"What are you doing? Trying to poach my people?" Zhan Beiwang shoved the money out of his bag at Huo Dongfang with an air of self-righteousness. "Huo Dongfang, I'm warning you, you can use my money, but you can't poach my people!"
Huo Dongfang: "..."
He put the money back into Zhan Beiwang's hand.
"Xingxing is eighteen this year. After graduating from university, she will have to think about her personal life."
“Her father is not here, and she has no other elders, so naturally I have to consider her situation.”
Zhan Beiwang deliberately put on a shameless sales pitch, "What do you think of me?"
"No way!" Huo Dongfang said with a look of disgust. "You're too old. There's too much of an age gap between you and Xingxing. You won't have anything in common."
Zhan Beiwang looked at Huo Dongfang, who was worrying like an old father, with amusement and said slowly, "Huo Dongfang, you think he's too old for someone older than Ye Fanxing."
"You think someone younger than Ye Fanxing is immature."
"You wouldn't look down on anyone from a less privileged background than Ye Fanxing."
"People with better family backgrounds than Ye Fanxing don't even look at her."
"If you ask me, let's put this person's problem aside for now. You need to make Ye Fanxing the brightest star. If she can shine on her own, why does she need a man to add to her glory?"
Zhan Beiwang thought to himself that if Huo Dongfang hadn't gotten into trouble, he might have considered bringing Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang together.
But he grew up with Huo Dongfang, and he understands Huo Dongfang.
He has principles!
Adhere to principles.
He could not possibly have any improper thoughts about Ye Fanxing.
So, instead of doing that, it would be better to just dismiss Huo Dongfang's absurd ideas.
"Zhan Beiwang, what you said makes sense."
Huo Dongfang carefully considered what Zhan Beiwang had said, and it made sense.
Ye Fanxing should strive to be an excellent person in her own right, instead of placing her hopes on others.
"That's right! Don't you know who I am?" Zhan Beiwang lay down on the bed. "I see through all the issues of relationships and marriage!"
Huo Dongfang: "Is it not far from becoming a monk?"
"What do you mean by becoming a monk!" Zhan Beiwang leaped to his feet, brimming with heroic spirit, and declared, "I'll talk about becoming a monk after I've avenged my country!"
Huo Dongfang suddenly laughed when he saw Zhan Beiwang's unserious behavior.
When Zhan Bei saw Huo Dongfang smile, he smiled too.
"Alright, go wash up, let's go eat."
Huo Dongfang took a shower and changed his clothes.
After he finished getting ready, he and Zhan Beiwang went to knock on Ye Fanxing's door.
"Xingxing, time to go out!"
"Here I am!"
The only slightly decent piece of clothing Ye Fanxing wore was the red dress Huo Dongfang had given her.
She was wearing a red dress, her slightly damp hair loosely draped over her shoulders.
As soon as the door opened, a breeze blew through, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.
"Uncle Huo."
Huo Dongfang saw that Ye Fanxing had wet hair. "Xingxing, go dry your hair, and then we'll go out."
Ye Fanxing obediently went to dry her hair with a towel, but Zhan Beiwang called out to Huo Dongfang.
"On such a hot day, my hair will dry in less than three minutes under the sun. There's no need for all that trouble."
Zhan Beiwang made a gesture.
"Huo Dongfang, you're not hungry, but Xingxing is. Put everything else aside for now and go fill your stomach first."
Huo Dongfang hadn't had time to introduce Zhan Beiwang to Ye Fanxing.
“Xingxing, this is my comrade-in-arms Zhan Beiwang. You can call him Uncle Zhan.”
Zhan Beiwang was the first to disagree, "Don't call me uncle, call me Brother Wang. I'm still so young, I don't want to be promoted in seniority."
Huo Dongfang said indifferently, "Fine, whatever you want."
Zhan Beiwang is an outgoing person and is a well-known social butterfly in the compound.
In contrast, Huo Dongfang was introverted and reserved.
The two had a very close personal relationship.
Zhan Beiwang knew that Huo Dongfang had come to Shanghai, so he specially arranged for a car.
After getting in the car, he stepped on the gas and drove straight to the Peace Hotel.
Zhan Beiwang led Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing into the private room with practiced ease.
It was Ye Fanxing's first time visiting the Peace Hotel, and she was very curious about it.
"Zhan Beiwang, there's no need to spend so much money. Let's find a small shop..."
Zhan Beiwang, with his wealth and magnanimity, said: "That won't do. We're already in Shanghai, how can I let you make do with whatever you want! The welcome banquet must be arranged to a high standard. Besides, the reason for choosing the Peace Hotel is that I have a personal matter to attend to."
"Then you go ahead with your work, we won't bother you."
As soon as Huo Dongfang spoke, Zhan Beiwang said self-deprecatingly, "What do I have to be busy with? It can be resolved in a few words. You guys order first, I'll be right back."
The private rooms on the second floor offer a perfect view of the lobby on the first floor.
Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing sat down and saw Zhan Beiwang walk straight to a spot near the street.
Zhan Beiwang strode up to the other person, and as soon as he stood still, he saw that the person sitting opposite him was actually Lu Xiangrong.
"Lu Xiangrong, it's you?"
Zhan Beiwang carefully recalled the meeting place his mother had told him about the blind date.
Peace Hotel.
Table number three by the window.
There was a single rose in the vase on the table.
When Lu Xiangrong saw that her blind date was Zhan Beiwang, she was also full of surprise.
"It's you?"
When Zhan Beiwang discovered that his blind date was Lu Xiangrong, he didn't even want to sit down and said directly, "Lu Xiangrong, since you are my blind date, let's each refuse the matchmaker."
Zhan Beiwang dislikes Lu Xiangrong because of Huo Dongfang.
He didn't even want to spend any more time with Lu Xiangrong.
What should he say if Huo Dongfang finds out he's with Lu Xiangrong?
