Chapter 120 A deal on the table
"Don’t be angry. I know your life isn’t easy," Tony said. "Am I the kind of person who tricks his friends?"
He said that, and I really couldn’t argue; after all, my life was really tight before, and he wasn’t wrong.
I smiled helplessly, changed the subject, and saw his badge. "TT Media."
"Which department are you in?" I asked.
"I only joined the marketing department two months ago, so it doesn’t feel like a permanent position for me," he expressed. "The constant back-and-forth demands are pushing me to the brink of madness; I haven’t been able to secure any deals successfully yet. If this continues, I may consider quietly returning to my hometown."
I patted his shoulder and comforted him, "I was the same before; you’ll get used to it."
I passed him a cigarette. Since this cafe is located in a commercial building where smoking is allowed and many people come here for business meetings, it felt awkward to enjoy coffee without smoking. Is having a high profile more important than making money?
I asked, "If life is hard, why don’t you come to me?"
He chuckled, "In this state, what would I come to you for? I have no face! I don’t even want to go to the class reunion next month."
"Some people are still living off their parents, why not go?"
I exhaled smoke slowly. "Don’t you want to see your Violet?"
"Come on. She’s beautiful and comes from a good family. I heard her family arranged for her to enter the municipal university. What do I have to pursue her?" He said somewhat dejectedly. "Let’s forget it. She and I are from two different worlds."
