Chapter 136: You’re Truly Shameless

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: You’re Truly Shameless

(凸-_-凸)

I’m done being a decent person!

Hearing what Gu Yizhou said, Chen Dongyuan felt like dying!

Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!

Compared to the speechless Chen Dongyuan, Yan Luoxi, who was sprawled across Gu Yizhou’s lap, was perfectly composed.

’This damn man is as narcissistic as ever!’

But she had to admit that this bastard, Gu Yizhou, really had the right to be so narcissistic.

She pouted but didn’t say anything more.

After a long silence, Chen Dongyuan said helplessly, "Sigh, for real. If a girl like Su School Beauty was chasing after me, and for several years at that... if that were me, I would’ve said yes a long time ago."

"Old Gu, be honest, what are you really thinking?"

"What could I be thinking? I’m not thinking about anything!"

"I just feel like the timing’s not right. I’m just not interested."

"Besides, I’m still young. Why would I find someone to tie myself down? Have games stopped being fun, or has alcohol stopped tasting good?"

Gu Yizhou took a sip of his drink and said calmly, "Anyway, I can find someone whenever I want. You’re different! If you don’t hurry up, I’ll really have to visit you in a nursing home when we’re old."

"Damn it!"

"You’re a real jackass!"

Chen Dongyuan was thoroughly bummed out.

Muttering and cursing, he picked up his mug of draft beer and chugged a large mouthful.

Nestled in Gu Yizhou’s arms, Yan Luoxi heard this and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. ’This guy really is a jackass!’

’But Yan Luoxi actually knew Gu Yizhou was just kidding.’

’It was precisely because they had such a good relationship that Gu Yizhou could speak so freely.’

’It was just like her and Roy. In private, that girl Roy was also completely unfiltered and would say anything to her.’

"Oh, by the way, my cousin is coming to Modu tomorrow."

Chen Dongyuan took a sip of beer and suddenly said.

"Your cousin?"

Gu Yizhou was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to why Chen Dongyuan had suddenly brought this up.

"Yep!"

"Let me tell you, my cousin is a real beauty. I’ll introduce you to her. Maybe you two will hit it off on the spot, hehe!"

Chen Dongyuan said with a grin.

"Uh..."

"Wait a minute, why do I get the feeling you’re acting like a pimp?"

Gu Yizhou said, exasperated, "You motherfucker, we haven’t even really started drinking, and you’re already drunk?"

"Hey, I’m serious about introducing my cousin to you!"

Chen Dongyuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "It’s like they say, keep the good stuff for your own people. We’re brothers for life. Better you than some random punk, right?"

"Damn!"

"Then why don’t you want her yourself, you idiot?"

Gu Yizhou cursed back with a speechless laugh.

"You think I don’t want to?"

Chen Dongyuan said with a woeful expression, "You bastard, that’s my *cousin*! It’s illegal... well, not really, but my parents would kill me, okay? I’m not looking to star in a ’Sweet Home Alabama’ cover!"

"Hahahaha!"

Gu Yizhou laughed loudly as the two friends drank happily.

Yan Luoxi’s good mood vanished. She even felt a little irritable.

’No way. I have to stop this so-called cousin from getting close to that damn man!’

"Okay, okay, any more of this and it’ll be R-rated!"

"Let’s drop it."

"So, anyway, tell me, why’d you come looking for me?"

Gu Yizhou took a bite of his skewer, then looked up at his friend sitting across from him and said, "By the way, tomorrow isn’t the weekend. You don’t have to work?"

"Uh..."

At these words, Chen Dongyuan’s expression faltered slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou’s brows furrowed.

"What’s wrong?"

"Did something happen?"

He asked, his expression turning serious.

"Sigh!"

"It’s nothing, it’s just... uh... I quit."

Chen Dongyuan stammered for a long time before finally getting the words out.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yizhou was taken aback. "So sudden?"

"It is a bit, but actually, it’s not that sudden. I’ve been thinking about quitting for a while now!"

"Remember during the school anniversary event, when I went back to campus? I told you my fucking moron of a boss is just disgusting."

"After I got back from that trip to the school, he got even more disgusting. This time, I’m not putting up with his shit anymore!"

Chen Dongyuan paused here, picking up his glass and downing a large mouthful.

BANG!

He slammed the glass hard onto the tabletop, making the small table tremble.

"Fuck, do you have any idea how disgusting that bastard He Xuelin is?!"

"That bastard is always extorting people. This time, something went wrong, and he actually threatened me with my job, wanting me to take the fall for him!"

"FUCK!!!"

Chen Dongyuan wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth and continued to curse.

"Uh... Who’s He Xuelin?"

Gu Yizhou asked, a little confused.

"Oh, He Xuelin is my moron boss, my direct supervisor. That bastard has been ordering me around all the time, just because he’s a company veteran!"

"I usually put up with it, but this time he wanted me to take the fall for him? No fucking way!"

"So I got pissed, just said ’fuck it,’ and quit!"

Chen Dongyuan explained.

After listening to his explanation, Gu Yizhou fell silent.

In the workplace, a boss making a mistake and a subordinate taking the fall was actually a very common occurrence.

Of course, some companies had a pretty good work environment. For example, in his current team, Team Three of the Financial Analysis Department, everyone got along quite harmoniously.

Gu Yizhou knew Chen Dongyuan’s personality, so he didn’t try to persuade him to endure it or anything.

It was just a stupid job. Quitting was quitting. It wasn’t a big deal.

It wasn’t like that was the only company in the world to work for.

If this place doesn’t want you, another place will!

"Hmm... so what are your plans now?"

Gu Yizhou raised his glass and clinked it against Chen Dongyuan’s, then asked casually.

Perhaps he had already prepared what he was going to say, because as soon as he heard this, Chen Dongyuan became rather excited.

"I’m planning to start my own business!"

Chen Dongyuan blurted out without the slightest hesitation.

"Start your own business?"

Gu Yizhou was slightly taken aback.

Although he wasn’t intimately familiar with Chen Dongyuan’s family situation, he knew the gist of it. They weren’t super-rich, but they could be considered a well-off family.

If he really wanted to start a business, his family could still afford to support him.

He just didn’t know what the guy was planning to do.

"Yeah!"

"Anyway, I’m done working for other people!"

"Working a job? That’s impossible. I’ll never work a job in this life!"

"I’m not gonna take that kind of crap anymore!"

Chen Dongyuan chugged a large mouthful of beer and said with grim determination.

Uh... (⊙_⊙)...

’Why does that sound so familiar?’

Gu Yizhou was a little dumbfounded, feeling like he’d heard that line somewhere before.

He shook his head, didn’t dwell on it, and turned to ask, "Alright then. So how do you plan to start your business? What field are you getting into? What’s your plan? How much starting capital do you have?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s questions, Chen Dongyuan’s spirits instantly lifted...
