Chapter 1788 - 1874: Phoenix New City
This definitely calls for special treatment.Feng Tianxiang arrived quickly. When he saw Su Xuan and Monkey, he greeted them warmly and then said,
"Brother Monkey, although this is your hometown, you definitely aren’t as familiar with it as I am. Today, I’ll take you to try some of Phoenix New City’s specialties!"
The three of them arrived at a street food stall, Su Xuan and Monkey sat down casually, and Feng Tianxiang ordered a dozen or so specialty dishes and a lot of barbecue.
"Su Xuan, you’re really something! You had a son without saying a word to me. Here, take this; don’t think it’s too little!"
Feng Tianxiang said as he handed a red envelope to Su Xuan, which made Su Xuan feel quite awkward.
"Oh no, Tianxiang, how could I accept this? I haven’t even treated you to a meal, how can I accept a gift?"
Su Xuan quickly replied.
"It’s necessary, just for good luck. Brother Su, Brother Monkey, I haven’t seen you in years, but I’ve always been grateful to you. I always wanted to call you, but I couldn’t get through!"
Feng Tianxiang raised a glass of wine, speaking with a face full of sincerity.
"Grateful to us?"
Su Xuan and Monkey were a bit confused. Actually, Su Xuan vaguely remembered Feng Tianxiang as a classmate, but had almost forgotten him, and Monkey didn’t have much impression either.
"Don’t you remember, the rooftop incident that shook Huaqing University back in the day!"
Feng Tianxiang said a bit sheepishly.
"Oh, oh..."
Su Xuan patted his head and laughed; he finally understood. So it was this guy, no wonder he looked familiar.
Back in university, Feng Tianxiang, due to his low self-esteem and heartbreak, actually attempted suicide by jumping off a building. Luckily, Su Xuan lunged and grabbed his hand, while Monkey grabbed Su Xuan’s leg, saving Feng Tianxiang.
But Su Xuan and Monkey had long forgotten about it. After all, for busy people like them, forgetting is quite normal.
Now that it was brought up, Su Xuan remembered, and was surprised at Feng Tianxiang’s gratitude.
"How are you now?"
Su Xuan looked at Feng Tianxiang, having a good impression of him, understanding now why he was so attentive to him and Monkey.
A person who shows gratitude and always remembers their benefactor is typically not a bad person.
"Yes, I’m doing well now. To be honest, I’m really thankful that you saved me then, giving me a second chance at life. Now I feel filled with positivity every day, and life is full of passion."
"Are you working at Xincheng too?"
Su Xuan noticed he was wearing a blue collar uniform from Xincheng, indicating he was a skilled worker.
"Yes, quite a few of our classmates work at Xincheng. Today, I’m just off duty!"
Feng Tianxiang said happily, and Su Xuan and Monkey could tell that he was truly happy, having a genuine contentment. Life doesn’t have to be complicated; happiness is a day, and unhappiness is a day. Ever since Su Xuan and Monkey risked their lives to save him, Feng Tianxiang vowed to live life well.
"Brother Su, you must accept this red envelope; treat it as a gift for meeting your son."
Su Xuan nodded and said thanks, knowing that Feng Tianxiang’s gratitude towards him and Monkey was immense.
"Tianxiang, how’s the salary at your job there?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"Good... really quite good, I have four days off each month, and after buying insurance, my salary is over five thousand yuan, I’m really content. When I first entered society, I thought I could change the world. But after so many setbacks, I’ve come to realize that I just want to work hard at Xincheng, progressing step by step. Maybe someday I’ll earn a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan!"
Feng Tianxiang said earnestly.
Su Xuan and Monkey were amused by his candidness, and Monkey patted his shoulder, saying,
"Ten thousand yuan is already waving at you. So, what’s your biggest goal?"
"Hehe, now I’m a team leader in the workshop. My ambition is to become the workshop supervisor. You guys won’t laugh at me, right?"
"Of course not. Actually, my salary might not even be higher than yours,"
Su Xuan said with a smile, rubbing his nose.
"Haha, let’s not talk about that, let’s drink!"
The three of them happily drank together. Just then, Su Xuan looked at his phone; Boss had finally messaged.
"Monkey, send me your location. I’ve just arrived at Phoenix New City and I’m coming to find you two. How dare you go solo without me!"
As soon as Boss sent this message, it set off a thousand ripples. No one expected that the man soon to be promoted to mayor had actually arrived at Phoenix New City.
"Boss, don’t joke with me, Chengdu is far from here,"
Monkey messaged back.
"Why would I lie to you? Less talk, more action. I’m here on business in Phoenix New City; I didn’t know you were getting engaged without telling me!"
"You really came!"
Su Xuan was also surprised and quickly asked.
"Cough, cough... Let me give you a little spoiler; there’s an 80% chance I’m being transferred to your area, thought I’d get familiar with it first."
Boss sent a mischievous emoji, and once again, it stirred quite a commotion. Having connections in the capital certainly makes things easier; congratulatory messages flooded in, and several beauties sent hearts.
Boss was definitely a hot bachelor now.
"I’m at a food stall, come, I’ll save you a drumstick!"
After Su Xuan sent out his location, Boss responded with an OK gesture and didn’t message again, while the small group chat exploded once more.
"Class president, organize something; the future big boss of Phoenix New City!"
"Yeah, yeah, class president..."
This news was like a ticking bomb, the peak of flattery.
About half an hour later, Boss indeed arrived, accompanied by two attendants, clearly bodyguards.
"Boss, going incognito, aren’t we?"
"Cough, cough, get lost, you aren’t happy unless you tease me!"
Boss pushed Su Xuan aside, sat down, and grabbed a drumstick to eat.
Feng Tianxiang helped serve more food.
"You two live like gods, I only look good on the outside, not even as well-off as a beggar compared to you, I’m starving!"
Boss ate ravenously.
"Pfft..."
Su Xuan and Monkey, seeing his eating manner, thought this was not the appearance of a County Magistrate.
"Boss, you are one of a kind; when I tried to gift you a sports car, you ended up asking for a bicycle!"
