Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Article 1357 God: You have nothing, I will take everything from you; you have something, I will give you more! (Day 11!)

"Your place isn't all that great either!"

Cheng Feng turned around once and then shook his head.

"Of course it can't compare to your place!" Shi Xiaomeng laughed, "But it's already very good! It may be small, but it has all the essential parts. This is where my career started!"

"So you plan to stay in Beijing and continue your struggle?" Cheng Feng asked to confirm.

"Although it hasn't been finalized yet, this might be the plan for now!" Shi Xiaomeng said excitedly.

"That's great!" Cheng Feng laughed heartily, putting his arm around Shi Xiaomeng's shoulder: "I was worried that you might do something rash and go back to your hometown, then our Three Musketeers would be disbanded!"

That’s good!

So, this small company has successfully established itself!

That changed my mind.

This company is really good!

Because it left me with my brother!

"..." Shi Xiaomeng saw that Cheng Feng almost transformed into Liu Bei, treating the company like a forest and him like Xu Shu. Although he felt a little awkward, he was also touched by Cheng Feng's genuine happiness for him. He stopped worrying about the condescending tone in Cheng Feng's words, which belittled the company that he was most satisfied with.

"By the way, is the reason you haven't completely decided whether to stay or not because of Shen Bing?" Seeing that Shi Xiaomeng was moved, Cheng Feng casually brought up what he truly cared about.

"Her job situation hasn't been finalized yet, which is why you're unsure whether to stay and work hard?"
I can help with this!

You are not allowed to refuse!
In order for you to stay, and for the sake of the Three Musketeers, I must make sure you all stay!
Besides, you were able to get He Chen to find you a job, so you wouldn't refuse my offer to help Chibi Maruko-chan find a job, would you?

If you really dare to say that, don't blame me for turning against you!
Is my brotherhood with you really less than that with He Chen, who just arrived later?

Cheng Feng stared at Shi Xiaomeng with a half-serious look, not giving Shi Xiaomeng a chance to refuse.

Because he wouldn't allow Shi Xiaomeng to refuse.

These past few days have been agonizing for him. After much deliberation, one of the things he was most certain of was that he absolutely could not let Shi Xiaomeng and the others go back to their hometown.

Once they choose to go back to their hometown, his chickens will be even less.

Only if they all stay in his territory, in this metropolis with great opportunities but also greater cruelty, in this place where Shi Xiaomeng has no roots and is constantly being forced to become a eunuch, can he have a better chance of success.

So he not only had to help Shen Bing, no, Chibi Maruko-chan, find a job, but also find the best job for her.

As for why Shen Bing has to be called Cherry Maruko, the reason is actually very simple, as it was already recorded in Dream of the Red Chamber!

It's like how Jia Baoyu gave Lin Daiyu the courtesy name "Pinpin" as soon as they met.

A girl's courtesy name is not something that just anyone can give her. The term "待字闺中" (dài zì guī zhōng) means that a girl does not have a courtesy name before marriage. It is only when she is about to get married that her father or elders give her a courtesy name before the marriage, or her husband gives her a courtesy name after the marriage.

When Jia Baoyu first met Lin Daiyu, he gave her a courtesy name, which was a kind of official seal. Calling her that way afterward was also a kind of ambiguous gesture.

Cheng Feng doesn't address Shen Bing by her real name, but rather by the nickname he gave her, "Chibi Maruko-chan," which carries a special, ambiguous connotation.

Shi Xiaomeng didn't call her by her name, but rather addressed her affectionately as "little maid," or introduced her directly as his wife.

When Cheng Feng saw Chibi Maruko-chan, he realized she was incomparable to those flashy, cheap women outside, and certainly not as materialistic as his friend Wu Di's gold-digging ex-girlfriend, Yang Zixi.

A girlfriend like that, especially a childhood sweetheart, is really hard to steal away.

Therefore, we must have a strategy and proceed step by step!

After much deliberation, he finalized the basic steps. The first step was to ensure that both Shi Xiaomeng and Shen Bing stayed.

This is the premise!

Secondly, he would introduce Shen Bing to the best job, one that is easy to do, high-paying, and allows her to meet more people from high society like him, broadening her horizons and ideally cultivating her more sophisticated spending habits.

That way, she won't be like a country bumpkin who thinks that renting a place and eating simple meals can be just as happy.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!
If the country bumpkin Chibi Maruko-chan experiences a better quality of life, then if Shi Xiaomeng can no longer provide that quality of life, their relationship will face a serious challenge!

Third, he also planned to get advertising deals for Shi Xiaomeng, and even intended to give Shi Xiaomeng the annual advertising slots for his own Dade Company.

That's right!

It's the annual advertising for Dade Company that even Hu's advertising agency isn't qualified to receive.

In the past, he would never mention it, only offering empty promises without any real action.

This led to President Hu saying to Shi Xiaomeng, "Young Master Cheng doesn't take you seriously at all, he looks down on you completely," and Shi Xiaomeng also saying, "There are only two kinds of people in the world: the rich make fun of the poor."

As we all know, the villains in TV dramas who turn evil are usually speaking the absolute truth.

It's clear that Cheng Feng really is like that.

Now, because of He Chen's intervention, it has become more difficult for Cheng Feng to manipulate Shi Xiaomeng. He has no choice but to painfully change his strategy, from playing around as he pleased to having to painstakingly devise a plan.

But he is still the protagonist, he is God!

So he decided to adopt God's principle: what you don't have, I will take away from you; what you have, I will give you even more!
This looks absolutely inhuman!
That's absolutely wicked!

But God isn't human either!

So that makes perfect sense!

He, Cheng Feng, the God, was determined to change his previous empty promises and instead provide Shi Xiaomeng with the kind of help that he used to desperately need but no longer required.

The goal was to give Shi Xiaomeng a boost, both to fuel his ambitions and to keep him busy with work, leaving him no time for affection with Shen Bing.

Pan, Lu, Deng, Xiao, Xian. Pan, Lu, Deng can probably only describe He Chen, but it doesn't matter, he can completely defeat Shi Xiaomeng with Xiao and Xian.

Once Shi Xiaomeng dedicates all his time to his work, becoming more and more energetic with each effort, he'll have less time to be affectionate with his childhood sweetheart.

If those who are close to you are disrespectful, those who are distant will resent you.

A woman's lament: I regret urging my husband to seek fame and fortune!
He understands so well!
That would be the perfect opportunity for Cheng Xiaoxian, who had nothing better to do and had become a master of killing thousands of people, to take advantage of the situation.

He needs to review and adjust more plans, but he's determined to take these three steps.

"You're crazy, you really don't have to do this!" Seeing that Cheng Feng had already gone this far, Shi Xiaomeng couldn't refuse any longer and could only agree.

Otherwise, it would mean you're not treating a madman as a brother.

If he were forced to choose between Crazy and He Chen, and compared who was more important, he was afraid of hurting their brotherly relationship... because he would definitely choose He Chen!
They wouldn't even be as good as Cheng Feng at speaking to people in one way and to ghosts in another!
Because the truth cannot be hidden, especially in this kind of matter. Telling a lie, even if He Chen doesn't know the truth, is an insult to He Chen!
He would never do such a thing!
"That's more like it!" Cheng Feng smiled broadly when he saw that the first step had been successful. "What did Chibi Maruko-chan study again? Oh right, kindergarten teacher, right? You guys wait, I'll help you see if there's anything suitable."

In fact, he had already made preparations, using his connections and money to find Shen Bing a very good kindergarten.

He's been busy with this for the past two days; otherwise, if he had any free time and thought about the love between Shi Xiaomeng and Shen Bing, he would really go crazy.
