Chapter 107——Run away after cheating?
"So, you tricked him into working as a laborer?"
Yu Zhou stood at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall next to the window so that he could monitor whether anyone or anything was approaching. "Ending the zombie crisis and debt collection missions are different in difficulty. Did he agree to your request so easily?"
"Whether the bet is difficult or not is not a problem for him. The problem is whether it is fair or not." Ning Fei held the phone in one hand and the spray bottle in the other hand to observe the instructions on it. "I took the lead in the debt collection task, and he must be unhappy. The current goal is to end the zombie crisis, and the person I want is in his hands. If he doesn't agree, I will never be able to get the person, so he has an advantage. What's more, he has confirmed through my actions that Wang Haiyang is one of the key figures. Changing this bet is more in line with what he wants."
"So you took advantage of his mentality and said that our goal must be that Tianyue must complete this mission of saving the world?" Yu Zhou looked out the window and chuckled, "But in fact, Yue Fengping doesn't have such an idea. As long as the zombie crisis can be ended, he can accept anyone who can complete it, and he can even support the other party. He doesn't want to be a superhero. I didn't require that Tianyue Base must solve the crisis. As long as the goal is achieved, even if Duan Yunhong becomes a superhero, your 4 million will be safely in your pocket. You are cheating like this, it's simply a hundred benefits and no harm. It's a pity that you can come up with such a trick in such a short time."
"How can it be 'all benefits and no harm'? Isn't there a bet between me and him?" Ning Fei chuckled, "If he becomes a peerless hero, won't I lose the bet?"
"If you lose, you lose. Although you are a very competitive person, the fact that you lied to him like this means that you can accept this 'loss'." Yu Zhou said jokingly, "But even though I haven't met that Duan Yunhong yet, from the description you gave me of this person, if he knew you were lying to him, he would definitely be furious. If he found out after he won the bet, I really can't imagine what the scene would be like. I'm afraid all the joy would turn into anger."
"Maybe." Ning Fei said lazily, "But how would he know? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how can he know? As long as the zombie crisis is over, we will have won and lost, and he will destroy my location mark. Once I leave, where can he find me?"
"How heartless, little Ning Fei." Yu Zhou's laughter came from the receiver of the phone. "Although what you said is all right, why do I feel that something is wrong here? Are you in a hurry to get rid of him because you are afraid of what may happen in the future? Otherwise, why don't you just live a relaxed and happy world with him and make an appointment to compete in the next world?"
"'Easy and happy'? I'm here to work, not to go on vacation." Ning Fei replied, "And even if this world is not better, he won't help me, and may even deliberately set obstacles for me. How can there be any ease and happiness?"
Yu Zhou: "Oh, do you dare to say that your nightlife hasn't taken a qualitative leap since you got together?"
Ning Fei: "...I don't want to talk to you about this."
Yu Zhou: "Haha, come on, I don't know you yet? We are all adults, and you are not the kind of abstinent person, what's wrong with talking about adult topics?"
"Your feelings are not always right, Yu Zhou." Ning Fei lowered his eyes and said in a light tone, "I will not discuss or interfere with your private life, and I hope you will do the same to me. If I kept complaining about your love views, would you be annoyed? If I said that you actually spent 4 million luck points to ask me to do private work for your man's wish, and you are really a 'stupid person with a lot of money, come quickly', would you be happy?"
"..." Yu Zhou was silent for two seconds, then asked, "You wouldn't say what's in your heart under the guise of hypothesis, right?"
"you guess?"
"I won't guess. I've always been open with you about my love story, but you never told me anything. If we hadn't met by chance this time, I wouldn't know what type you like." Yu Zhou snorted and laughed, "Okay, just keep it a secret. Anyway, I know that you should pretend to care about the title of 'savior' in front of Duan Yunhong, right? I can pretend, and Lao Yue won't need him to act, because I'm the one who publishes your private work anyway."
"You don't look like a man to him, but more like his sugar daddy." Ning Fei couldn't help but complain, and then without waiting for Yu Zhou's response, he immediately said goodbye, "That's it, I'm hanging up."
After saying that, he really hung up the phone and threw the phone directly onto the sofa next to him.
He leaned against the sofa for a long time, then laughed at himself.

Not long after, Wang Haiyang invited Ning Fei to dinner, which was a rare occasion. It wasn't just a simple meal, the whole family had dinner with Ning Fei in the restaurant.
The reason was that the research funding and remuneration of the scientific research team he led had increased, and he wanted to celebrate. Moreover, Wang Haiyang thought that this had something to do with Ning Fei, so he had to treat him to a meal.
Ning Fei really had no words to express his grievances. Under such circumstances, Wang Haiyang would definitely not be willing to go to the Tianyue Base. He would really be making wedding clothes for others in vain.
He could only modestly say that this was the result of Professor Wang's outstanding ability and had nothing to do with himself. Wang Haiyang said categorically: "If you and Chen Yikun hadn't talked to me that night, I wouldn't have mustered up the courage to apply for more funding again. If you hadn't said you would send us off and asked us to wait outside for a while that night, we wouldn't have run into Director Duan and gotten into his car. He must have noticed me from that day on, and later told me that he had paid close attention to our group's research and thought we should be able to produce good results. So when I went to him to ask for more funding, he not only agreed quickly, but also said he would increase our benefits. It was incredibly smooth!"
After a pause, Wang Haiyang said in a low voice with an embarrassed look on his face, "Actually, I have some other doubts..."
"What?"
"After you became friends with Director Duan, maybe because he saw that we lived close to each other, he thought about paying attention to the projects in my group again." Wang Haiyang is a scholar after all, and it is not easy for him to say this out of self-esteem. He really regarded Ning Fei as a friend, which was why he revealed his innermost thoughts to him. After finally saying these words with difficulty, Wang Haiyang couldn't help but sigh: "However, I didn't expect that you would actually pursue Director Duan after you said he was your ideal type. And you actually succeeded. You are really proactive!"
Ning Fei said with a wooden face: "It wasn't very successful..."
Wang Haiyang said: "Director Duan directly interrupted the inspection at the Center for Superpowers and took you there for treatment. The news spread throughout the institute. How could it not be successful? Don't be so modest."
Ning Fei: “…”
How to put it, one is to let Duan Yunhong stop Wang Haiyang, and the other is to make Wang Haiyang think that he was the one chasing Duan Yunhong. Ning Fei was really speechless after being hit by these two boomerangs. Wang Haiyang keeps on talking here, which is really adding salt to his "wound".
——Forget it, let it be whatever it is.
Anyway, Wang Haiyang will not go with me, so what he thinks is none of my business.
On the night that Ning Fei was having dinner with Wang Haiyang's family, it was Duan Yunhong who came to pick them up. Although this was just Director Duan's stop after working overtime, it is really hard to explain the relationship between the two. Ning Fei was too lazy to explain himself. After saying goodbye to Wang Haiyang briefly, he got into Duan Yunhong's car.
Duan Yunhong watched the whole process of Ning Fei coming out of the door and getting into the car. When the car door closed, his first words were: "Isn't it valuable anymore? So you treat me coldly?"
Ning Fei turned to look at him: "Huh?"
"Let's talk about your attitude towards Wang Haiyang." Duan Yunhong commented as he started the car. "Before, after getting off the car, you chased him to talk for a short distance. Now he took the initiative to follow you out, but you simply waved your hand and said goodbye to him. Isn't this an obvious attitude gap?"
"Even if it is, so what? I've already snatched it away for you, do I still have to help you maintain the relationship with your subordinates? That's a nice thought." Ning Fei's tone was lazy, and there was a hint of alcohol in his voice. "In fact, his children are so annoying. Especially the youngest son, who is noisy like a devil and has no manners. When I give him some snacks, he automatically comes to me. It's as if I have something in my hand and he will get it as long as he wants it."
Duan Yunhong replied calmly: "But it's easy to use, right?"
"Ha, what else? Why would I bother to deal with a little brat?" Ning Fei sneered, "There were a few times when he insisted on pestering me, and his mother had to come and talk to me. There was no way to avoid it."
"So you let others think you were going to pursue her?"
"Pfft, how do you know this?" Ning Fei said happily, "I see, it was Wang Haiyang who revealed it to you, right? He looked like someone who couldn't stand your interrogation. Did he tell you that I said you were my ideal type?"
Duan Yunhong didn't answer, but glanced at him.
Ning Fei understood. This was what tacit consent meant. His happiness became more obvious. "Hahaha, it's convenient to use you as a shield. Wasn't it the same model in the previous world? Otherwise, he would misunderstand that I like little boys. I would rather be misunderstood as liking outsiders than be considered a T-fetishist."
Duan Yunhong: "Do you like Renwai?"
Ning Fei: "Why, you want to become a non-human?"
Duan Yunhong was speechless again.
Ning Fei laughed for a while, then calmed down. The two walked in silence for a while, but it didn't seem awkward.
Just before arriving at Duan Yunhong's house, he spoke again, asking about a topic that had never been touched upon before.
"What are you going to do next?"
Ning Fei was a little distracted and didn't react for a moment: "...what?"
Duan Yunhong didn't turn around to look at him, and spoke in a cold tone: "You can't take the person with you, so are you going back to Tianyue Base?"
Ning Fei thought about it and smiled again.
"You're right. There's no point in me staying here. I should prepare to go back."
