"Boyfriend" Sheng Fei didn't expect Ge Zhisen to say this. She was slightly taken aback, but what she hadn't anticipated was that bringing Wang Zheng here in such a setting would essentially declare him as her boyfriend
Thinking about it made Sheng Fei's pretty face turn slightly red, yet inside she felt rather pleased; she seemed to like others mistaking the relationship between herself and Wang Zheng.
Lǐ Qīnglóng’s eyes instantly turned cold. Of course, in others' eyes, he was still as warm as spring breeze, but only Wang Zheng could clearly feel the chill in his gaze.
Very cold.
Wang Zheng frowned slightly; he didn't understand why Li Qinglong had set his sights on him. Could it be because Hán Xingye crippled his bodyguard today
Closing his eyes momentarily, Wang Zheng acted as if nothing happened and smiled while extending his hand: "Wang Zheng."
Ge Zhisen also reached out to shake Wang Zheng's hand and said, "I'm Ge Zhisen. I used to have a crush on Sheng Fei, but don't worry, I’m not your rival now."
Prolonged political experience often makes one adept at dealing with all kinds of people, and Ge Zhisen was undoubtedly skilled in this regard; just one sentence brought him closer to Wang Zheng.
"Wang Zheng What do you work as" Li Yuan looked over Wang Zheng and said with amusement. However, the disdain hidden deep within his eyes couldn't escape Wang Zheng's notice.
"I'm just a worker; I don’t even have my own place in Beijing—I’m living off someone else." Wang Zheng spoke frankly—he was indeed a worker, but his business card listed him as the senior vice president of Juruo International. He was also staying with others, specifically in Shangguan Po's villa.
No matter who Wang Zheng truly was, just the title on his business card would be enough to startle these people; he was a worker, but at least one of imperial level.
Sheng Fei kicked Wang Zheng under the table with her foot, telling him not to brag. However, Sheng Fei also sensed that these classmates didn't have much goodwill toward Wang Zheng. Tonight would likely see some unrest; women's intuition is often frighteningly accurate.
Indeed, as soon as Wang Zheng spoke up, the gloom in Li Qinglong’s eyes vanished slightly. Whether in black or white society, success depends on ability. While many people can't afford homes in Beijing, to someone like Li Qinglong—who looks down on others—this is seen as a sign of incompetence.
Therefore, Wang Zheng became an incompetent person in their eyes.
Xie Qiner and Han Shuang also snorted when they heard this, displaying contemptuous expressions.
"It's hard to live in the capital." Yuan Chen tapped on the table, implying something as he said.
Yuan Chen had an extremely sharp business sense. After founding his first company, he now has a fortune of tens of millions and owns several decent properties in the capital. Although he can't be called a tycoon yet, considering his age, it's quite remarkable to have achieved this level.
"My ability is limited; there's nothing I can do about it." Wang Zheng said mockingly.
"This isn’t an issue of capability but rather one of awareness," Yuan Chen began lecturing Wang Zheng as if he were a teacher: "I could also have reached this level. Why couldn't you You can't even afford a house in the capital, so what right do you have to give happiness to Sheng Fei Will Sheng Fei be happy following you Although you're currently working for someone else now, I guarantee that you'll remain an employee all your life."
Wang Zheng was stunned, and Li Qinglong was also taken aback. They never expected Yuan Chen to be so direct, immediately setting the stage for a conflict without any pretense. This is exactly what Li Qinglong wanted.
Yuan Chen had his reasons for doing this. In college, he regarded Sheng Fei as his goddess. During those lonely nights of youth, he didn't know how many times he fantasized about her while lying in bed. Now that he has achieved success and is extremely confident, upon seeing the goddess again, it's only natural to want to show off a bit. However, he hadn't expected Sheng Fei to still be around but now belong to someone else. This naturally made Yuan Chen, who had been憋著一口氣 (holding a grudge), very uncomfortable, and at this moment, he must educate this guy well.
"Yuan Chen is truly the boss; his way of speaking and acting is so impressive." Han Shuang said with a smile, not knowing whether it was praise or ridicule.
What an idiot. Wang Zheng thought inwardly but remained composed on the surface as he looked at Yuan Chen: "Brother, isn't whether I can make Sheng Fei happy something you don’t have authority over You're only in your thirties and already have a pot belly, dark circles under your eyes, and half of your hair is gone. It seems you might be indulging yourself too much. If this continues, it won't end well; you'll regret the loss when old age comes!"
"You're too brazen! You're being too vulgar!" Yuan Chen, though knowing what Wang Zheng said was true and that he indeed had been indulging himself excessively, tried his best to cover up and deny it despite his shock.
"I’m telling you, food can be eaten recklessly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly," Yuan Chen coldly stated: "For your reckless talk just now, I have the right to hold you accountable."
Given Sheng Fei's face, Wang Zheng truly wanted to pick up this fat man and force him backwards into a toilet. Why are there so many people in this world who don't know when to give up and think too highly of themselves They can be found everywhere. These people seem to have far too high an opinion of themselves!
Moreover, Wang Zheng felt wronged. Clearly, it was the fat guy named Yuan Chen who first showed hostility towards him; now he's trying to hold Wang Zheng accountable! Why is that He——he憑什麼啊 (on what grounds) Wang Zheng thought it rather amusing—some people really are unreasonable at a very high level.
"Then how are you going to hold me responsible" Wang Zheng was really curious to hear what answer Yuan Chen could give.
"Alright, alright." Ge Zhisen spoke up: "Today is難得大家見上一麵，彆一見麵就爭了起來。r, everyone. Let's not argue right from the start. Yuan Chen, you're now a big boss worth tens of millions; why are you still so quick to quarrel with others"
It was clear that Yuan Chen wasn't in a good mood, and he sneered: "I don’t want to emulate you, Zhisen. The things you do in politics, I can't learn from them—I simply can't."
Ge Zhisen didn't mind this; instead, he raised his glass and said, “Today’s host is Qinglong, so let's all toast together. This is to celebrate our reunion after many years and also to pay respect to Qinglong. Youth may fade, but friendship remains forever!”
"Right, Zhisen spoke well!" Li Xiang raised his glass and stood up.
"Cheers! To everlasting friendship!" Li Qinglong said with a smile: "Let's down this glass together!"
The glasses of everyone present clinked together. But just as they were about to drink, Li Qinglong suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, don’t drink yet!"
Everyone was taken aback. Li Qinglong pointed at the bright red cranberry juice in Sheng Fei and Wang Zheng’s glasses: "We all poured ourselves full glasses of wine, so why are you two drinking fruit juice"
Just as Sheng Fei was about to speak, Wang Zheng replied with a smile: "My girlfriend has her period today, so she's not feeling well and can't drink alcohol."
Sheng Fei blushed on the side, stomping hard on Wang Zheng’s foot. She didn’t know whether this guy had truly figured it out or was just making something up off the cuff—she indeed had her period today, and it was the first day with noticeable bleeding.
"Even if Sheng Fei can't drink, what about you If you don't drink for Sheng Fei, at least finish your own glass!" Li Qinglong’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Is it really okay to have men who don’t drink Can they even be considered real men” Han Shuang also mocked him.
"I really don't drink," Wang Zheng said. He didn’t drink in order to keep his mind clear, of course, but if this guy truly went all out and drank heavily, he would definitely have the capacity to make everyone at the table fall over drunk. And with Grandpa’s specially concocted antidote for alcohol poisoning, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a thousand cups couldn't make him fall down.
Moreover, in case of emergency, Wang Zheng had already taken the antidote for alcohol. Li Qinglong gave him an uneasy feeling that he couldn't explain, but when one needs to be cautious, it's better not to take any chances. Having a backup plan is never wrong.
Liang Xiang was also displeased. Wang Zheng was originally his rival in love, and now seeing how disrespectful the other person was being, he said, "Brother, you should give Sheng Fei some respect. Your refusal to drink will make her feel embarrassed."
Hearing this, Wang Zheng turned to face him with a smile, wrapped his arm around Sheng Fei's soft waist, and whispered close to her ear, "Darling, do you feel humiliated"
Surprised by Wang Zheng’s unexpected move, Sheng Fei felt sweet inside despite the shock. Feeling Wang Zheng's warm breath on her earlobe, she relaxed instantly.
"No." Sheng Fei shook her head instinctively.
"Exactly," Wang Zheng raised his head and said with a smile, "Since my woman doesn't feel humiliated, why should I"
Hearing the words "my woman", Sheng Fei felt as if honey had melted in her heart. However, Li Qinglong’s mocking gaze instantly darkened; he already considered Sheng Fei his own property and couldn’t bear for others to take precedence.
"Cheap slut," muttered Li Qinglong viciously, "Tonight I must ruin you."
Seeing Wang Zheng's actions, Yuan Chen put down his cup and said with a cold smile, "I previously mentioned that the reason one fails is due to their own limitations. Your abilities are simply too limited."
Yuan Chen’s words were like a sharp thorn; most men would have already started fighting over such aggressive remarks, but Wang Zheng didn't care at all. In his view, Yuan Chen and his group weren’t worthy opponents of him, not even entertainment.
"So what do you want" asked Wang Zheng with a slight smile, narrowing his eyes.
"You drink one cup, I’ll drink two," said Yuan Chen with a sneer.
"I really can't drink alcohol." Wang Zheng replied with a bitter smile. "Please spare me; after just two cups, I won’t even know where north or south is."
"You drink one cup, and I’ll drink three!" Yuan Chen stared at Wang Zheng intently. "I don't like it when people refuse me."ix-month deadline has already passed, and I really want to know where that old man ran off to. He promised me a team after the six months was up, but there’s not even a trace of them!"Wang Zheng's ton...
