Chapter 25 Acts of Kindness
Dynasty Hotel.
One of the best hotels in Dongjiang City.
Of course, the consumption level here is also top-notch.
Xu Boan had just bought a new house and was in a good mood, so he chose this high-end place.
As a construction company executive, especially one who was in charge of hundreds of millions of engineering projects back then, Xu Boan was familiar with this place.
The familiar ones chose a private room and ordered dishes, and the two of them ate happily.
Although it is not the first time for Chen Pingping to eat at this place, it is the first time for her to order food so heartily.
This feeling of simply eating whatever you want without looking at the price of the dishes is simply not that satisfying.
Because he was dining alone with the lady, Xu Boan ordered a bottle of red wine. For driving problems, just find a driver.
The two of them frequently changed cups and cups, and gradually became tipsy.
When people drink too much, they tend to think too much.
At this moment, Chen Pingping actually had the subtle thought "It would be great if I could always enjoy such a life."
So, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
Under the blurred light, the more Chen Pingping looked at Xu Boan, the more pleasing she became.
Although Xu Bo'an had already mastered the ability to drink a thousand glasses of wine without getting drunk on engineering projects, drinking this little red wine was like sugar water and was not affected at all.
But seeing Chen Pingping's face flushed due to the alcohol, sweat beads showing slightly, and her mature charm exuding in her frown and smile, she actually felt a little thirsty.
Three months of drought after the marriage, Xu Boan was already hungry and thirsty.
With such a beautiful scenery and such a good time, the two people are in a comfortable mood. They look at each other and the distance is getting closer and closer.
"The moon sets and the crows cry, it is always the wind and frost of a thousand years; the sound of the waves is still..."
Suddenly, the appearance of a phone ringing made the two of them suddenly wake up, and they were stunned on the spot with some embarrassment.
Chen Pingping found her mobile phone from the bag next to her, looked at the call on the caller ID, and suddenly felt panicked.
It feels like you have been caught doing bad things.
Chen Pingping's cheeks were even redder, she lowered her eyebrows and whispered softly: "Sorry, I'm going out to take a call."
Xu Bo'an got up first and said: "You are here Just take it, I just want to go out and have a cigarette to get some fresh air."
Chen Pingping said politely: "No, I'd better go out. You can smoke in the house."
Xu Bo'an smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you may not be used to the smoke in the room. I still want to maintain a gentlemanly manner in front of the lady."
After saying that, Chen Pingping smiled without waiting for any further politeness. Walked out of the box.
The private rooms of the Dynasty Hotel are circular.
Every four or five private rooms have an outdoor terrace of several square meters, with a bathroom next to it.
Firstly for good ventilation and light, and secondly for convenience. After all, not every box has a bathroom.
Of course it was impossible for Xu Boan to smoke in the corridor, so he walked a few steps and turned to the bathroom next to the terrace.
As soon as I untied my belt and was about to drain the water, I heard a rush of footsteps, followed by a muffled groan, and then overwhelming movement.
Accompanied by the disgusting smell of alcohol mixed with half-digested food.
Okay, someone drank until they vomited.
There is no way to smoke in this place, even cigarettes can’t cover the smell!
Xu Boan shook his head, Shi Shiran let go, and was about to leave here without any worries.
Just then I heard the man start a second round of communication.
This time it was even more violent than the first time. As a person who had experienced it, Xu Boan knew that it was definitely his own throat.
Xu Boan looked sideways and saw a man who was a few years older than himself lying on the sink, wiping his mouth with tissue paper from time to time. His legs were leaning against the sink with some difficulty, and some Trembling frequently.
Good guy, this is how much wine you drank. Life is not easy, especially for a man of this age.
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but think of the years he spent working on the project.
Others only see their infinite glory, and few people know the embarrassment and helplessness they hide behind.
Thinking of this, Xu Boyan felt compassion.
I went out and bought a bottle of Nongfu Spring from a vending machine in the corridor, and then turned back and walked towards the man.
Gently pushing the box of tissue paper in the distance closer, Xu Boan said, "Brother, are you okay?"
The man wiped it without raising his head. Mouth, stretched out his hand and waved it, indicating that he was fine.
Xu Bo'an reached out and handed over the bottle of water and said: "Here, drink some water to moisten your throat."
The man eagerly took Xu Bo'an's water, drank a large amount of water, rinsed his mouth and spit it out after.
Then he took the tissue and wiped his mouth, then turned around.
"Thank you, brother! I made you laugh."
The man's face was flushed, and when he spoke, a strong breath of alcohol spurted out.
Even Xu Boan, the project manager of the alcohol test, felt that it was too much.
Xu Bo'an shook his head and said: "Brother, you are worrying too much. We are all men. Who dares not to have been drunk for a few times."
The man smiled and stood with his backhand leaning on the sink. Steady, he said: "I came out in a hurry, and the cigarette was left in the box. Can I have a cigarette?"
Xu Boan took out the cigarette and handed it over, first gave one to the man to light, and then gave He lit one himself and said: "Brother, you have to pay attention to your health. From my experience, your condition has almost reached the critical point of your body. Be careful!"
An unexpected encounter, Xu Bo'an also You can't stop people from drinking.
Just a few words of advice is already the most benevolent and righteous thing to do.
You can't interfere with others arbitrarily. It would be bad if you delay other people's important events.
The man gave a wry smile and said, "Oh, thank you for your concern, brother, I really can't help myself!"
Xu Bo'an said empathetically: "Yes, nine times out of ten, life is not what you want it to be. How can you live up to your expectations? "
The man took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, exhaled a thick circle of smoke, and stood up with force. Xu Bo'an hurriedly helped him.
"Thank you, brother, I have to go in and kill again."
Seeing a waiter walking by, the man called to the waiter and said: "Waiter, come here."
"Hello sir, how can I help you?" the waiter asked with a professional smile.
Patted Xu Bo'an on the shoulder, the man said grandly, "This gentleman's consumption today will be charged to my account."
Xu Bo'an said hurriedly: "Brother, you can't do this. You're so polite."
Xu Bo'an spent a lot of money on this meal. The bottle of wine alone cost thousands. It was all about having fun.
Now I just gave the other party a cigarette, which cost me five yuan, in exchange for a meal? Xu Boan is embarrassed.
Moreover, the other party is currently drunk, who knows if he just said something impulsively.
"We are destined to meet each other. I really can't hold it anymore, otherwise I would have to go to your box to interrupt you and offer a toast."
The man joked disapprovingly. Then he turned around and walked out.
Xu Boan frowned and looked at the man's back, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to stop the man.
“Brother, stay!”
While talking, Xu Boan probed his consciousness into the mountain temple inside the bonsai.
