Chapter 1334 Fellow villagers meet, then shoot each other in the back!
Does your boss know about your predicament?

After listening quietly, He Chen asked a question that surprised Shi Xiaomeng.

"I know." Although Shi Xiaomeng didn't know why He Chen suddenly brought this up, he quickly responded and nodded.

“I took leave before because of Lin Xia’s suicide attempt, and this time I sacrificed myself and missed the advertising contract. I told him all of that.”

"So you urgently need that 8 yuan bonus right now?" He Chen asked. After Shi Xiaomeng nodded, he shook his head.

"You shouldn't have said that! What's the difference between what you did and handing him leverage over you?"

“He’s from my hometown, and he’s taken care of me before…” Shi Xiaomeng wanted to explain, but He Chen interrupted him.

"When fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back! And don't even mention that he took care of you before. If he really took care of you, would he have just kept making empty promises and never delivered the 8 yuan bonus you should have received long ago?"
You generated 900 million yuan in profit for him over the past three years, but you only received a paltry 8 yuan in bonuses. Even so, he still holds you back and takes every opportunity to withhold your bonus.

Is this how fellow villagers take care of each other?

Now you've bought a house based on this promised 80,000 yuan bonus, even paid a deposit, and are just waiting for that 80,000 yuan. You've even told him about it. Do you know what this is all about?

This is simply handing over your vulnerabilities to a beast, letting him bite you mercilessly.

"Surely it's not that bad?" Shi Xiaomeng was still a little incredulous: "At most, he won't give me the 8 yuan bonus, what else could he do with it?"

“He’s got a lot more to his name than you!” He Chen sneered. “Since he’s from your hometown, he must have had many heart-to-heart talks with you and must know that you have a rich second-generation friend.”

He was reluctant to talk about it before, or you would push him away if he brought it up, so he didn't want to force him.

But now you're clinging to the edge of a cliff, and the only lifeline you're holding onto—the 80,000 yuan prize money—is being held by him. Do you think he's pulling you up directly, or is he using this opportunity to make you abandon your principles and help him make a fortune?

Seeing Shi Xiaomeng's expression change, He Chen continued to explain the terrible and distressing experiences in the original story through analysis.

"And your childhood sweetheart, now that you've been injured while sacrificing yourself for others, have you thought about taking her over to take care of you so that you can reunite in Beijing?"
She's here, are you going to pick her up?

You like her so much, you probably don't want to make her feel uncomfortable by having to squeeze onto the bus with all her luggage, right?

You'll most likely ask your friend Cheng Feng, who has a car and plenty of free time, to go pick her up with you.

But as you can see, Cheng Feng is the kind of person who would cradle his neck and lewdly stare at even those whose faces are completely unappealing to you but whose legs are incredibly long.

Isn't your childhood sweetheart prettier than her?
Once Cheng Feng falls in love with your childhood sweetheart at first sight, and your fellow villager and boss find out, have you thought about what the result will be?

He will definitely exploit you even more, push you to the brink, and then make you beg Cheng Feng to help you secure a huge deal that he couldn't get before, thus earning enormous profits.

Originally, relying solely on his friendship, he wasn't very confident and was just giving it a try, albeit with little thought.

But once he has the option of having you as his childhood sweetheart, in his eyes, the success rate rises to 90%, making it worth his desperate scheming.

Since he failed anyway, at worst he'll offend you terribly. He's been withholding your bonuses for a while, so he'll just find an excuse to deduct them. He's not afraid of offending you.

In that situation, you will face both the exploitation and coercion of your boss, who will only allow you to sell your childhood sweetheart to get big orders, and the prospect of losing all your hard-earned deposit for the house purchase due to insufficient funds, leaving you back to square one after all your savings.

Surrounded by the open and subtle discrimination from the people of Beijing against someone like you, a "stinking outsider begging for food," you're seething with anger and desperately want to prove yourself. You also have to deal with a huge favor from your friend, and the fact that he still harbors feelings for your childhood sweetheart. You wanted to give your sweetheart the hopeful life you'd prepared for her, but instead, you're constantly frowning and thinking about these hopeless situations. What romance and happiness can you possibly offer her?
If, in your most desperate moment, Cheng Feng's father offered you a high-level management position and enough money in return for giving up your childhood sweetheart, what would you choose?

Don't think it's impossible!

You must know what Cheng Feng's relationship with his father is like, and why it's like this.

This is why, even though he has harmed hundreds or thousands of girls, you don't think of him as a lecherous villain that everyone condemns.

He had an unhappy childhood, and he does these things to heal his wounds and numb himself.

But what if he is very beautiful to you, and you feel that none of his girlfriends can compare to you? You might fall in love at first sight with him, just like Gao Yanei became obsessed with Lin Niangzi and couldn't live without her.

Although it's the same as always, with hundreds or thousands of examples proving that it's actually just lust at first sight, and people can't help but crane their necks when they see someone attractive, that person is none other than your good buddy's childhood sweetheart!
It's better to conceal things a little before making a move.

Saying, like Long Xiaoyun, that he is obsessed with his childhood sweetheart and can't live without her, that he's wasting away for her, and that he'd give up his carefree lifestyle for her, is a perfect way to cover up his true feelings.

What do you think Cheng Feng's father, who has always wanted to improve his relationship with his son, would do when faced with his only son who wants to turn over a new leaf?
Will you be like Gao Qiu, disregarding morality and forcing me to submit?

When that time comes, in despair, what choice will you make when faced with the options Cheng Gaoqiu presents to you?

It should be noted that Lin Chong actually had no choice back then, as Gao Qiu framed him and tried to kill him.

Now that Cheng Gaoqiu is not only giving you a choice, but also wealth and status, isn't he still a kind person?

"What a load of rubbish, a decent person!" Shi Xiaomeng blurted out, his expression already somewhat ferocious.

no way!
Although he didn't believe He Chen's description of the dark future at first, the more he listened, the more he felt that it wasn't impossible.

In particular, He Chen's predictions about Cheng Feng's change in mentality and the things Cheng Feng's father might do for his son were both unexpected and reasonable to him.

Moreover, this wasn't something He Chen came up with out of thin air; it was based on characters and stories from famous works and various classic tales.

You have to believe it.

Even if we don't say it's absolutely true, just consider the possibility, could he accept it?
Moreover, given the predicament and crisis he is currently facing, and the fact that he is almost suffocating from the pressure of his environment and work life, although he is unwilling to think this way, a voice in his heart tells him that the possibility of the story that He Chen deduced is not just a one in a million.

It's not one percent, but one-tenth, or even one-half.

“Right! Bullshit about being a kind person!” He Chen nodded: “They are the ones who pushed you to the brink, forcing you to make a choice that would be painful no matter which way you chose, and in the end they are the kind people.”

In my opinion, you're probably the kind one.

If you truly choose to let go of love and choose your career, and then make a name for yourself and have the ability to take revenge on them, given your personality, you will probably be like Liu Bei, and in the end, you will still give your enemies who harmed you a dignified end.

Yuan Shu previously looked down on Liu Bei and was hostile towards him, but in the end Liu Bei defeated him and gave him a final moment of dignity.

This is why Yuan Shu said Liu Bei was a kind and honest person in the Three Kingdoms period.
