Although Zhao Shucheng wanted to be with Qin Qing every day, Qin Qing was a little scared. He made the excuse that he was still busy with the jewelry store and asked Zhao Shucheng to come back to see him in two days.

Seeing that there was nothing much for him to do in the studio, Zhao Shucheng simply gave himself a few days off and drove to the suburbs to collect inspiration, hoping to get some different inspiration and design new products.

However, what Zhao Shucheng did not expect was that at the same time, Shen Di and Song Luo's class were going on an outing on the weekend, and the location they chose happened to be where Zhao Shucheng was.

In order to prepare for Shen Di's outing, Zhou Fang specially packed Shen Di's travel belongings at night. Of course, the most important thing was the telescope, hoping that he could see more beautiful scenery.

When Zhou Fang woke up in the morning, she saw that Shen Di had left, but she found that the telescope she had taken out yesterday was not taken away by Shen Di. When she was about to drive to Shen Di, she found that her car was restricted and she could not drive there at all.

As a last resort, Zhou Fang had to take a taxi to catch up with the school bus. When he finally arrived, he found that he had already reached the scenic spot.

What surprised Zhou Fang was that he actually found Song Lin here, and it seemed that he was here to send Song Luo. It turned out that Song Luo did not set the alarm yesterday, and Song Lin came back very late, so Song Luo got up late in the morning and missed the bus.

Just as Zhou Fang was gloating, he did not notice what Song Lin said when he walked to the taxi. When Zhou Fang went to find a taxi, he found that the taxi had already left.

When he saw Song Lin with a smile on his face, he immediately realized that it was Song Lin's fault and became a little angry.

Seeing Zhou Fang glaring at him, Song Lin quickly ran back to his car and said, "Want a ride?"

Zhou Fang glanced at Song Lin, but was not willing to get in the car at all. He would rather walk back than get in Song Lin's car.

Shen Di was looking at the distant scenery through a telescope when he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He looked closely and found that it was Zhao Shucheng.

He quickly waved and said, "Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Shucheng looked back when he heard the voice and saw a person among the tourists waving at him. When he walked over, he found out it was Shen Di.

"Shen Di, are you here for an outing?"

"Yes, Brother Zhao, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really a coincidence. My aunt just gave me a telescope. If I had left a few minutes later, maybe you would have met."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm here to collect folk songs as well, and I'm just about to go back. Have fun with your classmates, and if you have anything, just call me directly."

"Okay, Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shen Di, and then he remembered that there seemed to be a scene in the original plot where Shen Di and his friends went on an outing. However, he seemed to remember that Zhou Fang was tricked out of his taxi by Song Lin, and Song Lin's car was out of gas, so the two of them could only hide from the rain in the mountains, which in turn deepened their relationship.

Anyway, the purpose of my trip has been achieved, so I might as well drive back the same way. Maybe I can pick up two people who are planning to walk back to the city.

However, what Zhao Shucheng did not expect was that when he drove to catch up with Song Lin and Zhou Fang, they were slowly following him, one walking while the other drove, like a quarreling couple.

Zhao Shucheng opened the car door and shouted to Zhou Fang, "Zhou Fang, what are you doing? Are you really going to walk back? You know, the nearest bus stop is more than ten kilometers away!"

Zhou Fang was very surprised when he heard Zhao Shucheng's voice, and quickly said: "Of course not, it was Song Lin who tricked me into taking a taxi. Now I can only walk. You came at the right time, I'll take your car back."

Song Lin originally thought that after she tricked the taxi driver, she could go back with Zhou Fang and chat on the way to get closer, but she didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to suddenly appear.

After Zhou Fang got in the car, he asked curiously, "By the way, why are you here?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I came here to collect folk songs. I just ran into Shen Di and heard him mention that you were here too. I was about to go back and was wondering if I could run into you. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you are here."

"It can't be called a coincidence, it can only be said that there was a villain at work, otherwise I might have taken a taxi back home at this moment, and we wouldn't have run into him."

Hearing Zhou Fang's resentful words, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Then I should thank Mr. Song. If it weren't for him, I might not be able to ride back to the city with Miss Zhou."

When Song Lin saw Zhou Fang leaving in Zhao Shucheng's car, he immediately felt that he had created an opportunity for his love rival, which made him a clown. He was naturally unwilling to let this happen, so he planned to catch up with Zhao Shucheng and let Zhou Fang know that he was not bad either.

But what Song Lin didn't expect was that after he had been chasing for a while, the car suddenly stopped moving. Upon closer inspection, he found that the car was out of gas.

He looked around and realized that there was no village or shop nearby. Even if he wanted to refuel, there was no way. He could only call his assistant Chen Chen and ask him to pick him up.

Zhou Fang suddenly received a text message, which was a notification that she had registered for the designer competition and that she was not accepted.

Zhou Fang suddenly felt a little disappointed. He had high expectations for this, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this.

Zhao Shucheng saw Zhou Fang suddenly became depressed, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with you? Weren't you very happy just now?"

"Don't mention it. I was rejected from the designer competition I applied for. They said that my brand had only been established for a short time and I didn't have enough experience to meet the competition standards."

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing this and said, "This is not a big problem. After all, it is not easy to start an original brand in the beginning. Only after a period of development and achievement can you gain respect from others. Every designer has gone through this. As long as you persist, you will always gain something."

"But what's their basis? At first they said originality was enough, but now they're asking for experience. Isn't that playing tricks on me? This Song Lin is really a piece of shit. Do you think it's fun to play tricks on me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's not the case. Maybe there are too many people who signed up, so they are strict in their review. But if you really want to sign up, there are other ways."

Zhou Fang asked curiously: "What method?"

"It's very simple. Just register your brand under another company. Then you can participate in the competition under the name of the other company and then promote your own original brand. That should be fine, right?"

"No, I won't do such a thing. Besides, why would other companies be willing to let me be listed and use up their quota?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Just because other people can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either. My studio should also have the qualifications to register, so I can lend it to you."

Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I still hope to achieve it through my own efforts, rather than such means. Besides, Song Lin seems to have set his sights on me, and he might find some excuse to reject me when the time comes. It's better not to go."

Although Zhou Fang said this, he still felt a little regretful that he could not participate in the competition. After all, he originally wanted to use this competition to make his company famous and get some custom clothing business, but now it seems that he can only develop slowly. Zhao Shucheng saw Zhou Fang like this, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say anything, just preparing to give Zhou Fang a surprise after returning. Although the organizer of this competition is Wanfeng Group, Song Lin can decide most of the things, but Zhao Shucheng still has some connections in the cooperative media, and he can definitely squeeze Zhou Fang in.

At this moment, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and after a few thunders, it began to rain.

Zhao Shucheng looked back at Zhou Fang and said, "Why don't you give your nephew a call to see if they have a place to hide from the rain. If not, we can go back and pick him up and take him home."

Zhou Fang really didn't think of Xiao Di at first, he just felt that the weather changed very quickly, and the scenery outside also had a unique charm. But after hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, he reacted and quickly called Shen Di.

The good news is that Shen Di and his friends have already arrived at the scenic area and are taking shelter from the rain in a house. The bad news is that the bus has not yet entered and they cannot get out in the short term.

Zhou Fang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He asked Shen Di to be careful not to get wet in the rain. Then he turned around to look at Zhao Shucheng, feeling that he was really lucky to meet him.

If Zhao Shucheng hadn't happened to appear here and offered me a ride, I would probably have been caught in the rain and wouldn't even know when I could return to the city of Magic City.

But thinking of this, Zhou Fang was also a little strange. At first, Song Lin was driving behind them, but now he couldn't see her figure? Could it be that Song Lin ran ahead when he wasn't paying attention just now?

"Did you see Song Lin? He was behind us just now, how come he is in front of us in a moment? Otherwise, drive faster and don't let him be so proud."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You are wrong. Song Lin is not in front of us at all. He disappeared from the back five minutes ago. As for driving faster, the road is slippery due to rain. We should slow down, otherwise we may get into an accident."

"Song Lin is still behind us. How come I didn't see anything? Could it be that he knows he was wrong and is too embarrassed to follow us?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I think it's retribution. His car must have run out of gas and broke down halfway."

"No way?"

"It's nothing. When we passed by just now, I heard some unusual noises from his car. He couldn't catch up with us and finally stopped. Is it because he ran out of gas?"

Zhou Fang was overjoyed at the news. He had never expected Song Lin to be so miserable. He had originally thought that he was unlucky because he had driven his taxi away. But now it seemed that he was lucky and Song Lin was the unlucky one.

Of course, Zhou Fang knew very well that if he hadn't met Zhao Shucheng, he might have to walk back, even in the rain. So now it seems that Zhao Shucheng is his lucky star, who can always get him out of his current predicament.

A few days later, Qin Qing had a class reunion in the evening. She saw that Zhou Fang had been busy drawing design drafts during this period, so she pestered Zhou Fang to go to the reunion to relax.

"When will you be done? Don't forget, we have a class reunion soon!"

Zhou Fang said, "I won't go. I'm going to draw a picture later."

"That won't work. You promised to go with me."

Seeing Zhou Fang didn't say anything, Qin Qing pleaded, "Two hours, okay? Just one hour! Thirty minutes! It suddenly occurred to me that I had booked that restaurant in advance, otherwise it would take two or three months to book it. It's a Michelin three-star restaurant, super, super delicious, it would be a shame if I couldn't eat it."

Zhou Fang glanced at Qin Qing and agreed with a smile.

After they arrived at the restaurant, they started chatting with their classmates.

After a while, their old classmate Huo Chendong also came. He had just been transferred back to Shanghai from the headquarters and would live in Shanghai in the future.

When the classmates saw Huo Chendong sitting next to Zhou Fang, Zhou Fang said, "Okay, you are doing well."

When other students saw them chatting together, they immediately asked curiously, "Chen Dong, when did you come back? You didn't come back for Zhou Fang, did you?"

“Oh, there’s a story!”

Zhou Fang quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When Chen Dong was in college, he liked Qin Qing."

Qin Qing was caught off guard and said, "What? Senior Brother, tell me yourself, do you like me or Zhou Fang?"

A male classmate said: "I know this. He told me this when I was in college..."

Huo Chendong quickly interrupted the other party and said, "Ai Ai, you are good enough, you are good enough. You are the most gossipy person in college."

"That's right. All those little rumors about us back then came from you." Qin Qing also said with a smile.

"Oh, that's not right. I remember that Qin Qing liked Senior Brother Jiang Yan at that time, okay?"

Zhou Fang said: "Who is Jiang Yan? Qin Qing has a boyfriend now, okay?"

"Oh!"

The classmates began to toast each other, and while drinking, they talked about what happened in the past and how they had developed during that period.

Before they knew it, they were all a little drunk, and they all clamored to see Qin Qing's boyfriend. Qin Qing was really a little drunk, and she called Zhao Shucheng without hesitation and asked him to pick her up at the restaurant.

Zhao Shucheng heard that Qin Qing was a little drunk, so he readily agreed. When he drove to the restaurant, he saw Qin Qing and Zhou Fang supporting each other, but still shaky.

Zhao Shucheng walked over and said, "Qin Qing, how much did you drink? Zhou Fang, you drank a lot too, right?"

Zhou Fang smiled drunkenly and said to Zhao Shucheng: "Zhao Shucheng, you're here!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the two drunk women, shook his head helplessly, helped them sit in the back seat of the car, said something to everyone else, and drove away.

The others watched Zhao Shucheng and his team leave the car, and began to gossip about Zhao Shucheng's identity, thinking he looked familiar. After all, these people were all engaged in design work, and some even participated in the same competition as Zhao Shucheng, but it was a long time ago, so the impression was a little vague.
