Chapter 20: So it was you after all

  Wandu Entertainment Club, the largest leisure and entertainment club in Jianghuai, integrates dining, entertainment and leisure as one, covering a vast area, with luxurious decoration, is the money vault of many powerful people in Jianghuai.

  Although Wang Zhi has lived in Jianghuai for 23 years, he has always heard people talk about it but never came. Even this time when he returned again, Wang Zhi's temperament and life have changed, but he still hasn't come. It's not that he didn't have the money, but rather no spare time. For such a luxurious place, Wang Zhi has always been indifferent to it.

  This time, Aze set the gathering at Wanda, which made Wang Zhi very surprised. Although Aze's family situation is better than Wang Zhi's, it's not good enough to be luxurious in Wanda, so it can be seen that this kid must have some opportunities this time he went to the troops.

  After getting out of the taxi, Wang Zhi looked at the many luxury cars parked in front of the Wanda Plaza and gazed up at its towering floors. Even someone like Wang Zhi, who had seen several generations of imperial palaces, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. This Wanda was no ordinary place.

  As he walked through the gate, Wang Zhi was warmly greeted by a beautiful and bright service staff member who escorted him all the way to the elevator.

  The private room where Aze was located was on the third floor. When Wang Zhi arrived, there were already six people sitting inside, all of whom were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. It turned out that Aze had invited them all this time.

  When Wang Zhijin arrived, several people shouted: "Xiao Zhi, you're late! First, drink three cups of wine as a penalty."

  Looking at the several people with sly smiles, Wang Zhi knew that these people were bullying him for his small alcohol capacity, and had been preparing to take advantage of him from the start. However, they didn't know that he was no longer the same person as before, and his drinking capacity had long since improved through practice.

  Although he is no longer afraid of a few people toasting him, Wang Zhi still explained: "This has nothing to do with me, I rushed over as soon as I received the call, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame Aze for notifying me too late."

  Wang Zhi said, looking at Aze on one side: "Aze, you little scoundrel, as soon as you came back, you set a trap for your brothers."

  "Hehe, don't make so many excuses, drink first and then talk." Azhe said with a smile, handing a cup of white wine to Wang Zhi's hand.

  "What's with this kid?" Wang Zhi complained, but he was smiling as he took the cup of wine. With a light lift of his hand, the cup of wine was tossed into his mouth.

  Seeing Wang Zhi drinking like this, several people were stunned, and those who didn't believe it rubbed their eyes. Is this still the same Wang Zhi who used to faint at the sight of wine? Even they didn't have such skills.

  "Ah ha, Xiao Zhi is quite good." A Ze, who had come back to his senses, handed over another cup of wine and said: "Your capacity for liquor has increased."

  Wang Zhi took the wine cup and, without saying a word, downed it in one gulp. The cup was empty in an instant. He put down the cup and proactively picked up another one, which also became an empty cup in the blink of an eye.

  "Smash it, smash it, mouthful," Wang Zhi said with some regret: "A 15-year-old well-stocked premium Maotai, not bad, quite a kick."

  Watching Wang Zhi drink several more cups of wine without batting an eyelid, the few people finally conceded defeat. As the saying goes, "after three days, one's appearance changes", this phrase is indeed true.

  Several people sat back down, and Wang Zhi looked at A Ze, whose body had become much more robust after serving as a soldier for four years, and said: "A Ze, you've done quite well these past four years. As soon as you came back, you got married to Wan Dou, that's not a low social status."

  "Generally speaking." Ah Ze said with a smile.

  "Xiao Zhi, you can't imagine, Ah Ze this kid went to the troops this time and actually got recognized by a lieutenant general's daughter. In just four years, he has already become a battalion commander, what a level of mixing." Ma Dongqi said beside Ah Ze, he and Wang Zhi were high school classmates, and their relationship was not bad either. After graduating from high school, they took the college entrance examination and went to a university in Shanyang, also several years without seeing each other.

  "Wow, not bad, you don't look like a soft and delicate pretty boy, how did you get such good luck?" Wang Zhi chuckled and joked: "This time back also didn't bring the person back, let everyone see."

  "Haha." Aze was silly laughed by Wang Zhi, but his face was extremely happy: "She'll be here soon, this time she's back to get engaged."

  "No wonder you were so willing to invite everyone to Wanda, it turns out you were looking forward to everyone's red envelopes." Another friend joked.

  A few people chatted and laughed, Ah Ze had already ordered someone to start ordering dishes. The dishes were just ordered when the private room door was pushed open and a very beautiful girl walked in.

  The girl had a short haircut that reached her shoulders, wearing a tight-fitting casual outfit, looking refreshing and capable, also seemed to be from a military background.

  When he saw the girl coming in, Aze hastily stood up and introduced: "This is my girlfriend as well as my fiancée, He Ying."

  "Hello everyone, nice to meet you all." He Yiqing greeted the group with a crisp and clear voice, without any awkwardness of meeting for the first time.

  Next, A Ze also introduced everyone to He Ying, and after a few polite exchanges, they sat down again. Just then, Wang Zhi's mobile phone suddenly rang.

  Wang Zhi took out his mobile phone, apologetically glanced at everyone and said: "Sorry, I have a few calls." He was about to get up and go out, but was stopped by A Ze.

  "Whose phone is this? It's so mysterious, I wonder if it's a girlfriend or something."

  Wang Zhi couldn't help but smile wryly as he listened to A Ze's words, and then picked up the phone. The call was from Huang Jianming, and it should be about what happened yesterday.

  "Hello Director Huang, I'm Wang Zhi."

  "Doctor Wang, I'm really sorry it took so long to get this done for you. That Wang Hongjun was directly dismissed and Jiang Fuhai was given a one-year penalty. I don't know if you're satisfied."

  "I don't have any opinions, you guys handle it yourselves. To be honest, if you hadn't called me, I would've almost forgotten." Wang Zhi said with a smile, this kind of trivial matter was not even worth his attention.

  "Alright then, I'll hang up first and we can catch up when you're free." Huang Jianming said before hanging up the phone.

  After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi found that except for He Ying, several others were staring at him strangely.

  "What's wrong with you guys?" Wang Zhi asked curiously, unaware that his old mobile phone, which he had used for several years, was also leaking sound, and their conversation with Huang Jianming had just been clearly heard by several people.

  "Xiao Zhi, wasn't that Huang Jianming just now?" Bai Peng asked tentatively. He and Wang Zhi knew each other, but weren't very familiar, however he had a good relationship with A Ze, being a native of Jianghuai. His family background was also quite good, so he had some understanding of some figures in Jianghuai.

  "Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Zhi also did not hide and said frankly.

  "Is it really Huang Jianming? The director of Jianghuai City Public Security Bureau?" Bai Peng confirmed again, he had just heard that Huang Jianming used polite language to Wang Zhiyu, if the other party was indeed Huang Jianming, the director of Jianghuai City Public Security Bureau, then this Wang Zhiyu was not simple at all.

  "Yes." Wang Zhi smiled wryly and nodded, now he understood. He felt a pang of regret in his heart, momentarily careless and forgetting to lock the sound, it seemed that he still had time to buy a new phone.

  "It's you." Upon hearing this, He Ying, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, leaving Wang Zhi bewildered and wondering if he had known her before.
