Chapter 43: Changing Fate
Peng Xiaofei's father has money, few people know about this. In the entire security team, only Wang Zheng, who is closest to him, knows.
Of course, Ye Shaofeng has been playing with him since middle school, and his family situation is also clear.
However, whether it was Ye Shaofeng or Wang Zheng, they knew that Peng Xiaofei's family had money, but rarely mentioned anything about his family in front of him. As for some topics between him and his dad, they never even mentioned a word.
When being a security guard is a hard job, Peng Xiaofei, this rich young master, can leave his home and come to the security team as an ordinary security guard, and hide his identity very deeply, it's really a fresh thing.
This thing looks fresh on the surface, but if it's understood as running away from home, it's just an ordinary matter.
Why would Peng Xiaofei leave a wealthy and influential family? Is he out of his mind?
Anyone who leaves home is a person with a story, they don't want to mention it, and they will bury such a story deep in their heart.
This is not a movie scene where one pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but real, heart-wrenching pain.
The pain in the heart of a homeless person who has lost everything is beyond anyone's understanding.
But Ye Shaofeng can understand Peng Xiaofei, and Wang Zheng can also understand.
When Peng Xiaofei was willing to share his family affairs with these two people and share the burden, it was already destined that they would be brothers for a lifetime.
Between brothers, we can tease each other, make fun of each other, and mock each other, but the kind of bond that is shared between brothers, a bond that is unbreakable for life and death, remains unchanged forever.
There was no one else in the security team except for the three of them, so Wang Zheng spoke without restraint.
After saying this, Ye Shaofeng glanced at him and immediately looked at Peng Xiaofei again.
This inner wound is not easily shown to others, of course, and others cannot easily pry it open without restraint.
Wang Zheng's words were like stabbing another knife into Peng Xiaofei's wound, but Peng Xiaofei didn't have the slightest resentment, and was even accustomed to having salt rubbed into such wounds.
Pouring salt on a wound is indeed very painful, but salt can disinfect, promote blood circulation and remove stasis, allowing the wound to heal as soon as possible.
Wang Zheng said recklessly, but in his heart he was not sarcastic.
Peng Xiaofei glanced at Wang Zheng, meaning don't say any more.
Wang Zheng understood what he meant, but still wanted to continue speaking, and spoke very deeply. "What am I doing? Peng Kuo Xiao, you and your family's contradictions are going to make a fuss until when? What should be passed should be let go, don't forget that nothing is comparable to the thick blood of kinship."
What Wang Zheng said was reasonable. Even Lian Ye Shaofeng had never advised Peng Xiaofei like this, he was afraid of touching Peng Xiaofei's sore spot, but Wang Zheng was not afraid, because he and Peng Xiaofei were both away from home.
They are all drifters at the ends of the earth, having extremely similar experiences, yet making different choices.
Wang Zheng was a Beijinger, and his family used to be wealthy and influential. The wealth and influence referred to here are not the kind where having one or two million is considered wealthy and influential.
In the capital city, a wealthy and powerful family with great influence.
With tens of thousands of employees and three listed companies.
Moreover, he was quite famous in the capital city back then and together with three other young men were known as the "Four Young Masters of the Capital".
However, the sky has unpredictable winds and clouds. Four years ago, my family suffered a devastating disaster. My father was framed and slandered in his official capacity, sentenced to 20 years in prison for corruption, and was listed as one of the top ten corrupt officials in the country.
Her mother's company was also implicated in the political scandal and suffered from malicious competition. In the end, it went bankrupt. The once powerful family fell apart.
The world is cold and cruel. Former friends and relatives have abandoned them, no one helps them, and some even kick them when they're down, drawing a clear line between themselves and the victims.
Wang Zheng followed his mother to escape the pressure in Beijing and came to Luyang City, where they had an old house. From then on, he settled down here, and it was also closer to the prison where his father was detained, making it more convenient for him to visit his father.
Wang Zheng, one of the former four young masters of the capital city, had fallen to become a commoner. At first, he wanted to kill himself, but if he died, what would happen to his mother?
Although the family has declined, we cannot lose the heart of a nobleman. We must live on, and live strongly, for only by living on do we have hope.
Wang Zheng started a new life in Luoyang City with hatred, from a rich young master to a truly responsible man.
To make a living for his family, he had been a street vendor and a waiter. Two years ago, he came to the Zhonghai Group as a security guard, at which time he met Peng Xiaofei, with whom he shared a similar fate.
Although it was a match made in heaven, Peng Xiaofei's family did not go bankrupt and no one framed them. Moreover, his father's factory received support from the city and developed rapidly, making a fortune overnight.
His father, from a small workshop owner, is about to become a successful private entrepreneur.
Peng Xiaofei left home completely because of his contradictions with his father.
He is not alone, and has a younger brother who is three years his junior.
But his younger brother has been very competitive since childhood, and is able to strive and create. The more such children are, the more they are loved by their parents.
Peng Xiaofei has always been a carefree person who doesn't bother with big things and doesn't ask about small things, as if everything at home had nothing to do with him.
So his father was very dissatisfied with him and scolded him every other day.
The contradiction has long existed, and the trigger point is that he did not get into a university that his father was satisfied with, becoming the fuse for his father's outburst, which completely intensified the contradictions between father and son.
"You useless thing, you've disgraced the Peng family completely! You're just a good-for-nothing loser!"
Enduring his father's vicious words, Peng Xiaofei chose to remain silent. But while he was silent in language, his actions made a stunning move that night, without telling anyone, he left, leaving this home behind.
He didn't bring a single piece of clothing, he didn't bring a single penny, and he didn't say goodbye. He just left home like that, and once he left, he walked all the way to where he is now.
Eight years have passed and Peng Qiao has grown into a real man who dares to take action.
He didn't regret running away from home because he wanted to prove to that father that without relying on his family, he could still make a name for himself!
However, eight years have passed and Ye Shaofeng has returned, but he is still a small security guard, unable to achieve anything.
Life is like that, fate is like that. Hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success. However, sometimes, a noble person or an opportunity can change one's life.
Ye Shaofeng was such a noble person, his next words changed Peng Xiaofei's fate, changed Wang Zheng's fate, changed his own fate, the fate of an era...
