CHAPTER 1103: CHAPTER 1103: FINE, I’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU

In the end, he changed his way of doing things, intentionally making himself seem more approachable, and it actually had some effect.

But Fan Mingzhe misunderstood.

In Fan Mingzhe’s eyes, Xiao Zheng was just a small company employee, surrounded by people of low status, and immediately he revealed a knowing smile.

"It seems I still didn’t consider thoroughly. Brother Xiao’s friends must be... similar to those heroes in the ancient city bustle, naturally not needing to bother with these tedious dining etiquettes, since people in different circles have different lifestyles."

Although his words expressed understanding of Xiao Zheng’s behavior, in reality, he was saying Xiao Zheng was one of those people from the lower social strata, having nothing to do with upper-class people like him.

Arrogant and hypocritical.

Xiao Yufei immediately felt a tinge of dislike towards this Fan Mingzhe, a person who thinks himself noble, aloof, and despises others, always gives off an irresistible greasy feeling.

However, Fan Mingzhe didn’t notice Xiao Yufei’s feelings. On the contrary, a victorious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, thinking he’d made Xiao Zheng lose face deeply with his words.

Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, looked at Fan Mingzhe like he was a fool, and chuckled, "What you said is indeed quite correct, high praise indeed."

Fan Mingzhe would never realize how different his circle was from Xiao Zheng’s circle.

One is the Divine Dragon from the nine heavens, and the other is just a slightly bigger ant on the ground.

The corner of Fan Mingzhe’s mouth twitched; why did the look in the other person’s eyes seem a bit strange?

Could it be that he didn’t catch the undertones in his words? Is there really such an idiot?

Fan Mingzhe felt like he had punched into air; earlier on he had been looking forward to Xiao Zheng angrily refuting, so that he could calmly, with his eloquent words, embarrass the other at this dining table.

But since that’s how it is now, there’s no help for it, Fan Mingzhe quickly switched the topic, with a faint smile on his lips, "I heard Brother Xiao is doing well now."

Xiao Zheng nodded, "It’s alright, put together a little project and made some money."

The little project he mentioned naturally shook the entire movie industry, its box office had already reached over four billion.

It can only be described as terrifying.

Yet Fan Mingzhe had not taken the time to learn about Xiao Zheng; in his impressions, Xiao Zheng was still just that small employee from before.

He immediately put on the demeanor of someone experienced, sincerely saying, "I say, Brother Xiao, I feel if you keep doing this, it won’t work."

"Working at a company for ten years or more, in the end, if lucky, becomes a senior manager, which outsiders might think is good enough, but shouldn’t a fine young man like us strive for life beyond working for others all the time? Besides, even working for several decades doesn’t necessarily accumulate much wealth."

Xiao Yufei suddenly couldn’t hold back; always hearing Fan Mingzhe’s speech degrade Xiao Zheng, she didn’t know why it made her feel very angry at heart.

With her eyebrows arched, Xiao Yufei was about to erupt, but just then, Xiao Zheng suddenly laughed, "Brother Fan is quite right, what kind of work is Brother Fan doing now?"

Fan Mingzhe looked at Xiao Zheng a bit surprisingly, thinking, is this person really an idiot? This is just cooperating with me!

Fan Mingzhe instantly laughed, "I wasn’t much, after returning from overseas, I got to know a few friends, recently we’ve partnered to create a small entertainment company with a film starring me that has been released."

"Oh, is it that film?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.

Fan Mingzhe modestly smiled, "Named ’Miracle’, the box office is decent enough, grudgingly hit five hundred million."

Five hundred million in box office, for someone like Fan Mingzhe just returning from abroad, was already quite an accomplishment.

With this movie’s success, he will surely gain more resources and even attract some big directors’ attention, reaching the sky in one step.

Xiao Zheng laughed, "Brother Fan is indeed young and promising, already has a film earning five hundred million, entering the billion-dollar box office club."

Fan Mingzhe’s smile was bright; Xiao Zheng now seemed rather agreeable, even a bit kind—earlier he was distressed about how to modestly present his "great achievements" without appearing arrogant to Xiao Yufei; but now, Xiao Zheng was cooperating so well!

"Brother Xiao over-praises." For a while, Fan Minzhe grinned so widely that his mouth nearly didn’t close.

Xiao Zheng sighed, "Speaking of which, I feel ashamed, Yu Fei, such a good girl, actually ended up with someone as unknown as me, thinking about this every day feels like a stroke of luck."

"And now, when compared to Brother Fan, this feeling of shame is even stronger, I can’t even face Yu Fei."

Sighing there.

Fan Mingzhe was stunned.

This... this development, he can hardly sustain it, hearing Xiao Zheng’s tone, was he about to offer Xiao Yufei to him?

"Hahaha, it seems my charisma has reached a degree that makes Xiao Zheng feel utterly non-competitive before me."

Fan Mingzhe laughed heartily in his mind.

Then noticed Xiao Zheng’s earnest expression, suddenly his heart skipped a beat, could this guy have set his eyes on me?

Xiao Yufei widened her eyes, showing a surprised look, bro, I brought you here to be my boyfriend, what on earth are you playing here?

Sacrificing such a passionate, lively girl like me?

Xiao Yufei instantly became furious.

"Xiao Zheng!"

Xiao Yufei shouted, "What did you mean by saying that?"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes revealed a teasing glint deep inside, yet his face bore a melancholic expression, telling Xiao Yufei:

"Brother Fan was right, someone like me has no bright future, following me has no prospects."

Xiao Yufei shouted, "I don’t care! You’re the man I’ve chosen, no matter what, if worse comes to worst, I’ll support you, don’t think of pushing me away."

At this moment, she was already fuming and muddled, directly voicing such words.

After saying that, Xiao Yufei felt it somewhat wasn’t enough, suddenly hugged Xiao Zheng’s neck, and kissed him, passionate yet soft.

"Mmm..."

Xiao Zheng struggled but in vain.

The forceful assault from Xiao Yufei, probably no one in this world can resist.
