Li Zishan blushed, but had no intention of explaining. She just secretly guessed that Chen Tinghan had done something extraordinary again.
Sister Zhang was an experienced person and she saw it at a glance. Even if these two were not lovers, there was definitely something going on. She did not expose it, but smiled mysteriously, packed up the ordered dishes and chicken, and handed them to Li Zishan.
"I won't say much more. This meal is free. Consider it my treat. Come often in the future."
Chen Tinghan was not polite. He thanked him and led Li Zishan away.
Sister Zhang looked at the backs of her two children, one tall and one short, and suddenly felt that time was unforgiving and she was really old. She thought back then, wasn't she also a youthful student? In the blink of an eye, her children were older than these two.
As she sighed, she lowered her head to pack up her things and suddenly found a coin in the ashtray on the table. After a little thought, she knew where it came from. She suddenly laughed and scolded, "You dishonest little brat, don't come to my house for dinner next time."
…
…
Walking on the street, Chen Tinghan could even feel Li Zishan's questioning gaze. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "It's really not a big deal. There are already a lot of people buying and selling vegetables on this street. It's just that the delicatessens have been having a hard time doing business recently. It's a community for the elderly, so it's inevitable that their business ideas are a bit difficult to adapt.
I suggested they think of other solutions. The old way, delivering takeout, is just a temporary fix, not a fundamental solution. I also mentioned a lot of other things. However, since this involves planning for the entire community, it's a collective effort that requires collective wisdom and effort, and we're still in the discussion stage."
"In short, I only provide some methods and contact information. I don't participate in the specific matters. I don't take any shares or profits. It has nothing to do with me."
There are some things that Chen Tinghan did not mention. All market operations on this street, including fish supply and stall management rights, are controlled by the Wang family. Some unknown relative of Wang Kai has actually become the local emperor of this street. Whoever does business, no matter what kind of business, has to pay a protection fee, and a lot of the turnover has to be divided among them.
In this street, and even in the whole Wanghai, businesses have to rely on others for survival. Either the Wang family sucks your blood, or you are skinned alive. There is even an invisible rule in Wanghai - Wang Kai's name cannot be mentioned in any occasion.
This is a taboo. If his men hear you shouting his name, there will be a poor man covered in blood in the corner of the street.
The invisible emperor of Wanghai, this is Wang Kai.
He didn't want Li Zishan to know these things. After all, Wang Kai's relative had been arrested and became a thing of the past. Only by keeping these businessmen from that time would they have the opportunity to hear advice from Chen Tinghan.
"You have a good business mind." Li Zishan didn't realize his deeper meaning. After listening to him, he just gave a simple compliment and didn't react. Instead, he fell silent strangely.
It wasn't until the two of them walked into the residential complex that she suddenly spoke up and asked, "Have you been doing the same thing recently, doing business with Xiaoyu?"
Chen Tinghan was speechless for a moment and said, "Didn't she tell you?"
"Last time after we had dinner at the teahouse, you guys left on bad terms and I had a headache. But on my birthday, the way you guys talked really surprised me."
Chen Tinghan scratched his head, not knowing where to start explaining.
Li Zishan seemed unhappy, and her tone was a little strange. She said, "Xiaoyu is very beautiful, has a good figure, and is rich... So if you tell me the truth, I won't be angry."
Chen Tinghan was confused: "What did you say?"
"Did she, uh, take you, that..." Under Chen Tinghan's puzzled gaze, she whispered, "She took you?"
"?" The two walked side by side. Chen Tinghan kept moving in small steps, slowly turned his head, and looked at Li Zishan with an incredible expression.
Li Zishan lowered his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's a bit outrageous. I'll withdraw. I'll withdraw."
Chen Tinghan freed his hand, patted her head and said, "I really don't know what's going on in your 2D minds, especially a little 2D like you."
"Besides, your aunt Xiaoyu is married, so don't talk nonsense."
"I know this. She's a police officer." Li Zishan tilted her head and said, "She clearly hated police officers before. It's really strange."
"Love is unreasonable and cannot be stopped."
Li Zishan suddenly glanced at him. The girl's intuition told her that Chen Tinghan was hiding a lot of things from her and was unwilling to mention them.
Her attempt failed, so she stopped asking. The two of them walked to the building where Chen Tinghan lived. The community and the corridor were as dilapidated. The blackened gray walls swallowed up the faint light from the faulty lamps, which was quite eerie. Li Zishan's mood suddenly became a little nervous from her initial expectation.
It wasn't because she was afraid of the dark or ghosts, but because the two of them finally got on the elevator. She didn't know if it was the feeling of excess weight caused by the acceleration of the elevator or something else, but she felt a little tipsy.
Chen Tinghan noticed her awkwardness and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there's no one else at my house."
"It's because there's no one at home that I'm worried, okay?"
Chen Tinghan ignored Li Zishan, whose mind was full of strange thoughts, opened the door and walked out of the somewhat gloomy corridor.
His house is an old house. It is the most correct investment that Grandpa Chen Tinghan has made in recent years. He spent a large sum of money to buy land and houses in the countryside and the city in his early years so that his children can enjoy them. In this way, his ancestors were wealthy. Although the house is a bit old, fortunately, the neighborhood is harmonious and an elevator has been installed.
Although it is an old house, the residents are all particular people who want to live a good life. Old Lady Cheng is the most particular among them. She loves to clean when she has nothing to do. She often plows the whole house and there cannot be any dust.
