Chapter 154: Parting on Bad Terms

~16 min read 3,113 words

"How was your day today?" Shen Bing handed the bowl of rice to Shi Xiaomeng and asked: "How did Brother Wang arrange you?"

"I don't have experience, Brother Wang said before to let me learn for a period of time, and today he arranged me under a vice president of the company. How about you, how was it? Did you resign?"

Hearing this, the color of Shen Bing's face as she lowered her head to eat changed a bit, because when she went to resign today, the kindergarten director told her. Although not comprehensive, she also knew that the reason she could work in that kindergarten was entirely because Cheng Feng donated a sum of money...

Shen Bing pondered for a moment. For the sake of emotional harmony and to let Shi Xiaomeng worry less, she still didn't say these things: "Hmm, already resigned. I'll go find a job tomorrow if I'm fine."

Shi Xiaomeng nodded: "Resigned is good, resigned is good. No need to be too anxious to find a job, you can find it slowly, don't force yourself too much."

"Don't worry, I know." Shen Bing said casually, only then did she react, looked up at Shi Xiaomeng and asked: "How much is the salary Brother Wang gave?"

Shi Xiaomeng couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth: "Guess?"

Seeing him like this, Shen Bing knew it must be higher than the original one. To let her own man be satisfied, she cooperated and guessed: "Ten thousand?"

After speaking, she looked at Shi Xiaomeng, who had no reaction, was stunned for a moment, and guessed again: "It wouldn't be fifteen thousand, right?"

"Twenty thousand, girl, still after tax, not only that, according to Brother Wang, the treatment is also full." Shi Xiaomeng laughed happily and shared the joy with the woman he loved most.

"So high?" Shen Bing's movements paused, and she pondered: "Xiaomeng, is it Brother Wang taking care of..."

"Of course he is taking care of me. Otherwise, with my little experience and not knowing much, whether I could enter Brother Wang's company is a problem."

Shi Xiaomeng had also been in the company all afternoon and had some understanding of the company. The simplest thing was that the company was expanding, and in less than a month, it had expanded from a hundred or eighty people before to several hundred now. Most of these people had industry experience, their academic qualifications were not low, and if they were low, they must have specialties. There was no one like him, so it wasn't Brother Wang's care?

"But twenty thousand, wouldn't it be too..."

"I also think it's too much, I wanted to refuse at the time, but Brother Wang made the final decision directly, and I didn't have room to speak." Shi Xiaomeng sighed: "Girl, Brother Wang is really my benefactor. My ability is limited, now it seems that all I can do is work hard, not let down Brother Wang's kindness, and not let him down."

Shen Bing nodded and didn't say anything more, then asked: "Then this treatment is full... what does it mean?"

"Hey, I didn't understand at first, later it was explained by the HR who handled the entry for me." Shi Xiaomeng picked up a dish and covered it on the rice: "It means that the upper limit stipulated by law is where it is given, and there are quite a few subsidies for food, housing, commuting, etc."

"Is that so? So good? Do all employees in Brother Wang's company have it?"

Shi Xiaomeng nodded: "All have it, said that internet companies are all like this, but Brother Wang's company should be the best in terms of treatment at present."

"How are they subsidized?"

"It's food..." Shi Xiaomeng talked about those benefits and so on, not comprehensively, after all, there were many benefits, and he couldn't say it clearly for a while. When talking about housing subsidies, he said: "We rent a house for two thousand a month now, and the company's housing subsidy can cover half, which means our rent will only be one thousand in the future."

Shen Bing's brain turned rapidly, and she tentatively said: "Does it cover half no matter how much? Are there any restrictions?"

"We can think of it, can they not think of it? Of course there is an upper limit, I didn't remember how much, and didn't go to remember. It's enough to have so much, can't be too greedy."

Picking some dishes for her, Shi Xiaomeng said: "The money I earn now is enough for us to live very well, so, girl, you don't have to be too anxious to find a job. You can find it slowly, it's not too late to work when you meet a suitable one."

"Okay." Shen Bing nodded and smiled sweetly: "Eat more meat."

Shi Xiaomeng laughed and ate big mouthfuls of rice.

After passing this hurdle and having no more annoying things, this life is really happy and really has something to look forward to.

Just then, there was a "clatter... clatter..." knocking sound at the door. The two looked at each other, and Shen Bing said: "Don't move, I'll go take a look."

As she spoke, she stood up and shouted at the door that was knocking non-stop: "Stop knocking, coming, coming."

Hurrying two steps, she opened the door and saw the person at the door: "Oh, Lin Xia? Why are you here? Come in, come in."

"Look at your surprised look, can't I come?" Lin Xia closed the door and walked into the room: "Where's Xiaomeng?"

Before Shen Bing could answer, during the time of speaking, she had already walked inside: "Oh, eating?"

Shi Xiaomeng didn't be polite: "Lin Xia, have you eaten? If not, just eat together, that... girl, take another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Lin Xia waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, no need, I'll just sit for a while and leave."

"Since you're here, eat a bite. Besides, the place where you work is not close, you came here right after get off work, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Shen Bing took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table: "And we've known each other for so long, you haven't tasted my craft yet. Don't stand, sit down."

They weren't strangers, and the couple was quite enthusiastic, so what else could Lin Xia say? Eat a bite then. So she didn't be coy, took off her thick cotton-padded jacket and put it aside, sat at the table and started eating.

"Hmm, this is also delicious. Didn't expect Shen Bing's craft to be so good, Xiaomeng, you're lucky, where can you find such a good wife, can't bully our Shen Bing."

Lin Xia picked up a dish and tasted the taste, giving Shen Bing a thumbs up, praising endlessly.

Being recognized for her cooking, Shen Bing pursed her lips happily: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's just some home-cooked dishes."

Shi Xiaomeng turned the page on the side: "Just eat your meal, I cherish our girl, don't need you to say it."

"Hehe." Lin Xia didn't mind, eating and talking with Shen Bing, and unknowingly made two bowls of rice...

After helping to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Xia sat on the chair and drank hot water comfortably.

"Nothing else tonight, right?"

"Nothing, what's wrong?" Shen Bing looked at Lin Xia in confusion.

"Just staying at home is quite boring, why don't you two go play with me?"

Shen Bing and Shi Xiaomeng looked at each other: "Where are you going?"

"Our bar is celebrating its anniversary today, there are lucky draws, and free drinks and discounts, let's go play together, it's lively."

"Neither of us likes that kind of environment, Xiaomeng has to go to work tomorrow, so forget it. In a few days when you have time, I'll make a table of dishes, let's eat at home, how about it?"

Shen Bing knew Lin Xia's relationship with Cheng Feng, so there was no need to think about this kind of thing, she must have called Cheng Feng. Then what were they going for, it was awkward.

"No way? You two? I specially came to find you two, don't be so boring. Let's go, let's go be lively together."

Shi Xiaomeng on the side said: "It's too late, forget it. To tell you the truth, Lin Xia, I just changed jobs today, tomorrow is officially the first day of work. It's not good if I'm late. Let's have a chance in the future."

"Changed jobs? So suddenly?" Lin Xia was surprised, but she didn't care much. It was just that now that both people said so, if she stayed, it would be ignorant: "Fine... then let's find a chance to gather in a few days."

Shen Bing looked at her apologetically: "Really sorry, Lin Xia."

"Hey, it's okay, the main thing today is this matter. Now that you two aren't going, then I won't disturb you, leaving."

"Stay a while longer, came from so far."

Lin Xia stood up, put on her clothes, and wrapped her scarf: "In the future, I'm going over to your house, it's about to start over there too. I'm the lead singer, don't delay it. Leaving, bye-bye."

"I'll see you off."

Seeing both people stand up, Lin Xia waved her hand: "Forget it, not outsiders, sit, bye-bye."

Lin Xia came suddenly and left decisively.

Shi Xiaomeng and Shen Bing smiled at each other. Outside, the cold wind was biting, and inside the house, it was dry wood and raging fire. The moisture brought by the cold wind spread on the window and froze into frost, and the heat inside the house attacked, condensing into water...

Waving to call a taxi, Lin Xia sat in the back row thinking about who to find to support the scene and be lively.

After a while, she took out her phone and called Yang Zixi. After thinking about it, she was the one who was relatively idle.

Although she sometimes looked down on Yang Zixi, thinking she was snobbish and liked to show off, but they had known each other for many years, and they were very good sisters when they were in college. Besides, Yang Zixi wasn't materialistic to her, except for being a bit annoying, everything else was fine, and the two could chat; after all, the emotional foundation was there.

Yang Zixi had nothing to do, and Wang Yan didn't go, so she was called from here, and she just went out to show off a bit. So she didn't refuse and happily accepted Lin Xia's invitation.

After settling Yang Zixi, Lin Xia then called Wu Di. She knew too well how things were over the years; hearing that Yang Zixi was coming, Wu Di would likely come too, unless he was too busy.

Wu Di was drinking outside with his new boss, a charming woman named Wu Mei who was his brother's ex-girlfriend.

Receiving Lin Xia's call, Wu Di considered it and agreed. Since the last meeting, he already knew Yang Zixi's recent situation, and he missed Yang Zixi even more. After all, in his cognition, his little Xixi still had him in her heart. So he still thought about striving for it; even if they couldn't be together, he had to try his best to persuade Yang Zixi to get out of the sea of suffering.

After all, being kept... it's not good to say, and it's not even as strong as being said to be for money when she was dating Andy before. Although he knew Wang Yan was a young man, not those greasy middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. But in the public's impression, those who can keep others are those who have reached a certain age and are successful, and those who keep mistresses outside.

So Wu Di very decisively left Wu Mei to accompany the client, apologized, and left.

Wu Di was also settled, and Lin Xia finally called her beloved Crazy One.

Cheng Feng was miserable. He privately modified the contract today, operated in violation of regulations, and even forged his father's name. As a result, it wasn't needed at all, and in the afternoon, he also received a call from the kindergarten director, saying that Shen Bing had resigned. Cheng Feng instantly felt his colorful world fade, leaving only black and white.

And because of his operation, his father, that old bastard, was so angry that his heart was thumping, and he kept calling him, telling him to roll back quickly. If it weren't for the quick-acting heart-saving pill being magical, his father would almost have had a heart attack and died in the house of thousands of square meters.

Hearing Lin Xia's call saying to drink and be lively, it happened to hit his heart. So he didn't care about Lin Xia, who was a bit annoying, and drove directly to the bar where Lin Xia was singing. He had things in his heart, and it was his problem; he was embarrassed to tell others, and his father was waiting to scold him at home, so drinking some wine to get high was just right.

In the bar, except for Shi Xiaomeng, everyone else was in place.

Wu Di watched Cheng Feng blow a bottle of wine: "Where are Xiaomeng and Shen Bing? Why didn't they come? Lin Xia, didn't you call them?"

"Why didn't I call?" Lin Xia handed Cheng Feng a paper box,

"This is being exploited, and it's also because of the advertising matter that I've troubled Crazy; he's finally changed that lousy job of his. I said before that he should have left that company sooner." Wu Di drank a glass of wine and glanced at Yang Zixi, who was blinking her large eyes: "Hey, that's not right. He changed jobs, so why didn't he tell me? No, I have to call and ask him."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and called Shi Xiaomeng. Because it was quite noisy, he shouted a couple of sentences and then hung up.

Cheng Feng asked: "What did he say?"

"The same thing he told Lin Xia, asking me to eat when I'm free." Wu Di looked at him: "Are you and Crazy okay now?"

"Hmm? It's fine. Come, drink, drink."

Following that, the group didn't say much of anything, just watching Cheng Feng chug wine bottle after bottle.

The group, who understood Cheng Feng, couldn't help but realize that something was wrong with him. It's just that they couldn't get anything out of him by asking; Cheng Feng kept saying it was nothing, yet he kept chugging bottle after bottle.

Lin Xia had no time to pay attention to the others, as she was there taking care of Cheng Feng with a heart full of heartache.

Yang Zixi watched Cheng Feng chug wine, and Lin Xia had no time to pay attention to her either. Wu Di... forget it, he had just happily shown off a couple of days ago, and since she couldn't find anyone to talk to, there was no point in her staying here. After staying for a while, she completely ignored Wu Di's reluctant little glances, said a word, and left.

Once she left, Wu Di felt there was no point anymore. Damn it, he had left Wu Mei there to entertain clients, and this was what he got when he arrived here?

"No, Crazy, what is actually wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about it. Come, drink with me."

This couldn't go on like this. Wu Di patted Cheng Feng: "Hey, Crazy, let me tell you something. I was stunned when I found out at the time. The world is truly small."

This habit of not finishing a sentence was truly damn annoying. The heartbroken and grieving Cheng Feng was no exception. He frowned and said: "Can you finish what you're saying in one breath?"

Wu Di took the wine from Cheng Feng's hand, placed it on the table, and looked at the others: "Didn't Lin Xia talk about Zixi's matter before? Zixi came to find me two days ago. Guess who the person she's with now is?"

Cheng Feng said impatiently: "Can you be quick about it? I'm getting anxious here."

Wu Di didn't mind and slowly spat out two words: "Wang Yan."

Seeing Cheng Feng freeze for a moment, Wu Di gave a bitter smile: "Didn't expect that, right? I didn't either. Not only that, I just called Xiaomeng, and the new job he found was arranged by Wang Yan, at his company."

This feeling of taking one's own pain and letting others watch it as something fresh wasn't good. But who told him to be a good brother who was suffering? He was used to being hurt anyway, so it didn't matter. He was even moved by himself; if there were an award for China's Best Brother, it would definitely be his.

"The one from Xiaomeng's place last time? The one person?"

"Who else could it be but him."

"Damn, how is he everywhere? Damn it, that Wang guy is really not a decent person." Hearing Wang Yan's name again, Cheng Feng felt even more damn uncomfortable, so he picked up the wine on the table and started drinking again.

Before Wu Di could ask, Lin Xia interjected: "Wait, who is Wang Yan?"

Fatty Si, who had always lacked presence, also said: "Yeah, who is he?"

"It's just that Xiaomeng saved a child before..." Wu Di talked about Wang Yan's affairs and said to Cheng Feng: "No, why is your reaction so big? How did Wang Yan provoke you? You aren't even close to him."

Cheng Feng didn't pay them any mind at all, just chugging wine for his life. How the hell was he supposed to say it? Say he was coveting Shi Xiaomeng's girlfriend? Say he was deliberately dragging Shi Xiaomeng along for the sake of something unspeakable in his heart? Say that Wang Yan's appearance had disrupted his original plans?

Seeing this, the others felt it was somewhat pointless, but it wasn't easy to leave. After Cheng Feng had drunk enough, they parted on bad terms.

Originally, Lin Xia wanted to stay and take good care of Cheng Feng, but Wu Di, that oblivious guy, insisted on finding a designated driver to send him back...

That night, Cheng Feng's father, Cheng Shengen, was admitted to the hospital.
