Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 99 - 43: Power into the Marrow

With such a thing happening, no one was interested in continuing to the second round, but Shi Xin dragged Fang Zheng and Dapeng to another place to keep drinking.

"It's just a woman, not worth it."

Seeing Shi Xin looking dazed and soulless, just downing drinks non-stop, Dapeng couldn't help but advise:

"There are plenty of women in this world; losing one Zhao Xiuxiu doesn't mean much. Someone like her isn't worth longing for anyway."

"You don't understand!" Shi Xin's voice was hoarse, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

She was his first love, someone he pined for over many years. He finally summoned the courage to confess, only to find she wasn't the person he imagined at all.

Innocent, pure, not materialistic...

Were all those impressions from before merely lies?

Or is human nature simply fickle?

"Hey!"

Dapeng raised an eyebrow:

"I didn't realize you were quite the romantic. Or are you still a virgin?"

"Haha..."

Laughing for a couple of times, his expression froze:

"No way, right?"

Shi Xin looked grim.

"Tsk tsk..." Dapeng clicked his tongue and shook his head, sneering:

"And you went to university for nothing." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Let's not talk about it." Fang Zheng interjected:

"Why be hung up on just one flower when there are so many more in the world? It's just Zhao Xiuxiu. Old Shi, open your heart, you'll definitely meet someone more suitable in the future."

"Exactly."

Dapeng nodded hard:

"You should learn from Monk on this. He got dumped just before last year, bounced back immediately as if nothing happened."

"It wasn't being dumped!" Fang Zheng's eyes widened:

"We parted peacefully."

"Really?" Dapeng smirked:

"Didn't you fail to confess first?"

"Enough!" Fang Zheng was getting frustrated:

"I'm going to get mad!"

"Come on, show me what happens when you're mad..."

"Damn!"

The two messed around and fought a bit, which somewhat improved Shi Xin's mood. He sighed and raised his glass again:

"Let it be."

"It never even started anyway, let bygones be bygones."

"That makes sense," Dapeng said:

"Cheers!"

Fang Zheng raised his glass.

Actually, the other two knew well that Shi Xin wasn't going to move on anytime soon, but in matters like this, others could only offer support, with no real solutions.

You can only say...

It's his nature.

Dapeng, being quite the playboy, couldn't care less about affairs of the heart.

Fang Zheng, on the other hand, wasn't exactly popular with women, or perhaps too used to being let down, had grown accustomed to breakups, quickly moving on.

When faced with such issues, they didn't care that much.

Only Shi Xin,

Raised as the good kid every family envied, unlike others his age, was inexperienced with emotional setbacks, still quite pure.

Or you could say naive.

"Wish them happiness!"

Drinking to the end, Shi Xin said with a lowered head:

"I think Zhao Xiuxiu genuinely likes Young Master Zheng."

"Perhaps," Dapeng shrugged:

"But Young Master Zheng will never be sincere with Zhao Xiuxiu. I've seen guys like him; women are just playthings to them."

"Once bored, they're discarded, changing to a new one."

"Ah!" Shi Xin's face went pale:

"If that's the case, won't Zhao Xiuxiu be heartbroken? What will she do then?"

"Old Shi, that mindset is disastrous," Fang Zheng earnestly said:

"You're not thinking of becoming someone's backup plan, are you? Don't meddle in such affairs; you... you have plenty of choices."

"Yes, yes," Dapeng also got anxious:

"Old Shi, we can't be anyone's backup plan; that would be laughable."

"Don't worry."

Shi Xin waved his hand:

"I won't."

Nevertheless, Dapeng and Fang Zheng exchanged worried glances.

Especially Dapeng.

He had seen all kinds of methods those rich second generations use to toy with women; they'd almost ruin them in no time.

Few ever succeed in returning to normal life after experiencing such extravagant lifestyles.

By then...

Pai Street is likely where they'll end up.

"Hey!"

"Is this Boss Fang? I'm Xiao Li from Celestial Cauldron Decoration. We talked on the phone yesterday; when's a good time for you to come by and take a look at the design plans?"

"Oh!"

Fang Zheng snapped back to reality and rubbed his temples, slightly swollen from a hangover, saying:

"I'll come over in a bit."

"Got it, I'll send you the location."

The new office space, though minimally decorated, was barely workable, but some areas didn't meet his ideas and needed changing.

Especially...

Lacking entertainment facilities.

"I'd like to add some gaming machines and exercise equipment here, place some drinks and snacks here, make the gaming area larger, I need a few big TVs."

Pointing at the design, Fang Zheng gave directions:

"And in my office, make sure there's enough space for resting."

"Boss Fang, you've really thought this through," designer Xiao Wang, his face covered in youthful acne, looked at the design plans with sparkling eyes and said:

"With a boss like you, employees are lucky. How about adding foldable beds for the staff to rest?"

"No way." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"The company is a place for working, how can we let people sleep and waste the salary I pay them?"

"And the games..."

"I like playing games myself; it's boring not being able to call people to play along."

"Uh..."

Xiao Wang's expression turned weird, suppressing his awkwardness as best as he could, said:

"Alright, do you have any other requests?"

"Nothing else." Fang Zheng tapped lightly on the table:

"We'll go with this for now. Calculate how much it'll cost."

"You're only doing minor changes; it's not complicated. Most areas remain unchanged, do you need us to procure the gaming and exercise equipment for you?"

"No need."

"That'll be around 150,000 yuan."

"Hmm."
