Chapter 86: Face Turns Green



When they had almost finished eating, Xu Xiangyang saw Wu Hao and the others coming over.

It looks like it's over. Liu Feng doesn't look very good either. He lost badly.

Wu Hao was naturally happy that he won, and he arranged for everyone to eat and drink as much as they wanted.

There are a lot of dishes here, including stir-fries and stews, and there are also two kinds of staple foods, which is even richer than the cafeteria.

There are only two dishes in the company cafeteria every day, but here there are four dishes.

"Come on, Liu Feng, let's continue and have a drink in the evening." Wu Hao greeted him, then put his arm around Liu Feng's shoulder.

Xu Xiangyang saw that Liu Feng's expression had not improved, and he knew in his heart that this man was probably really unhappy.

But who can I blame if I’m unhappy?

He didn't believe that Liu Feng didn't know that Wu Hao was going to play this game. After all, Cao Yajun knew about it.

I guess everyone here knows about it, but Liu Feng just hasn't found any evidence to prove it, so he can't act rashly.

After dinner, Xu Xiangyang went out to smoke with Cao Yajun. The two chatted for a while and got to know each other a lot.

Cao Yajun is the secretary of a director of the municipal government, but the specific director was not disclosed.

It's not possible to ask too much about this matter. Xu Xiangyang knows it in his heart. If they interact more in the future, he will know everything. Asking too much now will only make people disgusted.

Not long after, after dinner, they went back to play mahjong.

Xu Xiangyang felt that it was boring and wanted to go home. After all, this place was not suitable for him, and some people were not easy to get along with.

After saying hello to Liu Feng and the others, he left.

I made some money today, at least ten dollars, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

After returning home, Xu Xiangyang changed his clothes first. It was still early, so he went to take a nap.

When he got up in the afternoon, it was already past five o'clock. He didn't want to eat the food in the space, so he went straight to a nearby restaurant.

Just when I ordered two dishes and sat down to eat, I saw two people coming in.

He was a little surprised. Why was Wu Hao here?

Shouldn't we end the card game now and have a drink?

Xu Xiangyang had heard that they were going to drink in the evening, and they were quite fun.

Wu Hao didn't notice him and sat on the other side with a female comrade.

The two of them were holding hands under the table, looking very affectionate. Everyone else was looking at them, but no one said anything.

Xu Xiangyang lowered his head and ate, pretending not to see it. They were not familiar with each other anyway.

Wu Hao said with a chuckle, "Let me tell you, I earned over a hundred yuan today. Don't you want to buy a coat? I'll take you there tomorrow."

The female comrade was very happy to hear this and immediately said, "Thank you, Brother Hao. I knew you were the best."

Wu Hao was very pleased and said as if it was a matter of course, "Don't worry, you will have a good life if you follow your brother Hao!"

After saying that, he smacked his lips and said, “It’s Liu Feng who’s suffering, you don’t know, he’s suffering more than 80 days today, and I’ve probably lost two months’ salary.

You didn’t see it, his face turned green, he didn’t even eat, and just left. Tsk tsk tsk…”

These eighty yuan are enough to support a family of three for three months, and they can enjoy a life of luxury every month.

Who wouldn’t feel the pain after losing so much money?

Xu Xiangyang thought that Liu Feng would also be in pain, no matter who his father was.

After dinner, he left quietly without attracting any attention from Wu Hao.

The next day, when he went to work, he did what he was supposed to do as usual.

However, because my arm has not fully recovered, I don't need to drive now.

Every day I do odd jobs in the office, such as cleaning the house and so on.

You can't just sit back and relax just because you're not driving, right? Who would be happy if their boss saw you so relaxed?

Seeing how diligent he was, Chen Jiancai was very satisfied and said some encouraging words to him.

"Xiao Xu, you don't have to be so diligent. You only need to wipe the table once every two days. You don't have to wipe it every day." He looked at the clean and tidy table. Not only was it polished to a shine, but the messy things on it were also neatly arranged.

Xu Xiangyang would not easily believe this and immediately replied: "It's okay, Master Chen, I just can't sit still. Wiping the table is not difficult."

Hearing this, Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction and let him get to work.

After Xu Xiangyang finished packing, he went out for a walk and smoked a cigarette.

Qian Wenqing was out driving today, so he was not at work and had no one to talk to.

He was sitting on the stone platform outside smoking when he saw Liu Feng coming in.

I originally wanted to pretend not to see it. After all, Liu Feng lost a lot of money yesterday. What if he got angry and implicated me?

Xu Xiangyang was not afraid of him, but he thought it was troublesome and it was better to have less trouble than more.

We are here to work, not to fight.

Just because he pretends not to see it doesn’t mean Liu Feng can’t see it either.

Seeing the person walking towards him, Xu Xiangyang had no choice but to speak.

"Brother Feng is here, come and have a cigarette." He handed over a cigarette with a smile and then lit it.

Liu Feng did not refuse, but he was not very interested and still looked listless.

Maybe I lost a lot of money yesterday and I haven’t recovered yet today.

Xu Xiangyang did not bring up this matter on his own initiative. Only a fool would bring up something that is not related to the topic. Ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

After the two finished smoking, Liu Feng stood up, patted his clothes, and asked, "Brother Xiangyang, will you come to the party next time?"

Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Brother Feng, to be honest, that's not a place I can go. I have to earn a little money every month to support my family, and I can't afford the entertainment activities there."

He saw it all yesterday. No matter what card game it was, as long as you sat there, you couldn't sit there without at least ten or eight dollars.

It's not that he is short of that little bit of money, but he feels that no matter how much money he has, he can't get rich by relying on it.

Even if he won money, would Wu Hao let him take it all away if he did it too many times?

Ten or eight dollars once or twice is fine, but if he wins too much, I won't let him take the money away easily.

It's not that he's overthinking it, but that's the reality.

Liu Feng felt a little sorry after hearing this, nodded and said: "Okay, come find me when you want to play next time."

He patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder, then turned and left.

Xu Xiangyang looked at his back thoughtfully, guessing that Liu Feng took him to the card game yesterday just to use the tricks of those three people to trick him.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiangyang did not join the game at the beginning. When Liu Feng could not wait any longer and went to Wu Hao's table, he also went to another table.

But this was just his guess. He had no idea what Liu Feng's real intention was.

Besides, Liu Feng's expression just now was not very good. He was probably hurt by the loss. And when he came to invite him again, he was probably thinking of getting him to join the game and fill his pockets.

Xu Xiangyang sneered. Want to plot against him? He needs to practice more. His skills are still not up to par.
