After getting off work at noon, Wu Qi hastily left the company and took a taxi to the restaurant where he had booked a meal. He had originally planned to go with Cheng Wushuang, but fearing that their colleagues would misunderstand their relationship, he went ahead first.

  In fact, he was also in contact with Cheng Wushuang, and to some extent, he had a private heart. After all, the other party is now the head of the company, his direct superior, and has certain powers of appointment and removal. So if he can use their childhood friendship as a medium to build a good relationship with them, then his own rise to prominence will not be far off.

  He also knew that his goal was not so simple, but reality is like this, to want to mix out a head in society, ability is only a small piece, the truly important core is connections, is what is called relationships, and these are exactly what he didn't have before.

  The restaurant where he ordered food was a Western-style restaurant, with a moderate level of quality, which was already the limit of what he could afford. After all, he had just paid a considerable amount of rent and still had to maintain his living expenses for the rest of the month.

  Some slowly pushed open the door and came in. The enthusiastic waiter immediately came up to greet him, smiling and beckoning to him:

  "Hello sir, are you looking for someone or here to dine?"

  "Dinner."

  "Do you need to make a reservation in advance?"

  "Yes."

  Wu Qi took out his mobile phone and explained his seat number for ordering meals to the waiter, who then led him to the second floor.

  It's just lunchtime, so there are many people eating in the restaurant, which is also why the waiter asked for his table number. He took a rough look around and found that the environment was quite elegant and the service attitude of the staff was not bad. He was also very satisfied with his choice. He would be so concerned, saying a thousand words and ten thousand words, still afraid that Cheng Wuduan would think this place is not high-end enough, thus continuing to deepen the sense of distance between them.

  Because his seat number was in the middle of the second floor, so as soon as he came up, his eyes drifted over there first, but someone sat down before him.

  "Little Shuang?"

  Seeing Cheng Wushuang sitting there with an unexpected expression, he was somewhat surprised in his heart, but this did not affect the smile hanging on his face.

  Hearing Wu Qi's voice, Cheng Wushuang slowly raised his head and smiled in response:

  "It seems I'm one step ahead of you."

  "Yes, I thought my speed was fast enough."

  As he walked, Wu Qi came to the front of Cheng Wushuang and sat down across from him. As soon as he sat down, Wu Qi couldn't help but ask Cheng Wushuang:

  "How did you know this place? You're really amazing!"

  Cheng Wushuang didn't give an answer, he just smiled at him, seeing that the other party didn't want to say anything, Wu Qi also knew not to ask again, and then he changed the subject and said:

  "Yesterday was really embarrassing, I didn't know you'd be so annoyed, otherwise..."

  "Sir?"

  Wu Qi's words were cut off by the waiter beside him, who abruptly interrupted him. This impolite behavior also made him somewhat angry. He first apologetically glanced at Cheng Wushuang, and then angrily said to the waiter:

  "Don't you know that interrupting others is very impolite?"

  "Ah?" The waiter was taken aback and his gaze also became strange:

  "Excuse me, sir, I was wondering what you would like?"

  Wu Qi took the menu from the waiter's hand and then said dissatisfiedly to her:

  "Don't you know you should ask the lady first about such things?"

  "But here is..."

  The waitress seemed to think of something and held back the words. Then she heard Wu Ji ask:

  "What do you like to eat?"

  "Two steaks will be fine."

  "Don't you want some more?"

  "That's all."

  "Alright then." Wu Qi gave up and handed the menu back to the waitress beside him, saying:

  "Four steaks, two Caesar salads, and two Italian vegetable soups."

  After ordering, the waiter hastily walked away with the menu, and before going downstairs, he even turned back to glare at Wu Qi.

  "What a terrible day! And I even ran into a psycho!"

  At this time, Wu Qi was also complaining to Tong Cheng Wushuang:

  "I'm so sorry to have made you laugh, I really didn't know the service attitude here would be so bad."

  To ease this awkwardness, Wu Qi hurriedly brought up another topic:

  "By the way Xiaoshuang, are Ah Jun and them still in contact with you?"

  "Uh-huh, I've been looking for them these past few days and have already found two."

  "That's really great, if you get in touch with them, be sure to tell me, I'm serious, it's been so many years since I've seen them and I really miss them."

  It's not that he misses those childhood friends, but rather the carefree times they represented. He often finds himself reminiscing in forgetfulness and forgetting in reminiscence, with neither new nor old memories left in the end.

  Hearing Wu Qi say this, Cheng Wushuang's mouth corners slowly raised a slight arc, seemingly smiling yet not quite responding:

  "Don't worry, you will meet soon."

  Wu Qi didn't seem to notice anything wrong and smiled, intending to continue talking about the topic of childhood:

  "Do you still remember that math exam? I was sitting behind you, copying your multiple-choice questions. As a result, I copied all the way to the end and found out that one question was missing, but by then you had already handed in your paper. Having no other choice, I filled in D for that question. When the grades came out, I became the laughing stock of the whole class because there was no option D for that question."

  That thing was eventually known by my dad, and as a result, I got beaten up badly. It was from then on that I started learning.

  "I don't remember any of these things, all I remember is that you guys always bullied Xiaofeng and made fun of him."

  "Xiao Feng?"

  Wu Qi's smile on his face suddenly froze, and after a while, he replied:

  "Yes, at that time we always made fun of him, but his courage was indeed small and pitiful, otherwise he wouldn't have been scared to death. Let's not mention him anymore, let's talk about something happy instead."

  He actually wanted to ask about the child from yesterday, but was afraid that Cheng Wushuang would suddenly turn hostile again, so he swallowed his words. At this time, the meal he had ordered earlier was ready, however...

  "Don't go yet!"

  "Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?"

  "Can't you see?! Just give me a set of tableware, are you asking me to hold a plate and drink?!"

  This time the waiter was not the previous one, and he was younger than the previous one, so his tone was a bit more aggressive.

  "You're eating alone, of course I'll give you a set of tableware. If you had three heads and six arms, I'd give you two sets!"

  Wu Qi was already somewhat angry, and when he heard what the waiter said, he couldn't bear it anymore:

  "Stop wasting words with me, call your manager over!"

  "You let me call and I'll call, who do you think you are?!"

  Hearing their quarrel, the crowd around them who were having dinner couldn't help but turn to look over, which made Wu Qi feel even more embarrassed, especially in front of Cheng Wushuang. This face was really lost big time.

  Just as Wu Qi was about to go downstairs to find the manager to resolve the matter, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He took out his mobile phone and found that it was a call from his colleague Zhang Chuan.
