"Who gave you your name? It's really right!"

[*Sai: Cheng Lang, especially his first name 'Lang' (浪), has several meanings including; wave, unrestrained, and dissolute. Also generally used to describe someone who exhibits cynical, overconfident, and unconventional behavior and mental state with connotations of being indifferent, doing whatever one wants, being easygoing, and behaving recklessly.]

Under the stage, Brother Wang looked at Cheng Lang with a complicated look and some admiration and said, "You dare to make fun of me and Brother Chen; you are really brave!"

"... All for a living." Cheng Lang looked at Brother Wang pitifully, his voice hoarse, "Is there any water?"

Brother Wang turned around and was about to ask his men to get a bottle of water for Cheng Lang. Shen Huaiyu came up from behind and handed the mineral water in his hand to Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half of the bottle in one breath. He finally felt the comfort of a salted fish on the beach jumping back into the sea.

Brother Wang glanced at Shen Huaiyu and continued to say to Cheng Lang, "...You did a good job tonight."

Without waiting for Cheng Lang to answer, Brother Wang said, "Regarding the contract, I admit that I invited General Manager Lu to come here to recommend Tianye. This guy is a talent. If he can't make his debut, it would be a waste of his talent. He is different from you. You don't want to eat this bowl of rice, but he can't live without this industry. I—"

"I understand." Cheng Lang interrupted Brother Wang and looked at Meng Tianye, who had come over from nowhere, "What are you doing standing there? Are you going to find General Manager Lu?"

When Brother Wang turned around, he saw Meng Tianye standing behind him, looking at Cheng Lang stubbornly, with his fists hanging at his side clenched tightly.

Brother Wang's heart "clicked", and he thought to himself that it was not good. He said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. General Manager Lu—"

"Brother Wang!" Meng Tianye interrupted Brother Wang, "Thank you for lifting me up. Let's forget it this time. Since General Manager Lu doesn't like me, there's no need for me to force myself to get close to her."

"Tianye!" Brother Wang said in a heavier tone, "You are not a child anymore, don't be ignorant. Don't get angry at this time!"

Meng Tianye said nothing and turned around with a gloomy face. He doesn't need charity from others, especially from Cheng Lang. He doesn't want it!

"This kid!" Brother Wang was furious and chased after him.

Cheng Lang shook his head. So, what's the benefit of young people being too thin-skinned? Sooner or later, they will suffer losses.

"Don't learn from him." Cheng Lang warned Shen Huaiyu, "As a person, you need to be thick-skinned and have a higher psychological quality. As long as you have a broad mind, there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome."

Shen Huaiyu smiled and relaxed his brows. He didn't know what he was thinking about and looked at Cheng Lang with hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows, "Just say it if you have something to say."

Shen Huaiyu asked, "If—"

Shen Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and still said hesitantly, "What if today that guest, General Manager Lu, insists that you be with her?"

Shen Huaiyu's eyes were a little empty, "You also said that not all problems in this world can be solved with money. Money can't buy people's willingness. If someone forces you to do something you don't want to do. Force you to be with him..."

Shen Huaiyu looked at Cheng Lang and said, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"Actually, it's easy to do." Cheng Lang stretched his back and said with a smile, "If I were in this situation, I would try to be richer than him. Then I would try to turn all his money into mine. At that time, I would tell him in person that although I don't care about him as a person, I like his money very much. Finally, I would dump him. Then I would use his money to love all living beings. Turn small love into great love."

Shen Huaiyu was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Cheng Lang patted Shen Huaiyu on the shoulder, "As a human being, the most important thing is to live calmly. As long as you don't look down on yourself, the gossip of others won't hurt you."

"What if the damage has already been done?" Shen Huaiyu hesitated.

Cheng Lang thought for a moment and said slowly, "Then find a way to turn this damage into motivation."

Many times, people who carry heavy loads will go farther than those who travel light.

Cheng Lang threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to go with me?"

Shen Huaiyu was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"Then I'll go by myself." Cheng Lang said. He hadn't walked a few steps when he heard Shen Huaiyu calling him.

Cheng Lang turned around and saw Shen Huaiyu saying earnestly under the flickering lights of the bar, "Cheng Lang, thank you."

Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows, turned around, waved his hand with his back to Shen Huaiyu, and strode away—he was really anxious to go to the bathroom.

Worried that there were too many people in the bathroom on the first floor, Cheng Lang went to the second floor as usual. But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, he saw a very handsome man working inside, whose whole body and every hair met his aesthetic standards. Cheng Lang's eyes lit up, and he went to meet the man. When he was letting the water out, he saw the man's eyes drooping slightly, looking at him thoughtfully.

Cheng Lang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, "What are you looking at?"

"Are you really not capable?" the man asked.

Cheng Lang: "..."

Cheng Lang was in a dilemma for a moment, but in the end, his good professionalism prevailed. He sighed slightly, looked up at the light, and said something philosophical, "If you say no, then no. If you say yes, then no."

After that, Cheng Lang went to wash his hands, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the bathroom in a seemingly chic manner.

He almost bumped into someone as he walked out the door. Cheng Lang took a step back. He saw Brother Chen and a group of men in black suits standing outside with serious expressions. Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence! Brother Chen, are you here to use the bathroom too?"

Is there no bathroom on the third floor? Why are so many people queuing here?

Brother Chen looked at him with a look that Cheng Lang couldn't quite understand. He looked at Cheng Lang for a long time and asked in a low voice, "You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?"

Hearing this, Cheng Lang thought about it seriously, "Every word I said came from my heart."

Brother Chen: "..."

Forget it, except for the fact that this guy is unreliable, there is probably nothing reliable about him.

Next to Brother Chen, a man with fox eyes, a gentle temperament, and gold-rimmed glasses chuckled. He looked at Cheng Lang and said, "Are you interested in changing your job?"

Perhaps because the guests responded too enthusiastically that night, Cheng Lang asked reflexively, "Crosstalk?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses said: "..."

As he was talking, Cheng Lang felt a breeze blowing behind his head. He turned around and saw a man who met his aesthetic standards, even down to the hair, walking out with an indifferent expression.

"Boss Qin." Brother Chen and the row of men in black suits behind him called out seriously.

Qin Mu nodded slightly and said lightly, "Let's go."

Cheng Lang's ears moved, and he turned his head to look over. It turned out that this man was the white moonlight of the scumbag Lu Chengxuan!

With such a look, it's no wonder that people are obsessed with him.

Cheng Lang couldn't help but sigh. Although Lu Chengxuan had many faults, this aesthetic was really! Very good!

But then again, Cheng Lang finally understood why, in a book about a love affair with a substitute, the original novel didn't describe the male protagonist White Moonlight much but instead placed a lot of words and plots on the endless substitutes. Cheng Lang thought the author had missed it, but now it seems that he didn't want to overshadow the male protagonist.

After all, with Qin Mu's pomp and capital, even going to the bathroom requires a row of younger brothers waiting outside the door. This must be the character setting of the male No. 1 in the domineering CEO novel! Cheng Lang has seen Lu Chengxuan before. He compared the two people and it was hard to imagine Qin Mu being inferior to others. Could it be that Lu Chengxuan is actually...

In a flash, Cheng Lang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He felt that he had eaten a big melon.

Feeling Cheng Lang's overly hot gaze, everyone present looked at Qin Mu in unison.

Qin Mu's expression was calm.

Brother Chen coughed lightly, "If you have nothing to do, go downstairs quickly. Don't you still have work?"

Cheng Lang sighed with regret and turned to go downstairs.

As soon as he returned to the first floor, he was pulled into a corner by the foreman, who whispered in his ear, "Meng Tianye resigned!"

Cheng Lang was not very surprised when he thought of the temper of the little wild horse.

The foreman shook his head and said, "This guy is too hot-tempered. Brother Wang finally invited General Manager Lu from Qin Dynasty Records to come here. Do you think Meng Tianye is throwing a tantrum at this time? Isn't he ruining Brother Wang's plan?"

"Young people don't know how to cherish opportunities. He will definitely regret it." The foreman said it clearly.

Cheng Lang sighed, "You still have to make more money!"

The foreman looked at Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang complained to himself, "Without money, I am embarrassed to chase after people who make me fall in love."

The foreman was full of fog.

Cheng Lang continued, "For someone like me, even if I run over and say that I like him now, he will only think that I like his money, right?"

Cheng Lang sighed. He was really just an ordinary vicious cannon fodder. Those scenes where domineering CEOs fall in love at first sight and then seize someone by force will never happen to him.

System: […That’s not what you just said!]

Cheng Lang turned a deaf ear to the system’s nagging. He went to work with high spirits. When he got off work, he was blocked in the dressing room by the foreman, “Did you know?”

The foreman looked at Cheng Lang with a complicated expression, “You made nearly 500,000 today!”

Cheng Lang: “???”

The foreman nodded heavily, looking at Cheng Lang’s expression with a little envy and hatred, “It’s your salary tonight plus the commission for drinks and the rewards from the guests.”

The foreman paused and said delicately, "Those guests said that the reward is for listening to crosstalk. It is not a tip for drinking and ordering songs. The bar has no right to refuse on your behalf. They also specifically reminded the bar to give you this money."

Cheng Lang: "!!!"

The foreman sighed, "And the 200,000 yuan from General Manager Lu is also recorded for you. Because the amount is too large, after summarizing it, it will be transferred to your card tomorrow."

Happiness came too suddenly. Cheng Lang woke up from a dream. It seems that he is not far away from achieving his first small goal in life.

"Keep working hard!" The foreman patted Cheng Lang on the shoulder, "Keep working hard, I think you have the potential to become the first billionaire born in White Jade Capital."

Cheng Lang bowed and left work with Shen Huaiyu.

While waiting for the car on the roadside, Cheng Lang bought three roasted sweet potatoes and gave one to Shen Huaiyu.

"Don't be jealous, brother!" Cheng Lang said while chewing the sweet potato, "I'll go with you to collect debts this weekend. You'll be rich then!"
