48 Zhang Shan is Facing a Problem Recently
Xiang Xiang Hotpot Restaurant.
Chu Bai and the other three walked in.
“Miss Jiang, over here.”
Zhang Shan stood up and smiled as he waved at them.
Then, the four of them walked over.
“Uncle!” Lu Yufan greeted him with a smile.
“Uncle,” Chu Bai also called out.
“Hey, Chu Bai, don’t call me ‘Uncle’. I’m only 35 years old. You can just call me Brother Zhang Shan,” Zhang Shan said to Chu Bai with a smile.
“Brother Zhang Shan.”
Chu Bai also sat down.
Yu Qingyu greeted him calmly, “Brother Zhang Shan.”
“I’ve ordered some food. Take a look and see if there’s anything else you want to eat. Order whatever you want.”
Zhang Shan smiled as he pushed the menu to Jiang Qianyue.
“I don’t need it. Fan Fan, Qingyu, Chu Bai, you guys can order.”
He passed the menu to Chu Bai.
“Little Lu.” Chu Bai passed the menu to Lu Yufan.
“Chu Bai, you can just call me ‘Fan Fan’. My family and friends all call me that,” Lu Yufan took the menu and said with a smile.
Chu Bai nodded.
“Brother Zhang Shan, this is the contract.” Jiang Qianyue passed the contract to Zhang Shan.
“If there’s no problem, then my team will welcome you.”
Zhang Shan took it.
“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang! I’m definitely fine with it. If I join, I’ll be your subordinate. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do,” Zhang Shan said.
“Well, if there’s a mission and I can’t go, I’ll definitely let you take the lead, Brother Zhang Shan. After all, I understand your experience and know that you have the ability.”
“Of course!” Zhang Shan nodded. “I won’t let you down!”
Then, he signed the contract.
“Brother Zhang Shan, aren’t you going to take a closer look at the contract?” Jiang Qianyue asked.
Zhang Shan waved his hand. “There’s no need. I believe in your character.”
Chu Bai laughed in his heart.
Zhang Shan might indeed be quite powerful, but he was too naive and trusted others too easily. He was already 35 years old and was not young anymore, but he did not consider the consequences of his actions at all. He would probably suffer a lot from this.
However, it was indeed safe to get along with such a person.
“Hahaha, then we’ll be a team from now on! I’ll be moving to the studio tonight. Let me toast to you all!”
Zhang Shan stood up and picked up the wine.
He really wanted to join this studio, not for any other reason but solely just because the salary and benefits were much better than other studios!
He was in need of money and a team.
Then, they had a drink together.
“Brother Zhang Shan, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to come to my studio. Don’t you have a family? You have a wife and children. Are they okay with this?” Jiang Qianyue asked.
Zhang Shan waved his hand. “What problem can they have? It’s not like I’m not going home anymore. It’s not far away. I’ll just go back to take a look every few days. Furthermore, the studio is on holiday.”
The four of them looked at each other.
“Ahem, I wasn’t talking about that.” Jiang Qianyue let out a dry cough.
“Huh? Then what are you referring to?”
“Uhh…” Jiang Qianyue truly did not know what to say.
After all, it was really disrespectful to talk about the affair of others.
Chu Bai said, “Miss Jiang means to say that women need company. Brother Zhang Shan, if you’re not home often, she’ll inevitably think…”
This hint was obvious enough, right?
“Oh, it’s fine. As a man, my career is the most important. My wife is very open-minded. Usually, when I go out late at night to play mahjong, play for a whole day, or even play throughout the night, she doesn’t care much. She supports me in having my own interests and hobbies as long as it’s not gambling. Besides, my wife doesn’t have many needs in that area,” Zhang Shan said.
“I see…”
Chu Bai nodded, but he did not say anything.
“But speaking of this, there’s something that’s been bothering me recently. I’d like to ask you guys for advice.”
Zhang Shan lit a cigarette and passed one to Chu Bai, who took it.
“Chu Bai, you smoke?”
Lu Yufan rested her chin on her hand and blinked her beautiful big eyes.
“Yeah, I do occasionally. Why?” Chu Bai asked.
“I’m guessing one of Fan Fan’s criteria for a boyfriend is that he doesn’t smoke,” Yu Qingyu said indifferently. “Maybe you were originally a candidate, but you might have been eliminated.”
“Oh, Sister Qingyu, you’re so annoying. Why are you joking with me? No, no, that’s not it.”
Lu Yufan’s face turned red.
Chu Bai smiled and did not say anything.
Jiang Qianyue revealed a smile and asked Zhang Shan, “Brother Zhang Shan, what’s bothering you?”
Zhang Shan took a puff of his cigarette and said, “Let me tell you a story. Recently, I realized that my wife has been chatting with others on her phone until late at night. She often goes out with her makeup done and is away for a long time. When I ask her about it, she says that she’s chatting with her best friends and going out to play.”
Chu Bai and the others looked at each other.
This should be obvious enough, right? This man should have figured it out, right?
“And then what?”
Lu Yufan asked, looking like a bystander.
“Yesterday, my wife spent an hour putting on makeup and went out again. This time, I secretly followed her.”
Hiss!
They all gasped.
This was so exciting!
Zhang Shan continued, “I followed my wife all the way downstairs. I saw her get into a black SUV. I wanted to chase after her immediately. At that moment, I realized… the tire of my f*cking new bicycle was out of air!”
“So, what is it that you want to ask?” Chu Bai asked.
“I’m quite annoyed at this. I just want to ask you guys if the warranty covers a flat bicycle tire?”
Chu Bai, Yu Qingyu, Lu Yufan, and Jiang Qianyue were all speechless.
“Cough, cough.”
Jiang Qianyue let out a dry cough.
“You just wanted to ask this?” Jiang Qianyue asked.
“Yeah! What else could it be? My bicycle costs a few thousand yuan.”Zhang Shan nodded.
The few of them looked at each other.
Oh my God!
This?
“Do you know? Is it under warranty?” Zhang Shan asked.
Chu Bai broke into a cold sweat.
‘I can only say that I must help him! I have to make him see things clearly this time!’
“Brother Zhang Shan, I have a question for you too,” Chu Bai said.
“Sure.”
Chu Bai then said, “Recently, I met a woman on Momo. I get along very well with her and often ask her out. Sometimes, she doesn’t go home at night and tells her husband that she’s out playing mahjong all night. Recently, her husband has been very suspicious of her.”
“What then?” Zhang Shan asked curiously.
Chu Bai said, “Yesterday, I drove an off-road vehicle to her house to pick her up. She told me that her husband was secretly following her, so I got out of the car and punctured the tire of his bicycle.”
“Hahahaha… Brother Chu Bai, you sure are funny!” Zhang Shan laughed out loud.
Chu Bai smiled and nodded, then continued, “His wife and I left in my car. We were very happy, so we went to the convenience store to buy two drinks to celebrate. After finishing the drinks, I went to get more. But when I went to place an order, the boss wouldn’t let me.”
“So, what is it that you want to ask me?”
“I just want to ask you what I should do if the boss doesn’t let me place another order?” Chu Bai said.
The three girls beside him did not say a word.
Chu Bai’s words did not sound pleasant, but he was considered very kind. Zhang Shan should know now, right?
Zhang Shan pondered for a moment.
“Brother Chu Bai, I don’t know much about this. Besides, you haven’t told me if my bicycle can be fixed under the warranty.”
Everyone was speechless.
