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, ...
"Tch~~~"
Upon seeing Wang Ming leave, Chu Fang looked on with disdain.
For the so-called 'director' position, their faces were full of calculation, but when they didn't get it, they had to pretend to be nonchalant.
Extremely humorous...
The residents of the community were afraid of offending Wang Ming and affecting their business, so they flattered him even while holding their noses.
But Chu Fang, being a man with an "external cheat code," wasn't going to tolerate Wang Ming.
Whatever!
"Young Master Chu, you..." Security guard Brother Liu hesitated.
"Stop talking about social niceties, just tell me, am I handsome?" Chu Fang asked.
"handsome!"
"That settles it!"
Watching Chu Fang disappear into the bustling traffic, security guard Brother Liu shook his head with a smile.
He enjoyed talking to Chu Fang; he wasn't arrogant and had the air of a young man.
Some might say that youth is impetuous, but if you're not impetuous when you're young, when will you be?
Are we supposed to wait until we're too old to breathe before we become energetic?
It's too late!
As night fell, Chu Fang returned to the Tanhua residential area and smiled.
Compared to the scheming and intrigue in Zhonghai Mingyuan, he preferred Tanhua Community, which was noisy and full of human warmth.
Chu Fang tossed a pack of "Huazi" cigarettes to the security guard: "Here, have some, sir."
"Huh? The sun's risen in the west?" The security guard was stunned, then frowned and fell into thought: "Something's not right. That kid wouldn't be so generous as to give me a cigarette. He must have something going on. But what exactly is he planning?"
"What are you doing, old man?" His wife suddenly arrived.
The security guard quickly pulled out a cigarette: "This was given to me by that brat Chu Fang. I'm innocent, do you believe me?"
“I don’t believe your grandma’s legs!” The old woman raised her voice eight octaves.
... ...
If he saw the scene at the entrance of Chu Fang's residential area, he would definitely be heartbroken.
I simply wanted to give the old man a pack of cigarettes, but he handed them over and made me take the blame.
Are there really no good people left in this world?
When he returned home, Zhong Tingyue was already home, sitting cross-legged under the sofa, doing her work.
The table in her home is low, level with the sofa, and she likes to sit on the floor.
In her words: "Absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and take the essence of the sun and moon."
"You're back?"
"ah."
"There's dinner in the fridge."
"have eaten."
Chu Fang approached Zhong Tingyue, intending to lie down on her slender and smooth legs, but a tabby cat was already lying there.
Chu Fang stared at the other person: "Get out of the way, do you even understand what you're doing lying down like that!"
The tabby cat remained unmoved, its greenish eyes seemingly filled with...disdain.
Chu Fang lifted the tabby cat by its front legs and threw it aside, causing the tabby cat to bristle and run towards Chu Fang.
A great battle ensued between the man and the cat, and in the end, the Chu side emerged victorious.
He lay on those warm, smooth thighs and said smugly, "This is what I call wisdom."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
That's all the character you've got...
The Thirty-Six Stratagems were used on the tabby cat.
Chu Fang knew perfectly well that the outcome of his battle with the tabby cat did not depend on who stood or fell, but on who Zhong Tingyue favored more.
Knowing this, he used a self-inflicted injury to play the victim and successfully softened Ms. Zhong's heart.
"How did the homeowners' association meeting go today?" Zhong Tingyue asked while working.
At night, they enjoyed chatting about everyday things, simple and ordinary, yet quite interesting.
"Not very good!" Chu Fang smacked his lips. "The homeowners are afraid of offending Wang Ming and affecting their business, so they're just agreeing and planning to let Wang Ming serve another term. But..."
"At that moment, a deafening roar erupted from the heavens and earth, and a handsome young man made a dazzling entrance. His good looks aside, what mattered most was his courageous spirit—his resolute opposition to Wang Ming's re-election..."
Zhong Tingyue filtered out a series of useless information to learn what had happened that day.
"Mr. Chu, you are really amazing."
"That's right!"
Chu Fang raised his chin and stood up to perform a set of "Zhong-style Eight Fists".
A faint smile appeared on Zhong Tingyue's lips.
After demonstrating his boxing skills, Chu Fang frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It all depends on what happens to you?"
"You're not allowed to look."
"Let's see."
"No!"
"At once!"
"No!"
"At once!"
“... ..."
The two were arguing over the choice between "no" and "then".
As night deepened, Zhong Tingyue's throat grew hoarse, and she went to the bathroom to shower and go to sleep.
Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Chu Fang holding a towel and asked, "What are you doing?"
"bath."
"I'll wash first."
"Together."
"no."
Chu Fang said earnestly, "Ms. Zhong, I'm begging you."
Zhong Tingyue wanted to laugh.
Just now he was so righteous and awe-inspiring, refusing to be a henpecked husband, but now he's making a plea.
Perhaps this is what is called Sichuan Opera face-changing.
However, Chu Fang did not agree. He believed that he had a bottom line, but that the bottom line could be adjusted, either upward or downward.
... ...
In the studio, Zhong Tingyue was discussing business with clients, while Chu Fang was responsible for serving tea and water.
He pursed his lips: "Dude, I'm a billionaire, can't you show me some respect?"
"Chu Fang adds water."
"Okay."
Stepping out of the office, Jiang Wenzhen said disdainfully, "You simp, how old are you?"
"twenty four."
"I can't believe you're so old, you've become quite a senior citizen."
Chu Fang said quietly, "Did I answer your question about your age?"
Jiang Wenzhen asked the chubby boy, "Hey? What does Chu Fang mean by this?"
Cai Guan responded indifferently, "It's meaningless."
At noon, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue went downstairs for lunch.
As soon as I got downstairs, I heard a series of crackling sounds. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that the hotel in front of me was covered in flowers, and someone was having a wedding.
Zhong Tingyue stopped and looked at the hotel.
Chu Fang: "What? You want to get married too?"
"I mainly want to attend the banquet."
"That's easy." Chu Fang took Zhong Tingyue's slender hand. "Come on, follow me."
They headed towards the hotel, but Zhong Tingyue stopped in her tracks: "What are you doing? We don't know the bride and groom, and we don't have any invitations."
"know."
"You know him?"
"Nonsense!" Chu Fang arrived at the place where the wedding gifts were collected and said to the lady in charge, "Hello, I lost my wedding invitation. I'm the bride's classmate, my name is... Zhang Wei!"
The receptionist flipped through the guest invitations and saw the name 'Zhang Wei' among them. She then smiled and said, "It's alright, just give your name."
Having not brought any red envelopes, Chu Fang scanned a QR code to pay the gift money, and then walked into the hotel.
Zhong Tingyue smirked.
This is actually allowed?!
Chu Fang turned around, tilting his head with a smug look: "I'll take you to a banquet."
Zhong Tingyue gave a thumbs up: "You're really shameless!"
He replied, "The main thing about weddings is the atmosphere. Our presence will add to the liveliness for the bride and groom. Besides, we gave a gift, so we're not here to eat at a funeral."
"The bride and groom should thank me!"
... ...
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue found a corner on the edge and sat down.
After sitting down, Chu Fang gave Zhong Tingyue a real lesson, showing her what it means to be embarrassed as long as you're not embarrassed!
Once at the table, he chatted with everyone, and as the "bride's classmate," they had a lively conversation.
This is what social skills are all about!
As the banquet began, since everyone was in the corners and could not see the wedding ceremony on the stage, they started to 'hug the table'.
The banquet featured Shanghai cuisine, including eight-treasure duck, braised catfish, and soft-shelled turtle with rock sugar...
Chu Fang placed the rock sugar turtle into Zhong Tingyue's bowl, but the latter frowned and said, "I don't like it."
“I know,” he nodded, “but you can’t be a picky eater!”
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
Shanghai cuisine tends to be sweet and rich in oil and sauce, which neither of them found palatable.
"Brother, when were you and the bride classmates?" a man at the table asked. "High school," I replied.
"Oh, I'm from university," Chu Fang lied without batting an eye.
“Even if we were university classmates, I should have met you before.” The man, who seemed to have a good relationship with the bride, frowned slightly and asked, “Why don’t you remember me?”
Just as Chu Fang was thinking about how to answer the question, a voice as melodious as a zither came: "He is indeed my college classmate."
Zhong Tingyue coughed repeatedly: "Cough cough cough..."
Chu Fang is numb!
Zhang Yan was dressed in a pure white wedding gown, light as a feather, while beside her stood a tall, slender man wearing glasses and a suit, clearly the protagonist of the day.
On the right is Zhang Yan's best friend, Yi Ke, a bridesmaid, followed by Zhang Yan's father.
Everyone looked at Zhang Yan, while Zhang Yan stared at Chu Fang, and everyone stared at Chu Fang in turn.
The groom smiled and asked, "What's this?"
Zhang Yan replied, "A college classmate."
He immediately asked, "Why are you here?"
How did I get here?
I don't know why I came!
Perhaps this calamity was destined for me!
Why did you kick me? It's you who wanted to eat at the banquet, not me. This embarrassing situation is entirely your fault. Chu Fang glared at Zhong Tingyue.
This woman actually shifted the blame onto him.
This is utterly upside down!
He forced a smile: "Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence?"
"letter!"
Zhang Yan poured out the water and poured out the liquor. The groom tried to pull at his wife, but she remained unmoved.
