543. Chapter 543: The Self-esteem of Middle-aged Men



The driver complained: "The road ahead is blocked, and I can't fly over."

Zhao Dafa looked around and found that there was no other way to go, so he simply paid the fare and got off the bus.

As more than half an hour had passed since the call was made and Zhao Dafa had not shown up yet, Shen Hongmei became increasingly uneasy.

Was he delayed on the way, or do you just not want to come?

She didn't have the courage to call and ask, so she just silently set a deadline in her heart.

Wait at most fifteen minutes, no, twenty minutes, never mind, half an hour.

Wait another half an hour, if no one comes she will go back...

"Red plum!"

A familiar voice interrupted Shen Hongmei's thoughts.

When she looked up and saw Zhao Dafa ten meters away, her heart beat faster.

"Brother Zhao." She stood up subconsciously, her cheeks flushed.

When Zhao Dafa came closer, she realized that he was panting and had sweat on his forehead, as if he had just run.

She subconsciously looked around and did not see Zhao Dafa's car.

Did he really come running? Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao Dafa walked up to her and a smell of alcohol rushed into her nose.

She suddenly realized something, "Brother Zhao, are you busy?"

Zhao Dafa smiled and asked her to sit down. He also sat down and said casually, "I'm not busy. When you called me, I was having dinner with some old friends. I was afraid you might be in a hurry, so I came here first."

Shen Hongmei has never been a person who likes to cause trouble for others.

Zhao Dafa's words made her feel uneasy, but at the same time, she felt an indescribable touch and sweetness in her heart.

Which woman doesn’t like to be cared about?

After sitting down, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere fell silent.

Shen Hongmei didn't know how to start the conversation, while Zhao Dafa was taking a breath in secret.

He ran all the way here from the taxi, a distance of two kilometers.

For him, who had been pampered for many years, he was really exhausted.

But he didn't want Shen Hongmei to see through it, as it would make him look like a useless person who couldn't do anything.

Middle-aged men have very strong self-esteem.

"Red plum..."

"Brother Zhao..."

After a brief silence, the two spoke almost at the same time, and the situation became awkward again for a moment.

"You are young, so you speak first."

After all, Zhao Dafa is a veteran in the business world and he resolved the embarrassment with ease.

Shen Hongmei stroked her hair uncomfortably. "That's right, I have something I want to make clear to you first. I had a boyfriend before..."

Shen Hongmei spent about ten minutes telling the whole story of her and Ma Chao's past.

It’s more like confiding than telling.

Zhao Dafa was undoubtedly a qualified listener, being quiet and serious throughout the whole process.

After saying this, Shen Hongmei felt relaxed from the inside out.

The heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart these days seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Hongmei, I really didn't expect you to have such a past. You always look happy and cheerful, and you don't look like you've ever suffered."

Shen Hongmei looked up at the half-moon in the sky, her eyes revealing determination and strength. "It was Mingzhu who led me out of that dark time. It was she who told me that people should look forward and keep moving forward."

"She said that life is long, with some straight lines and some curved lines, some flat and some rugged. Sometimes there are bright spots, and sometimes there are mountains and rivers. Don't look back, just keep moving forward."

Although Zhao Dafa is not educated, he admires educated people very much.

Especially these words, which made him respect Shen Mingzhu even more.

This was also the reason why he was willing to make friends with the Pei family.

Long before Shen Mingzhu started her business, he could see that Shen Mingzhu was not an ordinary woman. This was probably a businessman's natural sense of smell.

"Hongmei, you are willing to tell me about your past, which shows that you trust me. To be honest, I feel sorry for you, but I am also very lucky."

Shen Hongmei turned around and heard Zhao Dafa continue to say: "I have to thank that poor boy who was blind and missed a good girl like you, so I have the opportunity to take advantage of you."

These words sounded like a joke, but they also contained a hidden confession, which successfully made Shen Hongmei blush.

Zhao Dafa looked at her with gentle eyes, "Hongmei, you asked me to come here, so you must have thought it through. Just tell me, it's okay. I will respect whatever decision you make."

Shen Hongmei secretly encouraged herself and took out a pager from her bag.

Under Zhao Dafa's gaze, she blushed and whispered, "I think this is pretty good."

Shen Hongmei couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

The other person was also looking at her.

Their eyes met and quickly separated.

A sweet scent of osmanthus wafted in with the night breeze, and the air became charming.

“Gurgle——”

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"Um."

Shen Hongmei looked calm on the surface, but her toes were so embarrassed that she almost dug out the three-bedroom apartment. She wished she could take out her stomach and throw it away.

It's so embarrassing.

Seeing her embarrassment, Zhao Dafa suppressed his smile and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat something."

Shen Hongmei nodded.

When Zhao Dafa stood up, he staggered, and Shen Hongmei instinctively reached out to help him.

"Brother Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Dafa took her arm and steadied her body, saying with a smile, "I drank a few too many glasses at the dinner, and now I feel a little dizzy because of the alcohol."

"Otherwise, you can go home and rest. I'll go back to the dormitory to eat."

"I'm fine. I just went to eat something to fill my stomach. I just feel a little dizzy."

Hearing him say this, Shen Hongmei hesitated, "Then I will help you walk?"

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"fine."

The two of them supported each other and slowly moved forward.

Where Shen Hongmei couldn't see, Zhao Dafa had a fox-like smile on his face.

It was already half past ten when Zhao Dafa returned home.

Zhao Yun and Ge You were lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When I saw him come back, I quickly made a glass of honey water.

"Mr. Zhao, please have some water."

Zhao Dafa took the water with pleasure, drank half of it in one breath, and then glanced at him, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

"You have to pay the information fee tomorrow, one hundred."

In fact, it was twenty, but Zhao Yun deliberately exaggerated the amount by five times. Anyway, Zhao Dafa would never go to school to ask the teacher.

"Give."

When Zhao Yun saw the banknotes handed to him by Zhao Dafa, he was stunned for a moment, then took a handful and put it in his pocket.

"Mr. Zhao, how much did you drink tonight?"

He seriously suspected that his father was drunk, otherwise why would he casually give him five hundred yuan.

How could Zhao Dafa not see what his son was thinking? Did he really think that he was so drunk that he didn't even know how to count the money?

"Spend it if you're given it, don't ask so many questions."

Zhao Yun could see that Mr. Zhao was in a good mood tonight.

Whenever he was in a good mood, Zhao Dafa would give him pocket money.

The amount of pocket money depends on how good Zhao Dafa's mood is.

This is the most given so far.

Opportunity is fleeting, once lost, it will never come back.

Zhao Yun rubbed his hands and said, "Boss Zhao, please buy me a car."

Zhao Dafa narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you just buy one? You want to buy another one? Can you ride it?"

"I'm not talking about a motorcycle, I'm talking about something with four wheels."

"You can drive my car."

"real?"

"You're dreaming!"

Zhao Dafa stood up, kicked him, then went upstairs to rest, humming a tuneless tune.

Zhao Yun looked at his back and wondered: Did the old man make a fortune today? He is so happy. (End of this chapter)
