These words made Meng Ran and Liu Shengxing exchange a smile.
It was Lin Yifeng's behavior that made the two of them truly realize that their relationship with Lin Yifeng was very close, and had gone beyond the usual superior-subordinate relationship.
"Yifeng, you smoke?"
Meng Ran raised an eyebrow, asking with some curiosity.
Lin Yifeng nodded slightly.
"smoke."
"I used to smoke."
"I've been abstaining for a long time now."
Liu Shengxing shrugged, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He was young when he met Lam Yat-fung.
Although Lin Yifeng is still young, Liu Shengxing felt that Lin Yifeng must have started smoking a long time ago.
Judging from his familiar movements, he was clearly a seasoned smoker. Liu Shengxing couldn't believe when Lin Yifeng had started smoking.
Lin Yifeng didn't want to explain this matter.
During the most painful period of his previous life in Russia, he was inseparable from cigarettes and alcohol.
However, in this life, he rarely drinks or smokes. Today, he came out with his brothers to relax.
After being busy for more than two years, this is the first time we've all gotten together like this.
Lin Yifeng sat by the door, weighing the things in his hands. He glanced at the two people beside him and suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Old Liu, how do you feel about your life now?"
This unexpected question caught Liu Shengxing somewhat off guard.
"How about it."
Liu Shengxing squatted by the door, a cigarette between his fingers, and frowned as he pondered for a moment.
"If it weren't for you, Xiaofeng, I don't think I could imagine what my life would be like now."
When Liu Shengxing talks about this, he is filled with emotion.
If it weren't for Lin Yifeng's appearance, he might already be homeless on the streets.
The situation at his newspaper was far more difficult than it appeared. Because of his years of support for the newspaper, his family had fallen out with him, and his children were starting to resent their father, much like their mother.
Even at his age, he may still face a marital crisis.
Just then, Lin Yifeng appeared, and his family's situation began to improve. Now he has a car, a house, and power, and everything is going well.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yifeng not only saved the newspaper, but also his family.
Thinking of this, Liu Shengxing felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
Meng Ran watched the two talking and silently smoked a cigarette to the side.
Lin Yifeng glanced at Meng Ran out of the corner of his eye and asked a question as well.
"Brother Meng, once you're assigned to the unit, are you planning to work for me?"
"I've reserved a seat for you."
Meng Ran was slightly taken aback; he seemed not to have expected that Lin Yifeng had also prepared follow-up arrangements for him.
He hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat conflicted.
At this moment, Lin Yifeng saw his concerns and smiled to comfort him.
"The security company over there has reserved it for you."
"Just go and get it done when you come down."
"Don't worry about the salary, I'll definitely give you enough."
Meng Ran was both amused and exasperated by these words.
Given Lin Yifeng's lavish spending, he simply couldn't imagine how much money Lin Yifeng meant by "enough."
"OK."
"I'll think about it when the time comes."
Meng Ran smiled and nodded.
The three chatted outside for a while before turning back into the private room.
It would have been better if they hadn't left. Once they left, the guys inside completely let loose. Except for Xu Qingyi, who was still a bit more reserved, the other two bachelors were touching and hugging each other.
Only Donglai looked like a wronged child, sitting there watching the others return with longing eyes.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Lin Yifeng called the others to go back.
As for Xu Qingyi and the others deciding to play a little longer, Lin Yifeng reminded them not to stay out too late, and to make arrangements as they pleased later.
After Lin Yifeng left, Bai Yejin and the others waited in the room for a long time.
Several people gathered in Donglai's wife's room, chatting and eating sunflower seeds, waiting for their husbands to return.
"Where did you go? You reek of alcohol."
Despite her complaints, Ma Li had already gotten up to help Dong Lai take off his coat, and then handed water to the others.
This scene made Lin Yifeng and his companions quite envious.
What does it mean to have a wife, kids, and a warm bed? Just look at Ma Li and you'll know.
However, Bai Yejin quickly realized what was happening and followed suit, helping Lin Yifeng with his coat.
Only Miao Rou looked at Lin Yifeng and the others with a puzzled expression, searching for Xu Qingyi's figure in the crowd.
Seeing her anxious expression, Lin Yifeng tried to comfort her.
"Qingyi went shopping and will be back in a little while."
Hearing this, Miao Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
When they were almost done, on their way back to their room, Lin Yifeng gave Liu Shengxing a look, and Liu Shengxing understood instantly.
As soon as Liu Shengxing returned to his room, he immediately called Xu Qingyi.
Xu Qingyi, who was still playing, received a phone call and calmed down before returning to the hotel.
Meng Ran, who was smoking by the window, shrugged and turned to complain to Liu Shengxing.
"That Qingyi kid, despite his playful nature, is actually quite family-oriented."
"He'll definitely be a good man when he grows up."
Liu Shengxing nodded and spoke to Meng Ran as well.
"Don't let Qingyi's youth fool you, she was actually one of the earliest people to follow Xiaofeng."
"Him?"
"Knowing what's important."
Meng Ran nodded in agreement. Xu Qingyi was a shrewd man, and it was indeed much more comfortable to be around him.
However, apart from him, Gangzi and Guo Fengsheng had no concerns.
Late at night, when Lin Yifeng got up to use the restroom, he heard the sound of a taxi door closing downstairs. Looking down, he saw Guo Fengsheng drunkenly embracing two girls and heading towards a hotel.
Behind him, Gangzi was also with his arm around a girl.
However, the two clearly realized something was wrong, hesitated at the door for a moment, and decided to go to the hotel across the street to check in.
Lin Yifeng could only manage a wry smile at the sight.
He walked back while laughing and joking.
"Old Guo, Old Guo."
"You'll end up like Yang Biaozi sooner or later."
"Hey, take care of yourself."
The next day at noon, everyone ate out again.
Still drunk, Guo Fengsheng sat blankly in his chair, somewhat lost in thought.
While the group of women went to the front to choose cold dishes, Xu Qingyi teased them with a mischievous smile.
"Brother Guo, where did that hickey on your neck come from?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Fengsheng immediately covered his neck.
"Where! Where!"
