My Life with Narration

Chapter 615: Chapter 606: The News Brought by Wang Xing

This kind of playing it safe in hindsight, there’s no point in showing off here if the neighbors don’t even bother acknowledging you anymore.

You were nowhere to be found during the fight, and now you show up saying Wang Xing was also there last night? Yet, we still needed the power of the crowd, and he ended up getting kicked a few times?

So it was all his fault!

At this point, he finally understood, this bastard was just here to disgust him. It would’ve been better if he just said he wasn’t in South City last night, at least Su Qing would feel a bit better.

"What’s the deal? You’ve got a rare three-day holiday, and instead of staying home with your girlfriend, you come to me?" Su Qing threw a glance at Wang and retorted.

Hearing this, Wang Xing replied while crunching on an apple, "Hey, just saw some news online this morning, and since Miaomiao heard about something happening with Mumu, she insisted on going over to see. What could I do? Stop her?

So after dropping her off, I came over here. But seriously, man, you’ve been really hot lately, trending topic after trending topic. People would think you’re debuting right where you stand.

You wouldn’t believe how many former classmates have reached out to me, asking what’s going on with you. Tsk tsk, whenever someone gets a little famous, friends start snooping. But don’t worry, I haven’t given your contact to anyone this time."

At this, Su Qing sighed, "You better keep your mouth shut. I don’t even have to think to know they’re probably interested in my relationship with Tang Nan."

Wang Xing nodded, "Yeah, but that’s just part of it. A few were actually asking about how you’re doing lately, including some of our female classmates. Tsk tsk, back in high school, they hardly cared about you, and now they’re pretending we’re best friends."

"No kidding, back in high school, except for Third Sister, the girls in our class didn’t care about anyone. No point in bothering with them," Su Qing said indifferently.

"It’s not them I’m worried about, but guess who contacted me today?" Wang Xing said, a look of mystery on his face.

[Wang Xing’s playing coy, Zhang Chao, embarrassed because of issues at home, wanted to try going through Wang Xing to reach you.]

Hearing the narration in his mind, Su Qing was a bit surprised. Didn’t expect that after what happened, that fool Zhang Chao would see the light.

He even knew to use roundabout tactics, as Zhang Chao realized that even if he called directly, Su Qing wouldn’t talk to him.

"It’s Zhang Chao, right?" Su Qing said, smiling.

Wang Xing stared at him, wide-eyed and speechless.

"Damn, are you possessed by the pen fairy? How can you predict things like this? I’ve thought you were acting odd since last year, and then you suddenly made a fortune. Don’t pretend, just tell me, are you some 99th generation Celestial Master? I promise not to spread it around!"

Su Qing: ...

"Celestial Master, your whole family’s a Celestial Master. Do I look like a monk? And are you sure the pen fairy can possess a Celestial Master? Where’s your brain?"

Facing his retort, Wang Xing chuckled sheepishly, "I’m just expressing my shock, so... is it the pen fairy or the Celestial Master?"

"Get lost!"

"Alright, alright... But back to the point, Zhang Chao did call me today. How’d you know?" Wang Xing asked.

To this, Su Qing sneered, "Not only do I know he called you, but I also know he wants you to help arrange a meeting with me or his dad."

"Damn it, you still say you’re not clairvoyant? Come on, bust it for me, help a brother out!" Wang Xing shouted, exasperated.

There was nothing he could do. Since last year, he found that hanging around with this old classmate, there were no secrets.

"Get lost, you really think I’m a deity? Besides, what do you need me to solve now? Love? You’ve gotten rid of your simp status and scored a sweet, gentle girlfriend. As for finances, did that 300,000 yuan of mine go to the dogs? Tell me, what more do you need fixed?" Su Qing said.

He wasn’t the type to only care for himself. Ever since he got the narrations, people around him had experienced some changes.

Li Zijun avoided a serious injury, Wang Xing got rid of his simp status, even the landlady freed herself from being entangled with her ex-husband, which could have ended worse, and Shen Yi avoided a company crisis.

Lin Miaomiao dodged a situation where she could have been harmed by a pervert. These were relatively big changes, along with countless minor adjustments.

Not to mention, during the stock market turmoil last year, people around him made a bit of money, including Li Zijun.

Among them, Tang Nan and the landlady profited the most, followed by his dad.

In just over half a year, the people around him had seen some changes, whether in finances, emotions, or both, compared to around May last year, things were now so much better.

Hearing this, Wang Xing was taken aback, then gave it some thought and finally spoke with some surprise, "Yeah, I seem to have turned my luck around, damn, you’re really the best, brother, peace and prosperity!"

Saying this, Wang Xing clasped his hands together and bowed to him, treating him like a living god of wealth.

Su Qing: ...

Seeing his rolling eyes, Wang Xing quickly chuckled twice, "When I was in the car coming here, Zhang Chao did call, said he wanted to apologize to you, wanted a meet-up.

You didn’t hear that tone, really sincere. If it wasn’t his number, I would’ve thought it was the wrong person, and he’s actually apologizing, so unlike him?"

"It’s not about style, he’s got no choice. His family’s probably not too peaceful lately." Su Qing said with a cold smile.

Seeing his expression, Wang Xing was instantly intrigued, "Whoa, there’s a story here, let’s hear it!"

"Remember the day in the hospital when I said I was going to have someone deal with his family’s business?"

"Don’t tell me you’ve already taken action?"

"Obviously, if I didn’t do anything, do you think he’d back down? This isn’t an apology, he’s just out of options.

I’ll tell you some inside news, Ning Tong already approached me wanting to apologize, to let the matter slide."

"And?"

"Of course, I ignored her; she’s just a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. Do I have anything to say to her? Besides, we have no beef with her."

"True, but what’s Zhang Chao’s family situation like now?" Wang Xing asked, a bit shocked.

Not just Zhang Chao didn’t take his threats at the hospital seriously, even Wang Xing, Qin Wei, and Ding Qiang thought he was just bluffing. They hadn’t realized he was already taking action behind the scenes.

"Their restaurant—the one we went to for his wedding last year—was shut down for renovation, and a hygiene issue got exposed online. Their supermarket was closed for not meeting fire safety standards. It’s no surprise that Zhang Chao and his wife might not be having a peaceful time, probably arguing now."

Hearing his words, Wang Xing couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "Impressive, no wonder that scoundrel thought to call me; he feared you wouldn’t even want to talk after hearing his voice. Didn’t see that coming, he’s got some brains after all."

"Not necessarily, when has he ever been smart? It’s probably his dad who’s got the brains." Su Qing said with a sneer.

Wang Xing: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

"You mean..."

Su Qing nodded. Knowing Zhang Chao as he did, he was sure the guy wasn’t clever enough to handle such situations, nor would he do something so adaptable. That left only one possibility: his father wanted to negotiate.

"Qingzi... What are you going to do?"

"What to do? Just meet them!"
