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, ...
Outside the building.
Kang Bo looked at the two of them, especially Chu Fang.
He was puzzled.
The old General Manager Qin had just handed over the decision-making power for the project to Qin Jun, and Qin Jun was obviously biased towards Shao Bowen's company. Where did Chu Fang get the confidence to win the project and the audacity to make a bet with Shao Bowen?
Chu Fang met Shao Bowen's scrutinizing gaze with a bright smile: "Want to bet?"
"Why is the bet that I apologize to Shao Xiang?" Shao Bowen frowned.
“I’d like to,” he replied simply.
Shao Bowen shook his head: "I don't gamble."
"Useless!" Chu Fang rolled his eyes. "Didn't you think you were so great? Didn't you think you could beat me to a pulp in business? Turns out it was all bullshit. That's all you'll ever be."
Shao Bowen was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, you're a piece of trash." Chu Fang shrugged. "If I lose, I'll give you a project worth hundreds of millions; if you lose, you'll only get a verbal apology. It's obvious which is more important, yet you back down. What else are you but trash?"
Shao Bowen stared intently at Chu Fang with a serious expression.
He was 90% confident of winning over Qin Jun and signing the contract, but he felt threatened by Chu Fang's provocation.
Shao Bowen pondered for a few seconds: "Okay, I agree."
He paused, then continued, "However, I have to add one condition: if you lose, you also have to apologize to your two children."
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang clutched his stomach and laughed. Once his emotions had calmed down a bit, he said, "Okay, no problem."
"Remember your words." Shao Bowen gave him a deep look before leaving.
Chu Fang put his hands in his pockets, slowly looked away, and then drove back to the company.
Kang Bo asked softly, "President Chu, what should we do next?"
"Don't you have a job?"
"Yes, I have."
"Then go to work."
"Then what about this matter?"
Chu Fang: "Let it go with the wind, don't worry about it."
Kang Bo couldn't figure out what Chu Fang was up to, so he had no choice but to leave. He had a vague feeling that the scales of victory were tipping in Chu Fang's favor.
Chu Fang strolled into the company and approached the front desk.
"President Chu."
What are your orders?
The receptionists stood up straight.
Chu Fang looked at Wei Caixia: "Has Rong Shunji been busy lately?"
"It's alright," Wei Caixia replied. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, so I was thinking of getting together.”
Chu Fang hadn't seen Rong Shunji and Wen Xiangbing for a long time. The three brothers had reached this point, and they had less and less time to get together. It wasn't because they lived too far apart, but because they all had their own things to do.
Rong Shunji planned to buy a house in Shanghai to give his child a good start in life, so he worked tirelessly; Wen Xiangbing, on the other hand, threw himself into the company, drinking from day to night until he was completely drunk.
Suddenly, he realized that as people reach middle age, their social circle shrinks significantly and continues to shrink.
Wei Caixia immediately guessed Chu Fang's thoughts: "I didn't mean to stop A Rong from having a gathering."
“I know.” Chu Fang nodded. “I think your words carry more weight than mine. Rong Shunji doesn’t take me seriously.”
He and Rong Shunji were friends since university, so close they were practically inseparable. Because of this, Rong Shunji could act on his own whims, not showing up whenever he wanted, and he had no choice but to comply.
However, Rong Shunji would listen to anything Wei Caixia said.
"good."
Wei Caixia agreed.
"I'll give you a raise another day." Chu Fang was quite pleased.
"Forget it, my salary is already high enough," Wei Caixia refused.
Only after Chu Fang left did the receptionists slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew..."
"I don't know why, but when President Chu stands here, I feel extremely pressured."
"Me too."
"Sister Wei, you're doing so well. Your husband is actually buddies with President Chu."
Wei Caixia smiled, then called her husband to tell him about the gathering of three friends that evening.
Back in his office, Chu received a message from Rong Shunji that the three of them would be having a get-together that evening.
He then called his father-in-law, Zhong Ping, and asked him and his father-in-law to pick up the two children from school.
He stayed at the company until sunset, then leisurely left work and drove to his destination.
When we arrived at the restaurant, Rong Shunji was already there.
Chu Fang cursed, "Damn it, you ungrateful scoundrel!"
“I ask you to come out for dinner, and every time you make excuses, Wei Caixia just says something casually, and you come running like a puppy. You good-for-nothing.”
"People say brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. Look at yourself, do you even care about your brothers?"
Rong Shunji said with a serious expression, "That's different."
"What's different?"
"If you mess with my clothes, I'll chop off your hands and feet."
"screw you!"
The two sat facing each other, teasing each other with their words full of barbs.
A short while later, Wen Xiangbing also arrived.
Chu Fang said, "Oh, Mr. Wen finally has time to see us brothers today. We are truly honored."
Rong Shunji also said, "Mr. Wen, you must have made a fortune recently. I saw on your WeChat Moments that you bought a BMW. You look so cool."
Wen Xiangbing started his second business. Although the company didn't grow very big, it was quite successful. He made a lot of money, owns a car and a house in Shanghai, and is a successful person.
"Call me Father Wen, and I'll give you five hundred yuan." Wen Xiangbing raised his chin.
Chu Fang and Rong Shunji looked at each other and said in unison, "Father Wen!"
"I'm not giving it to you anymore."
"You!"
In an instant, Rong Shunji restrained Wen Xiangbing, while Chu Fang took out his best friend's phone and transferred 1,000 yuan to each of them.
Wen Xiangbing screamed in a heart-wrenching rage: "Born! Robber! Bandit!"
The three of them joked around for a while, then drank some wine and chatted about everyday life, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future.
We had such a simple chat, but it was very enjoyable.
"Is Bingzi still single?" Chu Fang asked.
“Who said I’m single?” Wen Xiangbing said.
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang and Rong Shunji immediately perked up.
Does this mean this guy has found a girlfriend?
This is truly a joyous occasion worth celebrating.
Wen Xiangbing raised both hands: "Let me introduce you. These are my two wives."
They were both very disappointed. Rong Shunji lay on the table and said, "You're already thirty years old and still doing handicrafts. You've got nothing in your life."
"Traditional crafts must not be lost."
Chu Fang asked, "What about Tang Xue?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Xiangbing rubbed his lips, looking for some reason melancholy: "A real estate developer paid a high price to acquire the orphanage, and she moved the orphanage to another city, and she also left Shanghai."
"waste!"
"cowardly!"
The two cursed each other angrily.
“You’ve already achieved great success, yet you still don’t dare to accept her. You’re utterly cowardly,” Chu Fang said.
Over the years, Tang Xue had been pursuing Wen Xiangbing, but he never accepted her, leaving the relationship stalled. Even after Tang Xue left, they remained friends.
Wen Xiangbing didn't know whether he was right or wrong and didn't want to say too much about it. Chu Fang and Rong Shunji didn't press the matter further either. They understood their close friend; he simply had a problem in his mind. If he could change, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until today?
The three drank and chatted until night fell, at which point they decided to move to another place to continue drinking.
"Tonight, the three of us will drink until we drop."
"Whoever runs away first is a dog."
As soon as he stepped out of the hotel, he saw a graceful woman leaning against Chu Fang's car. She was wearing a fitted white dress that accentuated her slender figure, and the hem of her dress swayed gently in the wind.
Her fingers rested on the car body, her skin as white as snow. She leaned her head against the window, a few strands of hair brushing her face. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and a faint smile played on her lips. Her elegant demeanor attracted the attention of passersby.
Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue arrive, Chu Fang waved to his two brothers, saying, "I'm drunk, bye-bye."
After saying that, he got into the car, and Zhong Tingyue drove away.
Rong Shunji and Wen Xiangbing were left behind, gritting their teeth as they said, "You bastards who have no humanity when it comes to women."
"It really is a dog!"
