Chapter 3535 Zhao Chang'an's Theory of Friends

"You actually compared beautiful young girls and charming young women to stinky tofu and stinky smoked fish. You really have no idea."

Zhao Chang'an glanced at Chu Guangying, who was sleeping inside the glass window, and wanted to jokingly ask what she was, but then thought it was inappropriate, since she would be his sister-in-law in the future.

He smiled and didn't continue the topic he hadn't finished talking about. He said to Wen Ye, "It's over. Those two are as anxious as if a cat is scratching at their hearts."

"The friends you chose are all weirdos."

Wen Ye, who has only had Zhao Chang'an as a friend since childhood, sometimes feels that Zhao Chang'an's criteria for choosing friends are somewhat skewed in terms of values.

"It's not that I'm choosing friends, but that I'm choosing friends based on my needs. Zhai Shaobai and Dong Jisi weren't initially adversaries; later, they could sit together, drink, and boast. Of course, they don't have that right now, nor do their fathers. The dictionary defines a friend as 'someone whose understanding is connected to yours on a certain level, and who can offer help when the other needs it.' Do you understand?"

Zhao Chang'an left these words, hoping Wen Ye would think about them, and then went downstairs to leave.

This four-story office building has sixteen rooms on each floor and is located in front of the basketball court in the center of the compound. It faces south and has separate dormitories for male and female employees. Female employees live in the small building on the west side and some brick houses, while male employees live on the east side.

In this era, the separation between men and women is still quite deep. Although it began to break down first in major coastal cities and universities, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, YiNan still chose the traditional model.

Of course, there's no dorm supervisor like those in universities who forbid boys from sneaking into girls' dorms. As long as the girls are willing, boys can occasionally sleep in there without anyone interfering.

When Zhao Chang'an arrived at the door of Ai Qiuqiu's dormitory, he found it locked. He then took out his phone and dialed Ai Qiuqiu's number.

"Chang'an."

"where is it?"

"Airport."

Zhao Chang'an was startled: "Where are you going?"

"We're not going anywhere, just watching airplanes. Listen, the sound of airplanes."

This answer is quite interesting. Zhao Chang'an did indeed hear the roar of the plane, and it was very close, as if it were flying overhead.

It wasn't until several seconds later, when the roar of the plane subsided, that the two were able to continue their conversation.

"I'm at your dorm room door."

"Come over here?"

"it is good."

Zhao Chang'an didn't want to go to Liu Cui's place too early either, and there were some things he hadn't figured out yet. Liu Cui had only sent him a text message at noon, telling him the hotel's location and the private room, so it was obvious that she was always with someone and couldn't make a phone call.

In Zhao Chang'an's view, playing the emotional card is acceptable, but it is unacceptable to use emotions for moral blackmail or to seek a one-sided win.

Especially since this single win wasn't even Liu Cui's, but Liu Mingxiong's group's. Although Liu Cui would receive a kickback, Zhao Chang'an could easily sell these shares for at least 70 or 80 million and give Liu Cui 10 million instead. Wouldn't that be better?

Why should those three old foxes get the shares at a bargain price?
Moreover, Zhao Chang'an had been thinking about this matter the whole way, after deciding to change his attitude towards Luyuan Group and after hearing what Zou Huanan said at noon.

Duan Fengqing has been making every effort to create a green and red tourism city. Zhao Chang'an did not expect to choose her before, but this is in line with the current trend of making cadres younger and increasing the participation of female comrades in management.

Ji Zhenqian is a very pragmatic person, and he has never pursued any unrealistic gimmicks such as industrialization or high-tech development of his jurisdiction.

In a time when cities are striving for industrialization and high-tech development, could we explore a different path, leveraging the unique advantages of our mountain town, to create a sustainable green economy? If so, then Zhao Chang'an should seriously consider regaining control of Rose Culture and Tourism to support the development of his hometown.

So the problem now is not that Zhao Chang'an wants to transfer his shares, but that he wants to find a way to get more shares in Qiangwei Cultural Tourism, or at least reduce the influence of Liu Mingxiong and others in the company to the extreme.

Because from beginning to end, these people never intended to properly develop the cultural tourism industry. Instead, they wanted to continuously expand the scale of the cultural tourism group through mergers, loans, more mergers, and more loans, and then list it on Hong Kong Island.

As for the specific operations, whether they lose money, the numerous bad debts, and the destructive alterations to tourist attractions, they simply don't care.

Zhao Chang'an drove to the airport, bypassed the outer ring road, and sure enough, saw Ai Qiuqiu's red Xiali parked on the side of the open road.

The car stopped behind the Xiali. Zhao Chang'an got out of the car, carrying a bag of tangerines and melon seeds he had bought by the roadside. He heard Ai Qiuqiu calling him. Looking at the sandy hillside over there, he saw Ai Qiuqiu standing in the jujube grove, waving at him.

Zhao Chang'an walked into the jujube grove. Behind him, a passenger plane was taking off, roaring toward this direction.

He climbed to Ai Qiuqiu's side. The huge white passenger plane roared past them at a height of a hundred meters, even stirring up the wind and blowing the jagged branches of the jujube grove.

Why did you decide to come here to watch airplanes?

Zhao Chang'an asked Ai Qiuqiu.

"Because every time a plane roars overhead, it makes my mind go blank for a moment."

Ai Qiuqiu answered with a smile. She sat down again, without anything under her bottom, just sitting on the sandy ground.

Zhao Chang'an wasn't a particularly fastidious or obsessive-compulsive person. He sat down next to Ai Qiuqiu, took out two tangerines from his bag, and handed one to her.

"It's such a small matter, why make such a fuss?"

Ai Qiuqiu peeled a tangerine, ate it, and said with a smile that made her eyes crinkle, "So sweet."

Zhao Chang'an originally wanted to ask Ai Qiuqiu, but seeing her like this now, he didn't want to ask anymore and thought he would just let things slide.

Although he still couldn't understand where Ai Qiuqiu's logic came from.

Sometimes, when you look at a person, you only see the surface. Just like when Zhao Chang'an and Liu Yihui first looked at Ai Qiuqiu and Sui Xuemeng.

Sui Xuemeng, who put a one-yuan note in Liu Yihui's bowl, gives the impression of being beautiful and kind-hearted, while Ai Qiuqiu feels that she has the personality of a petty bourgeois, cultivated from childhood in a small merchant family, realistic, and even a bit mercenary.

However, regardless of whether her actions were right or wrong, Zhao Chang'an looked at her with new respect this time. At least she was ruthless and heartless.

Moreover, she knew that this couldn't be hidden at all, so she was able to do it openly and honestly, meaning that she was the one who did it and that she was the one who reported her best friend.

That in itself requires courage.

Perhaps she is still realistic and mercenary, but she has courage and dares to face things, which is a very good quality in itself.

Even bad quality is still quality.

To be honest, Zhao Chang'an was a little disappointed in Sui Xuemeng.

Your first impression was too shallow. Since you knew there was a deposit slip inside your down jacket, why didn't you tell Liu Yihui?
That one or two million at most was nothing to Zhao Chang'an and Liu Yihui, yet they unknowingly became accomplices.

Secondly, he was being too clever for his own good, using Zhao Chang'an's name to intimidate others.
