346 The Meaning
At this moment, Li Wei and the others also stood up and criticized Lu Benwei.
âYou obviously know how to drink. Why did you lie to us?â
âThatâs right. You saw that we were all drunk, so you still tricked us into drinking with you?â
âDo you want to see us drink too much and make a fool of ourselves?â
Fan Peng was furious. âThere are so many of you, but only one of you is drinking. Itâs fine if you havenât drunk it before, but youâre even lying.â
Lu Benwei took his time to drink and said, âI remember that at the beginning, someone said that itâs fine to just drink to your heartâs content. Why is it that theyâre now desperately drinking as if their lives were on the line?â
After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Benweiâs voice was cold. âI donât really care. I can guarantee that all of you will drink to your heartâs content.â
Zhang Minghua and the others shivered unconsciously, a chill running down their spines.
âMinghua, what should we do? We clearly canât win against him. What should we do?â Li Wei said into Zhang Minghuaâs ear.
Zhang Minghua wiped his cold sweat and did not answer Li Wei. Instead, he went straight to Lu Benwei and Fan Peng.
Zhang Minghua smiled and patted his head. âHey, Iâm drunk, brother. Iâm a little harsh with my words. Blame me, blame me.â
Then, he looked at everyone and said, âIâm sorry, everyone. I said Iâd have a good meal with everyone, but I didnât expect to only drink. How about this, after weâre done eating, where do you want to go? My treat! Everyone, have a good meal and have a good chat.â
Seeing Zhang Minghuaâs attitude, everyone was too embarrassed to say anything.
Lu Benwei and Fan Peng did not retaliate and sat down again.
Everyone began to eat and chat. Suddenly, Zhang Minghua asked indifferently, âLu Benwei, Fan Peng, top students like you will be assigned after graduation. Where will you go?â
It seemed to be a casual question. Everyone else also stopped eating. They were also a little curious.
âYou can either join the army and guard the secret realm or go to the fog,â Lu Benwei said casually, âIf your results are average and you donât join the army, you can also work in the logistics department or do scientific research on monsters.â
âI see. Hehe.â Zhang Minghua laughed sinisterly. âIf you enter the army, can you also say that half of your body is already in the dirt?â
When everyone heard this, they were shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that what he said was not wrong. When dealing with monsters, most of them would die.
Lu Benwei did not intend to refute and just shrugged. âYouâre right.â
Zhang Minghua took a small bite and said, âWhat if we donât choose to be in the army?â
âThen you can look for a job outside.â Lu Benwei shrugged.
âWhatâs your usual salary when youâre looking for a job?â Zhang Minghua asked again.
âI know.â Li Wei chimed in. âThereâs a saying now â 3,000 yuan canât hire a farmer, but it can hire a university student!â
âIs that so? â Zhang Minghua laughed. âHeâs not even as good as my butcher.â
Many people in the hall laughed. For a moment, they all felt that it was nothing to not have good results in the martial arts assessment.
Dealing with monsters was such a dangerous thing. They could not wait to stay away from monsters for their entire lives.
If top students like Lu Benwei or Fan Peng did not choose to be assigned and went out to society, they would be no different from them. Fan Peng wanted to refute this but was stopped by Lu Benwei.
âYouâre right. With the expansion of recruitment and the fact that some people wonât choose to join the army, university graduates arenât worth much,â Lu Benwei said with a smile.
âThatâs right. After all, entering the army is such a dangerous thing. But with such a measly salary after graduation, when will you be able to get a wife?â Zhang Minghua said gloomily.
After a pause, he stretched out his large hand. âHow about this? Come work in a pig farm after graduation. Iâll give you 10,000 yuan a month.â
âF*ck, 10,000 a month. Minghua, can I join you?â Li Wei said excitedly, âI also want to get 10,000 yuan a month.â
Zhang Minghua laughed. âF*ck you. Lu Benwei is a top student from one of the nine hunter universities. 10,000 yuan a month is reasonable. But Iâll give you 9,500 yuan for the sake of being classmates!â
â9,500 yuan, not bad. 500 yuan less than the top student from one of the nine hunter universities, not bad.â Li Wei deliberately enunciated the words âtop studentâ.
The entire hall burst into laughter.
Zhang Minghua raised his eyebrows and said proudly, âSo, Lu Benwei, do you want to do it?â
This was a humiliation. Even Fan Peng was angry for Lu Benwei.
âNo need, Iâm going to join the army in the future,â Lu Benwei said calmly.
âEnter the army?â
When Zhang Minghua heard this, he smiled noncommittally.
âIf you canât lower your face, just say it. Why say such words? After entering the army, you have to deal with monsters all day. Itâs dangerous and not profitable. In addition, for people like you who have no connections, your promotion speed is slow. Is your brain not working?â
Zhang Minghuaâs smile became even more unbridled.
âYou donât say, itâs true. If I had to say, those people who entered the army are all sick in the head. They want me to casually sell pigs to earn money that you canât earn even in ten lifetimes.â
Fan Peng could not take it anymore. He stood up and almost flipped the table. âZhang Minghua, donât you just have some filthy money? What are you putting on airs for?â
Zhang Minghua saw Fan Pengâs hysterical look and his smile became even more proud. âIâm sorry but you can do whatever you want with money. Donât you think so, Lu Benwei?â
Lu Benwei slowly stood up and walked in front of Zhang Minghua. He heaved a sigh of relief.
âYouâre right. With money, you can do whatever you want. Some of those soldiers are indeed crazy.â
When Fan Peng heard Lu Benweiâs words, he suddenly became angry. âLu Benwei, youâre making me look down on you!â
Zhang Minghua laughed out loud. âYouâve made up your mind. From now on, Iâm your boss.â
After that, he shook his wrist, showed off his Rolex, and showed Yang Xiaofei a victorious smile!
âSlap!â
Lu Benwei sent Zhang Minghua flying with a loud slap, and the entire place fell silent.
âThe most insane thing about those soldiers is that they protect people like you!â
Lu Benwei suppressed the anger in his heart and his voice was so cold that it made people tremble.
...
âWithout those soldiers, do you think youâd be able to talk big here? Iâm afraid youâve already become a pile of dirt! Do you think those soldiers are stationed in the secret realms just for that little bit of salary?
âWhy do you think those soldiers who arenât afraid of being crushed and not afraid of losing their bodies and bones set off to the outer realms, deep into the fog, and went on a punitive expedition against the monsters?
âItâs just so that you can sell your pigs here safely!â
