A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 36 Young Master Wen's Feigned Seriousness

"Brothers, we're all the same age, so let's just pretend all those formalities don't exist. You can just call me 'I'm Extraordinary,' and I'll call you by your names too. It'll sound smoother that way. Lü Tie, Guan Gong, what do you say?"

Chao Bufan, who was calling people by their first name and full name for the first time without using their full names, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He was now determined to make these friends.

In fact, this was the first time he had made friends since his rebirth. In his previous life, Tianyue had very few true friends, let alone Falcon. In the past few years, apart from his teammates, he could say he had no friends at all. Therefore, he was determined to befriend Lü Tie and his group from the bottom of his heart.

"OK!"

Lu Tie snapped his fingers and laughed, "Aside from at the company, we usually address each other by our first names. It seems, Mr. Chao... oh, no, Bufan, you're quite an easygoing person too!"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "It's good to be easygoing. That way, it shows that there's no distance between brothers."

Xu Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Bufan, you must have just arrived recently, right?"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, we just arrived."

Lu Tie stood up and said, "Bu Fan, welcome to our 'Brothers' Apartment'! To show my welcome, it's my treat tonight. Let's go to the Emperor Hotel, guys!"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Brothers, let me treat you to dinner tonight!"

"How can this be! You're new here, it's not right for you to treat us. Come on, let's go eat! Consider this a welcome meal for you."

At the Emperor Hotel, the five of them booked a private room and enjoyed a hearty meal and drinks.

……

So, during Qi Minghao's wedding that day, as soon as Wen Shao returned home, he saw the servants greeting him with such a ridiculous tone. He immediately guessed that they must have seen him make a fool of himself at Qi Minghao's wedding on TV. He was instantly furious and flew into a rage, unleashing a torrent of abuse on the servants, venting all his anger on them. The servants were thoroughly bewildered and felt incredibly aggrieved.

Wen Shao's hatred for Chao Bufan was utterly ingrained. He had thought Tang Qianqian, the heiress of the Tang Group, would be his for the taking, but who knew that a rival like Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere? What was infuriating was that the damned guy had snatched his prey away with just a few words—utterly despicable. Even more infuriating was that at the wedding ball during the day, that damned guy had used some underhanded tricks to make him look like a fool in front of everyone. Losing face then was bad enough, but it was being broadcast live—that was utterly humiliating! He had thought he could use the media to teach that damned guy a lesson, but damn it, who knew that damned guy turned out to be a dance prodigy? Wasn't this just forcing him to become famous?

They tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; they suffered a huge loss!

When he saw Chao Bufan's smug and arrogant appearance, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp knife; the pain was beyond words.

If looks can kill, then his sharp and angry gaze would pierce Chao Bufan a thousand times.

If anger could burn, then his nameless rage would reduce the extraordinary to ashes.

After berating the servants, he locked himself in his room and ignored everyone who knocked.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Qin Shiming, the young master of the Qin family, came to see him. He knocked on the door for a long time before Wen Shao slowly opened it. He thought it was his mother coming to nag him endlessly again, so he said impatiently, "Mom~ I told you not to bother me, why are you..."

Upon seeing that it was Young Master Qin, he quickly changed his address: "What brings you here?"

Qin Shao was also present at the wedding during the day. He saw Wen Shao leave angrily and knew he couldn't handle the blow, so he ignored him. He came to find him in the evening, wanting to take him out to relax. So he smiled and entered uninvited, saying, "Wen Shao, why are you making things difficult for yourself? This isn't like the Wen Shao I know."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao gave a wry smile and said, "Young Master Qin, if you're here to mock me, then get out; if you're here for something else, then spit it out. I'm not in the mood to waste my breath on you right now."

Qin Shao smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying. We're best buddies, how could I possibly make fun of you? Come on, I'll take you to a fun place."

Wen Shao walked to the bedside with his head hanging low and a frustrated look on his face. He plopped down on the bed and said, "I'm not in the mood. I'm not going."

"No way, Young Master Wen, this isn't the Young Master Wen I know." Young Master Qin said confidently, "I guarantee that once you go there, you'll want to go back a second time. And no matter what troubles you have, once you get there, all your troubles will disappear."

Wen Shao glanced at Qin Shao, noticing his shifty eyes, and immediately guessed what was going on. He shook his head and said, "No interest, I'm not going."

Qin Shao grinned lewdly and pulled Wen Shao's hand, saying, "Let's go! I heard that a few foreign girls just arrived there, and they're really hot! Especially their breasts, which are almost as big as footballs."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shao's eyes lit up, but then his eyelids drooped again, and he said indifferently, "I'm really not interested. I'm not going. You can go by yourself!"

Qin Shao caught the fleeting, mischievous glint in Wen Shao's eyes. Knowing Wen Shao's personality, he knew he had a taste for this kind of thing, so he laughed and said, "You, stop pretending and let's go! These are top-quality, first-hand goods. It wouldn't be fun if someone else had already played with them. You don't know how much effort I put into getting them to agree to this deal. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

After saying that, Qin Shao pulled Wen Shao up, but Wen Shao shook off Qin Shao's hand and said angrily, "Alright, alright, why are you pulling me? Honestly. Let me ask you, what you just said, was it true?" What he said and what he did were completely different things.

"Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true," Qin Shao replied seriously.

Wen Shao thought for a moment, then said, "If you're lying to me, I might..."

"If I were lying to you, you could have just..." Qin Shao extended his index and middle fingers and made a scissor gesture, meaning "castrate me."

Wen Shao hesitated for a moment, then a lewd smile appeared on his face, sweeping away the gloom from before, and he laughed, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

As he reached the door, Wen Shao suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Wait, I need to get something."
