The New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and the atmosphere of the New Year on the street is getting stronger and stronger.
In the coldest season of the year, it should be considered normal for a friend to invite you out for a hot pot meal.
But this night, Feng Bujue, who was invited by Xiaotan to a certain hotel box, felt strange...
gurgling—
In the private room, there were three people sitting, but no one spoke... All that could be heard was the boiling sound of the hot pot soup.
"It seems... I still have to speak first..." In the end, Feng Bujue was the first to break the deadlock.
"Why are you so serious?" Bao Qing turned to look at him, wondering, "Didn't you bring any money?"
"You don't need to act any more." Feng Bujue's tone was still serious, "I could tell it as soon as I entered the door... This is a Hongmen banquet today."
"Brother Jue..." Xiao Tan twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and continued, "This meal is really not expensive, and the room fee is not bad... Besides, I planned to treat guests this meal."
"Huh..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly when he heard the words, "Xiaotan, Mr. Bao..." His eyes swept over the two of them respectively, "Your habits, small movements, and subconscious micro-expressions... I am better than anyone else." I understand..." He ignored the two people's topic about food money, but continued on his own, "Since I came in, the two of you have spoken no more than ten sentences in total, and your eyes have met no more than three times; sigh a little." People who seldom cross their legs crossed back and forth twice, and even played with their fingers three times successively... But Mr. Bao, as a person who pays great attention to dining etiquette, you looked down at your phone five times... "
He finished all this in one breath, then looked at the two men with confused faces, and asked in a deep voice: "You... have received the order from Section Chief Gu to arrest me, right?"
"No." Bao Qing replied decisively.
"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows, "Could it be... came to kill me?"
"Hehe..." Bao Qing laughed dryly again, "I can't kill you, you have also practiced the Dunjia Tianshu, and you have supernatural powers, so I'm sure I can't handle you alone and unarmed."
"Isn't there still Xiaotan?" Feng Bujue glanced at Xiaotan, "I heard that your family has cultivated immortals from their ancestors, right?"
"Uh..." Xiao Tan didn't know what to reply, "Actually..." So he simply bypassed this nonsensical question, and directly started to talk about his purpose, "I invited you here today to post a wedding invitation..." Said Then, he took a red envelope out of his pocket and put it in front of Brother Jue, "Because Mr. Bao came earlier than you, and he has something to do later, so I just gave him the envelope just now." .”
Silence came again.
After a brief exchange, Feng Bujue's reasoning was overturned; he didn't say anything for a long time, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward, which was exactly what the lyrics said - I'm most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
"Well..." After a while, Brother Jue's serious tone changed back to his usual lazy state, "Then why... After I came in, you didn't talk much?"
Bao Qing replied calmly: "You are a person who is half an hour late without saying hello, what do you want to hear after you come in? Do you want us to say 'it's okay, we just arrived'?"
"Then what's the matter with you looking at your phone all the time?" Brother Jue asked again.
"Didn't Xiao Tan say that? I've got something to do later." Bao Qing replied.
"Business?" Feng Bujue said.
"No comment." Bao Qing threw out these four words without thinking.
"Oh... That's official business." Brother Jue nodded, then looked at Xiao Tan again, "Hey~ Then why are you acting so embarrassed and have ghosts in your heart?"
"Hmm..." Xiaotan thought for a while, "On the one hand... it's because you didn't talk to us just now, and the atmosphere was so depressing. I thought you had something on your mind, so I hesitated and didn't open my mouth; on the other hand ..." At this point, he stood up, "Actually, I have eaten too much hot pot these two days, and I have a stomachache... Since there is nothing wrong now, I will go to the toilet first."
After that, he clutched his stomach and walked out quickly.
"Damn, can't I stop eating if I have a stomachache?" Feng Bujue rolled his eyes and yelled at Xiao Tan's back.
After arguing for a long time, the other party didn't have ghosts in his heart, but feces in his belly.
"There are two types of people in this world..." In the next second, Bao Qing looked down at his phone and complained, "The first type is that they like to eat tacos, but when they eat it, they get blood in their stools, so they don't eat it anymore." The one who eats; the second is the guy who keeps buying new underwear after eating a tortilla and having bloody stools…”
"HO~" Feng Bujue took a closer look at the meaning of the other party's words, "Although I think it would be more appropriate to use the example here, but you..."
"Hey, hello! Did you get the focus wrong?" Bao Qing put down the phone and interrupted Brother Jue, "Is that how you reacted when you saw the 'wedding invitation'? Our buddies are getting married soon, but what you focus on is On the example I used to complain about?"
"You said 'immediately' is a bit inaccurate." Feng Bujue said, "Technically speaking...he is 'already' married. Judging from the records of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he and Xiao Ling have already registered."
"Huh?" Now Bao Qing was dumbfounded, "How do you know?" After two seconds, he seemed to think of something, "Xiaotan told you? Hey~ But he didn't tell me."
"No, no... He didn't tell anyone except him, Xiaoling, and their families." Feng Bujue said, "I found out by myself." He spread his hands, "Do you understand?" My, I like to look through the database of government agencies as a pastime when I have nothing to do; but since last year, your Section Chief Gu has strictly restricted me from hanging out in the public security system. There is no way... I can only shift my target to civil affairs Departments and those semi-bureaucratic organizations... By the way, do you want to hear a few toilet jokes about the Football Association and the Writers Association? To earn some extra money, how about you come and try to laugh as an audience?"
"What you said later... I just pretended I didn't hear it..." Bao Qingxu said, "The key is... You already knew that Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling had registered, but you didn't tell me?"
"Respect his privacy, wouldn't it be good to let him tell us?" Feng Bujue replied without changing his expression.
"At this moment, you are interpreting the word 'shameless' in unison with your words and deeds, do you know that?" Bao Qing said.
"I respect other people's privacy." Feng Bujue shrugged, "Look... before he took out the wedding invitation, did I reveal a word about his marriage?"
After hearing this, Bao Qing thought for a long time, but did not think of further refuting the other party's words...
"However, having said that... the way you two just now really surprised me." Feng Bujue said, "I really thought Section Chief Gu sent you two to deal with me." He took out his mobile phone and stood up, "Anyway... I'm fine, I'll go out and make a call."
"Huh?" Bao Qing looked back at him, "It's just the two of us here, why do you have to go out to make a call?"
"It's nothing, because I thought I was in an ambush just now, so I put my hands in my pockets while you were not paying attention, and blindly sent some messages, notified some people, and arranged some backup plans..." Feng Bujue said as he walked, " Now that it's all right now, it's better for me to cancel those arrangements as soon as possible, of course... they have to hear my own voice before... "
"Okay, okay." Bao Qing shook his head while touching his forehead, and interrupted Brother Jue again, "Just pretend I didn't ask..."
In fact, Bao Qing has seen similar things before, that was when the three of them were in high school...
One day, a boy named Yue Fengbujue, who had had conflicts with Feng Bujue, came out to fight one-on-one. Brother Jue thought that the other party would plan to ambush him, but unexpectedly, the other party came alone. After the selection was over, I admitted without any complaints.
At that time, Bao Qing and Xiao Tan, who were hiding in the dark as a "backup plan", heard Brother Jue say these two words to the boy; "How many people know about your coming here today?" "Hmm... You'd better wait for me to make a few calls before going home."
After a while, when Bao Qing wanted to understand the meaning of those two sentences... he was also afraid for a while.
No one knows how many "backup plans" Feng Bujue has, and no one knows... what he will do, and to what extent.
But everyone has a consensus-if the end of the world suddenly comes one day, you must find someone with emergency measures by your side, you must be looking for him... Of course, the possibility of being used as emergency food after finding him cannot be ruled out.
"Hello?" Brother Jue didn't go too far. The sound insulation effect of the hotel's walls is relatively good, so he connected the phone directly in the corridor, "Snow? Ah... it's me... a false alarm, you People don't need to come over."
"It's really ruthless~" Snow's slightly joking voice came from the phone, "Am I the kind of friend you only contact when you need it?"
"Don't make it seem like the two of us have some kind of physical relationship." Feng Bujue said, "It's fine to say that we are friends who use each other, or I don't mind if you omit the word 'friend'. "
"Hehe..." Snow said with a smile, "Okay~ as long as you're happy..." He paused, "But since it's mutual use... tonight my subordinates have spent a lot of manpower and gas money for their trip for nothing. …”
"Two scripts." Feng Bujue knew what the other party was going to say, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, and just got to the point.
"Three." Snow immediately started bargaining.
"Two." Feng Bujue repeated firmly.
"It has to be in sleep mode." Snow said again.
"Deal." Brother Jue agreed on the conditions, and was about to hang up, "If there is nothing else, I..."
"Hey~" Snow raised his voice at this time, "By the way, just now, I saw a big piece of news on the game forum, which is related to you."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue said, "What is it?"
"'This evening, Hongying Studio released an announcement on the official website, announcing that the super-popular player [Xu Huaishang] had peacefully terminated the contract with the studio half a month ago; as soon as the news came out, the entire game circle was in an uproar. According to sources , in the contracts of star players of this level, there are very detailed regulations on the matters concerning the termination of the contract; Even if the contract period has expired, she will still bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract. The longest process for the termination of the contract is usually fifteen working days... It seems that the loss of the pillar is a very big blow to Hong Ying, so They kept putting off the announcement until the last minute.'" Snow read the press release exactly as it was written.
"So... what does this have to do with me?" Feng Bujue replied calmly.
Even though it seemed calm on the surface, in fact... when he asked this question, Brother Jue felt a little ominous foreboding.
"Hey..." Snow was waiting for this question. He smiled sinisterly and responded, "'The reporter of this site interviewed Xu Huaishang through online chat for the first time. When asked what will happen next?" When going to work in a studio, Xu Huaishang said that because of the non-compete clause, she could not join other game studios in the next six months. The reporter then asked her if she would take this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry, and Xu Huai Shang said that she will not leave the game industry, and even if she leaves one day, she will not enter the show business circle; finally, when the reporter asked her about her plans for the next six months, she replied that she was considering joining some powerful non-professional gamer clubs .And when asked which club is the most important, Xu Huaishang's response was - Hell Frontline.'”
