Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 160 Slapping one's forehead

When Ning Bishu left the hospital, Shanghai was already brightly lit. This time, he brought back a good seven or eight kilograms of traditional Chinese medicine, packed into three large plastic bags. He figured it wouldn't even pass security on the high-speed train unless he opened and drank a sip from every single packet.

Ning Bishu was quite helpless. He called Xiao Taotao again to say that he couldn't go today.

The little girl was quite angry, blaming Ning Bishu for standing her up again. Clearly, she was gradually developing an expectation and a slight infatuation with Ning Bishu's habit of spending several nights with her every few days.

"Sigh, this is really unbearable."

Ning Bishu first took Chen Tingting back to her workplace, and waited for her downstairs for a while, complaining to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu: "Damn it, I've only been enjoying this good life for a few days, am I really so incapable of enjoying happiness?"

Zhang Long said, "Boss, generally speaking, this kind of thing is like someone falling into the sea and drifting for more than ten days before being rescued onto a ship. An experienced captain wouldn't let someone eat too much at once. Otherwise, they would be stuffed to death."

You're the same, aren't you? After holding back for decades, suddenly it's like a dragon soaring to the heavens, a fish leaping over the dragon gate—it's like just boarding a ship. Your mind is ready, but your body isn't. Suddenly binge eating and drinking definitely carries risks.

Ning Bishu nodded slightly, "What you say makes sense, my dear minister. Here's a red envelope for you."

Zhang Long made some money simply by picking up his phone.

Zhang Long excitedly picked it up and took a look, but his smile froze instantly.

"Five dollars?" He blinked.

Ning Bishu said, "You think it's too little? If you think it's too little, give it back to me."

Zhang Long quickly clicked to receive the payment.

Ning Bishu said calmly, "Treacherous and favored officials can be rewarded, but not too much. Otherwise, everyone will be thinking about flattery every day, and then how will they get to do their real work?"

"That's right! The boss is right!" Zhao Hu said seriously. "Boss, I want five yuan too!"

"Okay, here's ten yuan." Ning Bishu immediately sent ten yuan to Zhao Hu.

Zhang Long protested, shouting, "No, boss, why should he take ten yuan?"

Ning Bishu said, "Ahu is upright and honest, just like me."

"Damn, I want ten bucks too! I'll be completely honest and straightforward!"

"Brother Long, are you practicing begging here? What happened to your get-rich-quick dreams?"

"..."

A short while later, Chen Tingting came downstairs with her bag.

Zhang Long, looking dejected, escorted Chen Tingting back to her apartment building. Ning Bishu then transferred 1,000 yuan to the two of them, telling them to find a hotel and come back to pick him up the next day. He then swaggered off to Chen Tingting's apartment.

Stepping into Chen Tingting's home, the house was a little messy.

It's nothing compared to how neat and tidy Mu Shanming's house is.

Ning Bishu showed no consideration for Chen Tingting whatsoever, his attitude was casual, even somewhat rude. Once inside her house, he wandered around aimlessly, and Chen Tingting didn't dare utter a single harsh word, only stammering, "Honey, what would you like to eat?"

Ning Bishu turned to look at her, walked forward, hugged her face, and gave her a deep kiss.

What do you mean by restraining yourself? Restrain your ass!
What do you mean I shouldn't touch it three months ago? I'm going to touch it anyway!
Ning Bishu was simply using Chen Tingting as a tool, working on her for over half an hour. Then he ordered takeout, ate, drank some traditional Chinese medicine, and continued working on her. It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that he finally got tired and fell asleep.

Chen Tingting and the others only got out of bed quietly after hearing Ning Bishu start snoring, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As the warm water washed over her body, she looked at the handprints Ning Bishu had left on her skin in the mirror, and thinking about his rough actions just now, her eyes couldn't help but redden slightly. She covered her mouth, feeling extremely wronged and sad, but dared not cry out loud.

She took a long time to wash before she finally came out of the bathroom.

She didn't dare blow-dry her hair, afraid of waking Ning Bishu.

So he simply wiped himself clean, then returned to Ning Bishu's side and lay down.

Ning Bishu hugged her in a daze, his face turned towards her, his breath smelling bad.

Chen Tingting frowned, but didn't move.

After a night like this, around 8 a.m. the next morning, Ning Bishu stretched and sat up in bed.

Chen Tingting was no longer by the bedside.

He threw back the covers and got out of bed, walking outside the bedroom.

The bedroom was empty. Chen Tingting had left him breakfast and a note: "Honey, I can't cook. I bought breakfast downstairs; this shop is cleaner. I'm going to work now. I'll be back with you tonight. Love you." Her handwriting was delicate; it was clear she had practiced it as a child.

Ning Bishu stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly felt like he was acting like a beast.

but……

Don't be soft-hearted!

A woman as ruthless as Chen Tingting will definitely take advantage of you if you give her a little too much of a hard time. I already have two women in my family who are so ungrateful; if another one comes along, how am I supposed to live?
She only has herself to blame for lowering her own value.

If she were to remain chaste like Mu Shanming, Ning Bishu would dare say he'd give his life for Chen Tingting, given her seductive nature.

But unfortunately...

Nothing is nothing.

Ning Bishu heated up the breakfast Chen Tingting had bought, ate a few bites casually, and then immediately summoned Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

At 10 a.m., we headed straight for Jinling.

On the way, Ning Bishu sent Chen Tingting a message: "If you're going to quit your job, do it now and rest well at home. I'll send you 30,000 yuan every month from now on. If you want to buy a house, we'll talk about it after the baby is born. I'm leaving now."

On the other end, Chen Tingting received Ning Bishu's message. She was stunned in the conference room for a while before her eyes reddened slightly, and she swallowed her tears, suppressing her grievances.

A few hours later, Ning Bishu finally arrived in Jinling.

Upon arriving at the location, he immediately found a gym near Xiao Taotao's school.

Around 2 PM on Tuesday, there wasn't a soul in the gym.

Ning Bishu immediately pulled Zhang Long and Zhao Hu along and got three monthly passes.

Zhang Long was surprised and asked, "Boss, do we have to practice too?"

“Otherwise what? What’s the point of me suffering alone?” Ning Bishu walked up to a treadmill.

The gym owner knew a big fish had arrived as soon as he saw the watch on Ning Bishu's wrist. He stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you looking to lose weight or tone up? We have professional coaches at our gym. With professional guidance, the results will be even better."

"No need." Ning Bishu still retained most of the habits of a normal loser. Faced with this kind of sales pitch that sounded like nonsense, he instinctively refused outright. "I'll just run around casually, I don't need a coach."

The boss, naturally, wasn't so easily defeated and persisted, saying, "Our coaching courses can be tried for free."

Ning Bishu laughed and said, "If the effect isn't good, can I get a refund?"

"You can get your money back!" the shopkeeper said without batting an eye. "Sir, would you like to try it?"

"Try it my ass!" Ning Bishu laughed. "The money's already in your pocket. Whether you return it or not is up to you. I might just reach into your pocket and snatch it back."

"Sir, we are trustworthy. If the results are not good, we will definitely offer a refund. If you don't want to continue the course halfway through, we will definitely refund you 100% of the unfinished portion."

"You're just using a combination of coaxing and deception."

Ning Bishu laughed and directly exposed her, "What a useless class! I'd huff and puff following you for half a day, and all I'd lose is a few pounds. I could just do a few more kicks here, spend a little more time each day, and I'd lose the same few pounds, wouldn't I?"
I've already bought a monthly pass; I just want to keep myself motivated. Besides, I don't need anyone to practice with; I even brought two employees with me. Why would I waste my money giving it away to you for nothing?

Seeing that Ning Bishu was unyielding and that Zhao Hu was a force to be reckoned with, the boss could only force a smile and say, "Then let me know when you need anything. Our coach is really good."

Ning Bishu nodded slightly.

The shop owner, having made a fool of himself, finally turned and left.

With his back to Ning Bishu, he opened his mouth and hurled some very offensive insults.

After he left, Zhang Long started using the treadmill next to Ning Bishu and said to Ning Bishu, "These gyms are doing so badly these days, how come so many people are still opening them?"

"It's just like a hair salon."

Zhao Hu walked to Ning Bishu's other side and casually said, "They trick people into topping up their accounts when they open for business, then go bankrupt in a few days and run away with the money. They say they can refund you when you top up your account, but by the time you really want a refund, they've already disappeared without a trace."

As Ning Bishu listened to the two talking, he subconsciously blurted out, "If this thing could be scaled up, there would actually be some potential. As long as... Eh? Eh?!" He suddenly exclaimed twice in surprise, as if possessed by a ghost, before abruptly stopping.

After a few seconds of silence with his head down, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Wow! I can give this a try!"
