Chapter 1635: Forming a New Department
The dishes were soon served, and Xu Ke was already a regular customer here.
Since he came to the capital city, he has been to this restaurant no less than ten times.
It all started with Wang Cuixia, who brought him here, saying it was Old Mister Xue’s favorite place to dine.
As a result, once Xu Ke tried it, he couldn’t stop; he deeply fell in love with the flavors here.
Whenever there’s a chance or when friends come over, he would bring them here.
Although the price is relatively a bit expensive, to him, it doesn’t matter at all.
"You should try the food here soon; the taste is top-notch. I guarantee you’ve never had anything so delicious."
Seeing Xu Ke’s confident look, Da Bing hesitantly picked up a piece with his chopsticks.
He had seen a lot of the world and didn’t believe it could really be as divine as Xu Ke boasted.
Though it was indeed a five-star restaurant, Da Bing didn’t believe that ordinary ingredients could be turned into a miracle.
When Da Bing put the food into his mouth, an instant rush of an enticing aroma surged forth.
In that moment, Da Bing felt as if he had been transported to Heaven. In all his life, it was the first time he had tasted something so good.
The sensation made him feel utterly refreshed, and he could hardly believe that a dish could bring him such feelings.
Da Bing suddenly felt that he had lived his life in vain all these years; had he experienced this earlier, he would have preferred to live a few years less.
After all, life is all about a feeling; coming and going in haste, a few decades pass just like a blink of an eye.
Da Bing had seen through many things now, and his daily life was gradually losing its passion.
After all, having seen through the world’s various states, his everyday life felt as plain as drinking water.
Da Bing could actually choose a better life; with his skills, he could secure a senior position in any top company worldwide.
But he didn’t choose to do so; he still preferred staying home.
He didn’t really enjoy dealing with people, nor did he like those things involving intrigue and scheming.
He preferred diving purely into technology, and he enjoyed facing the enigmatic world of computers alone.
Furthermore, as time went by, Da Bing felt this desire grow stronger.
If it weren’t for Xu Ke getting back in touch with him, Da Bing might have continued down that path indefinitely.
Da Bing currently lived for two motivations: continue exploring the unknown realms of computing and for the girl.
These two goals had become Da Bing’s obsessions, compelling him to achieve them no matter the cost.
Agreeing to Xu Ke’s request this time involved a tough internal struggle. After all, coming to Xu Ke’s place meant leaving his peaceful life behind.
However, after careful consideration, Da Bing had already made peace with the situation.
What experiences hadn’t he been through, what things hadn’t he seen? Xu Ke’s little fuss didn’t even faze him.
Since it was his brother in trouble and needed help, Da Bing had nothing to say.
In this world, Xu Ke was now Da Bing’s only brother.
Da Bing’s parents had long passed away, and his relatives didn’t even spare him a glance.
Da Bing was well aware of the world’s coldness and the sinister nature of people. So he preferred shutting himself in his room and avoiding contact with others.
For a long while, the silence created a subtle atmosphere at the scene.
Seeing Da Bing’s prolonged silence, Xu Ke knew he must be deep in thought.
After all, this was his first significant trip away from home, and it was to help him.
Though Xu Ke, as Da Bing’s brother, knew quite a bit about him,
most of that understanding was limited to certain aspects or one-sided views.
Xu Ke couldn’t guarantee that the Da Bing he knew was the real Da Bing, or if the present Da Bing represented his true self.
Looking at Xu Ke in front of him, Da Bing didn’t know what to say for a moment.
This man was someone he met by pure chance, and he never expected they would grow this close.
Da Bing never imagined in his dreams that in his lifetime, he would find a brother, and that throughout his life, he and Xu Ke would share so many intersections.
"Xu Ke, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known what I would’ve become by now."
Da Bing actually knew, although they hadn’t kept in touch over the years,
every once in a while, Xu Ke would secretly send him encouraging words under an anonymous identity.
There was even a period when Da Bing became so poor he couldn’t afford any food, but he never told Xu Ke.
Unexpectedly, soon after, he received a mysterious wire transfer.
It was a full million, a shock Da Bing still can’t get over.
Even though Xu Ke never reached out directly, he was constantly helping him behind the scenes.
Xu Ke wasn’t good at expressing himself, but he always considered his welfare in mind.
Da Bing still remembers when the girl had just left, Xu Ke would chat with him overnight, fearing he’d do something foolish.
Da Bing was well aware of these things and kept them deeply buried in his heart.
He didn’t mention them because he intended to repay Xu Ke with actions.
The reason he came this time was not only to see his brother but also to help him achieve his goals.
Now that he knew why he was living, he just needed to strive for it.
Xu Ke stood stunned for a long time before reacting; the current Da Bing always gave him a different feeling.
But Xu Ke gently shook his head; Da Bing was right there, standing before him, regardless of any changes, he remained his brother.
Xu Ke trusted his brother unconditionally, believing he wouldn’t do anything to harm people.
"Come on, no need for thanks, eat up. I didn’t ask you here for fun; there’s still a lot of serious business to do. Let me tell you, assembling the new department is a significant matter. You can’t act the same as you do with me around your team members. In front of them, you must carry your authority, ensuring they respect and trust you."
Xu Ke was determined to leave the entire department to Da Bing; he would only offer guidance on key matters.
After all, he wasn’t really knowledgeable about computers. He even planned to take this opportunity to learn from Da Bing, hoping to impress Xiao Keyi in the future.
