Chapter 609 Zhang Pan’s Brother is Coming

At around ten o'clock, security captain Yan Hu personally delivered two train tickets to Su Mingzhe.

"Old Yan, don't leave yet."

Su Mingzhe stopped Yan Hu who was about to leave, wrote down an address, then pointed to a bag of gift boxes on the table at the door and said:

"Please help me run an errand and deliver this thing to this address."

"Boss, I'll go right away."

Yan Hu was happy to run errands for his boss. He took the address and gift box and quickly delivered them to the destination.

The homeowner asked who sent the gift, and Yan Hu gave the name of his boss.

"Yeah, I get it. Good job, young man."

The landlord put away the gift and invited Yan Hu to come in and sit down for a cup of tea. Yan Hu quickly waved his hand and left.

After a while, Su Mingzhe received a call from the landlord:
"Hello, Aunt Qiao, it's me, Mingzhe. I wish you and Uncle Man a happy wedding, and a long and happy marriage."

"Okay, Auntie knows you're thoughtful. During the National Day, Uncle Niman and I will set up a few tables of banquets at the Century Restaurant next to our old compound. Remember to come, kid."

Aunt Qiao, Qiao Min, is Long Xia’s mother.

She was quite happy that Su Mingzhe gave her a wedding gift.

"Aunt, I'm afraid I can't go to this wedding. I'm afraid Long Xia will chase me and beat me."

Su Mingzhe chuckled.

Long Xia's mother and Manyi's father had long been in love with each other, secretly communicating with each other, and had an affair.

This is a common knowledge in the compound.

Even Manyi and Long Xia have long called each other brother and sister.

However, some things are known, but no one will say anything until they reach that point.

In the morning, when Su Mingzhe was talking on the phone with his childhood friend Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng suddenly mentioned that the old couple had obtained their marriage certificate just last week.

The two also found a group of old friends and prepared to set up several banquets during the National Day.

This kind of "sunset love" is particularly sensational in the circle of friends.

When Su Mingzhe heard the news, he was also hesitating whether to go over and join in the fun.

As a result, after work, he called his childhood friends in the compound and found out that everyone had been warned by Long Xia not to attend the banquet.

According to custom, adults play with adults and children play with children.

Long Xia didn't allow his childhood friend to attend his mother's wedding banquet, so it was naturally difficult for everyone to attend.

However, Su Mingzhe thought about it and decided to send a gift to express his gratitude.

No matter what, the old couple have helped me a lot.

After hanging up the phone with Aunt Qiao, Su Mingzhe thought about it and called Man Shiren again.

These are also words of blessing.

Man Shiren was quite happy and joked with Su Mingzhe:
"Your Aunt Qiao and I have lived together till old age. Do we still need your blessing?"

"That's right, that's right. When my uncle Long was still alive, you two did that. Everyone knows it."

As soon as Su Mingzhe said this, he thought Man Shiren would be angry, but he didn't expect that the old man would laugh triumphantly:
"Kid, do you know? The happiest thing in your uncle Man's life is that your Aunt Qiao agreed to follow me..."

Su Mingzhe listened with great interest as he heard an old man recount how he was treated by women in the past.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes. Man Shiren was so happy that he smiled and said:
"Mingzhe, if you have time, come to my place, and we'll have a couple of drinks. I'll tell you about my glorious deeds in the past."

"Okay, Uncle Man, I'll come to see you when I'm free. But I can't go during the National Day..."

Su Mingzhe and Man Shiren made an appointment to drink together, but then politely declined to attend the wedding.

Man Shiren also expressed his understanding.

Then the two of them hung up the phone.

Originally, Su Mingzhe wanted to call Long Xia to congratulate him.

But on second thought, talking about this kind of thing on the phone is not as exciting as saying it face to face.

It's noon in a blink of an eye.

Su Mingzhe arrived at the entrance of Baiqiang Property and saw Long Xia, who had a look of despair on his face.

"Hey, lobster, get in the car."

"Brother, you came to see me, don't come here to be a lobbyist, right?"

Long Xia muttered something to himself and got into the car, letting Su Mingzhe take him to a Shandong restaurant.

The two of them asked for a private room and ordered some food and drinks.

Su Mingzhe did not talk about Aunt Qiao and Man Shiren getting their marriage certificate and holding a wedding banquet, but just asked Long Xia:

"I heard that you have moved to Guo Yan's place now?"

"Yeah, if I don't move out, how can Uncle Man have the nerve to move in?"

When Long Xia talked about his own mother getting married and living with another man, although he had already accepted it in his heart, he still expressed some resentment.

Seeing that he took the initiative to talk about this, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but persuade him to think more positively:
"The affair between Uncle Man and Aunt Qiao started when you and Manyi were in junior high school and high school. The old couple was worried that you and Manyi would not agree, so they kept delaying the marriage certificate. Now that your father is gone, it is normal for them to get a marriage certificate."

"The problem is, my dad just died, and they got married and even had a banquet to celebrate. What does this mean?"

The more Long Xia talked about this, the more upset he felt. With each glass of beer he drank, all of his anger turned into rage.

Seeing this, Su Mingzhe found an excuse to go out and called Manyi first, asking her to help Long Xia ask for leave. After hanging up Manyi's call, he called Tang Shiyi and asked her to come over to accompany him.

If Long Xia gets drunk later, she can take him away.

Tang Shiyi has said it many times that Long Xia is just a fool.

The two had been in love for several years. When Long Xia and Tang Shiyi were on a date, they would hug each other and would hesitate for a long time before kissing.

After Long Xia gets drunk today, maybe there will be a breakthrough in the relationship between Tang Shiyi and him.

After a while, Tang Shiyi and Manyi came.

Long Xia was not drunk yet, and he felt even more upset when he saw Manyi and his girlfriend coming:
"Brother, why did you call them both over?"

"I have work to do this afternoon, so I can't drink with you. Isn't this just finding two companions for you?"

Su Mingzhe's original intention was to tease, but who would have thought that this girl was so stubborn that she actually took the teasing seriously.

The four then continued to eat and drink.

Have a drink with Long Xia, and if you are satisfied, have a drink with him.

After a while, Long Xia, who was not drunk yet, Manyi crawled under the table.

Su Mingzhe was sitting next to her. He quickly reached out and pulled her out, then put her on the sofa next to him.

Tang Shiyi explained embarrassedly:
"Brother Su, I am satisfied with this girl. She is still worried about the sea swimming incident."

"This is also my fault. I should have shot that grandson to death earlier."

Su Mingzhe felt a little depressed about being cheated.

In the TV series, Manyi was cheated of money and sex and started living with You Dahai's grandson.

Not long after she finally separated from You Dahai, Manyi fell in love with Long Xia’s colleague Liu Tianyu.

Now with Su Mingzhe's involvement, Manyi and You Dahai can be considered to be "separated as a couple".

This also leads to the fact that although I am satisfied for a while, I cannot get over the sadness.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Su Mingzhe's mind: Should I help Manyi and Liu Tianyu get to know each other in advance?

Well, the current Liu Tianyu seems a little unworthy of the current satisfaction.

Manyi's father, Man Shiren, owns a store in Yanjing and earns about four or five hundred thousand yuan a year.

The satisfactory conditions may be a little worse, but they are much better than those of Liu Tianyu, a young man from another place who can hardly keep his job.

In the eyes of ordinary people in Yanjing, when introducing blind dates to others, they also pay attention to the fact that the two families are of equal social status.

I introduced a spirited young man like Liu Tianyu to Manyi, but I'm afraid that in Man Shiren's eyes, I'm insulting the Man family.

By then, I'm afraid the two families will become enemies.

Forget it.

As for this girl's affairs, it's better for me to stay out of it for the time being.

After thinking it through, Su Mingzhe put the matter aside for the time being.

After a while, Long Xia also got drunk.

Su Mingzhe sent Long Xia and Manyi to his car twice.

Afterwards, Tang Shiyi drove the car, Su Mingzhe sat in the passenger seat, and first took Long Xia to Tang Shiyi's residence.

Su Mingzhe asked Tang Shiyi to take care of Long Xia, and he called a designated driver to take himself and Manyi to the large flat community on the Third Ring Road.

Carrying Long Xia from the underground garage to the room, the little nanny Zhang Pan was also shocked to see Su Mingzhe coming back holding a woman.

Su Mingzhe was also afraid that Zhang Pan would have wild thoughts, so he explained to her:

"This is my friend's sister. She's drunk and I can't send her home, so I'm letting her sober up here. Go make her a bowl of sobering soup and give it to her later."

After listening to Su Mingzhe's explanation, Zhang Pan didn't know whether to believe it or not, but she obediently went into the kitchen to cook soup.

About half an hour later, Zhang Pan brought out the hangover soup.

When it comes to hangover soup, it usually refers to hot and sour soup.

Su Mingzhe helped Manyi sit up, woke her up, and fed her half a bowl of hot and sour soup. Seeing that she couldn't even open her eyes, he had to put her back to bed.

"Pan Pan, you just watch here, I have to go back to the company."

Seeing the man was about to leave, Zhang Pan quickly came over, looked at him with a troubled look, and said:

"Sir, I have something I would like to ask you for help."

Seeing Zhang Pan's expression, Su Mingzhe had already guessed what he wanted him to do for a favor, but he said:

"What's the matter? Tell me first."

Zhang Pan spoke cautiously:

"Sir, my brother doesn't plan to go to school anymore and wants to come to Yanjing to work. Can you help arrange a job for him?"

"Well, your brother didn't even graduate from high school, right?"

Su Mingzhe knew Zhang Pan’s younger brother, a rural youth with no ability but a bad temper.

In the movie, it was this spirited young man who killed the bastard boss in order to protect his sister Zhang Pan.

Thinking of the young man's bravery, Su Mingzhe smiled:
"Pan Pan, your brother has no education, so I can only arrange a job for him in the factory."
