Xu Jing's gaze stayed for 7 seconds, and in just 7 seconds, the atmosphere in the entire room became particularly unusual.
Meng You poked Xu Jing's waist and whispered in his ear, "The new guy is not your cup of tea."
"You're quite confident." Xu Jing finished his drink and gave him a look. "How about you go?"
"The world of straight men is all about making money."
"What a coincidence! I can make money too. Why don't you just leave it to me?"
Salespeople sometimes earn more than supervisors. Supervisors take a percentage of all employees' income, while salespeople receive actual income.
Obviously, in terms of earning power alone, Xu Jing was one percentage point higher than Meng You. This was more than enough to support him.
"Be serious." Meng You rolled his eyes. Perhaps it was because he'd been in the supporting male department for so long, but everyone rolled their eyes. Each had their own unique way of doing it, making them a veritable "eye-rolling group."
"Eat some food. Xiaoji, you eat too."
The service at Hedi Lao has always been top-notch, and since the stingy guy was treating today, Xu Jing didn't hesitate to order the most expensive dishes. He ordered a four-pot soup base: a tomato, a spicy, a three-fresh hot pot, and a pig stomach and chicken hot pot. Just this one hot pot cost a hundred yuan.
When the food arrived, everyone was stunned. The Hedi Lao was a rip-off. Five grown men were eating from four small baskets, barely big enough for the ingredients. Often, the chopsticks would be gone soon after the ingredients were put in. The meat wasn't cooked through, and even the undercooked meatballs were snatched away.
Xu Jing was speechless. "Can you wait until it's cooked before eating? Haven't you eaten in hundreds of years?"
"Brother Xu, you don't understand. You're farming, and I'm fighting zombies. Oh my god, I haven't had human food in ages." It was Xiao Lin who was speaking. Ever since joining the female supporting team, Xiao Lin had been regretting it to bits. He'd thought the handsome man and beautiful woman would easily make it through, but in the end, the two of them were starving. All he could think about every day was how to escape. It was utterly miserable.
Even though the meatballs were half-cooked, Xiaolin was moved to tears. "Oh my god, they are so delicious."
Xu Jing was even more speechless and turned to look at Xiao Zhang. This animal was really aggressive. What happened? He went to play with zombies too?
Xiao Zhang joined in his complaints. "I've been transported as an abused teenager this time. My inhuman parents only give me one meal a day, euphemistically claiming a man should be self-reliant and strong. And Ziqiang's brother-in-law, he only gives me bird food to eat. I'm lucky I'm not starving, but how can I be self-reliant?"
Xu Jing was puzzled, and Meng You explained. "He was going to rescue a young man from a mental hospital. It was quite difficult for us to come up with a legitimate identity."
It is indeed not easy. He works very hard in farming and almost dedicates his life to agriculture.
After two glasses of wine to fill his stomach, Xu Jing noticed that Ji Xiaobing had been eating the three-fresh hot pot, which was a light dish. Xu Jing turned his gaze to Meng You and said in lip language, "Xiao Ji, are you going to the beach?"
Meng You rolled his eyes. "I didn't sell myself. That's really harsh."
Or go to the adult entertainment industry. Xu Jing couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ji's anus. Being a bottom wasn't easy these days. To maintain their figure, they had to eat light meals. Being a top was much easier. There were more options to choose from, and they didn't have to worry about getting hemorrhoids.
"Has Xiaoji's sexual orientation changed?"
Meng You nodded. Xu Jing silently lit a candle for Xiao Ji in his heart, and cursed at him from the other side. "Meng You, you are a piece of shit."
Everyone put down their work and turned their eyes to the two of them.
"It's just a choice, everyone is different. People always have to make choices." Meng You said helplessly: "Do you think those female supporting roles and female protagonists have a good life? Don't they also experience a lot of perversion?"
"No one's as perverted as you." Xu Jing knew full well how difficult it was for men to take that step. It was especially difficult for straight men to change their sexual orientation. The definition of a submissive is broad, but no matter what, submissives are not as popular as women. Both physically and psychologically, submissives endure a lot.
It's quite infuriating that Meng You transformed a straight man into a bottom.
Especially since this person was the younger brother of his neighbor whom he knew, Xu Jing couldn't accept it for a while.
"Wake up, Great Sage. That was his own choice."
Meng You gave Xu Jing a look. "Come out with me. And Xiao Ji, you come too."
There's a dedicated waiting area at Hedi Lao. Since it wasn't a holiday, the area was empty, so even if the three of us went in and talked, no one could hear us.
After entering the inner room, Xu Jing got straight to the point. "Xiao Ji, are you straight or lesbian?"
Ji Xiaobing answered without hesitation. "Straight."
"Sexual orientation can't be faked, but Xu Jing, you were straight when you first came in." Meng You rubbed his brow and lowered his voice. "That's not important. What matters is his own choice."
"That's called selling your body for money!"
"Who isn't?" Faced with Xu Jing's aggressiveness, Meng You felt both angry and amused. "When you first arrived, weren't you also unable to sleep for whole nights? Why are you being so hypocritical now? We are a team, and we share honor and disgrace. Don't you understand?"
When it comes to business, it doesn’t matter where you are.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain. But often, you give up and still get nothing, which is the most tragic thing.
Xu Jing glanced at Ji Xiaobing. They were obviously not much different from each other, but the experiences of the past five years had changed them a lot.
He was looking at his former self through Ji Xiaobing, the young man who was once at a loss and immature.
He remembered what he had said at the time, he didn't want to do it.
But the reality hit him so hard that he almost collapsed. His father had uremia and needed a kidney transplant.
A kidney costs 400,000 yuan. What does 400,000 yuan mean? Even a middle-class family of three would gasp in shock, let alone a family of three that has just reached a comfortable level!
Xu Jing clearly remembers that his father was the family's sole breadwinner, and his mother chose to be a housewife for both him and his father. If it weren't for uremia, the family of three could have lived a happy and wonderful life.
But accidents always come unexpectedly and can deal a fatal blow to people before the storm arrives.
Even if the family had savings, they couldn't find a kidney donor. When he was anxious and angry, the company gave Xu Jingling a way out.
The company's requirement is to be a salesperson and win over others.
It’s easy to say, but hard to do.
And the target of his strategy is not women, but men.
Men, and others like him, had to break through their inner defenses, whether they were going up or down.
The harsh reality before him was that if he didn't do it, he would be giving up his father's only hope of survival, and he would become a sinner for all eternity, a sinner whose sins could never be washed away even if he was nailed to the pillar of shame.
So, he had no choice but to do it.
Not only do it, but also do it to the best of your ability.
