Yang Chen: "Yang Chen."
Fang Yingqi: "Yang Chen? The na sounds so familiar, like I’ve heard it sowhere before."
Yang Chen: "It’s like Zhang Wei, a na so common you can have dozens answering when you call it out. It’s not surprising you’ve heard it before."
Fang Yingqi: "Haha... that’s definitely not what I ant. I really have heard it sowhere before. Let’s add each other as friends. Perhaps we can travel together soday. I need a safe and reliable male travel buddy to experience the Sichuan-Tibet line and cleanse my soul in Tibet. I’ve had this plan for a long ti but never found a suitable partner. The trip is almost like Tang Monk’s journey for scriptures, bound to be full of dangers. Without a strong and reliable man accompanying , it’s too unsafe. I can tell at a glance you’re a very reliable and strong man. And... I’ve really seen your na sowhere, more than once, just can’t recall where."
Probably she saw it on the news back when Yang Chen caught the fugitive.
Yang Chen joked: "I admit I’m strong, but I can’t deny that I’m very safe and reliable. Facing a beauty like you, I might sotis be dangerous too. After all, who can guarantee that reason will always conquer desire?"
Fang Yingqi laughed heartily and said: "You’re very straightforward. Others pretend to be gentlemanly while being dirty-minded. I don’t know if you’re dirty-minded, but you’re definitely more honest than them."
Being handso is good, making blunt speech seem honest, while being ugly makes one appear dirty-minded.
The two chatted happily for two hours and, without realizing it, arrived at Jinshan Resort.
After adding each other as friends, Fang Yingqi got out of the car and left.
They had already agreed that when Yang Chen had ti, they’d experience the Sichuan-Tibet line together.
Yang Chen found a parking spot, parked, and got out to join the others.
Inside the resort, Yang Chen called Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang: "Hey, Brother Chen, where are you?"
Yang Chen: "I just got in, where are you all?"
Zhang Yang: "Brother Chen, wait at the entrance. I’ll co get you."
A few minutes later, Zhang Yang ca running over with a smile.
"Brother Chen, I have to tell you sothing." Zhang Yang pulled Yang Chen aside to a spot where there was no one around.
"What’s the matter, being so secretive?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Zhang Yang: "Chen Liang is well prepared this ti. He brought his Porsche Cayenne and his secretary to show off his job, inco, and stuff. I’ve heard about the old grudges between you two from school. I’m afraid he organized this so-called reunion specifically to make things difficult for you."
Yang Chen: "He wouldn’t be that bored, purposely organizing a gathering to show off in front of ?"
Zhang Yang: "Hard to say. Anyway, he’s already shown off quite a bit to us. When you co over, he’ll surely put on another act. If I’d known his intention was like this, I wouldn’t have called you. The main issue is that others seem to be flattering him. When you speak or act, be careful, or you might be targeted by them."
Yang Chen: "Haha... Ah Yang, I’m happy you ca over to tell this. Now that I’m here, there’s no point turning around and leaving. Let him show off if he wants, I’m not losing anything. Let’s go."
The two went to join the main group.
The attendees were all people who used to work under Yang Chen in the external affairs departnt back in the day, including the deputy minister Chen Liang and Zhou Yu, clerk Zhang Yang, Chen Qunyang, Wang Feiya, Zhang Yunyun, Liang Zhentao, and Wu Guandong.
As soon as Yang Chen arrived, everyone ca up to greet him.
"Brother Chen, you’re here!"
"Wow, Brother Chen, we haven’t seen you for years, and you look even more handso now!"
"Hehe... you were my dream lover back then, still as outstanding as ever."
"Brother Chen, seeing your attire now, you must be an executive at a company."
"With Brother Chen’s abilities, being an executive is only natural. It’s unusual if he’s not one."
...
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Hello, everyone, long ti no see. Chen Liang here is more considerate than , organizing a gathering for everyone."
Chen Liang, standing tall and proud, reached out to shake hands with Yang Chen, deliberately showing off his Rolex.
"Minister, your words are making a bit uneasy, like I’m overstepping. I hope the forr minister won’t mind."
Seeing Yang Chen’s hands bare and clothes unbranded (though Yang was actually wearing custom-made clothes by Hiltabells, the chief designer for Louis Vuitton with no visible logo), Chen Liang couldn’t be happier inside.
Yang Chen responded with a smile: "You did well. This kind of thing should be handled by the deputy minister anyway. Back in school, it was you and Zhou Yu who organized the events, and I just needed to give directions. It’s just like the old days, which is great, how could I mind it?"
Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Things are different now. Brother Liang is now the vice president of the Hai City Branch of Shengjin Investnt Bank, driving a Porsche Cayenne, with a 5 million annual salary, a girlfriend who’s the daughter of the CEO — basically a shining example of success."
Chen Liang chuckled and said: "What does this count as? Brother Chen’s achievents now must be greater than mine. Brother Chen, where are you working now?"
At this point, Fang Yingqi’s voice ca over.
"Yang Chen, what a coincidence, seeing you again. I finally rembered who you are, the star driver on the Bibi platform who helped the police catch a criminal. Isn’t that right?"
Upon hearing Yang Chen was a Bibi driver, everyone couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Zhang Yang looked shocked. His idol, in his mind, couldn’t possibly be a Bibi driver.
It felt like his worldview was about to collapse.
In his understanding, Yang Chen must be a company executive, maybe not better than Chen Liang, but surely not much worse.
But...
How could he be just a Bibi driver?
Yang Chen graciously responded: "I didn’t intend to reveal it, but you figured it out."
Fang Yingqi: "Haha... I wondered why I felt you were so reliable, turns out that’s why. Well, I’ll leave you to it. Oh, by the way, when are you heading back?"
Yang Chen: "In the afternoon, I guess."
Fang Yingqi: "How about around three in the afternoon? I’ll book your ride. How does that sound?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Sure! We’ll head back together at three in the afternoon."
Fang Yingqi waved with a smile and turned to leave.
Chen Liang was thrilled, thinking: "Three years! Three years! Do you know how I got through these three years? Finally, everything is as it should be! He’s just an online ride service driver. Haha... it’s hilarious, the talent that teachers and students thought highly of is rely a ride service driver. Heaven, you’ve finally opened your eyes, letting have the last laugh! Haha..."
