Chapter 789: Chapter 789
Businessmen should act rationally, not impulsively.
Revenge is satisfying, but the current priority is to stabilize the situation and divide the benefits.
Of course, this is also because Liu Zheng and his team’s strength is too strong; otherwise, it wouldn’t mind taking down this murderer to boost morale.
"Let’s go back and investigate who’s still interested in our Red Forest Culture."
Park Changfan sneered and walked with the Alien Insects through the office building’s doors.
"Businessmen are indeed more civil."
Liu Zheng put away the cigarette case and sighed.
"Name: Legendary delivery man’s ration cigarette"
"Effect: While smoking, the player’s status is considered to be on a delivery. After use, the cigarette will burn automatically, lasting no more than three minutes."
"Note: What I’m smoking isn’t a cigarette, it’s loneliness. Please don’t fall for me, I’m just a legend."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
He originally wanted to take advantage of the other’s sneak attack, but ended up not being given the opportunity.
"Businessmen always keep their doors open. The shopkeepers on Bathhouse Street do the same. Even if they encounter a dine-and-dash, as long as the attitude isn’t too arrogant, they’d beat them up and throw them out without killing them—otherwise, other customers would feel uneasy."
Zhi Zi also opened her mouth to share her opinion.
"She said that Park Changfan isn’t human."
Such an important negotiation, there’s no way they’d send a junior employee to handle it.
Without surprise, Park Changfan is likely Red Forest Culture’s current decision-maker.
"Boss, where are we going now?"
Niu Daji asked excitedly.
Negotiating right at their headquarters was exhilarating, especially outside an office building it had never stepped inside, which doubled the thrill.
"Take this seven hundred thousand to the ’All That You Need’ store and pay off my debt for buying the Dragon Egg. With the rest, buy me some of those inferior Immortal Beans. After finishing, send Zhi Zi back."
Liu Zheng handed stack after stack of money to Niu Daji.
Though feasting is more cost-effective for recovery, considering the upcoming trip to Ten Thousand Great Mountains, preparing items for quick recovery is necessary.
Hearing it was more chores, Niu Daji seemed a bit disappointed.
But thinking about being entrusted with over seven hundred thousand in cash made its heart surge with heavy trust.
"Rest assured, boss, even if my leg were broken, I’d crawl to send Miss Zhi Zi."
Niu Daji patted its chest in assurance.
"You’d better vow to crawl to send the money."
Liu Zheng retorted, and Zhi Zi gave it a small eye roll.
He let Niu Daji go send the money, originally intending for Zhi Zi to act as its guard.
Niu Daji realized it, embarrassed, and rubbed its horns.
At the next intersection, Liu Zheng let the two get off, then returned to the restaurant himself.
Upon entering the lounge, Niu Ma wasn’t there.
Basing from usual assumptions, it must be out delivering.
His eyes wandered, emitting a lewd laugh, then he dove at Niu Ma’s haystack like a hungry tiger.
Strangely, despite being laid upon for years by the half-drunk, sloppy, greasy mid-aged beast, the haystack had no odd smells, only a faint hay fragrance and a hint of incense.
Judging by this, the haystack must be extraordinary, likely possessing self-cleaning or stain-resistant features.
After rolling around on the haystack, Liu Zheng put away the Legendary Takeout Box and called the novelist.
The call connected instantly.
He initially prepared to speak but suddenly realized the voice was odd.
"Are you sick, randomly answering others’ phone calls?"
"How did you know it’s me? My voice imitation even fools her parents."
Fei Shibu was quite surprised.
"Because the novelist wouldn’t drag the ending sound so much."
Contrary to looks, the novelist’s personality is rather hearty, somewhat like a hero of the underworld.
"Tch, only knowing her for days and so familiar already, seems you two have been making calls often."
Fei Shibu said, somewhat sourly.
"Destined to meet once in a lifetime, or never know each other despite seeing thousands of faces; someone lonely like you wouldn’t understand."
"Bullshit, I’ve dated more men than you’ve seen!"
Fei Shibu was instantly provoked.
"Is that really impressive? In Metropolis, if you have money, what can’t you have? It’s pitiful you’re a golden feather author with so little insight. Really, what blindness possesses your readers to read your books?"
He continued mocking.
"Human, don’t insult my readers, or none can save you."
Fei Shibu spoke with a cold tone.
Liu Zheng slapped his own face several times, quickly and loudly.
"Is it enough? If not, I’ll keep slapping."
"Hmph, I’ll let you off this time. But aren’t you supposed to be tough? Admitting your mistake so easily was unexpected."
Fei Shibu pouted and said.
"In this world, when you make a mistake, you admit it, and when you get hit, you stand straight. Stubbornly holding onto your pride will just leave you without friends."
"Human, do you have a lot of friends? What kind of people are they?"
"Quite a few, I guess. Some are human, some aren’t, and some are even just a hand or a wall."
"Some were enemies at first, but later on, the relationships got pretty good."
He thought for a moment and said.
Fei Shibu said in a strangely indifferent tone.
"If you’re interested, I can introduce you to them sometime."
Liu Zheng thoughtfully and proactively said.
Judging from Fei Shibu being willing to sit in a dark closet to help a girlfriend chase a guy, she’s not a bad person.
"No need, with my noble status, how could I casually associate with you commoners?"
Fei Shibu proudly said,
"Are you kidding me? Among my friends are bosses of various landmarks. Are you more noble than them?"
Liu Zheng said speechlessly.
"Mind your own business! Yi Xie Na Mei, answer your wild man’s phone call!"
Fei Shibu slammed the phone onto the table in anger.
"Senior, were you looking for me?"
Soon, the novelist’s voice sounded again.
"That’s more like it, that’s the tone I expected."
"Nobody understands me better than you, senior."
The novelist also smiled.
A heavy nasal sound came from Fei Shibu nearby.
Both of them chose to ignore it.
"Senior, was there something you needed from me?"
The novelist asked again.
"Two things. First, I want to become an honorary property owner in your neighborhood, and I’d like you to write a recommendation letter for me."
Given their relationship, Liu Zheng skipped the pleasantries.
The novelist agreed without hesitation.
"The second thing is, I already have one recommendation letter, and including yours, I’m still one short. Do you have anyone suitable in mind?"
"Sorry, senior, I hardly ever leave the house and don’t know any old residents."
The novelist said apologetically.
"No worries, I understand."
He also doesn’t like interacting with people when he’s not working.
"Do you know that boy who likes to swallow people’s sausage and wear pajamas?" Find the newest release on NoveIＦire.net
Liu Zheng asked again.
"The boy who likes to swallow people’s sausage in pajamas? Sorry, senior, I have no impression."
The novelist thought for a moment and said.
Fei Shibu asserted her presence.
"Do you know Xiao Fei?"
"I asked you to go participate in activities with me usually, and you didn’t go. Now you’re stuck, aren’t you? Beg me. Beg me and I’ll tell you."
Fei Shibu said proudly.
"I’m begging you, Xiao Fei."
The novelist immediately moved closer.
"Who asked you to beg? I was talking about your wild man."
Fei Shibu pushed her face away in disdain.
"Fei Shibu boss, I was too loud just now, please don’t take it to heart. I’m begging you, please tell me."
Liu Zheng didn’t slide to his knees any slower than the novelist.
"Not surprising, a pair of shameless couple, even their thickness is the same."
Fei Shibu rolled her eyes.
"Xiao Fei, come on, tell us."
The novelist grabbed her arm and shook it hard, almost shaking off her pajama, luckily Liu Zheng couldn’t see.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking, I’ll tell you."
Fei Shibu said, pulling on her pajama with effort.
