It's Finally My Turn to Be Reborn

Zeng Wenjie, who had struggled for most of his life, personally witnessed his good brother's wallet empty, his health ruined, his hair fall out, and him being cuckolded.

Then, thinking ab...

Chapter 437 Fishbone (5K)

Chapter 437 Fishbone (5K)

Sure enough, a dormitory of four girls can form eight groups, let alone mature women...

Anyway, Zeng Wenjie felt a little cold sweat for no apparent reason.

He hurriedly pushed Zeng Mi upstairs, then said, "I don't have any special requirements for you, just focus on painting. Well, by the way, cooperate with Feng Ji's work. I asked him to plan some different gameplay and story backgrounds for "Hero Killer."

Zeng Mi said calmly: "Oh!"

After Zeng Mi was led into the studio, everyone couldn't help but look at her with curiosity, and were then stunned by this lilac-like classical beauty.

Yuan Xiuqin's gaze towards Zeng Mi suddenly became extremely vigilant, and she examined him repeatedly, as if she was afraid of missing any details.

Zheng Shouyun said, "Oh, the painter is such a beauty! Yo, what's her name? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "Hello, Director Zheng. My name is Zeng Mi. I'm 38 years old and have two children."

When Zheng Shouyun heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes. He was so old and had two children. No wonder it was inconvenient for him to come to work before?

Zeng Wenjie wanted to laugh when he heard this, and introduced: "Everyone, this is Ms. Zeng Mi, also my sister. Well, she is the artist of our "Hero Killer" character portraits. Let's applaud and welcome our new colleague!"

Then everyone started to applaud, and the men were especially enthusiastic.

As for our female compatriots, they feel even more pressure...

Yuan Xiuqin alone was enough to make them feel uncomfortable, and then there was the even prettier Zeng Mi, who was almost too good to be true. Luckily, she was married, with two kids at 38... But how could she look so young? I'll definitely find a way to ask her for some beauty secrets so I can still charm a bunch of boys in a few years.

The male colleagues were very excited. A girl who was prettier than Yuan Xiuqin had arrived. From now on, there would definitely be some office struggles in the office. These two beauties would probably compete with each other and dress up in different ways!

By then, everyone will be able to feast their eyes!

Zeng Wenjie led Zeng Mi to Feng Ji and introduced her, "This is game planner Feng Ji, also known as Yuka. Sister Zeng Mi, please communicate with him more. He will arrange some painting work for you."

Zeng Mi extended her hand politely and said, "Hello, planner. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Feng Ji hurriedly shook her hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Sister Zeng Mi, thank you for your guidance! I always thought the artist was a man, but I didn't expect it to be a woman. It's really amazing. The character portraits you draw are very exquisite. I have admired them many times."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'll take Sister Zeng Mi to her post first to familiarize herself with it. Everyone, get busy. The game is about to be launched, and the workload is quite heavy recently, so please bear with me!"

Zeng Wenjie led Zeng Mi to a separate office and said, "This will be your position from now on. Painting requires inspiration and a quiet environment, so I'll give you independence here. If you don't like it, I can adjust it."

Zeng Mi shook her head and said, "No, I like it very much and am very satisfied! I hope I can create some value for you."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't be modest. Your value has already begun to be realized! Everyone praises your painting skills. You just need to maintain this level."

Zeng Mi sat down in her office chair and couldn't help but gently stroke the desk with her palm.

She actually longs for such a life.

It’s not that she loves working, but she also wants to have a normal life instead of being imprisoned in a cage.

"If you need anything, just tell Director Zheng directly and he will arrange it," said Zeng Wenjie.

"Don't you work here?" Zeng Mi raised her head and asked softly with a smile.

"I've been busy with the supermarket and snack shop recently. The supermarket is being renovated, and the snack shop is preparing for financing. This year, I want to make it bigger and stronger and strive for the award of the top ten outstanding young people in the country!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"Top ten in the country..."

After hearing this, Zeng Mi couldn't help but mutter.

She smiled helplessly and said, "At first I was surprised you made it to the top ten in the province. I didn't expect the gap to be so big this year. You're going straight to the top ten in the country?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "This is just like the ancient imperial examinations. It's very difficult to advance. Besides, almost a third of this year has passed, so I don't have much time left."

Zeng Mi said, "Then do your best."

"Well... this is your meal card. You can have lunch and dinner in the faculty and staff cafeteria on the second floor of Fengyuan No. 2 Canteen." Zeng Wenjie threw the meal card to her and said.

Zeng Mi was stunned. Looking at the meal card, many scenes from her school days flashed back to her mind.

At the beginning, the school did not have meal cards. People had to buy meal tickets and then use them to exchange for meals in the cafeteria.

She happily put the meal card away and said, "Thank you!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Then I'll leave first. If you have any questions, just call me anytime."

Zeng Mi turned around in her chair, waved happily, and said, "I wish everything goes well."

Zeng Wenjie put his hands on her shoulders to make her stop, and said with a smile: "I will always have a place for you to stay here, so enjoy your free life!"

Before leaving, he went to Room 207 to inquire about the advertising situation.

After he, Zheng Shouyun and Mr. Ma communicated, Penguin increased its advertising efforts, causing a lot of complaints online, but more and more people started to play with the memes.

"Invite this guy named Jiang Yong to try it out, then give him some travel expenses and ask him to write two more articles." Zeng Wenjie said to Zheng Shouyun.

Zheng Shouyun was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Are you doing a black review?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "This person's article was very popular. If he suddenly changed his tone and commented, 'It smells really good,' can you imagine how much buzz that would generate?"

Zheng Shouyun immediately laughed strangely and said, "That makes sense. I'll find someone in the industry to contact him."

Zeng Wenjie disappeared in a flash. His recent work focus has been on the management of the snack shop and the business alliance.

The business alliance's main purpose is to help Yan Peng launch a new business model, so that his "Brother Miao" can have the confidence to expand and get out of the mountains.

If we copy Haidilao's tricks and create a few different soup bases, it will be recognized by the majority of diners. It is only a matter of time.

The snack shop’s office is also located in Fengyuan’s entrepreneurial base, which is a business he is determined to keep in Fengyuan.

Unless, until the entire startup base can no longer accommodate the snack panic team, then consider relocation.

The two major industries, Marennia and Game Science, will definitely move out in the future as the space here is limited and not enough.

Moreover, Marennia needs to continue recruiting people. The ideas in Zeng Wenjie's memory have begun to dry up, and he needs to recruit some designers and planners who really know the ins and outs.

However, Feng Xiao can do all these things. Her abilities are there and she is more than capable of doing them.

For more things, we still have to cooperate with the authorities.

As "The Voice of China" is coming to an end, the second show is about to start. Moreover, the official side has begun to promote him and publicize the wonderful relationship between him and "Village BA".

When Fu Qianzhu saw Zeng Wenjie, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Boss, you're here."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "How is it going? Have many people come to the store to inquire about the news recently?"

Fu Qianzhu nodded and said, "Yes, there are some, but they are probably not ordinary guests."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "With this wave of publicity, our business has improved significantly, and those investors should be interested. I'll go find my journalist friends and spread the news of opening up financing."

Fu Qianzhu looked at him and said, "Don't be too busy. I see you've lost a lot of weight recently."

Zeng Wenjie immediately flexed his biceps and said, "Have you lost weight? Not bad, I don't feel like I've lost much muscle."

Fu Qianzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She glanced at him with a bit of resentment and said, "You haven't asked me to take you to training recently, you must have lost muscle!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay, I'll let you take care of it once I have time."

Fu Qianzhu became happy again.

The snack shop on Hospital Road was doing a booming business, and the decoration of the gold shop had reached the final stage. Ye Qiansheng no longer came to keep an eye on it, and usually only Zhuang Bifan and Zeng Wenjie took the time to come and take a look.

Zeng Wenjie started to be busy like a top, but he still tried his best to spend time to accompany Mu Qingyang at school and spend the night in the dormitory.

The company is located in the entrepreneurship base, so how convenient is it to take a rest in school?

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of Qingming Festival.

Zeng Wenjie, the boss, was so exhausted that he gave his employees a holiday. However, the people in the game studio expressed their willingness to work overtime, hoping to launch the game as soon as possible to slap the faces of those who were pessimistic about the game.

The studio is full of young people, and everyone is holding back their anger.

The internet was full of contemptuous remarks mocking Penguin for collaborating with a third-rate studio, and everyone looked down on Fengyuan. Moreover, the advertisement triggered intense public opinion and verbal battles, and the popularity remained high.

They all want to strike while the iron is hot, quickly finish the remaining work, and then launch the game to make a name for themselves and establish their reputation.

Zeng Wenjie was amused. What kind of amazing employees are these?!

However, he calculated the salary as overtime work. After all, the studio was under Penguin's account, so he didn't feel bad about selling his father's land. Brother Ma would not be petty about this little money. He was more eager for the project to be launched as soon as possible.

Mu Qingyang asked Zeng Wenjie expectantly, "Are you going back to your hometown?"

She was very enthusiastic about going back to her hometown. Ever since her family returned to Baishui Town, she had been staring at the calendar, looking forward to the Qingming Festival coming soon.

"I have to go back to visit my relatives. If I don't go back, I will definitely be criticized and told that I have forgotten my ancestors after making money." Zeng Wenjie said helplessly.

Life in the countryside is like this. If you don’t do something well, your fellow villagers will secretly point fingers at you and scold you.

Zeng Wenjie also wanted to take some time to rest and spend some time with Xiao Mu.

Mu Qingyang smiled and asked, "When are we leaving? I bought a set of clothes for everyone and I really want to give them to them personally."

Zeng Wenjie checked the time and said, "We'll set off soon. We'll stop in WQ County for a night, soak in the hot springs, and then rush back early the next morning."

When Mu Qingyang heard this, he immediately jumped up with joy and said, "Great!"

She really wanted to go out and play with Zeng Wenjie, but Zeng Wenjie was too busy. She thought it would be nice even if they just had dinner and took a walk in the school together.

"Princess, please get in the car!" Zeng Wenjie waved at Mu Qingyang and said softly.

"Little Jie, let's go!" Mu Qingyang said mischievously.

Zeng Wenjie was stunned when he heard this, then his mouth twitched and he said, "If you shout, you will be the one who suffers the loss."

Mu Qingyang said stupidly, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Then, Zeng Wenjie noticed that her eyes glanced at his crotch cunningly and then quickly moved away.

It's obvious that he has the connotation, but he pretends to know nothing. His acting skills are still as bad as before.

He drove to the downstairs of the dormitory and parked the car. After Mu Qingyang went upstairs to get the clothes he had bought, he left the school and headed straight for WQ County.

After getting on the highway, although he knew that Luo Hui was already drinking tea, it did not prevent Zeng Wenjie from still scolding him.

That’s 2 billion, damn…

I seem to be doing well now, but how difficult is it to make 2 billion?

Mu Qingyang couldn't understand what Zeng Wenjie was mumbling. It seemed like he was scolding someone.

When we arrived in WQ County, it was dinner time.

As soon as you get off the highway, you will see row of restaurants, all of which specialize in river fish hotpot.

There is a river running through WQ County, which is a great place to make a living by the water.

"Let's choose a restaurant for dinner. If the food is not good, you will pay for it." Zeng Wenjie parked the car in the parking space and smiled at Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang looked up for a long time and had difficulty making a decision. They were all fishmongers and he really didn't know which one to choose!

Finally, I randomly chose a restaurant and ordered a five-jin heavy carp.

"Little girl, two people can't finish it!" The kind-hearted boss couldn't help but persuade them to order a small one.

"Uncle, I'm a big eater!" Mu Qingyang said confidently.

The boss was stunned after hearing this, then he smiled and said, "Okay, don't waste it, this is a carp caught from the river."

After sitting down at the table, Mu Qingyang said happily, "I've heard that the fish in WQ County is delicious, but unfortunately I didn't get to eat it the last time I came here."

Zeng Wenjie praised: "Wow, I didn't expect you to know all the delicacies from all over Chongshan. You're quite good!"

Mu Qingyang said: "Yoshi!"

"Don't learn from the good things!" Zeng Wenjie stretched out his hand to hit.

"I learned it from you..." Mu Qingyang said unconvinced.

"..." Zeng Wenjie just kept silent about Cao Pi's father-in-law.

Soon, the hot pot was served.

Mu Qingyang asked curiously, "Is this sour soup?"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "Carp cooked in sour soup doesn't taste good. This soup base is made with pickled chili peppers, and the carp is fried in oil. Try it, you should like it!"

Mu Qingyang's eyes lit up, and then he said to the boss, "Uncle, please serve us the chili sauce."

The boss asked, "The peppers are very spicy. Can you get used to it?"

Mu Qingyang said proudly: "This spicy thing will drip directly into my eyes."

Zeng Wenjie looked at the unusually lively Mu Qingyang and couldn't help but find it funny. Perhaps, this was her true appearance, lively and capable, and friendly, able to joke with others.

He was very happy to see Mu Qingyang like this, and was also very happy that the cowardly and inferior Mu Qingyang had disappeared.

The carp is cut into large pieces and fried in oil, then cooked in a hot pot with a prepared spicy soup base. It tastes very fresh and a bit crispy, and the fish meat inside is still very tender.

Mu Qingyang fell in love with this delicacy as soon as he took a bite. He immediately started eating happily and didn't want to chat with Zeng Wenjie at all.

Zeng Wenjie was also hungry.

The boss couldn't help but smile when he saw the young couple eating in front of the door, feeling very accomplished. The way the customers ate was really a great honor for him!

Mu Qingyang somewhat overestimated her ability to handle spicy food. She was so spicy that she gasped while eating the meat. The meat was already spicy, and the fish was hot, so the spiciness doubled when she put it in her mouth, which made her tears well up.

"Little girl, I told you it was spicy!" The boss brought her a bottle of drink, probably because he saw how pretty she was.

Mu Qingyang hurriedly took the drink and took a big gulp without even saying thank you.

Then, with tears in her eyes, she said, "It's not spicy, not spicy at all, I can still eat it!"

After saying this, she picked up the fish, dipped it in the chili sauce, and put it into her mouth in big mouthfuls.

The boss was so happy that he couldn't help but praise Zeng Wenjie: "Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful and cute!"

Zeng Wenjie grinned and said, "Of course, the proudest thing in my life is that I found such a beautiful and lovely girlfriend!"

Mu Qingyang was so spicy that he was making "hiss, hiss" sounds, which made the boss and Zeng Wenjie laugh.

After finishing the meal, Zeng Wenjie stood up to pay the bill. When he turned around, he saw Mu Qingyang drinking water continuously.

"I told you to eat slowly." Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh.

"Uh uh uh~" Mu Qingyang stiffened his neck, nodded continuously, and continued to drink water.

After coming out of the restaurant, Mu Qingyang looked for water to drink in the car and cleared his throat repeatedly.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but glance at her, then asked, "It shouldn't be that spicy anymore, right?"

Mu Qingyang forced a smile and continued to drink and swallow the water.

"Are you stuck by a fishbone?!" Zeng Wenjie suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Ah... can you see this?" Mu Qingyang was suddenly shocked and said embarrassedly.

Zeng Wenjie frowned repeatedly and said, "Are you trying to kill yourself? You didn't even tell me you got a fishbone stuck in your throat?"

Mu Qingyang said weakly, "I'm afraid you'll scold me... Besides, I've been stuck before, and it's okay to just drink some water."

Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes at her unhappily and said, "Why would I scold you? Stop drinking water, it's useless. I'll take you to the hospital."

Something like getting a fish bone stuck in your throat is neither a big deal nor a small one.

Some people think that if a fish bone is stuck in their throat, they can just eat a few mouthfuls of rice or drink a few sips of water to push the fish out. In fact, this is a very dangerous behavior. Many people have died because of a small fish bone.

I drove directly to the ENT department of the county hospital, spent two hundred yuan, and asked the doctor to use a laryngoscope to remove it for her.

The fish bone was stuck diagonally in the throat. It was a small bone, about the length of a small fingernail.

Mu Qingyang looked at Zeng Wenjie with a guilty conscience and said, "Don't be mean to me."

Then she put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm not afraid of being fierce!"
