The old Buddha smiled faintly and said, "Haoran is becoming more and more sensible."

Zhao Min quickly said, "Haoran has been working very hard recently and has received unanimous praise from his colleagues. Mom, do you think we should let him move?"

The old man smiled kindly and said, "As for work matters, you should ask Qingya. Now she is in charge of the affairs of Hongda Group, I don't care about these things."

Zhao Min was slightly startled, her face showing no sign of concealing her disappointment.

Because of his special status, Zhao Guoyi could not stay for long. After the banquet started, he said a few words of blessing and left quickly. The government has strict regulations on officials hosting banquets. Because the Zhao family has a special status and Lao Foye is a symbolic figure in the business world, Zhao Guoyi also applied to the relevant departments in advance and obtained special approval to hold such a large-scale banquet. This birthday banquet did not invite any government officials. Zhao Guoyi only showed up briefly at the banquet and left quickly to avoid becoming a handle for political enemies in the future.

Because he was sitting at the main table, people came to toast from time to time, so Fang Zhicheng raised his glass many times, but he didn't drink much of the food. Zhao Qingya knew that Fang Zhicheng was not good at drinking, so she found an excuse to leave. Seeing Zhao Qingya and Fang Zhicheng leave, the old Buddha stretched out his hand and waved to a place not far away, and a middle-aged man walked to her side silently.

The old Buddha said softly, "Tell Qingya that I want to have a good chat with her boyfriend alone tomorrow."

The middle-aged man nodded, and then disappeared like a shadow. Zhao Min saw everything, and a smile appeared on her lips. She thought to herself that as expected, the old Buddha would not easily agree to their relationship.

Just after returning to the hotel and entering the room, Zhao Qingya received a call. Fang Zhicheng saw that she was thoughtful and said with a smile: "Is it that the old lady wants to see me?" Fang Zhicheng could guess a little from the conversation Zhao Qingya had just had on the phone.

Zhao Qingya nodded and said with a wry smile: "If you refuse, it's okay not to go." Zhao Qingya looked at Fang Zhicheng with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She knew why the old Buddha wanted to see Fang Zhicheng, and she was afraid that Fang Zhicheng would be hit by the old Buddha.

Fang Zhicheng shrugged, tilted his head and smiled: "Why should I refuse?"

Chapter 0219: One Step Forward Becomes a Scenery

Zhao Qingya's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a ball, and she said softly: "She is not a simple old lady, you may be troubled by her. You have helped me a lot tonight. If you don't want to go, I will reject her request."

Fang Zhicheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Qingya's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Ya, this time it's my turn to help you solve the problem. You always helped me before, but I know you are under a lot of pressure at home. This time I must help you withstand the pressure."

Zhao Qingya's eyes were confused and she smiled and said, "Zhicheng, are you serious?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "Do I look like someone who is unreliable and perfunctory?"

Zhao Qingya lowered her eyelids and suddenly asked, "What you said at the banquet just now was quite unreliable..."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Ya, I am serious about what I said. I don't know what you think, but I really... I have fallen in love with you..."

Zhao Qingya raised her eyes and met Fang Zhicheng's gaze. She couldn't help but feel her heart surge. She stretched out her two jade arms, hooked them around Fang Zhicheng's neck, and offered her red lips. Fang Zhicheng smelled a sweet and soft breath from his nose, and then the refreshing feeling pushed open his teeth and rushed into his mouth.

Fang Zhicheng felt the slight tingling sensation coming from the tip of her tongue, put his arms around her shoulders, and pressed her against the corner of the wall.

Zhao Qingya's body was very soft, like a weak willow. As the two of them kissed passionately, it was like a ball of fire that ignited Fang Zhicheng from the inside out.

Zhao Qingya also became excited, rubbing her hands on Fang Zhicheng's back... After about ten minutes, Zhao Qingya calmed down, pushed Fang Zhicheng away, and thought of her emotions just now. She felt embarrassed and smiled, "What's wrong with us? I feel like I'm taking advantage of you..."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and whispered, "How about continuing to occupy it? Anyway, I'm enjoying it."

Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng unhappily, turned around and got out of Fang Zhicheng's arms, and said softly: "What I did just now was a compensation for your performance tonight. I didn't expect that your acting was so good. At that moment, I really thought that we were in a relationship... But, Zhicheng, from the bottom of my heart, I only regard you as a younger brother, please don't get me wrong."

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled and denied: "Sister Ya, do you have to deceive yourself?"

Zhao Qingya picked up the bag from the sofa, turned around and glanced at Fang Zhicheng, and said softly: "Sometimes people feel more relaxed when they live in lies. Let's all deceive ourselves."

Fang Zhicheng always felt that it was a pity to let Zhao Qingya escape like this. He walked over in two or three steps, grabbed her wrist, gently pulled her, and said softly: "Sister Ya, how about we try to take another step forward? Lies can certainly numb people's nerves, but when the door to the truth is opened, perhaps there will be another scene."

Zhao Qingya was hesitant, and then Fang Zhicheng's cell phone suddenly rang. She gently opened Fang Zhicheng's palm with her little finger and said softly: "Zhicheng, give me a little more time, and today is not suitable..."

Fang Zhicheng suddenly knew what Zhao Qingya was afraid of, and an awkward smile appeared on his face. The two of them had made a high-profile appearance at the Galeries Lafayette dinner tonight, and now he was afraid that there were countless eyes staring at him and Zhao Qingya... At such a special time, if he did something, it would indeed be a little inappropriate...

"Go answer the phone quickly, it might be something important." Zhao Qingya moved closer to Fang Zhicheng, stood on tiptoe and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, then turned and left the room.

Fang Zhicheng stretched out his hand and fished in the air, sighing that the fragrance of the woman was still there. Reluctantly, he turned around and took out his mobile phone from his bag. The missed call showed that it was from Ye Meizi, so he called back.

"Ms. Ye Meizi, it's so late now. Is there anything urgent that you're calling about?" Fang Zhicheng sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a deep puff, and asked with a little resentment.

Ye Meizi felt that Fang Zhicheng's tone was a little off, and said modestly: "Didn't we agree to meet this weekend? Now I want to confirm the time and place with you..."

Fang Zhicheng realized that his tone just now was a bit bad, he secretly sighed, and said with a smile: "If it's convenient for you, why don't we meet now. How about I give you the hotel address and room number?"

"Okay then!" Ye Meizi turned her wrist and found that it was just past eight o'clock, so she naively agreed to Fang Zhicheng's request.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because he didn't expect Ye Meizi to be willing to meet him alone in the hotel so late. He thought that maybe because they had lived together for a short time, Ye Meizi didn't have much guard against him and thought that Fang Zhicheng was a very upright person.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Ye Meizi, wearing a professional women's suit, stood at the door, with light makeup on her face and her hair tied up high. Her well-proportioned figure completely concealed the disadvantage of her height, and her petite and delicate style made people's eyes light up.

Fang Zhicheng welcomed Ye Meizi in and poured her a glass of water. Ye Meizi nodded slightly to express her gratitude, then pushed a paper bag she was carrying in front of Fang Zhicheng and said softly, "This is what Xiaorou asked me to bring back. She asked me to give it to you personally."

Fang Zhicheng took the bag and asked in confusion: "What's in it?"

Ye Meizi smiled and shook her head, "I don't know either!"

Fang Zhicheng was about to open the bag, and Ye Meizi quickly stood up and prepared to leave. Fang Zhicheng stopped Ye Meizi and said with a smile: "Why don't you stay and witness with me what she brought me?"

Ye Meizi said a little embarrassedly: "This seems a bit inappropriate, right?"

Fang Zhicheng laughed twice and asked, "Are you not curious and don't want to know what's in it?"

Ye Meizi was slightly stunned. Fang Zhicheng pointed out the weakness of human nature. Although Ye Meizi had a plain personality, she was inevitably curious.

Seeing Ye Meizi stay, Fang Zhicheng's eyes sparkled, and he took out a long paper box from his handbag, then tore off the transparent tape on the outside. Inside was a large envelope, several women's clothes wrapped in plastic bags, and a piece of colorful letter paper.
