Hu Xinxin took the suitcase from Zhang Long's hand in a generous manner and casually took his right arm.

She leaned close to Zhang Long's ear and whispered, "Brother Long, don't bother trying. You can't escape my grasp!"

"whee!"

Zhang Long sighed helplessly: "Xin Xin, what exactly do you see in me? I'll change, okay?"

"I'm just an ordinary citizen, I really don't deserve you!"

Little did Zhang Long know that it was precisely his avoidance of Hu Xinxin, coupled with the positive impression he had of her when he stood up for her against the knife-wielding assailant, that made Hu Xinxin look at him with new respect.

Since starting school, many of her peers have swarmed around her like flies, all because of her family background.

After meeting Zhang Long that time, she initially thought it was Zhang Long playing hard to get (don't underestimate the intelligence of a prodigy). But after checking, she found out that it was really just a coincidence.

After much effort, she was truly at her wit's end with Zhang Long (she was racking her brains to make money at the time). Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to reveal her identity.

But to her surprise, things turned out completely differently than she had imagined. They used to be able to have meals together occasionally, but now Zhang Long had simply disappeared without a trace.

They've been hiding in Shenzhen and haven't been out and about.

"Hmph, don't give me that crap, I just like you!"

As Hu Xinxin spoke, she glanced at him and then smacked her lips in satisfaction.

"It's been over a year since I last saw you, Brother Long, you've gotten even more handsome! Hehe, I like you even more now!"

“I can pretend I didn’t see that flight attendant you’re keeping in Pengcheng, but don’t let her hang around in front of me, and don’t let her come to the company.”

"I know you just want me to get angry and leave you, but it's okay, because I like you!"

Zhang Long was at his wit's end; this was completely nonsensical!

This was the first time he had ever felt so stifled since he got the system as his "big daddy".

Looking at the beautiful young woman with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, he suddenly felt a surge of evil, grabbed her, and kissed her fiercely.

When he tried to let go, Hu Xinxin took the initiative, hooking her arms tightly around his head and refusing to let him escape easily.

Finally, he noticed the taste of blood in his mouth and quickly broke free.

Zhang Long licked his lips; they were all raw and chapped!

However, although this girl is fierce, her skills seem to be quite raw.

He's not at a loss either. Since things have already turned out this way, let nature take its course.

Hu Xinxin could feel that the two of them had become closer, so she took Zhang Long's arm again and chattered away like a little bird.

Zhang Long suddenly remembered her father's instructions and had a sudden inspiration: "Xin Xin, why don't you get a job in the government sector?"

“Our family doesn’t have any political connections. You have your dad’s help, which is great.”

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for our children to get into the system when they grow up."

This was a last resort for him. Working within the system meant less time to take care of himself, but at least he had more free time.

Although he doesn't mind being managed, he hasn't had enough fun yet, has he?

Hu Xinxin stared at Zhang Long with suspicion for a long time, feeling that he wasn't telling the truth, but what he said also made sense: it's better to have your own than to have your own parents.

She had to plan for her future, and that's how Zhang Long successfully fooled Hu Xinxin.

The two arrived in front of a pink Audi A4. Zhang Long couldn't help but twitch his lips. This color was so out of place with this girl's personality.

As soon as Zhang Long opened the back door, he felt a death stare.

With no other option, he reluctantly sat in the passenger seat.

The car quickly drove into a residential area with soldiers standing guard at the entrance, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Even when Hu Xinxin was at her doorstep, she was still clinging tightly to Zhang Long's arm. He struggled several times but failed, and in the end, he could only give in.

When Zhang Long opened the door, he was startled by what he saw inside.

"Is this...is this a family reunion?"

There were about ten people inside, of all ages.

Mr. Hu was initially quite happy to see Zhang Long arrive, but...

When he saw his precious daughter holding hands with this brat, his face immediately fell.

He glared at Zhang Long with an unfriendly expression: "Hey, you come to wish me a Happy New Year, and you don't even have a gift?"

Zhang Long's face instantly turned awkward, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it's all the little girl's fault. She made me dizzy and I completely forgot about this."

At this moment, Hu's mother quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Oh dear, Xiao Zhang is here! We're all family, why bring gifts? You old man, being an official has made you lose your mind!"

Faced with his wife's sabotage, Mr. Hu could only sigh helplessly: "Alas, women and petty men are truly the hardest to deal with!"

Zhang Long's three sons beside him watched him with smiles; they knew his situation very well.

He has a clean background, incredibly good luck (all arranged by the system god, cleverly turning all the unreasonable aspects into luck), and his looks are only slightly inferior to hers. He is also basically financially independent, making him fully qualified to be the son-in-law of the Hu family.

At this moment, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor walked over and pulled Zhang Long aside.

"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm Hu Chao, Xin Xin's third brother."

"I know you might have some misunderstandings about us, but every place has a few bad apples, right?"

"And think about it, if you're just doing small-scale operations, that's fine, but if you want to grow big and strong, and you don't have anyone backing you up, then you're just a piece of fat meat. As soon as you show the slightest flaw, everyone will divide you up."

Although Zhang Long was reluctant to admit it, he knew it was the truth. Although he had a talisman to protect his main business, what about the future?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like smoking. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Hu Chao, and the two went outside, squatted by the door, and chatted while puffing away.

Hu Chao greatly admired Zhang Long. This guy started from scratch, without relying on any power or influence, relying entirely on his own abilities and luck.

It should be noted that he himself has worked hard all these years and has only accumulated less than 300 million yuan in wealth.

These days, my soon-to-be brother-in-law's company is developing at an astonishing pace; yesterday's revenue was almost equal to the results of his many years of hard work.

Thinking of this, Hu Chao couldn't help but feel envious. Without hesitation, he reached out and put his arm around Zhang Long's shoulder, a slightly lewd smile on his face. He said obsequiously, "Brother-in-law, look at how well your business is doing! I really admire you!"

"If you ever find a good way to make money in the future, be sure to remember to include me!"

In fact, Zhang Long did have a way to make money, which was a chain of milk tea shops.

However, he didn't want to run the business himself; instead, he wanted to be a core supplier behind the scenes.
