As soon as I get in the car, Shi Yong immediately follows the car's speaker and starts his howling-singing mode.

As soon as I get in the car, Shi Yong immediately follows the car's speaker and starts his howling-singing mode.

But need to be concise: "As soon as I get in the car, Shi Yong immediately follows the car's speaker and starts howling." Keep meaning.

I find it very painful to listen.

I find it very painful to listen,

Shi Yong gets excited and never thinks about how others feel.

"This Shi Yong, when he gets happy, never considers others' feelings." We'll translate: "Once Shi Yong gets happy, he never considers anyone else's feelings."

He howls one song and ruins the next.

"Shi Yong howls one song, ruins one song." Means each song he howls, he ruins it. We'll translate: "Shi Yong howls a song and ruins it."

I won't listen to any song Shi Yong has howled, because as soon as the music starts,

"Any song Shi Yong has howled, I will never listen to again. Because as soon as the music starts," We'll translate: "Any song Shi Yong has howled, I will never listen to again, because as soon as the music starts,"

My mind is filled with Shi Yong's voice.

After a while, Shi Yong finally finished howling a song and stopped.

I also let out a sigh of relief.

"I also let out a breath." We'll translate: "I also let out a sigh of relief."

I was afraid Shi Yong would howl again, so I quickly said, "Shi Yong, do you know? The matter of Qihe Mine has been settled. We've taken back Qihe Mine."

"I was afraid Shi Yong would howl again, so I quickly said: 'Shi Yong, do you know? The matter of Qi He Kuang has been settled. We've taken back Qi He Kuang.'" We'll translate: "Afraid Shi Yong would howl again, I quickly said, 'Shi Yong, do you know? The matter of Qi He Kuang is settled—we've taken back Qi He Kuang.'"

"Really, brother?" Shi Yong asked.

"Really, brother?" Shi Yong asked. We'll translate: '"Really, brother?" Shi Yong asked.'

"I wouldn't lie to you. Tomorrow Ding Li and Xiao Feng will go to Xin City to handle the paperwork, and the legal representative of Qihe Mine will be Ding Li." I said.

"I can't fool you. Tomorrow Ding Li and Xiao Feng will go to Xin Cheng to handle the paperwork; besides, the future legal representative of Qi He Kuang will be Ding Li." I said. We'll translate: '"I couldn't fool you. Tomorrow Ding Li and Xiao Feng will go to Xin Cheng to handle the paperwork; besides, the future legal representative of Qi He Kuang will be Ding Li." I said.'

"It doesn't matter who becomes the legal representative. I don't want the position either—it's too tiring. Brother, I just want to ask one thing: has the head of Qihe Mine's security department been decided?" Shi Yong asked.

"Whoever is the legal representative doesn't matter. I don't want to be it either—it's too tiring. Brother, I just want to ask one thing: has the head of Qi He Kuang's Security Section been decided?" Shi Yong asked. We'll translate: '"Whoever is the legal representative doesn't matter; I don't want it either—it's too tiring. Brother, I just want to ask one thing: has the head of Qi He Kuang's Security Section been decided?" Shi Yong asked.'

Shi Yong has never forgotten his aspiration to be the head of the security department.

"Shi Yong has always been thinking about his Security Section chief." We'll translate: "Shi Yong has always been thinking about his Security Section chief."

I really don't see what's so great about being the security department head that would make Shi Yong so obsessed.

"I really don't know what's good about being the Security Section chief that makes Shi Yong so infatuated." We'll translate: "I really don't know what's good about being the Security Section chief that makes Shi Yong so infatuated."

I said, "It hasn't been decided yet; from now on, all personnel appointments will be handled by Ding Li." I said.

I said: "For now it hasn't been decided; future personnel appointments will be handled by Ding Li." I said. We'll translate: '"For now it hasn't been decided; future personnel appointments will be handled by Ding Li." I said.'

"Ding Li will handle it; Ding Li is my good brother. When the time comes, I'll go to the security department and become its head. This is settled, damn it—I will definitely clean up the security department,"

"Ding Li will handle it; Ding Li is my good brother. Then I'll go to the Security Section and become its chief—this is settled. Damn, I will definitely straighten out the Security Section," We'll translate: '"Ding Li will handle it; Ding Li is my good brother. Then I'll go to the Security Section and become its chief—this is settled. Damn, I will definitely straighten out the Security Section,"'

"I'll fire those disobedient little punks." Shi Yong said angrily.

"and fire those disobedient little brats." Shi Yong said angrily. We'll translate: 'and fire those disobedient little brats." Shi Yong said angrily.'

No need to ask—Shi Yong's attempt to enter Qihe Mine was blocked, leaving a shadow.

"No need to ask about Shi Yong's obstruction at Qi He Kuang; it left a shadow." We'll translate: "No need to ask about Shi Yong's obstruction at Qi He Kuang; it left a shadow."

I laughed and said, "Shi Yong, they say a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and yours is big enough to do the same. They not letting you into the mine is their job—how can you act like this?"

I laughed: "Shi Yong, they say a prime minister's belly can hold a boat; yours is so big it can hold a boat too. They not letting you into the mine is their job—how can you be like that?" We'll translate: '"Shi Yong, they say a prime minister's belly can hold a boat; yours is so big it can hold a boat too. They not letting you into the mine is their job—how can you be like that?" I laughed.'

"Brother, I was so angry then that I even gave my name, but that guy didn't even know me. Where can I put my face at Qihe Mine? Don't I have any reputation?" Shi Yong shouted.

"Brother, back then I was so angry I even gave my name, but that guy didn't even know me. Where does Shi Yong's face go at Qi He Kuang? Don't I have any reputation?" Shi Yong shouted. We'll translate: '"Brother, I was so angry back then I even gave my name, but that guy didn't even know me. Where does Shi Yong's face go at Qi He Kuang? Don't I have any reputation?" Shi Yong shouted.'

"You do have a reputation. Everyone knows Shi Yong with the dark face; now he's Shi Yong with a big belly and a dark face." I said deliberately.

"You have a reputation. Who doesn't know—Shi Yong with the big black face, now Shi Yong with a big belly and big black face." I said deliberately. We'll translate: '"You have a reputation. Who doesn't know—Shi Yong with the big black face, now Shi Yong with a big belly and big black face." I said deliberately.'

"My dark complexion is natural; I can't change it. Brother, you say my belly is big, and it's true—I can't even find clothes that fit. Sigh, if this keeps up, I really worry about my future quality of life. My... hasn't arrived yet, but my belly has—how can that be?" Shi Yong sighed.

"My black face is innate, there's nothing I can do. Brother, you say my belly is big, and it really is—I can't find clothes that fit now. Sigh, if this keeps up, I really worry about my future quality of life; my... hasn't arrived yet, but my belly has—how can that be?" Shi Yong sighed. We'll translate: '"My black face is innate, there's nothing I can do. Brother, you say my belly is big, and it really is—I can't find clothes that fit now.

Hearing Shi Yong's sigh, I almost laughed out loud.

"Hearing Shi Yong's sigh, I almost laughed out loud." We'll translate: "Hearing Shi Yong's sigh, I almost laughed out loud."

This is the first time I've heard that being overweight can affect that aspect.

"This is the first time I've heard that being overweight affects that aspect." We'll translate: "This is the first time I've heard that being overweight affects that aspect."

I said, "Shi Yong, from now on drink less alcohol, eat even less meat—you're over forty, it's time to pay attention to your health."

I said: "Shi Yong, from now on drink less alcohol, eat even less meat—you're over forty, it's time to pay attention to your health." We'll translate: '"Shi Yong, from now on drink less alcohol, eat even less meat—you're over forty, it's time to pay attention to your health." I said.'

We're not young anymore; if we don't stay vigilant, we never know when illness will strike.

"We're not young anymore; if we don't pay attention, who knows when illness will come find us." We'll translate: "We're not young anymore; if we don't pay attention, who knows when illness will come find us."

Shi Yong, everything I've told you is the truth.

"Shi Yong, everything I'm telling you is the truth." We'll translate: "Shi Yong, everything I'm telling you is the truth."

It's time to lose weight. If you keep gaining like this, your health will easily deteriorate.

"It's time to lose weight. If you keep getting fatter like this, your body will easily run into problems." We'll translate: "It's time to lose weight. If you keep getting fatter like this, your body will easily run into problems."

After Shi Yong heard me finish speaking,

"After Shi Yong heard me finish speaking," We'll translate: "After Shi Yong heard me finish speaking,"

"Brother, okay, I'll listen to you. Everything you say is right; I, Shi Yong, only listen to you."

"Brother, okay, I'll listen to you. Everything you say is right; Shi Yong only listens to you." We'll translate: '"Brother, okay, I'll listen to you. Everything you say is right; Shi Yong only listens to you."'

"By the way, don't forget to tell Ding Li about letting me become the head of the security department."

"By the way, don't forget to tell Ding Li about letting me become the Security Section chief." We'll translate: '"By the way, don't forget to tell Ding Li about letting me become the Security Section chief."'

"I won't forget, but your physique would hurt Qihe Mine's image as security chief. If you can lose weight, I'll let you have the position." I laughed.

"I won't forget, but your physique as Security Section chief would too much affect Qi He Kuang's image; if you can lose weight, I'll let you have the position." I laughed. We'll translate: '"I won't forget, but your physique as Security Section chief would too much affect Qi He Kuang's image; if you can lose weight, I'll let you have the position." I laughed.'

"Losing weight is a piece of cake. Life is decades long; we'll always have wind and rain to accompany us, we'll go to gatherings carefree, today we won't return until drunk, we'll have no regrets about the past, we'll slowly savor it. Right now, this cup of wine with friends is most precious—fill it up, drink it, and sing loudly…" Shi Yong then started his howling-singing mode again.

"Losing weight? That's trivial. Life is a few decades; there will always be wind and rain to accompany us, carefree and unrestrained we attend gatherings; today not drunk not return, after the past no regret, slowly experience. At this moment, this cup of wine among friends is most precious—quickly fill it, down it, sing loudly…." Shi Yong then started his howling-singing mode again. We'll translate: '"Losing weight? That's trivial. Life is a few decades; there will always be wind and rain to accompany us, carefree and unrestrained we attend gatherings; today not drunk not return, after the past no regret, slowly experience.

I quickly turned my gaze toward the window to reduce the noise.

"I quickly turned my gaze to the window to reduce the noise." We'll translate: "I quickly turned my gaze to the window to reduce the noise."

We soon arrived at Zaocheng Grand Hotel,

"We soon arrived at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel." We'll translate: "We soon arrived at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel."

Upon entering the hotel, I happened to see Boss Hou in the lobby arranging work for his staff.

"Upon entering the hotel, I happened to see Hou Laoban in the lobby arranging work for his subordinates." We'll translate: "Upon entering the hotel, I happened to see Hou Laoban in the lobby arranging work for his subordinates."

As soon as Shi Yong saw Boss Hou, his excitement rose even higher.

"As soon as Shi Yong saw Hou Laoban, his excitement rose even more." We'll translate: "As soon as Shi Yong saw Hou Laoban, his excitement rose even more."

He hopped and skipped his way over to Boss Hou,

"He hopped and skipped over to Hou Laoban." We'll translate: "He hopped and skipped over to Hou Laoban."

When Boss Hou saw Shi Yong approaching,

"When Hou Laoban saw Shi Yong coming," We'll translate: "When Hou Laoban saw Shi Yong coming,"

He was startled and hurried inside the hotel, not even arranging work for his subordinates.

"he was frightened and hurriedly went inside the hotel, not bothering to arrange work for his subordinates." We'll translate: "he was frightened and hurriedly went inside the hotel, not bothering to arrange work for his subordinates."

"Boss Hou, don't go—I have something to ask you." Shi Yong said.

'"Hou Laoban, don't go. I have something to ask you." Shi Yong said.' We'll translate: '"Hou Laoban, don't go. I have something to ask you." Shi Yong said.'

"Shi Yong brother, I don't have time today; I have other things to do." Boss Hou hurried away.

'"Shi Yong brother, I don't have time today; I still have things to do." Hou Laoban hurried away.' We'll translate: '"Shi Yong brother, I don't have time today; I still have things to do." Hou Laoban hurried away.'

Shi Yong didn't care if anyone was watching; he grabbed Boss Hou,

"Shi Yong didn't care if anyone was around; he grabbed Hou Laoban." We'll translate: "Shi Yong didn't care if anyone was around; he grabbed Hou Laoban."

and shouted at Boss Hou, "After watching that video, I finally realized a problem: nuns are really different from ordinary women—don't you feel the same?"

"and shouted at Hou Laoban: 'Hou Laoban, after watching that video I finally realized a problem: nuns really are different from ordinary women—don't you feel the same?'" We'll translate: 'and shouted at Hou Laoban: "Hou Laoban, after watching that video I finally realized a problem: nuns really are different from ordinary women—don't you feel the same?"'

Boss Hou's face turned red like an eggplant,

"Hou Laoban's face at that moment was red like an eggplant." We'll translate: "Hou Laoban's face at that moment was red like an eggplant."

he wished there were a crack in the ground he could crawl into.

"It seemed if there were a crack in the ground, he could dive into it." We'll translate: "It seemed if there were a crack in the ground, he could dive into it."

Shi Yong's mouth dares to say anything.

"Shi Yong's mouth dares to say anything, dares to speak anything." We'll translate: "Shi Yong's mouth dares to say anything, dares to speak anything."

Boss Hou truly didn't know what to do.

"Hou Laoban truly didn't know what to do." We'll translate: "Hou Laoban truly didn't know what to do."

"Boss Hou, go ahead and speak—you know from personal experience. I just want to discuss this with you."

'"Hou Laoban, go ahead and speak—you know from personal experience. I just want to discuss this with you."' We'll translate: '"Hou Laoban, go ahead and speak—you know from personal experience. I just want to discuss this with you."'

Boss Hou lifted his head and saw me,

"Hou Laoban lifted his head and saw me." We'll translate: "Hou Laoban lifted his head and saw me."

"Jianqiang brother, come quickly. Hey, let Shi Yong brother go back to his room to rest—today's food and lodging are on me."

'"Jianqiang brother, come quickly. Hey, let Shi Yong brother hurry back to his room to rest; today's food and lodging are on me."' We'll translate: '"Jianqiang brother, come quickly. Hey, let Shi Yong brother hurry back to his room to rest; today's food and lodging are on me."'

This Boss Hou is actually a member of Wen Han's group; I didn't know before, and Shi Yong could tease him however he liked.

"This Hou Laoban belongs to Wen Han; I didn't know before, but Shi Yong could tease him however he liked." We'll translate: "This Hou Laoban belongs to Wen Han; I didn't know before, but Shi Yong could tease him however he liked."

I now know that, and I won't let Shi Yong tease him anymore.

"I already know that, and I can't let Shi Yong tease him anymore." We'll translate: "I already know that, and I can't let Shi Yong tease him anymore."

Who would have thought Boss Hou hid himself so deeply that I didn't even notice?

"Who would have thought Hou Laoban hid so deeply—I didn't even notice." We'll translate: "Who would have thought Hou Laoban hid so deeply—I didn't even notice."

His thoughts are surely just as deep; if he ever got angry and harbored murderous intent, Shi Yong would be in trouble.

"His thoughts must be just as deeply hidden; if he ever gets angry and develops killing intent, Shi Yong would be in trouble." We'll translate: "His thoughts must be just as deeply hidden; if he ever gets angry and develops killing intent, Shi Yong would be in trouble."

I hurried over to Shi Yong,

"I hurried over to Shi Yong." We'll translate: "I hurried over to Shi Yong."

"Shi Yong, what are you doing? Let go of Boss Hou quickly."

'"Shi Yong, what are you doing? Quickly let go of Hou Laoban."' We'll translate: '"Shi Yong, what are you doing? Quickly let go of Hou Laoban."'

Shi Yong had no choice but to release Boss Hou's clothing,

"Shi Yong had no choice but to release Hou Laoban's clothing." We'll translate: "Shi Yong had no choice but to release Hou Laoban's clothing."

"Brother, I just wanted to discuss some professional knowledge with Boss Hou—I love learning, and Boss Hou is also very keen on research."

'"Brother, I just want to discuss some professional knowledge with Hou Laoban—I love learning very much, and Hou Laoban also enjoys delving deeply into things."' We'll translate: '"Brother, I just want to discuss some professional knowledge with Hou Laoban—I love learning very much, and Hou Laoban also enjoys delving deeply into things."'

I just want him to take me along.

"I myself feel that nuns and other women..."

"All right, Shi Yong, never ending, huh. In the future, if you bring up the nun matter again, I'll get angry with you." I immediately flared up and said.

"Brother, don't be angry, I won't bring it up—you're protecting the nun, I'm a bit confused." Shi Yong furrowed his brows and said.

"Hou Laoban, you have things to do, go get busy first. We'll go upstairs to rest." I said to Hou Laoban.

"Thanks, Jianqiang brother, you rest first; at noon we'll eat together, I'll treat." Hou Laoban said gratefully.

Shi Yong still wanted to say something, I stared at him.

Shi Yong then hurriedly shut up and said nothing.

I and Shi Yong took the elevator back to the room.

I closed the door,

Shi Yong hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong? I just said a couple of words to Hou Laoban, and you got that angry."

"Shi Yong, from now on don't joke with Hou Laoban. Understand?" I said.

"Why?" Shi Yong asked.

"No reason, Shi Yong, you haven't noticed that Kong Shi has fallen, Hou Laoban is fine—don't you think something's off?" I reminded Shi Yong.

Shi Yong shook his head and thought for a while,

"No need to ask, he gave away the nuns. Someone is backing him."

"Besides these, is there nothing else in your brain?" I pointed at Shi Yong's head and said.

"Really, there's nothing else, brother, that's just how I think." Shi Yong said helplessly.

I originally wanted to tell Shi Yong that Hou Laoban is Wen Han's person—no need to ask, Shi Yong definitely wouldn't believe.

So I told Shi Yong, "Shi Yong, the newly arrived Tian Shi is related to Hou Laoban."

From now on, in Zaocheng we all need to rely on Tian Shi. If you joke with Hou Laoban and make him angry,

what will we do if they really go after you?"

"Oh, I get it now—Tian Shi also likes the nun." Shi Yong said.

This Shi Yong is truly hopeless.

I still wanted to say something, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

I hurriedly had Shi Yong go open the door.
