Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
Lin Zhiyun happily picked a beautiful crystal brooch from the boss’ counter. The price of this brooch in the mall was about five hundred and ninety-nine yuan, or six hundred yuan. Therefore, it was the same as Yang Ming winning six hundred yuan using ten yuan.
“What else do you want?” Yang Ming weighed the darts in his hand and asked Lin Zhiyun.
“!” The boss of the darts booth had cold sweat dripping down. As expected, this guy is a bad*ss. He simply let his girlfriend choose something!
“The air humidifier is very good. I want it!” Lin Zhiyun saw Yang Ming being so powerful, so she simply pointed to the prize for the eight darts.
“Okay! But what if I shake my hand and get ten darts?” Yang Ming joked.
“Then I can only have one more crystal!” Lin Zhiyun smiled happily.
” Ugh … this little brother… you wait…” The boss of the dart booth quickly stopped Yang Ming who was about to throw the dart. He said, “This little brother, can we discuss a little?”
“Discuss what?” Yang Ming frowned. He thought that the boss couldn’t afford it, and wanted to stop him. If that was the case, Yang Ming wouldn’t listen to him. He would complain to the management office of the temple fair.
“Little brother, look. Doesn’t your girlfriend like the humidifier? I will give her one. It doesn’t matter if you can’t get a good shot with the dart!” The boss of the dart booth wanted to lower his cost as much as possible, so, he wanted to give Yang Ming the humidifier. Otherwise, he would lose another piece of crystal.
“What do you think?” Yang Ming turned around and asked Lin Zhiyun.
Lin Zhiyun nodded, then Yang Ming said, “Well, you bring the humidifier.”
The boss was relieved. This humidifier was only worth more than a hundred yuan, which was much cheaper than the crystal. It was a big bargain for him!
When Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun got the humidifier, they left the entertainment street. The game coins were spent, so they naturally wouldn’t stay there.
After Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun had eaten some snacks on snack street, Yang Ming received a call from home. It was his mother.
“Big Ming, come back to meet your dad. Just now Factory Manager Feng called him again. Your dad just isolated himself, feeling really depressed. I attempted to talk to him but he didn’t care much about me. I was afraid later he would worry himself to develop some kind of mental disorder,” said Mother Yang worriedly.
“I got it. I will go back later.” Yang Ming sighed as he replied. How could he not know what his father was upset about?
After he hung up the phone, Lin Zhiyun noticed that Yang Ming had something to do, so she asked, “Yang Ming, did anything happen at home? Then you go back first. Anyway, we are about to finish our stroll. We are carrying so many prizes. It isn’t convenient to stroll around either.”
“Okay then, I will take you back.” Yang Ming nodded. He was also very worried about his father. His father wasn’t too young. Sometimes when people at his age often got depressed about something, they will have a serious illness. Yang Ming didn’t want anything to happen to his father. Filial piety comes first before everything. Although he was very happy to be with Lin Zhiyun, these things were nothing compared to his father’s matters.
“It’s okay. If you have something, you can go first. I can go back on my own,” said Lin Zhiyun.
“There are so many things. You can’t take all of them. Just let me take you back. We are not far from your home either.” As Yang Ming said this, he stopped a taxi.
” Ha ! Brother Yang, it really is you!” When the car stopped, Sun Kun extended his head out of the driver’s seat. “I thought I saw you from afar, so I came in your direction!”
“It turned out to be Brother Kun!” Yang Ming was a little surprised. “I was still wondering. There are many pedestrians near the temple. It isn’t easy for a car to drive through, so there are very few taxis. Then I just saw you coming over. It turned out that it was you who saw me!”
“Get in the car!” As Sun Kun spoke, he looked at the girl next to Yang Ming,guai guai long di dong [1]. How come he changed to another one? Zhao Ying, Chen Mengyan, Zhou Jiajia, how many affairs does this Brother Yang want to have?
But it was just a thought. Sun Kun didn’t dare to talk indiscriminately before he clarified Lin Zhiyun’s ident.i.ty.
When they got in the car, Yang Ming simply introduced Sun Kun and Lin Zhiyun to each other and didn’t say much. Yang Ming was also afraid that Lin Zhiyun would feel awkward. After all, the relations.h.i.+p between them was more troublesome to introduce. After coming to the door of Lin Zhiyun’s house, Yang Ming said to Sun Kun, “Brother Kun, wait for me. I will come back soon.”
“No problem!” Sun Kun nodded and said.
After they got out of the car, Yang Ming walked Lin Zhiyun back to the door. Then he said, “I won’t go in. Tell Aunty Shen that I have something to do at home.”
“Okay!” Lin Zhiyun nodded. “If you have something, you go back first.”
” En , yes, Zhiyun.” Yang Ming suddenly turned to look at Lin Zhiyun. “Right, I suddenly thought of a good solution!”
“What good solution?” Lin Zhiyun looked up at Yang Ming inexplicably.
“It’s the solution to the question you asked me before!” Yang Ming smiled.
” Ugh … What good solution did you think of?” Lin Zhiyun’s face blushed. She suddenly knew what Yang Ming was talking about. It must be the problem of what to do if the pretending couple was exposed.
“It’s very simple. Let’s turn the pretense into reality!” Yang Ming said in a serious manner.
” Huh ! Turn the pretense into reality?” Lin Zhiyun stared blankly at Yang Ming.
“Yeah, when you really become my girlfriend, aren’t these problems solved?” Yang Ming smiled and pinched Lin Zhiyun’s face. There was an inexplicable and ambiguous flirting.
Lin Zhiyun was staring blankly at Yang Ming. She was somewhat overwhelmed… What the h.e.l.l is he talking about? Could it be a joke? But can someone actually make such a joke?
It’s too ridiculous! Turn the pretense into reality? Become his girlfriend? But what about Chen Mengyan? Really, he talks about such a joke! Lin Zhiyun shook her head and looked up again. Yang Ming had already gone far…
Yang Ming returned to the taxi and his mouth was full of smiles. Is this a confession? I don’t know what Lin Zhiyun will think about it. Yang Ming wasn’t in a hurry to know the answer. He wanted to give Lin Zhiyun some time to think carefully about it.
Yang Ming had seized this good opportunity in a timely manner and told Lin Zhiyun this. Today, he really felt Lin Zhiyun’s heart. Lin Zhiyun should have feelings for him. Therefore, Yang Ming decided to take the initiative.
“She was…” Sun Kun asked curiously.
“How do I say… the relations.h.i.+p is a bit complicated.” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “She can be considered as my girlfriend.”
” Ugh … I really don’t understand the relations.h.i.+ps of you, young people. I’m old already. I can’t take it…” Sun Kun was a little confused. What is ‘can be considered’?
Seeing that Yang Ming seemed to have his difficulty, Sun Kun didn’t ask more. Yang Ming also changed the topic and talked about the incident when he met the taxi driver scamming him that day. When Sun Kun heard the car plate number of the car, he cursed, “That guy! He’s a shame to the taxi drivers! He’s notorious in this industry, but he seemed to have disappeared in the past two days. It was said that someone reported him and he was targeted by the traffic police! I didn’t see him at the train station and other places.”
Yang Ming was feeling funny. It seemed that Chen Fei’s colleague whom I met that the day must have reported it to the traffic police. This guy is unlucky!
Back at his home, Yang Ming saw his dad who was smoking on the sofa unhappily. He sighed, then came to his father’s side and sat down. “Dad, what happened?”
“Big Ming, you’re back!” Yang Dahai looked up and said with a bitter smile, “Dad is fine. Don’t worry about me. You go play in your own room.”
“Dad, are you reluctant to let the Song Jiang Bus Factory go? You don’t want to watch it go bankrupt, right?” Yang Ming shook his head and said very seriously.
“This…” Yang Dahai hesitated and then nodded slowly. “Big Ming, I’m a bit reluctant. After all, your dad has been working there for more than twenty years. I have seen the bus factory progress from its glory to downfall… If the factory goes bankrupt, let’s not mention it. How uncomfortable would I feel?”
“Dad, what kind of person is Factory Manager Feng? Why are there many factories going bankrupt?” Yang Ming continued, “Isn’t it because these managers are incapable? If they’re not capable then it’s fine. Some even put the company’s money into their own pocket and robbed all the company money. How can it not go bankrupt?”
“Big Ming, if it was anyone else, I don’t dare say. But Factory Manager Feng is definitely a good factory manager!” Yang Dahai said with excitement, “Old Feng was the workshop director when I first joined the work. I watched him work until he became the factory manager myself! You see, Old Feng has been the manager of the factory for so many years, and yet his house is still the same as ours. It has two rooms and one hall. When the profit of the factory wasn’t good, he even sold his own car…”
“Well, let’s not talk about him…” Yang Ming waved his hand. These superficial things couldn’t explain anything. Yang Ming just simply talked about it. Now he just wanted to know his father’s thoughts. “Dad, what do you think is the drawback of the factory now?”
“Drawback … Ai , how should I put it? There are some words I shouldn’t say, but since you asked, I will complain to you!” Yang Dahai said, “Factory Manager Feng is a good person, but he doesn’t know how to reform and innovate. When he understood this truth, it was too late. The factory has no more funds, and it has to bear such a large amount of staff expenses. How can it be reformed?”
