Chapter 100: The Effect of Stick Drinking
Looking at Pang Weifeng, who was sloppy, unkempt, and drunk, Gao Jie shook his head secretly, in this former business wizard, he saw only the air of depravity and decadence, no different from the beggars on the street.
The boy looked at his father pitifully, hesitated for a moment, but walked over and snuggled up to him. As the saying goes, the son is not ugly, the dog is not the poor, this child licks the calf deeply, even if Pang Weifeng has been languishing for more than a year, in his heart there is still only his father who loves him and is full of spirit.
Pang Weifeng drank a lot of wine, but he still knew his son, he hugged Ziqing in his arms, and the father and son hugged each other dirty.
Mrs. Pang on the bed struggled to move to the side of the bed at this time, handed the bun in her hand to Pang Weifeng, and said distressedly: "Feng'er, are you hungry? This is the bun bought by Xiao Engong, you eat it quickly, your body is important!"
Pang Weifeng smelled the aroma of the buns, and his stomach gurgled, he reluctantly opened his godless eyes, looked at the fragrant and white buns in front of him, and subconsciously swallowed saliva. He didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but turned his gaze to his mother's face, and said in a somewhat inarticulate voice: "The child is a waste, a useless person, this bun should be eaten by the mother! I deserve to starve to death, the mother is hungry, the child is not filial piety!" After speaking, he suddenly howled hysterically.
Old Madam Pang's tears also fell, she touched Pang Weifeng's weed-like hair lovingly, and choked up: "Son, you are not a waste, you are just weak, you are just weak, you are just those wicked people, your bitter mother understands, understands!"
Pang Weifeng listened, shook his head desperately, and cried unconsciously: "It's me who has no ability, I'm not filial, I'm a waste"
When Gao Jie saw this scene, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching sourness. In his previous life, when his business failed, he was also so decadent for a while, but his failure was because he had no business mind and experience, but the down-and-out Pang Weifeng in front of him was the pride of the shopping mall, and he was completely knocked down by Haoqiang, and he suffered a lot more than he should have suffered at the beginning. Changing places, Gao Jie didn't dare to guarantee that it would be much better than what he was now.
When Gao Jie was sighing in his heart, he suddenly heard Jiao Miao beside him say coldly: "That's right, you are a waste! Your lack of ability is not reflected in business failure, but obviously you have hands and feet, and you are not crippled, but you are willing to fall and let the old mother and young son starve!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room suddenly fell silent.
Gao Jie, Mrs. Pang, and Xiao Ziqing all looked at Jiao Miao in astonishment.
Old Madam Pang and Xiao Ziqing didn't understand how the weak and delicate little scholar in front of them could have such mean and indifferent words popping out of his mouth, they wanted to argue for Pang Weifeng, but they took into account that he was with Xiao Engong, so they just twitched the corners of their mouths a few times, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Gao Jie was a little numb. Today, this kid surnamed Jiao comes out a little weird from time to time, and when he heard his words, Gao Jie just smiled bitterly, and he didn't understand what he was stimulated.
Pang Weifeng's crying also stopped, he stared at Jiao Miao with bloodshot eyes, he was emotional, his lips trembled, and he even said N "you", but he never knew how to refute. These words touched him, no, it stabbed him hard, Pang Weifeng suddenly shouted "ah", and began to bang the back of his head against the wall.
In the exclamations of Mrs. Pang and Ziqing, Gao Jie had already arrived at his side, stretched out his hand and tapped on him, and Pang Weifeng suddenly couldn't move.
Facing his horrified gaze, Gao Jie slowly squatted down in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will be injured, I'm worried that you will collapse this only home that can provide a little shelter from the wind and rain!"
Pang Weifeng was stabbed in the heart again by Gao Jie's words, but he couldn't move, he could only stare wide-eyed, shamefully and angrily at the handsome and somewhat perverted little devil in front of him, and exchanged tears.
Even Jiao Miao behind him widened his eyes, looked at Gao Jie's back, and secretly admired in his heart: "I didn't expect this guy to be more ruthless than me!"
Gao Jie ignored the strange gazes of Mrs. Pang and Xiao Ziqing, and just stared at Pang Weifeng with big eyes.
After listening to Jiao Miao's words, Gao Jie quickly understood what he meant, and secretly thought that this stimulation therapy might be of some use, since he had already taken care of this matter, then he should take care of it to the end, and he might as well sprinkle some salt and pepper on Pang Weifeng's wound, so that he could feel painful, maybe he could wake up!
Gao Jie stared at Pang Weifeng with a smile, and didn't say a word until his momentum weakened, and then he spoke: "Don't be unconvinced, you are like this now, even your son is not as good! Grandma is hungry, he knows how to beg for it, and even steal and rob, even if he is beaten, scolded and spurned, he must try his best to take care of this family." He stole three buns this morning, one of which was stolen from you, a big man in the prime of life, because he was afraid that you would be hungry, because you were his father, because you were his family!"
After saying this in one breath, Gao Jie took a breath, and saw that the shame and anger on Pang Weifeng's face were only shame, so he continued: "Ziqing has fallen, will he get up! Tell me, are you okay?!"
Pang Weifeng's eyebrows lowered, he didn't dare to look at Gao Jie's eyes, but he kept sobbing.
Gao Jie shouted loudly and angrily: "Are you dumb?!I didn't order your dumb, what are you pretending to be?!"
The people in the room were all startled by his voice, Xiao Ziqing didn't understand why this good brother was so angry, he timidly stretched out his little hand and touched the back of Gao Jie's hand, but he didn't dare to hold it. Gao Jie grabbed his small hand in the palm of his hand, smiled and nodded to him in reassurance.
Pang Weifeng was yelled, and it took a long time to mutter: "My arms can't twist my thighs, our Pang family is finished!"
Gao Jie snorted coldly and said, "Even if you don't have a rich life, don't you still have hands and feet?
Pang Weifeng said: "But I don't know anything but business." Besides, I've read so many books, wouldn't it be a shame to go out and work as a coolie?"
When Gao Jie heard this, he laughed angrily: "Are you stupid at reading? Won't you just go to study, aren't you proud of yourself? Can't you even learn to sweep the floor tiles? In fact, you only said your true thoughts in the second half of the sentence, that is, you want to die to save face and suffer crimes! You now look like a drunkard and a gambler, will you have more face than a coolie?!"
Pang Weifeng finally fell silent. He was born into a rich family, since he was a child, he has been smooth sailing, he has not experienced any ups and downs, this time he has planted too hard and too big, and he is pretentious and arrogant, and he completely collapsed. He is a person with a high level of understanding, although Gao Jie's words just now, although they were bitter and vicious, they really woke him up.
Looking at the thoughtful Pang Weifeng, Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to untie his acupoint, and then got up and smiled apologetically at Old Madam Pang: "Old man, the kid is abrupt, please forgive me!"
Mrs. Pang is not an ordinary person, she has long understood Gao Jie's deep meaning, her face was full of grateful smiles, and hurriedly said: "Engong's words can be tormenting the old body, our family is too late to thank you, how can there be the slightest sense of blame! In fact, Feng'er has always been very filial and capable! He was persecuted by others and lost all the property left by his ancestors, and he was very bitter in his heart, and he would go out to fool around when he couldn't think about it for a while." Today, Engong has a golden and jade good words, I believe he will listen to it and cheer up!"
Gao Jie nodded and said with a smile: "That's good! let him think about it more, I hope it will be as you wish!"
Just as he was about to beckon Jiao Miao to leave, he suddenly saw Pang Weifeng holding Pang Ziqing and struggling to stand up from the ground, he bowed deeply to Gao Jie, and said solemnly: "Pang Weifeng was confused for a while, and almost ruined the whole family, thank you for your guidance! I have thought it out now, and I will go out to find something to do later, no matter how hard and tired I am, I will not let my mother and son starve and freeze again!"
Gao Jie looked at Pang Weifeng's determined gaze, and his heart was full of complacency. I didn't expect that I would save a family that was on the verge of collapse like this, and that feeling of satisfaction and joy was really helpful. At the same time, he also had to secretly give Pang Weifeng a thumbs up, this guy is worthy of the name of a genius, his understanding is really high, and he can be reinvigorated in such a short period of time, he is really a rare talent.
In fact, after listening to the boss tell the Pang family about the Pang family in the bun shop, Gao Jie moved his mind. Isn't he worried that he can't find a reliable person who knows how to do business to help him take care of the Wang family's huge business, faintly, he feels that this Pang Weifeng may be the person he is looking for.
He has a reputation as a proud son in the business world, and can grow his ancestral business several times in his hands, which shows that he is indeed a good businessman; and in order to stabilize the price of grain, he was suppressed by the powerful and went bankrupt, which shows that he is a kind and honest person; from the fact that he rose up to resist in order to prevent his son from being injured, it shows that he has always loved his son; he did not take the buns given to him by his mother, but let his mother eat them by herself, which shows that his filial piety is still there, and from the mouth of Mrs. Pang, it also proves that he is a filial son.
Gao Jie saw every bit of detail just now, and it also gave him a deeper and more three-dimensional understanding of this Pang Weifeng, a kind and filial person should be considered reliable, of course, you can observe and understand more in the future, and trust is cultivated.
Originally, he was afraid that he would not be able to cheer him up, a fallen genius was not as good as an ordinary man, who knew that under his own drink, his eyes were firm, and he had the idea of cheering up, it seems that he only needs to work harder, he will really stand up again and become his right-hand man.
Looking at Gao Jie's eyes with spring in his eyes, staring at himself stupidly, Pang Weifeng's heart suddenly became a little weak, and he hugged Ziqing in his arms, as if a beauty was being targeted by a hooligan, he was at a loss and cramped.
Jiao Miao also noticed something abnormal, and coughed in time, and Gao Jie woke up from his imagination.
He laughed awkwardly and said to Pang Weifeng: "Congratulations Uncle Pang, you can start again, I'm so happy, haha!"
Pang Weifeng is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an uncle at the age of fifteen. Pang Weifeng nodded seriously and said, "Engong, today's bun money can only be owed first, and you tell me your address, and when I earn my first salary, I will pay it back twice immediately!"
Gao Jie waved his hand and said: "No need, we are not locals, we are doing something in Puzhou, and we will leave in a few days." It's not easy to cheer up, the first thing is to quit drinking and gambling, don't let us down!"
Pang Weifeng smiled slightly: "I, Pang Mou, am also a man, since I said it, I will definitely do it!"
Gao Jie nodded with a smile, then touched Pang Ziqing's messy hair, and said with a smile: "Since you want to start again, you must have a good start! I promised Ziqing in the morning that I would invite him to lunch, so that you and I will go to the bathhouse first, and take a bath in the mixed hall, so that you can really be regarded as a change of heart!"
Gao Jie almost forgot that although there was a public bathhouse in the Ming Dynasty, the name was "Mixed Hall", and when it came to bathhouses, I was afraid that it would take another half a day to explain.
When Pang Weifeng heard this, he was embarrassed and cramped, and when Gao Jie saw it, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "The money for the bath is mine! I know you don't want to owe others a favor, and after taking a bath, let's talk about what to do, okay?"
Pang Weifeng looked at his son's dirty and messy appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
