In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and the table was a mess, but there was still a bottle of liquor in front of everyone.
Yi Feng glanced at Ning Feipeng and Feng Ze, who were already somewhat drunk.
It seemed like the right moment.
Yi Feng turned to Ning Feipeng with a sigh, âBrother Ning, I plan to open my new store soon, but I donât have enough capital for stocking up. I canât even borrow goods to make the place look good.â
âItâs really tough!â
Ning Feipeng, being very loyal, immediately patted his chest upon hearing Yi Fengâs difficulty, especially about not having money to stock up, âDonât worry, brother. I have goods in my store, and I can lend them to you. Just say the word.â
âRight, my brother Feng is here too, and heâs a major distributor.â
Ning Feipeng turned to Feng Ze, âBrother Feng, Yi Feng is like a younger brother to me, trustworthy. I vouch for him with my reputation. Heâs short on cash to stock up now. Could you consider a consignment arrangement, to provide goods for my brother first?â
Feng Ze smiled, having known before coming to drink that this gathering was arranged to ask him to supply goods to Yi Feng.
He didnât agree immediately because the matter involved risks. He needed to see what kind of person Yi Feng was before deciding whether to help.
However, after drinking together, he had gained a preliminary understanding of Yi Feng.
This young man was not simple!
He was articulate and considerate in his dealings, had a unique and long-term business vision, was humble, and not ostentatious. Such a young person would surely be successful in the future!
Truly a formidable young man!
Therefore, for such an entrepreneurial, promising young man, he was willing to help, considering there might be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
âAh, no problem. Yi Feng, whatever computer components you need, just give me a list. Iâll personally arrange for them to be delivered to you, on a consignment basis.â
âIf you canât sell them, no worries, as long as the goods are unopened, you can return them to me,â Feng Ze said with a smile.
Lan Caiyi, covering her mouth with a laugh, said, âIt seems General Feng quite appreciates Brother Yi!â
âHelping young people start their business is the right thing to do,â Feng Ze said with a righteous demeanor.
Yi Feng didnât care whether he genuinely wanted to help. Since he had promised in front of Ning Feipeng, the deal was almost certainly secure.
He quickly stood up to toast Ning Feipeng and Feng Ze, âThen I must thank Brother Ning and President Feng!â
âDonât mention it,â Feng Ze smiled, his eyes squinting, and clinked glasses.
Cheng Bo also hurriedly raised his glass, âBrother Yi, if you need anything for the opening, just tell us. Weâll definitely help if we can!â
âExactly, exactly, weâre all one of us, nothing to talk about,â Jiao Tongxing, nearly drunk, slurred his words.
Old Wan watched this scene, dumbfounded.
Damn it, when I asked for help, why did each of you keep silent, making excuses?
Now, this Yi kid asks for help, and you all agree so readily?
Damn! What benefits can this Yi kid offer you?!
Old Wan was fuming inside but did not join in the toasting, drinking sullenly by himself.
Ning Feipeng saw this and snorted.
Such a narrow-minded person!
You only have yourself to blame!
The atmosphere remained lively as everyone toasted.
However, Yi Feng became the center of attention at the table, while Old Wan was marginalized, ignored by everyone.
Another hour passed, drinking until 9 PM before they stopped and chatted without their glasses.
They had been drinking for over three hours.
Old Wan, seeing the drinking winding down, stood up and approached Feng Ze.
âPresident Feng, Iâll be relying on you in the future!â
âIâm waiting for your good news!â
âThis glass is for you!â Old Wan said, downing a glass.
Feng Ze chuckled, âPresident Wan, youâre too polite.â
Old Wan said, âThis meal, Iâll treat you!â
âWaitress!â
The waitress standing by the door came in.
âWhat can I do for you, sir?â
âHow much is the bill for todayâs table?â
The waitress took out a notebook and replied, âA total of 2,700 yuan.â
âAlright, Iâll pay. Give me the bill; put it on my account!â Old Wan waved grandly.
However, the expressions on Ning Feipeng, Feng Ze, Lan Caiyi, and Cheng Boâs faces were off.
Ning Feipengâs face showed a hint of anger, Feng Ze shook his head with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Cheng Bo watched coldly, as if watching a monkey perform.
Lan Caiyi whispered, âPresident Feng, this person is hopeless.â
This dinner was invited by Ning Feipeng, and he actually took it upon himself to pay the bill, in front of so many people, wasnât this disregarding Ning Feipeng?
And asking the price of the meal in front of so many people, did he think they ate too much? Too expensive?
Old Wanâs act of eagerly offering to pay the bill was a big mistake.
Then, Yi Feng chuckled, âAh ah, president Wan, never mind, I had Wang Tie settle the bill an hour ago.â
âThis meal I owe Brother Ning a favor, this little matter, letâs not trouble Brother Ning.â
Ning Feipeng and others at the table looked surprised.
They hadnât expected Yi Feng to have settled the bill so early, and his words were very tactful!
Ning Feipeng felt relieved and smiled, âYou, you, little brother, youâre really cunning.â
Feng Zeâs eyes showed even more appreciation for Yi Feng.
This young man really knew how to behave and do business!
Old Wanâs face showed astonishment, âYou already paid the bill?â
After speaking, his face showed embarrassment.
âCough cough, then I really let Brother Yi spend money, how about I invite everyone to a sauna next?â
âLetâs all have a bath, get a foot massage, relax a bit, how about it?â
âMen can only have a heart-to-heart talk when theyâre bare-chested, eh!â Old Wan suggested.
Feng Zeâs expression cooled, and he waved his hand, âIâll pass. You guys go if you want, I have things to do later.â
Going to a sauna often implied more than just bathing.
With Lan Caiyi by his side, what was Old Wan thinking saying such nonsense?
Even the fox-like Feng Ze was losing patience with him, showing signs of irritation.
âPresident Wan, Iâll pass on the sauna. I donât have that hobby, haha. You go ahead with President Cheng and President Jiao,â Ning Feipeng bluntly refused.
âAh, hehe, President Wan, Iâd love to, but itâs too late now, I have to get home, letâs plan it another day!â Cheng Bo found an excuse to leave.
Jiao Tongxing, also uninterested in the sauna, stood up to leave, though he was staggering.
Old Wan was left awkwardly standing there, looking foolish.
He hadnât expected these people to not enjoy going to a sauna.
Then, Yi Feng stood up and said to Wang Tie, âWang Tie, first take brother Cheng and brother Jiao downstairs to the car, tell the driver to be careful on the way.â
âSure thing, Brother Feng!â Wang Tie stood up, nodding, and helped Jiao Tongxing downstairs.
Afterward, Yi Feng turned to Ning Feipeng and Feng Ze, âBefore coming here, I had Wang Tie book a tea room nearby. President Feng, Brother Ning, how about we go have some tea and rest?â
âThis suggestion sounds good, drinking tea can also help sober up.â
Ning Feipeng, who loved tea, became interested upon hearing about the tea room.
Feng Ze smiled slightly, âAlright, then letâs go have tea.â
He glanced at Old Wan, still awkwardly standing there, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Old Wan, you really canât even compare to a young man!
Have you really lived your years in vain?
The group began to gather their things to leave.
Yi Feng casually asked, âPresident Wan, coming?â
Old Wan, suppressing his anger, coldly replied, âYou guys go ahead, I wonât join.â
âOh.â
Yi Feng grinned and then turned to leave.
Old Wan coldly watched Yi Fengâs departing back, fury rising in his heart.
Whatâs so great about this kid?
Damn, he really stole the spotlight today!
