Chapter 157

Cheng Feng had been holding it in for too long, too much. After this wave of rambling output, he found a place to sit down, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for air.

Wu Di hadn't expected Cheng Feng's reaction to be so intense. He had been aggressive just a moment ago, and now he had been drained of all energy.

However, thinking of what Cheng Feng said, his anger rose again.

Walking up to Cheng Feng, who was sitting there, in two or three steps, Wu Di said loudly: "Cheng Feng? Do you not treat me as a buddy at all? Huh? What do you mean I have no right? What do you mean what does it have to do with me?"

Cheng Feng didn't even lift his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Wu Di didn't want to bother with him anymore; damn, his good intentions had been fed to the dogs.

"Xiaomeng's words were very absolute, there's basically no room for maneuver. What should have happened has happened, saying anything more is useless. Think about it yourself, I'm leaving."

After finishing his words, Wu Di turned and left.

"Wang Laowu!"

Seeing him stop, Cheng Feng said: "I was just angry for a moment, you know me, I talk without thinking, don't take it to heart. I said the wrong thing, I apologize to you, is it okay if I admit I was wrong? Don't hold it against me, Wang Laowu?"

Wu Di turned back to look at him: "Alright, I didn't take it to heart. We've been brothers for so many years, how could I not know what you're like? I didn't take it seriously at all, don't overthink it, I'm leaving."

"Wait, come back first."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Cheng Feng looked up and asked: "What did Xiaomeng say to you today?"

"You..." Wu Di shook his head and sat down next to him: "He said..." Then, he told Cheng Feng the first half of their meal that night.

"Is there really no room at all?" Cheng Feng rubbed his head in frustration: "Wang Laowu, you know, I usually put brothers first. Now that things have reached this point, I'm not a person, I'm a bastard, I admit it. It's just that although I like Shen Bing very much, I love Shen Bing very much, but I don't want to lose Xiaomeng as a buddy, as a friend."

"You don't know, didn't I help arrange Shen Bing's kindergarten job before? She even quit that job, so now all the pressure is on Xiaomeng. They just bought a house, there's rent, there's a mortgage, how hard it is."

"So I was thinking of seeing if I could compensate Xiaomeng in other ways, but that Wang guy seems to be good to him, I guess he doesn't need me. Then... can we think of a way to let Shen Bing go back to the kindergarten to continue working?"

Actually, he was rambling on, but there was only one point: to let Shen Bing return to work at the kindergarten so he could go and see that face he dreamed of day and night, see that smiling face that kept him tossing and turning. As for the rest, what compensation, what brother, screw that, did he lack that? Wanting to repair the relationship was just to make it more convenient to approach Shen Bing. As for other feelings, even if you raise a cat or dog for a long time, you have...

Under Cheng Feng's expectant gaze, Wu Di shook his head and sighed: "You don't need to count on this, there's an eighty percent chance it's a no-go..."

He didn't know Cheng Feng's thoughts. On the contrary, he was quite happy that Cheng Feng could think this way; at least he had shown an attitude, hadn't he?

"Why? Why is it a no-go?"

"You said it yourself, Wang Yan is good to Xiaomeng. But do you know how good?" Without waiting for Cheng Feng to ask, Wu Di continued: "The salary Wang Yan pays Xiaomeng is twenty thousand after tax, plus all kinds of food and housing subsidies, commuting subsidies, and so on. In terms of benefits, the conditions Wang Yan offered can be said to be the only one in the country. The money Xiaomeng earns now is completely enough for him and Shen Bing to live very well, he doesn't need you at all."

"Isn't he afraid of losing money?"

Cheng Feng knew the salary and benefits of Dade's employees. Not to mention anything else, even Fatty Four, whom he had arranged to get in, only earned less than ten thousand yuan, and apart from the normal social security contributions, there were basically no other fancy benefits.

After saying this, Cheng Feng realized, what the hell did it have to do with him whether that Wang idiot lost money or not?

He hurriedly coughed and said: "It's not that I look down on Xiaomeng, but he was originally a salesperson for a small advertising company, and he also did advertising design part-time. He has absolutely no internet industry experience, what can he do?"

"They said they found a Assistant Regional Commander manager and asked him to be an assistant, to learn first, and then arrange things later."

"Hmm... that Wang guy is indeed good to Xiaomeng. Wang Laowu, do you have any other ideas?"

Cheng Feng was surprised by Wang Yan's cultivation of Shi Xiaomeng, giving a nobody a Assistant Regional Commander manager to teach him. It was just that this Wang idiot was really damn annoying, he was everywhere, why was he so damn eyesore?

It was just that he couldn't say that in front of Wu Di, and he had long since cursed Shi Xiaomeng and Wang Yan to the heavens in his heart.

"Where would I have any ideas?" Wu Di got up, patted his butt, twisted his neck, and stretched: "Oh... you think of your own ideas. I stayed up all night yesterday, and drank some wine with Xiaomeng in the evening, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going back to sleep. You should also pay attention to rest, don't let your father not be taken care of, and then you collapse yourself."

"Alright, don't drive, find a designated driver."

"I know, I'm leaving."

Watching Wu Di walk away, Cheng Feng sat by himself for a while before returning to the ward.

"What big thing did you talk about? Why did it take so long?"

"Nothing, just chatting." Cheng Feng sat beside Lin Xia and found her eyes were a little red, frowned and asked: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"My eyes were uncomfortable just now, I rubbed them myself."

"We're in the hospital, if you're uncomfortable, go see a doctor, why are you rubbing them blindly? Let's go, let's go take a look." As he spoke, Cheng Feng pulled her and was about to leave.

Lin Xia hurriedly pulled him back: "Oh, sit down, it's already fine."

"Really fine?"

"Really, sit down."

Cheng Feng looked at Lin Xia, confirmed there was no problem, and sat down again.

Lin Xia leaned over, hugged his arm, and rested on his shoulder: "Madman..."

"Hmm?"

"You're so good..."

"When was I not good?"

Cheng Feng didn't see the tears sliding down Lin Xia's eyes as she rested on his shoulder...

…………

Shi Xiaomeng and Wu Di didn't eat for long, because ever since he finished saying "go our separate ways, and we'll never see each other again," the meal was basically over. Later, it was just that Wu Di couldn't leave, and it happened that there was the matter of his most respected Brother Wang keeping Yang Zixi, so they barely finished the meal.

Truth be told, it could be considered an unhappy parting.

However, Shi Xiaomeng didn't care. Except for feeling disgusted when talking about Cheng Feng, overall, he felt pretty good, even though Wu Di, that big idiot, was being played like a dog by Yang Zixi.

But seriously, even if Wu Di was his good buddy, after knowing that he really couldn't be persuaded and there was no saving him, he still had the thought of watching the fun... gossiping is inevitable, especially this kind of little happiness built on other people's pain; even a brother can't stop him from watching the fun.

After drinking a little wine, Shi Xiaomeng happily took the bus, transferred twice, and returned to the residential area where he rented.

When he was swaying his way home, he even hummed a little tune.

Because he had been drinking, he was a bit unsteady, and the sound of his footsteps was quite loud when he went upstairs. Plus, the building was old and the soundproofing was poor, so Shen Bing, who had been waiting for a long time in the room, heard the movement, ran to the door, opened it, and saw Shi Xiaomeng fumbling for his keys.

"Girl."

Seeing Shen Bing standing prettily at the door, Shi Xiaomeng smiled and went up to hug her.

"Oh, you smell like alcohol, it's disgusting." Shen Bing pushed Shi Xiaomeng away in disgust: "Come in quickly, hurry up and wash up, the smell is too strong."

"Oh..."

Responding, Shi Xiaomeng entered the room, and with Shen Bing's help, took off his clothes and washed up...

Holding Shen Bing, whose blush hadn't faded, Shi Xiaomeng played with her hair.

"How's work? Are you adapting?"

"Don't mention it, I thought it was very simple before, who knew that the Assistant Regional Commander manager would give me a pile of reports that I couldn't understand at all."

"Then what should we do?"

"Ask, of course." Shi Xiaomeng laughed proudly: "I, I just take advantage of when others..."

After the two of them muttered about work for a while, Shi Xiaomeng asked: "Did you go looking for work today?"

"I did." Shen Bing said: "I interviewed at two places, both were quite good, I'm thinking of looking around some more."

Although the school she graduated from wasn't very good and didn't have much fame, Shen Bing's own conditions were quite good. Not only was she young, but she was also good-looking enough, and she had practical teaching experience. For a private kindergarten, a player like her was still very popular.

"Hmm, looking around more is good too." Shi Xiaomeng nodded, thinking of what his Brother Wang said this morning, and said: "Hey, girl."

"Hmm?"

"I was drinking tea with Brother Wang this morning, and he asked about you. He said he could arrange for you to join the company, it doesn't matter if you don't know how, he'll arrange for someone to bring you along. What do you think?"

Shen Bing looked up in surprise: "Did he really say that?"

"Of course, could that be fake? How about it, girl, do you want to go?"

"Hmm..." Shen Bing pondered: "Forget it, Brother Wang has already helped us a lot, we can't always trouble him, right? And I still prefer being with the children, I'm so happy every day watching them jump around. You thank Brother Wang on my behalf tomorrow, as for looking for work, I'll just look slowly."

"Alright, then it's up to you."

"I saw today..."

The two of them leaned against each other, chatting aimlessly about this and that...

The next day, Wang Yan arrived at the company early as usual.

"Dong... dong... dong"

Just as he was fiddling with a pot of tea he had just brewed, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

As the words fell, he saw Shi Xiaomeng's head poke in at the door.

"What are you doing poking your head in? Come in."

Shi Xiaomeng grinned, walked in, closed the door, and consciously sat down opposite Wang Yan: "I was just afraid you were busy."

If you were afraid I was busy, you shouldn't have knocked on the door, damn it. Ignoring the nonsense, Wang Yan poured him a cup of tea: "You came just in time, I just brewed this tea."

Shi Xiaomeng, once bitten by a snake, was afraid of being scalded every day, so he blew on it twice before carefully taking a sip of the tea. Feeling the sweetness that followed the bitterness in his mouth, he said happily: "Brother, I asked Shen Bing when I got home yesterday, she still wants to continue being a kindergarten teacher, I thank you on her behalf."

"Alright, it's not a big deal, what's there to thank, drink your tea." Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said: "How about it, are you adapting after working for a day yesterday?"

"It's alright, it's just... it's just that I don't understand many things."

Shi Xiaomeng was also very honest, he had figured out his Brother Wang's temper, just say whatever there is to say.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Very normal, after all, you've never been in contact with it before. But you don't have to worry, just take your time. If you have any problems, just tell me, don't hold it in."

"Brother, I know."

"That's good."

Shi Xiaomeng took a sip of tea and pondered: "Brother, there's something I don't know if I should say."

"When you say this sentence, it means you should."

Smiling embarrassedly, Shi Xiaomeng said: "It's just... it's just... that... um... Yang Zixi?" After all, he was embarrassed to bring up the matter of someone keeping a woman to their face.

Wang Yan asked knowingly: "You know her?"

He wasn't surprised that Shi Xiaomeng knew about this; after all, their lives intersected, and he would know sooner or later.

Shi Xiaomeng nodded: "Do you have any impression of that Wu Di who ate at my house last time?"

"Go on."

"Yang Zixi is Wu Di's ex-girlfriend..."

Wang Yan laughed: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't stutter."

"It's just that Yang Zixi is a woman who is very... materialistic, she previously..." Shi Xiaomeng rambled on about the things between Yang Zixi and Wu Di: "Brother, you don't know how miserably she played Wu Di, I watched it from beginning to end, that woman Yang Zixi is very scheming, you have to be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "However, Xiaomeng, your worry is a bit redundant. She likes money, and I have money, it's really too easy to handle her."

As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, stood straight by the window, leaving Shi Xiaomeng with an unfathomable back, full of aura.

Only his faint voice was heard: "Money is a good thing, some people are slaves to money, some people are masters of money. And I, am the master of money."

These words, coupled with the pose he struck, a kind of thing called dominance permeated the large office, which was decorated in a low-key and luxurious way.

In Shi Xiaomeng's eyes, the Wang Yan standing there at this moment seemed like an insurmountable high mountain, he didn't know how high it was. The aura swept over, making his scalp tingle, and he couldn't speak.

There was a problem with Wang Yan's words, but in Shi Xiaomeng's eyes, there was no problem. After all, he was a billionaire, with hundreds of people following him to eat.

But when it came to Wang Yan himself, in the film and television world, he could of course say with a clear conscience that he was the master of money, but it was different in the real world.

Didn't he also want to buy a house and marry a wife in the real world? Isn't this all money? Otherwise, what was he working so hard to move code back and forth for?

Of course, his original intention was to participate in the war, to participate in the great rejuvenation of the nation, and money was just naturally obtained in the process. The starting angle was different, it was a fundamental difference. Even if he didn't have a small goal in reality, he could still say with a clear conscience that he didn't care about money... after all, his experience, vision, and realm were there...

It was common for most rich people to talk about changing the world, changing people's lifestyles, subverting this and that, what a high-sounding excuse this was...
