At the table, Ye Ling became the well-deserved protagonist.
Wei Zhendong looked at Cai Delu's deliberate ingratiating attitude and was completely convinced by his nephew.
Cai Delu was already considered half a person to be able to get to where he was today, but he was able to be controlled by Ye Ling so submissively that his posture was almost as low as the soil.
Today was destined to be the most unforgettable day for Liu Shuanzhu.
In the past, a person like Cai Delu was an existence that he could not reach for his entire life. To put it bluntly, he was not even worthy of carrying Cai Delu's shoes!
But now, he could actually eat at the same table as Cai Delu. It was simply like a dream!
In the morning, he was still a hooligan who only dared to smoke half a cigarette at a time. Now, there was an entire pack of Zhonghua cigarettes in front of him, and the glass was full of Moutai. After drinking it, someone would pour it for him!
Liu Shuanzhu knew very well that all of this was brought to him by this young man.
Unknowingly, Liu Shuanzhu's eyes had turned red. He picked up his wine glass and stood up abruptly."Yours Truly! You are my benefactor! Today is the first time in my life that I feel like I'm living like a human! You are my second parent! From now on, I'll leave my cheap life in your hands! If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken…I…I respect you!”
Liu Shuanzhu gulped down a mouthful of wine. He staggered and almost knocked over the chair. The person beside him held him up.
Liu Shuanzhu's sudden appearance silenced the room.
Cai Delu looked thoughtfully at Liu Shuanzhu's drunken state and thought to himself," So he's a new recruit. No wonder his temperament can't keep up."
However, Cai Delu could tell that Liu Shuanzhu was not lying.
He had seen too many fake expressions of loyalty. He could basically tell whether a person was sincere or not.
To be able to subdue a person who looked so much older than him to such an extent, this youth's ability to control people was truly impressive.
Ye Ling, on the other hand, had goosebumps from Liu Shuanzhu's teasing. He waved his hand and said,""It's fine as long as you have it in your heart. Don't say such mushy words in the future. I'm not used to it.”
Then, Ye Ling picked up the wine dispenser and downed it in one gulp, his expression unchanged.
"Brother Ye, you have a good alcohol tolerance!"
Lu Tiekui clapped his hands and praised angrily.
As they toasted, the few of them quickly became familiar with each other and began to address each other as brothers.
Although Ye Ling looked very young, they all chose to avoid Ye Ling's age.
Cai Delu even felt that calling himself brother might be a little arrogant, but he couldn't call Ye Ling brother. That would be too outrageous. Fortunately, Ye Ling didn't show any signs of disgust.
"Beep beep beep!"
Wei Zhendong's beeper rang. He picked it up and looked at it. He stood up and said,"Everyone, I have something to do.”
Ye Ling nodded.”
Liu Shuanzhu was so drunk that he started talking.
Cai Delu ordered a subordinate to help Liu Shuanzhu.
"Brother Ye, since you're so outstanding, your parents must be extraordinary.”
Cai Delu's eyes were blurred, as if he was already drunk.
Ye Ling's wine cup paused for a moment.
Cai Delu's heart tightened and he hurriedly said,"I'm being presumptuous. I'll punish myself with a glass!”
"My parents are ordinary workers," Ye Ling said lightly.”
Cai Delu was stunned when he heard this, but he did not believe it at all. He thought that Ye Ling was just making up nonsense and did not want to reveal his background, so he agreed," It's good to be a worker. I used to be a worker too. I really miss it. At that time, I was busy with production and construction. I was as tired as a dog, but I just had the energy to do it endlessly. After that, I don't know why, but it started to change. No matter how hard I worked, it was boring..."
As Cai Delu spoke, the alcohol kicked in. He recalled the past and could not help but feel sad.
"We workers have power ~~~"
Ye Ling was speechless. This guy actually started singing!
"I'm busy with work every day!"
"Hey, busy with work every day!"
Ye Ling turned around and saw Lu Tiekui, who had almost finished his drink, singing as well. He clapped his hands and sang.
"It's built into a high-rise building!"
"They built the railway and coal mine!"
Everyone in the room began to sing.
Ye Ling silently looked at the group of men who had forgotten themselves while singing.
Although he had never experienced the changes of this era, nor had he ever been a worker, he could vaguely detect traces of pain in this passionate and slightly off-key song.
Why did he feel pain? Why did he miss her?
Ye Ling wasn't sure.
However, he knew that people were often the most painful when they were certain that they would never get back what they lost.
The people sitting in this room were the first wave of people who had become rich under the reform and opening up. They had received far more than others.
And what did they lose…
Conscience? Pure? Morality? Passion? Justice?
"Haha."
Ye Ling rubbed his temples and smiled lightly. He had drunk a little too much and was actually feeling emotional.
These guys who were reminiscing about their innocence at the table would soon return to their original appearance after waking up from their drunkenness. They would become the fiercest wolves and eat any fat meat that appeared in front of them.
In an era of great change, one would not be able to go far with a conscience.
To him, conscience, justice, morality... These nihilistic things had disappeared from the moment he locked the bedroom door.
