Chapter Seven, Lao Qi's Banquet

Get lost, who else could do something like this but you! Is there anything? If not, I might as well hang up!" I said impatiently

"When did you see me getting him drunk? It's always him who drinks me under the table!" I thought to myself, this really is a family supporting a family, you two aren't even married yet, and you're already siding with your man like this

Then, Xiao Shuang left. Watching her figure fade away, I silently wished her a happy and joyful life in the future

Oh! Hello, hello! It just occurred to me, and I hurriedly extended my hand to shake hands with Wang Nan.

Then he pointed to Xiao Feng and said, "This is my girlfriend Xiao Feng, whom you have all met!"

Stop drinking, you always drink too much, it's so annoying! Senior, please don't get my little brother drunk!

This is not good; today's game is a veritable banquet at Hongmen

As a student, what money do you have? You can keep it; just think about referring people to us for treatment in the future

After the treatment, she felt much better and hesitantly asked how much she needed to pay. In a moment of great generosity, I replied:

"Get lost, you brat, I don't have time to waste with you! What is it?" I retorted to him. Among our group of friends, I have the best relationship with the seventh brother. We are used to teasing and cursing at each other, and if someone who doesn't know the situation were to see us, they might think we were about to fight.

Just when I was filled with resentment, my phone suddenly rang. To my surprise, it was a call from Lao Qi. This person really is hard to ignore! Could it be that he has some special ability to know that I was thinking about him?

"What the hell, I called you, and you say 'hello' like that!" The coarse voice of Lao Qi came through the phone

After finishing a cigarette, Xiao Feng called for me, and I returned to the consultation room. After all, Xiao Shuang still showed some early signs of delusional disorder, so I conducted a session of psychological relaxation therapy for her

This is my colleague, Dr. Wang Nan!" He pointed to the beautiful woman sitting next to him. Then he pointed to me, smiling broadly, and said to Dr. Wang, "This is my good buddy, Gao Xin, whom I mentioned to you!

I explained the situation to Xiao Feng, and after listening, she once again wore a face of reluctance

Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you! Dr. Wang Nan is poised and graceful, standing up and extending her hand to shake mine. I was momentarily taken aback and paused for a moment.

"Senior, why are you pretending to be so generous? Are you being considerate of the fairer sex?" After Xiao Shuang left, Xiao Feng shouted at me with a reluctant expression.

Hello? I answered the phone, deliberately adopting a very formal tone

Hello, you are here! Come, come, let me introduce you! Old Seven saw me come in and quickly stood up with a smile, eagerly making the introductions

However, upon reconsideration, cough, given the current situation at the clinic, no one has come even though it is open until 8 o'clock. Let's close early today and enjoy a couple of drinks with Lao Qi in the evening

Haha, I couldn't help it for a moment... I said with a silly smile while touching the back of my head

What is this situation? What does Lao Qi mean by this? After pondering for a long time, I suddenly understood

Afterwards, we tidied up briefly, locked the main door, and set off by car. After nearly an hour of bumpy travel, we finally arrived at the restaurant

The so-called old place is a restaurant named "Hao Zai Lai" that we have frequented since our university days. This restaurant is not large, just of medium size, but it offers distinctive dishes with quite good flavors. Coupled with generous portions, it enjoys a thriving business. The owner of the restaurant is surnamed Hao, and he is warm and easygoing. For regular customers like us, he always provides a very warm reception and even offers extra side dishes.

To my surprise, when I walked into the private room, I was taken aback. It turned out that Lao Qi did not come alone; he had brought a woman with him. The woman appeared dignified and beautiful, indeed a pretty sight! At that moment, the two of them were engaged in a lively conversation.

As it was not yet 5 o'clock, the restaurant had not yet received any guests, with only a few scattered tables occupied, making it rather quiet. I looked around but did not see Lao Qi. I thought to myself, this fellow urgently told me to arrive by 5 o'clock; surely he wouldn't be late himself!

Lao Qi has a good tolerance for alcohol and enjoys drinking a few sips regularly. However, he has poor drinking etiquette; when he drinks too much, he tends to talk nonsense and also likes to pressure others into drinking. Nevertheless, his eloquence is quite impressive. Sometimes, after having a few drinks, listening to him ramble on about various topics can be quite enjoyable and relaxing

After a while, I looked at the clock; it was almost 4 o'clock. It would be better to close up now. The restaurant is quite far from my clinic, and taking a taxi would cost quite a bit. Given my current financial situation, I should save some money. I might as well leave early and take the bus.

"With your shabby clinic, you still don't have time? How did your profits suddenly improve?" Lao Qi said on the other end of the phone, mocking and ridiculing.

Alright, from now on I will help you with your work. Besides, I have a fondness for you; wouldn't your boyfriend get jealous?

Old Seven, the old cow, has taken a young girl as his girlfriend, while I remain single; he has already entered the hospital and secured a stable job, while I am still managing a clinic with poor performance, truly, comparing people can be infuriating!

Wang Nan, however, did not seem to mind; she smiled slightly and took a seat. Yet, I observed that there appeared to be a hint of shyness on her face

Xiao Feng's boyfriend is my buddy, and among the guys in the dormitory, he ranks seventh, so everyone calls him Lao Qi. He is now working in a hospital as a proper psychiatrist. Knowing that my clinic needs some inexpensive labor, he introduced his girlfriend Xiao Feng to me.

"There is something! There is something! Tonight at 5 o'clock, at the usual place, bring Xiao Feng along too." After saying this, this person hung up, with a tone that left no room for my objections, as if the emperor were issuing a decree!

Xiao Feng was anxiously stamping her feet beside the books, but at that moment, she said nothing

Hey, that's impressive, buddy. You wouldn't be taking advantage of the treatment to get a little something on the side, would you! Old Seven is someone who rarely speaks seriously

Xiao Feng greeted the beautiful woman enthusiastically: "Hi, Sister Wang! We meet again!"

It is 5 o'clock! I have not closed the door yet, and he hasn't even considered it! I said to myself in indignation

Hey? What are you thinking, kid? The lady is shaking hands with you!" Old Seven quickly reminded me.

"Hmph, you speak more sweetly than you sing!" She turned and walked away

At this moment, I feel a bit dizzy. It turns out that they all know each other, and I am the only stranger here

Just as I was thinking, Boss Hao approached and told me that Lao Qi was waiting for us in the private room. I thought to myself, this guy is getting more and more extravagant. Back when I was a poor student, I never went to a private room for a meal. Now, he is acting all high and mighty, insisting that three of us sit in a private room!

Why don't you show me some compassion? You make me do this and that all day long, cleaning and tidying up the room, all of it is my responsibility, and I haven't seen you help me even once

"That was it, I just sent off a patient, and she was quite a beauty!" I replied stubbornly.
