Wei Qian really did not have much talent for cooking. If you expected him to produce a full imperial banquet, that was obviously unrealistic. But he had not been born a grand master either. Cooking, that basic survival skill, was still something he knew, and for ordinary everyday meals he could manage most things. Besides that, Wei Qian had one extra ability: fast hands and feet. If you stuffed him into some culinary competition, then in terms of color, aroma, and flavor his finished dishes might…-

That little girl Tan Ming really was a live monkey born into the wrong species. Right from birth her bones had been stronger and sturdier than other babies’. At only a little over ten months old, she had already completed the evolution from monkey to human, upright walking. By the time she was one or two years old, she was already running all over the place, and had become one of the household plagues. On a Saturday at noon, San Pang’s family of three came to Wei Qian’s house. San Pang had…

Only Parting in Death, Never Again Parting While Alive Wei Qian’s phone chimed once. He pulled it out and saw that it was a picture message. The moment he opened the image, it startled him. The face of a newborn baby abruptly filled the entire frame. Newborn little things were ugly to begin with, their skin as red as tomatoes, their faces full of wrinkles, all their features scrunched together as though they were holding back one huge wail. On top of that, the camera had been too close, so the image…

Wei Qian behaved himself in the hospital for a little over a week, but before even half a month had passed, he could no longer stay put. He had long been used to a hectic life. In the first few days after surgery, when his energy was poor and he would get sleepy after wandering around for a bit, that was one thing. But as the amount of time he stayed awake each day gradually grew longer, he began to find the hospital’s monotonous, boring life increasingly unbearable. Once Little New Year passed,…

On the twenty-third, the sugar melons stick. People often said, “Once Laba is past, the New Year is here,” and sure enough, something joyful really did happen. The tumor in Wei Qian’s lung was ultimately confirmed to be benign. It was removed by surgery. Afterward, in order to show off how wise, mighty, and prophetic he was, this grand old master launched into quite a round of hindsight bragging. Even lying weakly in a hospital bed, he still seized every chance to show off, shamelessly…

“Xiao Yuan?” Wei Qian asked, somewhat stunned. “Didn’t I say... how come you still ran back?” But Wei Zhiyuan didn’t make a sound. He only stared at him blankly, his eyes out of focus, his gaze so scattered it seemed to fill the whole room, with nowhere to land. Wei Zhiyuan had gone to Wei Qian’s office to fetch some documents, and suddenly noticed that there was a key stuck into the very bottom drawer of the desk. Wei Qian never locked cabinets, whether at home or at the office.…

It was Xiao Fei who screamed, because she saw her boss, without the slightest hesitation, grab the blade barehanded. Her heart nearly leapt out through her throat. With one hand braced against the wall and the other clapped over her mouth, Xiao Fei stared in shock as blood from Wei Qian’s hand ran down along the groove of the dagger and over the back of his hand. Then he lifted a knee and drove it into the short man’s stomach. Xiao Fei heard a dull thud and could almost imagine how badly it hurt.…

“Xiao Bao said I’m already poisoned too deeply and my days are numbered. I think she’s right. I feel awful. I really don’t want to die. I don’t know how to tell gege. I put two-yuan and fifty cents under the pillow. Teacher said the things dead people leave behind are called inheri, inherit, inheritance, so I have an inheritance of two fifty. I wanted to buy a bottle of something to drink. I’ve never had soda in a glass bottle before. Later I didn’t buy it. I thought I should leave it…

Have I really... been letting you down all this time? Wei Qian thought to himself. But aside from that night, when Wei Zhiyuan had been pushed into a panic by him and let slip a few scattered traces of anger, Wei Qian could not remember him ever expressing even the slightest bit of negative emotion. Wei Zhiyuan took the pillow out of Wei Qian’s hands and turned to put it back on Ma Chunming’s hospital bed, saying lightly, “My Ge isn’t that kind of person.” Ma Chunming and Wei Qian asked…

Every project, once carried through, was a test of how accurately one could grasp both personal connections and the market. Rough, broad-brush development and luck-based, hit-or-miss management would very quickly be washed away by the great waves of the industry. That was why Wei Qian had kept that big monkey, Ma Chunming, around back then. Even if Dr. Ma was a blockhead, he was a blockhead with an exceptionally clear line of thinking. Although Dr. Ma did not often show himself in public, he more or…
