Chapter 39: Slaughtering Pigs

  When Li Sheng found out that Chen Ergou had resigned, he loudly declared that he wanted to follow Chen Ergou into the underworld and couldn't wait to take a watermelon knife with him and a group of younger brothers to go and slash those rabbits in school who looked down on them until they became vegetables. As a result, he was dragged back to the second floor by his boss's wife and locked up. Li Wei didn't say a word when Chen Ergou was tutoring her, not until Chen Ergou got up and left did she say "ungrateful". Chen Ergou wasn't bothered, how could he expect such a big child to understand the hardships and difficulties of life?

  The next day, Chen Ergou sent Li Sheng to school for the last time. Along the way, this little kid kept asking him to be his loyal younger brother, but Chen Ergou was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense and directly gave Li Sheng a few walnuts to shut him up completely. After sending Li Sheng off, he went to a nearby bookstore called Boku Book City, which had only one floor. He browsed through many law and economics books, and unexpectedly ran into Li Sheng's homeroom teacher in the English reference section.

  Wang Hu Zong whispered in his ear, saying that women of this age are the most charming, and their demeanor on the bed is also the most captivating. Chen Er Gou didn't think deeply about it, nor did he have that kind of imagination. He had just lost his virginity and was somewhat familiar with a woman's physical structure. When looking at women again, his gaze and angle were completely different. He only glanced lightly at her face, but Guan Shi Jing, a well-behaved young lady from a respectable family, couldn't withstand Chen Er Gou's flirtatious gaze. After symbolically nodding in greeting, she prepared to leave the bookstore.

  "Li Sheng is actually a very smart kid, he just hasn't found a teacher to admire yet. If the school had such a gardener, I wouldn't dare say he'd be first in the whole grade, or even first in class, it's really easy." Chen Ergou said with a serious expression, collecting his reckless gaze.

  "Every teacher is doing their best to educate students." Guan Shijing frowned, she was very dissatisfied with the implied meaning in Chen Ergou's words. In her opinion, teachers are also human beings, and what she dislikes most is that some people, out of a rebellious psychology, vilify this profession, nor does she like others deliberately deifying this profession.

  Chen Ergou finally shifted his attention back to her face, and he had an instinctive admiration for people who wore glasses, especially refined ones like Guan Shijing. He thought they looked cultured, at least on the surface, like someone with a good upbringing and education. He didn't try to explain or argue with her, letting her turn around and leave, leaving him with a glimpse of her slender figure. Her professional attire, including a short skirt and suit, tightly wrapped around her buttocks, revealing every curve. Chen Ergou smiled to himself, thinking that when he became successful, he would have to try his luck with this kind of woman who looked sacred and untouchable, to see if she was indeed two-faced as Wang Huzi had said.

  If the excellent teacher Gao Shi Jing from afar knew this guy's inner thoughts, he might just get angry and give him a high-heeled shoe, followed by a beautifully postured kick.

  At night, Chen Ergou didn't make it to the SD bar because at dusk, a beautiful and mature woman named Liu Qingfu came to A Mei restaurant in her car, saying she wanted to invite him to dinner. Chen Ergou couldn't refuse, and he also wanted to try something new for free. It seemed that he hadn't had a meal of mountain delicacies and seafood since coming to Shanghai half a year ago. This fat man's generosity shouldn't be too stingy, otherwise it would be unworthy of his flesh. Wang Huren quietly asked Chen Ergou to bring along Wang Jiefang, and Chen Ergou, who didn't understand the situation, still tacitly agreed without objection. He told the fat man that Wang Jiefang was a relative who had just arrived in Shanghai and had nowhere to settle down. The fat man, who squinted his eyes to observe Wang Jiefang, was poked by the mature woman and said generously, "Let's have dinner together, don't be shy." He asked them to go to the second floor of the SD bar to help with the table tennis room, and thus Wang Jiefang's employment problem was settled in a few words. Regarding this, Wang Jiefang still maintained his calm and indifferent expression. In the end, it was Wang Huren who pulled him along to bow down to Liu Qingfu, with a humble and grateful attitude.

  Pretty woman Yanzi didn't sit in the front row, but instead sat in the back row between Chen Ergou and Wang Jiefang. Driver Liu Pangzi smiled but said nothing.

  Wang Jiefang sat up straight, his hands placed innocently on his knees, his head slightly tilted as he gazed out the window. His originally handsome face was marred by a stiff expression that easily bored women. Yanzi only glanced at him a few times before focusing her attention on Chen Ergou. The strong scent of perfume wafted over, making it hard for Chen Ergou to breathe. This fragrance was really too overpowering, but it gave Chen Ergou an eyeful.

  Fat Liu Qingfu smiled and said: "Go to Shanghai Bund 3rd, a restaurant called Huangpu Club."

  "Could it be that Western food is what they call it? I don't even know how to use a knife and fork, if I go with Liu, he'll definitely look down on me and lose face because of me."

  "Ha ha, don't worry about it being a traditional Western restaurant, this place is very Chinese-ized. You can just use chopsticks to eat, and the view is pretty good anyway. This restaurant was ranked as one of the most expensive by Forbes, and the prices are indeed not cheap. If I wasn't treating you, I wouldn't normally go there. But don't worry about ordering, if you can manage to bankrupt me with just one meal, that's impressive."

  Here is the translation:

  In fact, after Chen Ergou sat down at Huangpu Club in a grand manner, he didn't have any intention of saving money for Liu Wanzi. He took the menu from the waiter with a slightly surprised expression and ordered the most expensive dishes. Snow fungus silver ear stewed swallow's nest? What? This thing is also graded? Of course, it's the best. Abalone? Cod fish? Goose liver? All were ordered. Chen Ergou didn't have any awareness of being a guest at all. With a wave of his hand, he flipped through the menu so quickly that the waiter couldn't keep up. Fortunately, Liu Wanzi had already prepared himself for a big expense, and his smiling face remained radiant. Huangpu Club was great, but the space was a bit small, and the seats were close together. Maybe if someone at the next table farted, they could hear it. Since he dared to sit down with a thud, Liu Wanzi was also a person who had made a name for himself, and he wasn't afraid of being slaughtered by Chen Ergou like a fat pig.

  Chen Ergou ordered a bunch of things that he had never seen or heard of in his life, and even asked the waiter with a disdainful expression to explain some unfamiliar words. In the end, Liu Wanzi only ordered a dish called "Haiwei Yangrou Shaomai", while Chen Ergou ordered a bottle of wine from an unknown winery. Only then did Chen Ergou have time to slowly appreciate the luxurious interior decoration of the restaurant. The crystal chandelier at the entrance and the golden dragon plate on the wall made this country bumpkin feel a sense of grandeur, and he couldn't stop marveling.

  Meanwhile, Wang Jiefang, who was as unnoticeable as a passerby, gazed out the window at the scenery of the Bund, making Chen Ergou exclaim that the security guard from Tongchen Yipin Villa was really different. This calm and composed demeanor was not inferior to Liu Wanzi's.

  Liu Pangzi seems to be quite satisfied with Wang Jiefang, this mute man. With such an employee, the boss is naturally happy, at least that one or two thousand yuan per month was not spent in vain.

  Chen Ergou looked around and muttered: "Only a fool would spend his own money to eat here."

  Suddenly, he felt dizzy and thought of Zhang Xiangxue's careless words. "You have 10 million yuan but don't know how to spend it." Chen Erdou repeatedly savored these words, and with a sour tone muttered: "If a villager from Zhangjiashan Village had 10 million yuan, they would first give birth to a litter of puppies, then build the most beautiful house in the village, and that's it. This is our tragic fate."

  Chen Ergou originally tried to turn his sorrow into a solution by ordering food, but he didn't expect that the dishes he ordered would not only be served slowly, but also belonged to the kind with extremely small portions on huge plates. If it weren't for Liu Pangzi and Yanzi holding Chen Ergou back, they would have gone to complain about this long ago. As a rural bumpkin who grew up eating whatever was available, he didn't care about the color, smell or taste of the food, all that mattered was being full and having enough to eat.

  Chen Ergou found out that the bottle of wine cost several thousand yuan, so he gulped it down fiercely, afraid to leave a single drop behind. He had to get up and go to the bathroom halfway through, but when he saw the luxurious decorations, he couldn't urinate. The toilet was too clean and too extravagant, and Chen Ergou cursed angrily after holding it in for half a day: "Damn it, is this a latrine or a hotel? Who knows what kind of fancy stuff they're trying to pull!"

  Next to him, a young man who was still quite vigorous after urinating glanced at Chen Ergou, his mouth curled up with an enchanting arc, and his originally plain face suddenly had a bad meaning that made women infatuated. He pulled the zipper and said, "Brother, think of this as the beautiful face of some little girl you've always wanted to mess with, and then you'll be able to pee, guaranteed to work."

  Chen Ergou finally urinated, as for who that girl was, no one knew. He looked at the young man washing his hands with hand sanitizer, dressed in a bright and tidy outfit, but not showy, not dazzling, very understated, making Chen Ergou, a country bumpkin, feel something indescribable, this thing called connotation. "Brother, your method is brilliant."

  The young man smiled, shook off the water droplets on his hand and said: "A person's courage is as big as the land's yield. You see, this is the ultimate imagination of the older generation. Brother, this place isn't even anything special. Shanghai has countless interesting places and girls. Once you have money in your pocket, you'll experience it all. If you don't think I'm showing off, I'll give you a sentence: In Shanghai, nothing is impossible. Zhou Zhengyi, that son of a bitch, was still selling wontons over 20 years ago. As long as you dare to think, who knows when good luck will come."

  Chen Ergou imitated him by washing his hands, and laughed: "What you said sounds pleasant to the ear, but it doesn't seem like something someone wearing your clothes would say."

  The young man seemed to be in no hurry to leave and curiously asked: "Brother, looking at what you're wearing, you don't seem like someone who comes here to spend money either?"

  Chen Ergou adjusted his hairstyle in front of the mirror and said, "If someone wants to be a pig and invites me to dinner, I'd be doing him a disservice if I didn't kill him."
