After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 535 Awkward Encounter

The so-called "temporary couples" are men and women who leave their hometown to work outside. Due to various reasons, they live together and their short-term union becomes an anonymous but real lifestyle.

Maybe they wanted to save money, or maybe they wanted to help each other in a foreign place, or to have a helper in life and emotional support. They tacitly agreed not to affect either side's family and got together knowing full well.

This kind of relationship is not recognized by law, and there is no possibility of a wedding. They just live together under the same roof, supporting each other.

However, this kind of relationship is usually short-lived, and often ends with the end of a construction project or a change in working life, or even when returning home during the holidays, they will face the end of parting ways.

And in order not to affect each other's families, they defaulted to not contacting each other after one of them returned home, and then they cut off contact!
Then, one of them might never come back, and the two would never meet again in this life, and the relationship would naturally end.

Afterwards, they each returned to their original hometowns and continued their original lives, never mentioning this experience, as if they had never had such an experience in their lives.

Wang Zhiwei experienced this situation at that time!

But things that have existed must have traces of their existence, and his trace is a bit obvious. It is this rebellious son in front of him!

In fact, when Wang Zhiwei was with that temporary wife, he already had a child with his current wife, and he had no plans to divorce his wife. He was just playing around with that woman, so he always took cautious and reliable safety measures when they were together.

However, after years of fighting on the battlefield, he was not always victorious. He accidentally got the woman pregnant. Wang Zhiwei was afraid of ruining his family, so he gave the woman some money and asked her to abort the child. Unexpectedly, the woman was moved and did not agree. She even confessed the fact that she was unmarried. She did not want Wang Zhiwei's money and left in submission.

Because of the mutual vigilance, Wang Zhiwei did not know the woman's hometown or address, and perhaps Wang Zhiwei did not intend to look for her again. In short, the matter was left unresolved and there was no follow-up.

Until a few years ago, the phone that had been silent for more than 20 years suddenly rang again, and the caller frankly said that Wang Zhiwei needed to take on the responsibility of being a father.

Wang Zhiwei then learned that after the woman gave birth to the child, she had returned to the construction site to look for Wang Zhiwei, but people on the construction site told her that Wang Zhiwei had already resigned. The woman had no choice but to leave the child to be raised by her parents in the village, while she went out to work to earn money to support the child.

This kid Zhao Xudong dropped out of school before finishing junior high school. He hung out with gangsters every day and did nothing good. Later, he was imprisoned for petty theft.

It was not until a few years ago that Zhao Xudong accidentally found out that his biological father was doing well, so he found Wang Zhiwei and asked him to take on the role of father.

To put it bluntly, it’s very simple, just a few words: he’s going to rely on his parents for support!

After Wang Zhiwei left the small construction company, he applied for a job at Dongjiang Erjian. He worked his way up step by step, but he didn't expect that when he was doing well, a boy in his twenties found him and called him dad. He even forced him to do a paternity test to prove their blood relationship!
When she found out that he had become a project manager on the construction site, she refused to let him leave even more. In addition to demanding a car and a house, she also asked him to find a proper job, otherwise she would make a big fuss about the matter, making him lose face in public and even breaking up his family!

Wang Zhiwei was totally overwhelmed at that time. In order to protect his position and maintain his family, he had to buy a house and a car for this boy in Dongjiang City under the threat of this boy, and also promised to give living expenses every month to this son whom he did not want to acknowledge.

Ever since this guy came to his door, Wang Zhiwei has been under tremendous pressure. Not only does he have to support two families by himself, but he also has to be on guard all the time to avoid being discovered!

Moreover, he couldn't stand the boy's behavior in the past year. Not only was he not doing his job properly, he also drove the Audi he bought for him around to fool around with women, and asked him for money more and more often. This was far inferior to his own son. If he hadn't been threatened by him using a paternity test for fear of destroying his current family, he really didn't want to have anything to do with them.

I didn't tell him about opening a restaurant. I don't know where this guy got the news from, but he came to me.

Zhao Xudong saw that his cheap dad really came, and thought that his gossip was quite accurate. Sure enough, this was opened by his cheap dad. He felt more confident at the moment, stood up, and shouted happily: "Dad, you are here, I know this restaurant is opened by you!"

The manager standing nearby looked at his boss Wang Zhiwei in surprise. Wang Zhiwei felt a little embarrassed. The manager had eaten with his family before, and he had met his wife and children. Suddenly, someone else called him "Dad". If he accidentally leaked the news and his wife knew about it, he would be doomed. Wang Zhiwei quickly explained to the restaurant manager, "It's a friend's child, who just recognized me as his godfather some time ago."

This doesn't sound that reliable. After all, a godson is not a biological son. Which godson would be so righteous as to ruin his family's business? But it can be dealt with and it can be considered an excuse.

After hearing what the boss said, the restaurant manager just went along with it and took the opportunity to avoid the scene, leaving this difficult mess to Wang Zhiwei himself!

After all, this matter involves the boss. Although being a manager sounds good, I am also an employee. It is better not to get involved in the boss's private affairs.

Wang Zhiwei quickly pulled over his son who didn't want to acknowledge him, and whispered in his ear in a very low voice, almost gritting his teeth, "What's wrong with you? What are you doing here? And didn't I tell you a long time ago not to call me 'Dad' in front of outsiders? Be careful or I'll cut your living expenses."

Seeing that the rebellious son was still trying to defend himself, Wang Zhiwei hurriedly said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want your living allowance to be cut, apologize to the guests first! This is my restaurant, don't affect the business. We can talk later if there is anything."

Wang Zhiwei said "my restaurant", which shows how distant the relationship between him and this rebellious son is. He was even reluctant to use the word "our home".

Wang Zhiwei spoke in a very low voice, and under normal circumstances people around him could not hear it at all. But that was only because ordinary people could not hear it. Xu Boan had excellent hearing, and Wang Zhiwei's deliberate lowering of his voice actually attracted Xu Boan's attention.

Xu Boan paid a little attention and heard clearly what Wang Zhiwei said while sitting in his seat.

Xu Boan was immediately amused when he heard this conversation! He smiled slightly, and his mind was full of thoughts! The situation at Lao Wang's home is very complicated!
Zhao Xudong felt very unhappy when he heard his cheap father's words were so disrespectful to him, but he did not lose face for Wang Zhiwei either!
Although he was not willing to lose face in front of the woman he pursued, he was really afraid that he would not have enough money for living. After all, he was now a full-time old man. If he offended this cheap father, he would have to work hard!
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Zhao Xudong, who has already enjoyed the carefree life of a rich man, has no intention of working hard again!

In this life, it is impossible for me to work, so it is not bad to just live a comfortable life by relying on my parents!

What? You said that I, Zhao Xudong, am not ambitious!

Wow, what do you mean by not motivated? I used to be a screwdriver in a factory, working fourteen hours a day. The happiest time of the day was when I drank some fat house happy water and watched those selfless beautiful girls on Kuaiyin short videos!
But right now, haha, I’m too lazy to check the Kuaiyin app. I just drive my luxury car around and have fun. When I feel lonely at night, I can just go to the club and have a walk. Isn’t it better than just staring and watching?
Just tell me I won't live like this!
I'll work hard to be independent, screwing screws, right? Then I'll retire when I'm over 60, and proudly stand in front of this cheap dad's grave and say I never relied on you in my life! Is that right?

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

Zhao Xudong always believes that luck is an integral part of strength!

We have this rich and cheap dad, that’s an innate advantage, why not take advantage of him!

We had nothing to eat before and had lived through hard times. Now that we have this opportunity, let’s enjoy a sweet life!

Therefore, in order to live a happy and beautiful life relying on his parents, Zhao Xudong was very aware of the current situation.

After hearing what his cheap father said, he glanced at Xu Boan and said in a perfunctory manner: "I'm sorry!"

The restaurant owner Wang Zhiwei quickly followed, bent over at a 90-degree angle and said, "I'm sorry, as the restaurant owner, I deeply apologize for the unhappiness I caused you today. We will cover any consumption you make in our restaurant today, and you will enjoy a 20% discount every time you consume in our restaurant in the future. What do you think?"

Xu Boan had only heard of the name but had not seen the person, so he didn't know whether the restaurant owner Wang Zhiwei and the "project manager Wang Zhiwei" under him were the same person. Now the restaurant owner was standing right in front of him, how could Xu Boan not recognize that this Wang Zhiwei was the same Wang Zhiwei.

Xu Bo'an laughed out loud and said jokingly, "Old Wang, what a coincidence! No, I should call you Boss Wang!"

The restaurant owner's attention was originally on his rebellious son. He occasionally glanced at Liu Yan beside him and paid no attention to Xu Boan who was sitting here.

When I heard this voice at this moment, I suddenly felt that it sounded so familiar. I looked up at the person who was speaking and my eyes widened immediately.

If there was a crack in the ground at this place, he really wanted to crawl into it immediately. He never expected that the person in front of him was the real head of his company, Mr. Xu Bo'an!

Dongjiang Erjian has a clear rule that employees are not allowed to do business outside! Especially for people like him who hold leadership positions, even their relatives’ business must be strictly investigated to ensure that there is no exchange of interests brought by the position!
Although Wang Zhiwei cleverly registered this hotel under someone else's name, he is actually the owner. This is something all employees know, and Xu Bo'an has even caught him red-handed!

At this moment, he felt like the sky was falling. The person that he, the son whom he didn't want to acknowledge, had offended was actually Mr. Xu. What a sin!
Wang Zhiwei calmed An's heart a little, then he stammered, "Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu!"

The people present were stunned when they heard Wang Zhiwei call him "Mr. Xu". Seeing Wang Zhiwei's respectful attitude, their faces changed in an instant.

Wang Zhiwei's son Zhao Xudong was especially shocked when he heard this. He called out "Dad" but then he remembered what Wang Zhiwei had warned him about. He quickly changed his words and said, "Oh, no, godfather, do you know him?"

Wang Zhiwei was furious when he heard his disappointing son speak. He turned around and slapped Zhao Xudong in the face without saying anything, and angrily said to him: "Nonsense, this is my leader, do you think I know him?"

After beating Zhao Xudong, Wang Zhiwei felt a little regretful. It was not that he felt sorry for Zhao Xudong. He had no feelings for Zhao Xudong in the first place, and even felt a little disgusted with Zhao Xudong, so naturally he would not feel sorry for him.

But Wang Zhiwei suddenly remembered that Zhao Xudong had something on him and had a bad temper. If he angered him, wouldn’t it bring trouble to himself?
But Wang Zhiwei knew that there was no regret medicine in the world. The fight had already happened and there was no point in regretting it. For now, he should find an excuse to cover up his illegal business practices.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhiwei smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Xu. Look at what happened. I'm really sorry! This restaurant is owned by my sister-in-law's family. I'm not busy these two days, so I came here to help out. I didn't expect to welcome you, Mr. Xu, by such a coincidence. Our small restaurant is really honored. I'm so sorry about what happened today. This meal is on me. Mr. Xu, please give me this opportunity!"

Xu Boan glanced at Wang Zhiwei meaningfully. This guy reacted very quickly! He was just handling things as the boss, but in the blink of an eye he became a helper!

Xu Bo'an had no concrete evidence, nor did he expose Wang Zhiwei's lies, so he immediately declined, saying, "This is not appropriate. After all, it's not your store. If it were your store, I would eat there, but it's your relative's, so I have to take care of the business!"

Wang Zhiwei said awkwardly: "Mr. Xu, you are joking. I don't have the ability to do business. At my age, it is not easy to do my job well. I still have a lot to learn from you!"

Xu Bo'an uttered "Hehe" with a forced smile, and Wang Zhiwei heard a voice that made his heart tremble.

"Old Wang, your business is so good now, you have to keep a low profile. If the company finds out one day, especially Xu Bo'an, he will definitely not let you off. He has always looked down on us old officials from the previous dynasty!"

Wang Zhiwei's face changed, and he looked towards the source of the sound with trembling hands. He awkwardly forced out an ugly smile towards Yu Wei who was approaching. (End of this chapter)
