    When Gong Xiaojun returned home from Liuzhuang, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon the next day. At this time, the bp machine placed on the desk at home was beeping the message prompt tone.  He threw the two bottles of Liu Zhuang special tune that Liu Fukang gave him into the sofa angrily, picked up a towel and wiped the dust off his face, and then picked up the bp machine from the table.

    Gong Xiaojun and Min were brought back by a special car sent by Liu Fukang. For the first time in history, Gong Jiahua had a high-end car and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Of course Gong Xiaojun knew in his heart that he was in favor of Min.  Liu Fukang's generosity and enthusiasm for Min were unexpected to both Min and Gong Xiaojun.  At first Min even thought that Liu Fukang would refuse to let her see her son, and that she would have to sever this mother-child relationship completely, as has happened to many broken families.  However, not only did Liu Fukang not do this, but he strongly supported it, which cannot but be touching.  They also believe that Liu Fukang will not forget that love experience, although to some extent, Liu Fukang is the victim of this love story.  He loves Min, but Min doesn't love him. The reason why Min marries him is only for political purposes, which dooms the tragic color of this love story.  So he gets the allergy, but loses it after a few years.  Min's mood can't be said to be better or worse than when she left. After all, she got the precious good news that her son Liu Jianguo has returned to the provincial capital by her side.  As for the educated youth restaurant, she was not very enthusiastic. Is the restaurant so easy to manage?  Is money so easy to earn?  However, Gong Xiaojun firmly believes that this is a good thing, if you don't pick up the pies that fall from the sky, you won't pick them up for nothing, regardless of the motives of the person who threw the pies.

    Gong Xiaojun picked up the bp phone and held it in his hand for a while before looking at it. He was wondering who had paged him.  The several messages displayed by the bp machine are the same: Please call back quickly, 168, Jing.

    In the past few days, Gong Xiaojun, who had acquaintance with Jing once, has already forgotten Jing, just like he is gradually forgetting the girl named Zhuzhu.

    Crystal?  What does Jing want me for?  Gong Xiaojun couldn't figure it out, he pinned the bp machine on his waist, and didn't plan to go back.  But when he sat down to smoke, he couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity. He thought that Jing is a very charming girl. It is not a bad thing for a charming girl to take the initiative to associate with you, not to mention that you are a single man now.  Thinking of this, Gong Xiaojun went out to the public phone booth on Guangming Street to call Jing back.

    The phone booth was the first time Gong Xiaojun called Jing, but because of the arrival of the cold winter, several windows were tightly blocked.  Thinking of how rude he was to the old man that time, Gong Xiaojun smiled at him embarrassedly, that fake smile was like a fool.

    "Grandpa, hello." Gong Xiaojun patted the window glass and called out cordially.

    "Hello." The old man opened the window and said with a smile.

    In fact, the old man had long forgotten about this person named Gong Xiaojun. How could he remember all the people who called him every day?

    "I'm calling." Gong Xiaojun pointed to the phone in the phone booth and said.

    The old man stood up with a smile, handed the phone to Gong Xiaojun, and said, "It's cold outside, why don't you come in and make a call."

    Gong Xiaojun waved his hand and said, "Master, no need."

    The call was connected immediately, and then came Jingjiao Didi's voice, which was still mixed with a few traces of sadness: "Brother Gong, what did you do? Why did you call back?"

    Gong Xiaojun froze for a moment, unable to think of how to tell her his whereabouts these two days.  As for Liu Zhuang, where he went to the countryside?  He shook his head, he thought she would think he was out of his mind, how could a person under forty start nostalgic?

    "My bp machine is out of battery." Gong Xiaojun finally thought of a reason and said.

    "No electricity? No electricity? Why can I still see yesterday's paging today?" Jing Chong yawned into the microphone and said, "You seem to be quite honest. I didn't expect you to be an expert in lying."

    "Don't be overwhelmed with emotion," Gong Xiaojun looked back at the empty phone booth, and said, "I'm using a public phone, and there are still many people waiting to call here, what do you want from me?  ".

    "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Jing asked back, and the melancholy mixed in Jiao Didi's tone became more serious.

    "Yes, who says you can't? I'm not a national treasure giant panda. What do you want from me? Tell me quickly." Gong Xiaojun urged.

    "I, Brother Gong, I want to treat you to dinner." Jing said hesitantly.

    Gong Xiaojun was silent for a while, he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why she invited him to dinner for no reason.

    "I'm not hungry." Gong Xiaojun burped loudly on purpose and said.

    "Can you stop being arrogant?" Jing said angrily, "I'll eat you again?"

    Crystal will naturally not for no reason.After eating Gong Xiaojun, remembering that time when he insisted on meeting him so shamelessly, Gong Xiaojun thought, how can he refuse now?

    "Okay, I'll go, but where?" Gong Xiaojun finally agreed.

    "Do you know that there is a Dongle residential complex in the northern suburbs? I live in the east of the complex, Room 302, Unit 2, Building 5, District 3. I'll wait for you." Jing finished speaking in one breath, and then hung up the phone  up.

    Gong Xiaojun's phone was not on, and the busy tone on the receiver seemed to be that Jing was still talking about something.  He took the receiver from his ear, looked at it, and then smiled at the glass door of the phone booth, thinking of a beauty trick in a foreign spy movie, and said to himself, invite me to dinner?  Why invite me to dinner?

    Jing Jing wants to invite Gong Xiaojun to dinner, of course she has her reasons.  That night, after Jing broke up with Gong Xiaojun in the song and dance hall of Longfeng Hotel, she went to another song and dance hall, the Emperor's Song Hall, where she usually worked as a lady on stage.  The reason why she was anxious to break up with Gong Xiaojun that night was precisely because of the paging that rang twice. Qian Gang, the owner of Tianhuang Cabaret, urged her to come over immediately, saying that there were two important guests who needed to be with him.  Mistake.  Jing and Qian Gang have a good relationship and have lived together for a while. Of course, as the owner of a nightclub, it is easy to live with a lady, but the time of living with Jing is longer.  Qian Gang takes good care of Jing, for example, as long as Jing comes, she can sit on stage, and always introduces generous guests to Jing.

    The two guests who came that night were Li, with a pockmarked face, and Zhu Cheng, with long hair like a woman's.  Qian had just met them once before, when he and a group of buddies were drinking in a big hotel.  They were at different tables, and the bearded Ma who drank with Qian Gang knew the man named Li Mazi, so he said to Qian Gang, hey, Qian Gang, look at the one with the pockmarked face, that is the famous Li Mazi here.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
