Chapter 251
She was the one delivering this invitation to Boss Zhang, so naturally, she would get a share in the venue-wrecking fun.
A company-funded outing, with Boss Zhang footing the bill.
Double the joy!
Her task complete, the girl cast a frightened glance at the visitor who was still eating people.
“I’ll be going, then. Make sure Boss Zhang gets the invitation!”
“Don’t worry!”
Qingqing patted her utterly flat chest and gave her word.
Of this she was certain: other things might not interest Boss Zhang.
But wrecking someone else’s venue?
Give that beast a chance, and he would never pass up such a treat!
Qingqing knew Zhang Bei fairly well.
At this time of day, he would definitely have finished lunch.
So she skipped the Cafeteria altogether and headed straight to the area near Morgue No. 2.
A reclining chair, a folding table, a teapot, and a teacup came into view.
All four were neatly arranged.
As for Zhang Bei, he was leaning back comfortably in the chair, letting his lunch settle.
“Your invitation to wreck the place is here. Check when it is.”
“Huh?”
Thoroughly puzzled, Zhang Bei took the invitation from Qingqing.
He opened it, took one look, and burst out laughing.
He had only just gotten some free time, and already a treat like this had come knocking.
Full of delight, Boss Zhang began choosing the participants for this friendly exchange.
He wasn’t planning to bring many people, so places on the company-funded outing were limited.
First, that kid Li Yang absolutely had to come.
For all his honest looks, his heart was even blacker than the doctor’s.
With that kid along, there was sure to be no trouble.
Add You Bai to the list. The girl might seem perfectly amiable.
In reality, she was almost as devious as Li Yang.
Finally, bring Qingqing as their mascot. Four people would be more than enough for a “visit”!
He looked at the Little Dark Girl standing beside him. “It’s the day after tomorrow. Come straight to the amusement park, and we’ll meet here.”
“Okay!”
Qingqing agreed with a broad smile.
Ever since Boss Zhang’s amusement park had opened, unless she needed to shoot a video, she barely went to any other parks anymore.
No matter how beautifully decorated they were, how could they be as fun as the things she got to experience here?
Whether it was making friends on the Hot Air Balloon or tricking her buddies onto the Roller Coaster, where else could she find such extraordinary joy?
Rubbing his chin, Zhang Bei put away the invitation and headed for the Cafeteria.
“Li Yang, You Bai, you’re coming on a business trip with me the day after tomorrow!”
The people chatting there immediately fell silent.
Li Yang eyed his boss suspiciously.
“An Amusement Park needs business trips?”
You Bai sighed. “Boss, whose place are we wrecking this time?”
Li Yang paused. “Like last time?”
Zhang Bei turned and rapped him on the head. “What do you mean, wrecking their place? It’s a friendly exchange!”
“She said it! Why are you hitting me?”
Savoring the feel of that last knock, Zhang Bei casually gave him another.
“She’s too far away. Can’t reach.”
With the very same look in his eyes as the doctor, Li Yang silently sat down.
Heartless boss. Beast. You’re not even human!
Having explained the arrangements, Zhang Bei returned to his reclining chair.
A loafer ought to act like a loafer.
He was the boss. He paid his employees. Wasn’t he allowed a little leisure?
Good fortune never came in pairs, while trouble never came alone.
Perhaps Zhang Bei had shaved too many years off his life with his misdeeds. Someone always called at a time like this.
Seeing Meng Chuan’s name on the screen, Zhang Bei hesitated over whether to answer.
But the poor guy had, after all, been working in his stead for so long.
Not answering would be rather hard to justify.
“Hello? What’s happened?”
A faintly resentful voice came through the phone.
“Boss, do you ever check your email?”
Zhang Bei gave a light cough. “Read it. Read all of it. You made the right decision. You have my support!”
“So you’ve read all the emails from a week ago?”
“Of course!”
“Then why haven’t I received a reply about those two proposals for commercializing Nuclear Fusion?”
“The first proposal’s good. I forgot to tell you after I read it.”
“Boss!”
“Really!”
While fending off Meng Chuan, he rapidly scrolled through his email with one hand.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t looked in here for a month.
What if some amusement park had sent him an invitation and he had missed it? That would be an unforgivable sin!
Soon, though, one email caught his eye.
The subject line read: Asian Nuclear Fusion Strategy Conference.
The title alone made it obvious this was something official.
The higher-ups weren’t sure whether he would attend this sort of thing, so they had merely sent a token email to ask.
Zhang Bei checked the date carefully.
Sure enough, it was tomorrow!
Meng Chuan’s voice continued droning on at the other end.
Zhang Bei interrupted him. “Attend a meeting for me tomorrow.”
An unpleasant memory surfaced in Meng Chuan’s mind.
“It’s not… another one in a courtyard house, is it?”
“Relax. It’s at the Junyue Grand Hotel this time. All you have to do is listen.”
Meng Chuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the meeting wasn’t in a courtyard house, he really had nothing to fear.
Besides, his boss had said all he needed to do was listen.
It was probably just some more nonsense about Nuclear Fusion.
Meetings like that had been held every day lately.
Most were about deciding where to build power plants and making arrangements for the current coal workers.
“All right. Got it!”
The moment Meng Chuan answered, Zhang Bei hung up.
With this meeting to deal with, Meng Chuan probably wouldn’t have time to bother him for the next month.
Lovely!
Meanwhile, in contrast to all the scheming here, the two brothers inside the Amusement Park were preparing for their third battle.
First to step up was our elder brother, Nangong Guo.
Having lost the opening round, he had been holding on to his anger, ready for revenge.
“My dear little brother, there’s still so much of the afternoon left. We really ought to enjoy ourselves!”
The smile remained on Nangong Zhi’s face. “Whatever you say, big brother!”
Nangong Guo drew a deep breath. “I think that Ejection Chair over there looks pretty good!”
Nangong Zhi’s pupils contracted at his words.
Have you fucking gone berserk?
Are you sure going up on that thing isn’t risking our lives?
But as the younger brother, how could he turn down such a kind offer from his elder brother?
He clenched his jaw and forced the words through his teeth.
“All right. Let’s hope my dear big brother doesn’t give me another chance to take his picture!”
Nangong Guo’s face stiffened. He had spent five years undercover, all leading up to tomorrow’s award ceremony.
If those photos got out, his image as a lone hero would be utterly destroyed.
At this point, there was only one solution!
Give his brother a taste of his own medicine.
As long as he could get a photo of his little brother, they would be tied at two apiece!
And so, among the first batch of afternoon visitors, the Nangong brothers took their seats on the Ejection Chair.
“Little brother, if you can’t take it, we can get off!”
“My dear big brother, don’t underestimate your little brother!”
