“Nice to see you here.” Chen Fan cracked a smile.

This was the second time he had met one of his cla.s.smates at the bar. Since the bar was very close to high school, Chen Fan expected to see his schoolmates from time to time.

“Yeah.” Jiang Tanqiu said as his eyes flickered up.

He was unaware of what had happened at the auction, and neither had he gotten the memo on Chen Fan’s job at the bar.

Therefore, when he found out that his desk mate was working at the bar, he was quite shocked. He had always known Chen Fan as a proud although reserved popular kid and never had he thought that Chen Fan worked at a bar.

“Xiao Qiu, is this your friend?” A girl stood up from her chair and asked.

“Yes, Sister Qian-Qian. he is my deskmate, and his name is Chen Fan.” Jiang Tanqiu spoke under his breath; clearly, he was embarra.s.sed by Chen Fan’s low wage job.

It wasn’t until then that Chen Fan realized that there was a boy and a girl sitting right next to Jiang Taniu. They both looked to be in their twenties. The male was tall and handsome while the girl was of above average looks.

Chen Fan’s eyes glinted surrept.i.tiously the moment he saw the girl.

“Hi, I am Xiao Qiu’s neighbor; my name is Xiao Qian.” The girl reached a hand out to Chan Fan as she spoke.

Chen Fan ignored her and turned around to Jiang Taniu and said: “You guys have fun, I need to work.”

After he said that, he turned on his heels and started back without even glancing at Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian pulled a taut face as displeasure surfaced on her face.

Jiang Tanqiu felt even more embarra.s.sed, and he stammered, “Sister Qian-Qian, don’t mind him. He is always like that.”

“Just forget about him, Qian-Qian. Come sit right here,” the man said with a warm smile.

Hearing the other man’s words, Xiao Qian finally gathered herself and sat down reluctantly.

The man then gave Jiang Taniu a look and then spoke in a patient voice, “Xiao Qiu, I know this is our first time meeting each other, and I really shouldn’t poke my nose into your business.

“However, as your senior, I felt the need to remind you of what makes a good friend. Your friend, for example, his job aside—after all, being independent is a good thing— his action was extremely rude and inappropriate. Have you asked yourself if such a person could be trusted as your friend?”

“Touche! Xiao Qi, you need to heed the words of your senior!” Xiao Qian chimed in.

Jiang Tanqiu felt indignant; however, he lacked the words to protest for himself, so he could only smile and nod his head.

Deep down, he blamed Chen Fan for this unpleasant experience. He had always treated Chen Fan like one of his best friends, but Chen Fan didn’t seem to appreciate his good gesture. Otherwise, he wouldn’t embarra.s.s him in front of the girl he liked and his rival in love. The least a friend could do was to help each other, but Chen Fan had been a hindrance rather than a help so far.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Taniu, Chen Fan had recognized the girl at first sight.

She was Xiao Qian, the daughter of Jiang Tanqiu’s neighbor. She was one year older than Jiang Taniu and studied at the Chu Zhou University. Jiang Taniu had been her secret admirer ever since Jiang Taniu was a boy.

In Chen Fan’s past life, Jiang Tanqiu had got himself into trouble because of her. In the end, Jiang Taniu was thrown behind the bar for seven years and therefore ruined his otherwise promising life. Xiao Qian, on the other hand, had a new boyfriend as soon as Jiang Tanqiu went to jail. She didn’t visit Jiang Tanqiu even once during the seven years of incarceration.

Why would Chen Fan be nice to such a shameless woman?

“Hey, your friend seemed to be in some kind of trouble.” Jiang Tanqiu heard Senior Qi say.

They both looked over their shoulders and saw Chen Fan was arguing with a man with a pasty complexion.

“I know that guy; he is the manager of the bar, we call him Boss Yang. I have heard that he is an inlaw of Brother Dong; not someone you want to mess around.” Senior Qi shook his head and said, “It’s not looking too good for your friend.”

“Who cares? I hope he got his a.s.s kicked. Let’s drink up; don’t let him spoil our fun.” Xiao Qian said indignantly.

Hearing Xiao Qian’s words, Jiang Taniu hesitated for a second and then sat down reluctantly.

If not for the previous unpleasant run-in between Chen Fan and Xiao Qian, Jiang Tanqiu would have already joined Chen Fan. However, Jiang Tanqiu was unimpressed by Chen Fan’s uncouth behavior that embarra.s.sed him at the most inconvenient time.

“Senior Qi, who is Brother Dong?” Xiao Qian asked curiously.

Senior Qi cracked a smile and said, “Brother Dong is the one calling the shots in the University district. He had a share in almost all the venues around here. ”

“Oh? So the Boss Yang is also quite a champ, I take it?”

Jiang Tanqiu’s pulled a taut face as he heard that. Driving by the urge to save his friend, his body jerked forward slightly, but he didn’t get up in the end.

Xiao Qian put in again, “However resourceful this Brother Dong was, he was just an underling compare to our Senior Qi.

“Ah Xiao Qiu, I haven’t told you about Senior Qi yet have I? Senior Qi’s father is a business magnate at the Yun Shan District. I bet that if Brother Dong saw Senior Qi, he might have to drop his knees and kowtow to him.” Xiao Qian introduced Senior Qi to Jiang Tanqiu with a smug smile.

Jiang Tanqiu managed a smile back.
