Chapter 460 - 434: Brother Lang's Anger
Chapter 460: Chapter 434: Brother Lang’s Anger
Xiao Qian was treating patients, and after Yu Minglang had finished inspecting the exam venue, he sat in the makeshift command center to rest, casually ignoring the admiring glances thrown at him by several radio station staff members.
It was relatively rare to see this special form of recruitment domestically.
He had no idea what the ratings would look like after the broadcast, but a handsome young boss like him was sure to attract a lot of attention from the opposite sex.
“Young boss, the list of candidates for the selection is here, you should review it. Are you not in a good mood?” Qiao Zhen passed the information to him, asking an extra question.
The young boss of his had an unusually gloomy expression.
After working together for so long, others might not notice, but Qiao Zhen spotted it immediately. Yu Minglang was in a very bad mood right now.
Usually, when Yu Minglang was selecting new hires, he was always very active, examining every candidate in detail. But today, after setting up the exam venue, he was listlessly sitting there with a stern face.
“Are you in a good mood?” Yu Minglang retorted Qiao Zhen. Qiao Zhen could tell he was upset, and Yu Minglang could also tell that Qiao Zhen was beyond pleased. His eyes and eyebrows, flaunting an overbearing arrogance, his face heavily oiled as if he had just received satisfaction, was quite annoying to look at.
“I’m okay, hehe, young boss, I might get married this summer.” Qiao Zhen scratched his head, Yu Minglang was drinking water at that moment, hearing him say that, he spewed out a mouthful of water.
“Married?!”
“Yes, getting married.” He had no choice but to get married. Remembering the night before, Qiao Zhen couldn’t help but show an extremely satisfied expression, stabbing directly into Yu Minglang’s heart from the front.
“With whom?!” Yu Minglang was greatly shocked.
Marry my ass! He had just gotten engaged to Qian Bao and had not even had a hot meal yet, Qiao Zhen, who had been consistently mocked by Yu Minglang as a single pringle, was suddenly single no more and had skipped the stages of dating and engagement, going straight for marriage?!
This was a brutal hit, an absolute brutal hit!
“With Xiao Yu, hehe…after going around in circles, I realized the most suitable person was right beside me. She just happens to turn 20 this summer. I’ll buy a wedding ring and we’ll get married!”
Thump, thump, my heart!
Yu Minglang massaged his temples, had he really not misheard?
“The two of you were playing this sibling game before, wasn’t that good? How did you suddenly decide to get married?!”
Isn’t this a huge leap?
“Actually, we had feelings for each other before. But we were hesitant because we grew up like siblings. However, since last night, after what I did, I had to take responsibility. Why did I do what I did then, hehe…it’s because I liked her…”
Boys’ secrets are only shared between bros!
The bro was shocked.
“Yesterday?! What happened to you?!!”
Yu Minglang was busy taking care of patients with Xiao Qian, completely preoccupied with nothing else on his mind. Afterwards, he even had a few drinks with his future father-in-law, chatting about life and stuff.
“Didn’t I arrange a hotel room for Xiao Yu yesterday? There was a bit of an incident, Xiao Yu got drunk, and then we opened our hearts and shared our true feelings with each other, only then we realized that we had been beating around the bush before…”
“Talking led to marriage? I can’t believe it.” Yu Minglang couldn’t help but express, twisting his fingers. No way, he had to beat this guy up today!
If it were said that cancelling the hotel room in 15 minutes had caused Yu Minglang a ton of damage, then the shocking news of Qiao Zhen’s unexpected consummation was equivalent to a 5 ton bomb!
Without comparison, there would be no sense of injury. At this moment, these words floated through Yu Minglang’s heart: it’s so unfair!
He and Xiao Qian had been dating properly, step by step, and even though they had gotten engaged, he hadn’t even gotten a taste of the deal yet. But Qiao Zhen, who had effortlessly and lightly skipped all those painstaking steps that Yu Minglang had gone through, went directly to the result. How could it not make Yu Minglang feel envious, jealous, and resentful!
If Qiao Zhen was in his usual state of mind, he would have noticed that the young boss was about to start throwing punches. But at this moment, Qiao Zhen was immersed in the joy of recently becoming a “bridegroom”, oblivious to Yu Minglang’s unhappiness, still savoring the sweet process.
“She was drunk and was playing with the hamster, which happened to fall down her collar…”
“Shameless…” Yu Minglang couldn’t stand to listen anymore.
This was simply despicable.
It seemed to him that the world was cruel only to him. He had been abiding strictly by the rules, wanting to stop the car and enjoy the view of the sunset with his fiancée. After several failed attempts, he was ready to burst with frustration. And here comes someone flaunting their good fortune, how could it not be annoying?
“Young boss, there really is a difference between women and men, right? Have you ever had a sense of transformation?”
Guys, when they’re together, like to exchange their little thoughts. But this time, Qiao Zhen chose the wrong person for this exchange.
He thought that since Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian had been engaged for so long and their relationship was so good, it must have gone beyond that point already, he had no idea that Yu Minglang’s several attempts to make a move ended up in “emergency brakes”, leaving him frustrated.
Qiao Zhen, unaware of Yu Minglang’s sad past, ran over to “share his experiences”, poking the hornet’s nest.
Ignoring Yu Minglang’s almost explosive look, he was still talking to himself.
“Actually, I was a bit impulsive. I should have thought it over more thoroughly. But this way, at least I can see my feelings clearly. After I finished, I wanted to call my dad and tell him about the marriage. He will probably be angry, but I’m prepared for the long-term struggle.”
Qiao Zhen had made up his mind this time. He had finally seen his true feelings, and he wanted to seize this love.
“Oh…you’re prepared, then?” Yu Minglang stopped moving his hands and started moving his legs instead.
“Yes, Xiao Yu is right. Our parents will find it hard to accept. Even though they’ve been calling us their children for many years, becoming their son-in-law overnight might cause some discomfort. It’s pretty normal. I need to overcome all difficulties. Since I dared to do it, I have to take responsibility. A man must have responsibility and commitment. I’m just afraid that if I don’t do it right, she’ll be left in the lurch.”
Alcohol and the hamster, actually, were just excuses.
If he didn’t have feelings, how could he not withstand such a small test?
The identity that had been bothering him before vanished after a night, and now Qiao Zhen had firmly decided that he would take responsibility for what he had done. Besides, he had liked her for a long time, it was a matter of course that they were getting married, since there was no blood relation between them.
Yu Minglang stood up, asked in a somewhat dangerous tone, “Are you prepared to be beaten by me?”
“Huh? Why would you want to beat me?” Qiao Zhen finally came back to his senses from dreaming about his future, looking at Yu Minglang perplexed.
Yu Minglang delivered a flying kick, Qiao Zhen narrowly dodged it but was hit in the face by his incoming fist. Why would he hit him for no reason?
“Why are you hitting me?”
“Because I can’t stand you, that’s why!”
Can jealousy ever be justly explained?
