Chapter 590 I Really Didn’t Want to Pretend
It's a good thing for people to be humble, but being overly humble will make people seem hypocritical. It's the same as when a girl pursues you. It's a good thing for a boy to be reserved when being pursued by a girl, but being overly reserved will be mistaken for having problems in some way.
—Liang Shuren
Lao Zhang's green eyes had never been so wide in his life. He stared at Liang Fei for a long time, then slowly held Liang Fei's hands and said emotionally, "I was wondering why you look so familiar. I watch Banana Live often and spend a lot of money on it."
Oh, it’s still my own user.
After a pause, Lao Zhang slapped his thigh and said with emotion: "Brother, your thing costs much more money than going out to play. I gave a woman a tip of more than 100,000 yuan, but I didn't even touch her hand when I asked her out. This made me so angry that I went to the bank to withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash to get the job done."
"How can this be!" Liang Fei was furious when he heard this, and wondered why he had to place the order online. Isn't this bypassing himself as the middleman? Damn it!
Lao Zhang shook Liang Fei's hand vigorously again: "Brother, I'm telling you the truth, beauty filters and the like are really not good things, if you can ban them, ban them as soon as possible, I stopped in time, you see how good the club is, it's fair to everyone, you can see and touch it, your stuff is just like opening a blind box."
After listening to this, Liang Fei nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Don't even think about it. I started my career by skirting the rules, and beauty filters are the secret to my success. If you ban them, then there's no point in having fun.
To be honest, the live streaming industry is not that big, and it is far from being a national entertainment, so Liang Fei's reputation was not prominent before. Compared with the success of Banana Live and its subsequent becoming the industry leader, Liang Fei's age is more eye-catching.
It was only after Liang Fei took office as the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technologies amid the surprise of the entire network that he became truly famous.
You may not know Lightyear Technology, but you must know Penguin Technology. You may not know what the position of senior executive vice president is, but it sounds very impressive when you hear it.
"Brother, you hid it too deeply."
Mr. Zhang complained, "If you had told me earlier, wouldn't the deal have been done? We would have been friends a long time ago. Why do we still need to go through all this formality? I'm sure you can see that I'm not that interested in these things. I'm tired of them. Mainly, I still think our Mr. Liang, oh our Mr. Liang is a trustworthy partner, that's why I came here."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhang looked at Liang Chuifeng, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Liang, your son is a rare talent. His future is limitless, limitless. It's true that a good father will have a good son!"
As we all know, Penguin Technology is an Internet company, but it is also well known that it is not a simple Internet company.
He is a good fighter.
Seeing how attentive Old Zhang was, Liang Fei knew that this old man would definitely ask him for help in the future, so he said with a smile, "Boss Zhang, I asked around before I came here, and some people said that you, Boss Zhang, sometimes like to raise the price, and if you meet a more modest party, you like to take some small kickbacks. Of course, I definitely don't agree with this view."
Mr. Zhang blinked and then affirmed, "I don't agree with it either. It's all nonsense outside. Ninety-nine percent of it is slander against me by my competitors. Mr. Liang, don't worry, my price is absolutely fair."
Liang Fei picked up the wine glass at the right time, swirled the ice cubes in the amber liquid, and said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Zhang, we can entrust all our fresh food to you."
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Mr. Zhang said seriously: "Brother, Mr. Liang, the future belongs to the Internet, which means the future is in your hands. Brother, you are trying to climb high. I'm sure we will have a pleasant cooperation. Happy cooperation!"
Everything went smoothly after that. Lao Zhang had a lot of fun. He frequently clinked glasses with Liang Chuifeng and Liang Fei, father and son. He soon got drunk. When he was helped out of the door, he was still shouting that he wanted to sign a contract tomorrow, a long-term contract.
"Dad, there's no need to sign a long-term contract with him. I'll visit SF Express's CEO someday and talk to him about it. I'll try to get a friendly price for our family."
After seeing off Mr. Zhang and his group, Liang Fei lit a cigarette for Liang Chuifeng and said, "You should have told me about this earlier."
Liang Chuifeng took a puff of his cigarette and looked up at his son: "Do you have connections in logistics?"
"No, I don't know him, but I can find someone to introduce him." Liang Fei put his hands in his pockets and said modestly, "We rich people in emerging industries are all in the same circle. At most, we can find two people to establish a relationship. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Liang Chuifeng looked at Liang Fei's appearance of asking for a beating, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "You kid, you have really made progress."
To be honest, as a father, I am really proud to have a son like this. Super proud.
Liang Fei laughed and hugged Liang Chuifeng: "Comrade Liang, your attitude is very good. I was thinking that if I showed off too much, you might think that I, as a son, am too pretentious, and it would make you, as a father, look disrespectful."
Liang Chuifeng laughed and scolded after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a father in this world complain that his son is more promising than himself?"
Liang Fei thought for a moment and said, "The emperor, they are all afraid that their sons will rebel."
Liang Chuifeng took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Whatever you want, we only have less than 10,000 cows. It doesn't matter if you eat them all."
As they were chatting, Xiao Zheng drove the car to the entrance of the club. The father and son got in the car. Liang Fei asked, "Brother Zheng, is Sister Lin okay?"
"No problem, don't worry, I saw her come in with my own eyes." Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "The girls in our family are all smart. A'lin can drink a lot. She was just pretending to be reserved at the table. If she lets go and drinks, with Mr. Zhang's low alcohol tolerance, A'lin can drink three bottles without feeling exhausted."
"Wow, she is worthy of being our girl." Liang Fei exclaimed.
Liang Chuifeng rolled down the car window to enjoy the natural breeze, and chatted with Liang Fei: "Are Liang Cheng and Liang Jing doing well at your place? How is Lu Teng's internship going? You are the older brother, and you have responsibilities. You have to take good care of your younger siblings and educate them well, and don't let them make mistakes."
Liang Fei nodded: "At present, it seems that I am the one who makes the most mistakes among our children."
Liang Chuifeng glanced at Liang Fei dimly, waved his hand, rubbed his face, and sighed: "It seems that Chengcheng and Jingjing will stay in Minghai in the future, and Lu Teng is unlikely to come back to develop. You kids, you all flew away from us as your parents."
Liang Fei crossed his arms and shrugged: "I asked you to come, but you didn't come."
Liang Chuifeng shook his head: "No, I don't dare to go."
Xu Ruting didn't even dare to go to Minghai, not to mention Liang Chuifeng who was not very good at getting along with those girls. Old Liang was very decent, completely opposite to his wife.
Liang Fei also knew very well that Liang Chuifeng was unwilling to leave his hometown. Here he was a respected local big brother with status, money and connections. When he went out, he was followed by several younger brothers to protect him. But if he went to Minghai, he would just be the father of the chairman of Lightyear Technology.
After chatting for a while, Liang Chuifeng asked, "How many days do you plan to stay at home this time?"
Liang Fei thought about it and felt that Lightyear Technology was in good order, with Sao Ming in charge, so there wouldn't be any trouble. As for Penguin Technology, it was time for him to tone down his edge and let those old-school vice presidents have a sense of presence.
Thinking of this, Liang Fei replied: "Stay a few more days."
Liang Chuifeng nodded: "Then stay a few more days. In fact, your mother doesn't say it, but she misses you the most. Otherwise, why do you think she always goes to Minghai?"
Liang Fei said: "Because she likes to be called aunt by pretty girls sweetly, and she enjoys the compliments from the girls who want to be her daughter-in-law."
Liang Chuifeng was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That seems to be the case."
The father and son returned home. Their grandparents were old and had gone to bed early. Xu Ruting was watching TV in the living room. When she saw her husband and son coming, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook wontons.
Chicken soup wontons, so delicious.
While cooking wontons, Xu Ruting first made some honey water for the father and son, and complained, "I'm really fed up. The old one is a drunkard, and the young one is also a drunkard. They come in the middle of the night, and I still have to cook wontons for you. Liang Fei, why did you come back? Are you adding to my workload?"
Liang Chuifeng took a sip of the honey water and said hurriedly, "Let me make it clear that I didn't drink too much today."
Comrade Lao Liang indeed did not drink too much. He had a good alcohol tolerance to begin with, and apart from a few glasses of wine he toasted to General Manager Zhang at the dinner table, he did not drink much. In the private room, he sipped a square cup of foreign wine all night, and when the ice melted, it was no different from water.
Talking about the dinner party in the evening, Xu Ruting asked: "Did you reach an agreement on the cooperation?"
Liang Chuifeng smiled slightly: "Ask your son."
Xu Ruting looked at Liang Fei: "Did you ruin the cooperation?"
"Mother?"
Liang Fei asked in confusion: "Why do you always treat me as a worthless prodigal? I am the chairman of Light Year Technology, senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology, an Internet upstart, and the No. 1 young entrepreneur under 35. In your eyes, I am so humble?"
"Come on, come on, it's just a jingle, you don't feel tired at all."
Hsu Ruting spread her hands and said, "Mom doesn't ask you to be rich. Although you are rich now, I still hope you won't be too rich."
"Why?"
"When you have money, you become bad."
Liang Fei said seriously: "I am also bad when I have no money. It is my nature. It has nothing to do with whether I have money or not."
Xu Ruting was angry and looked at Liang Chuifeng: "Do you still care about your son?"
"Alright, alright, alright."
Liang Chuifeng put down the honey water, and felt extremely happy that his wife and son were by his side. He said with a smile: "Liang Fei performed well today. Thanks to him, the cooperation talks went smoothly. It's rare for your son to come home, so don't talk about him all the time."
Xu Ruting blinked, raised her hand and touched Liang Fei's head and asked, "Did mom talk to you?"
Liang Fei nodded: "I have."
Xu Ruting then asked: "Is that wrong?"
Liang Fei shook his head: "No, no."
Xu Ruting looked at Liang Chuifeng: "My son said I was right."
“…”
Liang Chuifeng rolled his eyes and looked back towards the kitchen : "The wontons should be ready, right?"
When Xu Ruting heard this, she stood up suddenly: "If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have become a mess!!"
A family of three sat around the dining table eating wontons, chatting and laughing. The scene was extremely harmonious and warm.
The next day, Liang Fei had breakfast with her grandparents and went out for a walk. Her grandparents were in good health and liked to take her to visit the homes of old neighbors. If there was no one at the door of a house, they would stand there for a while and leave only if they could not wait any longer.
If you run into this, someone will definitely ask: "Wow, Xiao Fei is back, handsome and handsome again, strolling with grandpa and grandma. Grandpa and aunt, you are so lucky to have such a great grandson."
At this time, the grandfather had to wave his hand and said modestly: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I have always taught Liang Fei that even if he makes a name for himself outside, he must always reflect on himself. I think this kid can be in this situation now because he must have remembered my words."
"Right, grandson?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Grandpa is right!"
Grandma would then say: "Grandma has also taught you."
"Yes, yes, yes, grandma is right!"
Elderly people need to be coaxed and be happy so that they can live a long life. However, Liang Fei hopes that his grandparents can live longer, so that when their own children's children are born, they can still be the same as they are now, enjoying everything they eat and being in good health.
Liang Fei went out at noon. It was a rare opportunity for him to come back, so he went to catch up with the classmates who stayed in his hometown and chat.
"Hey, Kaizi, where are you?"
"I'm almost there, wait a moment, I'm just changing my son's diaper."
"Okay, okay, hurry up, if you go to the pool hall any later there won't be any tables left."
"Okay."
Liang Fei hung up the phone and stood at the intersection kicking stones. He had made an appointment with Wang Kai to play billiards. Wang Kai was the groom who would come to the wedding with Shi Shi at that time. Now he has become a dad and works in a local credit union. He has a stable income and lives a leisurely life.
When a man gets married and becomes a father, his time no longer belongs to himself. If Liang Fei hadn't asked him out today, Wang Kai's wife, who was Liang Fei's former senior schoolmate, would probably not be willing to let her husband out.
Bored of waiting, Liang Fei looked back and saw a milk tea shop, pushed the door open and bought a cup of milk tea.
"Hello, two cups of bubble tea, with ice."
Liang Fei looked up at the menu and said to the waiter, "Put more pearls."
The waitress was a young girl. After seeing Liang Fei's appearance and clothes clearly, she nodded and started to place the order. When she lowered her head, she opened her mouth slightly and let out a soft "wow", expressing her admiration for Liang Fei's superior appearance.
Today is the weekend and there are many female customers in the milk tea shop. Liang Fei attracted everyone's attention as soon as she came in .
In fact, it is rare to see adults who are eye-catching in small places. There is no avant-garde atmosphere and atmosphere of big cities here. Walking on the street in such a hot day, Liang Fei didn't see anyone wearing belly-baring clothes. If it were Minghai, the streets would be full of white legs.
Similarly, handsome guys are even rarer, especially those who dress particularly well, and tend to be low-key and restrained yet luxurious.
While waiting for Milk Tea to be seated, several high school-age girls at the table next to them looked at each other, seemingly cheering each other up. Finally, the prettiest girl mustered up the courage to stand up and walked to Liang Fei.
"Hello, little brother?"
Liang Fei glanced at the girl, raised her hand and greeted her: "What's wrong?"
The girl clutched her phone, looked at Liang Fei with sparkling eyes, and asked expectantly: "Um, can I add you on WeChat?"
"Sorry, it's inconvenient."
Liang Fei smiled and refused, saying, "I have a girlfriend."
Hearing Liang Fei say this, the girl looked obviously disappointed. She must have been the most popular girl in her circle of friends and would probably rarely be rejected by men. She returned to her seat with a red face.
Liang Fei said to the waiter, "Send a few pieces of cake to that table. It's mine."
"OK."
After the waiter handed the prepared milk tea to Liang Fei, Liang Fei walked out the door with two cups of milk tea. He vaguely heard the two boys sitting in front of the window muttering with disgust on their faces .
"What the hell, it's all so fancy."
"He's with a rich woman."
How could I pretend like that? The handsome guy is speechless.
Liang Fei's stubborn temper came up, and she stopped to argue with these two ignorant little guys, since she had nothing to do anyway.
"Hey."
Feeling someone tapping her shoulder, Liang Fei turned around and looked at the girl in front of Wang Kai and his wife in surprise: "Shi Shi?"
"Why are you back?"
The person who appeared in front of him was Shi Shi. She was wearing a short floral skirt and a pair of white shoes. She was bright and beautiful. She smiled and said, "My mom said my dad missed me, so I came back with her. I came back earlier than you."
Liang Fei looked at Shi Shi, then at the two boys who had just complained about her, and suddenly reached out and hugged her into his arms: "Rich woman, my pocket money is not enough."
Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Say something nice."
"Love you."
"Here, I'll give you my card, use it as you like." As she said that, Shi Shi took out a bank card from her bag and stuffed it into Liang Fei's hand.
The two young men stared at Shi Shi in a daze. It was rare to see such a beautiful sister in the small county town. The boys who had never seen the world were almost stunned.
The four of them walked out of the milk tea shop, and Liang Fei asked Wang Kai: "Where is your son? I haven't seen him yet."
Wang Kai laughed and said, "I'm going out to play with you. When I called, Shi Shi was at our house holding my son and making him laugh. She said she wanted to give you a surprise, but she didn't tell you in advance. Before we went out, we asked the baby's grandmother to come and take care of him for a day."
Wang Kai's wife also smiled and said, "Mr. Liang has returned home. As his senior, of course I have to greet him in person."
"Say that."
Liang Fei waved his hands and laughed, saying with emotion: "Oh, I never expected that. Wang Kai and I were born in the same year, and you are already a father. It's hard to predict what will happen in the world, it's hard to predict what will happen in the world."
After hearing this, the senior student smiled and said, "You should hurry up, because some people might be waiting for you to speak up."
After saying that, he looked at Shi Shi.
Wang Kai also said: "That's right, you two, childhood sweethearts, what a perfect match. Liang Fei, you should focus on your career while also taking care of your personal issues. Our Shi Shi is not young anymore."
"You are not young anymore!" Which girl likes to be talked about her age? Shi Shi immediately glared at Wang Kai with a frown.
Seeing Liang Fei didn't say anything, Shi Shi immediately explained: "There are many things you don't know. Liang Fei is under a lot of mental pressure. He has to make decisions and deal with many things. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Who said I was waiting for him? I'm not."
After listening to this, Liang Fei showed no expression on the surface, but was actually relieved in his heart. Damn it, depression is a universal excuse, it still has some power until now, and it can even make Shi Shi take the initiative to explain for him.
That's awesome.
