More Than A Few Blessing

Chapter 14: Wrist

In the evening, the whole department went to dinner together, but since they had to go to work the next day, they didn't stay up late. After the dinner, all of them went to separate ways. But before they separated, everyone told Lu Chengyu that they would call him if there were any gathering in the future.

Lu Chengyu smiles and agreed. He drove back and reach home before 10 p.m. After taking bath, he couldn't sleep so he lay on the sofa with his laptop. Chengyu surf the Cape Forum and he takes part in a thread. This thread's OP, who is a five-cent sockpuppet[2], loves to say that the foreign's moon is rounder [1]. Chengyu drives the OP to the corner for a while,  and when the other party has already burned with a frenzy of rage, Chengyu calmly closes the forum.

[1] 马甲 mǎ jiǎ: sockpuppet (Internet slang); When a real person registers more than 1 IDs in the same forum and uses them at the same time, the commonly used or well-known ID is generally called the primary ID, and the other ID is called the sockpuppet ID.

[2] There is such an allusion that when a person returns from a foreign country, he feels that foreign countries are better than his hometown.

It's his usual style to throw his hand and walks away when other parties stomp in anger. Although this style makes some people in the Cape Forum mad at him, he is firm and unrepentant.

As usual, he goes to search online on the latest information about Liang Deyou. Then he saw a news story about Mr Liang stepping aside to the second line and gave his only son to take over Liang Company.

Liang Deyou's father, Liang Guoming is an example of an individual who starts from scratch before he becomes rich. In his early years, he was the workshop director of the state-owned enterprises. Later, he went into business in Shanghai. Fortunately, it was a good time to find gold. He earned a lot of money. Later, he began to invest in the real estate industry. He also encountered with the great opportunity of soaring houses' price. Now, he is a well-known big boss in the industry. He only has one son, Liang Deyou and for many years, there are no beautiful women from outside are able to enter his family.

“Liang family…” said Lu Chengyu while picking up the pickled chicken feet [3] on the table and slowly chew it. He points the mouse over the photo of father and son. From the top to bottom of Liang Guoming's body, he can be seen as nouveau riche. No matter how expensive his clothes are, one can see his origin from a glance. On the other hand, Liang Deyou looks like a rich family. After chewing the pickled chicken feet, Lu Chengyu looks painfully at the chicken's bone on his hand and then look at the trash can that's a few meters away from him. Then he gets an idea. He took two paper towels and placed them on the coffee table. Next, he tossed the bones on the towels and decided to throw them into the trash can after he had eaten the pickled chicken feet. His sitting posture on the sofa now is comfortable and he too lazy to move.

Since there is no other news on Liang, Lu Chengyu hacked Huangchuan's computer through the network to find out what he plans to do. He discovers that Huangchuan is planning to invest money into a film in the near future but he still lacks some funds.

Although there are a lot have changed in his life now, there are several things which are the same as his past life. For example, Liang Deyou begins to learn how to manage Liang Company and Huangchuan still planning to invest in films, but the most profitable film, 《Soaring Birds》 is in his hand.

After clearing all his tracks on Huangchuan's computer, Lu Chengyu opens a new pack of pickled chicken feet and continue to chew. Then he starts to watch a live men's football match online. When he saw the team has lost the game, he shook his head with a sigh. Maybe, no matter in this life or past life, the only thing that's guaranteed to remain unchanged is the □□ men's football.
