Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 478 The Desperate Captain (5K)

Zeng Wenjie didn't act recklessly; instead, he went straight back to school.

Today is Xu Chuan's birthday, and Lin Zhenshan, Wang Bo, and 626, his four close friends, have made a pact to give him a surprise.

Zeng Wenjie also assured that he would arrive on time.

Before leaving, Qin Yixuan sent him a message asking if he was still staying at the hotel that night.

Zeng Wenjie warned Xiao Qin not to be obsessed with men, as she was returning home tomorrow and should rest well today to avoid being late again and being criticized by her superiors.

He was the one who was causing all the trouble, but now he's lecturing people, leaving Qin Yixuan speechless and refusing to reply to his messages.

A little bit of arrogance is necessary now and then, otherwise it will seem too cheap.

Yan Xinyi also sent a message to Zeng Wenjie, and then Zeng Wenjie chatted with her for a while.

When Zeng Wenjie returned to Fengyuan, it was already late. He called Lin Zhenshan and asked, "Boss, I'm at the school. Where are you guys?"

Lin Zhenshan said, "I just went to the cake shop to pick up the cake. Wait for us at the dormitory entrance."

Zeng Wenjie went to lean against the gatehouse and chatted with Grandpa Qin, who was sitting inside.

Grandpa Qin was a very competent five-star general; no matter how late Zeng Wenjie came back, he could always get into the dormitory.

Not long after, Lin Zhenshan returned with a cake and said to Zeng Wenjie with a smile, "Xu Chuan, that silly boy, got hurt by a senior girl again. It just so happens to be his birthday, so I decided to celebrate for him!"

Zeng Wenjie asked, "How did he get hurt by that senior again? Did he bring someone to the martyrs' cemetery for a date again?"

Lin Zhenshan replied, "It's not that bad. I just got tricked and I've been feeling down lately."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Anyone who gets carried away by ambiguity has already lost. Brother Gou is still too young!"

Lin Zhenshan's lips twitched after hearing this, and he said, "What you said makes sense."

Zeng Wenjie sensed something was up and said, "Could it be that I touched a nerve with you and the KTV hostesses?"

Lin Zhenshan said coldly, "Whose words did you hear?"

Zeng Wenjie had obviously heard it from Hu Guohua. Last time, when he dealt a heavy blow to Xue Lu, he left early, while Lin Zhenshan and the others stayed until very late.

Carrying the cake up to the sixth floor, Wang Bo, Yang Huan, and the three brothers from 626 finally appeared.

They deliberately hid today, leaving Xu Chuan alone in the dormitory, all for this surprise.

Just as the lights went out, Lin Zhenshan lit the candles on the cake, then took out his keys, opened the door, and started singing "Happy Birthday" as he did so.

The dormitory was pitch black, but the candles from the cake instantly illuminated the room.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chuan on the bed suddenly shuddered and instantly pulled the blanket up completely.

The world-famous painting – "The Desperate Captain".

The group sang "Happy Birthday" as they approached Xu Chuan's bed. Xu Chuan, feeling awkward and uncomfortable, forced a smile and huddled under the covers with his hands tucked in.

"Happy birthday, old dog! Come down and blow on the cake!" Lin Zhenshan laughed.

"Brother, could you wait a minute? I feel... a little unwell. Let me lie down for two minutes," Xu Chuan said awkwardly.

As he spoke, he wriggled in the blankets, seemingly pulling up his pants. Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he grimaced for a while.

Zeng Wenjie suspected that he got stuck in the zipper.

"Alas, Lin Zhenshan bears full responsibility for this flight accident!" Zeng Wenjie sighed and announced in a clear and resonant voice.

Yang Huan burst into laughter and said, "Damn it, Brother Gou, your birthday celebration is so shabby, you just flew around and that's it?"

Wang Bo said, "Old Dog is probably thinking that he was tricked by his senior, so he's going to let her suffer in his mind and get revenge."

Xu Chuan blushed and said, "No, don't talk nonsense! I was just sleepy and wanted to go to bed."

As he spoke, he climbed off the bed.

Zeng Wenjie retorted, "Why is there a bird feather stuck in your zipper?"

Xu Chuan was startled and hurriedly looked down, only to find that he had been tricked.

Everyone burst into laughter. No wonder he's a tough guy who treats every day like day zero; he doesn't even want to miss his birthday.

"Haha, old dog, happy birthday! Come on, blow out the candles!" Lin Zhenshan waved his hand and placed the cake on the table.

When Zeng Wenjie thought of the title "The Desperate Captain," he couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He smiled, and everyone around him burst into laughter, except for Xu Chuan, who was extremely embarrassed.

Although he doesn't care much about other people's opinions, being caught on the spot must have been a bit embarrassing!
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Zhenshan asked, hooking his arm around Zeng Wenjie's neck with a smile.

"Hahahaha...Isn't it hilarious that the flight made an emergency landing? Hahaha, the desperate captain..." Zeng Wenjie laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Xu Chuan blew out the candles, grabbed a piece of cake, and stuffed it into Zeng Wenjie's mouth.

"You bastard, did you even wash your hands? Holy crap..." Zeng Wenjie hurriedly dodged, shoving Wang Bo forward, who then bumped into Xu Chuan's palm with a "splat".

Wang Bo was smeared all over his face, but because the candle had suddenly gone out and he wasn't used to the darkness, he exclaimed in surprise, "You...you fucking threw it in my face?!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and the four guys from 626 became the Four Laughing Heroes, unable to straighten their backs.

Xu Chuan said with a gloomy face, "Brother Bo, it's a cake!"

Wang Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the balcony to wash his face, cursing under his breath. He thought something had been smeared on his face, which scared him half to death.

"This is probably the most desperate birthday Dog Bro has ever had in his life, right?" Yang Huan couldn't help but tease.

"Get out of here! What do I have to despair about? I was just sleeping," Xu Chuan cursed.

Then he started cutting the cake, but the guys stared intently, refusing to take the piece he had just touched.

Zeng Wenjie wasn't hungry, so he only took a small piece. None of the others present liked cake either, so they just shared a little bit as a gesture.

Eight grown men, one small cake, and still half of it was left.

"Let's save it for breakfast tomorrow," Lin Zhenshan said with a yawn.

"Thank you, brother," Xu Chuan said gratefully.

He was still very touched. He thought that few people would know about his birthday, and since no one showed up today, he was quite disappointed and thought he would fly around to comfort himself.

As it turned out, everyone had prepared a surprise for him, and even Zeng Wenjie, who was usually so busy that he was rarely seen, came.

Zeng Wenjie looked at the half-cake and thought that if Xu Chuan hadn't just picked off a piece with his hand, he could have packed it up and taken it to share with Mu Qingyang.

That little foodie loves these desserts.

But I decided against it. Even though the other half was clean, it still felt unsettling.

Zeng Wenjie opened his cabinet, took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Xu Chuan, saying, "I don't have anything to give you, so here's a pack of Huazi cigarettes. Smoke more, and I'll visit you in the ICU later."

“Fine, I’ll smoke five packs a day!” Xu Chuan said.

Zeng Wenjie hasn't been in his dorm much lately, his smoking habit has decreased a lot, and he often has to attend public events, so that period was basically a blank period for him.

Aside from social engagements, I've probably only smoked three to five cigarettes a day lately.

That's how it is between close friends; they tease each other mercilessly from time to time, but the other person always responds without taking it to heart, and the relationship remains as good as before.

Everyone gave Xu Chuan some birthday gifts, mostly cigarettes and snacks, but friends don't care how expensive the gifts are.

The most precious thing in this world is nothing more than the loyalty of youth.

This sense of youthful loyalty mostly only exists during student days; it vanishes after graduating from university.

He calls me "bro" all the time, but he never pays back the money he owes.

Zeng Wenjie lay down on his bed. He was Hua Guo's good roommate, as was Lin Zhenshan.

Zeng Wenjie rarely came back. Every week or two, when the sun was shining, he would organize everyone to air out their quilts, and also take Zeng Wenjie's quilts to air out.

So, even though he hadn't been back to sleep for a while, the mattress and blankets were still dry and odorless. Waking up refreshed, Zeng Wenjie washed up and went to the playground.

He deliberately didn't send Mu Qingyang a message to see if she was slacking off.

As soon as she arrived at the playground, she saw Mu Qingyang practicing her punches and kicks in a white martial arts uniform. After joining the martial arts club, she found her organization.

Moreover, he has a pretty good relationship with Yao Wei, the president of Chongqing University's martial arts club, and they often exchange skills and go out together.

"Hey, the Grandmaster is practicing martial arts again!" Zeng Wenjie jumped up and shouted.

"Take this Buddha's Wrath Lotus!" Mu Qingyang immediately turned around and pressed a palm against his chest.

Zeng Wenjie reached out and lightly flicked her forehead, saying, "You childish brat!"

Mu Qingyang withdrew his hand, smiled, and asked, "What are you doing at school today?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "It's Xu Chuan's birthday. I came back last night. We didn't finish the cake. I was thinking of sharing some with you, but then I decided against it."

Mu Qingyang snorted and said, "Why should I let it go? I exercise every day, so eating cake is no problem for me!"

Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes. It was fine for everyone to joke about Xu Chuan playing the desperate captain last night, but it was absolutely something that couldn't be mentioned in front of other girls.

"It's okay, I've already eaten your portion for you, so I'll do a few more pull-ups and crunches today." Zeng Wenjie grabbed the horizontal bar and hung up, then found that he actually had some difficulty doing pull-ups.

I've been having a lot of social engagements lately and have been indulging myself quite a bit, which has probably led to a loss of strength and muscle mass.

"Was yesterday's news interesting?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

"It's great!" Mu Qingyang smiled immediately. "I've only watched it seven or eight times."

After yesterday's news broadcast, the entire Fengyuan was shocked. No one expected that Zeng Wenjie would face such a big storm, and after successfully handling it, he even appeared on Focus Interview!
This is really a bit scary...

Lin Zhenshan and the others had already agreed not to mention this matter, and if asked, they would say they hadn't seen the news, so as not to provoke him by showing off.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'm going to apply for the registration of a foundation. I'll donate 20 million yuan initially."

Mu Qingyang immediately felt embarrassed and said, "I don't have that much money right now."

Zeng Wenjie said, "You should keep it for yourself. I'll pay for it."

Mu Qingyang said, "I'll just give you a token amount. If Mom knew I was using her money to do something so meaningful, she would be very happy."

Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but don't go overboard."

Mu Qingyang said, "I'll just donate a small teaching building myself. You're the big boss, so you can contribute more."

She used to be thinking of keeping Zeng Wenjie as a mistress, but now her savings aren't enough to compare with his.

It seems that the plan to keep a sugar daddy is now a distant dream and has fallen through.

“I bought a villa in Yunhu, and I’ll be able to move in soon,” Zeng Wenjie suddenly said.

"Hmm? So you're going to spend the New Year in Fengzhou this year?" Mu Qingyang asked softly.

“Grandpa and Grandma definitely won’t be happy about it. Let’s go back to our hometown for the New Year. Besides, it’s more lively there. There’s not much of an atmosphere in the city,” Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

The real fun of Chinese New Year is going to the countryside. Every household slaughters a pig for the New Year, and people take turns hosting feasts, with so many banquets that you can't possibly eat them all.

Moreover, having many relatives makes it quite fun to visit them in the streets and alleys and get free meals and drinks.

Zeng Wenjie expects that many people will come to their home to wish them a Happy New Year this year, including some relatives with whom they have a relatively distant relationship.

His social status has risen so much; he's become incredibly famous this year.

Recently, he has received many calls from relatives asking him to find a job, but he has refused them all.

He's not like Director Qi, who has to arrange police dog jobs even for dogs back home. He's still on the rise and can't afford any mishaps. If he uses connections to get relatives working somewhere and they don't do well, it's like slapping him in the face.

Moreover, once this door is opened, it can't be stopped.

Zeng Wenjie would rather be accused of being heartless and cold-blooded than have his important plans ruined because of others.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyang was immediately delighted and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes! It's much more interesting to celebrate the New Year and other holidays back home. I couldn't even go back for the May Day holiday, so I can only wait until the summer vacation."

“It’s perfect timing to go back for summer vacation. You can go swimming in the Baishui River. Do you know how?” Zeng Wenjie asked.

“I used to go swimming at the beach a lot when I was a kid, so I definitely know how!” Mu Qingyang said proudly. “Don’t underestimate me.”

Mu Qingyang's hometown was originally a coastal city. His family business was located in the town, but it was only after the business went bankrupt for some reason that they moved to Jiangnan Province.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay, I'll take you to our villa in a few days so you can stay there and warm up."

Mu Qingyang asked cautiously, "Can I continue living at the school?"

Zeng Wenjie chuckled at her guilty look and patted her head, saying, "Where you want to live is your freedom, I won't interfere. Hmm, I'll give you a set of access control and keys later."

Mu Qingyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief; she was afraid that Zeng Wenjie would make her move out.

Actually, she quite liked living at school. There were many people and friends in the dormitory, which she really enjoyed because she was tired of being alone.

“When it comes to matters of personal will, you should make your own decisions and not worry too much about what others think or think,” Zeng Wenjie comforted him. “Even if it’s me.”

"Besides, I didn't force you to move there, did I?"

"You can stay wherever you want."

Mu Qingyang nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, I understand!"

She could feel the respect and care that Zeng Wenjie showed her.

Zeng Wenjie said, "When you come to stay at the villa, just remember to give me a call."

Mu Qingyang said, "Okay."

The detail-obsessed person is taking preventative measures again.

After their morning exercise, the two of them still chose to have breakfast at the second canteen.

Of all the canteens, the second canteen has the best food, and the second floor of the second canteen is the faculty and staff canteen.

Normally, students are not allowed to eat in the faculty and staff canteen, but Zeng Wenjie had a card issued by the university president, so he could eat there for free.

The entire "Hero Kill" development team also ate for free at Fengyuan, since Zeng Wenjie kept half of the game's profits at Fengyuan.

Game Science has basically moved to a new office location, not far from the Fengzhou Business Alliance headquarters, only about 300 meters away, which is very convenient for Zeng Wenjie.

Marlenia is not considering moving for the time being, and the team that is short of snacks is also moving in.

Snacks are in a panic, after all, it's a brand that originated from Fengyuan, and Zeng Wenjie definitely wants to keep it here, so that both he and the school can benefit from it.

Anyway, there's still plenty of empty space in the startup base, more than enough, but Game Science definitely can't fit in, since they've added a lot of new departments and recruited a lot more talent.

Currently, Game Science has 300 employees, and with the expansion of the WG game platform and the initiation of more game projects, the number of people recruited will continue to increase.

Jiangnan Province has sent Zeng Wenjie an invitation, wanting him to move his game company to Hangzhou, where many major internet companies are located, and there are many related benefits, making it a good place for him to develop.

But Zeng Wenjie didn't want to do that for the time being; otherwise, Zhuang Aimin would definitely come and deal with him with a dark expression.

Even if we really have to relocate to Jiangnan Province to facilitate future development, it will have to wait until Zhuang Aimin leaves Chongshan.

After having breakfast with Mu Qingyang, Zeng Wenjie threw himself into his work, starting with matters such as opening branches of "Snack Panic" in various provincial capitals and the financial reports of each store.

Regarding the foundation matter, materials have also been submitted and the process has begun.

The government certainly supports doing good deeds.

However, Zeng Wenjie's foundation is a bit special. It is clear that he does not want others to get involved. Some shady people feel dissatisfied because they cannot get any benefits from it, but with Zhuang Aimin, the big boss, at the top, no one dares to deliberately make things difficult for him.

Last time, Cai Youcheng tried to smear Zeng Wenjie but ran into a brick wall and was dismissed and sent to a low-level government office to live a life of idleness.

With this precedent as a warning, Zeng Wenjie was spared a lot of trouble.

Not long after, the Zeng Wenjie Foundation was officially established, with Mu Qingyang serving as the chairman of the foundation. The foundation made special donations to the education cause in several impoverished counties and townships in Chongshan Province, with a total amount of about 22 million yuan.
