20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3800 Fan Chao is actually not suffering
"I'll call Fan Chao."

Zhao Chang'an and Wen Ye didn't mention Fan Chao just now. Since they didn't mention him, Wen Ye wouldn't contact him either. So, no matter what Zheng Chi was thinking, he probably wouldn't invite him to come along.

Why did you suddenly think of calling him?

Ai Qiuqiu was a little confused about the logic behind Zhao Chang'an's seemingly disjointed thinking.

"We're all unfortunate people, let's chat."

"He's a man with a tragic fate, are you kidding me?"

"You do not understand."

This is a collection of self-built houses allocated to several villages after the airport was built. There are no streetlights and there is debris and garbage everywhere. Zhao Chang'an saw several fresh dog and cat poops and broken glass on the road. He did not let go of Ai Qiuqiu's little hand and pulled her to avoid the lightning.

He told her, "He's studying taxation at the College of Food Science and Technology. As long as the job requirements aren't too high, he should be fine. His parents are both low-level leaders in municipal departments in Shancheng City. His sister works in the tax department of the Airport Economic Zone, and his brother-in-law is a deputy section chief in the provincial tax department. A 30-year-old deputy section chief in the provincial tax department is quite a big shot from the bottom up. But this guy likes Li Yanqiu, the kind of incurable liking. However, Li Yanqiu has already secured an exchange student position at the University of Science and Technology of China, so I say he's also a person with a hard life."

"What's so unfortunate about that? I also had a crush on a male classmate in high school. Before the college entrance exam, we wrote graduation messages in each other's yearbooks. After thinking it over and over again, I mustered up my courage and wrote in his yearbook, 'I really want to go to university in the same city as you.' He wrote in my yearbook, 'I'm applying to Xiamen University. Do you think you can get in?' So can I also say that I'm unfortunate, and an unfortunate person who is ridiculed?"

Ai Qiuqiu's words made Zhao Chang'an want to laugh. Young and high-achieving boys are always so sharp, until they enter society and are slowly worn down into smooth stones.

Zhao Chang'an is speaking from God's perspective, saying that Fan Chao is also a person with a tragic fate, but from Ai Qiuqiu's perspective now, they don't feel that way at all.

Just like Liu Yihui liked Zhang Xiaoxue, but he doesn't anymore, Zheng Chi liked a female sports student from another class in his senior year of high school, but he hasn't mentioned her since.

Therefore, in their view, these feelings of liking will eventually be worn away and replaced by time and new people they like.

Seeing that the road ahead was much cleaner, at least there were no more deadly weapons like dog poop, Zhao Chang'an let go of Ai Qiuqiu's hand and took out his phone to dial Fan Chao's number.

"Zhao Chang'an, I heard you're back. You came back on a chartered plane."

Fan Chao said happily on the other end of the line, "I was just talking about you with my sister."

"Where are you? Shall we go out for barbecue? I called Lao Zheng. Tian Xue is here too, along with Wen Ye, Ai Qiuqiu, and a few colleagues and friends."

"Okay, I'll come find you at the Aviation Hotel?"

"Where are you?"

Zhao Chang'an asked in surprise.

“I already said it’s with my sister, not at her home in Zhengzhou, but in the staff dormitory of the port area tax department.”

Fan Chao explained, "I'm interning here, and I've also signed a job contract, so I'll basically be working here."

"Come to Weihong Supermarket, do you know where it is?"

"I know, there's a small supermarket near the airport. The owner makes really good fried noodles, and his daughter even asked me a question. It's very close, only five minutes away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. He had previously said that Fan Chao was a man with a tragic fate, but he hadn't really thought about how Fan Chao had married a beautiful girl who was ten years younger than him.

Moreover, this pretty girl is still a young girl, only in her third year of junior high school.

After Fan Chao started working here, he never moved again. Ten years later, he married the elementary school teacher, who had grown into a young woman. In other words, from now on, the two of them will always know each other and keep in touch; it's practically a real-life version of 'raising a wife'.

Zhao Chang'an suddenly understood why his wife not only looked like Li Yanqiu, but also had a personality, habits, clothing, and long flowing hair that were so similar to Li Yanqiu's. He guessed that he had been subtly influencing her since she was a child.

So what's with all the suffering?

On the contrary, Li Yanqiu went to North America as an exchange student. Although she became very famous and was known as a beautiful academician (North American foreign academician), she has always been single.

What's even more tragic is that the artificial algorithms she worked on for analyzing protein molecular structures encountered disruptive AI technology.

While AI technology will accelerate technological development in the future, it will also allow many jobs to be performed independently of human operators, potentially leading to unemployment for many people in their respective fields.

Just like that line in The Three-Body Problem, my defeat of you has nothing to do with you.

So, from this perspective, isn't this kid's so-called obsession and love just a kind of forced sentimentality and pointless whining?
Thinking this, Zhao Chang'an felt a little unhappy.

I'm here, working tirelessly and scheming to make the nanometer system bigger and stronger, competing with the world's high-tech giants, while you're here comfortably playing a nurturing game, and I'm acting like a fool and pitying you!

"What are they talking about that's taking so long?"

Yang Yixin waited for about ten minutes and became a little anxious.

They ate something quick at Jiangcheng Airport that evening, and then Yang Yixin smelled the aroma of the stir-fried dishes from Weihong Supermarket and felt hungry.

At this moment, Wen Ye, Chu Guangying, Yang Yixin, and Tian Xue were waiting next to the small supermarket. The temperature in Zhengzhou was lower than in Jiangcheng. Yang Yixin and Tian Xue were wearing woolen coats and felt a little cold.

"Why don't you two go to that shop over there and get a couple of coats? It'll get cold later."

Wenye suggested.

"Too old-fashioned, I don't want it."

Yang Yixin glanced at the brightly lit clothing store not far away and shook her head in refusal.

He said to Tian Xue, "I thought Zhao Chang'an would call out to that overseas Chinese and the teacher, but he didn't."

The smile in her eyes showed that she was very happy with the result.

Wen Ye didn't know why Ye Yiyi and Zhao Chang'an didn't call out, but he knew very well about the other Lin Xiaojie.

If Yang Yixin chooses to stay at One Nano after graduating this summer, Zhao Chang'an will make her his full-time secretary. Wen Ye naturally already knew about the relationship between Tian Xue and Zhao Chang'an.

Tian Xue and Zhao Chang'an are planning to go to Lin'an to cooperate with Liu Yihui. If Yang Yixin is to serve as Zhao Chang'an's full-time secretary, there are many things that need to be known to her.

Wen Ye explained, "It's about Sui Xuemeng."

Judging from their expressions, they clearly didn't know who Sui Xuemeng was. Although Sui Xuemeng had come to Zhengzhou by chartered plane last time, Yang Yixin hadn't come, and Tian Xue certainly didn't know either.

He felt it necessary to stand up for Zhao Chang'an and briefly explain the matter to the two of them, as well as to Chu Guangying, hoping she could reflect on her actions.
