Chapter 78 - New Year's Eve Event
Chapter 78 - New Year's Eve Event
Ning Fei was not at all surprised when she heard Duan Yunhong's question.
He just smiled and commented sharply: "The bastard has really been forced into a corner... He actually decided to go to the emperor first to 'file a complaint'. Is this a desperate move?"
"I knew it was you who did it." Although Ning Fei didn't admit it, Duan Yunhong could tell that it was his consent. "What on earth did you do?"
"That's a long story." Ning Fei replied, "But I'm about to go out for dinner, and there are people waiting for me. You're not going to ask me to report my work without even letting me eat, right?"
"Is someone waiting?" Duan Yunhong sneered and almost blurted out "Then let him wait." However, this statement was a loss of face, so Duan Yunhong changed his words: "When are you going to report? After dinner?"
Ning Fei said happily: "Boss Duan, I can't even participate in the New Year's Eve event? Your company employees don't have New Year's Day off?"
"You have New Year's Day off, so who will give me a holiday?" Duan Yunhong replied, "Ji Zhenwei is asking me this question face to face now, what do you think I should say? Or should I just expose the true and false young master?"
"No, no." Ning Fei still wanted to use this matter to contain Ji Xingzhe. He didn't want to expose it so early, so he finally started to say something soft, "Why are you face to face with Ji Zhenwei? Are you back?"
Duan Yunhong: "I also have New Year's Day holiday."
Ning Fei could hear his sarcasm, but she didn't argue with him. She just said, "Do you really have to go to the Ji family? Just come out. Your feet are on your body. How dare Ji Zhenwei tie you up?"
Duan Yunhong continued to sneer: "Go out? The Ji family is having a New Year's Eve party, and I'm leaving the good meal behind to go out and eat?"
Ning Fei was used to him: "Mr. Duan, did you choose me? Come on, come here. I'm not going to starve you to death."
Duan Yunhong asked: "Don't you have an appointment? Don't you want to go out for dinner?"
"Why are you playing dumb? Can't you guess that we're going to the Lin family? They won't tell you about the extra pair of chopsticks." Ning Fei replied, "Unless you NG and appear in the same frame with Xie Baolin."
"Him? Tsk." Duan Yunhong laughed disdainfully, "It's probably about 30 to 40 minutes to get there now, with the traffic jam."
"Okay, then I'll go to the Lin family and tell them first." Ning Fei tapped the countertop of the side cabinet with his fingertips, "Then I'll wait for you at my house. I won't start the meal until you show up, okay?"
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Don't I know you? Just eat when you're ready, so that I don't have to listen to your pity when I get there." Duan Yunhong complained, and he didn't even realize that the corners of his mouth curled up, and then quickly calmed down.
He hung up the phone, put away his cell phone, and left the room. At this moment, the living room of the Ji family was already very lively, and the catering team invited from outside was serving the meals. Ji Zhenwei saw Duan Yunhong and motioned for him to come over and sit down.
Although Ji Zhenwei questioned what he did, he had to save face in front of so many guests, so he would definitely spend the night as "good brothers". Duan Yunhong no longer had to act with him, and he felt much better. He walked over and said, "There's an important incident outside. I'm leaving now."
Ji Zhenwei was puzzled: "What's so important about this? We're going to have dinner soon."
"We'll talk about it in detail later." Duan Yunhong was too lazy to make up a detailed excuse. He patted Ji Zhenwei on the shoulder, turned around and went to the door. Ji Zhenwei couldn't possibly stop him forcibly in such a situation, so he could only let him go first.
Ji Xingzhe, who was hiding not far away and observing silently, looked at Duan Yunhong's back as he left, and his uneasiness grew stronger.
I don’t know why, but every time Duan Yunhong came, Ji Xingzhe got flustered; when Duan Yunhong turned around and left, Ji Xingzhe got even more flustered. It seemed that every time Duan Yunhong left the Ji family, he was preparing to bring more trouble to Ji Xingzhe.
——Dad, will he not believe his brother’s words just because I got vaccinated in advance…?

Although the Lin family was somewhat puzzled by Duan Yunhong's arrival, they still welcomed him to have dinner with them and even took out their family's treasured wine to entertain him.
Lin Shengjia was somewhat surprised, and kept asking questions about the situation in Shenzhen during the meal. Duan Yunhong was not very enthusiastic about him, but he basically answered all the questions. In the end, it was Lin's father who spoke up to stop him, and Lin Shengjia did not talk about Shenzhen's economy at the dinner table.
However, after dinner, Lin Shengjia still followed Ning Fei's house and discussed with Duan Yunhong the progress of Shenzhen's "Business Storm". When he heard that Duan Yunhong, in addition to running the Ji family's business, had also started some other industries, and that they were all related to the Internet and digitalization, he couldn't help but admire him. Lin Shengjia also requested that at least half of the industries allocated to him in the future should be these "emerging industries."
Duan Yunhong agreed indifferently.
In fact, in theory, it would be fine to give it all to Lin Shengjia, after all, he can’t take it away. But Duan Yunhong is the kind of person who thinks, "Why should I give you something that's not yours? I'd rather throw it away than give it to you." Therefore, Lin Shengjia can only take the part that was agreed to be given to him.
Lin Shengjia received the good news and the promise, and was happily returning home when he ran into Luo Chenghong who just came out of the Lin family. When Luo Chenghong saw his delighted look, he sneered, "How could you be so tactless as to act as a light bulb? It's a miracle that Duan Yunhong didn't kick you out."
"I was going to find him anyway, why did he kick me?" After Lin Shengjia knew Luo Chenghong's true identity, he no longer showed any respect to his elders when they interacted with each other in private. He stood at the door and looked at Luo Chenghong, with a condescending tone: "It's you, you kept harassing Teacher Ning during the meal just now, right? Teacher Ning doesn't like you, and Mr. Duan was also there, you were blatantly trying to destroy other people's relationships, which is really annoying."
"'Relationship'? Ha, you are too naive. Duan Yunhong is not someone who would easily fall in love. That Ning Fei also looks difficult to deal with." Luo Chenghong replied nonchalantly, "But if you mean a 'sex relationship', then it's not really a relationship. Not to mention one more person like me, even if there are several more, it wouldn't be considered a disruption."
"I don't want to hear you talk about 'impart'. Go away and don't do this kind of thing in my house again." After saying that, Lin Shengjia walked into the house decisively. Luo Chenghong glanced at the Lin family on the left, then at the Ning Fei family on the right, snorted and laughed, then turned and left.
——It seems that I can’t break through here, let’s see if I can find some fun over there.

On the other side, at Ning Fei's home.
Ning Fei was pouring water from a thermos in the kitchen. After mixing the warm water to the right temperature, he left the kitchen with one cup in each hand, and then handed the cup in his right hand to Duan Yunhong: "Here you go, 'Economist', moisten your throat."
Duan Yunhong then touched the wall of the cup and said, "Warm water?"
"Or else?" Ning Fei sat on the sofa next to him and took two sips. "Do you still want to quench your thirst with wine? Haven't you drunk enough at the Lin family?"
Duan Yunhong said: "I mean cold water is fine. Have you been influenced by the locals to drink warm water?"
Ning Fei pointed to the kitchen and said, "Then don't drink it. Just go to the tap and drink as much as you want."
Duan Yunhong asked: "Did you eat firecrackers?"
Ning Fei stood up to take the water from his hand, but Duan Yunhong shook his hand and dodged. Ning Fei stood in front of him and said condescendingly: "Get out."
"I don't want to quarrel with you." Duan Yunhong didn't move. "I came to listen to what you did."
Ning Fei stared at him coldly without saying anything.
Duan Yunhong looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered his head and drank two sips of warm water. Then he put the cup down, took out a box from the bag he brought to Ning Fei's house and handed it to Ning Fei.
Ning Fei was still wondering whether drinking warm water was considered a concession when he was stunned by the box in front of him. Looking closely, it was the packaging box of a new mobile phone.
"I bought them in Shenzhen. They're the latest models." Duan Yunhong said to him, "You didn't say you didn't buy new glasses. Go out and buy them tomorrow."
Ning Fei: “…”
Ning Fei: "I'll take that as you saying 'I'm sorry'."
Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not refute in the end.
Ning Fei then took the phone and put it on the coffee table next to him. Duan Yunhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm and composed, and he said calmly: "Now can you tell me what you did behind the scenes again?"
Ning Fei sat down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him. Duan Yunhong sat over from the single sofa, and Ning Fei finally decided to let this foul-mouthed man go and began to talk about his recent experiences.
The main thing was to discuss reconciliation at the police station and to engage in some "speculation and intimidation" with Qin Ran. There is not much to say about the reconciliation. Anyway, the core idea is that "the Qin family uses money to buy reconciliation." The conversation with Qin Ran was more detailed, and after finishing it, Ning Fei finished his half cup of warm water.
“Oh, by the way, I had another question at that time, but I forgot to ask it later.” Ning Fei put down the cup and seemed to be talking to Duan Yunhong, but also seemed to be talking to himself, “How did those unemployed people recognize Qin Ran? Do they really go to the school gate every day to watch the students leaving school?”
"...How would I know? You didn't ask the police yourself." Duan Yunhong paused before answering, but he quickly handed his cup to Ning Fei and changed the subject casually, "Do you still want to drink?"
"No. If you want, I'll go and get it myself." Ning Fei didn't really care how the police investigated, and his thoughts returned to the main thread. "Anyway, I threatened Qin Ran with those words because I wanted him to convey them to Ji Xingzhe and make Ji Xingzhe lose his composure. I thought he would find a way to deal with you, but he really chose such a risky method. I don't know if he is bold or too stupid."
Duan Yunhong held the cup in his hand and said meaningfully, "It's not that you don't know, you know it too well. You did this just to make Ji Xingzhe move, use him to stimulate me, and force me to do things for you? This week, you didn't call me or say a word, but you just beat around the bush to assign me work?"
Ning Fei leaned against the sofa and said, "Mr. Duan is a very busy man. I dare not bother you."
Duan Yunhong turned his head and looked at him: "Still talking nonsense? Is there anything else you haven't said?"
"What else? That's all." Ning Fei recalled, "The rest are just trivial matters, you don't want to hear them."
"Here." Duan Yunhong pointed at Ning Fei's face. "Have you removed the stitches? Why don't you wrap it with gauze? Is it a special case?"
"This? Ha, I did it on purpose. I was planning to disgust Xie Baolin." Ning Fei gently touched the scar with the back of his finger. "He said you kicked me off the bed because of my disfigured face, so I wanted to sit opposite him with my disfigured face to disgust him."
Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a hint of displeasure: "You can't trust a word Xie Baolin says."
"Indeed, this guy's XP is also very strange. He also said that wounds would make him more excited." Ning Fei looked at him and said suddenly, "I don't think he really wants to do anything to me. What he means is that since you have slept with me, he also wants to try it with me - is he actually interested in you?"
"...Huh?" Duan Yunhong was indeed shocked by Ning Fei's words, "He to me? How is that possible! This guess is too disgusting."
Ning Fei finally laughed: "Who knows, what if he just wants to try everything you've experienced?"
"You should worry about yourself." Duan Yunhong's eyes fell on his wounds. "It may be true that he would be more excited by blood and scars. I also heard that he was seriously injured and may have even killed a debt collector. If you are really alone with him, you don't know what he will do."
Ning Fei suddenly asked: "What if I told you that we have slept together?"
"..." Duan Yunhong was silent for two seconds, "Then I can only say that your taste is really inconsistent."
"Hahaha..." Ning Fei laughed out loud. He knew that Duan Yunhong must have understood that this was a joke, but the other party actually responded. Regardless of his psychological reasons, Ning Fei accepted that he had given in this time.
After laughing, Ning Fei took the cup from Duan Yunhong's hand and moved closer: "Mr. Duan, Xie Baolin doesn't mind the wound, what about you?"
Duan Yunhong looked him in the eye without dodging or avoiding the target: "...Have you finished your business?"
"The report is complete." Ning Fei hooked her index finger around the collar of the man's sweater and gently pulled it open. "Do we have to turn off the lights for the 'New Year's Eve event', Mr. Duan?"
“No.”
Duan Yunhong pulled the person into his arms and kissed her directly.
