Damn it! Being stared at by so many people with that bare, stark gaze was like being violated, and you can imagine how uncomfortable it made me.
"Brother Lin! You're here!"
Zheng Liang, as always, greeted him warmly, holding a big bunch of wedding sweets, grinning from ear to ear with a silly look on his face.
"What happened? Did someone at home have a baby, or did you get a daughter-in-law? You're handing out wedding sweets now?" Lin Zifeng joked.
"Not at all, Brother Lin. Thanks to you, Huang Daming was recently fired by the company, and now the position of head of the security team at the head office has fallen to me. So you see, this is a sort of promotion for me, and I thought I'd share some wedding sweets with the brothers to have a little fun." Zheng Liang was a typical northerner, straightforward and hot-tempered, and his frequent use of "I" sounded particularly sincere.
