The old lady widened her eyes. She didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to interpret her heart in this way. In fact, Fang Zhicheng was right and spoke to her heart. For so many years, the old lady blamed herself deeply for her son's failed marriage, so she has been carefully protecting her grandchildren. In the eyes of others, the old lady is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that is just a disguise.
As a woman, the old Buddha supported the Zhao family's business. If she was not decisive in killing, how could she convince others? Therefore, when it came to the marriage of her grandchildren, she subconsciously showed a tough style.
In fact, the old Buddha wanted Zhao Qingya to be happy more than anyone else. If Fang Zhicheng didn't look so much like Zhao Qingya's ex-boyfriend, the old Buddha might have turned a blind eye and acquiesced, but Fang Zhicheng looked too much like the man who had hurt Zhao Qingya, so the old Buddha decided to prevent the tragedy from happening again.
The old man sighed and said softly, "I finally understand why Qingya likes you so much. You are very considerate and can guess what I am thinking. But in this case, I hope you can think from the perspective of an old man and leave Qingya. I don't want my granddaughter to be hurt. Emotional pain is far more painful than physical pain. I have been through it too."
Fang Zhicheng saw that the old Buddha's tone had calmed down. After a long silence, he said sincerely, "I understand what you mean. In fact, I hope Qingya can get over the previous emotional injury more than anyone else. Please allow me to try hard. There is a saying that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Perhaps it is because I am so similar to him that I have the opportunity to help her get out of her previous predicament."
The old Buddha stared at Fang Zhicheng deeply, nodded and said: "Qingya has indeed changed a lot since she came back from Yinzhou... As you said, maybe I should change my mind... But if one day you really hurt Qingya, then as her family, I will definitely make you pay!"
At this point, the old lady's originally solemn brows relaxed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. After talking with Fang Zhicheng today, the old lady suddenly found the knot in her heart. Fang Zhicheng's words "There is no need to force yourself to be so inhumane" touched her deep in her heart.
After all, the old Buddha is just an old lady. After the serious illness last year, she became indifferent to many things, so she gradually transferred the power in her hands to her granddaughter Zhao Qingya. In the eyes of many people, even in the eyes of her grandchildren, the old Buddha gave people the impression of being unkind.
But this young man, who I met for only the second time, understood me very easily.
The old lady smiled with relief and changed her previous thoughts. Perhaps she should give this young man a chance. At least from the current situation, Zhao Qingya's mood and mental state are very good. Why should she interfere and cause the situation to develop in a bad direction
After saying goodbye to the old Buddha and leaving the back garden, Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized that the old Buddha had talked to him alone today just to test him.
"Bribery and coercion" was just a different kind of concern from the perspective of family affection from this old lady with a complicated experience. The kind old lady was using another way to make herself treat Zhao Qingya well.
"How did the talk go?" When Zhao Qingya saw Fang Zhicheng coming out, she hurried over to greet him.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Your grandmother is a very, very kind old lady."
Zhao Qingya showed an expression of disbelief, reached out and touched Fang Zhicheng's forehead, and sighed: "Are you mentally disturbed?"
Fang Zhicheng stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Qingya's pretty face, then laughed and said loudly: "I will work with you to honor her well in the future."
The old Buddha was sitting in the stone pavilion. Naturally, he heard these words very clearly. He shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He muttered, "What an interesting boy."
Chapter 0222 The Breath of Death Arrives
Zhao Qingya had her reasons for being uneasy. While she was waiting outside, she began to regret that she shouldn't have involved Fang Zhicheng in her complicated family. Her relationship with Fang Zhicheng was originally unclear, and now letting the old Buddha interrogate him seemed too unfair to Fang Zhicheng.
Only when she saw Fang Zhicheng walking out of the back garden safely did she feel relieved.
Zhao Qingya expressed her gratitude sincerely: "Zhicheng, you helped me a lot this time."
Fang Zhicheng blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "What's that? Compared to the help you gave me, it's nothing."
Zhao Qingya smiled unnaturally and asked in a low voice: "What did the old Buddha say to you just now?"
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said softly, "What else can I say? Most likely, she wants me to take good care of her granddaughter, otherwise, I will be in trouble."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Qingya curled her lips, revealing a look of disbelief. "My grandma has a rather strange personality. If she really said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart."
As the two walked out, Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said sincerely, "Old people are bound to have some strange personalities, but I can feel that she cares about you sincerely, so I respect her very much."
A bystander sees more clearly than an insider. Zhao Qingya and Fang Zhicheng felt very different. She shook her head helplessly and said in a sad tone, "I hope that after she meets you, she won't force me to meet those cats and dogs in a short time."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "From now on, I have an additional identity, that is, Sister Ya's boyfriend. If there is anything in the future, I will be there whenever you call."
Zhao Qingya was very touched, and a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Qingya simply stopped thinking about how her relationship with Fang Zhicheng should be positioned. The key to getting along with each other is to be happy. Zhao Qingya enjoys the current feeling and is afraid that if it deteriorates, she will regret it.
Fang Zhicheng secretly reached out and held Zhao Qingya's soft hand. He had secretly made up his mind that from today on, he would be supported by Zhao Qingya and think of himself as being kept by her.
Keeping someone, perhaps this word can be used to explain Zhao Qingya's current complicated relationship, which is more acceptable to both parties. But this keeping is different from the traditional keeping. The relationship between the two is not mixed with too much lust, but comes from instinctive attraction.
The two left the Zhao family's old house and had lunch at a very distinctive Western restaurant, during which they talked about the development of Hongda Group's e-commerce.
Fang Zhicheng carefully cut the steak with a knife and analyzed: "From the development trend of foreign countries, the next economic growth point will shift to the Internet economy. Now many traditional foreign companies have begun to transform and seek deeper development through e-commerce. This is a very promising industry. Although it is not profitable for the time being, when the time is right and all conditions are perfect, the business opportunities it brings are endless."
Zhao Qingya recently acquired a travel e-commerce website called "Travel Safety Network", which mainly provides hotel reservation and air ticket reservation services. It has a good development momentum and is expected to be listed within one or two years. At the same time, she has also begun to try to build a comprehensive e-commerce platform, but the development of this area is slow.
Zhao Qingya has also had a deep understanding of several large domestic e-commerce platforms, and agrees with Fang Zhicheng's views. However, she still has a certain sense of crisis, "The more difficult problem now is mainly the construction of an Internet payment platform, which is directly linked to funds. If there is a payment platform, then there will be a breakthrough in building a comprehensive e-commerce platform."
There are two keys to operating an e-commerce platform. The first key point is platform construction, maintenance and promotion. Hongda Group is rich and can hire a professional team; but the other important key point is difficult to solve, that is, the Internet payment system. Only with its own payment channel can it cultivate members' payment habits, increase the stickiness of the platform, and avoid members from losing to other platforms.
"Most websites now have payment channels that have no identity, which is a borderline behavior. In the future, the country will definitely regulate third-party payment systems." Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "If Hongda Group wants to get involved in the competition of payment platforms, it might as well seek policy advantages in the payment link. It can ask Governor Guoyi to take action."
Zhao Qingya curled her lips and said, "He is a stubborn person. He will never abuse his power for personal gain. He will definitely not come forward to help me."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said softly: "The key is that you have to make it clear to him that this is not to help you, but to help Huainan."
"Oh?" Zhao Qingya frowned and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"
Fang Zhicheng is very interested in e-commerce. He has recently learned a lot about the field of e-commerce. Now he is talking openly with Zhao Qingya: "E-commerce is a platform for integrating resources. If it succeeds, it will break the current regional monopoly and expand the battlefield to the whole country and even the world. This has unlimited development for Huainan's economy. To give a simple example, the most competitive enterprise in our province is 'Huaijin Electric Appliances'. They have become a competitive platform by setting up a nationwide layout and opening home appliance chain stores. Because of the platform advantage, they can purchase goods from home appliance manufacturers at a low price and then resell them to consumers. If there is an e-commerce platform, then home appliance manufacturers do not need to set up physical stores in various places. Home appliance manufacturers only need to set up a website on the e-commerce platform, and then they can sell goods all over the country, which greatly reduces costs."
"If Huainan successfully builds such a large e-commerce platform, it will have an unlimited impact on the province's overall economy. First and foremost, it will stimulate manufacturers in the province to expand their sales to the whole country. Governor Zhao is a person with such vision and will definitely support Hongda Group's application for an Internet payment license."
Zhao Qingya pondered for a moment, smiled, and said, "Then I'll give it a try. Let's see if I can make that pedantic guy change his mind."
After lunch, Fang Zhicheng returned to the hotel and drove the Jetta to Dongtai. When he entered the Yinzhou Expressway, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There was a dark red truck and a black Santana following him closely.
