Song Yan was obviously unhappy about having his controller taken away, but seeing that the two people on his left and right had already started to cooperate tacitly to pass the level quickly, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
Just now I was thinking about finding a way to use Han Chen's words against me, but now I think...
Song Yan said angrily, "There have to be some limits when it comes to making friends. Otherwise, you guys are lawless and have completely forgotten that I'm the Vice President of RG. Since you both have projects invested in by RG, I can certainly be considered your financial backer, right? Is this how you treat your financial backer?"
Han Chen and Lu Zhishu looked at Song Yan at the same time, and then they looked at the TV screen together tacitly.
Han Chen: "Go down there, it's safer down there."
Lu Zhishu: "There's a gun in front. If you hit the barrel, something will fall."
The two completely ignored the shouting of their "financial backer" Song Yan.
After being ignored, Song Yan felt two crows flying over his head.
He was so angry that he thought these two men were unreliable, so he went to find their two female best friends.
As a result, when they turned around, Zhou Mo and Shen Pan were facing each other, holding their phones and operating them fiercely.
"Did you get it?" Zhou Mo asked
"I don't know. The internet is bad. There's no response." Shen Pan was extremely anxious and quickly said to Song Yan who was staring at them, "Your internet is too bad. It's time to change it."
"Hey, I have a bad temper," Song Yan stood up with his hands on his hips and argued, "You four are not polite at all. You complained that I didn't invite you to play games, and you complained that my home internet is too slow. Don't come over again."
Four people, eight eyes, all looked at Song Yan in unison, with no expression on their faces.
Song Yan panicked for a moment, "No, I mean..."
"The boss is here."
"Prepare."
"The network is fine, the network is fine."
“Got it!”
None of the four paid any attention to Song Yan, and they were all busy with their own things.
Song Yan was completely ignored...
At this moment, Song Yan felt like a complete scapegoat.
The game was monopolized by someone else, and the only two best friends didn't even raise their heads in order to grab the goods.
The cold air from the air conditioner blew over his head, making his heart feel cold.
But what can I do? I have to entertain my friends even if it means crying.
***
Song Yan's house is a multi-story building. Three internet-addicted teenagers were playing games downstairs and talking loudly. Song Yan also said that playing games without smoking was boring. In order to have a better gaming experience, Song Yan sent Zhou Mo and Shen Pan upstairs.
There is also a small home theater upstairs. Zhou Mo and Shen Pan just wanted to watch a movie that was taken off the theaters but would cost extra to watch online. Song Yan has free VIP access and an ultimate audio-visual experience, so the two of them went upstairs hand in hand.
Regarding smoking, Zhou Mo thought that Han Chen didn't smoke much, so there was no need to mind him smoking occasionally. Moreover, it was a rare occasion for him to have such a happy moment. He didn't have many social circles and friends, so instead of worrying about Han Chen smoking, it would be better to let him interact with more people.
As for Lu Zhishu...
Zhou Mo asked Chen Pan: "I don't think I've ever seen Lu Zhishu smoke, not even once."
She had even seen Han Chen before. At that time, he was sitting downstairs as a "wife-watching stone". He must have been feeling depressed and smoked a few cigarettes to relieve his boredom.
"Lu Zhishu doesn't smoke," Chen Pan said. "He doesn't like the taste of smoke in his mouth. It makes him physically nauseous."
"That's good. Not smoking is good for your health."
"He doesn't smoke, but he's been exposed to secondhand smoke."
"In the business world, it's unavoidable."
"Yeah," Chen Pan said, "Does Han Chen smoke? Probably not. As a doctor, he should know that smoking is harmful to health."
"Don't think that way. Smoking is harmful to health, but it won't cause amputations," Zhou Mo said. "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Respiratory doctors don't smoke, gastroenterologists don't drink, but respiratory doctors drink and gastroenterologists smoke.' If smoking could break a leg, I guess he wouldn't touch it at all."
Shen Pan burst out laughing.
downstairs.
Song Yan handed Lu Zhishu a cigarette, but Lu Zhishu refused.
Song Yan was surprised: "Really not smoking?"
Lu Zhishu: "I really don't smoke."
Song Yan: "I didn't expect that a big boss like you wouldn't even smoke."
Lu Zhishu: "I can't adapt, you guys can smoke."
Song Yan had no choice but to form a smoking duo with Han Chen to enjoy the atmosphere and fun of smoking and playing games together.
"Did you two ever go to an Internet cafe when you were little?" Song Yan asked while holding a cigarette in his mouth and playing a game in his hand.
"How could I not have been there?" Han Chen sat on the sofa, took a quick sip, and his mind was filled with memories of the past.
"Internet cafes were probably the youth of our generation, especially those black-market ones," Lu Zhishu said, staring at the TV screen. He then glanced at the surrounding smoke and said, "The atmosphere was pretty much the same as it is now."
"You two look like top students, so how come you've been to a black internet cafe?"
"Were there any internet cafes at that time that were not illegal?" Lu Zhishu asked back.
Song Yan thought for a moment, "It seems not. How did you hide it from your parents? Were you ever beaten all the way home from the internet cafe by your parents with a belt?"
Lu Zhishu: "No, I don't stay overnight. I'm very restrained and log off on time within an hour or two."
Han Chen took a light puff of cigarette, and white mist spread in front of him, making the shadows hazy.
He said: "When I was a kid, I didn't do anything out of line. My older brothers would take me to illegal internet cafes. They didn't dare to stay overnight, so they would go home at a certain time."
"You guys are still good," Song Yan said, "When I was a kid, my parents didn't care about me. I skipped classes and stayed in an internet cafe for seven days and seven nights, but they didn't care about me."
"You were really free when you were little," Lu Zhishu said. "I could go to the internet cafe just to take a break from my busy schedule."
"I still want someone to take care of me," Song Yan said, "but unfortunately, no one did. I finally got my parents to take care of me for once during the college entrance examination, but they made me miss the Chinese language test. Since then, I think it's better for me to take care of myself."
"Will you end up being alone after managing things for so long?" Lu Zhishu asked.
"..." Song Yan was speechless and turned to look at Han Chen. "Old Han, I've been fed dog food by you and Zhou Mo so many times in front of me, and you don't feel sorry for me? Speak for me?"
"What?" Han Chen put out his cigarette.
"..." Song Yan gave up completely. "Well, I made friends with Zhou Mo and Shen Pan, so I deserve to be fed dog food."
"By the way, you've been with Lu Yaocheng for so long, but you've never met a girl you like?" Lu Zhishu asked.
"How could I not have encountered it?" Song Yan also put out his half-smoked cigarette and said helplessly, "Liking doesn't necessarily mean fate. I'm not as lucky as you. So, cherish it. A mutual affection and a heaven-sent match are not easy to come by. It's a low-probability event. If you meet one, grab it quickly. If you miss it, there's really no regrets."
"So who do you like?" Lu Zhishu guessed, "Your sister-in-law?"
“…”
Song Yan froze in place for a moment.
