On the way.
Chai Ren briefly introduced his fiancee, Zhan Xi, she’s a neurology doctor who returned to work at Beijing’s 301 hospital after studying abroad. That hospital has another na, the "People’s Liberation Army General Hospital".
Like Chai Ren, she was also one who did not want to be bound by marriage so early on. But as ti went on and they got older, Chai Ren was 27, Zhan Xi 28, they decided to get married. They had known and dated each other for over a year before finally deciding to walk down to the aisle.
They planned to et at the entrance to the Palace Museum.
Along the way, Chai Ren kept receiving calls from Zhan Xi because she and her classmate had arrived early, just waiting for them. Facing his fiancee’s urging, Chai Ren showed a submissive side, continuously appeasing Zhan Xi.
The entrance to the Palace Museum - The ridian Gate.
Two beautiful won stood there, holding umbrellas, wearing sunglasses, chatting and dressed very lightly in the sumr. They wore denim shorts that barely reached their knees, attracting the frequent attention of passersby.
But this is Beijing, right under the emperor’s nose.
There were no thugs or rich n who ca to harass them, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
"Xi Xi, you should stop urging him, he must be on his way here." one of the won said.
The one the called Xi Xi was Zhan Xi, "I know, but I don’t like how he throws us aside for his friends. Anyways, most of his friends are no good."
"Uh, maybe this ti it’s a nice friend." Zhan Xi’s classmate Miao Ru laughed.
"Then, let’s make a bet. If he brings a bad friend, you pay for dinner. If not, I’ll pay." Zhan Xi suggested a project they often played during their high school days, betting. In the past, it was for small punishnts like nose pinching or face rubbing.
"No problem, but it can’t exceed a thousand yuan, otherwise, my little wallet can’t afford it." Miao Ru hugged her bag and replied stingly.
"Fine, as long as there’s free food." Zhan Xi laughed cheerfully.
"You haven’t necessarily won yet." Miao Ru said annoyedly.
"Don’t worry, I’m definitely going to win." Zhan Xi was confident. Chai Ren’s friends, there were very few upright ones. It was not that he didn’t want to make friends with decent people but rather the influence of his circles. When a person has many resources, very few can resist overstepping boundaries.
Fortunately, Chai Ren’s style was quite good, he had been a soldier, self-disciplined, and ambitious. Otherwise, Zhan Xi would not have agreed to this marriage. She would rather die than be entangled with a spoiled rich second-generation.
"If you win, I should be worried, not put my mind at ease." Miao Ru pounced on Zhan Xi’s language error.
"Don’t focus on such details, you’re so stingy." Zhan Xi waved her hand dismissively.
"..."
Well, Miao Ru was left speechless.
Just as Zhan Xi finished speaking.
Chai Ren and Tang Qing passed through Tianann Gate to the ridian Gate, which was the entrance to the Palace Museum.
Seeing Zhan Xi,
Chai Ren said ’I’ll go first’ and quickly jogged over. His two bodyguards followed him imdiately. This scene made Tang Qing laugh, but he still gave a thumbs up.
What a man.
If it was him and Lin Jiaxue was afar, he would also rush over.
This was love.
Seeing Chai Ren who was ’sweating profusely’, Zhan Xi said irritably, "Why are you so late? Having dinner with so disreputable friends again..." Her gaze fell on Tang Qing’s student-like appearance, he was far from mature, and she found it hard to say the next two words.
Chai Ren was stunned and quickly explained: "My dear, don’t get it wrong. This ti it’s a real friend who ca from another city. I especially invited him to co to Beijing. Don’t be too cold to him. His friend is the one who saved my life last ti."
Not about the wolf pack and the kidnapping. That kind of thing, he couldn’t brag about it. But he could tell his fiancee about it without going into details, just that he was in danger and then soone saved him.
Upon hearing Chai Ren’s words.
Zhan Xi quickly hid her dissatisfaction.
Chai Ren did not detail the process, but being saved by soone was a fact. And by the looks of it, Tang Qing did not look like an unruly person. Otherwise, his two friends would not have been following him so closely. And they wouldn’t have been looking around like they’ve never seen the world before.
"Okay, for now, I’ll believe you this ti." Zhan Xi was about 80 percent convinced.
"Xi Xi, you have to pay this ti, haha. Hurry up and introduce this man." Miao Ru was very happy to have won a round.
Zhan Xi quickly introduced him: "This is my fiance, Chai Ren, who runs a small, ssy business. And this is my high school classmate, Miao Ru, she is now teaching at Fudan University in Shanghai."
"Hello, hello."
Both nodded and greeted each other.
This was the first ti Chai Ren t Miao Ru. He had never heard of her before. But Miao Ru had often heard news about Chai Ren from Zhan Xi. A small ssy business? Miao Ru smiled bitterly. If what Chai Ren was doing was a small ssy business, then very few people were doing big businesses.
Tang Qing and his friends walked over.
Chai Ren quickly introduced everyone. However, Chai Ren did not introduce their occupations, but their nas. After that, Tang Qing has got two more ’sisters’. Seeing Tang Qing who was so handso that even Chai Ren was jealous. The two won quickly ward up to him and firmly established their ’sister’ status.
Tang Qing can only force a bitter smile and called them a couple of tis.
There was no alternative.
After all, being younger by a more than a decade, if he wasn’t calling them sisters, what should he call them, aunts?
Upon finding out that they all just finished the National College Entrance Examination, Zhan Xi’s resentnt fully dispersed. They are just kids, how can she be angry? Furthermore, finding out Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue were going to study in Fudan in Shanghai, Miao Ru’s goodwill towards them greatly increased. She even sidelined Zhan Xi and began her ’performance’. Basically, she was introducing various things and saying things like "look for her after school starts."
Next.
Lin Jiaxue was swiftly pulled away. With three won huddled together and seeing that Lin Jiaxue wasn’t that talkative, the two others felt even more sympathetic and hurriedly walked away, whispering to each other, occasionally glancing back at the rest of the group.
Tang Qing and Chai Ren trailed behind.
Chai Ren, as a native of Beijing, was very familiar with the Palace Museum and took on the role of a tour guide. Whenever he saw sothing special, he would introduce it, occasionally interjecting his own opinions.
"You two go have a look around." Seeing Li Kai and Feng Sen eager to explore, Tang Qing suggested.
"Alright, we’ll go over there to take so pictures." Tang Qing and Chai Ren were following the three won, they weren’t interested in wandering around by themselves, but it was different for the other two. It was their first ti here and they should have so freedom to explore, shouldn’t they?
"Okay, let’s keep in touch by phone if sothing cos up. If we get separated, we’ll et up at the Gate of Divine Prowess." Tang Qing proposed. The Gate of Divine Prowess is behind the Palace Museum and you usually exit through it after entering through the ridian Gate.
"We won’t get lost, absolutely not."
Having said that, the two of them trotted off. Honestly, walking alongside Chai Ren made them feel quite pressured. Only Tang Qing could laugh and chat freely with Chai Ren, they didn’t dare to speak up too loudly.
In their hearts, they couldn’t help but admire Tang Qing’s courage.
Tang Qing having dismissed Li Kai also had the intention to have a one-on-one chat with Chai Ren.
Chai Ren wasn’t stupid, he imdiately caught on.
"Brother Tang, if you have the chance could you invite your friend to have a al? I’m very grateful for the last deal. Our cooperation afterwards was also quite pleasant, I made quite a lot of money, but I’ve never had the chance to thank him in person." Chai Ren stated one of his intentions, which was also instructed by his dad. Of course, the two of them didn’t really harbor any hopes, they just wanted to gather more information.
As Tang Qing thought: as expected.
He shook his head slightly and replied: "Not in the short term, he’s got a lot of things to handle. Africa is just a part of his business operations, I think you know a thing or two, maybe even more than what I do. Anyway, he doesn’t usually discuss his work with ."
Chai Ren was not surprised either, it was within his expectation.
"I see, it seems I won’t be able to treat him to a al anyti soon, haha." Chai Ren laughed.
"No worries. He’s just busy at the mont. Maybe he has ti next year." Tang Qing gave Chai Ren a sliver of hope. Right now it wasn’t appropriate to interact with Chai Ren too much because the influence of the ’Black Prison’ wasn’t strong enough. Moreover, it was necessary to maintain an air of mystery. They couldn’t let Chai Ren et him anyti he wanted.
Just as expected.
Upon hearing hope, Chai Ren felt joyful. It’s good to have a response, especially when it ca from Tang Qing. He wouldn’t mind the word ’maybe’ in his statent. Given Tang Qing’s words, there’s at least a ninety percent chance.
"Alright, how’s your business doing these days, Brother Tang?" Chai Ren shifted the topic.
"Not bad, thank you for securing the CCTV advertising spot for . As of now, I’m finally making so money. But all the earning are reinvested into the new stores. So, it will still be so ti before I can start making a profit." Tang Qing replied nonchalantly.
"You’re welco, it’s just a little help. By the way, do you have any interest in investing in a money-making business, Brother Tang?" Chai Ren naturally knew that Tang Qing’s company hadn’t made any substantial profit so far and was still in the initial stage of major investnts. If he wanted to win over Tang Qing, he had to help resolve this imminent problem.
Giving him so money would be a good choice.
But how to give was crucial, partnering in business was a shortcut.
With the help of Tang Qing’s friend, he could make an extra ten or twenty billion RMB this year. This huge sum shocked his father. Strictly speaking, the ’United Mining Group of Africa’ dividend alone could account for half of their family’s annual business inco. How could they not take it seriously? Hence, they started to think about strengthening the relationship.
Tang Qing inwardly smiled.
The highlight of this encounter was coming.
Apparently.
’Black Prison’ had really shocked Chai Ren.
"Oh? What business?" Tang Qing inquired.
"Real Estate, Real Estate in Beijing." Chai Ren spit out a few words.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing was taken aback. Real Estate in Beijing, that’s not a trivial matter and the profit is imnse. Everyone knows to what extent the housing prices in Beijing will rise in the future. If Chai Ren could bring him into this, it would be an excellent profit-making business.
And it recoups the investnt swiftly.
After thinking for a mont, Tang Qing agreed.
"That does sound like a good business, but I wonder how much money it would require?" Tang Qing asked curiously, he didn’t have much money on him right now.
"How much money do you have?" Chai Ren asked.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing just sighed. The last ti soone asked him this question he had questioned his life choices countless tis.
PS: Starting from Chapter two, there will be two updates per day. Mouse needs to store up drafts for the Chinese New Year, else it wouldn’t be good to have breaks in between. Ah, how I envy those authors who have tens of thousands of drafts stored.
