The Foolish Gong was Reborn

Beijing, Qingwu Bar.

A casually dressed man leaned back in the sofa, the dim lights in the bar hitting his face such that his tall nose and deep features were accentuated.
He was an undeniably handsome guy.

He lowered his eyes and drank glass after glass.

After a while, a man with his hair combed back came over and sat down beside him.
He poked at the wine bottles on the table with his finger and asked helplessly, “How much did you drink?”

Qin Zhongyue snorted, “I won’t get drunk even after a thousand glasses.”

As he said that, he sat up and poured a glass of wine for the man with his hair combed back called Li Jun, “You drink too.”

Li Jun declined, “No thanks, I’m quitting drinking and smoking.
But will your other half at home let you drink like this? Don’t go back and kneel on a washboard because of this.”

Qin Zhongyue said, “I now have the final say at home, he doesn’t dare lecture me.
I can drink as much as I want.”

Li Jun asked with some doubt, “Really?”

Qin Zhongyue heard the doubt in his voice.
Feeling a little annoyed, he raised his voice, “Of course.
Let me tell you, I was just too lazy to reign him in before so he thought he could do anything he wanted to.
Now that I am taking it more seriously, he knows he can’t get on my bad side.”

Li Jun said, “Ohhh, the hen-pecked husband has now turned around and become the master.
You don’t often see this.
You should call out a few brothers tomorrow to have some fun and celebrate.”

Qin Zhongyue: “What kind of joke is that? I have a wife.”

He then advised bluntly, “Be careful not to get sick.”

Li Jun laughed and said, “I get a physical examination every three to five days so I would be the last one to get sick.
But don’t you think that it’s a pity that you got married so early?”

Rich youngsters like them all liked to play, only Qin Zhongyue was special and got married at the age of twenty-two.
Since then, five years had passed.
There are no impenetrable walls in this world; everyone knew that his wife came from a bad background and is also a man.
They didn’t know what kind of charm he possessed.

Qin Zhongyue heard Li Jun’s words and poured a few more glasses of wine.
He was starting to have difficulty holding back his words, “There are some things that I have been holding back inside me.
I’m only telling you this because I regard you as a brother.” (KKnotes: A good friend)

As soon as Li Jun heard this, he grew interested.
He leaned closer, “Tell me.”

Qin Zhongyue was a little drunk.
His pale cheeks were slightly flushed, and his eyes were dark.
Despite being someone who was almost thirty years old, he still carried a hint of innocence and naivety in him.
He lowered his voice and said, “My father really likes my wife.”

Li Jun, “Huh? What do you mean?”

Qin Zhongyue said, “I got to know my wife through my father.
He had even threatened that if I didn’t marry him, all of Qin Enterprise’s assets would be given to my cousin.”

Li Jun was shocked, “Given to Qin Wenxuan? No way.”

Everyone knew that Qin Wenxuan that guy was a troublemaker.
If those assets were handed over to him, it is estimated that the company would go bankrupt within just a few years.

Qin Zhongyue continued, “Why would I lie about that? After I married him, my father then let him work in the company.”

Li Jun was startled.
He suddenly had a bad feeling, “Your father doing all this, it couldn’t be because he wanted to give the company to your wife…..?”

Qin Zhongyue didn’t speak.
The more Li Jun thought about it, the more he felt that it seemed possible.
He then asked vaguely, “Have you ever thought that…..Your wife’s background…and your father….”

Qin Zhongyue lowered his voice and whispered, “I stole my wife’s and my father’s hair and checked.
There is no familial relationship between them.”

Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Turns out, Qin Zhongyue had also suspected this possibility.
He smiled with difficulty, “Of course that should be the case.
With your father’s character, he would definitely not do something as horrible as that to you.”

The two were silent for a while.

Qin Zhongyue reached out to a wine bottle and poured himself another glass.

Li Jun tried to persuade him, “Don’t drink too much.
If you get drunk later, I will have to send you back and face your wife’s wrath.”

Qin Zhongyue snorted, “He dares.
I’m the head of the family.”

Li Jun, “Yes, yes, yes.
You’re the head of the family.”

Qin Zhongyue raised his head and downed half a glass of wine in one go before falling silent again.

When Li Jun looked at him, he saw that his eyes were red and watery.
He was startled, “Old Qin, are you crying?”

Qin Zhongyue muttered, “I don’t feel well.”

Li Jun patted his shoulder, “If you really don’t like your wife, just get divorced.”

Qin Zhongyue, “That’s not possible.
My wife is already vice president.
Those shareholders will cause a ruckus if we ever get divorced.”

Li Jun couldn’t speak.
For the prince of the Qin Enterprise to reach a predicament like this, it could be considered a very first case.

Qin Zhongyue continued, “In fact, he is much better than me in many aspects.”

He then said gloomily, “It’s just that he micromanages everything.
Won’t let me drink or smoke, won’t let me go clubbing, and he even set me a 10pm curfew!”

Li Jun nodded.
These were things he knew about.
Qin Zhongyue’s wife Xie Zhongxing had a strong desire for control, leaving Qin Zhongyue with practically no freedom outside.
Even at gatherings between friends, he would call to check on him and order him to get home on time, and, when necessary, there were even times where he would come and pick him up.

Li Jun also knew that Xie Zhongxing didn’t like them, so Li Jun and Qin Zhongyue’s other friends also didn’t like Xie Zhongxing

It had reached a state of both parties disliking the other party.

Qin Zhongyue had just said that he was the head of the family, but he could no longer control himself after drinking too much.
He started to pour out secrets no one else knew about.
“Every week I have to make a contribution at least ten times and no less than that and it must also be longer than half an hour each time or he will make the aunty make me nourishing soup to anger me!” (KKnotes: He’s referring to their bedtime activities here hehe.)

“I have to hand over all my salary and bank cards and he would only give me a hundred yuan a day! What can you do with a hundred yuan? Only when I have waited on him enough, he would give me a few hundred more.” (KKnotes: 100 yuan is approximately 15-16 USD)

The more Qin Zhongyue spoke, the wetter his eyes became.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and said aggrievedly, “Speaking honestly, the young masters outside are all more expensive than me and will have tens of thousands on them when they go out so I’m at least better than those people.
I really don’t know why he wants to manage everything about me.
Even the eight million a month spending money my father gives me were all confiscated by him.” (KKnotes: About 1.2mil USD)

Li Jun was left dumbfounded.
He didn’t dare continue listening to this.
Afraid that Qin Zhongyue would suddenly sober up and then turn around and silence him, he quickly interrupted, “You’ve drunk too much.
Hey, give me your phone.
Let me call your wife and get him to pick you up.”

Qin Zhongyue paused.
His voice lowered and he said in a small voice, “Don’t call him, he’s on a business trip.
How else would I dare come out and drink?”

Li Jun: “…..”

…….Who was the one who boasted earlier that they’re the head of the family?

Li Jun got up to snatch away the wine glass, “Don’t drink anymore.
I won’t send you home if you get drunk.”

Qin Zhongyue was angry, “Are you looking down on me? I already said that I won’t get drunk even after a thousand glasses! I can go home myself.”

Li Jun: “………..”

He could only sit back down.
He internally decided to book a room for him if he gets drunk later.

Qin Zhongyue continued the earlier topic, “If I ever g
