Chapter 23: Daring to Speak Frankly and Bend One's Waist for Beauty

  "It's still Brother Lei who is awesome, if it weren't for you, I would have been driven mad by now."

  Liu Xiaoli said with a stern expression, her gratitude overflowing from her words, as she respectfully raised her glass.

  "Your brain is not even as good as a watermelon!" Bai Xiaoguang scolded, but he handed a piece of freshly cooked meat to Lei Dapeng and flattered him, saying: "Try it, Brother Lei, try the fresh one. Now I know why your kicks are so accurate - it must be because you ate a lot of donkey meat in the past."

  Pu Sheng was choked, these two good-for-nothings are not good at fighting, but their verbal sparring skills are only slightly inferior to Lei Dapeng's. It's indeed not easy for Lei Dapeng to be embarrassed by these two, he turned around and scolded them a few times, "Don't worry about it, just stop causing trouble, in the future, keep your mouths shut tighter, don't act like you're running your mouth."

  The two nodded in agreement, and then Lei Dapeng turned around and praised Dan Yong again: "To say who is ruthless, Egg Brother is ruthless, he controlled the whole scene at once. You guys learn from him. When fighting a snake, you must hit its seven inches; when fighting, you must hit the vital point. If you just talk without practicing, you will suffer losses sooner or later."

  Those two guys naturally had a lot of admiration for Egg Brother, and Dan Yong smiled and said: "Let's just provoke them, it's no big deal. Being afraid of trouble isn't the style of City Management."

  Look at this, it's so easy to talk about, such a big boss has to turn around and put on a smiling face for Egg Brother. Those two fat brothers are even more envious, when flattering, Bai Shuguang suddenly remembered and asked Dan Yong: "Egg Brother, what did you say earlier? That girl is called Tao Xuehe... do you know her?"

  "That girl doesn't look bad, her breasts are even bigger than mine, just that her mouth is a bit big, but women with big mouths also have their advantages." Li Xiao Li touched the fat on his chest and began to talk about the girl. As soon as he heard that having a big mouth had its advantages, Lei Da Peng let out a sly laugh and whispered: "Are you going to say that it feels good when someone is inserted?"

  "Hmm, Brother Lei, you're really clever. I was about to say something and you've already guessed it." Lì Xiǎolì said with a sly smile, and the three chubby men laughed so hard they were swaying from side to side, looking utterly delighted. It wasn't just their physical appearance that was similar, but also their taste in humor, which seemed to be equally bad. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been inseparable and considered each other close friends.

  At this time, the door creaked, thinking that there was another dish to be added, Lei Dapeng shouted "come in", and when he responded, Lei Dapeng, who was facing the door, was stunned, looking at Shan Yong, just about to speak, was stuffed with a chopstick of meat by Shan Yong, wanting to speak would definitely not be good words, still blocked.

  It's Ning Jia, pulling a chair to sit down, Li Zi and Bai Rou couldn't help but laugh as they gave up their seats to the beauty. They met at the square when catching donkeys, and Lei Ge said she was Dan Yong's high school girlfriend, so the two of them didn't dare to be presumptuous.

  Ning Jia sat down and asked Lei Dapeng in a stern tone, "Lei Dapeng, do you consider me as your classmate?"

  "Who says I'm not? What kind of talk is this?" Lei Dapeng said with a pat on his chest.

  "You're also too much, Tao sister is not only my friend but also my boss. The first time we meet, you guys are controlling her boyfriend... You make me unable to work in the company anymore?" Ning Jia said angrily, and as soon as she said this, Lei Dapeng and Shan Yong were both shocked with a stunned face. Lei Ge stared at the two mischievous fat little brothers, who rubbed their noses with a embarrassed expression.

  "You don't know if it's not?" Lei Dapeng felt a bit embarrassed.

  "It was she who first said we were country bumpkins." Bai Xiaoguang said.

  "It was she who first asked someone to follow us." Lì Xiǎolì also found an excuse.

  No surprise, although a bit apologetic, but it's towards Ning Jia and Dan Yong. As for that boss, the three of them didn't care who he was. Ning Jia pointed at Lei Da Peng and a few others, saying directly: "I don't know about this, so let's just pretend to be classmates and friends, make an appearance, go downstairs to the manager's office, and apologize. Will that do?"

  "Hmm... Lei Dapeng shook his head like a drum, unwilling to give in. He shook his head and the two younger brothers followed suit. But Shan Yong just smiled, knowing it wouldn't be easy to get these three to admit their mistake. Ning Jia looked at Shan Yong for help, but unexpectedly, Shan Yong also imitated Lei Dapeng's expression and shook his head."

  "Never mind, I'll apologize on your behalf then. Shall I apologize to you first?" Ning Jia said with a haughty tone, intentionally provoking the few people.

  And also came prepared, with a few pleased pats on the hand, five welcoming models entered from outside the door, all wearing long skirts, short jackets, and hair styled to one side, their heights uniformly over 1.7 meters, if you didn't look at their faces they could be mistaken for quintuplets, but looking at their faces, they were even more beautiful than quintuplets. Each of them held a fruit platter in hand, smiling sweetly as they placed it on the table, giving the several "pig brothers" a professional and charming smile.

  Oh no, Lei Dapeng's eyes followed Qianying as she moved.

  Plop, a small drop of water on Lixiao's thick lips could no longer bear the weight and fell down.

  Pah! Bai Shu Guang covered his nose, it was so sour. His position allowed him to see the chest of a tall girl who was possessed, and he almost got a nosebleed.

  The man left, and the brothers finally came out with a sigh of relief, looking quite disappointed. The embarrassing scene fell into Ning Jia's eyes, but she pretended not to have seen it, smiling and asking: "Who will go apologize? I'll introduce you to a beautiful model, and I guarantee she'll take the initiative to ask you guys out to play. How about that? You've thought about it, right? Every month, Tao Jie has new models under her wing, and there are countless beauties. Knowing Tao Jie is like having the opportunity to know countless beauties. If you really bring one of them out for a spin, your face will be saved, okay? Is apologizing that difficult? It's just one sentence."

  Li Xiao Li's body moved slightly, almost standing up, fortunately she restrained herself, not wanting to be the first to stand up. Ning Jia smiled and pointed with her finger: "First come, first served! I'll count to three, after three, what was said earlier is invalid... one, two..."

  No need to count, Lei Dapeng couldn't resist the temptation first, and he got up and ran away with a fart. The two brothers followed suit and rushed out. The three of them squeezed into the corridor, discussing in a low voice, don't rush, go together... Don't squeeze, I'll go ahead, no, Brother Lei goes first.

  Ning Jia in the room was already laughing so hard that her face was flushed, and after a while, she saw Shan Yong, who was smiling, sipping on white wine with his intestines, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. This seemed to include Ning Jia, who let out a sigh and looked at Shan Yong again. After a moment, Shan Yong smiled and said, "You're still the same as before, quirky and clever."

  "But you're different from before." Ning Jia said softly, seemingly with a hint of regret.

  "Is there? I didn't think so." Dan Yong put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Jia.

  It seems that she is looking for the feeling of being radiant in the sun, but it's gone. In Ning Jia's eyes, there is only a suffocating and oppressive air; It seems that she is looking for the feeling of tenderly gazing at each other, but it's also gone. What Ning Jia sees is the worry on his face and an inexplicable desolation.

  "There are so many things that have changed, and I don't recognize them anymore." Ning Jia's hands were unnaturally propping up her cheeks, as if she had a lot to say, but also felt a kind of relative silence. He used to be so sunny and handsome; now, with his buzz cut and dark face, he looked so rough and thuggish. From that brutal group beating, she could tell; from Uncle Tao's humble attitude, she could tell - Single Courage had become a certain type of person, the kind she least expected him to be. After a long pause, she muttered: "Single Courage, if I need help with something, will you still help me?"

  "Of course, if I can be of help, I'll go downstairs and apologize in a moment," said Dan Yong.

  "I'm not referring to this matter... Help me out, go find a decent job, live a dignified life, don't do it like this anymore, okay? There's an address here, if you have nowhere to go, try this place..."

  Ning Jia sheng hesitated, took out a business card and gently placed it in front of Shan Yong. It was the business card of a manager of a private department store. Shan Yong's eyes were soft as he looked at Ning Jia, but he awkwardly scratched his forehead, not knowing what to say. Before he could think of anything, Ning Jia had already slowly stood up, and under Shan Yong's slightly stunned gaze, silently turned around, slowly walked out, and gently closed the door.

  Still pitied, but this kind of warmth and pity, even if it can't be accepted, can't help but make Dan Yong's heart feel a slight sense of gratitude. Yes, she hasn't changed, still as kind as before, but what about me!?

  Put away the business card, and the phone in his pocket rang. It was Simu Xian. He hadn't been in touch with this sour brother for a long time. As soon as he answered, after hearing just one sentence, Shanyong's calm mood suddenly turned into a boiling pot of oil and water. He stood up in shock, asking in surprise:

  "Have you seen Professor Li? When?"

  …………………

  …………………

  First floor, three fat men rushed to the general manager's office, and security personnel avoided them wherever they passed. The three vicious fat men came with a fierce momentum, although it was unclear what had happened again, but earlier the boss had accompanied them with a smile, and everyone below knew that they were not to be trifled with. At the door stood Tao Tao's boyfriend Pan Wenjie, who stretched out his hand to block their way, but unexpectedly Lei Dapeng rolled his eyes, scaring this refined and handsome guy into retreating in disarray, and he ran off to call for help again.

  The loud noise almost burst open the door, and three people rushed in, startling Tao Xuanhe to the point where she almost cried out for help. However, the three men stood before the table, with Lei Dapeng speaking in a manner that was quite seasoned: "Tao sister, sorry about this. Don't bother with these two pigs; they can't do anything except eat and cause trouble."

  The two pigs naturally refer to Da Bao and Er Bao. Calling his companions like this, Tao Xuanhe was shocked and his eyes widened instantly. There's even more unexpected, Li Xiao Li piled up a face of traitor smile, also hastily apologized and pointed at Bai Shuguang: "Tao sister, don't bother with this pig, it's all his fault."

  Bai Shu Guang was speechless. Huo Da shouted: "Hey, I'm calling you two brothers, if I'm a pig, aren't you two pig brothers?"

  Tao Xuanhe couldn't help it, suddenly she shook her seat, covering her mouth, and still burst out laughing loudly. At this time, she also realized that the three people opposite her were indeed not to be trifled with.

  This isn't, one look at Tao Xuanhe's smile and Lei Dapeng knew everything was fine. He slapped the white meat with a loud "pa" sound and chuckled: "You're a pig but you dare to call her Auntie? Look how beautiful Sister Tao looks when she smiles! This stinky mouth of yours, go find a thatched wall to bump into later."

  "It's just that... Tao sister, if you had just smiled earlier, we would have definitely fallen over. Your smile is so powerful, it can knock down all of us city management officers, and it's simply called 'one smile to conquer the city.' " Li Xiao Li flattered, Bai Shu Guang also didn't want to fall behind, was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tao Xue He who was laughing so hard she couldn't catch her breath, asking: "Hey, wait... can I ask a question?"

  "Ask away, I'll answer whatever you ask." said Lei Dapeng.

  "Ask me, ask me." Bai Shuguang seized the opportunity.

  "I asked Ning Jia if he promised you guys some benefits, how come the three heroes are willing to compromise?" Tao Xuehe said with a mocking tone, now without any anger, just feeling ridiculous, it turns out that these three not only look like fools, but also speak like fools.

  "Haha, heroes have always had a hard time passing by beautiful women." Lei Dapeng said with a pleased expression.

  "Ning Jia promised to introduce us to a model girl, huh? Brother Lei, she won't cheat us, will she?" Li Xiao Li asked uncertainly as he turned his head back.

  "Everyone is just like you, deceiving and cheating, Sister Tao. We are apologizing to you with a sincere heart... Actually, I really didn't intentionally offend you. Look at our conditions, not even an ugly woman would pay attention to us, let alone a beautiful one. So after a long time, we react particularly strongly to beautiful women, just like earlier... That wasn't scolding you, it can only prove that you are too beautiful, making us overreact... Right, Lei Ge, Li Ge?" Bai Shuguang said with a subtle tone.

  Those two were also straightforward, nodding in unison: "Right! That's it."

  Tao Xuanhe was first startled, then delighted, and again stunned, before being teased into laughter. When Ning Jia came down, she saw San Bao surrounding Tao Tao, flattering her with one sentence after another, making Ning Jia feel a chill. Tao Xuanhe, laughing uncontrollably, asked Ning Jia: "Ning Jia, I have a new task for you. Tomorrow, introduce all the beautiful women we know to Lei Dapeng, Li Xiaoli, and Bai Shuguang. They recognize me as their elder sister, so I must make some gesture... Ah, what about Shan Yong?"

  Surprised, Ning Jia hadn't even spoken yet, when Lei Dapeng thought Tao Tao was still concerned about the last one. He patted his chest and volunteered: "Sister Tao, you sit down, I'll drag him over to apologize to you... What he said is really outrageous, actually threatening our brother-in-law, isn't it."

  "Right, right, we're cultured people, if we've done something wrong, we must apologize."

  "Let's go... together."

  The three of them said they would do it, and the two women couldn't stop them. Lei Dapeng took the lead on horseback, rushing straight out the door with huge strides. From a distance, Dan Yong came down, and the three of them shouted as they chased after him, pulling arms and sleeves, pushing people. The three of them almost spoke in unison, begging: "For the sake of our country and our brotherly friendship, you must help us with this matter."

  Three brothers pushed San Yong straight to the general manager's office, and a male friend standing aside was hiding in embarrassment. As soon as they arrived at the door, Ning Jia and Tao Xuehe came out. Standing still, Tao Xuehe, who was tall and slender with big eyes and a large mouth, had already calmed down from her previous anger and smiled as she stretched out her hand. San Yong hastily shook it and said: "Sorry, Sister Tao. If I hadn't stopped you just now, it would have become a brawl, which would have been even worse for your business... And how should I address this gentleman?"

  This Tao Xuanhe is not much better than Ning Jia, although she lacks a bit of warmth, but has a few more points of nobility, and her plump figure has a lot of feminine charm, maybe those three vicious fat men are really looking for trouble because of the evil taste in their hearts.

  "Come, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Pan Wenjie." Tao Tao waved her hand and the man quickly came over. Shan Yong shook hands with him apologetically, but received a not-too-friendly glance in return. However, Shan Yong didn't mind, having already taken advantage of him once, he couldn't expect him to have a good expression on his face.

  Now that they've started, it seems like the argument is meaningless. The three of them are taking turns flattering the two beauties, and it's all so endearing. But in everyone's eyes, Shan Yong is a different person, his demeanor elegant, unlike before when he would hang out with the guys without paying attention to his appearance at all. This has left Ning Jia slightly surprised.

  From surprise to delight, from delight to joy, this change made Tao Xuanhe pay extra attention to these people. He invited everyone to have lunch together, but Shuang Yong apologized and said he had just received a call from a teacher who came from afar and wanted to see him, so he excused himself first. The three brothers' eyes were fixed on the models in the hall, pointing and discussing, and they had already set their sights on their targets. Even Dan Ge didn't send them off. On the contrary, Ning Jia and Tao Xuanhe sent Shuang Yong to the door and watched him hail a taxi and leave.

  "Are you satisfied now?" Ning Jia asked, turning her head back. The person had left, but Tao Xuanhe's smile still lingered on his face, clearly very satisfied that he had saved face.

  "Hmm, quite satisfied. Jiajia, you're really something, how did you come up with this idea?" Tao Xuanhe thought of the three pig brothers and couldn't help but smile.

  "It's not difficult in itself, people with special physical conditions are very sensitive, and naturally they will be hostile to discrimination. Actually, if you just treat them as friends, they would be willing to give their hearts out to you." Ning Jia said.

  "Are you going to take it out or should I? Hehe." Tao Xuehe smiled and turned his head back, seemingly preoccupied as he gazed at the taxi driving away in the distance. He pointed quietly and asked: "What about him? How do you rate him? That time when we had a car accident, I really didn't realize he was someone special."

  "Do you really want to hear?" Ning Jia asked, feeling that Tao Tao's gaze at Dan Yong seemed somewhat off.

  "What? Is there something that can't be said? If it involves your privacy, I won't ask," Tao Xuehe said with a smile.

  "Don't be interested in him, no matter what." Ning Jia seemed to joke and reminded Tao Xuanhe in a low voice: "He is poison, the most toxic kind. If you accidentally get stained with it, one day you will find that you can't forget him and can't quit him either."

  It's better not to mention it, but now that I've mentioned it, I'm actually interested. He turned around and looked at the car shadow that had long since disappeared. Tao Xuanhe unexpectedly recalled the feeling of palpitations when facing him, which was originally fear, but now it seems like it wasn't fear after all.

  As soon as she entered the door, her boyfriend Pan Wenjie was very attentive and asked about her lunch, but for some psychological reason, at this moment, Pan Wenjie's politeness and handsomeness did not give her a warm or happy feeling, instead, she felt that this victim was quite pitiful, even those three silly guys couldn't be compared to him...
