xinqiao Restaurant are all experienced masters, and their signature dishes are very authentic.
Xiao Yang even came over to toast once.
It was almost two o'clock when Meng Guilou and Ning Wanli finally enjoyed their drink to their heart's content!
After Zhong Yan stood up and paid the bill, everyone was preparing to leave.
As luck would have it, a group of people came in from outside the door!
