I am weak and friendly

Chapter 328 The Weakling [Wrong Path] gave you a thumbs up...

Tang Yiping was a little confused. What was going on?
Brother Bao should be back in his place!

After all, even Brother Bao's identity, status, and skills have been eaten by his own "carrion" and turned into his own prosthetic body. Now he should be Boss Bao, no, Boss Du.

Why is he calling himself Brother Ping now?

Tang Yiping looked up at Bao Ge's face and saw a pair of frightened eyes, like those of a startled puppy, on that seemingly confident and reserved face.

Tang Yiping: "???"

Is it really Brother Bao?
Isn't that a little puppy from somewhere?
Behind Bao Ge, Ban Ge stepped forward, grabbed Bao Ge, and said, "President Du, please come and have a look at our office. This is..."

He dragged Tang Yiping and Bao Ge into the office, and then slammed the door shut.

Just one millimeter away, and Lu Mingyuan, who was about to follow, would have been hit on the nose and given a bloody nose.

As soon as the door closed, Ban grabbed Tang Yiping, wanting to ask him something, but after glancing at Bao, he didn't ask and let go of his hand.

He had many questions, but he felt that he shouldn't ask them for the time being, and should give the opportunity to Brother Bao first, since Brother Bao was really panicked right now.

As soon as he stepped aside, Brother Bao grabbed Tang Yiping.

This rapid role reversal made Tang Yiping feel, for a fleeting moment, like a sought-after leading man in an idol drama. His mind was already automatically playing the voiceover: "Tell me, do you like him or me?"

Children make choices, adults, of course, make...

"Ping-ge!" Bao-ge interrupted Tang Yiping's completely inappropriate, runaway fantasy. "Help! What's wrong with me?! What did you do to me?"

What's it like to wake up in the morning and suddenly become some kind of domineering CEO?
This morning, Bao Ge experienced it firsthand.

Early in the morning, before he was even fully awake, he received a call from someone claiming to be his driver, who told him that the car was already waiting outside.

She even thoughtfully brought him breakfast and a new suit, asking if he wanted them brought in so he could change.

Then, a lot of inexplicable memories suddenly flooded into his head.

This sudden memory left his mind in a mess, and for a moment he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.

Such things usually only happen in time travel.

However, after checking several times, Bao Ge discovered that he had not traveled through time.

After the initial chaos, Bao forced himself to calm down, dragged Ban to get on the bus with him, and then went through all sorts of trials and tribulations before finally meeting Tang Yiping.

Anyway, Bao Ge feels that his day is really too difficult.

I'm just a nobody, a TL about to lose my job, why did I suddenly become some big shot?

Actually, Bao Ge's profession doesn't count as low-income, but there are still at least seven or eight insurmountable barriers between him and the truly high-income class. Now he really feels like a monkey wearing a crown, which is improper, and he walks with trepidation, afraid of making a mistake.

"Why do you think I know what to do?" Tang Yiping was bewildered. Was he really that obvious?

“When I woke up this morning, you were the only one missing. The one who's gone must be the murderer,” Ban said.

Tang Yiping: "???"

That's the insight of a legendary product manager, but...

Master! I really didn't kill your concubine!
Sigh, another channel misdirection!

Tang Yiping felt that his mind was deliberately avoiding the complicated situation at hand, but what else could he do? He glanced at Shen Hong, who was not far behind him, and Shen Hong nodded to Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping rubbed his temples and said, "Alright... now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

Tang Yiping briefly explained the situation, but this "briefness" took at least fifteen minutes to explain. "Wait, can I understand that you are... defending our timeline, while a villainous organization is constantly modifying our timeline, creating chaos, and absorbing its power to strengthen their own... Brother Bao was absorbed into their timeline and became our TL. In reality, Brother Bao is a genius investor?" While Brother Bao was still confused, Brother Ban had already sorted things out.

Tang Yiping thought about it and agreed that the explanation was acceptable.

Now it was Ban Ge and Bao Ge's turn to show a "???" expression.

No way, you actually agreed to something this outrageous?
But does Bao Ge's experience mean that this is actually true?
Is it really true?
If it's not explained this way, then how should it be explained?
“If you don’t believe me, this is the person in charge of this organization. You can ask him.” Tang Yiping pointed to Shen Hong behind him.

Shen Hong immediately adopted an authoritative and cold demeanor, endorsing Tang Yiping.

"You have an organization? What's it called?" Brother Ban asked, his eyes wide. At that moment, he felt a strange excitement as if he were stepping into a legend.

So, there really is such a legendary organization in our world?
"Abnormal Containment Bureau".

"Dragon Group".

Bao Ge and Ban Ge: "???"

Oh no, the credibility has decreased again.

The two quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"Dragon Group".

"Abnormal Containment Bureau".

Where's the teamwork? Old Shen! Teamwork!
"But... according to your explanation, I should be the investor, Mr. Du, right? Why am I still... the original Brother Bao?" Brother Bao said with a wry smile.

"I don't know about that..." Tang Yiping felt that, according to his theory, they should indeed have brought back the original Bao Ge, right? The information in the [Survival Guide for the Weak] also corroborated this.

Why is the result different from what I expected?
There must be something wrong somewhere, but I just don't know it yet.

"Brother Bao, do you really want to completely give up your current life and memories?" Tang Yiping asked Brother Bao. "Do you really not want to remember any of this at all?"

"I have no idea."

At that moment, Tang Yiping suddenly remembered a very philosophical saying, though he couldn't remember which philosopher had said it.

"The most important thing for people is not to admit their mistakes. No matter what mistakes you have made, you must find meaning in them and turn them into beautiful mistakes."

Oh, right, it was Master Tang who forgot Master Mu's birthday. He said it when he bought Master Mu's birthday cake a day in advance. In the end, Master Mu ate the birthday cake at midnight the day before her birthday and celebrated her birthday.

They claim that celebrating one's birthday in the very first second is what makes it meaningful.

Of course, the following year, Master Tang, having recovered from his grief, did not forget the correct date.

They also never mentioned the "celebration in the first second".

It's as if this never happened.

"So, this might be the best arrangement from heaven," Tang Yiping said.

Well, according to Master Tang's logic, all mistakes are the best arrangement from heaven.

I am grateful to have such carefree parents and such a philosophical father, which allows me to face this cruel world with composure.

Bao Ge lowered his head, remained silent, and pondered intently.

After a long while, he seemed to have finally figured it out and looked up at Tang Yiping.

"Then... what should I do now?"

Tang Yiping was stunned when he tried to reply.

A prompt flashed before his eyes:
—The weakling [Wrong Path] thinks you're absolutely right and gave you a thumbs up.
