Chapter Forty-Three Bus

  Although Zhang Heng was drinking with his old classmates Wei Qiang and Li Meng, he still kept an ear on the commotion at the table across from them. Wang Hong's words left him speechless, and he shook his head with a bitter smile. Some people never change their whole lives, while others change with time and external temptations.

  In a cash-based society where material desires are rampant, he admits that who doesn't work for personal gain? However, some things still need to be hidden in one's heart; if you don't speak out, who can know?

  She used to be a girl who knew how to make progress, but after a few years, she's probably become a tool for men to satisfy their desires. For the sake of money, at this moment, even if it means performing in front of these old classmates, as long as the price is right, she won't object, a slave to wealth!

  A man's plaything!

  I heard that, Zhang Heng just shook his head with a bitter smile and didn't go over to talk to Wang Hong. Damn it, now we're short of everything except money. There's no need for that, with such classmates, in the future they'll be like strangers on the road, after all, people with different principles can't get along. Besides, he also believed that Zhao Xue could handle it well.

  She has no other skills, but when it comes to quarreling and scolding with others, she is absolutely a 'generation of spoiled brat'. She always bullies others, when has anyone ever seen her being bullied?

  "Wang Hong is now unstoppable, she's one of the three billionaire 'public' women in our city, I heard that recently she's been preparing to start her own company!" Li Meng seemed to have also noticed the commotion at the table of female classmates opposite them, and with a sly smile, he stuck close to Zhang Heng's side, his face full of lust, and said.

  About Wang Hong's gossip, he knows the most clearly among these classmates. Don't look at Li Meng's serious and proper appearance now, it's because Li Xiaoxiao is around, if not, Wang Hong would have used her 'beauty trick' on him, and he would have taken the bait long ago. What broken shoes or not, even the most tattered shoes are those worn by billionaires, with a good figure and knowing how to dress up, he wouldn't mind wearing them!

  "Three men?" Zhang Heng shook his head with a bitter smile, women these days are all so fierce and overbearing. Just like the saying goes, it's not that they're beautiful, but rather that they're lively and vibrant. In his subconscious mind, he couldn't help but conjure up a lewd image: one woman, three men, serving her at the same time, wouldn't that be a scene of "three doors opening simultaneously"?

  Li Meng put his arm around Zhang Heng's shoulder and chuckled, saying: "Don't you believe your brother's words? How can you not be interested? This woman has been asking me for help with something lately. Let's team up and test her 'waters'?"

  Zhang Heng rolled his eyes, still the same moral character as before. As the saying goes, a dog can't change its nature of eating feces. Laughing and scolding, he stretched out his hand to gently push away the arm that was draped over his shoulder: "If you want to try it out, go ahead and try it yourself, I'm not interested in that kind of 'public bus'. But you'd better be careful, or else the evil star of crime will burst your egg!"

  Li Meng hesitated for a moment, looked in the direction where Li Xiao was sitting, and forced a wry smile: "Brother, to be honest with you, I've entrusted my life to Xiao this lifetime!"

  Zhang Heng was taken aback, curiously looking at Li Meng, wondering why this kind of person would be so tightly controlled by Li Xiao. Suddenly, Wei Qiang chuckled and interjected, "Haha, can't figure it out? Let me enlighten you. Don't underestimate our 'Evil Star'! His old man is the big boss of Yunhai City!"

  "Stop selling empty words, get to the point!" Zhang Heng laughed and scolded, picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite of the braised beef, saying that the craftsmanship of this "Rainbow Private Kitchen" was absolutely not covered, it really had its own unique place, otherwise it wouldn't be worth 10,000 yuan per table!

  "The head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Li Shengli is the father of our 'Anti-Crime Hero'. Do you think Li Meng this kid would dare not to listen to our 'Anti-Crime Hero's' words?!" Wei Qiang's tone was filled with envy. If he had such a father-in-law, he would TMD (damn) be around his wife all day, trying to please her!

  Director of the Public Security Bureau, Secretary of Politics and Law? Isn't that one of the nine giants of Yunhai City?! Zhang Heng didn't show much envy, but rather some sympathy as he raised his wine cup and clinked it with Li Meng and Wei Qiang, laughing and saying: "Brother expresses deep sympathy for your situation, you must represent 'evil' and hold your ground firmly, charge forward bravely, don't retreat!"

  Li Meng smiled bitterly and listened to Zhang Heng teasing him, unexpectedly not retorting. He clinked his wine cup with Zhang Heng's and then downed the wine in one gulp.

  After drinking, Li Meng looked at Zhang Heng and said with a smile: "I heard from Qiangzi that you just returned from the capital city and have nothing to do. If you don't treat me as an outsider, come to my company. I won't say anything else, but solving your food and clothing problems is absolutely no problem. I know you want face, so don't rush to refuse. Although I look quite impressive on the surface, if we really talk about friends and brothers, there are actually very few.

  You all know my personality, treating me like a bird in a cage. If I'm not back home by 9 pm, you'll definitely scold me. Wanting to go out and have a drink with someone, but can't find anyone suitable. That group of friends, after Xiaoxiao and I got married, they all kept their distance from me. It's not easy to provoke the evil star, in the end, it's just you guys, this group of old classmates.

  Li Meng can say such words, Zhang Heng can hear that seven points are true and three points are false. Even if it's seven points true, it makes Zhang Heng feel quite moved.

  After all, Zhang Heng is not a high-ranking official, just an ordinary college student who graduated from a third-rate university. His family has assets worth tens of millions, in other words, they are worlds apart. There's no need to fawn over him, and even if he wanted to make fun of himself, he wouldn't say something like that.

  Zhang Heng smiled and filled the cups of Li Meng and Wei Qiang with wine, drinking Wuliangye. Each person drank an average of one bottle. At this time, except for a few people who were not bad at drinking, many others were drunk and confused. The rest were either talking nonsense with the people next to them or had fallen asleep under the table, lost in their dreams.

  "Come on, let's drink this cup first. From now on, there's no need to say anything, we're all brothers!" Zhang Heng said with a calm smile, raising his cup.

  Wei Qiang's face turned red as he took a swig of wine, Li Meng also raised his cup and said: "Come on, bottoms up!"

  Li Meng is quite a drinker, two kilograms of liquor, and now he's just slightly drunk. Wei Qiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, is also a good comrade who has been tested for a long time. A red face doesn't mean he's had too much to drink. What was that saying? The one about the three most intimidating types of people at the dinner table: those with medicine packets in their pockets, those with small braids, and those with red faces.

  "Thanks for your kind intention, I appreciate it. Don't be impatient and listen to what I have to say. Not going to your company doesn't mean that I look down on you. Actually, this time back, I'm preparing to start my own business!" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

  "Starting your own business?" Li Meng was taken aback, but quickly laughed and patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, saying: "Good kid, you're capable! Honestly, when we were in college, didn't you become a gigolo for rich women?"

  "Get out!"
