Chapter 149: Vomiting All Over His Face
Whether it's a man or a woman, crying is not a sin. Having a good cry is indeed a good way to relieve stress and vent emotions.
After squatting there and crying for a while, Shi Xiaomeng wiped his tears, stood up, and took a taxi to Zhongguancun.
According to the address, he found the office building where Wang Yan's company was located.
"Hello, I'm looking for Brother Wang."
The receptionist looked at the man in front of her in confusion: "Brother Wang?"
"Ah... oh... it's Wang Yan."
"Wang Zong? Are you Mr. Shi Xiaomeng?"
Shi Xiaomeng nodded.
"Follow me, Wang Zong has already given instructions; I'll take you to see him directly when you arrive."
Along the way, looking at the high-end office environment and the employees working seriously, it would be impossible for Shi Xiaomeng not to have thoughts.
After all, this environment was much better than Hu Rongqiang's. Since the environment was like this, the treatment definitely wouldn't be bad, not to mention that Brother Wang had personally invited him back then.
If he had accepted the invitation back then and come here to work, perhaps he wouldn't have encountered today's situation.
However, this thought flashed by in an instant. After all, the path was chosen by himself; kneeling or not aside, in the end, one cannot regret it.
Not long after, led by the receptionist, Shi Xiaomeng followed her to outside an office inside the company.
"Knock... knock... knock."
"Come in."
Hearing the voice from inside, the receptionist looked back at Shi Xiaomeng, signaled him to follow, turned, and pushed open the office door: "Wang Zong, Mr. Shi is here."
Wang Yan, who was working at his desk, looked up and stood up: "Okay, you go get busy."
The receptionist nodded politely at Shi Xiaomeng and turned to leave.
"Xiaomeng, what are you standing there for? Come over and sit."
Wang Yan pointed to the tea table by the window.
"Hey, okay, Brother." Shi Xiaomeng came back to his senses, responded, went over, and sat down.
Stretching, Wang Yan sat opposite him and fiddled with the tea set: "Why, have you thought it through?"
This time he didn't get a couple of little thugs to follow and monitor him, because Shi Xiaomeng would always find him; after all, he had no other choice, right?
Shi Xiaomeng nodded and pondered: "Brother, I urgently need a sum of money now. I really have no other way, and after thinking about it, I could only come to you." It had reached this point, and he had nothing to be coy about; he would say whatever there was to say.
"Money is easy to talk about, I'm more concerned about what happened to you." Wang Yan looked up at Shi Xiaomeng. He hadn't noticed before, but looking now, his eyes were a bit red, and he shook his head: "It seems this isn't a good place to talk about things."
Seeing Wang Yan staring at his eyes, Shi Xiaomeng knew his crying had been seen, and couldn't help but blush a little: "I've made you laugh, Brother Wang."
"You haven't eaten this morning yet, right? It's almost noon, let's find a place to drink and talk." After tidying up the tea set, Wang Yan stood up: "Let's go."
Shi Xiaomeng followed Wang Yan downstairs in a daze; he hadn't recovered yet.
Wang Yan drove Shi Xiaomeng to Donglaishun. The weather was getting colder, so it was just right to eat something hot; he hadn't eaten it for a long time either.
Arriving at the place, they ordered food and called for two bottles of Hongxing Erguotou. If you want to be clear-headed, this is the stuff; it just suits Shi Xiaomeng.
Sure enough, at first Shi Xiaomeng was very reserved, but after three taels of wine, he started to get red-faced and red-eyed, talking to Wang Yan about his recent hardships.
"Brother, you've seen Hu Rongqiang, that bastard is really not a thing, a pure bastard..."
"You don't even know, Brother, how bad he is. Just to cut off my path, the 80,000 bonus he promised before, he only gave 30,000 in the end. Saying he had no money, saying the company's performance wasn't good, it's all damn bullshit. He was just afraid I'd come to you, that's why he gave 30,000. If it weren't for you, Brother, he definitely wouldn't have given me a cent. It's the first time I've known that giving money can have so many twists and turns."
"And also, that damn Hu Rongqiang..."
Shi Xiaomeng rambled on about how Hu Rongqiang wasn't a thing, while Wang Yan listened to the story and drank, eating three plates of meat...
"Brother, do you know what makes me feel the most uncomfortable?"
"What?"
"My good buddy, good brother, the one who ate at my house last time, Cheng Feng, you know him, Brother. He actually... he actually likes our Shen Bing, our girl. You tell me, is he still a person, Brother?"
"And he even told me to leave Shen Bing, saying I could name any condition, and he would exchange everything he had with me. Oh... that was earlier today, before I called you."
"Yes, he has money, I can't compare. Is having money so great? What's so damn great about having money? Can you do whatever you want if you have money? Can you trample on others wantonly?"
"And I damn well licked his face to ask him for advertising?"
Shi Xiaomeng raised his glass and finished the two taels of wine, slamming the glass heavily on the table: "I was really damn obsessed."
"This world is too dark, Brother. You say, should we ordinary people, honest people, be poor? Should we be played with like this? You say, why am I having such a hard time? Brother..."
"I've studied hard since I was a child..."
Shi Xiaomeng choked up, counting the bits and pieces from when he could remember until now, crying his heart out. These words had been suppressed in his heart for too long, too long; today he wanted to say them all out, he really couldn't hold on anymore.
He spoke miserably and sadly, but Wang Yan, as the listener, had no empathy. After all, having experienced so many things and seen so much life and death, he naturally took joys and sorrows lightly; he wasn't cold-hearted, but it was close enough.
"Do you hate them?"
Hearing Wang Yan's question, Shi Xiaomeng didn't give an answer easily, but shook his head and stared blankly without speaking.
After a long time, Shi Xiaomeng finished his wine again, grinning foolishly: "Brother, I won't hide it from you, it's impossible to say I don't hate. But..."
"But, Brother, what do I hate? Hate Hu Rongqiang's conspiracy, or hate Cheng Feng for coveting my girlfriend?" Shi Xiaomeng wiped his tears, seemingly carefree: "In the end, it's my own incompetence; the one I should hate the most is myself."
Wang Yan nodded. If one really had to talk about Hu Rongqiang's methods, they might be despicable, but there were plenty of people even more despicable; it was just Shi Xiaomeng's misfortune to run into it.
"Come, Xiaomeng, eat more meat. After drinking so much wine, you can't hold on without something in your stomach."
"Brother... then that..."
Shi Xiaomeng had drunk nearly a catty of Hongxing Erguotou, and his emotions were still unstable; in fact, he was already drunk. It was just that he hadn't received a definite answer from Wang Yan, so he was worried and just holding on.
"Of course, no problem. In a while, give me your card number, and I'll transfer it directly to your card." Wang Yan ate meat happily: "As for the job, don't work there anymore. After we finish eating, I'll accompany you to find Hu Rongqiang to handle the resignation procedures, and work for me from now on."
Shi Xiaomeng waved his hand, shaking his head in a daze: "No need, Brother Wang, I can do it myself, no problem."
"You just stop it, don't let Hu Rongqiang fool you again with a few words." Wang Yan said: "Okay, that's settled. Eat more meat, and we'll go over in a while."
Wang Yan accompanied Shi Xiaomeng to eat and drink for a long time, not finishing until after one o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Xiaomeng drank quite a bit more later; he had had over a catty of Hongxing Erguotou. Looking at the residue on his collar, he had already vomited once.
Being drunk is quite good; although many people say it's cowardly and escapist. But after being drunk, when you look back, you will find that the world is far from as bad as you imagined when you were discouraged, and you have gained some courage to face it.
Wang Yan also intended to let Shi Xiaomeng get drunk, relax well, and vent; it was quite good.
Watching Shi Xiaomeng, who was nodding and swaying while sitting there, Wang Yan waved to call the waiter to pay the bill, carried Shi Xiaomeng into the car, and let the designated driver drive to Hu's Advertising.
The car drove for more than half an hour, and it was already past two o'clock when they arrived.
Letting the designated driver wait in the car, Wang Yan woke up the dazed Shi Xiaomeng and took him upstairs.
Shi Xiaomeng was so drunk he didn't know what was going on now; being able to follow Wang Yan was already quite good.
"Xiaomeng? What's wrong with you?" A colleague saw Shi Xiaomeng's state and stepped forward enthusiastically to support him: "Oh my, why did you drink so much? You tell me, oh my..."
Shi Xiaomeng's popularity here was still okay; except for being a bit stingy, others couldn't say what was wrong with Shi Xiaomeng. They had also seen how Dade's affairs had forced Shi Xiaomeng recently. Although there was inevitably a mentality of eating melons, they were all working for others, so there was always a sense of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"; after all, no one could guarantee they wouldn't be the next Shi Xiaomeng, and no one could guarantee they wouldn't be in the future.
Wang Yan looked at the enthusiastic employee: "Let me ask, where is Hu Rongqiang?"
"He's in the general manager's office inside." This guy also had a fast mouth, and only realized something was wrong after blurting it out. This person bringing the drunk Shi Xiaomeng over looked like he was looking for trouble, so he immediately asked: "I don't know who you are..."
"Handling a resignation for Xiaomeng." Wang Yan pulled Shi Xiaomeng: "I'll support him, you go get busy."
After speaking, Wang Yan carried Shi Xiaomeng and walked toward Hu Rongqiang's office inside.
Along the way, the employees who were slacking off looked at this combination, smelled the heavy smell of alcohol floating in the air, and started talking to each other.
"Isn't that Xiaomeng?"
"Yeah, why did he drink like this?"
"Who is that person? He's really strong."
"Indeed, Xiaomeng is at least 120, and he's carrying him with one hand."
"Hey, are you guys focusing on the wrong thing? This is clearly someone coming with bad intentions."
One or two people whispered, and when they gathered together, it was a buzzing sound.
Wang Yan didn't care about the noisy onlookers, found the office with the general manager's doorplate, and pushed the door open and walked in.
Greeting Wang Yan was a clattering sound, followed by the rustling sound of tidying clothes, and: "What's going on? Don't you know how to knock when you come in..."
Hu Rongqiang looked at the person in front of him, and the drunk Shi Xiaomeng behind him, his face changed, and he said: "Oh, Wang Zong? Sit down, sit down. Nana, what are you standing there for, go pour tea."
Nana on the side was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly walked out.
"Wang Zong didn't say hello in advance when coming over, so I could prepare in advance. It's rude, it's rude, haha..." As if he had just seen Shi Xiaomeng, Hu Rongqiang was surprised for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward two steps: "Oh, Xiaomeng? How much did you drink? Wang Zong, I don't know this is..."
Wang Yan put Shi Xiaomeng on the chair: "Nothing else, just here to help Xiaomeng handle a resignation."
"Resignation?" Hu Rongqiang's fat face paused, and he frowned: "Why resign?"
As he spoke, Hu Rongqiang knew Wang Yan couldn't answer him, so he stepped forward and shook Shi Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng? Wake up, wake up, hey. Look, it's me, I'm your Brother Hu."
The dazed Shi Xiaomeng was shaken until he couldn't take it anymore and opened his eyes.
Originally he had drunk quite a bit and was feeling uncomfortable, and after being shaken a few times, his stomach surged even more. Looking at the disgusting big fat face in front of him, he really couldn't hold it back, and with a "vomit," he took a mouthful at Hu Rongqiang...
Caught off guard, Hu Rongqiang was vomited all over his face, and there was even some taste in his open mouth...
He was stunned on the spot for a moment, his mind went blank, and he couldn't say a word. Because as soon as he opened his mouth, there was... at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, I'm sorry."
After Shi Xiaomeng finished vomiting, he stepped forward and used his hand to wipe the vomit on Hu Rongqiang's face, wanting to help him wipe it clean.
Just then, Nana opened the door and walked in with tea, looking at the scene in front of her: "Shi Xiaomeng! What have you done?" As she spoke, she was about to go up and kick Shi Xiaomeng away.
Wang Yan looked at her indifferently: "Quiet, okay?"
Nana had the heart to throw a tantrum, but looking at Wang Yan's emotionless eyes, and Hu Rongqiang's attitude before, she finally quieted down. With a disgusted expression on her face, she looked at Hu Rongqiang and Shi Xiaomeng, glared at Wang Yan, put down the tea indignantly, turned around, and went out again; she was going to find something to wipe Hu Rongqiang.
Shi Xiaomeng was wiping Hu Rongqiang's face back and forth with "slap, slap, slap," and was still speaking eloquently: "Brother Hu, I've always treated you like my own brother. How could you do this? You're really a damn bastard. I have to say, you're really damn good at calculating. But you didn't expect it, I heard it all today, heard it clearly. You said..."
In the end, Shi Xiaomeng added: "You're really my good brother, huh? Brother Hu, hahaha..."
Wang Yan, who was watching the fun on the side, laughed and said: "Boss Hu, do you understand now?"
Hu Rongqiang, who had been outputted by Shi Xiaomeng, had already come back to his senses, and he had also heard Shi Xiaomeng's words. He hurriedly pushed Shi Xiaomeng away, turned his head, and glared at Wang Yan, who was standing up for Shi Xiaomeng: "Wang Yan, leave a line for people to walk on when doing things."
As he spoke, he felt the residue at the corner of his mouth and the smell lingering at the tip of his nose, and he began to retch in disgust.
Supporting Shi Xiaomeng, who couldn't stand steadily and kept retreating, he pushed him to the side in disgust. Wang Yan had the heart to go up and slap Hu Rongqiang, or kick him, but after looking at the mess on his body, he finally gave up.
He personally coming out was originally to let Shi Xiaomeng feel the warmth of the world, or simply to bring Shi Xiaomeng over to act tough in a not-so-elegant way, hitting faces and other vulgar plots.
But he didn't expect Shi Xiaomeng to be so good at timing, vomiting all over Hu Rongqiang's face. Although this was a bit disgusting, it was more powerful and satisfying than the tough act he brought him to perform. Just looking at Hu Rongqiang's angry yet disgusted expression, he knew Shi Xiaomeng's move was very successful.
Nana, who had just run out, ran back in with water, paper, and other things. Enduring the disgust, she ran to Hu Rongqiang's side and helped him wipe.
Shi Xiaomeng looked very angry on the side, but he laughed loudly at Hu Rongqiang, who was retching constantly. Swaying as he got up, he went to Nana's side, took paper and water, and cleaned himself up.
Although Shi Xiaomeng was also disgusted with himself, he was still wiping his hands in a disgusting way, turned his head, and grinned foolishly at Wang Yan, who was watching the fun on the side: "Brother... hehe... it's damn satisfying, that damn Hu Rongqiang..." ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
