Hiss~
I could probably drive a Fortune 500 company to bankruptcy, right?
Does this make the ultimate nesis of insurance companies, the industry Terminator?
So you see, without a touch of mischief, you’d never know your own destructive power.
Although insurance companies are backed by the state and can’t go bankrupt, collapsing a departnt might be a piece of cake.
Too bad! Wang Zhiping got in a bit too early...
ng Lang shook his head and chuckled at his own wicked thoughts.
"Hey bro, don’t keep feeding Xiao Lang drinks, let the kid eat so more dishes; he’s still got to travel today." Mom was starting to get unhappy.
"Cough! Big bro, you two are a generation apart, let drink with you instead." Mr. ng also stepped in tily.
"No worries, I know Xiao Lang’s alcohol tolerance, this is nothing." The uncle laughed and filled ng Lang’s cup again, seemingly targeting him today.
ng Lang glanced at his eager uncle and began to catch on.
So this was a cat-and-mouse ga, intending to confuse first with drinks, then hit with this Versailles narrative, so I’d spill all the beans, right?
So you’re trying to pry information out of !
I thought, why is Uncle so aggressive today? Your approach is twisted enough!
Sure enough, those who do business are all cunning folks!
ng Lang realized the situation, but played it cool; after all, he was a mature man now.
"Bro! How did you make these potatoes? They’re so delicious, teach will you?"
At that mont, ng Qingqing, seeing that Mr. ng temporarily distracted the uncle, quickly pulled ng Lang to the side, putting on a show of humbly asking for cooking tips, and dutifully placed a piece of at in his bowl.
ng Lang glanced at ng Qingqing and knew she was covering for him, and he smiled.
"What else can I do, just...when the potato isn’t looking, give it a cut," he remarked.
ng Lang held his chopsticks, mimicking a stabbing motion.
"Pfft, cough cough cough..." ng Qingqing imdiately choked, struggling to recover.
"Bro! Can you stop with the bad jokes during als?"
"You’re not really interested in learning anyway."
"You figured it out and you’re not even thanking ."
"Why should I thank you? They say ’raise a sister for a thousand days, use her once.’ All the pain I endured as a kid is now being repaid..." ng Lang’s eyes were wistful.
"Fine then, since you’ve said so, I’ll depend on you to take care of from now on."
ng Qingqing quickly caught on to the essence, laughing shalessly.
"Hey! But bro, did you notice that Uncle’s been a bit off today? Did you offend him?"
ng Qingqing elbowed ng Lang and whispered.
"Hehe! The old man’s interest is not in the wine, but in the scenery..." ng Lang hinted aningfully as he gestured outside.
"Could you stop speaking in riddles, seriously, don’t you realize that act makes you super annoying?"
"Uh... Is it really that annoying?"
ng Lang rembered, ng Qingqing wasn’t the first one to say that?
He sighed in resignation, "Alas! You don’t understand, wanting to say yet stopping, wanting to say yet stopping, and yet saying ’It’s cool, what a good autumn.’
So much to say, so hard to say, so many words...that cannot be said!"
"Here we go again!" ng Qingqing went nuts.
"Hey! Little bro, did you get a new phone? That doesn’t look cheap."
On the other side, the uncle suddenly pointed to the showy phone Mr. ng had deliberately put on a prominent spot on the table, asking curiously.
"Oh!" Mr. ng modestly took a bite, then lazily said,
"It’s all thanks to this brat. I don’t know why he bought so Hers models, just casually handed three phones to the three of us.
A bunch of ssy features, good only for playing gas really; otherwise, I think my old clunker is easier to use."
There! Mr. ng wasn’t the type to take things lying down, he held a grudge!
The uncle was sowhat choked by the response but still puzzled. "Three of them? These phones must be expensive, right?"
"Indeed, I hear they cost around five or six thousand each, this kid went outside and started spending recklessly. I’ve spoken to him about it, but he just won’t listen. Really!"
Mr. ng acted as if he was helpless and shook his head, but the pride in his tone could be slled across the dining table.
"Oh!" The uncle gave ng Lang a pondering look.
"Xiao Lang, I heard...you secured a 10 million investnt and are planning to buy shares in your dad’s pig farm, is that true?"
Imdiately, everyone at the table was stunned.
The old man was taken aback, then glanced at ng Li.
So, this was why he had been brought here today!
"I say, big brother, where did you hear that news? It only happened yesterday, and you know about it today?" Mr. ng exclaid in surprise.
"Heh! I just overheard it last night."
How could there be any secrets in a village? Especially with such big news.
"What? From what you’re saying, this is really happening?" ng Li said incredulously.
Mr. ng looked toward ng Lang.
"Ahem! Well, besides doing insurance, I also have a part-ti job at a company, running errands for them.
The company’s boss is quite wealthy, and he wanted to set up an ecological farm around Wu City, so he asked to scout for a suitable place.
I sent our village’s geographical location, photos, and conditions over, and he was really interested."
ng Lang brought out the excuse he had already prepared.
"So that’s how it is..." The uncle’s eyes sparkled.
An investnt of 10 million, even if rely for appearances, would be enough for his trading company to feast on.
"But how co I heard that when this investnt ca in, your dad would be the general manager?" ng Li asked another critical question.
"Heh! The boss doesn’t like to manage things, but he has hired a professional managent team; it’s not like my dad makes all the decisions."
"Oh! That makes more sense." ng Li was relieved.
How could there be a boss who completely hands off control? It sounded far-fetched when I first heard it.
But even so, it looks like Mr. ng’s family is set to prosper!
The smile on his face broadened even more.
"Little brother, as family, we should help each other out. I won’t speak for other things, but helping out with sourcing materials for my trading company should be easy, right?"
Mr. ng could see ng Li’s intentions by now.
However, he felt sowhat uneasy and looked towards ng Lang again.
"Of course, as long as it’s reasonable, legal, and doesn’t harm the company’s interests, who we work with doesn’t really matter, right Dad?" ng Lang said with a smile.
"Mm! That’s the idea."
ng Li, hearing this, knew his trip hadn’t been in vain and imdiately felt much better. He looked again at ng Lang.
"Xiao Lang, when will you introduce that boss to your uncle?"
"Mm! I’ll ask him later, but he might not have ti to co over."
ng Lang casually brushed off the question and realizing his uncle was about to speak again, quickly refilled his drink.
"Uncle, I have to hit the road soon, so for the remaining matters, you and my dad can discuss them yourselves. I don’t really understand these things.
Co, this is to you, here’s to your imminent success!"
"Alright! If you’re drinking, one cup isn’t enough. Today is joyful, and it’s also a farewell drink, for everything to go smoothly, you must drink six more cups!" the uncle said with a laugh.
They were using small cups, so six cups weren’t too much.
ng Lang laughed. "Alright then, six cups!"
He picked up the drink and downed six cups in succession before finally bidding farewell to everyone, confidently embarking on his journey back to Su City...
These six cups.
One for the hotown, one for the distant places.
One for tomorrow, one for the past.
One for living, one for death...
