Chapter 458: Gathering of Middle-Aged People

Fang Yuan thought for a while in the car and finally figured out his family's situation. He felt heavy in his heart.

While driving home, I called Qiao Weidong.

"Old Joe, do you have time to have a drink tonight?"

"Okay, you find a place, I'll be there in a minute."

After Qiao Weidong received Fang Yuan’s call, he agreed without hesitation.

He and Xiao Meng had a big fight these past two days because he wanted to move back to Shuxiang Yayuan, and Xiao Meng was reluctant about it.

The two of them were almost done, so Qiao Weidong wanted to drink something.

Fang Yuan sent Qiao Weidong a message for a restaurant near Shuxiang Yayuan, and then went there.

"Wenjie, I won't be home for dinner tonight. Lao Qiao and I will go out for a drink tonight. I will be back later."

"Okay, go ahead, but don't drink too much."

Tong Wenjie did not refuse. After all, the couple had already divided the work. She was responsible for Song Qian's side, and Fang Yuan was responsible for Qiao Weidong's side. They would work on both sides and try to avoid any accidents.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Yuan arrived at the restaurant. After finding a seat and sitting down, he refused the waiter's offer to order food and waited by himself.

After a while, Qiao Weidong arrived.

"Fang Yuan, why didn't you order any food?"

"Hey, I'm waiting for you. I've already taken the night off. There's no rush."

"Okay, your Tong Wenjie actually agreed to go out for a drink now, that's good."

"You may not know my family, but Tong Wenjie makes the decisions on small matters, and I make the decisions on big matters. My status is unquestionable."

Qiao Weidong laughed and pointed at Fang Yuan without saying anything.

"Okay, let's order some food. I'm a little hungry."

"Okay, I won't slander you anymore. Just don't take my words seriously."

Qiao Weidong took the menu and ordered a few dishes. Fang Yuan ordered two more, and that was about it.

"By the way, bring two bottles of wine, let's drink first."

Seeing that the two people had finished ordering, the waiter obediently left.

The restaurant served the food quite efficiently, and after a while, several dishes came up one after another.

"Come on, Old Joe, let's have a drink first."

Fang Yuan clinked glasses with Qiao Weidong, and then Fang Yuan drank two taels of wine in one gulp without paying any attention to Qiao Weidong.

"Oh my god, Fang Yuan, what's wrong with you today? Normally, I have to beg you to drink some wine, what's wrong with you today?"

"Hey, it's okay. I just feel bad."

"You know my two kids are taking entrance exams, and we've even rented a house from Song Qian. A few days ago, Tong Wenjie was demoted because she always asked for leave."

"Originally our company was reorganized, and I thought that since I was so senior, I would at least get a promotion, but I didn't expect that I would be fired."

"You said these capitalists are really inhumane."

After hearing Qiao Weidong's question, Fang Yuan took the opportunity to complain to Qiao Weidong.

"You have been in this company for more than ten years, right? I remember you have been here since the start of the business?"

"Yes, I have been in the company for so many years. I have worked hard even if I have not made any contributions. I never thought that I would end up like this."

Qiao Weidong was not surprised at all. After all, he knew Fang Yuan's work attitude. He would slack off whenever he could. Moreover, he did not have a lawyer qualification certificate, so he had no competitiveness in the market at all.

Now that other companies have capital coming in, of course they won’t hire you.

It’s not that Qiao Weidong didn’t understand what Fang Yuan meant, but his own company had a legal department who was much more capable than Fang Yuan. Besides, he was doing a good job, so there was no way he would fire him to make room for Fang Yuan.

"It's okay, Fang Yuan. You have so many years of work experience here. Finding a job is not a piece of cake."

"Hey, that's enough, I won't talk about it today. I'm going to look for a job starting Monday. I hope you can give me some good wishes."

Fang Yuan saw that Qiao Weidong did not suggest that he go to his company, and he knew what Qiao Weidong meant.

So we didn’t continue this topic.

Tong Wenjie had always planned to let Fang Yifan marry Qiao Yingzi, so that she would have everything. She would be responsible for Qiao Weidong and could not offend him.

"It's okay. We've been brothers for so many years. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I'll give it to you."

"Okay, good brother, just your words are enough."

Qiao Weidong has only one idea: he can lend you money, but he will never use it for work.

The two of them drank one cup after another and it was past eight o'clock.

Ji Yangyang was at the gate of the community. After seeing Qiao Yingzi, Huang Zhitao off and the others, he turned around and went out to find something to eat.

Ji Shengli and Liu Jing had something to do today, so there was no food at home in the evening. Ji Yangyang was hungry now, so he had to go out and find something to eat by himself.

"Uncle Qiao?"

When Qiao Weidong heard someone calling him, he looked up in confusion.

"Oh, classmate Ji Yangyang, have you finished your evening study? Where's Yingzi?"

"Uncle Qiao, we are done with get out of class, Yingzi has gone home, I am a little hungry, so I came out to eat something."

"Oh, I'm glad Yingzi is home. I think she's doing well these days."

"Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm a lot happier than before. Aunt Song Qian makes delicious food for her in different ways. We are all benefiting from it."

Qiao Weidong was a little overwhelmed, but he was not confused yet. Hearing that Song Qian had really changed, he felt quite proud. After all, this was his own credit.

"Okay, that's good. You also have uncle's phone number. If there is anything on Yingzi's end, please tell me."

"Okay, no problem. Then Uncle Qiao, you guys drink. I have to go back to study after dinner."

"Okay, then go eat quickly. We don't have much left here. We won't keep you here today. I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Uncle Qiao to treat me."

Ji Yangyang saw that the waiter had brought over the food he had packed, so he didn't waste any more words. After taking it, he went to pay the bill.

"Waiter, this kid's bill is on me, Ji Yangyang, you can just leave."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Qiao for the treat, but this doesn't count as the treat you just mentioned. Let's go, Uncle Qiao."

Qiao Weidong looked at Ji Yangyang's rudeness and admired his generosity.

"Old Joe, what's going on? Whose child is this? You seem so familiar with him."

Fang Yuan just watched the interaction between the two without interrupting. He only asked after Ji Yangyang left.

"This one is Yingzi's classmate, Ji Yangyang. I don't know the others."

"Ji Yangyang, why do I feel so familiar here?"

Fang Yuan drank too much and his brain was not working properly. He just felt that the name was very familiar, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't remember it, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Come on, let's continue drinking. Let your Xiao Meng come pick you up later."

"Don't worry about it. I have already renovated the house over here. I will live here soon and won't go back."

When Fang Yuan heard what Qiao Weidong said, he felt jealous. Look, other people have houses here and in other places, but he still has to rent a house here, and he even has a mortgage on his own house. It's really incomparable.
