Today's meal ended with some feeling elated and others frustrated.
After dinner, a few colleagues stayed to chat and play mahjong while Chen Zeqing took Chen Chaonan straight home, and he was simply beyond persuading.
Of course, Huo Hai only made a token effort to encourage them to stay.
Seeing Chen Zeqing's face, oppressed to the point of ugliness, Huo Hai felt very satisfied!
Today's quota for showing off, achieved!
After leaving the suffocating Huo Family neighborhood, and seeing that there were no more nosy people around, Chen Zeqing finally burst into a tirade.
"Damn old coot," "little bastard," "what's there to be proud of," and "it's just Tsinghua, if you're so capable, go abroad" were among the phrases he kept muttering under his breath...
He grumbled all the way to their car, and upon opening the door, Chen Zeqing still couldn't let the matter go.
