Chapter 152: Chapter 126: The Old Drunkard’s Intentions Are Not in the Wine_2

Hiss~

I could probably drive a Fortune 500 company to bankruptcy, right?

Does this make me the ultimate nemesis of insurance companies, the industry Terminator?

So you see, without a touch of mischief, you’d never know your own destructive power.

Although insurance companies are backed by the state and can’t go bankrupt, collapsing a department might be a piece of cake.

Too bad! Wang Zhiping got in a bit too early...

Meng Lang shook his head and chuckled at his own wicked thoughts.

"Hey bro, don’t keep feeding Xiao Lang drinks, let the kid eat some more dishes; he’s still got to travel today." Mom was starting to get unhappy.

"Cough! Big bro, you two are a generation apart, let me drink with you instead." Mr. Meng also stepped in timely.

"No worries, I know Xiao Lang’s alcohol tolerance, this is nothing." The uncle laughed and filled Meng Lang’s cup again, seemingly targeting him today.

Meng Lang glanced at his eager uncle and began to catch on.

So this was a cat-and-mouse game, intending to confuse me first with drinks, then hit me with this Versailles narrative, so I’d spill all the beans, right?

So you’re trying to pry information out of me!

I thought, why is Uncle so aggressive today? Your approach is twisted enough!

Sure enough, those who do business are all cunning folks!

Meng Lang realized the situation, but played it cool; after all, he was a mature man now.

"Bro! How did you make these potatoes? They’re so delicious, teach me will you?"

At that moment, Meng Qingqing, seeing that Mr. Meng temporarily distracted the uncle, quickly pulled Meng Lang to the side, putting on a show of humbly asking for cooking tips, and dutifully placed a piece of meat in his bowl.

Meng Lang glanced at Meng Qingqing and knew she was covering for him, and he smiled.

"What else can I do, just...when the potato isn’t looking, give it a cut," he remarked.

Meng Lang held his chopsticks, mimicking a stabbing motion.

"Pfft, cough cough cough..." Meng Qingqing immediately choked, struggling to recover.

"Bro! Can you stop with the bad jokes during meals?"

"You’re not really interested in learning anyway."

"You figured it out and you’re not even thanking me."

"Why should I thank you? They say ’raise a sister for a thousand days, use her once.’ All the pain I endured as a kid is now being repaid..." Meng Lang’s eyes were wistful.

"Fine then, since you’ve said so, I’ll depend on you to take care of me from now on."

Meng Qingqing quickly caught on to the essence, laughing shamelessly.

"Hey! But bro, did you notice that Uncle’s been a bit off today? Did you offend him?"

Meng Qingqing elbowed Meng Lang and whispered.

"Hehe! The old man’s interest is not in the wine, but in the scenery..." Meng Lang hinted meaningfully as he gestured outside.

"Could you stop speaking in riddles, seriously, don’t you realize that act makes you super annoying?"

"Uh... Is it really that annoying?"

Meng Lang remembered, Meng Qingqing wasn’t the first one to say that?

He sighed in resignation, "Alas! You don’t understand, wanting to say yet stopping, wanting to say yet stopping, and yet saying ’It’s cool, what a good autumn.’

So much to say, so hard to say, so many words...that cannot be said!"

"Here we go again!" Meng Qingqing went nuts.

"Hey! Little bro, did you get a new phone? That doesn’t look cheap."

On the other side, the uncle suddenly pointed to the showy phone Mr. Meng had deliberately put on a prominent spot on the table, asking curiously.

"Oh!" Mr. Meng modestly took a bite, then lazily said,

"It’s all thanks to this brat. I don’t know why he bought some Hermes models, just casually handed three phones to the three of us.

A bunch of messy features, good only for playing games really; otherwise, I think my old clunker is easier to use."

There! Mr. Meng wasn’t the type to take things lying down, he held a grudge!

The uncle was somewhat choked by the response but still puzzled. "Three of them? These phones must be expensive, right?"

"Indeed, I hear they cost around five or six thousand each, this kid went outside and started spending recklessly. I’ve spoken to him about it, but he just won’t listen. Really!"

Mr. Meng acted as if he was helpless and shook his head, but the pride in his tone could be smelled across the dining table.

"Oh!" The uncle gave Meng Lang a pondering look.

"Xiao Lang, I heard...you secured a 10 million investment and are planning to buy shares in your dad’s pig farm, is that true?"

Immediately, everyone at the table was stunned.

The old man was taken aback, then glanced at Meng Li.

So, this was why he had been brought here today!

"I say, big brother, where did you hear that news? It only happened yesterday, and you know about it today?" Mr. Meng exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh! I just overheard it last night."

How could there be any secrets in a village? Especially with such big news.

"What? From what you’re saying, this is really happening?" Meng Li said incredulously.

Mr. Meng looked toward Meng Lang.

"Ahem! Well, besides doing insurance, I also have a part-time job at a company, running errands for them.

The company’s boss is quite wealthy, and he wanted to set up an ecological farm around Wu City, so he asked me to scout for a suitable place.

I sent our village’s geographical location, photos, and conditions over, and he was really interested."

Meng Lang brought out the excuse he had already prepared.

"So that’s how it is..." The uncle’s eyes sparkled.

An investment of 10 million, even if merely for appearances, would be enough for his trading company to feast on.

"But how come I heard that when this investment came in, your dad would be the general manager?" Meng Li asked another critical question.

"Heh! The boss doesn’t like to manage things, but he has hired a professional management team; it’s not like my dad makes all the decisions."

"Oh! That makes more sense." Meng Li was relieved.

How could there be a boss who completely hands off control? It sounded far-fetched when I first heard it.

But even so, it looks like Mr. Meng’s family is set to prosper!

The smile on his face broadened even more.

"Little brother, as family, we should help each other out. I won’t speak for other things, but helping out with sourcing materials for my trading company should be easy, right?"

Mr. Meng could see Meng Li’s intentions by now.

However, he felt somewhat uneasy and looked towards Meng Lang again.

"Of course, as long as it’s reasonable, legal, and doesn’t harm the company’s interests, who we work with doesn’t really matter, right Dad?" Meng Lang said with a smile.

"Mm! That’s the idea."

Meng Li, hearing this, knew his trip hadn’t been in vain and immediately felt much better. He looked again at Meng Lang.

"Xiao Lang, when will you introduce that boss to your uncle?"

"Mm! I’ll ask him later, but he might not have time to come over."

Meng Lang casually brushed off the question and realizing his uncle was about to speak again, quickly refilled his drink.

"Uncle, I have to hit the road soon, so for the remaining matters, you and my dad can discuss them yourselves. I don’t really understand these things.

Come, this is to you, here’s to your imminent success!"

"Alright! If you’re drinking, one cup isn’t enough. Today is joyful, and it’s also a farewell drink, for everything to go smoothly, you must drink six more cups!" the uncle said with a laugh.

They were using small cups, so six cups weren’t too much.

Meng Lang laughed. "Alright then, six cups!"

He picked up the drink and downed six cups in succession before finally bidding farewell to everyone, confidently embarking on his journey back to Su City...

These six cups.

One for the hometown, one for the distant places.

One for tomorrow, one for the past.

One for living, one for death...
