Entering the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator, which was empty except for the frozen goods on the bottom shelf. He had just returned home and hadn't had time to buy vegetables or meat yet.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.
Chu Fang had no choice but to go downstairs to buy breakfast. It had rained heavily all night, and the air was fresh today.
Downstairs, he bought steamed buns, soy milk, and porridge. On his way back to the apartment complex, he ran into his two neighbors.
"Hello, landlord," Zhou Zhou said. "Happy New Year."
Chu Fang nodded: "Happy New Year, your rent is waived this month."
"Huh? Why?"
Chu Fang retorted, "Isn't 'Happy New Year' enough?"
Although the two girls initially misunderstood him, they were actually quite nice people. They would chat with him for a few minutes during the Chinese New Year and wish him a Happy New Year.
These are qualities and character traits that very few people possess.
Although Chu Fang didn't care about the other party's attitude towards him, he was always happy if the other party had a good attitude.
After saying that, he left immediately, leaving Zhou Zhou and Chen Wan'er behind. Zhou Zhou tilted her head and asked, "Huh? What does the landlord mean?"
Chen Wan'er replied, "Money talks!"
“Hmm… There are so many rich people in the world, why can’t there be one more like me?” Zhou Zhou, arm in arm with her sister, seemed to have thought of something and whispered, “Wan’er, why don’t you seduce the landlord and become his girlfriend? You become a rich woman, and I’ll benefit from it too.”
Chen Wan'er glanced at her: "Then why aren't you going?"
Zhou Zhou: "My landlord's fiancée is so beautiful and has such a great presence. I feel like an ugly duckling, so insecure."
In their eyes, Zhong Tingyue was almost the image of a perfect woman, with excellent looks, an ethereal temperament, and such strong abilities.
Chen Wan'er replied, "Don't I feel inferior?"
Zhou Zhou retorted righteously, "What does your inferiority complex have to do with me? At least I haven't lost face!"
“... ..."
When they got home, the two sisters were already awake. Zhong Tingyue washed up, while Zhong Rou exercised, humming and hawing.
After finishing her meal, Zhong Tingyue left first. She already had a lot of work left before the Chinese New Year, and since she returned to Shanghai late, she had even more work to do. She needed to hurry back to her studio to handle the work.
Next to leave was Chu Fang. Kang Bo had asked him to come to the company yesterday. As the company's sole shareholder, he should at least know about the company's business last year.
Before leaving, Chu Fang asked his sister-in-law, "If we leave, there will be no one to cook at home. Are you really not coming with me?"
My sister-in-law's school is still a few days away from starting. It should have started much earlier, but I heard that someone reported it to the Shanghai Education Bureau, so the school had to postpone the start of the semester.
Chu Fang strongly suspected that the whistleblower was his sister-in-law, because he saw the words "how to report a school" in the other person's phone search bar.
Given his sister-in-law's efficiency, he could only say that the possibility was quite high, definitely no less than 90%.
"No, no," Zhong Rou waved her hand. "I'm going to set up a stall with Wen Qing."
She's busy with her own street vending business.
That's the important thing!
Chu Fang didn't say much, figuring that no one else would go hungry, so he left.
After getting dressed, Zhong Rou hurriedly left, greeting the security guard as she walked out of the residential area, "Good morning, Grandpa."
Security guard: "???!!!"
His eyes widened.
Wow!
What's going on?
This little devil was so polite yesterday, but why is he still so polite today?
This doesn't fit the persona!
unreasonable!
Zhong Rou ignored the security guard's reaction and skipped and hopped towards Wen Qing's house.
Before coming to Shanghai, Gao Ruoyun repeatedly told her to be a good person.
Zhong Rou took the advice to heart and decided to change her approach to the elders and friends around her, and she stopped getting angry so easily.
Soon, the two sisters, Zhong Rou and Wen Qing, chose a location to set up their stall and started their business again. Just like before, one of them played the victim while the other promoted the products.
"Hey, who's this? Tomboy!" The three Lu brothers strolled over leisurely.
“It doesn’t matter that I’m a tomboy, you’re not even a man,” Zhong Rou retorted.
"I'm not a man, okay?"
Lu Rixing squatted down, picking and choosing among the trinkets. Zhong Rou said, "You're so stingy, don't touch anything you're not looking at."
"Did you buy counterfeit goods?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou raised her voice eight octaves and gritted her teeth: "This is the real deal, don't try to slander me!"
Seeing Zhong Rou's strong reaction, Lu Rixing got even more agitated, loudly proclaiming to the surrounding customers that everything here was counterfeit. The customers quickly left, and Lu Rixing nearly ground his teeth to powder, his fists clenched tightly. But remembering Gao Ruoyun's words, he muttered softly, "A clear mind remains calm even when the sky falls. My mother said, don't get angry over trivial matters; it's not worth it..."
"Hey? What's wrong with you? Why didn't you beat me up?" Lu Rixing was also surprised. He had ruined Zhong Rou's business, but she didn't beat him up. Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable. He listened carefully and heard what she was muttering.
So that's how it is... Lu Rixing suddenly understood, and his arrogance grew even stronger. He continued to tell the surrounding customers that it was a fake, until there wasn't a single customer around.
Zhong Rou called out, word by word, "Lu! Ri! Xing!"
"Hey! Are you very angry? Are you very furious? Do you want to hit me?" Lu Rixing stretched his neck. "But don't forget what your mother told you: to get along well with your classmates and to maintain a good attitude. You can't disobey your mother."
Zhong Rou said unhurriedly, "My mother also said that when you encounter a particularly despicable person, sometimes you need to let him know the power of a fist."
Lu Rixing instantly felt surrounded by cold, and asked shiveringly, "Am I that kind of particularly despicable person?"
What do you think?
I said?
I'm about to lose my life, what am I talking about!
Lu Rixing ran at his fastest speed, but he still couldn't outrun Zhong Rou, who had been training for many years, and was caught. He shouted to his two underlings, "Hurry up and save me!"
The two underlings looked at each other.
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee!
Lu Rixing: "... ..., you have the guts to beat me to death."
"Your request will be granted!"
... ...
Beep beep beep...
The roads in Shanghai are still as congested as ever, especially during the morning rush hour when they are completely jammed. As the saying goes, everyone has their own unique talents, and I haven't moved an hour in a row.
Even someone as composed as Chu Fang was getting a little impatient, and asked the driver, "Sir, can you hurry up?"
He didn't drive today; the Rolls-Royce was at his hometown, while the other cars were parked at Zhonghai Mingyuan.
The master calmly said, "No problem, let me attach the wings first."
Chu Fang: "..."
You're a bit sarcastic...
After a long traffic jam, the congestion finally cleared up, and he arrived at Founder Investment Company at a little after 10 a.m. As he stepped into the company, many employees greeted him, "Hello, President Chu."
"Okay," Chu Fang replied as he headed towards his office.
After Chu Fang's figure disappeared, the employee whispered:
"Why is President Chu here today? Is something big going to happen?"
"Possibly! President Chu rarely comes to the company, but when he does, a major storm is brewing."
"No way? The new year has only just begun? I'm scared."
"Can you all stop making such a fuss? This is President Chu's company. It's not unusual for him to come to the company."
Upon hearing this, many employees looked at the employee who had spoken earlier and asked, "Is it normal for President Chu to come to the company?"
The employee gave an awkward smile: "That doesn't seem normal either."
