  The lunch gathering was held at the canteen of Factory 3113, although it's called a canteen, but the decoration and chef level are not inferior to those five-star hotels in Rongcheng.

  Xue Yun and Quan Tingming, who were quite good at drinking, ended up under the table without any surprise after Yang Jie's repeated toasts.

  Gong Lao did not expect that Yang Jie's capacity for wine would be so good. Previously, seeing Yang Jie repeatedly offering toasts, he had thought of advising him, but now seeing Yang Jie drinking large mouthfuls of wine without even a hint of redness on his face, with clear thoughts and fluent speech, without the slightest sign of intoxication, added to his own high spirits today, he let Yang Jie be.

  Pang Zheng knew that Yang Jie could drink, but he didn't expect that after getting Xue Yun and Quan Tingming drunk, even the director of the 3113 factory's administrative office and a deputy general manager were also gotten drunk by Yang Jie and started talking nonsense at the dinner table.

  Watching Yang Jie drink with relish and grandeur, speaking and responding appropriately, deeply understanding the culture of the wine table, he accompanied Xue Zong and others to extreme happiness. The crowd even called Yang Jie brothers on the wine table, and even Pang Zheng, who was born into an official family, couldn't help but admire Yang Jie extremely for his social skills and astonishing drinking capacity, having a direct and profound impression of him.

  Xue Yun and Quan Tingming, the leaders of Factory 3113, were all drunk by Yang Jie. Pang Zheng originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and sign a contract with Factory 3113 in the afternoon, but that plan also fell through.

  Fortunately, at the dinner table, Xue Yun made a statement in front of everyone again, and the contract with Fufeng Company was fine, which finally put his mind at ease.

  Mr. Gong came to the 3113 factory to discuss with Mr. Xue and others about setting up a research center, but things were not fully settled, so he naturally wouldn't leave, besides it was just in time for the weekend, and he could also come to Zhutang City to relax and see old friends.

  After dinner, Mr. Gong told Yang Jie his contact information and asked him to prepare various documents on Monday, then go to the College of Mechanical Engineering to contact him, so that he could complete the admission procedures for graduate school, after which he went to the city to visit old friends.

  "Boss Peng, are we staying at the 3113 factory to wait for Mr. Xue and the others to wake up and sign the contract, or are we going back to Chengdu?" Yang Jie and Peng Zheng stood in front of the main building of the 3113 factory, watching Gong Lao's special car leave before turning their heads to look at Peng Zheng with a pleased expression.

  Everyone is drunk, who knows when they will wake up. Besides, today is Saturday, I guess even if they wake up, this contract can only be signed on Monday when we officially go to work. Let's head back to Chengdu first! Today I must thank you properly!" Pang Zheng said with gratitude, patted Yang Jie's shoulder and walked towards his Audi car together with Yang Jie.

  When they returned to Chengdu, it was already past 4 pm. Pang Zheng stopped the car by the roadside and took out a beeper from his bag to page Yang Jie. Before long, the phone rang back.

  "Mei Zi, where are you guys now? We've finished our business."

  "Zheng Ge, we're resting at the coffee shop next to Oriental Plaza. We've been walking all day and are exhausted. Come to Oriental Plaza! I'm waiting for you with Fei Fei Jie on the second floor of the coffee shop." Mei Zi's phone call was made from the coffee shop, and elegant music could still be heard in the background. After agreeing, Qin Mei hung up the phone.

  From the first floor back to the second floor, Qin Mei saw that a young man in a suit was sitting in her original seat, chatting up Liu Fei, and she was suddenly annoyed.

  With big strides, she walked over and stood with her hands on her hips by the table, staring sideways at the man sitting in her seat, who looked fairly decent. "Hey kid, you're sitting in my spot!"

  "Miss, sorry about that!" Li Yiping's face didn't show a hint of embarrassment as he stood up elegantly and made a gentlemanly gesture for Qin Mei to take a seat.

  "Putting on airs!" Qin Mei saw the situation and casually threw out a sentence, glancing at Li Yiping who still didn't want to leave her side. She coldly and sarcastically said: "What are you lingering around here for like a beggar? We all have our own masters now, can't you see that standing here is very embarrassing?"

  Liu Fei did not expect that Qin Mei, who usually looked gentle and kind, would have such an overbearing and domineering side.

  Looking at Li Yiping in front of her, her face was a bit unbearable, revealing a hint of shyness and anger, smiling at Qin Mei: "Don't mind him, are they done with their business?"

  "Ah! I'm on my way here! If you don't come, I'm afraid some toads will really want to eat swan meat. How dare you, not even checking yourself in the mirror before going out!"

  Qin Mei was a military school student, apart from taking cultural courses, she also had to undergo military training. Normally, when she got together with her classmates, she was a straightforward person who didn't mince words. Now that she was dealing with a stranger who wanted to hit on Liu Fei, her words were even more merciless.

  "Little girl, what's wrong with your speech?"

  Li Yiping, no matter how good his temperament was, couldn't help but lose his temper after hearing Qin Mei's words. What's more, he didn't have a good temperament to begin with. He only pretended to be a gentleman in front of Liu Fei, but Qin Mei took advantage of him and made him lose face instantly.

  "What? You want to hit someone?" Qin Mei saw Li Yiping get angry beside her, rolled her eyes and looked at him with a provocative expression.

  "Sir, miss, is there anything we can help you with?" The two waiters from the coffee shop hurried over from the service counter when they saw a dispute breaking out here.

  "This man came over to harass us for no reason, and you're telling me that this high-end coffee shop in Chengdu can't even stop something like this from happening?" Qin Mei's expression suddenly changed when she saw the waiter approaching, and her earlier arrogant demeanor disappeared.

  "Sir, please return to your seat and do not disturb other customers, thank you!" A waiter heard Qin Mei say this, took a look at Liu Fei sitting across from Qin Mei, saw that Liu Fei was born with a charming and beautiful appearance, a perfect beauty in both looks and temperament, and made a judgment in his heart.

  Li Yiping's face turned pale as he stared at the waiter in front of him, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. However, at this moment, all the customers on the second floor of the coffee shop were paying attention to him, and the two waiters in front of him intentionally or unintentionally blocked his way, not letting him get close to Qin Mei and Liu Fei. Looking at Qin Mei's smug face, Li Yiping took a deep breath and turned around, walking towards the staircase.

  When Li Yiping left, the waiter apologized to Qin Mei and Liu Fei before leaving their table. "Meizi, you were quite fierce just now! However, when that person was leaving, your gaze seemed a bit off, so be careful."

  Qin Mei looked utterly unbothered, watching Liu Fei speak loudly: "You're the one who came out with me, if you really get bullied, how can I explain it to Yang Jie? People like that are all over the place, they're just hypocritical paper tigers, one poke and they'll fall apart."

  "Huh? How did a wallet end up here?" Qin Mei stretched out her foot and felt like she had kicked something. She looked down and saw that under their table, there was actually a wallet.

  "Could it be that man from just now?"

  Liu Fei watched as Qin Mei picked up the wallet from the ground, inside the wallet there was only a bank card and some money, but no ID or any other documents that could prove the owner's identity.

  "Waiter, there's a wallet here, it might have been dropped by the previous customer. Put it on the front desk, maybe that person will come back to look for it later." Qin Mei didn't think much about it and beckoned the waiter over, handing him the wallet in her hand.

  "Alright!" The waiter took the wallet from Qin Mei's hand and went downstairs without checking what was inside.

  The soft music in the cafe was very peaceful, and it was Liu Fei's first time in such a high-end place. However, she had drunk coffee before, so in front of Qin Mei, she didn't appear awkward or nervous, but instead had a calm demeanor that soon infected Qin Mei who sat across from her.

  Two women spent the whole day shopping at the mall, and their numerous shopping bags were piled up beside the table.

  Having lived for so long, Liu Fei had never experienced such a pleasant shopping experience. In the past, when she went out to buy things, she would always choose the ones with the highest cost-effectiveness, and would never hesitate or buy impulsively just because she liked something.

  Softly chatting with Qin Mei, listening to Qin Mei talk about her university life, Liu Fei imagined what the scene would be like if she also went to school, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

  Qin Mei heard that Liu Fei wanted to learn how to drive, and smiled, saying that this matter could be referred to Pang Zheng, as Pang Zheng had a friend who ran a driving school, and she could go there for free.

  Two people were chatting, when several police officers in uniform from the neighborhood police station walked up from downstairs. The leading officer went straight to Qin Mei and Liu Fei's table, looked at them with a serious face and asked in a gloomy tone: "Was it you two who just picked up a wallet?"

  Qin Mei saw that the tone of the police officer's speech was not very good, frowned, looked at him, and replied coldly: "Yes, the wallet has been handed over to the service staff. What? Now picking up lost items is also against the law?"

  "Picking up gold doesn't break the law, but stealing cash and checks from a wallet is against the law! The owner reported that a 100,000 yuan check was stolen from the wallet. Since you picked it up, come with us to the police station for investigation!" Huang Wei said as he tried to pull Qin Mei up, but then heard a domineering and menacing threat from behind, "You dare touch her, I'll make sure you lose your job today."

  While talking, Pang Zheng and Yang Jie separated the several police officers blocking the road and walked to Qin Mei and Liu Fei. Looking at the leading police officer, "Which police station are you from? Who reported the case?"

  Pang Zheng was like a ferocious beast whose territory had been invaded by outsiders, and his eyes shot out a sharp glare as he spoke, exuding an aura that brooked no intrusion, which even moved Yang Jie and Liu Fei.

  If it can be said that Pong Zheng had always been showing a harmless and kind big brother image before, then now he is like a seasoned iron-blooded warrior with his sharp edges exposed, with an increasingly majestic momentum sweeping across the land, standing tall and unyielding in front of Huang Wei and others, not putting the few civilian police officers in front of him in his eyes at all.
