The clown was himself
Chen Yu continued.
"I heard you say he works in the internet industry?"
"Yeah."
"Is he still doing that now?"
Wang Ting shook her head.
"He's unemployed."
Chen Yu laughed.
"He's unemployed and still in the mood to go out for hotpot? He's quite carefree."
Wang Ting pursed her lips.
She actually regretted coming out with Chen Yu.
It wasn't because of Li Wei.
It was because Chen Yu was a bit of a show-off.
After spending a month together, she had already realized this.
Chen Yu liked to show off his car, house, and income in front of her.
Although he was indeed better off than Li Wei.
But it always made people feel a bit... uncomfortable.
Chen Yu picked up his teacup.
"Oh right, I just bought a new car last week, an Audi A6. It cost over 500,000 to get it on the road."
He looked at Wang Ting.
"I'll take you for a spin another day."
Wang Ting nodded.
"Okay."
Chen Yu's voice echoed in the hotpot restaurant.
"An Audi A6, over 500,000 on the road."
He specifically raised his volume when he said that.
Zhang Lei's hand, which was holding some tripe, paused.
Li Wei didn't look up and continued to swish his food in the pot.
Seeing that Li Wei had no reaction, Chen Yu added another sentence.
"This new car is so comfortable to drive, great soundproofing, plenty of power. It really lives up to being a 500,000 car."
He looked at Wang Ting.
"I'll take you to the beach for a drive another day."
Wang Ting gave a forced smile.
"Okay."
Chen Yu leaned back in his chair, satisfied.
He swept a glance at Li Wei's table.
Two bottles of Snow beer and a pile of ordinary dishes.
Chen Yu's lips curled into a smirk.
As expected.
An unemployed person is just an unemployed person.
Even eating hotpot requires penny-pinching.
At this moment, the Waiter brought some dishes over.
Chen Yu stopped her.
"Wait, do you have Feitian Moutai?"
The Waiter was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, the Moutai in our shop is 1,999 yuan a bottle."
Chen Yu waved his hand.
"I know, bring two bottles."
The Waiter nodded and turned to leave.
Wang Ting frowned.
"Two bottles, can you finish them? And this is a hotpot restaurant, why drink such expensive liquor?"
Chen Yu laughed.
"It's just an occasional luxury. Besides, this little bit of money is nothing to me."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Wei again.
Li Wei was still eating with his head down.
Chen Yu was a bit disappointed.
He had originally wanted to see Li Wei show an expression of envy or embarrassment.
But from beginning to end, Li Wei didn't even lift an eyelid.
Zhang Lei couldn't watch it anymore.
He put down his chopsticks.
"Brother Chen, you are..."
Chen Yu interrupted him.
"What's wrong? Can't I pay for the meal?"
Zhang Lei choked on his words.
Li Wei looked up at this moment.
He looked at the Waiter.
"Check, please."
The Waiter walked over.
"Sir, your table's total is 328 yuan."
Li Wei took out his phone.
"wechat."
The Waiter took out the payment code.
Li Wei scanned the code and entered the amount.
Payment successful.
Then he opened wechat Pay again.
Entered amount: 2,000 yuan.
Note: Tip.
The Waiter's phone rang.
She took a look and was completely stunned.
"Sir, you..."
Li Wei stood up.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The Waiter bowed hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Lei was also stunned.
A bill of 300-something, and he gave a 2,000 tip?
What kind of move is this?
Chen Yu's expression changed.
Wang Ting also widened her eyes.
Li Wei picked up his jacket.
"I'm done eating, so I'll be leaving now."
Zhang Lei stood up.
"Brother Wei, in such a rush?"
Li Wei smiled.
"I have a few things to take care of."
He turned and walked out.
When he passed Chen Yu's table, he didn't stop.
Chen Yu gritted his teeth.
"Wait."
Li Wei stopped.
Chen Yu stood up.
"Li Wei, right?"
Li Wei turned around.
"Something up?"
Chen Yu walked over.
"I just ordered two bottles of Moutai, want to have a drink together?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No thanks, I'm driving so I'm not drinking."
Chen Yu laughed.
"That's a shame, this Moutai is 1,999 a bottle."
Li Wei nodded.
"That's nice, drink up."
Chen Yu continued.
"By the way, are you still looking for a job?"
Li Wei looked at him.
"Why?"
Chen Yu patted Li Wei on the shoulder.
"Our company happens to be short on staff, want me to introduce you?"
Li Wei laughed.
"No need."
Chen Yu frowned.
"Don't be shy, we're all friends."
Li Wei took a step back.
Chen Yu's hand missed.
"I said, no need."
Li Wei turned and left.
Chen Yu stood there, his face livid.
Wang Ting bit her lip.
She suddenly stood up.
"Li Wei!"
Li Wei stopped.
Wang Ting walked over quickly.
"Are you... doing okay lately?"
Li Wei looked at her.
"Doing great, a lone wolf, free and easy."
Wang Ting's eyes flickered.
"I heard you lost your job?"
Li Wei nodded.
"Yeah."
Wang Ting hesitated for a moment.
"If you need any help..."
Li Wei interrupted her.
"Not needed."
Wang Ting was stunned.
Li Wei's tone was very calm.
No ripples.
No emotion.
Wang Ting stood there, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Li Wei turned and left.
He pushed open the door of the hotpot restaurant.
The night wind blew over, bringing with it a hint of chill.
Li Wei walked to the side of the road and took out his car key.
Footsteps came from behind.
Chen Yu chased after him.
"Li Wei!"
Li Wei stopped and turned back.
Chen Yu walked over, a slightly provocative smile on his face.
"I said don't be in such a rush to leave, right?"
Li Wei didn't speak.
Chen Yu continued.
"Forget it, forget it, you don't have a car, right? Want me to give you a lift?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No need."
Chen Yu laughed.
"Don't be embarrassed, it's on the way anyway."
He pointed to a black Audi A6 on the side of the road.
"My car is right there, just bought it, cost over 500,000 on the road."
Chen Yu specifically raised his voice when he said this.
A few passersby looked over.
Chen Yu very much enjoyed this feeling of being watched.
He walked over to the Audi A6 and patted the hood.
"This car is really comfortable to drive, great soundproofing, plenty of power."
Chen Yu looked at Li Wei.
"What car do you drive? Oh, I forgot, look at my memory, you don't have a car, right!"
Li Wei didn't answer.
He pressed the car key.
Ten meters away.
The headlights of a black sedan flashed twice.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.
It was a Mercedes-Benz.
The black body shimmered with a low-key luster under the streetlights.
The car's lines were smooth, and the front face was imposing.
Chen Yu frowned.
"A Mercedes?"
"What model?"
Li Wei walked over.
Pulled open the car door.
Sat into the driver's seat.
Only then did Chen Yu see the emblem on the rear of the car.
S65 AMG.
Chen Yu froze completely.
