Chapter Thirteen Zhao Haijun
Zhou Yuan was sitting in a daze, but he didn't know how long he had sat there until he was ringing his cell phone. He shook his head and put the things back into his pocket. Zhou Yuan took out his cell phone and saw that it was his friend Zhao Haijun's phone number.
"Zhou Yuan! Are you free at night?" As soon as the phone was answered, Zhao Haijun's unique loud voice came out of the receiver.
"What? You guy, a busy man, are going to ask me for a drink today?" Zhou Yuan asked with a smile. Every time Zhao Haijun calls, most of the time he wants to ask him to drink. Zhou Yuan has long been used to this. As expected, the same is true today. Zhao Haijun laughed at the other end of the phone and said yes. Zhou Yuan agreed in one go. The two made an appointment and hung up the phone.
Backstreet Bar, the owner of this bar is a fan of Backstreet Boys, and the name of the bar comes from this. Although this bar is average in scale, it is very famous in the circle. It is also a place where Zhou Yuan and Zhao Haijun often gather.
As night fell, the bar street was full of lights. Zhou Yuan walked into the back street bar in a familiar way, and then walked straight towards the position where he often sat.
"Mr. Zhou, you haven't come sometimes." As soon as he sat down, the boss Liming came up with a smile and put a glass of water on the table.
"Thank you." Zhou Yuan nodded politely and smiled: "I was on a business trip a while ago, and your business here is still as good as ever."
"Hahaha, it's not thanks to your care and everyone's support." Li Ming smiled. It's still early, but his bar has already sat in half. This is a sign of prosperity for so many bars on the bar street. I'm afraid that the whole bar will be full of guests in less than an hour. As the boss, Li Ming is naturally happy.
"Or it's the same?" Li Ming asked after a smile.
Zhou Yuan nodded and asked Li Ming to get some more beer. For Zhou Yuan, who was an old customer, Li Ming understood it as soon as he heard it, and nodded and left immediately. Not long after the drinks came up, Li Ming also specially sent some snacks for wine. After Zhou Yuan thanked, Li Ming left.
"Boss, is that table reserved for this customer?" Back at the bar, a young waitress couldn't help but ask Li Ming when she saw Zhou Yuan sitting in the corner. The waitress didn't come to the back street bar for a long time, and Zhou Yuan hadn't come for some days, so she was very curious when she saw this scene. You should know that the table was kept alone even if the store's business was good. Who would have thought it was because of Zhou Yuan today.
Li Ming nodded with a smile, but did not explain too much to the waitress. It was precisely because he was very familiar with Zhou Yuan that he knew Zhou Yuan’s personality and habits that he either came to the bar for a drink alone or had a gathering with close friends. He had never had any interest in the waitress and other women in the bar, and he did not like to disturb anyone else.
In addition to Zhou Yuan being an old customer of the Back Street Bar, there is another reason why Li Ming is so close to Zhou Yuan that is unknown to outsiders, that is, Zhou Yuan is actually the landlord of this bar.
The real owner of the storefront house of Back Street Bar is Zhou Yuan. Since Liming borrowed the back street bar here many years ago, Zhou Yuan would come to sit there from time to time. Over the years, Zhou Yuan has become good friends with Liming, and the rent is still at the level of a few years ago. This makes Liming very grateful to Zhou Yuan. It is precisely because of the low rent cost that Back Street Bar has advantages in the quality and price of the wines of other bars on this street. In addition, Liming is very regular in business and has good service, so he gradually has a reputation and is famous in the circle.
Once, in order to thank Zhou Yuan for his care, Li Ming once wanted to give up part of the shares to Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan smiled and refused. Zhou Yuan gave the reason that he liked the layout and environment here, and he also had a relationship with Li Ming. Both parties were friends, but once they became shareholders, the relationship would be different. So for these reasons, after Li Ming, he set up a special table in the store to reserve it specifically for Zhou Yuan.
Beer is for Zhao Haijun. Zhou Yuan drank the whiskey he had in the bar. Compared to many young people who like to drink red wine, Zhou Yuan's drinking method is rare at his age. After all, young people generally think that drinking red wine is more stylish, especially Lafite, or something. No matter how bad it is, it is still a beer.
It’s not that Zhou Yuan doesn’t drink red wine, nor does he not be able to afford Lafite. However, compared to red wine, the wheat aroma of whiskey is more suitable for his taste.
He usually drinks Yamazaki for 2018. Compared with Scotland or other European and American brands, this wine is more suitable for the habits of Oriental people. Although Zhou Yuan doesn't catch a cold with Xiaobian, he has to admit that Yamazaki's taste is indeed good.
Not long after sitting, Zhao Haijun's burly figure as bear appeared from the door. He saw Zhou Yuan sitting from afar. The guy showed his white teeth and greeted Zhou Yuan. He arrived in front of him in a few steps.
"Hehe, you still understand me, thank you." After sitting down, Zhao Haijun picked up a glass of cold beer and killed half of the glass in one go, then whispered a mouth and said it was pleasant, and then he laughed.
Zhao Haijun is Zhou Yuan’s childhood friend. They are not only neighbors, but also friends who grow up naked, and they are like brothers.
When Zhou Yuan was in junior high school, Zhou Yuan's parents went to start a business. The company was in a hot business for a few years. After successfully starting a business, they bought a new house in other places and moved out of the old community before. But even so, Zhou Yuan and Zhao Haijun still had contacts. The two often gathered together, and the brotherly friendship has continued from childhood to the present.
Unlike Zhou Yuan, Zhao Haijun's studies are not as good as Zhou Yuan. He did not get into Haicheng University in the college entrance examination, but he entered Haicheng Police University. After graduation, he took the civil service exam. In this way, Zhao Haijun, who has been strong and righteous since childhood, has become a member of the glorious police ranks. His physical fitness and straightforward personality are as stubborn as a fish in the police ranks. He stayed in the police station for several years. Later, because of the crackdown on several cases, he was promoted to the criminal police ranks and transferred to the criminal police ranks.
When working as a criminal policeman, he looks majestic outside, but in fact, only those who have worked as a criminal policeman know the hard work. The same is true for Zhao Haijun. If he was working as a policeman, at least his daily rest was guaranteed. However, after working as a criminal policeman, Zhao Haijun got up early and worked late, and even had no time for personal leisure. He often couldn't even go home for the sake of the case. He either ran outside or slept directly in the office after staying up late at work, but he was still happy.
However, after each previous case is over, Zhao Haijun will use another way to adjust himself. This way is to ask Zhou Yuan to drink, chat and relax his spirit in the bar. The same is true today. Seeing Zhao Haijun looking refreshed, Zhou Yuan knew that he must have just completed a case.
When the two friends met, especially the two men, there were naturally many topics to talk to. Zhou Yuan, who often kept a distance between interacting with outsiders, would only relax completely when he was with Zhao Haijun and talk and laugh unscrupulously.
After drinking and chatting, Zhou Yuan, who was careful, found that Zhao Haijun seemed to be a little different today. He was so energetic that he couldn't hide his happy events. He couldn't help asking, as if it was true. Zhao Haijun told him that because of his excellent work, his superiors had already talked to him.
"Congratulations, this is a celebration of celebration!" Zhou Yuan was really happy for Zhao Haijun and raised his glass to congratulate him. Zhao Haijun laughed, picked up the beer glass and touched Zhou Yuan happily, and then drank the wine in the glass in one sip.
