If it's absolutely necessary to allocate some to us, then we don't need to consider "his opinion."
It means that if I agree to their arrangement, these houses will be allocated to us.
If I reject Tong Yaru, we won't get a share of this house.
I stood up, raised my glass to Tong Yaru, and just when they thought I agreed, I said:
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Editor-in-Chief Tong, but I really don't have time right now. To express my apology, I'll drink this cup in one go."
As I spoke, I tilted my head back and downed a glass of baijiu.
Some of the people present frowned, while others shook their heads.
Especially Tong Yaru, whose eyes still held a cold glint.
She was clearly bothered by my rejection.
But who cares about her? I've already given her enough face by offering to drink and apologize.
The atmosphere cooled down considerably after that, and everyone's attitude towards me became noticeably colder.
Most of the time, it was the two of them talking.
After I had eaten and drunk my fill, I stood up and said, "Everyone, please continue eating. I'm leaving now."
Nobody paid any attention to me; it was clearly an attempt to embarrass me.
When I arrived, they lined up to welcome me. Now that things are like this, some people might think I don't understand social etiquette.
But that's how I want to be, to establish an image of being impervious to reason, so that people won't bother me anymore.
I only need to think about the people who are truly good to me.
I left the hotel and was waiting for a taxi by the roadside when a bright red sports car screeched to a halt in front of me.
The car window rolled down, revealing Tong Yaru's face, which was wearing sunglasses.
"Get in the car!"
"No."
I straightened up and looked behind me again.
"Are you even a man? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"
Tong Yaru pushed open the passenger door.
"Get on! If you don't get on today, I guarantee no car will stop for you."
Hey! You're still going to challenge me, huh?
I could only get in and close the car door.
With a roar, the sports car shot off.
I don't know if she was trying to scare me, but Tong Yaru was driving incredibly fast.
But I'm not that timid. I've ridden in supersonic speeds before, let alone this speed.
The car went up the mountain, and halfway up, it stopped by the roadside.
Tong Yaru turned off the engine and looked at me: "What makes you so great? I, Tong Yaru, am not even qualified to be your friend?"
"What? Does Editor-in-Chief Tong want to beat me up again?"
"You don't deserve it!"
Tong Yaru got out of the car and took out the wine from the trunk.
Soon, several more cars arrived, filled with young men and women.
Everyone who came up called her Sister Ru.
I got out of the car and saw them singing and dancing outside.
"Come on, everyone! I'm going to introduce you to an extraordinary person."
When Tong Yaru shouted that, everyone quieted down.
Everyone looked at Tong Yaru.
Tong Yaru looked at me and sneered: "This is Zheng Yang, the chief engineer of the military's First Research Institute!"
You wouldn't believe it, he doesn't even give face to provincial and municipal leaders.
I tried to befriend him, but he completely looked down on me.
After Tong Yaru finished speaking, everyone showed amused expressions.
Wow! That's amazing!
"Knowing you're a chief engineer, anyone who didn't would think you were the secretary-general of the League of Nations!"
"You think you can look down on Sister Ru? Sister Ru must have been forced to be friends with you, and you actually believed it?"
I just watched them point and whisper about me, and I felt that these people were really childish.
What right do they have to criticize me and look down on me?
"Come on! You're amazing, why don't you compete with us? Let us see what you're capable of."
"Oh?" I said, "What do you want to compete with me on? If it's about who's more of a playboy, who's more of a good-for-nothing, or who's more of a spoiled brat, I'm no match for you."
One sentence from him blew them all away.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare."
Seeing that they seemed about to make a move, I chuckled and said, "So what else can you compete with? Designing airplanes or software?"
Everyone was furious, yet none of them could refute me.
Tong Yaru: "Don't look down on him! He's the eldest son of the Wang Group, and his driving skills are top-notch."
This is the eldest daughter of the Li family; she can even mix drinks.
And...and..."
It must have been tough on Tong Yaru. It seemed like this was the first time she had ever realized that all her friends were just playboys and young ladies who squandered their families' money.
I shook my head: "Forget it! Let's not compete anymore. I don't want to spoil your fun. Goodbye!"
After I finished speaking, I started walking down the mountain, and Tong Yaru and the others just watched me.
They were dissatisfied, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why they were dissatisfied.
"Sister Ru! I'll teach him a lesson; he's too arrogant."
Tong Yaru didn't say anything, she just stared at me.
My mind raced, and the car, which was far away at the base, took off.
Before I even reached the bottom of the mountain, the car had already landed in front of me.
I got into the car and flew directly back to base.
"Third brother!" Yuan Bao rushed out to greet me.
"You've finally decided to come back?"
Yuan Bao was still a little embarrassed: "I'm thinking about how to get Li Xiang to Langyu City. Her school is too bad, what's the point of her going there?"
"Fine! You can do whatever you want. But you have to do me a favor now."
"What's up?"
“Our researchers don’t have decent dormitories yet. Could you find a way to buy me a few decent apartments around the institute, preferably large single-level apartments?”
Because I failed to provide better treatment for the people at the research institute, I have to compensate them.
