I have ten trillion licking dog gold

“Thank you everyone!”

When Tie Jun pushed open the door to the private room, he first bowed solemnly.

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank your host behind you. Why thank us?"

As she stood up, Tong Dan joked.

"No fancy stuff tonight."

Fu Zili, who was also standing at the door, didn't seem to care and swung his arm, saying, "There's only one goal tonight: happy, happy, and more happy!"

Ji Ailin, who was standing next to Wen Rong, couldn't help but chuckle, and the restraint she felt when entering a different social circle eased slightly.

Leaving aside the others, the "Brother Fu" I just met today is a genuine shareholder of Emperor Group. He actually shut down his business to hold this gathering.

It's important to understand that the revenue generated in such a place in a single night is immeasurable.

Tie Jun's childhood friends, whether they are truly awesome or just pretending, all seem to be very down-to-earth.

"We've already met, so there's no need for introductions..."

"Brother Tiejun, I haven't met him yet."

Hong Xiaoyu then greeted Ji Ailin with, "Hello, sister-in-law."

The entire audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Only Ji Ailin blushed, hurriedly waving her hands, extremely embarrassed, "I...I didn't..."

"Hey kid, didn't you see your brother eating barbecue at my place when he came back for Chinese New Year last time?"

Hong Xiaoyu seemed to just remember, "Oh, right, I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

This time, he was finally targeting Wen Rong, and he didn't mistake her again.

"You'll have to drink the penalty shot later," Fu Zili said sternly.

"Yes, he should be punished. He can even admit his mistake." Tong Dan added insult to injury.

"It's okay if he mistakes my wife for his sister-in-law, as long as he doesn't mistake his own sister-in-law."

Tie Jun, true to his elder brotherly nature, came to Hong Xiaoyu's rescue and then introduced him to Ji Ailin: "This is Hong Xiaoyu, Jiang Chen's cousin. He's always followed us around since he was little, and he's also the best man."

"This is Ji Ailin, your sister Wen Rong's colleague. If you ever get sick in the future, you can ask her for help."

"Brother Tiejun, aren't Sister Wenrong and the others in a mental hospital?"

The group laughed again.

Tong Dan put her arm around Hong Xiaoyu's shoulder and asked, "Did you learn your sense of humor from your brother?"

"Is everyone here?"

"There's one more, my old squad leader. He has to come all the way from Hong'an, it'll probably take him a while."

"Oh, right, the last best man, right?"

Fu Zili suddenly realized and, being very accommodating, said, "Then you all sit down first, I'll go wait for him."

Tie Jun stopped it.

"No need, he'll call me when he arrives."

Fu Zili nodded. "Okay."

Hong'an is a county under the jurisdiction of Shacheng. To get there, you have to cross the Yangtze River Bridge. It's not that they deliberately wanted to be the last one there; it's indeed several dozen kilometers long and takes about an hour to drive there.

"Tonight should be everyone's last night as singles. One of our couples is about to get married, so shouldn't we come up with a theme?"

In this kind of situation, Fu Zili was naturally adept at handling things, and since it was his own event, he took the initiative to make the proposal.

"Agree."

"support."

Hong Xiaoyu and Tong Dan spoke in unison.

Tong Dan is naturally outgoing, so there's basically no fear of awkward silences with her around, unless you encounter someone you don't get along with. Hong Xiaoyu used to be rather shy, but times have changed, and no one stays stuck in the past forever.

"Junzi, come here."

Fu Zili shouted.

Tie Jun hurriedly waved his hand, "You can decide."

"Then, sister-in-law, come here."

Wen Rong didn't refuse. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then let's call it... The Agreement."

"Promise?"

"Ah."

Wen Rong smiled, looking at the people who sincerely wished her well. "Tie Jun and I are really grateful to everyone. Not only is it a lover, but it is also a rare thing to have close friends who walk hand in hand with you throughout your life. I hope that time will not age us and that we will never be apart."

Tie Jun quietly grasped Wen Rong's hand.

Does a woman really need a stunningly beautiful appearance and a wealth of brilliant knowledge?
No need.

At least he doesn't need to.

"Well said. Tonight's theme will be 'The Promise'!"

Tong Dan took the lead, picking up a bottle of beer from the black sandalwood coffee table, "May our friendship last forever!"

Bottles of beer were picked up one after another.

When it comes to alcohol, Fu Zili did not blindly pursue expensive brands. Was it because he was stingy?

No.

It's simply because my state of mind has reached a new level.

The alcohol spilled.

Faces with different life trajectories have shed their daily masks and pretenses, revealing only the most simple and pure smiles.

"Beautiful Tong, why don't you start by making an opening statement for us?"

“The groom has already said so, how could I dare to refuse?”

Tong Dan readily agreed, and then, as if pondering what song to sing, she hummed a couple of lines: "We promised we'd never separate and would always be together, what song is this?"

Hong Xiaoyu's forehead creased with annoyance. "It should be... Time boils the rain, right?"

"Yes! Time boils the rain!" Tong Dan suddenly realized.

Fang Qing helped select a song.

Fu Zili handed over the microphone.

"I've made a fool of myself."

Wen Rong applauded in welcome.

"Thank you~"

Tong Dan picked up the microphone.

Sitting on the leather sofa, Ji Ailin looked at the beautiful and confident Tong Dan with envy in her eyes, envying the other's carefree and unrestrained nature.

She will never live like that.

"Wind blows and rain turns into flowers"
Time can't catch up with the white horse

The Dreams in Your Youthful Palm
Are you still holding on tight?

It must be said that Tong Dan's choice of song was ingenious and perfectly matched tonight's theme, "The Promise." Like most beautiful women, it would be a lie to say that her voice is heavenly, but it is at least above the average level.

"Clouds surge into summer"
Tears evaporate with time

You, me, and her on this road
Has anyone gotten lost?

Between singing sessions, she could also find time to pick up a bottle of wine and drink.

"Princess Qing, say a few words."

Midway through, she held the microphone to Fang Qing's lips. Fang Qing, far from being pretentious, calmly accepted the microphone.

"The wind shines the snowflakes"
blow our hair white

We said we'd conquer the world together.
Do you remember—”

"Fang Qing sings this well too?"

Wen Rong whispered to her husband, "The use of the word 'also' is very insightful."

Tie Jun, who was drinking with Fu Zili, fell silent for a moment, looking at the huge screen. "Don't be jealous. In my opinion, Fang Qing is a well-rounded woman with no weaknesses."

Wen Rong gently punched him, knowing full well that her husband was joking.

Then, she couldn't help but look at the man not far away who was listening quietly with a smile on his lips. In the interplay of light and shadow, she couldn't quite make out his eyes.

"Is it possible that it's because Fang Qing is too outstanding that..."

She had heard her husband tell her so many stories about their past. In the beginning, everyone was just an ordinary person, but they gradually rose to prominence and shone brightly.

"Perhaps, maybe."

Tie Jun said softly.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Fu Zili interrupted and gave Tie Jun a wink.

As their eyes met, Tie Jun understood immediately. He took the microphone from Fu Zili, stood up to pass it to Jiang Chen, but Hong Xiaoyu, misunderstanding the situation, took it instead, saying, "Brother Tie Jun, in this high-level game, I..."

Tie Jun was both amused and exasperated, and was about to speak.

"I come."

Tong Dan grabbed the microphone, raised her voice, and poured her heart and soul into her performance, delivering a vivid and expressive rendition.

You once said you would never separate.
We'll always be together.

Now I want to ask you...

Is it just innocent childish talk—?

Tong Dan's passionate performance made Fang Qing seem ashamed and stop singing.

"Innocent years cannot be deceived"
青春荒唐我不负你
Please don't erase the snow.

The traces of us being together
Even heavy snow cannot erase it

The marks we leave on each other—

"Clap, clap, clap..." Applause rang out.

Someone clapped their hands enthusiastically, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence. I think we should sing another love song."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

Tong Dan hummed in response, put down the microphone, and raised the bottle to Fang Qing.

The two bottles collided, clink!
"Miss Ji, would you like to sing one?"

Fu Zili looked at Ji Ailin, who was probably the only outsider present.

Ji Ailin, who was secretly taking pictures, did not refuse and nodded.

"I'll stay with you," Wen Rong said.

Ji Ailin got up and went to select a song.

"We traveled and stopped frequently along the way."

Following the trail of the boy's drifting journey.

Just before stepping out of the station,
He hesitated for a moment—

Upon hearing Ji Ailin's singing, Tong Dan couldn't help but glance in her direction in surprise.

"Everyone has their own shining side, don't mind it."

Tong Dan turned her head and saw someone leisurely eating snacks.

Wen Rong's colleague's singing ability was indeed quite good, at least beyond her expectations. To be honest, she was a little bit better than Wen Rong, and among amateur singers, she should be considered a master, one in a hundred.

"Thank you for your comfort."

Tong Dan immediately launched an offensive, "This chicken tip isn't spicy? Come on, have a little wine to warm it up."

Her primary goal tonight, of course, is to wish the newlyweds well.

second.

It means getting someone drunk.

Not to be missed.

Such an opportunity is rare.

"Living under someone else's roof," I'm afraid I'll rarely have the chance to not care about superiors and subordinates again. Only tonight can I be unrestrained.

In the world of baijiu (Chinese liquor), she might not be a match for him.

But when it comes to beer, men don't necessarily outdrink women.

I am still amazed by how vast the world is.

They also revel in childhood sweet nothings.

There's no point in struggling between truth and falsehood, it's all just a pointless joke.

I finally gave my youth back to her.
Along with the summer that flicks from fingertips.

What the heart desires, it carries away with the wind.

In the name of love, are you still willing?

This is an auditory feast.

Wen Rong and Ji Ailin gave a warm and touching performance of this song.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that within the time it takes to sing a song, Tong Dan pestered someone to drink two bottles of beer in a row.

It's important to know that the beer on the coffee table wasn't the cheap, low-quality beer you get at a karaoke bar. That kind of beer is practically indistinguishable from water, and you can drink as much as you want without getting drunk. Fu Zili arranged for genuine imported dark beer.

Are you still willing?

Jiang Chen was a little confused by the question, "Willing to what?"

"In the name of love, are you still willing?"

Tong Dan repeated the lyrics.

"..."

Mr. Jiang looked completely bewildered.

Hong Xiaoyu burst out laughing.

"If you've had too much to drink, take a rest."

Jiang Chen gave a reminder.

"President Jiang, if I don't make sure you have a good time today, it would be a disgrace for me, Tong Dan."

Tong Dan picked up two more bottles and handed one over.

“This kind of thing doesn’t exist in Tianci,” Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.

Hong Xiaoyu has learned something new. By following her cousin, she can improve every moment. Even admitting defeat can be said in such a fresh and elegant way.

"Don't let yourself pass out before you've even gotten him drunk."

Fang Qing easily saw through Tong Dan's intentions and intervened.

"If you fall down, so be it. You can just lie here for one night. These joyful moments are rare, so how can we not cherish them? Don't you agree, President Jiang?"

Jiang Chen nodded and took the initiative to raise the bottle, "That makes sense."

"Dang~"

Tong Dan tilted his head back and drank heartily, his spirit as fierce as a tiger swallowing a thousand miles. After finishing, he wiped his mouth and turned his attention to Fang Qing.

"Princess Qing, let's have one too."

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs up.

One versus two.

"nice!"

"He's here."

After finishing his call on the side of the street, Tie Jun walked back and greeted everyone: "You guys have fun first, I'm going downstairs to pick up the old squad leader."

"Shall I accompany you?"

Fu Zili asked.

"No need, we're not strangers."

Tie Jun gestured for him not to be polite and went downstairs to pick up the person on his own.

The underground parking lot in the Xintiandi shopping district.

As soon as Tie Jun came down, he saw the eye-catching Tank 700.

This vehicle is enormous; as its name suggests, it truly resembles a land tank.

Congratulations!

The car owner got out of the car, and the two walked closer and hugged tightly.

Tie Jun was already quite tall, but his old squad leader was even taller than him, probably around 1.85 meters.

"Thank you for coming all this way."

"No problem, just reimburse the bridge toll."

You can tell at a glance that this old squad leader, Tie Jun, was a soldier. His temperament is written in his physique: straight back, sharp eyes, and a strong masculine aura.

After all, not every man can handle a vehicle as large as the Tank 700.

"Are you late?"

"You're not exactly late, but you were definitely the last one to arrive."

They certainly weren't this humorous when they were in the military camp.

The old squad leader, who was probably around the same age as Fu Zili, was quite straightforward and inherited the efficient style of a soldier.

"I'll punish myself with three drinks later."

"It's bright and spacious. Let's go up."

The two walked towards the underground elevator.

"Emgrand is a well-known name in Shacheng. Its facilities and services are top-notch. My childhood friend is a shareholder here. How come I've never heard you mention it before? You've been hiding your talents."

Despite saying that, the veteran squad leader Tie Jun showed no restraint or awe whatsoever.

She is different from Ji Ailin.

He's clearly a person with real strength.

"Don't you know me? I'm a rather low-key person."

The old squad leader laughed, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Tell me now, or you'll surprise me later."

Knowing that Tie Jun had difficulty walking, he deliberately walked more slowly.

As Tie Jun stepped into the elevator, he said, "There's definitely a surprise in store; you'll find out soon enough."

"Really? Are there any pretty girls?"

"Needless to say, she's one of the most beautiful women in Shacheng."

"Tsk."

Sergeant Wu Yubin turned around and stood still. "I believe you're not bragging. Are you both single?"

The elevator door closes.

Tie Jun is on the third floor.

"Um……"

He answered instinctively, but then suddenly stopped, "You can get to know the other beauties, but there's one you have to keep your distance from."

"What? You're already taken?"

Just listen to me. It'll save you from feeling discouraged.

"..."

The other person laughed, "Okay, whatever you say. Can't I at least take a look?" (End of Chapter)
