Chapter 1342 He's a eunuch! How despicable! (Day 6 of Saturday, please vote!)

Although Shi Xiaomeng adopted Wu Jing's attitude, he was genuinely puzzled. Seeing that his fellow villager and boss, Mr. Hu, didn't want to answer him, he left.

Soon, the sound of things being smashed came from Mr. Hu's office, which frightened the employees outside, who all lowered their heads like quails.

Only the flirtatious female accountant went inside.

"Mr. Hu?"

"Get out!" Mr. Hu gave his mistress a cold look, pointing to the door and telling her to leave.

He's furious right now, and it's not the typical Hong Kong-style anger that she can't handle. On the contrary, her presence here will only make him angrier and leave him with nowhere to vent.

The reason is very simple.

First of all, it's during working hours, and the outside is full of employees, so he can't possibly let her help him vent.

Secondly, the 8 yuan bonus that he was forced to transfer by Shi Xiaomeng was handled by her.

As his financial advisor and lover, she was his true confidante.

So he deliberately took advantage of Shi Xiaomeng. Although he hadn't explained why, she knew to some extent that he was up to no good.

Now that he has failed and has been humiliated by Shi Xiaomeng, all he can do is smash things in a fit of impotent rage, which is very shameful.

In front of a lover, a man can be bad, but he cannot be incompetent!
In the original storyline, he relentlessly pressured Shi Xiaomeng, pushing him into a truly desperate situation where he could only keep urging Cheng Feng for orders. The fees on the orders he submitted were even higher than those of major companies in the industry, because he was confident that it was a favor he was owed and that he wouldn't take more than he was entitled to.

However, Cheng Gongzi's father humiliated him, saying that he was a toad trying to eat swan meat, and directly called to refuse, completely dashing his hopes. This caused him to lose his temper, humiliate Shi Xiaomeng, and expel him.

But after calming down, he told his lover, the accountant, that he wanted Shi Xiaomeng to come back, hoping that maybe a miracle could be created.

As long as Young Master Cheng still cares about Shi Xiaomeng's childhood sweetheart, there is still hope.

As it turned out, he was right.

Unfortunately, Shi Xiaomeng overheard this conversation.

The mistress's finances insisted that he explain why he did it, even resorting to new tricks to tempt him, promising to start immediately if he told her. Once she found out, she just teased him, saying he was so wicked.

Women love men who are a little bad!
But if a man reveals a less powerful, or even incompetent, then he can expect women to feel contempt and develop feelings of unease.

Confucius wasn't ignorant of women and petty people; rather, he understood them all too well.

Now that Mr. Hu has become corrupt, he is naturally unwilling to expose his failures and incompetence to his mistress, the accountant.

The look of grievance in his lover's eyes as she left made him even more heartbroken.

Ever since Shi Xiaomeng dared to rebel, one horrible thing after another has been exposed, it's just never-ending. He can't even imagine that there are so many... damn it!

Unlike his fellow townsman and boss, Mr. Hu, Shi Xiaomeng felt much better after leaving the office building and looking up at the sky. He felt as if the gloom that had weighed on his heart and eyes for years in Beijing had completely dissipated, and he felt relaxed and refreshed.

He went to the sales office immediately and paid the down payment of 6 yuan. After paying this amount, at least his deposit wouldn't be wasted.

He planned to return the remaining 2 to the madman.

Although the madman hasn't done that yet, he's convinced of He Chen's judgment and subconsciously wants to distance himself from the madman, not wanting to owe him any more favors.

He began to re-examine the favors he had done for the madman, offsetting and canceling them one by one.

No longer as foolish as before, only remembering favors owed without keeping track of how much they helped the madman.

One must not be muddle-headed in life!
Human relationships should not be a muddled affair!
A small favor is appreciated, but an excessive one breeds resentment!
He then invited He Chen to meet up that evening.

In the past, he would have immediately invited Wu Di and Crazy to such a joyous occasion, but now his first thought was He Chen.

Although the time he had known He Chen was less than a fraction of the time he had known the three brothers, Crazy Wu Di, it had to be said that He Chen's position in his heart had already surpassed that of Crazy Wu Di and Wu Wei, whom he admired and called "Big Brother".

That evening, He Chen gladly accepted the invitation and listened to Shi Xiaomeng recount his experiences that day. He inquired about the details with great interest and raised a toast in celebration.

"Well done!" "He Chen, why do you think he did that?" Shi Xiaomeng clinked glasses with He Chen, took a big gulp, and still felt a sense of unreality and bewilderment.

"It's only about 8 yuan! Even if it's for that crazy company's order, if it's not going to work, it's not going to work. Why force me into a corner?"

“Because in his eyes, you’re not a person, just a beast of burden, just consumables!” He Chen shook his head: “As long as it makes him earn more money, and earn money faster, he won’t even blink an eye if he treats you as consumables to be wasted.”

You think you can endure hardship and work like a slave to earn money for him.

But what he doesn't know is that he thinks if you don't do it, there are plenty of other people who will!

His motivation for making all decisions is to extract the greatest benefit from you in the shortest amount of time.

All the other stuff, like hometown sentiment and sustainable exploitation, is bullshit!

"That's what happens when you're an honest person!"

"What's wrong with being an honest person?" Shi Xiaomeng thought of the past three years of forbearance, and his face, slightly intoxicated by the alcohol, showed resentment.

"Is this what honest people deserve?"

"Although honest people shouldn't be held at gunpoint, the reality is that honest people are often held at gunpoint!" He Chen sighed.

"If you get hit but don't cry out or make a fuss, everyone will assume you're not in pain and haven't been hit."

This is a world where people get what they want, and this has been true throughout history and across the world! Honest and kind people are just a string of numbers that don't say a word.

Struggle and contention are the eternal themes!
If you want to strive and get ahead, you can't be an honest person; you have to compete with others!
Unless you have a powerful CEO as your father, who will provide you with all the resources and make it easy for you to succeed without going through the motions.

Otherwise, all you can do is fight and struggle!

In Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, tears don't matter!

Of course, we rely solely on our own efforts and only fight for what we deserve.

At this point, he looked at Shi Xiaomeng and sighed, "Especially for people like you, who represent the struggles of ordinary people from farming families, you are bound to suffer such suppression and malicious hostility!"
If we don't make you miserable and let us all see your tragedy, it will scare away millions of people like you who are at the bottom of society, but have talent, want to strive, are kind and honest, and don't want to argue or fight. Then, the ones who can't sleep at night will be the incompetent ones who want to occupy high positions by relying on their status!

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey—you are that chicken!"

"It shouldn't be like this..." Shi Xiaomeng muttered to himself, his face showing resentment. The joy of getting back the 8 yuan bonus and giving his fellow villager boss a good scolding had all vanished, and he felt somewhat depressed.

“It shouldn’t be like this, but it’s not that terrible!” He Chen laughed. “If everything were like it is abroad, there would be no need for these different ways of suppressing you. It would disgust and scare away millions of people like you.”

It's all out in the open, what can you do about it? You can only resort to American-style self-deprecation.

But here, they can only use this method to make an example of someone, which shows that they can't do what they do abroad.

As long as we don't let them lead us astray, we can still strive for progress on our own, and they can't stop us even if they want to.

Because they can't compete fairly and squarely!

Just like the college entrance exam!
It's like a thousand troops trying to cross a single-plank bridge; they just can't do it, they simply can't. They have no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics!

As long as we remain calm and composed, these are just clowns, nothing to fear!

"Well said!" Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaomeng's eyes lit up, and his suppressed emotions instantly cleared up.

What could inspire someone like him more than hope?

Hu Jintao was indeed very powerful and inspiring despair, but what about now?
He could point his finger at the other person and ask, "How shameless are you?"

Hu Jintao has become a eunuch and refuses to answer!

But what he really wanted to say was, "That's so despicable!"
