After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1056 - 559: Three Men, One Show

Chen Feng, back in Xiu Zhou, started feeling idle again.

After being cooped up at home for two days, Zhang Kewei, whom he hadn't seen in a while, suddenly contacted him, inviting him out for skewers and beer. Without much hesitation, Chen Feng agreed, and also called Qin Zhen along.

After all, Zhang Kewei and Qin Zhen were in the same year in university. Qin Zhen had studied for two years there before joining the army. Although he wasn't very familiar with Zhang Kewei, due to his good relationship with Chen Feng at that time, he got to know Zhang Kewei, who also had a decent relationship with Chen Feng.

At seven in the evening, at a big food stall that Chen Feng and Qin Zhen had visited a few times before, the three men sat around a plastic round table, chugging beer while enjoying the skewers, a sense of comfort in the air.

"Didn't expect you'd end up in the system and even become a leader. Here's to you, Leader, a toast! No, a bottle! I'll finish mine as a sign of respect, drink at your leisure."

Upon learning about Qin Zhen's work position, Zhang Kewei immediately showed respect. Not to the point of flattery, but there was a visible hint of admiration.

This is human nature, unavoidable. Nevertheless, Zhang Kewei is quite sensible, never annoying.

Zhang Kewei had just downed a bottle, had munched through a skewer of lamb, and immediately went for the second bottle. Even Chen Feng was impressed.

As soon as he put down the bottle with a burp, both Chen Feng and Qin Zhen praised him with applause.

Qin Zhen clapped and laughed, "Your drinking is intense; it's just the beginning. I won't match your whole bottle; half will do for me."

Zhang Kewei quickly said, "As I said, take it easy, just a sip will do. I have no intention of competing with you in drinking. See, Brother Feng only took a sip earlier."

Chen Feng laughed, "After all, he's not as familiar with you as I am. But half a bottle is needed, even a whole bottle sounds reasonable."

Qin Zhen also laughed, "Indeed, the first time you toast me with a bottle, I can't settle with less than a half."

Having said that, Qin Zhen glugged down more than half a bottle.

"You, leader, are so particular, thanks for the honor. Come on, have some skewers to coat the stomach."

Zhang Kewei immediately gave a thumb-up along with some nice words.

Qin Zhen waved and shook his head, "Enough please, all this leader talk! I'm not even a tiny official. Just call me by my name."

Chen Feng also said, "Yes, just call him by his name. He's just a deputy, and it's merely in the provincial capital of Xiu Zhou. Calling him leader, aren't you making fun of him?"

"No, no, absolutely not. How dare I mock him? Alright, I'll call you by your name then. Brother Zhen, back in school days, I always thought you were imposing and extraordinary. Honestly, when you stood next to Brother Feng, both tall and handsome, full of vigor. Later, when Brother Feng said you joined the army, I thought it suited you well. Now you've become a policeman, that's equally fitting for you. Look at your thick eyebrows, big eyes, and righteous face, not becoming a policeman would be a waste."

"Alright, stop flattering him," Chen Feng laughed, interrupting Zhang Kewei's flattery, "How's your store business lately? Doing well, I assume."

Zhang Kewei chuckled, "It's alright, much better than before when I was just working for others. It's mainly thanks to your support, my old classmate. Those two companies you recommended nearly contribute to a fifth of my store's revenue.

Now, my store's workload and revenue have basically reached their limits, hard to further advance. My store is only so big; I don't have any grand ambitions to expand and open branches. For now, I'm quite content."

"Contentment brings happiness, very good." Chen Feng nodded approvingly, then asked, "Now that you're somewhat successful in business, have you found a girlfriend?"

With a hint of pride, Zhang Kewei nodded, "Yes, I have."

"Damn, when did that happen? Why didn't you tell me? I'm curious how you, the old bachelor, managed to find a girlfriend, and of course, what she looks like."

Zhang Kewei shyly smiled, "We just confirmed the relationship not long ago. Didn't I invite you out for drinks and skewers right away?"

"You should have brought her out for me to see, to give you some perspective."

Zhang Kewei laughed awkwardly, "She's kind of shy, and also, since you suddenly decided to bring Brother Zhen, I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to bring her along. With her around, the three of us men talking and drinking wouldn't be as fun."

Chen Feng nodded, "That's also true."

"Next time there's a chance, I will bring her out for you to meet," Zhang Kewei grinned.

Chen Feng asked curiously, "Where is she from? What does she do? What does she look like?"

"She's from Yi State like me, my fellow townsman. She just graduated from university last year and now works as an office clerk at a company. I met her while promoting at her company a few months ago, then found out we share hometowns and gradually got closer, adding each other on WeChat. Then I started pursuing her, took me about four to five months to finally win her over. Here, this is her photo."

In the end, Zhang Kewei, not without a hint of boastfulness, showed Chen Feng a photo of his girlfriend on his phone.

The photo showed she had a decent appearance, cheeks filled with collagen, though maybe due to beauty filters.

Regardless, considering Zhang Kewei's looks, finding a girlfriend several years younger was indeed a case of an old cow eating tender grass.

Of course, in this regard, Chen Feng also had ample experience.

"Not bad, looks decent. You finally turned your luck, achieving both career and love,"

Chen Feng sincerely rejoiced for him.

Qin Zhen also took a look at the phone and politely nodded in appreciation.

Only then did Zhang Kewei happily retract his phone, laughing, "This year, my luck indeed has been quite good: first, opening my store and earning some money, then successfully finding a girlfriend. I have to say, it's mostly thanks to you, my old classmate. If it weren't for the business you referred, who knows if my store could stay open. And without the store, I wouldn't have gone to my girlfriend's company to promote, and without promoting at her company that third time to discuss contracts, I wouldn't have added her on WeChat. All in all, you're my great benefactor. Let me toast you with another bottle to show my gratitude."

Saying that the guy was about to open another bottle and chug it down, when Chen Feng hurriedly stopped him, "Alright, alright, I know you can drink, but no need to rush like this. You just had two skewers, and two bottles are already down."

Qin Zhen also advised, "Yes, drinking slowly is more enjoyable. Otherwise, once you're drunk and start talking nonsense, chatting wouldn't be fun anymore."

Seeing this, Zhang Kewei didn't insist, and laughed, "Then let's drink slowly. But Brother Feng, you're really my great benefactor, my big patron. Please keep looking out for me in the future."

"It sounds distant saying things like that. Those two office supply businesses, who else would I refer them to but you? You're my old classmate, of course, I'd prioritize you. Apart from that, there's nothing more I can do for you."

"Hehe, didn't I just say earlier? My office supply store's performance has already reached a bottleneck, and I haven't planned to expand my business. I just want to maintain the current level."
