Seeing Cheng Nian'er leaving, Xiao Hua also stood up.
"I'm almost done. By the way, I'll give you another bottle of high-end spiritual wine. This wine is effective for people below the Nascent Soul stage. You can only drink one sip at a time, otherwise the effect will be too strong and you won't be able to bear it."
After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he took out a bottle of high-strength spirit wine from his storage bracelet and handed it to Huang Ming.
"High-end spiritual wine?".
Huang Ming opened the bottle cap and smelled it.
"Wow, it is indeed strong enough. It seems to be a good thing. Okay, thank you very much."
After that, Xiao Hua left, and Huang Ming also went down to the first floor and started working with Yang Xukuan.
After the peak passenger flow passed, Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan went to the private room on the second floor to greet Cheng Nianer's customers with a few simple words and gave them a few side dishes. After that, they left the private room and returned to the office.
Back in the office, Yang Xukuan asked.
"Lao Ming, what's going on with Liang Dan? Why do I feel like he's been missing for several years? I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to ask, why did he come to see you?"
"Oh, he said that he went to work on a big project in another place, but after working hard for three years, his boss ran away. Now he is so poor that he can hardly afford to eat. He came to me to borrow some living expenses. He said he would go back in a few days to continue. Want wages."
This Huang Ming is really damaging. While making excuses for Xiao Hua to cover up, he also didn't forget to hurt him.
"Is there such a thing? That's true. It's hard to do projects now because it's hard to collect money. But fortunately, if you can escape, the monk can't escape from the temple. As long as you can still find people, it's only a matter of time to collect money."
Yang Xukuan had no doubts about Huang Ming's words and nodded.
"Well, you're right, but we can't get involved in this kind of thing, so whatever."
Huang Ming secretly enjoyed himself.
"Yes, we can't help with this kind of thing even if we want to. After all, it's hard to do anything now. The competition is becoming more and more fierce and the profits are getting lower and lower."
"If you think about it carefully, it would be better for doctors, civil servants, etc. who are working. They don't have to worry about these things."
Yang Xukuan began to sigh.
“Everyone has their own difficulties, and it’s not easy for public officials either.”
Huang Ming answered smoothly.
The two of them just sat in the office chatting without saying a word. As they chatted, Yang Xukuan talked about Cheng Nian'er's husband Guo Jun.
"By the way, I heard that Guo Jun seems to have been promoted?".
"Promoted? Xiaoya didn't say anything just now, how do you know?".
Huang Ming was a little curious.
"I heard from Lao Niu that she has a good relationship with Cheng Nian'er, so she shouldn't lie to me. Guo Jun used to be the deputy director. If he is really promoted this time, he should be the full director."
Yang Xukuan began to guess.
"Who told you? Don't listen to this kind of gossip, let alone talk about it."
As soon as Yang Xukuan finished speaking, Cheng Nianer walked in from outside the office door.
"Hey, Xiaoya, have you finished eating? Why don't you go see the customers off?"
Huang Ming asked.
"They have been sent away, and I will go back soon. I came here to inform you two that you should not arrange anything else on the weekend and have a meal together. Remember?"
Cheng Nian'er pretended to be a big sister and loudly ordered the two of them.
"Eat? Isn't your birthday not here yet? What's going on?".
Huang Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Don't you already know? Guo Jun has been promoted, and next weekend happens to be his birthday. We decided to host a banquet for all leaders and friends in the name of his birthday to express our gratitude to everyone."
"I really got promoted. It seems that Lao Niu didn't lie to me. Congratulations first."
Yang Xukuan smiled.
"Lao Niu is really a big talker. Forget it, let's not argue with her. She is Guo Jun's second wife. As the first wife, I can only wipe my neck and endure it, ha..."
Cheng Nian'er finally couldn't hold it any longer and started laughing before he finished speaking.
She, Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan are all classmates, and they have become very familiar with each other for a long time.
When they meet, they either compliment each other or attack each other, and their words are always half-truths and half-falsities, and no one is serious. People who don't know the inside story can't understand what they are saying at all.
"By the way, in addition to Guo Jun's friends and I, Guo Jun's leader and several colleagues will also be invited to the birthday party next week. Lao Mang, you have to restrain yourself and don't make a fool of yourself."
Cheng Nian'er added.
"Make a fool of yourself? What do you mean? How could I make a fool of myself?".
Yang Xukuan didn't understand.
"I'm afraid you'll drink too much and sing and dance, ha...".
Cheng Nian'er couldn't help but laugh.
"Me? Uh..., um...".
Yang Xukuan held back and looked at Huang Ming awkwardly.
"What do you think I'm doing? What? Can't you say it? Hehehehe...".
Huang Ming also laughed.
They are all bad friends. If someone does something scandalous, everyone will know about it the next day.
"Okay, okay, no more joking, I have to drink wine, but with the leader here, you guys really have to hold back. Okay, I'm leaving, call me."
Cheng Nian'er left after that.
There were no details about the chores during the period, except that the weekend was coming soon. After arranging the work at the hot pot restaurant, Huang Ming took a taxi to go to Li Jun's birthday thank you banquet.
Guo Jun's birthday thank you banquet was scheduled at a local high-end private club. When Huang Ming arrived, Yang Xukuan was already at the door. Yang Xukuan didn't drive because he wanted to drink, so they walked into the club together.
The largest private room in the club has a huge revolving dining table in the center that can accommodate twenty-four people dining at the same time.
There were already many people sitting in the lounge next to them. They were all friends of Cheng Nian'er and Guo Jun, and Lao Niu was also there.
Huang Ming and Deng Liu said hello:
"Lao Niu, you came early today. Where is Xiaoya? And Guo Jun? Why haven't you seen them?"
"They went to pick someone up. I said, you two are too rude. You didn't pick me up even though you knew I was blind. Fortunately, I called Didi, otherwise I would still be looking for the way when I drove by myself." .
Deng Liu complained.
"Hey, we are in two directions. Besides, we are going to drink today and I am not driving. Even if you really want someone to pick you up, you should ask Lao Mang. He likes to pick up beautiful women the most."
Huang Ming dragged Yang Xukuan into the water with a smile.
"Yes, if you call, I guarantee a special car to pick you up."
Yang Xukuan also answered with a smile.
"What a bullshit phone call. You knew I would definitely come today and didn't realize it at all. How could you let a beautiful woman take the initiative to speak? You two are so ignorant, huh."
Deng Liu pretended to be angry and rolled his eyes at the two of them.
"Then next time, next time we will definitely take the initiative, hehehe."
Several people laughed.
But at this moment, Huang Ming suddenly felt a weak spiritual energy wave moving towards the private room from outside.
"Huh?".
Huang Ming was stunned for a moment, how could he meet an immortal cultivator here? Could it be that Guo Jun invited him?
But Guo Jun is just a secular civil servant and not an immortal cultivator. How could he know an immortal cultivator?
Seeing that the weak spiritual power fluctuation was about to enter the private room, Huang Ming silently recited the mantra and quietly used the breath gathering technique.
The breath-containing technique cannot completely disguise the cultivator as a mortal, but it can condense the spiritual energy to the greatest extent and reduce the probability of being discovered by fellow practitioners.
However, Huang Ming was only in the early stage of foundation building, so he could only condense the spiritual energy on his body to the fifth or sixth level of the Qi refining stage, so he could only hide it from the monks below the foundation stage.
