Chapter 1012: Chapter 993: Maturity or Immaturity
Zhou Ziqing’s lips curled slightly as he calmly said, “It’s alright now! Soone found , wanting to diate for you guys, but I didn’t rush to agree. I planned to first ask you face-to-face about the specifics before deciding!
Now that I’ve got the details, Deng Gang did sothing untrustworthy. We’re friends, so I’m definitely on your side!”
Upon hearing Zhou Ziqing’s words, Yue Feng nodded with a calm expression, choosing not to delve deeper into the topic.
Actually, Zhou Ziqing’s words have a double aning; not only did he convey what he wanted to say to Yue Feng, but he also subtly stated his position.
If Yue Feng gave in, he might add a few more words. However, if Yue Feng didn’t yield or simply ignored the subject, it would an there’s nothing to discuss, and Zhou Ziqing would wisely avoid ntioning it again.
The reason Zhou Ziqing can maintain a long-lasting friendship with Yue Feng is largely due to his skillful and tactful way of handling matters. When things aren’t made clear, there’s room for maneuvering, and Zhou does this flawlessly.
Yue Feng understood what he ant, but he was not prepared to compromise. As a man, the words he spoke are as solid as nails, and he certainly wouldn’t back down.
Since Yue Feng didn’t take the bait, the lunch that followed beca a simple al gathering. Zhou Ziqing called so good friends over, and everyone ate and drank simply, with a very harmonious atmosphere.
The al ended at 1:30 in the afternoon. Zhou Ziqing generously went to pay, then hired a designated driver to drive them back to the Fishing Base.
As they were about to get off, Yue Feng took a deep breath and said lightly, “If it were another matter, Zhou Bro, if you asked, I’d certainly give you face, but not in this case with Deng Gang.
Leaving aside my personal feelings with Xiaomin, as an angler, Xiaomin’s right hand is nearly useless. This is not a matter of money or simply a matter of face, but whether our club can stand in this circle!
If I, as the captain and club leader, compromise unclearly, not only will our team’s morale fall apart, but we would have no status in the eyes of our peers!
In this circle, Zhou Bro, you definitely understand what I’m trying to convey. Thanks for your hospitality, let’s et again when we have ti!”
“You… ah!” Zhou Ziqing didn’t expect that after the al, Yue Feng wouldn’t bring this up further. But just before getting off, the matter was clarified, leaving Zhou Ziqing a bit passive, with the rest of his prepared words unused.
…
After getting out of the car, Gong Zheng, with a clear gaze, returned to his residence and, upon opening the door, found that the girl was watching a live stream on her phone. She was wearing hot pants on the bottom and a big T-shirt on top, dressed very lightly.
“Drinking?” The girl frowned and glanced at Yue Feng with a slightly disdainful expression.
Yue Feng nodded, “Drank too much, my head is a bit uncomfortable. Help tell Zhao Ran that my competition pass is with him. I won’t be going for the afternoon check-in. Let him bring Xiaomin and the others to check-in for , then get the stuff back!”
Seeing Yue Feng’s sowhat off mood, the girl’s disdainful expression imdiately turned into subtle concern.
“What’s wrong? You seem off!”
“Nothing! Just a headache from drinking too much!”
“Don’t want to talk about it? Is it about Xiaomin or the issue with Deng Gang’s challenge?” The girl, so smart, imdiately grasped the key issue.
Yue Feng irritably scratched his head, “Zhou Ziqing invited for a al just to discuss this, which got a bit heated! But he expressed it subtly, and I couldn’t say much in response!
During the al, I held back without engaging, but before getting off the car, I couldn’t hold it anymore, so overall, I’m a bit annoyed!”
“So what, you don’t have such a deep connection with him, just so ordinary interactions as friends!
Why be troubled by this kind of relationship? When he decided to ask you himself, he already had a stance in mind! He might either be playing both sides or trying to help to return favors.
Really, Fengfeng, I’m finding it harder to see through you. Sotis you’re frighteningly mature and sensible, and other tis a bit naive. In adult society, isn’t this kind of thing quite normal?”
While speaking, the girl used her cool fingers to gently stroke Yue Feng’s forehead, her eyes full of tenderness.
With the girl’s counsel, Yue Feng’s mood finally softened a bit.
“Hey, actually I don’t have many friends in the circle, and few who catch my eye. Didn’t expect Zhou Bro to be like this too…”
“Tch, this is nothing! Along the way, what’s impressed most is that only with strength can you have the right to speak! Just think, if you were easily defeated in the previous competitions, would people pay attention to you?
On the contrary, after things happened, look at the friends we’ve had in our family and company, like Brother Zheng and Brother Liu, facing the sa issue. What was their stance?
So friends are limited to certain scopes, while others can be trusted with your back!
Fengfeng, I’m not trying to stir things up, but as long as the interests are enough, friends like Zhou Ziqing don’t have firm standpoints—at critical monts, they might betray or even sell you out.
Whether in competition or under special circumstances, you need to be cautious. Don’t be like a child, believing whatever people say!”
Yue Feng nodded but remained silent for quite a while. The girl’s guidance was blunt and very realistic, but upon careful reflection, it certainly seed that way.
Originally, before Yue Feng prepared to do live-streaming sales, he called Zhou Ziqing for advice. Although Zhou Ziqing gave so sincere answers, he remained reserved about the core parts of his own business. However, Yue Feng never intended to compete on his business, so he didn’t press on certain details.
Later, as Yue Feng got better at streaming and selling products, and his company thrived more, it beca Zhou Ziqing who took the initiative to contact Yue Feng more often. In essence, much of their interaction was maintained by Zhou Ziqing, mainly for Yue Feng’s Musk Wine and effective small dicine.
Just as the girl said, only when you have ability and skills do people notice you.
“Are you feeling better now? Isn’t check-in until five in the afternoon? There’s still plenty of ti. I’ll keep an eye on the clock for you, nap for a bit, and get up around three. It’s worth understanding the competition’s fishing conditions, right?”
Yue Feng said, “Sure, then I’ll nap for a while!”
Before long, Yue Feng gradually started snoring lightly. anwhile, the girl looked at this pale, thinner guy in front of her and sneakily kissed his cheek.
Despite Yue Feng usually appearing as an impressive man, the inner pressure just gets carried hard. The girl easily saw through Yue Feng’s emotional stress and comforted him with a few words, helping his tightly strung nerves relax.
An hour and a half later, the girl woke Yue Feng right on ti.
After a nap, Yue Feng felt completely recovered, went to wash his face, then wandered to the adjacent room where Zhao Ran was, called out Zhao Ran, and the two leisurely headed downstairs to the check-in site.
