"It's still useful against women." Guo Jinyuan smiled faintly.
"What about the monkey picking peaches move?" Fang Zhicheng was a little unhappy. The black tiger heart-ripping move was the one he practiced the most.
Guo Jinyuan sighed in frustration. Fang Zhicheng had been learning martial arts from him for a while. At first, he had been learning some simple grappling techniques step by step, but recently he had asked him to teach him some insidious moves. "Boss, I want to remind you that insidious moves are too lethal. If you don't pay attention, you might get into trouble."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I don't practice martial arts to strengthen my body. If my self-defense skills are not a little bit brutal, how can I win with one move?"
Guo Jinyuan smiled and said no more. At this time, Fang Zhicheng's phone rang. After answering, Zhu Youming's voice came soon, "Mr. Cheng, I'm getting married. Remember to come to the wedding."
Chapter 0427: A Hero's Temptation of Beauty
Zhu Youming is now a big boss in name only. The last time they met was during the Chinese New Year. He handed a bank card to Fang Zhicheng and left in a hurry after a short chat. Fang Zhicheng had not checked the amount of money on the card in detail, but it was enough to buy a high-end car.
Zhu Youming is one of the few classmates who still keeps in touch with Fang Zhicheng. He is also very grateful for Fang Zhicheng's strong support in the early days of his business, so he personally gives money to Fang Zhicheng every year under the pretext of dividends. In the past, he brought cash, but now that the dividends are larger, Zhu Youming helped Fang Zhicheng apply for a bank card.
Zhu Youming created a fast hotel chain brand "Romantic Guest" based on the original hotel, which mainly provides three-star hotel services for business and tourist groups. Zhu Youming obtained venture capital last year and increased the number of chain stores to 60 in just half a year. It is expected that in the second half of this year, it will be ready to expand beyond Huainan and target the national market.
The reason why it was favored by venture capital was mainly because the brand of "Romantic Guest" was well-known, and it used "Travel Safety Network" as its main publicity platform and utilized the emerging tourism e-commerce to promote the hotel. Travel Safety Network was a website acquired by Hongda Group in 2006 that provided tourism product information. On this website, tourists can snap up low-discount air tickets and book hotels at the same time, which attracted a large number of registered members.
Romantic Guest often appears in the main advertising position of the website, so it quickly attracts the attention of a large number of members. Of course, this is also because Romantic Guest has investment from Hongda Group, so it can receive special attention.
Zhu Youming had already been preparing to list Romantic Guest last year. Once a large amount of funds were raised, the layout of chain stores could be expanded rapidly. Of course, all this was supported and controlled by Hongda Group. However, this also shows that Zhao Qingya, chairman of Hongda Group, has a diversified investment strategy that is no longer limited to traditional commercial real estate and the real economy, but has set his sights on the business opportunities brought by the development of the Internet.
Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile: "You have changed so many girlfriends in such a short time. It is not easy for you to make up your mind to get married. I am very curious about who your partner is."
"Wang Meijia..." Zhu Youming said a little embarrassedly.
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that after going around in circles, you would eventually return to the starting point. This is also good. Only love that has experienced twists and turns can last long. I wish you a happy wedding."
Although Fang Zhicheng felt that Zhu Youming finally chose Wang Meijia, it was better than him being confused and looking for comfort everywhere. Zhu Youming seemed to be promiscuous but loyal, and it was the best outcome for him to marry Wang Meijia.
Zhu Youming said with some guilt: "You won't blame me for being useless, right? I dated so many women, but I still couldn't forget her. Later, we met by chance in a nightclub, drank a lot of wine, talked about many things, and somehow we got back together."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Although Wang Meijia betrayed you once, she learned a great lesson, so I think she will cherish you more in the future."
Zhu Youming said calmly, "I hope so. I've figured it out. Since fate has brought us together, let's just let it be. My mom is pushing me too hard. She told me to get married quickly or she'd sever the mother-son relationship with me. I have no choice."
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "Getting married early is also a way to fulfill your filial duty. I can understand that."
Zhu Youming knew Fang Zhicheng's situation very well. He lived in a single-parent family and his mother had passed away a few years ago. Knowing that he had touched on his sad past, Zhu Youming changed the subject and said, "You are not a child anymore. Chairman Zhao has such good conditions. You must seize the opportunity and never let her escape."
When Fang Zhicheng saw Zhu Youming mention Zhao Qingya, he sighed inwardly. He naturally had many improper thoughts about Zhao Qingya, but getting married would be quite difficult. Firstly, it was a matter of mutual consent, and secondly, Qin Yuming still lived in his heart, and he had made vows and promises to her.
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "You'd better serve Wang Meijia well."
After chatting with Zhu Youming for a while, we both sighed and said that time is like a knife. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. We have experienced many stories and the past events in school seem like a dream.
Zhu Youming reminded: "Do you remember Li Yan?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Of course I remember. She is the most beautiful girl in the school swimming team. She swims faster than the ordinary male players."
Zhu Youming joked, "I heard that she took the initiative to pursue you, but you rejected her because you didn't understand romance. I wonder if it's true or not?"
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and smiled bitterly, "Where did the rumor come from? We just had a good relationship at the beginning and occasionally trained together. After graduation, we never contacted each other again. I don't even know what she is doing now."
Zhu Youming said with emotion: "She is already married. Her husband is a real estate developer. I heard that her marriage is not going well. I will invite her to my wedding. You can catch up with her then."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and scolded, "How can you match couples like this? She's already married. Do you want me to ruin someone else's marriage?"
Zhu Youming laughed and said, "I was just joking with you. In fact, if I didn't know you were very busy, I would have asked you to be my best man. After so many years since we graduated from college, you and I are still the best friends. You must come to Qiongjin a day in advance and accompany me to the bachelor party."
"I'll try my best to arrange the time." It was precisely because of his good relationship with Zhu Youming that Fang Zhicheng spoke so casually.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhicheng looked out the car window. His memories of college days were not very deep. Due to his special family circumstances, Fang Zhicheng put all his energy into studying. For this reason, he missed out on many stories that every student would experience, such as love and skipping classes. If given another chance, would he change his lifestyle
As his thoughts wandered, Fang Zhicheng was suddenly attracted by a figure. He quickly called out to Guo Jinyuan and said, "Pull over!"
Guo Jinyuan turned on the turn signal and parked the car steadily on the side of the road. Fang Zhicheng stepped out from the back seat, walked back a few steps, stopped next to a white car, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wu, do you need help?"
Wu Haiyan's car broke down and she was anxiously waiting for help. Fang Zhicheng happened to see her and got out of the car to ask. Wu Haiyan looked embarrassed and said, "County Magistrate Fang, you have a lot of things to do. I have called the 4S shop and they will arrange someone to come and help me fix it later."
Fang Zhicheng looked around the car and saw that one of the wheels was punctured and had completely collapsed. He sighed and said, "Then I'll stay with you for a while."
Wu Haiyan wanted to refuse, but seeing Fang Zhicheng's sincerity, she was a little touched. If it were in the past, her first reaction would be to call her husband Jiang Zhao, but now the person she could not tell the most was Jiang Zhao, as she had to deal with all the troubles alone.
Wu Haiyan is a woman after all, and she needs a strong arm to rely on. Fang Zhicheng's appearance at this moment undoubtedly plays the role of timely assistance, so Wu Haiyan hesitated for a while, and still agreed to let Fang Zhicheng accompany her.
Fang Zhicheng asked Guo Jinyuan to wait for a while. After waiting for about ten minutes, the after-sales staff of the 4S store finally came and checked it. The after-sales staff shook their heads and smiled bitterly, saying, "Mr. Wu, I'm afraid we have to tow the car back. It can't be repaired on this main road."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "It's just a broken tire, can't you just change it?"
The after-sales staff explained: "It's not that simple. It's not just the tire that's punctured. There are also many hidden dangers in the brake components, so we have to tow it back to the 4S store for a detailed inspection. This is all for your safety."
Wu Haiyan fell silent and sighed, "Well, then just tow it away. I'll pick it up from your 4S store in two days."
The after-sales staff filled out a form for Wu Haiyan, and then called a tow truck. Fang Zhicheng saw Wu Haiyan's sad face and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you gave me a ride twice before, so I will give you a ride today. It's just a good way to repay the favor."
Wu Haiyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble County Magistrate Fang."
