A Life of Financial Freedom

Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...

Chapter 25 Confident Chu Fang

Whether Jiang Wenzhen believed it or not, Chu Fang believed that Zhong Tingyue liked him.

The main focus is on self-confidence.

Upon entering the company, Chu Fang lay sprawled at his workstation, looking utterly listless.

Monday is the darkest day for working people.

The entire company was shrouded in an atmosphere of utter despair and despair.

Chu Fang was better off than his colleagues; he could find joy in his work, which was admiring Zhong Tingyue's stunning beauty.

"Hey, Brother Chu." The chubby boy Cai Guan next to him craned his neck.

"What?" he glanced at.

"Congratulations on landing this big project."

Cai Guan, the chubby boy, is a well-behaved kid. Since joining the company, he has worked hard without complaint, believing that hard work will lead to success, and he puts 200% of his passion into his work.

She is also the most capable among the four newcomers.

Even now, Cai Guan is still only doing design and composition work, while Chu Fang, who slacks off all day and works from nine to six, has become the first among the newcomers to achieve success.

Cai Guan held him in high esteem.

"No big deal." Chu Fang nodded smugly, clenching his fist. "Even if President Huang were Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he wouldn't be able to escape my palm."

"Brother Chu, you're amazing!" Cai Guan's eyes sparkled.

"Hehe." Chu Fang chuckled.

Even so, he was also somewhat irritated.

Ever since he parted ways with the wealthy woman, Ms. Huang, the two exchanged contact information. Ms. Huang flirted with him quite a bit, calling him "Brother Chu" repeatedly with such enthusiasm and tenderness that it gave him goosebumps all over.

Furthermore, the wealthy Ms. Huang transferred money to Chu Fang, intending to treat him to dinner and invite him to spend the night...

His intentions are obvious to everyone.

Fortunately, he has Ren Feiping as his emotional mentor.

He then gave Ren Feiping the WeChat contact information of the wealthy woman, Ms. Huang, and asked Ren Feiping to handle things with her for him.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Ren Feiping was originally unwilling. He had read "How to Enter the Heart of a Rich Woman" and "The Psychology of Rich Women" and knew that the psychology of rich women was somewhat perverse. He resolutely refused, but in the end he bowed his head in front of Chu Fang.

There was nothing they could do; Chu Fang had given them too much.

In this way, he was spared the situation of his purity being defiled.

Alas!

Just thinking about it makes him shudder.

Boys should also protect themselves when they are out.

Just then, a figure came into his view. The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with above-average looks, regular features, slightly dark skin, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Through the lenses, one could see a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Good morning, Minister." As the senior employee stepped into the design department, he greeted the bespectacled man.

The bespectacled man smiled and nodded in response.

Chu Fang knew who the other party was; it was Ma Junjie, the head of their company's design department.

I went on a business trip to another city a while ago and only got back to the company today.

I heard that Ma Junjie graduated from a prestigious foreign university. After returning from studying abroad, he is shrewd and capable. He has already risen to the position of department head in just a few years since joining the company, which shows his talent.

Ma Junjie smiled and nodded to his subordinates as he walked towards Zhong Tingyue's workstation.

“Tingyue.” Ma Junjie’s smile deepened.

"Zhong Tingyue," Zhong Tingyue corrected coldly, "Is there something you need, Minister Ma?"

"Just got back from a business trip, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have something to do tonight."

Faced with rejection, Ma Junjie wasn't angry, seemingly used to it. He clapped his hands, signaling everyone to look at him, then turned his gaze to the four new employees, and began to speak:

"I was on a business trip a while ago, and four new colleagues joined our department. I didn't have time to hold a welcome ceremony for them, and I hope everyone will understand, especially the four new colleagues."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "To show my welcome to you all, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's all have a good time together."

Upon hearing this, the entire department erupted in applause and cheers.

When someone is treating, everyone is naturally happy to accept.

Seeing everyone cheering, Ma Junjie turned to Zhong Tingyue and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight."

Zhong Tingyue nodded.

Upon receiving the response, Ma Junjie smiled and immediately headed to his office.

As she passed Chu Fang's workstation, she stopped and patted him on the shoulder: "You must be Chu Fang. You are indeed a handsome man. Ting Yue has a very high opinion of you."

Faced with the praise, Chu Fang was not too happy. Instead, he frowned slightly and stared at Ma Junjie as he walked into the office.

Ma Junjie addressed Zhong Tingyue in a very intimate way.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of his free time, he went to the front desk to ask Jiang Wenzhen, his spy in the company, for information.

After getting to the bottom of things, Chu Fang finally understood where that unease came from.

So they're rivals in love.

The entire company knew that Ma Junjie liked Zhong Tingyue. He went to great lengths to pursue her, but Zhong Tingyue rejected him and treated him coldly, like a snow-capped mountain frozen for millennia.

Even so, Ma Junjie did not lose heart and fought on despite repeated defeats.

“Sogga.” Chu Fang understood.

"What, why are you asking these questions?" Jiang Wenzhen glanced at him sideways. "Are you trying to woo Sister Zhong?"

“It’s not that I’m pursuing you, but rather that I’m thinking about how to give Zhong Tingyue a chance to pursue me. After all, you already saw my charm this morning,” Chu Fangyi replied righteously.

"Pah!" Jiang Wenzhen pouted. "Minister Ma is not only capable, but he also owns a car and a house in Shanghai. He's also devoted to his wife. Even so, he still couldn't win over Sister Zhong. He should stop daydreaming."

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang was particularly unconvinced: "First, his ability stems from his long working hours, while I just graduated, so we can't compare; second, substantial assets? Let me put it this way, there are very few people in the world who would dare to claim substantial assets in front of me; third, and most importantly—"

"I'm more handsome than him! That alone makes me a clear winner."

Jiang Wenzhen opened her mouth, but ultimately did not speak.

She simply couldn't understand where Chu Fang's confidence came from.

... ...

All day long, Chu Fang had no interest in working and left all the tasks to the chubby Cai Guan, since the chubby boy was happy to work and eager to learn from the experience.

He fell into deep thought about how to deal with Ma Junjie's threat.

Despite the years that have passed, Zhong Tingyue still treats Ma Junjie with cold indifference. The two seem like enemies, never interacting outside of work. But who knows, maybe one day Zhong Tingyue will become interested in that minister?

And this minister's personal qualifications are indeed quite good.

He owns a car and a house in Shanghai and has been pursuing Zhong Tingyue single-mindedly for several years.

Ma Junjie's appearance made Chu Fang feel threatened.

I get off work at 6 PM.

The entire design department staff went to the booked restaurant, which was not far from the company, and they all walked there together.

Although Chu Fang didn't like Ma Junjie very much, he had to admit that this rival in love was very intelligent and emotionally intelligent.

Along the way, he chatted and laughed with his subordinates while taking care of the newcomers, and occasionally asked Zhong Tingyue for her opinion, making sure that all aspects were taken care of.
