A long time ago, Cheng Sen taught Jiang Tongyan a proverb—to engage in rivalry with others is an endless joy.
Jiang Tongyan had kept this sentence in mind for many years, and now he really understood how ‘joyful’ this was.
When he said, ‘I’ll eat, and you watch,’ he could almost feel Qian Xiaoke’s anger through the telephone receiver. The anger was burning, but it couldn’t burn him.
Very cool.
Very exciting.
However, Jiang Tongyan didn’t really want to torture Qian Xiaoke like this. He was still a good person, just teasing that kid.
But Qian Xiaoke took it seriously, and her hair was practically about to be burned off by her anger.
“Okay Chairman Jiang. It’s not a problem, Chairman Jiang. Chairman Jiang, what do you want to eat?” Qian Xiaoke said with a smile on his face, but there was a knife hidden in his smile.
“All is fine,” Jiang Tongyan said, “Something tasty, two servings.”
“Two servings?” Qian Xiaoke almost changed his opinion of him—if Jiang Tongyan hadn’t said the last sentence.
Jiang Tongyan said, “Yes, I have had a very good appetite recently; one serving is not enough for me.”
Qian Xiaoke smiled, “Okay Chairman Jiang. It’s not a problem, Chairman Jiang.”
He thought about it, and he would carry a controlled knife1Controlled knives are a general term used by the judicial authorities of the People’s Republic of China to refer to certain knives that can cause significant harm with him later. If he could pass the subway security check smoothly, he would use the controlled knife to understand Jiang Tongyan.
As for what controlled knife he finally chose—a knife made of paper.
Qian Xiaoke put the ‘knife’ into his schoolbag and set off on the mission Chairman Cheng had given him.
He passed the subway security check smoothly, and Qian Xiaoke felt that it was God’s will and that God wanted him to kill Jiang Tongyan.
He took the subway for more than 30 minutes and walked for five minutes before finally arriving downstairs at Jiang Tongyan’s hotel.
Qian Xiaoke stood by the road and hesitated momentarily, then bought two spicy hot pots and went upstairs.
He deliberately left the receipt for the spicy hot pot; after all, he had to get it reimbursed.
Qian Xiaoke went upstairs to find Jiang Tongyan with his black schoolbag on his shoulder and two spicy hot pots in his hands. In the five-star hotel, wherever he walked, the aroma of a spicy hot pot filled the air.
Before he knocked on the door, Jiang Tongyan knew he had come. After all, the taste of spicy hot pot was too strong.
However, Chairman Jiang was Chairman Jiang after all. He was sitting as steady as a mountain.
Qian Xiaoke knocked on the door, but Jiang Tongyan didn’t move.
Qian Xiaoke knocked on the door, but Jiang Tongyan still didn’t move.
Qian Xiaoke, “Oh, the spicy hot pot bag is broken!”
Jiang Tongyan opened the door quickly.
Qian Xiaoke, “…Tsk!”
Jiang Tongyan knew he had been tricked, but he wasn’t annoyed. He smiled and let the person in.
“Why did you buy spicy hot pot again?” Jiang Tongyan said, “I saw on the internet that eating this thing all the time is unhealthy.”
“If you don’t want to eat it, forget it.” Qian Xiaoke said, “I did it on purpose.”
I did it on purpose to make you unhealthy!
It’s best if you have diarrhoea!
Jiang Tongyan wanted to laugh when he saw this energy. He found that in his eyes, Qian Xiaoke was a comedian. When he was in a bad mood, he would laugh immediately when he saw this person.
“Okay, it’s been bought, so let’s eat it.” Jiang Tongyan asked him to put the spicy hot pot on the table, and he took out two cans of iced cola from the refrigerator.
Qian Xiaoke’s eyes began to light up when he saw the iced cola, but he knew very well that he couldn’t casually drink the drinks given by a stranger.
Although Jiang Tongyan was no longer a ‘stranger’ to him strictly speaking—not only was he not strange, but he was also familiar with him and had kissed and touched him—Qian Xiaoke still didn’t dare to drink it casually. This guy took it out of the refrigerator in his room. Who knows if he secretly added something to it with bad intentions!
Qian Xiaoke was very cautious!
The most careless thing in his life was that time when he got drunk.
The past was too painful to recall, and he didn’t want to mention it again.
Qian Xiaoke tensed his nerves and body at this moment and stood there properly, ready to watch Jiang Tongyan eat, then quickly grab him and leave after eating.
“Why are you standing? If others don’t know, one might think I’m abusing you.” Jiang Tongyan put a can of iced cola on the table before Qian Xiaole, “Sit down.”
Do it?
Qian Xiaoke’s body trembled: He wants to do that to me again?
Qian Xiaoke, who obviously thought wrongly, grabbed his schoolbag strap and suddenly remembered that he brought a ‘controlled knife’.
Of course, Qian Xiaoke was not really a fool. He knew that his so-called ‘controlled knife’ could only be used for fun. However, at this moment, he really hoped that it was real and it could kill with one blow.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Tongyan sat down with a smile and opened the takeaway bag, “Wow, this is a lot.”
Jiang Tongyan looked up at Qian Xiaoke, “I didn’t expect this spicy hot pot to be so much, tsk, I can’t seem to finish it.”
Qian Xiaoke looked at him sideways and began to wonder: What does he mean? Is he trying to buy my body with a spicy hot pot?
“Hey, have you eaten?” Jiang Tongyan knew that Qian Xiaoke definitely didn’t eat, because when he called, Qian Xiaoke hadn’t reached lunch break yet, and Qian Xiaoke left after hanging up the phone. Jiang Tongyan counted the time with his fingers and guessed that this guy must be hungry at this moment.
“I…” Qian Xiaoke had not eaten; Qian Xiaoke was starving to death.
However, Qian Xiaoke was a man of integrity. He wouldn’t sell his body for a spicy hot pot.
It was just a spicy hot pot. He can afford it himself!
“You haven’t eaten yet?” Jiang Tongyan put the extra chopsticks on another takeout box, “Sit down and eat together.”
Qian Xiaoke took two steps back cautiously.
Jiang Tongyan: “…This is what you bought. Could it be that you poisoned it?”
Qian Xiaoke might want to, but he had the desire without the courage—and no means even to buy poison if he dared.
“I’m not you,” Qian Xiaoke said, “I don’t do that kind of dirty things.”
Jiang Tongyan was speechless, thinking: How am I dirty?
“By the way,” Qian Xiaoke suddenly took another half step forward, “When will you pay me back the eight yuan you owe me?”
Jiang Tongyan laughed, but he didn’t expect that this guy would still remember the eight yuan.
“I can pay you back now,” Jiang Tongyan said, “Then when will you pay me back the twenty dollars you owe me?”
“When did I owe you twenty dollars?” Qian Xiaoke was almost mad at this man, “Do you still have any shame left?”
“Hey? Does your Chairman Cheng know that you are talking to me like this?” Jiang Tongyan patted the table, “Sit down and eat, and I will pay you after you finish eating.”
Qian Xiaoke was a man of integrity, “No!”
“No?” Jiang Tongyan smiled, “If you don’t accompany me to eat this meal, I will definitely not pay you back the eight dollars, and you still owe me twenty dollars. In addition, you just spoke rudely to me. I am going to complain about you and let Chairman Cheng deduct your salary!”
The next second, Qian Xiaoke’s ‘integrity’ flew away. He sat directly next to Jiang Tongyan, picked up the chopsticks, and opened the takeaway box.
Actually, he was really starving to death.
Jiang Tongyan held back his laughter and looked at him with satisfaction, then opened the cola for him and put it next to him.
Qian Xiaoke got the advantage but still wanted to act cute, “I said I don’t want to eat it, but you forced me to eat it! You really…”
He swallowed the lettuce in his mouth, “Really have bad intentions!”
Jiang Tongyan laughed, “I have bad intentions? I’m afraid you are the one who has bad intentions!”
Qian Xiaoke looked at him suspiciously.
“How about you try it first? What if you’ve actually slipped some knockout drug in there and planned to r4p3 me? What would I do then?”
Qian Xiaoke almost laughed and fainted. He said breathlessly, “Me? r4p3 you? Am I crazy? How bad must my brain be to r4p3 an impotent person!”
After saying that, he watched Jiang Tongyan’s face change. The next second, a voice came to Qian Xiaoke’s mind: Qian Xiaoke, you are finished.
