Old Rules

After graduating from college, Zhao Shuo found a job in a private company. Early this morning, the manager in charge arranged for him to go to Baodi City to find an old customer to contact the business.

From Zhao Shuo's city to Baodi City is not far, only two hours of driving, and things are done very smoothly, less than half a day's work was done. Zhao Shuo took a look at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, and just when he was ready to find a place to eat a casual meal, he suddenly remembered his college classmate Huang Wen who worked in Baodi City. When they were in college, they often went to eat together, but Huang Wen was very stingy and calculating, so every time he was able to fool Zhao Shuo into paying for it. But this time to Huang Wen's territory, Zhao Shuo felt that he had to do his best to host ah!

So, Zhao Shuo took out his cell phone and dialed Huang Wen's number: "Hello, Huang Wen? This is Zhao Shuo! I'm here to do something for you, things have been done, let's have a meal together. Noon? That's fine! Make a reservation and send the address to my phone."

At noon, Zhao Shuo took a cab to the hotel according to the location Huang Wen said. The waiter at the hotel immediately greeted him and asked, "Excuse me, how many of you are dining?" Zhao Shuo did not pick up the conversation, but directly asked, "Where is the elegant room reserved by Mr. Huang Wen?" As soon as the waiter heard this, he immediately extended his right hand forward and introduced Zhao Shuo into the elegant room that Huang Wen had reserved in advance. After entering the elegant room, Zhao Shuo and Huang Wen immediately pulled away from the conversation, and the waitress took advantage of the time when they were talking to hand over the menu with both hands. Huang Wen gestured at Zhao Shuo and said, "Same old rules, your order."

Zhao Shuo reached out and took the menu, thinking: When I was in college, I was always fooled by you to check out, this time, no matter what you say, I will not pay a penny! And must take advantage of this opportunity to make your kid a little blood! So Zhao Shuo picked a good dish and finally asked for a bottle of fine white wine. And Huang Wen just smilingly looked at Zhao Shuo, not a word.

Not long after, the food and wine, two people drinking and chatting, were so lively. After the wine was full, Zhao Shuo wiped his mouth and said: "That's it for today, let's get together again some other day! I have to go, if it's late, there is no return bus! I'll go to the bathroom first, so I don't have to find a toilet on the way." After saying that, Zhao Shuo got up and walked out.

In the work of a cigarette, Zhao Shuo came back, picked up the clothes and the accompanying information, and walked out of the elegant room with Huang Wen. Zhao Shuo thought as he walked: Hum, Huang Wen this kid in society for a few years, finally learned to be smart! Take the opportunity to go to the toilet, consciously settled the bill, not in vain I invited him to eat so many times back then.

The two walked to the door of the hotel, Huang Wen said he still had things to do, not to send Zhao Shuo to the coach station. Zhao Shuo waved his hand, and said no need to send, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, shook hands, and said goodbye. Zhao Shuo took a cab alone to the coach station, and just as Zhao Shuo took out his wallet and was about to pay for the ride, he suddenly realized that he had less money and that there was a restaurant checkout slip clipped to his wallet with a line of writing on it: "As usual, I don't pay. Man, thank you for today, I haven't eaten so much meat and drank so much good wine for almost six months ......"
