Chapter 33

Wesley has been in a good mood these past few days.

A new colleague has joined the company, a Chinese man around his age, with a mysterious aura, very generous, and a good personality. Most importantly, he has become Wesley's friend!

Wesley has always had very few friends. His only friend, Barry, is a complete jerk who frequently sleeps with Wesley's girlfriend.

But even so, Wesley pretends to know nothing about it, showing just how lonely and insecure he is. Suddenly, a colleague who is tens of thousands of times better than Barry has appeared, sincerely befriending Wesley and often helping him, making Wesley feel as if he is living in a dream.

Wesley once curiously asked this friend named "Bai Xiaofei," "Bai, there are so many people in the company, and not a few beautiful women. Why did you choose me as your friend and treat me so well?"

Bai Xiaofei's eyes showed a slight moment of realization before he said, "Wesley, because we are very similar!"

Indeed, Bai Xiaofei and Wesley are very similar. At 24, which is the best age of one's life, Bai Xiaofei has achieved nothing, working a miserable job, earning a pitiful salary, living a life of a loser, being looked down upon by women, having no goals, losing his dreams, and being full of failures. The worst part is that even Bai Xiaofei himself feels that he is beyond saving, living a life of despair.

If not for the fortunate acquisition of a time-traveling device, Bai Xiaofei's life would have continued to be aimless, corrupt, decadent, and decaying until death.

Wesley's misery is on par with Bai Xiaofei's past. Although he is slightly better off, having a girlfriend, she is a typical ***, who has even cheated on him, making him even more pitiful than Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei approached Wesley for two reasons: to get closer to Sloan and others, and to help Wesley, lifting the gloom from his heart and establishing correct life values.

"We are very similar?"

Hearing Bai Xiaofei's explanation, Wesley was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Bai Xiaofei meant.

In Wesley's view, Bai Xiaofei is the epitome of success, young and wealthy, mysterious and talented, even able to handle the annoying female boss with ease, a true business elite. Looking at himself, as Bai Xiaofei would say, he is the epitome of a loser! The two are completely at opposite ends, how could they be similar?

Seeing Wesley's confused and puzzled face, Bai Xiaofei laughed and patted Wesley's shoulder, saying, "Wesley, why think so much? You just need to know that I am your friend! By the way, it's almost quitting time. Do you have any plans? If not, how about we go to the nearby Sack BBQ for some barbecue? I'll treat you!"

Sack BBQ is very famous in the area, with a beautiful environment, fresh and delicious meat, and excellent service, though the prices are a bit high.

For an employee like Wesley, a month's pocket money might not even be enough for one visit.

Wesley didn't want Bai Xiaofei to spend too much, and was about to refuse, suggesting a cheaper restaurant. At this moment, Barry, who had been eavesdropping, excitedly shouted, "Sack BBQ? Bai, you're the best! I've wanted to eat at Sack BBQ for a long time! Thanks for the treat, let's meet after work!"

Barry is always looking for small advantages, especially over Wesley. Not only does he frequently sleep with Wesley's girlfriend, but he also often deceives Wesley into buying condoms for him, a complete jerk!

Hearing that Bai Xiaofei was treating them to a meal, and especially to the Sack BBQ he has longed for, Barry couldn't help but jump in.

Clearly, his habit of taking advantage of others was acting up again.

This time, however, his target shifted from the poor Wesley to the generous and charitable Bai Xiaofei.

In Barry's view, Bai Xiaofei must be crazy to be friends with someone like Wesley. Apart from his girlfriend being enjoyable, Wesley has nothing to offer. If not, he wouldn't be friends with Wesley.

But Bai Xiaofei is different. He is friends with Wesley without even trying to take advantage of his girlfriend, and often helps Wesley, spending thousands of dollars on him. Now, he is even treating Wesley to Sack BBQ, a complete sucker.

Barry thought that by joining in, though it might seem abrupt, he would be accepted because he is Wesley's friend.

Barry was very confident in his thick skin!

In real life, Bai Xiaofei has also encountered people like Barry. Due to his personality, he doesn't like to argue with such people, so he often gets taken advantage of. Although he would say it was fine, he actually despised them, even cursing some of the more extreme ones to death!

Bai Xiaofei found Barry annoying even in movies.

Now, seeing Barry suddenly appear, trying to take advantage of him, he felt even more annoyed!

Bai Xiaofei's smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a cold expression. He looked at the excited Barry and said, "I'm sorry, sir, who are you? Did I say I would treat you?"

Hearing Bai Xiaofei's words, Barry's mouth dropped open, stunned and speechless.

This doesn't make sense, how could he refuse?

Barry was completely baffled.

The few people around who were paying attention to the situation couldn't help but laugh at Barry's ridiculous expression, drawing even more attention.

Seeing Barry, who usually boasts and takes advantage of him, now being humiliated and becoming a laughingstock, Wesley suddenly felt very satisfied. The resentment and anger that had built up inside him burst forth. With Bai Xiaofei as his true friend, Wesley no longer cared about Barry.

If not for the fact that this was the company and he still had to work here, Wesley would have already rushed forward to beat up Barry, who had cheated on him.

Although Wesley couldn't physically attack Barry now, he could freely mock and despise him.

Even with Barry's thick skin, he felt a burning sensation on his face, especially from Wesley's mocking and despising gaze, which made him feel humiliated and angry.

Barry tried to maintain his composure and said, "Bai, I am Wesley's friend, you..."

Before Barry could finish, Bai Xiaofei coldly interrupted, "Oh, I know you are Wesley's friend, but you are not my friend!"

After saying this, Bai Xiaofei didn't care about Barry's reaction, glanced at the time, then turned and patted Wesley's shoulder, smiling and said, "Wesley, work is over, it's free time now. I'll go to Sack BBQ to reserve a table. You tidy up and come down right away!"

Seeing Barry completely reduced to a ***, becoming a target of everyone's contempt, Wesley felt refreshed and in high spirits. With Bai Xiaofei as his true friend, he no longer cared about Barry.

Hearing Bai Xiaofei's words, Wesley laughed and waved to Bai Xiaofei, saying, "Bai, don't worry, I won't keep you waiting!"

Then, Wesley turned his gaze to Barry, his eyes filled with a mocking smile.

Barry, looking at Wesley's gaze, suddenly felt nervous, his heart filled with unease, thinking, "What is Wesley's expression? Could it be... he has discovered that I often sleep with his girlfriend under the pretext of going to the dentist? Oh my God, is he going to beat me?"

Thinking this, Barry couldn't help but take a step back, looking panicked and said, "Wesley, listen to me, I..."

Wesley, however, smiled and interrupted Barry, saying, "Barry, you don't need to explain anything to me, because... from now on, we are no longer friends!"

Wesley took a step forward, about to leave the company.

As he passed Barry, he suddenly stopped, as if remembering something. He lightly patted Barry's shoulder and said, "Barry, as a friend, I have one last piece of advice for you. The area around the company seems a bit unsafe. Be extra careful when you go home!"

With that, he turned and left.

Leaving Barry standing there, looking miserable.

...

On a street near Wesley's workplace.

In a red Dodge Viper, a stunning woman sat in the driver's seat, watching Wesley leave the company and enter the nearby Sack BBQ.

Then, she turned to the tall, thin black man sitting behind her and said, "Wesley is with that Chinese man named Bai Xiaofei again. It seems their relationship is very good, and they have become friends in just a few days! I feel that this Chinese man is a bit strange, not like an ordinary person. Should I investigate his background?"

"No need!"

The black man, with a calm expression, said, "Whether he is an ordinary person or not, you just need to find an opportunity to test him. If he is an ordinary person, ignore him and continue to monitor and analyze Wesley. If Bai Xiaofei is not an ordinary person and has potential, use your means to bring him into the mutual aid society. We have suffered significant losses recently and need to replenish our ranks with fresh blood!"

"Ok!"
