I walked down this path, and my family no longer recognized me, including my brother. If you dare to tell my brother that I helped him, you'll be in trouble too!
I continued to play the fool, just making things up; it wasn't difficult at all. Wang Meng was silent for a few seconds before responding, "Alright, this brother I haven't met yet, but taking care of your brother isn't worth this. Tell me who your brother is, and I'll make sure he isn't bullied in Tianchi."
I smiled at that; everything was developing in my favor, and I was satisfied. It was time for me to show my face.
"Okay, my brother is Xiang Dong. He just started working as a waiter here. I noticed that position Kong Jian had earlier would be perfect for him. You handle it from there. But let me remind you one last time: if I see my brother getting hurt, I won't talk to you next time. I'll send you straight to the crematorium, even if you're from Tian Ye Group!"
I threatened him one last time, and Wang Meng replied, "Don't worry, brother. I have the ability to take care of your brother. So what about the payment?"
"As long as you take good care of my brother, I'll let this debt slide."
I responded that I couldn't give him the payment; if I did and he went to Liu Fei to investigate me, it would be a problem. With the debt in hand, he wouldn't dare approach Liu Fei about it.
Wang Meng was silent for a few seconds; he probably realized he wouldn't be getting that payment back. Then I received a simple response: "Okay."
Not long after, Xiao Huang came looking for me and said, "Xiang Dong! What the hell have you done? Manager Wang is looking for you!"
"Oh."
I smiled upon hearing this and nodded. At that moment, all the waiters looked over at me; they must have thought I had offended Manager Wang again and was about to get beaten up.
But sorry to disappoint you; this time I might just shock you all.
"Get going! Seriously, what’s going on in that head of yours? Always causing trouble!" Xiao Huang scolded me. I didn't say anything and walked upstairs with a smile. We'll talk about Xiao Huang's issues later.
Knock knock.
I tapped on Wang Meng's office door, and his voice came from inside: "Come in!"
I pushed the door open and walked in to see Wang Meng smiling at me.
"Xiang Dong, right? Come on, have a seat."
Wang Meng said cheerfully. I froze for a moment in surprise and pretended not to dare sit down as I asked, "Manager Wang, what can I do for you?"
Pretending innocence had its uses; it could make Wang Meng lower his guard around me while he remained unaware of my virtual big brother behind me—quite convenient.
"Oh come on, sit down! I'm actually here with good news for you," Wang Meng said with a grin.
I acted surprised but didn’t say much more; I sat down and asked, "Manager Wang, what good news? I've just started working here and even offended one of your friends a couple of days ago. I'm just glad you didn't fire me."
I spoke honestly; being straightforward often wins people over, right? Wang Meng seemed taken aback by my words; clearly, he had forgotten about that incident from earlier. He quickly replied, "Oh that? No worries! It was my fault for being too angry that day; I shouldn't have reacted like that!"
I smiled and continued to speak honestly, "No, no, it's nothing special."
Then Wang Meng looked at my honest demeanor and chuckled before saying, "You know, over the past couple of days, I've been observing you. I think you have potential. Just now, you saw that Supervisor Kong Jian made a mistake. I'm planning to remove him and replace him with you as the new supervisor. What do you think?"
Huh?
I was utterly shocked! It wouldn’t be right not to be surprised, considering the identity I had fabricated for myself—an honest little brother under the protection of my big brother!
This... this... this doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?
I stammered in disbelief, and Wang Meng laughed heartily at my reaction before saying, "What’s inappropriate about it? If I say you’re the supervisor, then you are! Just like that, I’ll go out in a bit and announce it—you’re the new supervisor! Kong Jian is out!"
Reluctantly, I agreed. Life is tough; it all depends on acting skills. This was the voice of a little undercover agent.
Wang Meng chatted with me more casually, and I played along with his conversation, maintaining my innocent demeanor throughout.
"Hey, Xiang Dong, is it just you at home? Are you an only child?" Wang Meng asked casually. Upon hearing this, my expression instantly turned cold. I replied, "No, I have an older brother, but he’s not very reliable. Let’s not talk about him."
"Oh."
Wang Meng nodded knowingly and said, "Ah, they’re all brothers; what conflicts can’t be resolved? Xiang Dong, family is what matters most. Besides, what could your brother possibly do that would make you not recognize him?"
Wang Meng continued to ask as if we were just chatting. I took a deep breath and sighed heavily, putting on a sorrowful expression as I said, "Brother Wang, you’re right; family is indeed the most important thing. But my brother... heh... I never had the chance to acknowledge him. He doesn’t dare to come out and see me; he has to live in the shadows. If he gets caught by the police, it’s a death sentence."
I seemed to be adding weight to my imaginary older brother’s intimidation factor. I had set up this fictional brother as a hitman, subtly hinting at Wang Meng that he should be afraid!
"Oh."
Wang Meng nodded after hearing this and grinned nervously; clearly, he was frightened. He stopped inquiring about my brother and stood up to say to me, "Alright then, from now on, I’ll be your big brother. Come on! Let’s go outside; I’ll announce that you’re the supervisor!"
Hearing this made me happy; I nodded eagerly and followed Wang Meng outside. I couldn’t help but wonder what expressions Xiao Huang and the others would have upon hearing this news—it must be quite a spectacle!
