Originally, they were just going out for a late-night snack, but since they were already outside, Zhang Menglong and Wang Ling decided to hit up a skewer restaurant, of course, bringing Xia You along.
"You know, occasionally eating what common folks eat, it really brings back memories!"
"You make it sound like you don't eat what regular people eat every day. It's nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, meat, and vegetables; what else could it be?" Wang Ling treated Zhang Menglong's remark as if he were just expounding some sentiments.
"That's where you're wrong," Zhang Menglong said, "The porridge I drink every morning is made from Kobe beef flown in from the Island Country, the fish I eat are farmed privately in Australia, and fed Kobe beef, and the vegetables I eat are grown on our family's contracted farm..."
"Enough, enough, I don't want to hear it," Wang Ling hurriedly blocked her ears; Zhang Menglong's flaunting of wealth, which always seemed to slip out casually, made her resentment grow twofold.
"Thank you both for helping me out today. This drink, I dedicate to you, bros!" Xia You had changed into fresh clothes, and although a bit frail, she looked much better.
"Don't be so polite. You called me 'bro,' so of course, I'd help!" Wang Ling said cheerfully.
"Right, you are now our dedicated musician. Anyone who wants to mess with you has to go through us first," Zhang Menglong said. "I am quite superstitious, and facing today's incident, I had to step in. Plus, you overheard earlier; I've been wanting to deal with Wangyi Group for a while now, and this just gave me an excuse!"
"Pfft!" Seeing Zhang Menglong's sly smile, Xia You burst out laughing. She knew Zhang Menglong was just saying this to keep her from feeling burdened.
"I'm like you; I'm also a senior this year. I've seen your profile—you're a few months younger than me. I'll thick-skinnedly accept the title of 'Big Brother Zhang.' Next time, I'll introduce my roommate to you, who knows, maybe one day you really will become my friend's girlfriend!"
Xia You's face turned red instantly. Zhang Menglong's jokes were really too much, one after another.
"Big Brother Zhang, let's just let this matter rest here. Wangyi is not some small company. I heard that Mr. Ding has recently increased his shareholding a lot, owning 70% of the company shares between him and his son. I'm worried it might affect you."
"Don't worry, even ten Wangyi Groups couldn't pluck a single hair from this young man!" Wang Ling said, her words muffled as she ate.
"Since you call me 'Big Brother,' I must seek justice for you. You have to know, a cancer like Ding Yuxi, if not disciplined, will only harm more girls in society."
"Don't worry, I know what you're concerned about," Zhang Menglong immediately saw through Xia You's worries, "Wang Ling will help you delete the hotel's video footage. If Ding Yuxi secretly took any videos that could damage your reputation, I'll take care of them. Apart from us, no one else will know about today's events."
"Then... I'll listen to you." It wouldn't be true if she said she didn't want to see Ding Yuxi receive his due punishment. She simply didn't have the means to protect herself. Now that Zhang Menglong and Wang Ling were willing to seek justice for her, she was naturally grateful.
...
"Dad, what should I do?"
"Leave this matter to me. Starting today, you're to reflect at home for a month, and don't stir up any more trouble!"
...
The next day, Zhang Menglong was still with Wang Ling at the audition site watching the selection of actors who had minor roles; not complete nobodies, but even these characters created scenes that looked like titans clashing.
"Keep watching, I'll take a call!" Zhang Menglong glanced at his phone, which showed an unfamiliar number. Experience exclusive tales on empire
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Mr. Zhang Menglong? Hello, this is Ding Sanshi?"
"Holy shit! It's you?" Before Zhang Menglong had figured out how to deal with Ding Yuxi making him cringe, his father, Ding Sanshi, had come knocking at his door.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Menglong was startled but quickly regained his composure.
"Mr. Zhang, there might be some misunderstanding regarding my son's issue. I was wondering if it's not too inconvenient to meet the young lady who was hurt yesterday, so I can apologize on behalf of my son."
"If you want to apologize, come yourself. Sending someone else shows no sincerity at all. Forget it!" Zhang Menglong answered irritably.
Ding Sanshi's face turned crimson with anger. He was the chairman of a listed company, personally apologizing to an ordinary young girl, and this was called lacking sincerity?
"Then Mr. Zhang, what do you think constitutes sufficient sincerity?" Ding Sanshi asked, "I'm willing to offer a billion to get the girl's forgiveness."
"A billion? Why do you and your son think money can solve everything?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Alright, since you want to settle with money, it can be done, but as I said yesterday, 50 billion, not a penny less, or else this won't be over!"
"50 billion? Do you think you're dealing with the Bank of Heaven and Earth? If you can produce that money, I'll eat my Wangyi Building!"
"Producing 50 billion in cash all at once, I believe no one in Huaxia could accomplish that."
"Oh, okay," said Zhang Menglong calmly, "Well, I have never seen someone eat a building before. How about I come up with a few more 50 billions, and you build a couple more to eat for me to watch? How does that sound?"
