Chapter 069 Changes

Chen Wei was feeling a bit dizzy from the drinks.

Pan Jing was shameless, repeating the same sentence over and over again, which annoyed Chen Wei to no end.

He downed a whole bottle of beer.

Chen Wei knew that if he continued drinking, he would surely be overwhelmed by Pan Jing.

With his limited alcohol tolerance, Pan Jing was practically pouring him drinks like it was a game.

It was time to deploy the "urinary escape" skill.

He had initially planned to connect with Yu Jia, Pan Zhiyao, and others to strengthen their relationships, but that would have to wait for another time.

While Pan Jing was busy drinking with others, Chen Wei seized the opportunity to leave.

"Where are you going?" Pan Jing, with her keen senses, noticed Chen Wei trying to leave and immediately called out.

"To the restroom, sister!" Chen Wei said helplessly.

"Just one bottle and you need to go to the restroom? Can you handle it?" Pan Jing scornfully remarked.

Chen Wei was speechless.

"Go on, hurry back," Pan Jing said dismissively, not expecting Chen Wei to need to use the restroom after just one bottle. She then went back to drinking with others.

Chen Wei quickly left the room and went to the restroom.

As he came out, he coincidentally met Zhao Yang, who also came in.

"Wait for me," Zhao Yang said, entering the restroom.

He came out shortly after and signaled for Chen Wei to follow him outside.

Chen Wei knew Zhao Yang probably had something to discuss with him, so he followed him out of the restaurant.

There were many cars parked in front of the restaurant. Zhao Yang and Chen Wei walked to his car, leaning against the hood.

"I might be leaving after this month," Zhao Yang said calmly, lighting a cigarette and informing Chen Wei.

Chen Wei furrowed his brows. "So soon?"

This came as a surprise to him.

"I don't want to leave either, but someone insists that I do," Zhao Yang sighed and explained.

"Is it Luo Chen?" Chen Wei asked.

"Mr. Wang," Zhao Yang replied.

"Mr. Wang wants you to leave?" This was unexpected to Chen Wei.

Last time in Mr. Wang's office, he had pledged that Zhao Yang was his brother. But now, he was letting go of his brother just like that!

This Mr. Wang, quite something!

Zhao Yang glanced at Chen Wei, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not exactly forcing me to leave. Actually... Mr. Wang also has his reasons."

"Reasons?" Chen Wei said thoughtfully.

Of course, he knew Mr. Wang had his reasons, but to dismiss his brother because of them seemed unreasonable.

Moreover, Chen Wei could sense that Zhao Yang didn't harbor much resentment.

It seemed that this matter wasn't as simple as he had imagined. There must be some other hidden factors at play.

"Yeah, there are some things I can't reveal too much about. I just wanted to let you know," Zhao Yang said.

Chen Wei just nodded, neither saying nor asking anything.

"After I leave, Group Seven might appoint a new leader who has a good relationship with Luo Chen. Be prepared. And if, I mean if, you don't want to stay at Meitai by then, you can come find me. Of course, with your abilities, you could start your own business. I just want to say that if you're willing to come, you're welcome anytime," Zhao Yang looked at Chen Wei sincerely.

"Do you want to start your own business?" Chen Wei asked.

"It's not exactly starting my own business. I would do it with a few friends," Zhao Yang didn't reveal much.

Chen Wei nodded and said, "I understand. I'll consider it."

"Okay, that's all. Want to go back and have another drink?" Zhao Yang threw away the cigarette butt and stood up, asking.

Chen Wei smiled and shook his head. "I dare not go back again. I'm already a bit drunk. I have to go home and sleep quickly. I have something to do tomorrow."

Zhao Yang also smiled. "You kid, I knew you were going to run away! Okay, go back. I'll let your sister-in-law know."

Chen Wei thanked him and parted ways with Zhao Yang.

Chen Wei didn't pay much attention to Zhao Yang's departure from the company. He was a bit surprised at first, but seeing Zhao Yang's demeanor, he didn't seem too disappointed. There must be some other factors behind this that he didn't know about.

As for what those factors were, he wasn't interested in finding out. Anyway, he would leave the company after this month, and whatever the company wanted to do was none of his concern.

Passing by a self-service bank, Chen Wei withdrew some money. Not too much, just five thousand.

Mainly for giving red envelopes to Liu Jia tomorrow.

However, he hadn't decided how much to give yet.

Back home, looking at the time still before nine o'clock, Chen Wei sent WeChat messages to Wang Li and Yue Jiawen, asking how much they planned to give for the red envelopes.

Wang Li quickly replied, "Xue Fan and I, along with Jiang Chen and a few others, decided to give six hundred. We are all still students, unlike you guys who have jobs and money. Taking out six hundred means I have to be frugal for this month. It seems the guys are planning to give eight hundred, but I didn't ask for the specifics. However, I think it's not about the amount of money, as long as the intention is there, there's no need to worry about the numbers."

Yue Jiawen also replied, "I'm planning to give eight hundred. Morning Sun and Haozi didn't come, so they asked me to give them eight hundred red envelopes on their behalf. You can also give eight hundred, no need for more. Don't worry. I've heard that that guy Dong Yuhua wants to give two thousand. Damn, what's the use of giving two thousand? He earns over eight thousand a month, plus various bonuses, totaling at least a hundred and fifty thousand a year. He doesn't care. I earn just over five thousand a month. If I don't meet the targets, they deduct my salary, and then there's rent and living expenses. I'm barely making ends meet every month. I'm even feeling reluctant to give eight hundred. It's as if I want to give six hundred like the girls."

Yue Jiawen worked in a public institution in his hometown. His job was decent, and the benefits were good. Although he now portrayed himself as pitiful, Chen Wei didn't take it seriously. His father had tens of millions in assets, and Yue Jiawen was his only child. He was far from being pitiful.

On the other hand, Dong Yuhua was doing quite well. With an annual income of fifteen thousand, he was quite impressive for a graduate who had just graduated for a year. No wonder Dong Yuhua was so active...

After listening to the two of them, Chen Wei had a good idea.

Eight hundred would suffice, no need for more.

If he really threw out two thousand or even five thousand, it would only make Yue Jiawen and the others feel like he was showing off.

That would be counterproductive.

Chen Wei lay on the bed and chatted with Wang Li and Yue Jiawen for a while, getting a general understanding of some classmates' situations. He also arranged to visit Liu Jia's house at a certain time tomorrow before finally going to sleep.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Chen Wei got up. After freshening up and changing into some new clothes, which were actually discounted miscellaneous brand items he bought last time, he bought a few buns downstairs and ate them. Then he took a taxi straight to Liu Jia's house.
