"Boss, Ping, I'll still call you boss from now on. You can call me Wei."
Sitting in the car, smoking a cigarette, Zhao Wei suddenly spoke.
Tang Ping glanced at him and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are we being so distant with each other?"
Zhao Wei was a little embarrassed and said, "Things are different now. Your business is so big. If I still call you A-Ping, it would be a bit inappropriate. Besides, it's not good in front of outsiders."
"Okay, Wei."
Tang Ping felt a little helpless, and when he called out "Awei," he suddenly felt like laughing.
"Boss, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered a joke."
Tang Ping shook his head.
Ah Wei is dead. You chose him, idol!
Even if Zhao Wei heard this joke, he probably wouldn't understand it.
The two waited for a while, but Meng Yu still hadn't come out. Suddenly, a BMW drove up and blocked Tang Ping's car.
A young man in a white suit stepped out of the car, his hair slicked back and shiny. He was holding a large bouquet of pink roses and stood at the door waiting, glancing at himself in the rearview mirror.
"Boss, is this guy here to pursue Meng Yu?" Zhao Wei asked.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "What a coincidence! There are lots of beautiful female reporters in the building."
As the two were talking, Meng Yu and two colleagues came out of the building.
The young man in the white suit immediately walked over with the flowers in hand. In front of everyone, he knelt on one knee and said with deep affection, "Meng Yu, I like you. Be my girlfriend! I swear, I will love you for all eternity!"
Wow! How romantic!
"A confession on the spot! Who is it?"
"Young Master Zhang doesn't know? He's a famous rich second-generation in Kyoto. His family is in real estate. They developed more than a dozen high-end residential complexes in Kyoto."
"Tsk tsk, Meng Yu is so lucky!"
Such a romantic scene immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers, who exclaimed and discussed it.
But Meng Yu felt very embarrassed and didn't even glance at the young master Zhang before heading straight away.
Young Master Zhang immediately stood up, blocking his way, and said sincerely, "Meng Yu, please promise me, I mean it."
Zhao Qian, who came out with Meng Yu, immediately blocked her way and yelled, "Zhang Chao, don't you know a good dog doesn't block the way? Meng Yu doesn't like you, and besides, she has a boyfriend. Get out of my way!"
Ignoring everything else, Young Master Zhang continued shamelessly, "I don't believe it, Meng Yu. I've made a reservation at a Western restaurant. I'll treat you to Western food, caviar, which costs tens of thousands of yuan a bowl."
Tang Ping couldn't stand it any longer, so he got out of the car, walked over, and pushed this young master Zhang, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Tang Ping didn't even glance at him, walked straight up to him, and said, "Meng Yu, Xiao Qian, get in the car!"
"Tang Ping, you're here," Meng Yu said with delight.
Zhao Qian said, "Don't misunderstand, Meng Yu has nothing to do with him. It's this guy who has been pestering us. He's come downstairs several times already, and Meng Yu is so annoyed."
Tang Ping held Meng Yu's hand and laughed, "I know, when something like this happens, it should be handled by a man. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Forget it, don't cause trouble," Meng Yu said with some concern.
Tang Ping said calmly, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
At this moment, Young Master Zhang finally got up from the ground, looking furious, and said, "Damn it, who the hell are you? How dare you try to steal my woman? Do you even know who I am?"
"Who are you?" Tang Ping asked with a calm smile.
"My name is Zhang Chao, and my dad is Zhang Yuanchang. Most of the real estate developments in Kyoto belong to my family. You little punk, you dare to mess with me? I think you're asking for death!"
As Zhang Chao spoke, he took two steps forward, clenched his fists, and was about to rush forward and attack.
However, as soon as he walked up to Tang Ping, Tang Ping suddenly kicked him in the stomach.
"Aww!"
Zhang Chao screamed in pain, clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground again.
Tang Ping smiled and said, "Want to fight? Come on, let's have a duel between men today. Whoever loses has to kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, and never bother Meng Yu again. Do you dare?"
"you......"
Zhang Chao stared at Tang Ping, too pained to speak.
Tang Ping suddenly shouted, "One word: Do you dare? If not, get lost!"
Zhang Chao was so frightened that his face turned pale. After scrambling to his feet, he immediately rushed to his car, started the engine, and shouted out the window, "You just wait, I'll get someone to teach you a lesson! You're going to die!"
After saying that, as if afraid that Tang Ping would catch up, he drove off in a flash.
Meng Yu walked over and asked, "Tang Ping, will you be alright?"
Tang Ping laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? You're really afraid that this coward will seek revenge on me?"
"Tang Ping, this Zhang Chao is no ordinary person. His father has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles in Beijing. Many big shots we see on TV treat him with great respect. You'd better be careful and go back to Jinghai as soon as possible," Zhao Qian reminded him from the side.
Upon hearing Zhao Qian's words, Tang Ping became wary.
Better safe than sorry. In TV dramas, villains like this usually come looking for revenge.
"It's okay, let's go eat first."
Tang Ping thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
While accompanying Meng Yu and Zhao Qian shopping and eating, Tang Ping took a break and called Bai Tianhang: "I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Zhang Yuanchang?"
"What's wrong? This guy has quite a background. He's in real estate in Kyoto. Who doesn't have some tricks up their sleeve? He has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. But he's too shrewd. If you want to do business with him, you should be careful," Bai Tianhang said.
"No, his son was harassing Meng Yu, so I beat him up."
"Is that so? Why didn't Meng Yu tell me?"
"Maybe he's afraid of causing you trouble. So, can you handle this person?"
"What a joke! He dares to mess with my sister? Even if he's the King of Heaven, I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll have my old man beat me up. Everyone has connections; it's just a matter of who's willing to sacrifice the most. Don't worry, if he dares to cause you trouble, give me a call."
With Bai Tianhang's words in mind, Tang Ping felt more confident.
No matter how powerful Zhang Chao's family is, Bai Tianhang can handle them, so there's nothing to worry about.
The three of them spent the whole evening strolling around, enjoying delicious food, and admiring the night view of the Forbidden City.
"It's almost time," Zhao Qian said with a grin. "I've been a third wheel all night, so I won't disturb your good time anymore. I'll head back now."
"I'll have Ah Wei take you," Tang Ping said.
"No need, it's very close by bus."
Zhao Qian waved her hand and boarded the bus carrying a bunch of shopping bags.
It was getting late, and Tang Ping was also planning to go back. He and Meng Yu were sitting in the back seat when, just as they were driving back to their apartment, a traffic accident suddenly occurred ahead of them.
Traffic jam!
