Chapter 143: I'm Your Dad!

  In the corner of a restaurant, Wang Xiaozhuang sat on the floor in front of a table, his hands wrapped around Old Wang who was almost slipping under the table. When he saw Gao Fei walking quickly towards them, he hastily shouted: "Uncle, Qin Auntie, we're over here!"

  "What's wrong with him? How did your dad end up drinking so much?"

  Gao Fei rushed over and hugged Lao Wang around the waist, putting him in a chair.

  Old Wang was already drunk, and he and Wang Xiaozhuang had vomit on their bodies and the floor. The smell of alcohol filled the air, making it hard to bear. The owner of the restaurant muttered in dissatisfaction beside them.

  Qin Cheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, she opened her small bag and took out a few banknotes, throwing them on the table: "Don't say anything else, consider this money as your medical expenses. Also, bring me another basin of water and get a clean towel."

  The boss's wife has been struggling in the mortal world all day long and has already cultivated a pair of fiery eyes.

  She muttered about Old Wang and his daughter, it was clear that this father-daughter pair were just ordinary common folk.

  But when Gao Fei and Qin Cheng arrived, especially after Teacher Qin casually threw out a few large denomination bills, they immediately realized that the newcomer was not ordinary. With a smile on their faces, they grabbed the bills and loudly shouted: "Tiger, quickly bring a basin of water and a clean towel over here - Sir, there's an empty private room over there, you can take him in there, I'll clean up the hygiene around here."

  With Wang Xiao Zhuang's help, Gao Fei wiped the vomit off Lao Wang's chest and then roughly washed him with water. Anyway, it was summer now, so he wasn't worried about Lao Wang catching a cold.

  Holding onto Old Wang, he was about to drag him into the private room when Gao Fei asked Wang Xiao Zhuang: "Xiao Zhuang, don't cry, first tell your uncle what's going on. How did your dad suddenly end up drinking here?"

  "I, I don't know what happened to him either. Around noon, he suddenly called me and said sorry or something, and after I repeatedly asked him where he was, I rushed over, my dad had already gotten drunk and vomited all over the floor."

  Wang Xiao Zhuang wiped away his tears and looked at Qin Cheng who was standing beside him: "I couldn't do it myself, and I couldn't find anyone else to help, so I had no choice but to call Auntie Qin first. I thought you two were together."

  After smiling at Qin Cheng, who was holding his child and not speaking, Gao Fei scratched the back of his head and was about to say something when he heard Old Wang, lying on two chairs with his eyes closed, let out a deep sigh and muttered: "Xiao Zhuang, Dad... I'm useless, how are we going to get by in the future? What will I use to support you in the future? Alas, if it weren't for your poor health, Dad would really worry that he wouldn't be able to bear it and go find your mom over there!"

  "Was it necessary for things to turn out like this? Xiao Zhuang, go outside and fetch a bottle of mineral water, I need to wake your father up first."

  Just as Gao Fei finished speaking, a small white hand handed over a bottle of mineral water.

  It was Qin Cheng who came over and picked up a bottle from the counter as soon as she entered.

  Gao Fei twisted open a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then sprayed it onto Old Wang's face.

  "Ouch!"

  Splashed with cold water, Old Wang shivered and opened his drunken eyes.

  "Can't you still recognize who I am? Oh, can't recognize me? Then let's have some more."

  Gao Fei waved the bottle in front of Old Wang, and when he didn't react, he simply turned the bottle upside down and poured water directly on his face.

  At this point, Old Wang finally woke up thoroughly and quickly scrambled up from the chair: "Gao Gao Fei, Teacher Qin, how did you come?"

  Qin Cheng said in a soft voice: "It was Xiao Zhuang who called me, Old Wang, what's going on that you can't get over, getting drunk like this and scaring the kids to tears."

  "I, I——"

  Seeing his daughter by his side, Old Wang muttered two "I"s and then hugged Wang Xiao Zhuang's shoulder, choking with sobs: "I... I'm sorry to Xiao Zhuang, sorry to the mother of the dead child!"

  "Alright, alright, what's the big deal? Let's talk about it with your brother. Xiao Zhuang, don't cry first, we need to solve the problem first."

  "I was fired by President Shen, I don't know why."

  Old Wang wiped his face, speaking in a low and measured tone, explaining why he got drunk. At the end, with a sorrowful expression, he said: "I'm already over 40 years old, apart from driving, where can I find a job that pays more than 6,000 yuan per month? Without sufficient income, what can I rely on to support Xiaozhuang's medical treatment, alas!"

  "Oh, I've been figuring it out for half a day, and it turns out that's how it is. Alright, I get it now."

  After listening to Lao Wang, Gao Fei realized that he had been fired and it might have something to do with himself. He looked down on Shen Yinbing and said: "Lao Wang, heaven never seals off all exits. As long as it's a problem that can be solved with money, then it's not a problem. Weren't you just fired by Shen Yinbing? In my opinion, this is a good thing because I was originally going to ask you to resign voluntarily."

  Lao Wang was stunned: "What? Gao Fei, you want me to resign?"

  "Right, I was thinking of you quitting and coming to help me. You might not know, but in about a month, my Western restaurant on Pedestrian Street is going to open for business. According to my optimistic estimate, it will definitely be crowded with customers at that time. These days, I have been thinking about finding someone trustworthy to go there and help me. That's why I thought of you. After all, we still have a deep friendship between us. I'm asking you to help me manage the restaurant, because I trust you!"

  Gao Fei said a lot, finally looking at Old Wang's stunned expression, he said: "If you want to help me, then start working from tomorrow, supervise the renovation work on site. As for the monthly salary, let's set it at 10,000 yuan for now. After the restaurant opens, I'll give you the necessary commission - hey, hey, Old Wang, what are you doing? Do you need to come here with this attitude? Get up!"

  Old Wang, who was about to kneel but was held back by Gao Fei, had a face full of gratitude and tears: "Gao Fei, thank you, thank you! Knowing you is absolutely the best thing that has happened to my family for generations! I don't want a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, because I really don't know how to manage it. Just give me 4,000 yuan every month, enough for Xiao Zhuang to take care of his body!"

  Qin Cheng said, "Old Wang, it's okay if you don't understand management, you can learn. How about this? I'll find a professional teacher for you, and during the period when the restaurant is opening, we'll intensify your studies, which should be effective."

  "Thanks, thank you Teacher Qin. Xiao Zhuang!"

  Old Wang's lips trembled as he pulled over Wang Xiaozhuang: "Quickly, quickly kowtow to your uncle and aunt!"

  Gao Fei hastily stopped him and scolded, "Old Wang, what are you making the kid kowtow for? Are you still not awake? Nonsense! I'll send you back home, you rest well tonight, and tomorrow go to Pedestrian Street, it's across from Royal Western Restaurant, I'll be waiting for you there."

  Pulling old Wang out of the restaurant with a thousand thanks, Gao Fei was about to let Xiaozhuang hail a taxi when Qin Cheng spoke up: "Use my car."

  Old Wang felt a bit embarrassed: "Teacher Qin, I...I'm a bit dirty..."

  "It's okay, it's not very dirty."

  Qin Cheng shook his head and opened the car door for Old Wang.

  Gao Fei didn't want to get on the bus with Qin Cheng, but he thought that if he didn't follow, Old Wang would have a harder time going upstairs, and what about Qin Cheng and Xiao Zhuang?

  Also don't know why, Gao Fei now in front of Qin Cheng, suddenly had a kind of irresponsible heart palpitations.

  After sending Old Wang back home, Gao Fei again instructed him not to think wildly and told Xiaozhuang Wang to call him if anything happened before going downstairs with Qin Chengcheng.

  Just now Old Wang and his daughter were present, but Gao Fei still didn't realize anything.

  But now it's just the two of them alone, he feels particularly awkward. After exiting the unit door, he quickly walked out of the compound gate and stood by the road to wait for a passing taxi.

  He believes that Qin Cheng also doesn't want to face him, because in her heart she never took him seriously.

  Since it's like this, is it necessary for him to stick around others?

  Drip, drip - just as Gao Fei stretched his neck to look left, a white Chevrolet stopped in front of him. The window rolled down and Qin Chengcheng, wearing large sunglasses, said faintly: "Get in the car, I'll take you wherever you want to go."

  Gao Fei shook his head: "No need, you go your way, I'll wait for a taxi."

  Qin Cheng bit his lip and asked coldly: "You don't dare face me?"

  "Ha! I've explored every inch of your body, what is there for me to be afraid of? I'm just too lazy to deal with stupid women who only use me as a tool to vent their anger."

  Suddenly, Qin Cheng raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, saying in a low voice: "Who did you call stupid?"

  "Looking up at the sky with both eyes: 'Saying sorry to others, but apologizing to you.'"

  Qin Cheng clenched his teeth and spat out a few words: "Gao Fei, you bastard!"

  "Ha! You're even more venomous: 'I'm a bastard, but you've been had by a bastard for a whole night. It's not like the bastard forced himself on you. You only realized I'm a bastard after you'd finished enjoying yourself, what were you doing earlier?'"

  "Why don't you just drop dead!"

  Qin Cheng let out a low growl, suddenly started the car, turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator - amidst the car's roaring engine, the left wheel heavily crashed into the roadside curb, scaring Gao Fei to hastily jump under the street lamp post: "Hiss, indeed a heartless villain, putting on pants and forgetting the well-digger, plotting to rob and murder?"

  Qin Cheng's face turned red with rage, he looked around but couldn't find anything handy, so he picked up his sunglasses and smashed them at Gao Fei.

  Gao Fei raised his hand and caught the large sunglasses with a "slap", put them on his nose bridge, turned around and ran.

  Just then a bus stopped and he jumped on without caring where it was headed.

  "You silly girls, do you think I'm someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will? You've really blinded yourself with those beautiful eyes of yours. I have no interest in or feelings for women who are uninteresting and unfeeling, cut it out!"

  After glancing at the white Chevrolet in the distance, Gao Fei pulled a little girl who was about to sit down before an old man to one side and persuaded her with a bitter tone: "Child, you were born under the red flag and grew up in a honey jar, how come you don't know to respect the elderly and give your seat to the old man? Oh, I see that the old man is about to get off at the next stop. In that case, I'll sit down first. You're still young, standing for a while will be good for your physical development."

  In the midst of the little girl's furious rolling of her eyes, Gao Fei took out his phone and dialed a number.

  First time, no connection.

  The phone rang for a long time and was about to automatically hang up when Shen Yinbing's pleasant voice came from the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

  "I'm your dad - one of your dad's most favorite excellent employees!"

  Gao Fei coldly said: "Shen Yin Bing, what are you pretending for? I don't believe you can't hear my voice!"

  Shen Yinbing was somewhat exasperated: "Gao Fei, who are you? Speak clearly!"

  Gao Fei sneered: "I'm like this!"

  "I'm too lazy to bother with you!"

  Shen Yinbing was about to hang up the phone when Gao Fei hastily asked, "Where is your company now? Wait for me, I'll be right there!"
