How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 175 Social Phenomenon
"Come on, I don't have a niece as old as you." Ye Qi said jokingly.

"Look, I told you that you are old!" another girl counterattacked.

"Go, go, go. What do you want? I'm discussing this with Ye Qi."

"Why is it none of my business? I want to do that too!"

"Hahaha……"

"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you chatting during work hours? Get back to work." The manager came out of the office and shouted.

"Oh!"

As for Li Le, after returning home, he took out a jade Guanyin from the west wing and placed it on the antique shelf.

Then he made himself a pot of tea and lay on the sofa to study Jin Ping Mei.

"A wonderful person like me..."

The cell phone rang at this time, and Li Le frowned. In the past, the cell phone would not ring for several days, but now it rings every day, and sometimes several times a day.

"Hello! Who?"

Only a number is displayed on the phone, not the name.

"Li Le, it's me, Zhou Lei."

"It's you! I thought it was someone else! There's no name shown on it."

Last time, Li Le gave Zhou Lei a new number, but he didn’t call it at that time, so he didn’t mark his name.

This is also because Zhou Lei is playing with a new account. If he was playing with an old account, his name would be on it.

"I didn't notice. Maybe he's using a new account."

"What's the matter why you call me at this time?" Li Le asked.

If nothing happened, Zhou Lei would not call him.

"Hey, isn't this the second brother coming to the capital? Call me, I want to tell you too."

"What the hell?" Li Le stood up from the sofa and asked, "Why didn't the second brother call me when he came to the capital?"

The four people in Li Le's dormitory have a very good relationship.

We fought together, dated girls together, carried guns together (military training), and...

This guy came to the capital but didn't call him, instead he called Zhou Lei.

"Uh!" Zhou Lei was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "No, the person hasn't arrived yet! He is probably on the high-speed train now and will arrive in the afternoon."

"You guys, you don't speak clearly, I thought we had already arrived!"

"No, no, I called you to ask you, how about we go pick him up together in the afternoon?" Zhou Lei said.

"Sure! But you can't tell him. I'll see what he says when we meet."

"Okay, I won't tell him."

Li Le thought about it and said, "How about this, let's have lunch together at noon and I'll tell you something."

Li Le’s company will soon get its business license, and it’s time to tell Zhou Lei.

Of course, he wouldn't say that the company was his, otherwise Zhou Lei probably wouldn't go.

"Sure! I'll treat you today."

Last time they had dinner, he said it was his treat, but Li Le paid the bill in advance. This time, he had to treat Li Le no matter what.

"Okay, you tell me a place and I'll be there right now." Li Le said after looking at his watch.

It’s not long before dinner time. If he chooses a place for Zhou Lei to come, it will probably be very late.

Let Zhou Lei choose the place, it must be very close to Zhou Lei. Li Le has a motorcycle, so it is convenient for him to go anywhere.

"Then let's go to Yuhuo Renjia near Xizhimen! I heard it's very good."

"Okay, I'll go over there when I think about it."

Li Le hung up the phone, tidied up the coffee table, took the motorcycle key and went out.

Xizhimen is still far from Li Le’s home. Fortunately, there is no traffic jam when riding a motorcycle, otherwise it may take an hour to get there.

Li Le didn't know where Zhou Lei came from. Anyway, when he arrived, Zhou Lei hadn't arrived yet.

Li Le parked his motorcycle and went straight in. Maybe it was lunchtime, there were a lot of people inside, but there were still seats available.

Li Le found a seat and sat down. Just as he took out his phone to call Zhou Lei, the waiter came over. "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Wait a moment, there's still one person who hasn't come yet. Wait until he comes before ordering!"

"Ok!"

After the waiter left, Li Le called Zhou Lei.

"Li Le, are you here yet?"

"Yeah! Just arrived."

"Sorry! There's a bit of traffic on the road, but I'm almost there, why don't you order first."

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Li Le asked.

"I can do anything, just watch me!"

"OK then!"

After Li Le hung up the phone, he waved to the waiter.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

"I'll order first, and the people will be here soon."

"Okay." The waiter handed the menu to Li Le.

Li Le took a look and saw that most of them were popular dishes, so he said to the waiter, "Bring two of your special dishes, and also this, this, and this."

The waiter took a look at the dishes Li Le pointed out and wrote them down, then asked, "There are several special dishes. Would you…"

"Just bring two of your best-selling products."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

Not long after Li Le ordered the dishes, Zhou Lei arrived.

"I'm sorry, Li Le, I'm late because I invited you to dinner."

"It's okay, come and sit down!"

Zhou Lei looked much more energetic than when we met a few days ago. He must have cleaned up.

"By the way, why did the second brother come to the capital?" Li Le asked.

"I don't know either. Maybe he's here for a trip! He didn't tell me when he called."

Li Le took a sip of tea and said, "Being a civil servant is quite comfortable. I can travel when I have nothing to do."

"That's right, you can get a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood. Although the salary is not very high, there are many hidden benefits!"

Li Le nodded and said, "That's right. Civil servants earn three to four thousand yuan a month, which is enough to buy a car and a house, and their children go to good schools. Farmers working as laborers on construction sites earn more than ten thousand yuan a month, but they can't afford a car or a house, and it's hard for their children to go to school."

"Uh!" Zhou Lei was stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems that you don't need this! Are you so cynical?"

"It has nothing to do with whether it is needed or not. I am just talking about the reality of this society."

"All right!"

"Did you tell me what time the high-speed train will arrive?" Li Le asked.

"I told you to be there at three o'clock."

"Yes! We'll finish our meal at about 1:30, and then go to the train station. We'll have enough time."

"It's definitely in time!" Zhou Lei said with a smile.

"By the way, how is your job search going?" Li Le asked Zhou Lei.

"I haven't found one yet. Alas! It's really hard to find a job now." Zhou Lei sighed and said with a wry smile.

In fact, finding a job is not difficult, what is difficult is finding a suitable job.

There are also many people who have high expectations but lack the skills to perform. They always feel that they should earn 20,000 yuan a month, but can only create 5,000 yuan in profit for their boss.

Who would dare to hire or employ such a person? How could it be easy for such a person to find a job?

Of course, Zhou Lei is not such a person. He is a person who can create profits for his boss, but unfortunately he can't meet a good boss.
