677: Chapter 677 Ungrateful!

Abandoning Treatment!

The atmosphere suddenly chilled!

Faces rigid with frost!

Chu Yunxuan distinctly felt that Wu Jie’s entire demeanor had changed.

But then she thought, if it were her,

how would she feel if a good friend she had kindly helped and promoted turned out to betray her?

No one could be happy about it.

“That hurts, bro!”

Chu Yunxuan couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

Mainly because she felt this phrase was especially fitting for the situation.

But after saying it, she couldn’t help but let out a snicker.

Wu Jie was angry, and when he looked up and saw Chu Yunxuan laughing,

“I warn you not to smile in front of me when I’m angry!”

“When you smile, I end up smiling too, and that makes me look like I have no dignity, understand?”

Having said that, Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh as well.

However…

It was a laugh filled with self-mockery.

If you end up laughing through your tears, that’s still okay.

But it’s worse to start crying in the middle of a laugh…

Wu Jie laughed heartily for a long time.

In his mind, he kept recalling memories of his university classmates.

The brotherhood in school was certainly the most pure and beautiful.

Skipping classes together, playing games together, enjoying movies together…

And after graduation, entering society, things began to change.

Those with better family conditions had jobs lined up for them early on, while others had to find jobs and rent houses on their own.

And with time passing by, those with connections and capabilities became increasingly outstanding.

Those who were mediocre, from average families, without opportunities, remained ordinary or even struggled more than others.

Every day after graduation, the gap kept widening.

And so…

At those reunions a year after, three years, five years, you could clearly see the gap getting bigger and bigger.

Some started companies, did business, drove luxury cars, arrived at banquets decked out in brand-name fashion.

Some climbed the ladder to powerful positions, every move and word steeped in authority.

But there were also those, carrying the weight of meager salaries and heavy workloads, bent over by mortgages and baby formula expenses.

Jealous?

Envious?

Sycophantic?

Fed up?

All these emotions and mental states started to emerge.

People often don’t envy strangers, no matter how great their accomplishments are or how much money they’ve made.

It’s only the familiar faces they care about, how well or poorly they are doing.

As kids.

Our parents and elders would often lecture us about how obedient, how excellent in their studies, how well others’ children had done in school, how many awards and scholarships they had won…

and you?

As we grew up.

They then said, who has bought a house, a car, who has married a beautiful wife, who has wed a wealthy husband, who started a company and made a fortune, who has been promoted…

and you?

If you don’t have the right mindset, you’ll start comparing unconsciously.

Why is it that someone from the same school, who skipped the same classes for crappy online games, landed a good job?

Why, when we aren’t much different in looks or family background, is he not still single, able to find a good partner?

Why, when I stick to my principles without stealing or fawning over others, does that bootlicker get promoted and valued?

Why couldn’t I have been born into a wealthy family, with a silver spoon in my mouth, never having to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life?

…

Once thoughts become extreme, you start hating the rich, despising, distancing, becoming indifferent…

This is also why it often feels like not long after graduation, many classmates don’t keep in touch anymore.

Partly it’s because of the different social circles, but at the heart of it, it’s because people change.

Even if you’re still surrounded by bustle, with a group of so-called brothers and friends, still gaming and partying together, relations seem harmonious.

But try asking for money when you’re down on your luck?

What if you’re in a big trouble and need help?

What if those so-called brothers and friends come asking for a loan or request a favor?

Agree, and you put yourself in a difficult position.

Disagree, and you’re accused of lacking loyalty.

Only through major ups and downs can one really see who the true brothers and good friends are.

And now…

Wu Jie laughed at himself for a long time.

I wish you warmth in the cold winters, and may your spring be never harsh.

I hope there’s light when it’s dark, and an umbrella when it rains.

May you be respected in public, and may your life be happy and fulfilled.

Wu Jie had done his best for his brothers and friends, short of directly giving them money to spend.

Especially Deng Hua.

It was his gift of a war album to the old man for his ninetieth birthday that garnered appreciation.

Later, when Deng Hua’s mother and girlfriend were seriously injured in a car accident,

the hit-and-run driver left them with only private, costly treatments, draining their family wealth and leaving them deeply in debt without a cure in sight.

Grateful and looking to repay the favor, Wu Jie sent a box of money over after just a phone call from Deng Hua, truly a lifesaver in the time of need.

Simply saying no need to repay would have hurt his pride, so instead he promoted Deng Hua to general manager to run the company.

Even though the debt was deducted from his monthly salary, in truth?

It would have been paid off in half a year, that’s equivalent to an annual salary of two million, what more did he want?

Furthermore, when Wu Jie married Tang Xiao, the groomsmen and bridesmaids received hefty red envelopes.

Wu Jie asked himself if he had done right by his conscience.

But who could have expected…

“Jie, what do you plan to do?”

Chu Yunxuan put away her smile and asked solemnly.

She could see that Wu Jie was truly heartbroken.

Wu Jie smiled faintly, dropped the broken chopsticks, and lit a cigarette.

Curling smoke rose, his frown deepening.

After checking the system account records, sure enough, he found these two characters, filled with jealousy and hatred.

But they didn’t have many energy points, after all, both were jobless with only a little savings and real estate.

Kindness taken for weakness!

He sighed deeply and asked with a smile:

“What do you think I should do?”

Chu Yunxuan’s eyebrows drew together in a cold frown, and she ground her teeth:

“Of course you shouldn’t let them off lightly!

You’ve been so good to them, yet they’re so ungrateful!”

“With your ability, you could crush them like ants, beat them black and blue, even make them kneel and beg for mercy…”

Wu Jie smiled without saying a word, his gaze casual as he looked at Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan started to speak, then stopped.

“Since you know that I can easily make them wish they were dead, why should I even bother with them?”

Chu Yunxuan was taken aback, “But…”

Wu Jie shook his head.

“There’s no ‘but’!

I originally thought that by having them work as waiters in the restaurant, experiencing the hard labor and shaping their character to endure hardship, after some time, I’d arrange good jobs for them!”

“But now it seems they really can’t stand the humiliation and hardship, they hold a lot of prejudice against me, they want to make it big in business—let them be!”

“I, Wu Jie, always keep my word; I’ll consider this their last chance!

I won’t accuse them of plagiarism, nor will I suppress them.

Let them do as they please.

If they succeed, I won’t be envious; if they fail, don’t come to me for help!”

Chu Yunxuan gently bit her red lips.

After thinking it over, she nodded as well.

“That might be for the best.

After all, their plans are still in their infancy.

It’s not certain whether they can raise funds and start a business.”

“Even if they do start a business, taking the path of imitation and plagiarism without sufficient original content to attract fans and users will make it hard to attract advertisements.

It’s very difficult to keep the business going solely with deception and fraud to get investment.”

Wu Jie snorted coldly, “Whatever they do, I don’t care anymore, and I don’t want to.

Just hearing about it annoys me!”

“From now on, they can take their own narrow path, and I’ll take my fast track; we’ll never have anything to do with each other!”

Chu Yunxuan was surprised, then burst into laughter.

“Log bridge, fast track… Jie, your analogy is really apt!”

Wu Jie chuckled, “With Tianyuan and the Tang Family backing me up, and my CEO wife as my wise advisor, as well as all the secret support, am I not destined to travel on a fast track?”

Lucky for him, he was quick-witted, almost spilling about the system’s secret assistance.

However, Chu Yunxuan didn’t notice this slip.

“So, how should I reply to them?

Should I agree and infiltrate the enemy’s ranks, to be an inside spy?”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

“Didn’t you hear what I just said?

Don’t bring them up to me, it pisses me off to even think about them!”

Chu Yunxuan said “Oh,” lowered her head, blushing—a classic case of ‘chaos in caring’.

Of course, Wu Jie knew she meant well.

She was afraid that Deng Hua and the others would plagiarize the godly app software and succeed in business, causing Wu Jie economic damage.

So, she wanted to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks as an inside spy.

But little did she know…

Wu Jie didn’t care about that at all.

Even without the godly app software, he’d still have more money than he could ever spend and could create even more and better software.

The world’s standards are declining; people aren’t as sincere as before.

Now that he had seen through their true natures because of this, there was no need to pay them any more attention.

When strengths differ, so should horizons.

Fretting over the schemes of deceitful villains is just demeaning one’s own status—why bother?

Compared to them, Wu Jie was more concerned about Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate and Rosdelle’s Auxiliary Business Association, and the dastardly mysterious drugs they were concocting.

Chu Yunxuan kept her head down, silent for a while.

She stole a glance at the contemplative Wu Jie and muttered:

“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll head back first.

I’ll strive to report to Tongcheng in the next couple of days.”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, not uttering a word.

Chu Yunxuan left the office, exhaling deeply.

“I was doing so well following Jie around, why did those two have to stubbornly choose career suicide?”

“This is Tianyuan after all!

Even if Jie lets them off, would Tang Xiao, the Tianyuan Tang Family, or Tanglong Industrial Group?”

“Star Cloud Internet Technology is now a subsidiary of the group, yet they think of swindling to start their own business?

Isn’t that asking for punishment?”

Chu Yunxuan sighed and shook her head, glancing around.

The restaurant’s business was truly booming!

Not only was there not a single free seat, but there were also many customers sharing tables to eat together.

There were still one or two hours before the start of tonight’s first match, but many people were already enjoying their skewers.

“Such good business, it’s like having a money printing machine!”

“But being a waiter…

it really is exhausting!

Easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult the other way around!”

“For them, who were accustomed to being executives, wearing luxury brands and riding in Mercedes-Benz, to serve as waiters, it’s quite the mental drop!”

Seeing that the restaurant was too busy, Chu Yunxuan decided to help out as well.

As for those luxury items at home, there would be no harm in selling them some other day.

Wu Jie sat alone in the office quietly for a long time, people who value loyalty often need time to adjust after being hurt.

Choose to forget, look further ahead, and suddenly everything becomes clear.

After putting away the dishes and going downstairs, Wu Jie saw the diligent and busy Chu Yunxuan.

After all, she had sold houses here and been a sales director!

She was particularly familiar with many of the neighborhood residents who came to dine.

Articulate and persuasive, she truly had a knack for attracting customers.

She managed to make rustic home-cooked dishes seem like high-end gourmet food.

She had persuaded several tables of customers to order dishes and drinks worth thousands of yuan.

Wu Jie overheard a few words as he passed by, thinking that if Chu Yunxuan went into swindling, she could probably trick a lot of people into bankruptcy.

Such a smooth talker!

But…

Chu Yunxuan was showcasing her abilities, yet the kitchen was becoming incredibly busy, resulting in Wu Jie soon being called to help.

In the catering business, taste, service, and hygiene are key, but modern life makes people especially irritable.

If the food is served slowly, no matter how delicious it is, or how good the service and environment are, it can sour a customer’s mood.

Luckily, with Wu Jie’s almost cheat-like assistance in the kitchen, the efficiency was top-notch.

Not only was the food full of color, aroma, and flavor, but the speed of serving and delivering drinks was also very fast, satisfying the customers greatly.

And for Chu Yunxuan, seeing a billionaire cooking in the kitchen was an eye-opener and increased her admiration for him.

To experience hardship is to rise above others!

Sometimes, success in life is not just about opportunities and coincidences; it also depends on one’s own effort.

Meanwhile.

Deng Hua and his companion drove straight to Beilong County.

Guided by an acquaintance, they arrived at a casino deep in the mountain forest before the game started.

The frustration of being dismissed, the depression of being arranged to work as waiters, and the extreme desire to win money for starting a business, aiming for the pinnacle of life.

Convinced that the Colombia Team would surely defeat the Yincheng team, the two of them bet heavily.

However, those who are merciless and unfaithful are doomed, for not even the gods will let them off easily.

What waited for them was a fatal surprise…
