791: Chapter 796 Old Demon 791: Chapter 796 Old Demon “Scum!”
After Anton had left, Xiao Ran finally expressed her opinion, and this ti Kate didn’t stay silent.
She said to Xiao Ran very seriously, “This ti, I agree with you.”
“You can’t say that either.
Anton did it for work, after all.”
Yang Yi felt compelled to speak up for Anton, as the boss and as a man, he had to stand up for Anton.
But Yang Yi found the fire turning towards him.
“Just for work?
Look at him and you’ll know he takes pleasure in playing with won.
Didn’t you hear what he said?
Claiming emotional trauma, shaless!”
It was rare, but this ti Xiao Ran didn’t say anything; instead, it was Kate who expressed her strong disapproval.
Xiao Ran just looked at Yang Yi with cold eyes and huffed, “n are all the sa.
One look and you can tell you’re all no good.
Are you all itching to take Anton’s place or what?”
In the Organization of Water, where n overwhelmingly outnumber won, no one could refute Xiao Ran’s words at this mont.
“Alright, alright.
Anton should be back soon.
If he really got the intelligence, then we’ll probably be off to Donetsk soon.
The woman just now did ntion Donetsk, right?
So we better get ready to set out.
Everyone, go about your business.”
Xiao Ran snorted and then said to Kate, “Let’s go!
Hmph, a bunch of shaless wretches!”
The two won left, and the bunch of n who talked about dispersing didn’t move.
They waited for Xiao Ran and Kate to be completely gone before restrained laughter slowly filled the living room.
Finally, Zhang Yong said softly, “You have to admit, Anton has a way with won.”
Yang Yi said with a face full of envy, “More than just a way, he’s got plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Impressive; I respect that.
Why can’t I do the sa!”
“All that wasted potential, you’ve got a pretty boy face!
If I had what you have—” he snorted disdainfully and then Zhang Yong, looking like he was upset with Yang Yi for not living up to potential, pointed at him and said, “I’m not trying to criticize, but look at you, handso and young, and what’s the result?
You have two won by your side but can’t touch either.
Tell , aren’t you at a loss?”
Rodriguez added, “Our boss is also rich!”
Chris laughed and said, “Exactly.
If I were you, I would definitely have more won than Anton.
Boss, don’t give up a whole forest for two trees.”
Hans cleared his throat and said, “That’s not quite right.
n should have so sense of responsibility.”
Yang Yi imdiately pointed at Hans and said, “At least Comrade Hans has the correct values!”
“But you can still have your fun outside.
Of course, you have to treasure your beloved woman, but with your looks, why not enjoy your youth while you can?
If there are no feelings involved, it doesn’t count as cheating.
Plus, you don’t have a girlfriend.
You should seize the mont for pleasure, or else you’ll regret it when you reach my age.”
Looking at Hans, who seed to be giving him a serious lesson, Yang Yi was dumbfounded and said, “You…
I take back my complint.”
With the Organization of Water crowd, having skewed values was the norm.
If they had normal moral standards, that would be abnormal.
Just then, the oldest among them, McDonald, said with a wistful expression, “Back in my younger days, I had no shortage of won.
I didn’t want to marry, but there were too many won who wanted to marry , way too many.”
Glancing sideways at Yang Yi, McDonald shook his head and said, “Wasting resources, a cri most foul!”
With McDonald saying such things, Yang Yi was in despair.
He simply fell silent.
What could he say?
It’s not like he could change their thoughts.
A group of people started to chat idly, but Yang Yi simply stayed silent.
They were all boasting more than the next, and it made Yang Yi feel utterly embarrassed.
After a long chat, Zhang Yong suddenly noticed Yang Yi.
He scrutinized Yang Yi curiously for a few monts, then suddenly exclaid in surprise, “No way, sothing’s off!”
Yang Yi felt awkward under the gaze and curiously asked, “What’s off?”
Zhang Yong looked utterly astonished and said, “You can’t possibly be a virgin, can you?”
Yang Yi reflexively retorted, “What are you talking about?
How could I still be a virgin?
I haven’t been one for a long ti, okay!”
Zhang Yong pointed at Yang Yi, turned his head to the others, and said, “Look!
His face is turning red—he’s still a virgin!”
Chris was extrely shocked and blurted out, “Fuck!
No way?”
Yang Yi, looking impatient, replied, “What kind of joke is this, think about it, could it be possible?
In this day and age, could it?”
Zhang Yong scratched his head and said subconsciously, “Yeah, you’re right, how could that be possible these days.”
That was close, Yang Yi thought, having narrowly escaped having his secret discovered.
Feeling like he had dodged a bullet, he coughed twice and said, “I just rembered sothing.
Anton doesn’t have a nickna, does he?
Every ti we take action, we call him by na, which isn’t good.
How about we give him a nickna now?”
Zhang Yong slapped his thigh and suggested, “Let’s call him ‘Bee,’ what do you guys think?”
Yang Yi asked, puzzled, “Bee?
What’s the significance?”
“Duh, busy collecting nectar!”
Most of the group looked bewildered; they didn’t understand the implication of ‘collecting nectar’ and couldn’t grasp why this extrely fitting nickna ant anything.
Yang Yi said, “It’s quite fitting, but they don’t understand.”
Just then, Chris said with a look of admiration, “I think Anton is capable of anything; he’s like a Swiss Army knife.
Why not call him just that?”
‘Swiss Army knife’ was indeed apt, but giving soone such a grand nickna felt a bit odd.
So, while everyone was still pondering whether it was suitable, Yang Yi said in a grave tone, “I have an idea—how about calling him ‘Old Demon’?”
“Old Demon, Old Demon…”
After mulling it over for a mont, Zhang Yong nodded and said, “Anton’s quite cunning; he is truly like an Old Demon.
‘Old Demon,’ this na isn’t bad.”
The intricacies of Chinese language are profound.
Words that Yang Yi and Zhang Yong could imdiately comprehend were not so readily understood when translated into English for others.
Chris, looking confused, inquired, “What exactly does ‘Old Demon’ an?”
Yang Yi promptly replied, “You know, like vampires, elves, tooth fairies; all those cunning and cruel, clever and shrewd creatures that never do any good.
Think of what such creatures might be like when they get old—that’s what Anton is like.
So, we call him ‘Old Demon,’ ‘Old Demon’ for short.”
Paul slapped his hand and said, “That’s right, ‘Old Demon,’ this nickna is pretty good.”
With Anton not present, Organization of Water unanimously approved Yang Yi’s suggestion.
From now on, Anton would be called ‘Old Demon.’ It was a nickna given by others, and whether he liked it or not, Anton wasn’t going to shake it off.
With Anton’s nickna settled without any dispute, Yang Yi, feeling rather pleased with himself, saw Zhang Yong and chuckled, “Brother Yong, I’ve noticed you’re quite accurate when giving others nicknas, but when it cos to giving yourself one, well…
it seems a bit lacking in self-awareness, huh?”
