Ouyang Qing nodded thoughtfully. “But he probably doesn’t know much either.”
“At least he’s stronger than us, right?”
Ouyang Qing chuckled lightly, “That’s true.”
“How about I give him a call?”
Wu Yufei smiled and nodded.
Yangkou Power Station.
Xie Wendong walked out of the office, looking defeated.
Working for a governnt departnt has its perks, but you need a good boss first. Unlike him—his luck wasn’t great, stuck with a boss who had a weird temper. Half an hour before the end of the day, the guy called him in just to scold him.
Luckily, Xie Wendong had a good mindset and always tried to look on the bright side. Maybe that’s also why he’d put on so much weight.
Inwardly, he comforted himself that his boss would likely be transferred within the next year and a half. His mood improved quickly. As he was walking out the office gates, a car horn sounded, “Beep beep!”
Following the sound, he looked over.
A parked Camry on the roadside caught his eye. Xie Wendong broke into a smile, quickened his pace, and pulled open the door to get in.
“Got scolded again?”
The driver was Gao Jianqiang.
“Ugh, don’t even bring it up. An old guy, divorced at this age—what can I say? Let’s go, grab a drink. It’s on .”
Their workplaces were close to each other, so the two often t up after work for a al and drinks.
Gao Jianqiang started the car.
“Only you would put up with this crap. If it were , I’d quit and never look back if I had a boss like that.”
He had given this advice more than once before.
But Xie Wendong was quite clear-headed.
“Quit and do what? You know how much effort it took for to get in here? No matter how bad it is, there are plenty of people out there who would kill for this spot.”
Driving, Gao Jianqiang shook his head. “Jiang Chen is capable now, right? Weren’t you guys pretty tight back in high school? Ask him for help to get you a decent job. Wouldn’t that be easy?”
“It’s not the sa.”
Xie Wendong adjusted his seatbelt. “His success is his, and I already have a job. Asking him to arrange sothing for ? That’d change the dynamics between us.”
What Xie Wendong said was casual, but it hit differently for Gao Jianqiang.
After all, Gao Jianqiang had relied on Chi Jin’s backing to get his job at the Tobacco Bureau. His expression shifted subtly, and he fell quiet for a mont.
“Or is it that Jiang Chen’s doing so well now, he doesn’t bother with old classmates like you guys anymore?”
“No way, Jiang Chen…”
Xie Wendong hadn’t finished his sentence when his phone rang in his pocket. He paused, pulled it out, and answered.
“Old Secretary.”
“You’re not joking, right?”
Whatever was said on the other end, it was a lot—a long stream of words.
Xie Wendong’s expression grew increasingly astonished, then increasingly excited!
“Consider? Consider my ass! I’ve honestly had enough of this already. I’d even take a job as a driver!”
When the call ended, Xie Wendong was beside himself with joy. He clenched his fists tightly.
“This is it! I’m gonna make it!”
Gao Jianqiang frowned slightly and glanced over. “What’s made you so excited?”
“Jiang Chen’s planning to open a Grade-A hospital in River City—a huge project with billions spent on land acquisition. And now he’s investing in Wu Yufei’s new company and asked to join them. Jianqiang, I think I’m about to take off!”
As Xie Wendong explained breathlessly, Gao Jianqiang’s face grew darker and darker. He forced out a thin smile. “For real?”
“It’s that plot of land in Yangkou that Hang Seng Group abandoned. Go ask around, you’ll see. Damn, when my mom gave birth to , she said she dreamt of a dragon soaring through the skies the night before, claiming I was destined for greatness. Turns out she was right. Hurry up—step on it! Tonight, we’re not stopping until we’re hamred!”
Xie Wendong was positively glowing, getting more and more worked up as he spoke, completely oblivious to the increasingly grim look on his friend’s face beside him.
