Chapter 32: Zhang Liang Gets Promoted
Zhang Liang blinked, checked the time, and cautiously asked, “Fang Jian, is there something wrong with the timing?”
Fang Jian slapped his forehead, realizing he was also confused, and asked. “Zhang Liang, what’s the matter?”
“I’m treating you all to a meal. Come out.”
“You’re treating us?”
“Yes, besides you, there’s also Chen Tao, Yu Lan, and Liu Xuyang. Come over quickly. I’ll send you the address right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Jian smirked. This guy suddenly treats everyone. There must be… something to discuss.
Chen Tao and Liu Xuyang were also his high school classmates, and their relationship was still good.
But Yu Lan…
Fang Jian remembered clearly that although she was also a classmate, she wasn’t in their class. In high school, she was the campus belle in the adjacent class. During those years, countless people admired her silently, but no one had ever heard about her being in a relationship with someone.
So, could it be that Zhang Liang invited her here to make an official announcement?
Fang Jian forced a bitter smile, readily picked up the glass, and finished it in one gulp.
Luckily, it was beer!
“Hey, brothers, it’s not that I forgot about you, but..,” Fang Jian shook his head and said, “It’s hard to explain in a few words.”
Chen Tao’s expression darkened. He said, “Lao Fang, if something is happening, just say it. We’re here as your brothers and won’t let anyone bully you.”
Liu Xuyang also nodded vigorously.
They might not have much influence, but they were all locals. No matter what happened, they could at least lend a hand.
Fang Jian glanced at him deeply and said, “Forget it. You won’t be able to help with this.”
“Tsk, you’re underestimating us,” Chen Tao complained.
On the side, Zhang Liang laughed and said, “All right, alright, Chen Tao, in the future, if you want to make plans with him, remember to do it for lunch, not dinner. Also, don’t make plans for Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. Generally speaking, you can still make plans with him.”
Chen Tao and Liu Xuyang were both stunned. What was the reason for this?
Suddenly, Yu Lan burst into laughter. The campus belle was the campus belle, even though she wasn’t in their class. But when she smiled, she was beautiful.
“Fang Jian, congratulations! When did you get married? Are you a father now? When will you bring your wife and child out for us to see?”
Chen Tao and Liu Xuyang suddenly realized what was going on. Damn it, this was the life of a new dad!
Fang Jian smirked and said, “I’m raising a child, a five-year-old little milk monster, but it’s not convenient to bring them out.”
“Five years old?” Chen Tao widened his eyes, looking at Fang Jian in disbelief.
Liu Xuyang and Yu Lan’s expressions also flickered uncertainly. Fang Jian turned to look, and Zhang Liang was already laughing uncontrollably. Although they were classmates, their relationship wasn’t as close as Zhang Liang’s with Fang Jian, so it was normal for them not to know the details.
He cleared his throat lightly and said, “In response to the country’s call, my parents had a child, a younger sister for me, five years ago. Now the little one clings to me all day. It’s annoying.”
Chen Tao hesitated for a moment and said, “Fang Jian, with such a big age difference, is it appropriate?”
Fang Jian put away his smile, glared at him, and said, “Of course it’s appropriate.”
Chen Tao immediately closed his mouth and didn’t mention it again. If there was a significant age difference between two siblings, their relationship would often be shallow, and there would be hidden risks of property disputes.
But for the present Fang Jian…
All of this was not a problem.
Yu Lan immediately changed the topic and said, “Let’s not talk about that. We came here today to celebrate Zhang Liang’s promotion. We have to toast him properly later.”
Fang Jian was surprised and asked, “Zhang Liang, you got promoted?”
“Yes, I completed two important tasks in the past two months and got promoted.” Zhang Liang nodded slightly toward Fang Jian.
Fang Jian immediately understood.
Everyone rejoiced immediately. After three rounds of drinks, Yu Lan put down her glass and leaned close to Zhang Liang, whispering a few words in his ear.
Fang Jian immediately shifted his gaze. Damn, were they publicly displaying affection right in front of him?
However, Zhang Liang immediately shook his head, and Yu Lan pouted, playfully coaxing him for a moment, but Zhang Liang remained tight-lipped.
Fang Jian looked at the other two, and they both seemed unfazed. He became even more astonished. Had they been together for a long time and he just didn’t know?
But Zhang Liang had never mentioned it.
Humph, not much of a friend.
