Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0087 Weird
After get off work at noon, Wu Qi left the company in a hurry and took a taxi to the restaurant where he had ordered food. He originally planned to go with Cheng Wushuang, but he was afraid that his colleagues would misunderstand their relationship, so he left first.
In fact, he had some selfish motives in contacting Cheng Wushuang. After all, he was now the director of the company and his immediate superior, with certain powers of appointment and dismissal. So if he could use the medium of childhood friendship to build a good relationship between them, then the day when he would come to the fore would be just around the corner.
He also knew that his purpose was not so simple, but that was the reality. If one wanted to get ahead in society, ability was only a small part. The truly important core was connections, the so-called relationships, which were exactly what he had not had before.
The restaurant he ordered food from was a Western restaurant, which was of medium quality and not too high. This was already the limit of what he could afford. After all, he had just paid a considerable rent, and the remaining money had to sustain his living expenses for this month.
He pushed the door open slowly, and the enthusiastic waiter immediately came up to him and greeted him with a smile:
"Hello sir, are you looking for someone or are you going to have a meal?"
"Meal."
“Do you have a reservation?”
"have."
Wu Qi took out his cell phone and told the waiter his seat number, and then the waiter led him to the second floor.
It was lunch time, so there were many people eating in the restaurant, which was why the waiter asked him for his seat number. He took a quick look and found the environment to be quite elegant, and the service attitude of the staff was also good. He was also very satisfied with his choice. He cared so much because he was afraid that Cheng Wushuang would think this place was not up to standard, which would further deepen the distance between them.
Because his seat was in the middle of the second floor, his eyes drifted there as soon as he arrived, but someone had sat there before him.
"Xiao Shuang?"
Seeing Cheng Wushuang sitting there with foresight, he was somewhat surprised, but this did not affect the smile on his face.
Hearing Wu Qi's voice, Cheng Wushuang slowly raised his head, and then responded with a smile:
"It seems that I am a little faster than you."
"Yeah, I thought I was fast enough."
As they walked, they answered each other with a smile. Wu Qi came close to Cheng Wushuang and lowered his body to sit opposite him. As soon as he sat down, Wu Qi couldn't help but ask Cheng Wushuang:
" How did you know this place? You are amazing!"
Cheng Wushuang did not give an answer, but just smiled at him. Seeing that the other party did not want to talk, Wu Qi also knew what to do and did not ask any more questions. Then he changed the subject and said:
"I'm so sorry about yesterday. I didn't know you would be so annoying. Otherwise..."
"gentlemen?"
Before Wu Qi could finish his words, the waiter beside him suddenly interrupted him. This impolite behavior also made him a little angry. He first looked at Cheng Wushuang apologetically, and then said to the waiter angrily:
"Don't you know that interrupting others without permission is very rude?"
"Ah?" The waiter was startled, and the look he gave him became strange:
"Excuse me sir, I wanted to ask what would you like to order?"
Wu Qi took the menu from the waiter, and then said to her dissatisfiedly:
"Don't you know you should ask a lady first about this kind of thing?"
"But here..."
The waitress seemed to have thought of something and held back the words. Then, she heard Wu Qi ask:
"What do you like to eat?"
"Two steaks will do."
"Don't you want anything else?"
"No, that's all."
"Okay then." Wu Qi no longer insisted, turned around and handed the menu back to the waiter, then said to her:
"Four steaks, two Caesar salads, and two minestrone soups."
After ordering, the waiter hurried away with the menu in his arms. Before going downstairs, he turned back and glared at Wu Qi:
"I'm so unlucky today. I even ran into a psychopath!"
Just as the waiter was thinking this, Wu Qi also complained to Cheng Wushuang:
"I'm sorry to embarrass you. I didn't know the service attitude here would be so bad."
In order to ease the embarrassment, Wu Qi quickly found another topic:
"By the way, Xiaoshuang, are Ajun and the others still in touch with you?"
"Well, I have indeed been looking for them these past few days, and I have found two."
"That's great. If you get in touch with them, please let me know. To be honest, I miss them a lot after not seeing them for so many years."
It would be more accurate to say that he missed his childhood friends rather than the carefree time. He was a person who often reminisced while losing memory, and then lost memory while reminiscing. In the end, nothing was left, either new or old.
Hearing Wu Qi say this, Cheng Wushuang's mouth corners slowly raised a little arc, and replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, you will meet soon."
Wu Qi didn't notice anything wrong. He smiled and continued talking about childhood:
"Do you remember that math test? I was sitting behind you, copying the multiple-choice questions from you, but at the end I realized I had missed one answer, and you had already handed in your paper, so I had no choice but to fill it in with a D. When the report card showed up, I became the laughing stock of the whole class, because there was no D in the multiple-choice questions.
My dad eventually found out about that and gave me a beating. That was when I started learning.”
"I don't remember any of this. I just remember that you guys always scared Xiao Feng and made fun of him."
"Xiao Feng?"
The smile on Wu Qi's face froze for a moment, and after a while he replied:
"Yes, we always made fun of him back then , but he was really timid, otherwise he wouldn't have been scared to death. Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about something happier."
In his heart, he really wanted to ask about the child yesterday, but he was afraid that Cheng Wushuang would suddenly turn hostile again, so he took the words back. At this time, the food he ordered earlier was also served, but...
"Don't leave yet!"
"Do you have any other instructions, sir?"
"Can't you see? You only gave me one set of tableware, and you want me to drink from the plate!"
The waiter who came this time was not the same as the previous one. He was younger than the previous one, so his tone was a little more aggressive:
"You're dining alone, so of course I have to give you one set of tableware. If you're superhuman, I can give you two sets !"
Wu Qi was already a little angry, and after hearing what the waiter said, he couldn't hold it in any longer:
"Stop talking to me and call your manager!"
"I'll call you if you ask me to, who do you think you are?"
Hearing their quarrel, the people who were dining around them looked over, which made Wu Qi feel very embarrassed, especially in front of Cheng Wushuang. He really lost face.
Just as Wu Qi was about to go downstairs to find the manager to resolve the matter, his cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and found that it was his colleague Zhang Chuan calling.
