20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3822 Wenye's Advice

Although they are not wealthy and their families are even experiencing temporary financial difficulties due to the reforms of recent years, the vast majority of them are virtuous and self-disciplined. Their goal in maintaining their virtuous and self-disciplined character is to find a wealthy husband, become the pride of their parents and families, and live a glamorous life.

Just like in Zhao Chang'an's previous life, those so-called high-society yacht parties invited many beautiful women. These women were indeed beautiful, but they were just some minor internet celebrities or socialites who made a living off their youth.

How could a woman from a respectable family act so recklessly?

Girls from top-tier provincial performing arts troupes would never enter such chaotic circles.

So, if you want to pursue a girl here, unless the guy is a high-ranking second-generation rich kid like Zou Xiaojun, or his family has assets worth hundreds of millions, some girls can tolerate their boyfriend's various bad personality traits, and even his affairs with other women.

Other men who pursue girls in the troupe either have good jobs or relatively wealthy or powerful families. For example, their families own companies with tens of millions in assets, or they work in good companies and their parents are at least mid-level managers.

At this point, the girls in the troupe become very picky about the man's personality. If they feel he's a womanizer, has a bad temper, is gloomy, extreme, stingy, petty, or not tall and handsome enough—

They won't talk to the other person, and even if they didn't discover it at first, they'll cut ties immediately once they do.

Being part of one of the province's top theater troupes, they have the confidence and many choices when it comes to choosing a partner.

Just like the three simps waiting for their girlfriends outside the neighborhood tonight: one's family owns a food factory with assets of 10 to 20 million yuan; one's parents both work in public institutions, with the father being a deputy director in a municipal department and serving as a deputy town head in a suburban town before the age of 30; and the other's family owns a luxury goods agency store in the city center's commercial street, while he himself works as a teaching assistant at a public vocational college.

The three men had been waiting in the car for three or four hours. When they came in, Zhao Chang'an glanced at them and saw that they were all well-mannered and had a refined appearance. They treated their girlfriends like queens and were completely obedient to their girlfriends.

Shen Youli's outburst of emotion had gradually subsided. She took a small sip of water from her teacup and said with a smile, "There's a saying circulating in the group that anyone who hasn't slept with the group leader is unqualified. Of course, this specifically refers to women."

Ke Yaqing said with a smile, "That's for them, but not for you. Xiao Shen, you've been in the troupe for a year and a half, and tonight is only your third time."

Shen Youli smiled, her thin lips pursed, offering no explanation.

Ke Yaqing went to take a shower first. Shen Youli went into Ke Yaqing's bedroom, took toiletries and a change of clothes from her bag, and then also pushed open the door to enter the bathroom.

Zhao Chang'an was a little envious. This was also a difference between men and women. Women often like to bathe together, scrubbing each other's backs and chatting and laughing.

But if a man washes like that, not only would outsiders find it strange, but even the two men themselves would find it ridiculous and unbearable.

Zhao Chang'an initially said he would ask Wen Ye tomorrow because he wanted to get rid of Shen Youli and stop her from getting in the way. However, now that things are like this, Zhao Chang'an thinks he can call Wen Ye and hear his opinion.

"What's the matter?"

The phone rang several times before being answered. Wen Ye asked on the phone, and Zhao Chang'an could hear the echo from inside, indicating that it must be in the corridor.

"Still working? It's past eight o'clock."

"I'm having a small talk with Ericsson's team and the leaders of the port office. Boss Yao is meeting with a visiting group tomorrow morning, and the office wants to get a heads-up beforehand and do some research for the report. The deputy director of the office just asked me privately if you'll be attending tomorrow, and I was just about to call you to ask."

"I will not participate. Green Garden is holding its annual meeting in the next few days, and it is inconvenient for me to appear on television."

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Xuecheng remains silent at this time. Currently, the share transfer of the Rose Group has been completed, and there is no longer any share entanglement between Zhao Chang'an and Shan Qiang.

If there's any connection between them, it's that both of them hold shares in Green Garden Group.

Shan Qiang directly holds 21% of Green Garden's shares, while Zhongyuan holds 30%.

Zhao Chang'an holds 20%, ranking second among Luyuan's shareholders. Before the Lunar New Year, Shan Qiang obtained Xing Zheliang's shares from Huang Juan. Afterwards, several small shareholders on Xing Zheliang's side, who had originally followed his father but later believed in Xing Zheliang and aligned themselves with him, also sold their shares to Shan Qiang.

Currently, Shan Qiang holds 30% of Zhongyuan United's shares, lower than the 40% held by Jin Guangren and his five sworn brothers, making her the second largest shareholder.

When Green Garden Group was about to hold a general meeting of shareholders, Zhao Chang'an's arrival in Zhengzhou was not necessarily a good thing in the eyes of Shan Qiang and Xiao Xuecheng.

If he can attend the meeting and chat happily with Shan Qiang, the president of Green Garden Group, and have a warm and friendly dinner with the new shareholders, such as Mu Yongjin, then the rumors circulating outside that Zhao Chang'an and Shan Qiang were at odds and that the Jiangzhe consortium had been expelled from the group will naturally be dispelled.

This will have a positive effect on the group's corporate image, future business development, and especially on the stabilization of the stock price and its potential to rise again to 80 billion.

However, if Zhao Chang'an arrives in Zhengzhou and frequently appears on television, but fails to attend the annual meeting of all shareholders and senior management of Luyuan Group, then the conflict between him and Shan Qiang will be considered a confirmed fact.

Zhao Chang'an's decision not to show up tomorrow is tantamount to sending a clear signal to Green Garden Group: I will not attend Green Garden's meeting, but I will also try my best not to provoke you and the shareholders.

This is much more comfortable and peaceful than if he shows up tomorrow, but leaves Shan Qiang and the others wondering whether he will attend the group meeting, and with a high probability that he won't.

Wen Ye had already guessed that Zhao Chang'an wouldn't participate, and said to him, "Then I'll talk to them. Is there something wrong?"

"It's a little complicated; it would take a few words to explain."

"You said."

Wen Ye's voice became clear and echo-free. He had moved to a different spot, probably standing by the window at one end of the corridor.

"When I went to Ke Yaqing's place for dinner, there was a large group of girls, all of them top-notch dancers at the provincial level. You could pick any one of them with your eyes closed—they were all slim and slender, and their looks and demeanor were absolutely stunning."

Get to the point!

Wen Ye was getting a little impatient: "I can make them wait in the conference room, but the time wasted here will have to be used to postpone our meeting."

"Hehe, you're so unromantic, for a hot-blooded young man in his early twenties."

Zhao Chang'an jokingly said to Wen Ye, "Shen Youli from yesterday was also there—"

Try to explain the situation as concisely as possible.

"Give her a massage."

Wen Ye's answer was concise and without hesitation, probably because she was afraid that Zhao Chang'an would do something as terrible as what happened with Lin Xiaojie again.

He cautioned, "But you must not use your breath. If you cause facial paralysis, that would be a real problem. Lin Xiaojie's nerves are very resilient, unlike the nerves in her face."

"Just randomly pressing buttons?"

Zhao Chang'an was surprised: "This works?"

“You two, one a man and one a woman, your slickness is alright, massage can relieve mental stress. I hadn’t considered her situation before, you’d better ask her again, like what she was like when she was stressed as a child, there’s always a reason for that.”

Zhao Chang'an ended his call with Wen Ye, his expression a little strange. He felt that Wen Ye seemed to really want him to give Shen Youli a casual massage.
