098: The Man Driving a Sports Car

After eating a meal for two or three hours, everyone continued toasting each other. As one of the focal points, and because of Zhang Wu, Wang Cheng was toasted a lot with wine. However, Huang Tong'an got it even worse. There were rumors that his family conditions were better than Song Yuanyuan’s, so he was originally the object of some classmates to please. He was filled with more wine, but fortunately, he was helped by Tong Yangyang and did not get drunk.

"Your drinking volume has not changed since we were kids." Huang Tong’an looked at Wang Cheng, who was a bit red but still clear-headed, and remembered when they once competed their alcohol tolerances in high school. He drank five or six bottles of beer, but his face did not change. At that time, he thought that Wang Cheng must be ousted in the future. As a result, he lost contact with Wang Cheng as soon as he graduated. Later, he regretted why he didn’t exchange phone numbers with Wang Cheng.

"Your alcohol tolerance is not bad either, you have practiced these years." Wang Cheng grabbed the clothes on his chest. Today he was wearing the shirt and sweater bought by Chu Yifeng. The two were not very thick, and his physique had always been better, but now he felt a bit hot when he drank too much.

"I'm helping my dad in the company now. I have to entertain others every day. Don't mention those annoying things. It's a wonder that my alcohol tolerance is not high." Huang Tong'an didn't want to mention the troubles at home. He wanted to be as free as Wang Cheng, starting a business and doing whatever he wants. However, he was an only child and was destined to inherit his family's career.

"Some people are very envious of you."

Living a lifetime of mediocrity, there were a lot of people who worried about money. Who didn’t know how much they envied those who were rich, and they couldn’t wait to change their backgrounds. However, how could their backgrounds be chosen? If they were too late to take action, they were really doomed. Most of the rich people actually rely on their own efforts to achieve what they have today, People who did nothing in life only knew what it meant to envy others.

"I admit that it is indeed good to have money, and it is not always better to be free, but I have always yearned for a more free and beautiful life." Huang Tong’an drank a bit much, and his voice began to float up.

A phone's ringtone suddenly sounded, and Huang Tong'an thought it was his. He pulled it out and saw that the screen was still black. "Who’s is it? It's not mine. Wang Cheng, your phone is ringing." He said with a kick. Rubbing his eyes, Wang Cheng didn’t respond.

"Boss Chu, have you finished your conversation?" Wang Cheng picked it up without checking it. He thought it was Chu Yifeng who called him, but Wang Ning'an's voice suddenly appeared on the phone.

"Chengcheng."

Wang Cheng's back was straight, and his whole person was spirited. "Big brother? Big brother? Why did you think of calling me this late?"

"Can't I call you at night? You thought it was your boss? I want to know, how can you think your boss is calling you so late?" Wang Ning'an was not a confused Papa Wang, and he was even more clever than Mama Wang.

"Uh, the boss is superior to the client and needed an assistant, but he couldn’t find anyone else at night. I happen to live opposite him, so he let me come out with him. I'm waiting for him in the hotel now, so I thought you were the boss. That’s it." Wang Cheng started to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

"Really?"

"Of course. Why would I lie to you, brother? What are you looking for? You won't really just want to say these things to me."

"Isn’t your agreement with Huaying Real Estate expiring soon? Are you going to continue to work at Huaying Real Estate?"

‘Thank you, elder brother for not being clear about this matter. Otherwise, my lie just now would be exposed.’ Wang Cheng remedied: "It will expire in a few days. It was originally agreed to be about three months, but it was paused later due to some things. It has been increased for another half a month, but I am going to leave my job and go home to manage business myself. You don’t have to worry about it, brother. I am well-measured.”

"That's good. Mom just called me and said that no one answered your call. I was afraid you were in trouble. If you're free, call Mom back so that she won't worry. I'll talk to her first in a bit. "

"Got it."

Wang Cheng checked. Mama Wang actually called him two times more than half an hour ago. Maybe it was very noisy at that time. Many people came to toast and he didn't notice.

"Was that your powerful elder brother?" Huang Tong’an faintly heard him talk to his elder brother, but he couldn't hear the specific content. He only asked when he hung up the phone. He heard Wang Cheng talk about his elder brother’s deeds before. He was a very powerful man who read books. He always wanted to meet him. Unfortunately, when he transferred to Shanhai High School, Wang Cheng's elder brother was already a college student and was about to graduate.

"It's him. If you have fate, you might see him in the Imperial Capital, but you might not recognize him when you see him." Wang Cheng put the phone down on the edge of the table.

"Cut." Huang Tong’an heard his gloating tone.

At 9 o'clock, Song Yuanyuan's spokesperson, the leader Ma Song, felt that the conversation was almost finished, and he invited everyone to go to KTV. However, there were not many people who decided to go. Those who already had families were not going, such as Lin Qi. As a mother-to-be, Lin Qi was already reluctant to come out at this time. After all, there were still children to take care of at home.

"Dandan, are you going?" Lin Qi asked.

Wei Dandan looked in a certain direction with some hesitation.

Lin Qi followed her line of sight and saw Wang Cheng and Huang Tong’an holding the drunk Yangyang and sighed, shaking her head.

"Dandan, you may not like to listen to these words, but I still want to tell you. In fact, I know you liked Wang Cheng in high school. At that time, because Song Yuanyuan wasn’t successful, you may have felt a bit happy. However, I think you are not suitable for him."

"But ... I finally met someone I used to like. I still want to give it a try. Even if the result is unsatisfactory, at least I will have no regrets." Wei Dandan was not surprised that her friend guessed it. She indeed behaved really obviously today.

"Well, since you have decided, then go for it." Lin Qi saw that she had settled on a decision and supported her, although she had already guessed the result.

Encouraged by a friend, Wei Dandan finally summoned her courage and walked towards Wang Cheng when they reached the door of the hotel lobby.

Wang Cheng was complaining that although Tong Yangyang had lost weight, he still weighed a lot. Maybe his bones were too heavy. They all drank alcohol, so the three of them walked crookedly. When Huang Tong’an saw Wei Dandan, he was stunned. He hadn’t noticed her yet.

"Wang Cheng, Ma Song said Song Yuanyuan invited us to KTV. Are you going?"

Wang Cheng shook his head without even thinking. "I don't have enough vocal skills. I'm afraid I’ll scare everyone away, so I don't plan to go." He didn't want to go when he heard Song Yuanyuan's name.

Huang Tong'an did not expose him. The three of them had gone out to sing karaoke in high school. Although Wang Cheng was not as good at singing as those in the entertainment industry, he was much better than him and Yangyang. Only he and Yangyang knew this thing throughout the school.

"So, I won't go either," Wei Dandan said with ease.

"It's good if you don't go. It's dangerous for a girl not to go home in the middle of the night. However, it doesn't matter if a man sleeps on the side of the road, no one pays attention."

When she heard that he was concerned about his safety, Wei Dandan laughed. "I'm worried about this too, so I won’t go. By the way, this weekend ..."

"Wang Cheng."

The sudden sound interrupted Wei Dandan's words. Wang Cheng turned around and saw Chu Yifeng coming out of the hotel. He was alone, the customer might have already left. His aura was relatively strong. The people at the door were all Wang Cheng’s classmates, and when he came over, everyone noticed immediately.

Wei Dandan suddenly became cramped, and her occupational disease almost broke out.

[T/N: This is probably referring to how she usually serves customers like him at the hotel, and she is used to using a specific work attitude.]

"Did you finish talking?" Wang Cheng didn't feel anything wrong, and asked freely. He wanted to call Chu Yifeng after Huang Tong’an and Tong Yangyang left.

Chu Yifeng nodded, "Well, are you going back?"

"They are going to go to a KTV, but I am not interested and was planning to go back."

"Then let's go together."

Wang Cheng suddenly became embarrassed, pointing at his two friends, "What should they do?"

"Rest assured, I will be responsible for sending Tong Yangyang this dead fat man home. You go back first, don’t worry about us." Huang Tong’an was clear-headed when Chu Yifeng came over, he was just a little dizzy, not drunk. Besides, he felt that Chu Yifeng was a little familiar.

"Drunks can't drive." Wang Cheng calmly pointed out this fact. Even if he wasn't drunk, he didn't want to wake up the next morning to see ‘Huang XX and Tong XX in a car accident’ on the TV or newspaper.

"You think I am stupid? I'm still young, how can I joke about my beautiful life? I must take a taxi. It’s okay, you go quickly, you’ll be too late if you delay." Huang Tong’an pulled Tong Yangyang and propped himself up by himself.

Chu Yifeng's car has been driven by the doorman. Because of the maintenance every month, the body was still black and shiny. Wang Cheng gave Huang Tong’an a few words, then ignored the other people's eyes and got in the car with Chu Yifeng and left. Some people long looked straight forward and couldn’t help but regret why they didn't go up to Wang Cheng at the party. He got to know a man who drove sports cars, and their relationship was good enough that he could send Wang Cheng home. How could he be an ordinary person?

"Zhang Wu, have you known long ago? Did you know Wang Cheng?" Song Yuanyuan was also stunned by this scene. Wang Cheng said that he was doing a small business in his own house. Why did he suddenly jump out with a man driving a sports car? He looked very familiar. After being told by Zhang Wu before, she didn't actually give much thought, but the situation of the other party seemed to be a little different from her imagination. If Zhang Wu really knew Wang Cheng ... she suddenly became a bit worried, she had been talking bad about Wang Cheng in front of Zhang Wu before.

"I didn’t know him. I only met Wang Cheng today."

Zhang Wu didn't want to explain too much to her. She didn't understand like vision and temperament. He had already begun thinking about breaking up with Song Yuanyuan. He did not know Wang Cheng, but he did know the man who left with Wang Cheng.
