Chapter 142: Boss Hu, You Must Be Kind

~14 min read 2,785 words

"Hello." Wang Yan nodded at Shen Bing, turned his head to Shi Xiaomeng and said: "If I didn't know, I would have thought it was some big star. Xiaomeng is lucky."

Shi Xiaomeng's greatest pride was this childhood sweetheart Shen Bing. In his eyes, none of the Yang Zixi, Lin Xia, or those flirted with by Cheng Feng could compare to his own girl.

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say it like that. Shi Xiaomeng waved his hand and laughed: "Haha, average person, average person."

"If your mouth wasn't stretched so wide, maybe I would have believed it."

Shi Xiaomeng gave a hehe laugh, and turned to greet: "Come, Ge, please come in. The place is a bit small, don't mind it."

"Where are there so many requirements, this house is cleaned so cleanly. It's not that I'm talking about you, Xiaomeng, don't be so polite all the time, it's too distant."

During the conversation, they arrived at the living room in the house. Cheng Feng, Wu Di, and Hu Rongqiang had already arrived. Seeing the two come over, they all stood up.

Shi Xiaomeng smiled and didn't say much, reached out and introduced: "Let me introduce everyone, this is my Wang Ge, the benefactor who saved me two days ago."

Turning his head, he introduced to Wang Yan: "Ge, this is Hu Rongqiang, also my boss, he has always taken good care of me."

Wang Yan nodded, reached out and shook hands with him: "Hello, Boss Hu."

Because Wang Yan hadn't arrived, Cheng Feng had complained a bit before. Wu Di repeated what Shi Xiaomeng had told him, and Hu Rongqiang heard it all clearly on the side.

Hu Rongqiang hurriedly reached out both hands, his fat face piled with smiles: "Mr. Wang, hello, you, you, it's really thanks to your help, otherwise our company's project wouldn't have been so smooth. We must have a good drink in a while, let me express my gratitude."

"Easy to say, it was just a lift of a hand, a lift of a hand."

Wang Yan smiled and let go of his hand, turned his head to look at the two people, Wu Cheng Feng and Wu Di, standing on the side.

Shi Xiaomeng's voice sounded at the right time: "These are my two good brothers, Wu Di, Cheng Feng." As he spoke, he pointed at the two.

"Hello." Wang Yan reached out and shook hands with them respectively.

Wu Di said: "Wang Ge, hello. Really have to thank you for lending a helping hand, otherwise it wouldn't have been clear what would have happened."

He had a pretty good impression of Wang Yan, after all, such an awesome person, and it was a chance encounter, helping Shi Xiaomeng, giving him work, quite decent.

Cheng Feng also said on the side: "Wang Ge, right? Thanks for taking care of Xiaomeng."

This shows the gap between the two. Wu Di spoke from the same position as Shi Xiaomeng, while Cheng Feng was different, his position was one level higher, carrying a kind of high and mighty attitude. Perhaps he was unconvinced after hearing some things about Wang Yan, or perhaps he didn't take Shi Xiaomeng seriously.

"It's all small things, nothing big, I just hit it off with Xiaomeng."

Wang Yan was just dealing with the scene, he didn't look up to these two things. Wu Di, and his brother from another mother Wu Wei, were two big sycophants. And he was already researching Yang Zixi, so he was definitely going to be at odds.

As for Cheng Feng, he definitely couldn't escape. Just in the short while Wang Yan had been here, he had already seen him glance at the kitchen several times, so what else was there to think about next?

Shi Xiaomeng finished the introduction and enthusiastically greeted everyone: "Alright, don't stand, sit, sit."

Clattering, they moved the plastic stools, and a few people sat around the table.

Wang Yan said: "There are already quite a few dishes on this table, it's enough. Call your girlfriend over to eat, don't let her be busy, this is already quite sumptuous."

Shi Xiaomeng laughed: "They are all home-cooked dishes, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."

"Ding... Ding... Ding..."

Before the few could pick up the polite words, the phone in Shi Xiaomeng's pocket rang. He took it out and glanced at it: "You guys chat first, I'll take a call."

Wang Yan knew that this was the call from the sales office urging Shi Xiaomeng to pay the down payment. Looking at Shi Xiaomeng, who had a smile on his face and was nodding repeatedly, Wang Yan could only mourn for him in his heart. Even with his help, he didn't look favorably upon Shi Xiaomeng and Shen Bing.

Even if Hu Rongqiang gave that eighty thousand to Shi Xiaomeng, Cheng Feng would still make his move, the change was just another way the story unfolded, the impact wasn't big. Even if he bankrupted Cheng Feng, that character had already been cultivated, he would still pursue her. If he directly killed Cheng Feng, there would be others thinking about Shen Bing in the future, just like that Qin Huang.

When two people are together, the most important thing is the two people, the most feared thing is lack of trust. As long as Cheng Feng keeps tossing, even if Cheng Feng's father doesn't come out to show off, the two of them will eventually break up. After all, Shen Bing is beautiful, Cheng Feng has money, Shi Xiaomeng is not confident, and Cheng Feng is looking for a sense of existence on the side, it would be strange if it went well.

In modern society, is there love that is stronger than gold and lasts until the seas dry and the rocks crumble? I think there should be. It's just that in the nearly two hundred years Wang Yan has experienced, he hasn't seen it...

"Here, Wang Ge." Wu Di took the bowls and chopsticks and handed them over.

Wang Yan took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table: "Good, thanks."

Hu Rongqiang on the side shook his head and sighed: "Oh my, didn't expect Xiaomeng to know people like you and Young Master Cheng."

He was quite sad, to be honest. He had traveled north and south, flattered and fawned over so many people for so many years, and none of it had the weight of Shi Xiaomeng just falling down, and that Cheng Feng. If he had this luck, he wouldn't just be where he is now, where is the reasoning for this?

"Ai, where am I now. Hearing Xiaomeng say it, Cheng Feng is the only son of the chairman of Dade Group. Compared to Dade Group, my little things are not enough to look at."

Cheng Feng shook his head: "Oh, don't say that. Dade Group is my dad's, he is him, I am me."

Hu Rongqiang continued: "Matter of time, ah... haha."

Wang Yan smiled without a word, spending his dad's money here to show off and flirt with little girls, while on the other side drawing such a clear line with his dad, labeling himself as independent, it really is...

Shi Xiaomeng hung up the phone, walked happily to the kitchen and hugged Shen Bing from behind: "Girl, how much longer?"

"Ai ya, it's all oily smoke, you hurry out." Shen Bing rolled her eyes: "The last one, it'll be ready soon, you guys eat first."

Shi Xiaomeng kissed Shen Bing on the face, laughed hehe and picked up the wine he had prepared long ago, and walked to the living room: "Come come come, wine is here. Dishes will be ready soon, the last one, let's have a drink first. This is specially brought by my wife from her hometown, self-brewed Rouge Red."

"Is that so." Hu Rongqiang said in surprise: "Then I must have a good taste, come, pour it quickly."

Shi Xiaomeng explained on the side: "Hu Ge is also from Yunnan Province, he has been here for years, hasn't gone back much."

"Isn't that so, so many years in this Beijing, I haven't drunk authentic Rouge Red."

Wu Di said: "Then Hu Ge must drink more."

Hu Rongqiang laughed enthusiastically: "Must drink more, today, let's not return until we're drunk, not return until we're drunk."

After everyone poured the wine, Shen Bing also brought the dishes out: "Dishes are coming, be careful."

Cheng Feng hurriedly helped move the dishes on the table: "Come, slow down, slow down."

Shen Bing gave Cheng Feng a sweet smile, and steadily placed the dishes in the vacated spot.

Just that one smile, Cheng Feng was stunned. He stayed there motionless, immersed in his imagination of a wife, children, and a warm bed.

Letting Shen Bing sit on the side, Shi Xiaomeng raised his glass and said: "That, I'll toast everyone. You guys are all my good brothers, good brothers, thanks for taking care of me, and also thank you guys for coming to support."

Wu Di said: "We're all our own brothers, why be so sentimental, come, drink, drink."

Hu Rongqiang also raised his glass: "It should be you taking care of me, today's order could be so smooth, it's all your credit."

Wang Yan said: "Meeting is fate, drink."

Cheng Feng was staring at the dish Shen Bing just brought... in a daze...

Wu Di on the side saw Cheng Feng didn't follow the formation, patted him: "Hey, Brother Feng. What are you thinking? Drink."

"Hmm? Ah... Come, come, drink, drink." Cheng Feng raised his head and looked at Shen Bing who was curiously looking at him opposite, and hurriedly shifted his gaze and raised his glass.

Everyone drank a glass together.

Shen Bing also raised her glass: "I also toast everyone, thank you for taking care of Xiaomeng."

"Ai, we're all our own brothers, should be, should be." Cheng Feng raised his glass, leaned over and touched it.

Wang Yan and the others also followed and drank another glass.

"Eat, eat." Putting down the glass, Shi Xiaomeng greeted the few: "Taste my wife's craftsmanship, give some comments."

Cheng Feng picked up a chopstick of the dish Shen Bing just brought, smacked his lips: "This is really delicious, what is this?"

Shi Xiaomeng took a look: "Red Three Chops, a famous dish from our place."

"This is done quite well, it's my first time eating this dish." Cheng Feng looked at Shen Bing: "This craftsmanship can completely open a restaurant. If you open a restaurant, I will definitely eat often."

Hu Rongqiang narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth, laughed: "Yes, yes. You two open it, and I and Young Master Cheng, oh, and Mr. Wang will also invest a share, the three of us provide the money."

"Of course no problem." Wang Yan also tasted it, second-level entry, couldn't be higher. Of course, he didn't say it like that, he laughed: "It's also my first time eating Yunnan cuisine, just this craftsmanship, opening a restaurant is completely fine."

"Yunnan cuisine in Beijing, I have really eaten it all." Hu Rongqiang said with emotion: "There is no restaurant that has the right taste, that is as authentic as yours."

【Stable running for many years novel app, comparable to the old version of the bug-chasing app, huanyuanapp.】

Shen Bing was a bit embarrassed by the praise: "It's not as powerful as Hu Ge said, I, just home-cooked level."

"Not exaggerated at all, go taste a few restaurants another day and you'll know." Hu Rongqiang waved his hand with a smile: "The taste of this Rouge Red is also right, let's drink more today, can't live up to the fine wine and food. Come, let's have a drink, haha..."

Wang Yan smiled and raised his glass to drink.

Rouge Red is a fruit wine brewed with white wine and some fruits from the Yunnan region, it has no strength. He has drunk so much wine, this one Shen Bing brought is just so-so. After all, if you want the wine to be really good, you still have to look at the quality of that white wine. Wang Yan tasted it just now, it'll do.

After everyone drank the wine, Shi Xiaomeng raised his glass and looked at Wang Yan: "Wang Ge, the two of us toast you, if it weren't for you, really don't know what to do."

"Xiaomeng, brother, I said when I entered the door, don't be so polite, it's too distant. Look, here it is again." Wang Yan said with a straight face: "You punish yourself one, otherwise I won't drink."

Another name for fruit wine is beverage, but no matter what, it's wine and not really a beverage, it will affect physical recovery to some extent. But it's not a big problem, so Wang Yan didn't say much. Besides, Shi Xiaomeng is an adult, he should have this sense of judgment. Wang Mouren is not his father, why say so much.

Shi Xiaomeng pretended to pat his face: "Look at me, Ge, I'll finish it." After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, then poured the wine again.

"Ai, this is right. Come, drink, you two don't need to say more, I know your intentions. Still the same sentence, meeting is fate, it's all in the wine, drink."

Since Wang Yan said so, what else could Shi Xiaomeng and Shen Bing say, they laughed and drank the wine.

Hu Rongqiang raised his glass again, looked at Wang Yan: "Mr. Wang, I also toast you, still want to thank you for helping Xiaomeng, our order could be so smooth."

"It's all small things, don't be polite, Boss Hu. In the future, if there's a chance, let's cooperate together."

"That would be great, I'm begging for it, then it's settled. I'll finish it, you do as you please."

Wang Yan didn't really do as he pleased, followed and drank it in one gulp.

"Hu Ge, I also toast you." Seeing the two finish drinking, Shi Xiaomeng took the wine bottle and poured it for Hu Rongqiang: "Hu Ge, that is, our project today is signed, I want to ask, that is, my, that bonus, no problem, right."

This sentence, paused four or five times, Shi Xiaomeng just wanted to let Hu Rongqiang point it out himself, after all, Chinese people are still shy about talking about interests in front of others. Who would have thought that Hu Rongqiang, this kid, didn't understand, just looked at Shi Xiaomeng with a smile and finished speaking.

Wang Yan ate silently, watching the play with his head down, he knew Hu Rongqiang wouldn't promise easily.

That Hu Rongqiang had a silly smile on his face, his eyes blinking, definitely had thoughts. Not to mention that he had already discovered Cheng Feng's little thoughts, even if there was no such thing, he wouldn't directly say affirmative words. After all, Shi Xiaomeng's eighty thousand bonus, logically it should have been given last year, but now, damn, a year is almost over, and it hasn't arrived yet, how could he give it readily.

In fact, the original intention of this meal today had changed because of his appearance. Originally it wasn't negotiated, and he wasn't sure, so he found Hu Rongqiang. Now it was negotiated, finding Hu Rongqiang was first to thank the fellow villager for taking care, and second, it was mainly to confirm, to implement the eighty thousand bonus. After all, if the money isn't in hand, it's always not solid.

"There shouldn't be a problem." I saw Hu Rongqiang's eyes turn, looked around at the others sitting, laughed: "Why are you in such a hurry for money, getting married, ah? Haha..."

"Ai, Boss Hu, can't say it like that." Wang Yan said faintly: "You say Xiaomeng ran from Yunnan to Beijing from so far away, what for? Isn't it just wanting to stay in Beijing? Wanting to stay in Beijing, what isn't money? Not to mention anything else, just that housing price, it's one look a day."

"Now people getting married all want a house, a car, a bride price, I see this girl Shen Bing doesn't look like that. But Xiaomeng as a man, can't wrong the girl, really want to get married, don't you have to buy a house and settle down first?"

"You say Xiaomeng works hard every day, what for if not for money? Don't let Xiaomeng work hard in the end, and get nothing, while you, Boss Hu, have cars, money, and girls. Boss Hu is still Xiaomeng's fellow villager, you must be kind."
