Chapter 10: 【010】Urban Legends
"Hahaha, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this happy. Ah Hu, I’m telling you, as long as you’re alive, you have to find a way to make money. When you’ve got money, a car, and a house, no one will say anything about you.
On the contrary, if you’re honest but without a car, a house, or money, people will talk behind your back and criticize you."
Ye Yuanpei, with his drunken, bleary eyes, was smoking a cigarette, laughing loudly while being supported by Lin Haitao on the roadside.
Tonight he had indeed drunk quite a lot, enough baijiu—1.4 pounds—to be lethal enough to make Wang Longhu black out then and there.
"Hu, do you have anything going on tomorrow? Want to join us for lunch in the city center, at a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, to change things up a bit?" Lin Haitao asked.
"Nah, I don’t think I’ll be able to get up, and going to the city center is pretty far," Wang Longhu politely declined, having overslept in the afternoon and then drank in the evening.
He’d already wasted a lot of time today and couldn’t afford to be delayed further by spending a whole day happily in the city center tomorrow.
At the end of the road, a green-plated electric car hurriedly approached; it was Ye Yuanpei’s designated ride.
The three had drunk quite a bit tonight. Even though Wang Longhu could use his refined spirit to dispel the effects of alcohol, he didn’t dare drive under the influence of alcohol. Taking a taxi was the safest option.
Watching Ye Yuanpei and Lin Haitao get into the car, Wang Longhu turned to leave.
Seeing this, Lin Haitao quickly rolled down the window and asked, "Hu, where are you going? Get in the car and let’s go home together."
