Chapter 396 Did you get what you wanted?
Lin Xia came to the stage and said a few words to the singer who would be singing tonight, while Fei Si sat at the drummer's position.

Then Lin Xia picked up the microphone and said:

"The next song, 'Always Quiet', is for everyone!"

The empty streets, I want to find someone to vent my emotions with.

Making this decision means loneliness is my neighbor.

Our love is like the scenery you pass by.

It's always going on, but the pace never stops for me.

The love I give you has always been quiet, in exchange for the occasional care you give me.

It’s obviously a movie about three people, but I still can’t have a name!
······
At this moment, Lin Xia, who was singing passionately on the stage, thought of her own experience and unconsciously immersed herself in the mood of the song.

At this time, Cheng Feng in the audience thought of Shi Xiaomeng, Shen Bing and his own situation, and was also moved by the song. Then he looked at Lin Xia in a daze, thinking that Lin Xia was using this song to commemorate her lost love.

Shen Bing seemed to have noticed something and looked at Lin Xia. No one knew what she was thinking, but then she stopped looking at Cheng Feng!

······
Lin Xia continued singing afterwards, and only took the time to ask Lin Hao to help check Shi Xiaomeng's whereabouts. Cheng Feng and Shen Bing, who were in the audience, began to discuss the issue of Shi Xiaomeng's disappearance.

After a long time, the two people in the audience were unable to reach any conclusion. Finally, Cheng Feng said goodbye to Lin Xia and sent Shen Bing back.

Shortly after they left, Lin Hao also came to the bar and enjoyed Lin Xia's singing from the audience.

After Lin Xia finished singing the song, she sat in front of Lin Hao:

"How's it going? Have you found out where Xiao Meng is?"

Lin Hao took a sip of wine, then said slowly:

"Shi Xiaomeng is not missing at all, his phone just ran out of battery, and he has already returned home!"

"What about them?" Thinking of Cheng Feng and Shen Bing's performance, Lin Xia then said: "Let me tell you, just now Cheng Feng and Shen Bing..."

On the other side, after Shi Xiaomeng returned home, he found the meal ready, but Shen Bing was not at home, so he could only wait in a depressed mood.

After realizing that my phone was out of battery, I prepared to charge it and call Shen Bing. However, as soon as I turned on the phone, I received countless missed calls and text messages!
Then a phone call came in and it turned out to be from Lin Xia. Shi Xiaomeng had no ill will towards this girl who was hurt by Cheng Feng, and he even felt that they were connected by the same fate!

"Hello! Lin Xia, what can I do for you?" Shi Xiaomeng asked directly after the call was connected.

Oh my! Your call finally got through! Lin Xia was very happy to get through to Shi Xiaomeng, but she still asked with concern:

"Xiao Meng, are you in any trouble? If you need any help, just ask!"

Shi Xiaomeng felt a little touched. It was obvious that Lin Xia must know about his situation, otherwise she would not have said that. At the same time, she was also considering her own face.

Out of self-respect, Shi Xiaomeng smiled and refused:

"It's okay, someone's phone ran out of battery. I charged it right after I got back, and then I got your call!"

Lin Xia was silent for a while before she spoke:
"Oh~! As expected~!"

"So that's how it is, but you better be more careful next time!"

"Do you know? During the time you lost contact, everyone has been looking for you like crazy. Oh, by the way, Shen Bing and the madman just left, you should call them back and don't let them worry!"

Lin Xia's words of comfort failed to comfort him, but instead made Shi Xiaomeng nervous. He then remembered that he had not told Shen Bing about his breakup with Cheng Feng!

"Okay, thank you for your reminder!" Shi Xiaomeng was suddenly shocked. He felt that Lin Xia had something else in mind, so he asked again:
"By the way, didn't you just say that they were all looking for me? Then why were Shen Bing and Cheng Feng in the bar?"

Lin Xia was silent again, and finally said: Okay, there are some things I can’t say more about, after all~!

"Anyway, you just need to be more careful!" Lin Xia hung up the phone after saying that!

Lin Xia put down her phone with a troubled look on her face, then stared at Lin Hao and asked:

"Okay, are you satisfied?"

Lin Hao smiled and then said:

"I feel sorry for Shi Xiaomeng, and as Shi Xiaomeng's friend, you need to remind him!"

This is also what Lin Xia is struggling with. If possible, she really doesn't want to know about them.

At this time Lin Hao pulled Lin Xia out of the bar!

"Hey, where are you taking me?"

"Hahaha, what do you think?" He said and left with Lin Xia!

At this moment, Shi Xiaomeng had a bad feeling in his heart. When he was about to call Shen Bing, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs!

So he leaned over the window and took a look, and found that it was Cheng Feng's car, and Shen Bing in the car had not gotten out yet.

However, her behavior of not getting out of the car made Shi Xiaomeng's eyes upstairs turn red instantly.

Then Shi Xiaomeng came downstairs like a madman, and saw Shen Bing and Cheng Feng looking at each other and talking.

In the car, Shen Bing was trying to persuade Cheng Feng to reconcile with the brothers, and she was also planning to wait for Shi Xiaomeng to come back before trying to persuade him.

Shi Xiaomeng, with red eyes, walked straight to the car. At this time, the two people in the car also discovered Shi Xiaomeng.

"Xiao Meng~!" After Shen Bing discovered Shi Xiaomeng, she happily said goodbye to Cheng Feng.

However, Shi Xiaomeng gritted his teeth, opened the passenger door, and pulled Shen Bing out of the car. Shen Bing asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Hey~! Xiao Meng, what's wrong with you!"

Cheng Feng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, got out of the car and took Shi Xiaomeng's hand and said sincerely:

"Xiao Meng, listen to me, you misunderstood~!"

Seeing that Shi Xiaomeng ignored him, Cheng Feng took the initiative to explain:

"Xiao Meng, you really misunderstood. Shen Bing and I can't contact you. We are very worried about you. Please don't misunderstand~!"

Shi Xiaomeng let go of Shen Bing, then pushed Cheng Feng away, and without saying a word, he took Shen Bing home!
After seeing the two of them go back, Cheng Feng tidied his clothes and looked at Shi Xiaomeng's house again.

The two figures were reflected on the window, and Cheng Feng saw the scenes from their quarrel to their reconciliation. Then he drove home with a blank expression. It was time to confront old Cheng Shengen!
After returning home, Cheng Shengen was waiting for him at home. Cheng Shengen, who was about to take medicine, saw Cheng Feng coming back and said angrily:
"You are finally willing to come back!"

"Yes, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish!

"Bang!" Cheng Shengen, holding the medicine bottle, threw it directly to the ground and said:
"What's the matter with Hu's advertisement?"

"I gave the advertisement to Hu's!" Looking at the medicine bottle thrown over and the medicine scattered all over the floor, Cheng Feng sat on the sofa and said nonchalantly:

"Tell me what you want to do, I will be responsible!"

"Nonsense, I don't care how you behave normally, but when it comes to the company's affairs..."

Cheng Shengen was dissatisfied with Cheng Feng's attitude and asked Cheng Feng to destroy the contract. However, Cheng Feng said that he had signed on behalf of Cheng Shengen and even stamped the official seal for you! "

Later, facing the threat of going to jail, Cheng Feng fearlessly asked him to call the police to arrest him and let him go to jail. However, Cheng Shengen was such a coward that there was no way he would really call the police.

Just like that, a fierce verbal conflict broke out between the two, and during the conflict, Cheng Feng intentionally or unintentionally expressed that he was led astray by his good father.

He plays more extravagantly and more ruthlessly than Cheng Shengen, even trying to steal his best friend's girlfriend!
Cheng Shengen was so angry that he had a heart attack and was immediately sent to the hospital by Cheng Feng!

On the other side, after a conflict with Shen Bing, Shi Xiaomeng finally opened up to each other, untied the knot in their hearts, and decided to start over.

However, he soon received a call from Hu Rongqiang, asking him to come to the company the next morning to collect his bonus, and also praising him for winning Dade's advertising contract next year. Shi Xiaomeng felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

He knows Dade's advertising contract for next year better than anyone else, so should he accept this sugar-coated bullet?
In the huge city of Beijing, Shi Xiaomeng had no one to rely on, and he worked hard alone to make a name for himself.

He has been struggling for that 38-square-meter home and for his girlfriend Shen Bing to live a happy life.

He thought it was something within his reach, but in the end he missed it. He thought there was no hope at all, but now, as long as he is willing, he can get it back immediately!
How should he choose? This made Shi Xiaomeng toss and turn, unable to sleep all night!

next day
Shi Xiaomeng came to Hu's Advertising in a daze. At this time, he still hadn't decided whether he should accept it.

However, Hu Rongqiang helped him prepare a celebration party. Looking at the fat and bloated Hu Rongqiang in front of him, he remembered what he had said to his secretary Shasha in the office, which made him feel full of hatred.

When Hu Rongqiang announced his promotion to sales manager, showed him around the spacious and bright independent office, and placed 38 yuan in cash in stacks in front of him, he remembered the -square-meter home he promised to Shen Bing.

Everything that happened before his eyes finally made Shi Xiaomeng silent.

Hu Rongqiang looked at the hesitant Shi Xiaomeng and advised again:
"Okay, stop thinking about it. You have to think it over carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"

As he spoke, Hu Rongqiang picked up a stack of banknotes and put them into the money counting machine. Immediately afterwards, the rustling sound of counting money was heard!

"Money is a good thing. It can help a migrant worker settle down in Beijing. Xiao Meng, why are you still hesitating? Have you forgotten that today is the deadline for the down payment on the house?"

"To be honest, I underestimated Cheng Feng before. He really did get the job done for you! I have to admit that!"

Looking at the two hundred thousand in front of him, listening to the rustling of the money in the money counting machine, and listening to Hu Rongqiang's hypocritical words, Shi Xiaomeng slowly placed his hand on the pile of money.

There was no other way. The sunk cost was too high, so he compromised and decided to return to Hu Advertising and accept the 200,000 yuan bonus.

Rich people can really do whatever they want. They can make people experience hope or despair. As long as they want, they can make things happen with a wave of their hands, allowing you to experience survival from desperate situations!

The anger in Shi Xiaomeng's heart did not dissipate even a little bit because of the two hundred thousand cash in front of him.

······
Looking at Cheng Shengen who had been rescued, Cheng Feng hung up the phone and called Shi Xiaomeng directly!

Shi Xiaomeng took the 200,000 yuan in cash and went directly to the sales office. He successfully paid the down payment and then received a call from Cheng Feng. The two then made an appointment to meet at the basketball hall!

Later in the basketball hall, Shi Xiaomeng directly stated that he would never give up Shen Bing, and Cheng Feng also said that he did not come for Shen Bing.

The purpose is only to ask for Shi Xiaomeng's forgiveness and to atone for the mistakes he made. He wants to reconcile with Shi Xiaomeng and continue to be good friends!

Shi Xiaomeng also generously stated that as long as he didn't tell Shen Bing about the advertisement, he would owe Cheng Feng this time, and he would pay him back in full in the future, or even settle the accounts!

Then the two of them reminisced about the past, and finally Cheng Feng asked:
"Xiao Meng, are we still good brothers?"

"What do you think? Rubbish!" Shi Xiaomeng said without hesitation.

"Hahaha!" Hearing this answer, Cheng Feng laughed heartily, because it meant that Shi Xiaomeng forgave him!
Just like that, two people who said one thing and meant another, with hypocritical smiles on their faces and lies spoken against their will, left the basketball hall arm in arm!
After returning, Shi Xiaomeng asked Shen Bing to buy a diamond ring, told her the good news, and took her out for a big meal!
The excited Shi Xiaomeng did not notice that Shen Bing's smile was very forced and he was more silent than ever.

Because Cheng Feng had told her last night that he would do his best to help Xiao Meng get Dade's advertising project!

But no matter what, it's a good thing for Shi Xiaomeng to get a promotion, a raise, and keep his house!
······
At the same time, when Lin Hao returned home, he saw Yang Zixi sitting on the sofa, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Lin Hao took one look at her and knew that this woman had not slept all night, because there were bloodshot in her eyes and it was obvious that she did not sleep well last night.

Lin Hao stepped forward, hugged Yang Zixi and said, "What's wrong, baby!"

Yang Zixi leaned in Lin Hao's arms, her voice trembling as she said:
"You haven't come back for two days. I'm so worried about you!"

Lin Hao touched Yang Zixi's head, then said with a smile:

"You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make it for you right away!"

Yang Zixi bit her lip and followed Lin Hao to the kitchen. She watched Lin Hao cook and wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Lin Hao pretended not to see it.

After a while, Lin Hao prepared breakfast, and Yang Zixi took the breakfast from his hand, then took out the bowl and chopsticks, and the two sat down at the dining table and ate breakfast together.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Lin Hao said:
"Go and turn on the water. Let's take a bath and have a good sleep. I think you didn't sleep all night last night!"

Yang Zixi was stunned for a moment, then after hearing Lin Hao's words, tears slowly gathered in her eyes, but she held them back.

Just as she was about to reach out to wipe it, Lin Hao gently wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers, and then said:
"Go ahead, run the water and prepare for a bath."

Yang Zixi looked up at Lin Hao, then stepped forward and hugged him around the waist, burying her head in Lin Hao's arms, and then she spoke:
"Promise me, don't leave me, okay? I know you're with Lin Xia, I don't care!"

"Even if you marry another woman, I don't care. Please don't abandon me. I will be obedient from now on!"

At this moment, Yang Zixi's eyes were full of tears. She just stared at him, wanting to get a positive answer from him!
Lin Hao looked at Yang Zixi, who was in tears, and gently stroked her back, then said:
"How could I abandon you? I have always liked you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you first!
"Be good and run the water for me. I'm a little tired after tossing and turning all night last night. Let's take a bath together and go to bed, okay?"

Yang Zixi nodded, then left Lin Hao's arms and walked towards the bathroom.

Lin Hao looked at her back meaningfully, then shook his head and smiled. How could he not know Yang Zixi's little thoughts?

Then Lin Hao also walked towards the bathroom, and soon a blushing sound came from inside.
