Chapter 325 Let’s Go to the Farthest Place
No matter how Liang Fei explained to his teammates, he was still collectively reported after the game ended.
Looking at his record of 0 wins, 10 wins and 1 loss, Liang Fei threw the keyboard onto the table and cursed: "If you can't afford it, don't play. Who doesn't have an urgent matter? Can you guarantee that you won't be attacked by girls when you play games in the future?"
snort!
Just then, Yang Zhicheng knocked on the door and came in to ask Liang Fei for cigarettes: "Little Feifei, get me a pack of good cigarettes. I'm too lazy to go downstairs to buy some."
Liang Fei took out a note from the drawer and threw it to Lao Yang, then asked casually, "When will Sao Ming come back? Didn't he only take three days off? It's been so many days and I haven't seen him."
Since Yang Zhicheng started to specialize in technology, his addiction to cigarettes has become more and more serious. He couldn't wait to open the cigarette box and light a cigarette, shaking his head and said, "I don't know, how about I give him a call and ask?"
"Okay, let him come back quickly. He still has to be fully responsible for the competition."
Yang Zhicheng was walking out while dialing Sao Ming's number, when he suddenly turned around, dropped the cigarette from his mouth, and looked at Liang Fei with horror while panting.
Liang Fei felt a little nervous when being stared at. What happened? Was his crime exposed?
Was there some bad thing that was discovered by Lao Yang?
Yang Zhicheng slammed the door shut, ran to Liang Fei and shouted in a low voice, "Sao Ming was locked up at home by his parents. His mother answered the phone and said she was going to help Sao Ming resign and that he would never return to Minghai again."
Liang Fei: “???”
This was really unbelievable. Liang Fei looked at Yang Zhicheng in surprise: "Didn't Sao Ming tell his parents that he now earns a million a year?"
Yang Zhicheng insisted, "He definitely said it. How could he not show off? There must be something else going on. What is it?"
Liang Fei thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, go back and do your work first, I'll take care of it."
After sitting alone in the office and thinking for a while, Liang Fei called Jin Jiaer in and ordered, "Buy two tickets to Sudong immediately, the sooner the better. If you don't have tickets, buy high-speed rail tickets. If that doesn't work, ask the driver to drive me to Sudong."
"Okay, Mr. Liang."
Jin Jiaer nodded immediately and said, "How long will it take? Can I go home and pack some clothes first?"
Liang Fei had already gone to the lounge to get her suitcase. She stuck her head out and explained, "You don't have to come with me. I'll take someone else with me."
Jin Jiaer was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss Liang, is there something I didn't do well enough?"
Liang Fei was amused when he heard this. The secretary must have misunderstood what he meant. However, he was also a cheapskate. He smiled and said, "You are good at everything, but you don't know how to figure out the boss's preferences. Everyone in the building knows that Mr. Liang likes black stockings, but you are the only one who likes bare legs."
Liang Fei and Xin Chu met in the airport waiting room. Jin Jiaer sent a driver to pick her up, and the girl only carried a backpack.
When Liang Fei saw her, Xin Chu looked extremely listless and particularly timid.
"I'm sorry." Xin Chu only said this one sentence after taking the hot drink handed to him by Liang Fei. Then he lowered his head and kept picking his fingernails, not even daring to look up at Liang Fei.
Liang Fei sat next to Xin Chu, took a sip of hot coffee, squinted his eyes and watched the registration information flashing on the LCD TV on the wall.
"Sometimes I really feel sorry for you. You are so unlucky to meet Sao Ming, a young man. He was a coward and a jerk in the past two years, but he has made some progress recently and his mind has become confused again. He went back this time to confront his parents for you, right?"
Xin Chu replied softly, "I don't know. He suddenly came to my workplace a few days ago and said he must give me an explanation, and then he disappeared."
"Understood."
Liang Fei took the plane ticket, stood up and said, "Let's go."
All the way in silence.
After arriving in Sudong, Liang Fei first sent Xin Chu to the hotel to settle down, and then found Sao Ming's house alone according to the address.
I had to ask Yin Qingyue for the specific address of Sao Ming's home, because only she had the student's personal information and parents' contact information.
The one who opened the door was Saoming's mother, who had met Liang Fei several times. "Xiao Liang, why are you here?"
Liang Fei enthusiastically showed the gift to Xiao's mother, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm on a business trip and passed by Sudong, so I just came to see Xiao Ming. Please don't stop me from entering the house. I have to make it clear in advance that I don't have to take Xiao Ming back with me, what do you think?"
Mother Xiao glanced at Liang Fei, thought about it, and took the initiative to invite Liang Fei into the house: "Come in and talk."
The decoration of the house is simple but comfortable, and it can be seen that the hostess is very particular. Liang Fei only knows that Xiao Ming's mother is a school leader in the unit, and her specific temper and personality are not very clear, but she is probably a strong-willed woman who can take such drastic measures.
After pouring a cup of tea for Liang Fei, Xiao's mother sat opposite Liang Fei: "Xiao Ming is still sleeping, Xiao Liang, Auntie also happens to have something to ask you."
Liang Fei put her hands on her knees and sat up straight: "Auntie, go ahead."
Mother Xiao sighed and said to herself, "A few days ago, Xiao Ming suddenly came home without saying goodbye. He said he had a girlfriend in Minghai and wanted to get married. His father and I were very happy at first, but..."
Xiao's mother obviously didn't want to go into detail about Xin Chu's past, so she looked up at Liang Fei and asked, "Do you know about this?"
Liang Fei nodded: "I know."
Xiao's mother closed her eyes and was silent for a while. Her voice was very weak: "Xiao Liang, you and Xiao Ming were classmates and roommates for four years. Now you are starting a business together. You are his boss. You are so young and have built such a big business. You should be a very rational and wise child. Why do you want to watch Xiao Ming sink into such depravity?"
Liang Fei looked at Xiao's mother and asked, "Xiao Ming said he wanted to marry that girl, and he also told you and uncle everything the girl had done before, right?"
Mother Xiao nodded: "Yes."
"Xiao Ming has nothing to hide. He should have told you everything about his experience with that girl, right?"
"right."
"You can't accept that your future daughter-in-law has such a past, right?"
"Xiao Liang, if it were you, if it were your parents, would you be able to accept it?"
Liang Fei suddenly laughed: "Auntie, I can tell you responsibly that I don't need my parents to accept anything. What they care about is whether I can pass the test in my heart."
Xiao's mother thought about it and took a deep breath: "It seems that Xiao Ming has overcome the hurdle in his heart, but auntie tells you that his father and I can't get over it."
As he was talking, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Sao Ming, with messy hair, unshaven beard, and oily skin, walked out and saw Liang Fei at first sight.
"Little Feifei?"
Sao Ming was excited: "Wait a minute, I need to pee."
He rushed into the bathroom and flushed the toilet, then walked to Liang Fei and sat down, asking, "Did you bring Xin Chu with you?"
Liang Fei nodded: "You can meet her for the last time. Xin Chu is going to the capital to develop her career."
After that, Liang Fei looked at Xiao's mother and said, "Auntie, I understand your concerns very well. Let me be frank. It was your son who pestered her and dragged her down to this state. In fact, she has already started a new life. This time I came with me, I also want to make it clear to you in person. Are you willing?"
“What the hell!!”
Sao Ming stood up and said, "Why one last time? I don't want to see you one last time, damn it!"
Liang Fei advised earnestly: "Xiao Ming, let yourself go, let Xin Chu go, and most importantly, let your uncle and aunt go."
Mother Xiao was moved after hearing this. She looked at Liang Fei and choked up, "Xiao Liang, you are really thoughtful. Xiao Ming is just too naive and doesn't know how to handle things at all!"
"Auntie, I don't want to lose Xiao Ming, my right-hand man, because of a girl. If you trust me, let me take care of everything."
Liang Fei stood up and said to Sao Ming in a cold voice: "Go wash your face. This is the last time we'll see each other. Be decent."
Pushing Sao Ming into the bathroom, Xiao's mother followed behind, saying, "Oh, Xiao Liang, Auntie is so worried today. I couldn't sleep all night because of this. You have a promising future. Please take care of this brat in the future. Please."
Liang Fei said kindly, "Auntie, don't worry, I am a very rigorous and serious person about relationships."
Dragging Sao Ming downstairs and getting into a taxi, Liang Fei said directly without waiting for Sao Ming to speak: "I want you to go to New York to prepare for an overseas office. You will be stationed there for a long time and be the person in charge there until a branch is established. It is your business whether you can do a good job or not. It is also your problem whether it will waste tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars of my annual funding."
After a pause, Liang Fei looked at Sao Ming: "But you can at least delay time temporarily. Sao Ming, since you have made up your mind to die, I will help you this time."
Sao Ming stared at Liang Fei in a daze and opened his mouth: "What, what do you mean?"
Liang Fei rolled down the car window and handed the driver a hundred-dollar bill: "Master, I smoked."
The master borrowed the money and said cheerfully, "Smoke, smoke hard, I'll smoke one for you."
Liang Fei lit up a cigarette, took a puff and suddenly burst into laughter: "I really didn't expect you to be so brave. I can arrange everything for you. Just ask Xin Chu if she wants to go to New York with you."
Sao Ming was stunned for a long while, then he stuttered, "If I go to New York, what should I do with this mess? No one can take over immediately. What will you do? I, I can't let you suffer losses because of myself."
"Hey, you still thinking about me?"
Liang Fei narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I will handle it myself if anything happens."
The car arrived at the hotel and Liang Fei led Sao Ming into the room. Xin Chu was holding a bucket of instant noodles with dull eyes, chewing mechanically. When he saw Sao Ming, he immediately put down the noodles and walked up to him.
Bang!
A slap without any hesitation. Xin Chu pursed her lips, her eyes red, and looked at Sao Ming stubbornly: "Why do you have to humiliate me like this every time? No matter how lowly or trashy I am, it's my own business. I will pay for my past. It's not your turn to beg your parents!"
"Xiao Ming, I don't need you, and I don't want to see you again. Please, let me go!"
Liang Fei hid aside, gloating over other's misfortune.
You deserve it, I’ll beat you to death.
Sao Ming covered his face, his eyes full of hope, and pleaded humbly: "Xin Chu, are you willing to go to New York with me?"
Xin Chu stared into Sao Ming's eyes and said, "You are really ridiculous."
Sao Ming shook his head and said with a sob: "Let's go together, to the farthest place, to a place where no one knows us and start a new life."
"I know you don't believe it. You definitely don't believe that I love you so much. You definitely don't believe that you will encounter such a clichéd plot, but there is nothing we can do. Who made us meet? Who made us meet?"
Liang Fei thought about it and it seemed that it was because of him, Sao Ming, that he recognized Xin Chu.
Stay further away.
Sao Ming continued, "Xin Chu, I promise you, I will use my actual actions in the future to prove that I will treat you well with all my heart, I will be responsible for your future life, I will take full responsibility, I will make you feel comfortable and happy, even if you are far away in a foreign country, even if I owe you so much, but please, our fate is like this, it is going to be more difficult than others, but..."
"Stop talking."
Xin Chu stepped back and chuckled.
Sao Ming looked desperate and almost collapsed to the ground.
Xin Chu squatted down, hugged herself with both hands, and her haggard face bloomed with the most innocent smile of her youth: "I'll go."
…
Sao Ming has been in charge of overseas liaison work, including initially going to Seoul to negotiate with major entertainment companies, and later for the e-sports business. He had no obstacles in going to New York.
Xin Chu had never been abroad, so Liang Fei used some connections. Since Xin Chu was a girl, it was easy for her to go abroad, and her work visa was quickly approved.
There was no grand farewell. On an ordinary weekend, Liang Fei drove the two of them to Minghai Airport.
As people came and went, Xiao Ming always held Xin Chu's hand, and the smile on his face could not be wiped off.
"Xiao Feifei, I have handed over the original work to He Jie, and have also communicated with several other departments in advance. There will be no problem with the early preparations for the competition. Xiaoxiao was borrowed by me to work as an assistant in the department. She helped for two months. She knows the whole process. You can leave it to her without worry."
"Also, you have to help explain to me, Lao Yang, and Ah Xian."
Sao Ming scratched his head and said, "I will definitely come back for Ah Xian's wedding, but I may not. You can protect my parents. After a while, they won't be bothered anymore. I am their son, so they understand this."
"Oh yes, thank you."
Liang Fei looked at Xin Chu and asked, "You won't regret it, right?"
Xin Chu listened and looked up at Sao Ming: "You won't make me regret it, right?"
Sao Ming shook his head: "I will never be indecisive again."
Liang Fei clapped her hands, smiled and went over to hug Sao Ming's shoulders, pointing to the blue sky outside the airport: "Brother, take another good look at this blue of your hometown. You two are continuing your stories there, and so am I."
Dianzi voice broadcasts boarding information.
Sao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Feifei, if I really leave, I guess... I won't see you very often in a year, so please don't miss me."
Liang Fei put his hands behind his back, took a few steps back, raised his hand and waved: "Go, the sky is high and the sea is vast outside, no one can control you anymore."
"I'm leaving."
Sao Ming wiped away his tears, held Xin Chu's hand, turned around and walked into the security check.
"Xiao Feifei, I have memorized all the plans. I will definitely help you conquer the United States!"
Liang Fei turned around, stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside the window. Planes pierced the clouds and headed for unknown places. When he heard Xiao Ming's roar, he lowered his head and chuckled.
"Hello."
Shi Shi, dragging her suitcase, walked to Liang Fei's side at some point and watched the blue sky and the planes with her.
"I have arranged accommodation for Xiao Ming and Xin Chu."
Columbia University is located in Manhattan, New York. Shi Shi should have returned long ago, but at Liang Fei's request, she stayed for a few more days and made some advance arrangements for Xiao Ming and Xin Chu.
Seeing that Liang Fei seemed to be in a low mood, Shi Shi bent down to look at his lowered face: "Why, are you reluctant to let your good brother go?"
With a long sigh, Liang Fei raised his head and looked up at the sky: " Originally, I have always taught others how to do things, but I didn't expect that others' tolerance is much greater than I thought."
“That’s great.”
Liang Fei held Shi Shi's hand and smiled brightly: "Sure enough, people can't be missed. If you miss them, you really miss them."
Shi Shi looked at Liang Fei in surprise: "Hey, you've grown up."
