I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 240 Those two adulterers must have gone to bed together.

Zhang Feng has recently settled into a new company, an internet company with a young team and not much trouble.

Although there are fewer holidays and more overtime than at my previous company, it's more relaxed.

These past few days, Zhang Feng has been meeting up with his former colleagues Lao Yuan and Li Hong.

The last time they met was when the three of them resigned from their previous company together.

At this meeting, all three of them had new jobs.

Zhang Feng was waiting for the two at a barbecue stall. Just as the skewers were served, Lao Yuan and Li Hong arrived.

"Zhang Feng, you're here so early?"

The three greeted each other and sat down.

Zhang Feng glanced at Lao Yuan and noticed that some of his white hair had even thinned out. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Changing departments and changing your mood has even reduced your white hair, Lao Yuan!"

Old Yuan laughed heartily: "Of course I'm happy not having to serve those disgusting guys!"

Zhang Feng looked at Li Hong again: "Li Hong, you've become even more beautiful!"

"Your sweet talk has gotten better! You're not as quiet as you used to be!" Li Hong was very happy to be praised for looking prettier; this guy had actually noticed that she was wearing makeup.

Zhang Feng chuckled and pulled out a few bottles of wine from under the table: "Come on, try some of the new wines that are popular lately."

Old Yuan took the bottle and glanced at it: "Ye Xiaobai? Zui Honglou? Never heard of that!"

Li Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Feng, you're also a fan of Brother Xian?"

Zhang Feng nodded: "That's right, it was because of Brother Xian that I finally decided to quit!"

Li Hong was overjoyed: "Me too!"

Old Yuan: "..."

The two found common ground and immediately started talking: "Brother Xian's Ye Xiaobai is really fun. He has written a lot of copywriting on it, some are inspirational, some are cynical, and some are even written by Brother Xian himself. To be honest, Brother Xian's copywriting skills are definitely no worse than those of literature majors."

"Exactly! I love his line, 'There's always a breeze in the world to fill my 108,000 dreams,' it has the boldness and magnanimity of Li Bai."

"And that line, 'A young man should soar to the heavens, reaching for the stars, capturing the moon, and chasing the sunlight,' is absolutely brilliant!"

Old Yuan: "..."

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that he had neglected Lao Yuan, so he quickly opened the Drunken Red Pavilion wine bottle: "Of these two wines, the most expensive is this Drunken Red Pavilion. Brother Yuan, you should try this wine."

Old Yuan then accepted the wine with satisfaction.

Damn it, you invited me to this party just to be a third wheel?

Li Hong seemed to realize that something was wrong earlier, and quickly grabbed a bottle of Ye Xiaobai: "I'll drink this Ye Xiaobai. Ye Xiaobai has a lower alcohol content, so you guys can drink the Red Chamber."

Ye Xiaobai is 40 degrees and Zui Honglou is 52 degrees. For ladies, it's natural to prefer the lower alcohol content as it's less pungent.

The three poured themselves drinks and began to clink glasses, reminiscing about their experiences since they parted ways.

"This Drunken Red Mansion wine is really good. It doesn't burn or irritate the throat. It's smooth and sweet, and can be considered a good strong-aroma wine."

As they talked, Zhang Feng mentioned Ye Xian again: "Speaking of which, I really have to thank Brother Xian. If it weren't for his inspirational songs, I really don't know how I would have managed to persevere for the past two months!"

Li Hong's eyes also reddened: "We designers suffer even more. Although there is a shortage of talent everywhere, we have to do everything after we go there. They don't treat us as designers at all. It's too complicated now. One person having multiple jobs is just the most basic requirement."

"I'm so envious of Brother Xian! Do you think his company is hiring?"

Zhang Feng was drinking when he suddenly asked a question.

"Of course we'll hire them!"

Li Hong raised her wine glass, took a small sip, and said, "His company is expanding right now and is hiring quite a few people."

"How about we try sending out some resumes?"

Zhang Feng had only been out of school for a short time and couldn't stay idle.

Old Yuan frowned, wanting to offer some advice, because in his opinion, it would be better for young people to gain more experience in a company.

Li Hong chuckled and said, "I already submitted my resume yesterday."

"Huh? How is it? Any reply?"

Zhang Feng immediately perked up. He had heard that Ye Xian's team was very fun, and many of them dreamed of joining Ye Xian's team.

"I had an online interview at noon today, conducted by the team leader Sun Li. She felt my hand-drawn works were pretty good and invited me to Haizhou next week for a face-to-face interview with Brother Xian."

With a hint of pride, Li Hong revealed a fact that Zhang Feng envied.

"Does that mean you're going to work and live in Haizhou?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "Haizhou is so much better. The climate is great, the environment is great, and I can even work with my idol. It's much better than being mistreated here every day."

Zhang Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll also submit my resume to Qiuye Yanxuan tomorrow."

Old Yuan: "..."

As for relationships, at today's gathering, it doesn't really matter whether I'm there or not.

The three of them started eating skewers and drinking again.

Old Yuan felt that he was being a third wheel, so he made an excuse that he needed to help his child with homework and left early.

Zhang Feng and Li Hong, who had been chatting quite freely, suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

"Um, have you had too much to drink? Would you like some food?"

Zhang Feng hesitated slightly. He and Lao Yuan had just drunk a jin of Zui Hong Lou liquor, and Li Hong had drunk a small bottle of Ye Xiaobai liquor. There were still two small bottles of Ye Xiaobai liquor in front of them.

There were two small steamed buns left on the kebab.

Li Hong shook her head, feeling slightly tipsy. She stood up, picked up the two bottles of Ye Xiaobai on the table, and unscrewed the caps on both.

"These two bottles of wine, one is inscribed with 'If sobriety is a sin, then let love spread and fulfill every night.' The other is inscribed with 'Let us live freely and unrestrained in this mortal world, galloping on horseback and sharing the splendor of life, singing and drinking to express our joy, and seizing the prime of our youth with fervor.'"

These two songs are my two favorites. Let's go to the riverbank and finish the rest of our drinks, and get some fresh air!

Zhang Feng nodded, turned around to pay the bill, and then he and Li Hong each took a bottle of wine and walked towards the riverbank not far away.

Unlike at the dinner table earlier, the two spoke much less.

In fact, Zhang Feng had been chatting with Li Hong privately quite a bit lately, and their dinner appointment today was premeditated.

Little did anyone know, Li Hong secretly submitted her resume, preparing to go to Haizhou.

Before they knew it, the two had finished their bottles of Ye Xiaobai liquor. Li Hong casually tossed the empty bottle into the river, then turned to Zhang Feng and asked, "If I'm going to Haizhou, are you sure you want to come with me?"

Zhang Feng's heart suddenly pounded wildly, and he said without hesitation, "Wherever you go, I'll go too!"

Li Hong suddenly laughed, slightly tipsy: "My head is spinning, can you take me home?"

Zhang Feng's heart pounded even faster: "Okay!"

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight for Li Hong's residence.

……

Old Yuan, who had returned home early, was searching the house for something to eat.

Old Yuan's wife was puzzled: "Didn't you go out to have dinner with friends? What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough?"

Old Yuan was furious: "Stop talking! Damn it, you called me over just to be a third wheel! Those two scumbags are probably already making love right now!"

Old Yuan's wife immediately perked up: "Come, come, tell me what happened. This sounds like big news!"

Old Yuan: "..."

By the way, shouldn't you make me a bowl of noodles first?
