Immediately afterwards, someone suggested, "Why don't we split the bill? Let's all go out to eat together, and not take advantage of the girl!"
After she finished speaking, everyone around her agreed, which was exactly what Chen Huilian had expected.
Why would a man let a woman pay the bill?
These good brothers weren't recognized for nothing; once she was treated as one of their own, no one wanted her to suffer any losses.
And so, in a scattered manner, most of the people raised their hands.
Just as Chen Huilian was about to tearfully express her gratitude to everyone, Zhao Chengguang jumped in again, "Don't do that! Are you deliberately trying to embarrass her?"
"Huilian's family is so rich; one meal from them costs as much as our food expenses for a week—"
"Compared to her, I'm just a beggar. How can a beggar feel sorry for a rich person?"
After making a self-deprecating joke, Zhao Chengguang spread his hands and raised them upwards and backwards as a gesture, "Get up, get up, everyone get up. Don't embarrass Huilian. It's so hard to invite her to dinner, she has to make excuses."
"Are you the Empress Dowager? We have to beg and plead with you! Get up, quick!"
After this whole process, even the male colleague who had previously spoken up for Huilian was speechless.
If you keep dawdling, you're not giving Huilian any face.
Furthermore, they couldn't argue with Zhao Chengguang.
Following the crowd, everyone had no choice but to obediently pack their things.
That wasn't all. Ignoring Chen Huilian's unpleasant expression, Zhao Chengguang arranged cars for everyone, saying, "We're going to drink later, so it'll be more convenient to take a taxi."
His thoughtfulness and patience won him applause. After the meeting, he even asked Huilian, "Considering how well everyone has taken care of you, surely the rich girl wouldn't mind if we hired a few taxis for you to come and go?"
He asked and answered his own question, pushing people in one by one, "Go on, go on, Huilian is so rich, she certainly won't be stingy."
She's not bothered by details; that's how Huilian usually operates at the company.
Taking other people's things as if they were your own, and then saying, "Can I use it for a bit? You won't be stingy, will you?"
Returning those words to Zhao Chengguang, his face practically splitting with laughter.
In front of everyone, Huilian's gums were practically clenched to pieces.
On the surface, however, he could only continue to smile and say, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone's happy, eat and drink well."
Confined to her public persona, what else could Chen Huilian say besides this?
Desperate times call for change. Sun Lifang watched as Huilian's face changed from white to red and then to black, turning a deep liver color, and she was speechless.
Under Zhao Chengguang's "organization" and propaganda, how could anyone possibly order only cheap dishes?
Seafood, abalone, and sashimi—everything is served in a stew.
Laughter filled the air, making everyone leave in high spirits; they had a blast.
It was at this moment that Sun Lifang realized that Zhao Chengguang was a man who, once he made a name for himself, would achieve astonishing success.
He's an expert in everything from jokes and games to drinking and finger-guessing games.
In terms of interpersonal relationships, Chen Huilian was someone all men liked, while Zhao Chengguang was—
He is loved by people of all ages and genders, regardless of gender.
This little rascal infuriated Chen Huilian, yet she dared not vent her anger.
“They’re like two extremes.” Sun Lifang felt a headache just thinking about her best friend. “If Zhao Chengguang had shared some of his social skills with Liu Qing, that would have been great.”
He was wise in his appearance but foolish in his actions, and he made a lot of money while laughing and joking.
He has a stubborn temper and is always ready to resort to violence and fists.
After much deliberation, having figured out Chen Huilian's intentions, Sun Lifang approached Zhao Chengguang and asked him for a favor.
"After organizing Guo Zhimeng's birthday party, I've already helped you find three girls to date."
You understand, right?
One thing at a time, Sun Lifang also started making deals with him.
With Liu Qing's fiery temper, wouldn't she cause trouble again when she gets back?
There are two elderly people at home, and Liu's father has heart disease. What if something bad happens?
After explaining the situation, Sun Lifang placed all her hopes on Zhao Chengguang.
"With him around, the Liu family won't fight."
As for being infuriating, Zhao Chengguang is a master of inflicting anger, capable of taking on a hundred opponents single-handedly. Who can rival him?
Thinking this way, Sun Lifang suddenly felt a sense of anticipation...
