"Xiaoyu, have you ever been to a shopping mall like this before?"

Hong Xiaoyu immediately shook his head.

"Looks like your brother is really incompetent; he's never taken you to places like this before."

Looking at the empty wine bottles on the ground, Hong Xiaoyu knew that this woman was "getting into the swing of things".

He lowered his voice and whispered, "Sister Tong Dan, my brother is a decent person."

Tong Dan burst into laughter.

"Your brother is a bad parent, but you, his younger brother, are quite loyal. Do you think I don't know whether your brother is a decent person or not?"

As she spoke, she changed her voice, pretending that the person next to her didn't exist, and said in a very seductive way, "Do you want me to call a few younger sisters to keep you company? Don't worry, you don't have to pay."

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed. He did hear it, but like Qing Gege, he pretended not to.

Hong Xiaoyu is a man now, no longer the little kid who followed them around, so he needs to learn to face the temptations of society on his own.

Hong Xiaoyu's eyes widened, seemingly eager to try it out. "Is Sister Tong Dan treating?"

Tong Dan patted her chest without hesitation, "What's the problem?"

"Sister Tong Dan was generous with other people's money, but in the end, it was Brother Zili who had to bear the consequences."

Hong Xiaoyu suddenly changed the subject, looking at Fu Zili who was chatting with Wen Rong with unusual shrewdness.

"It doesn't matter who's paying, just ask if you want to play."

Hong Xiaoyu blushed.

Jokes aside, it's harmless for an older sister to tease her younger brother, but the word "teasing" still makes him a little uneasy.

And the key is.

My cousin and Fang Qing were so unfair; they were cracking peanuts and pretending not to hear.

Hong Xiaoyu could only save herself, and looked towards the door of the private room.

"Sister Tong Dan, there's a handsome guy."

Tong Dan turned her head subconsciously.

It wasn't a feint; a tall, imposing man really did walk in next to Tie Jun. He was the kind of man who would catch the eye of many women, but Tong Dan only glanced at him briefly before looking away.

"Do you think your sister Tong Dan is a little girl? The least important thing for a man is his appearance."

She picked up a peanut, flicked it upwards with her finger, and precisely placed it into her red lips. With just this one move, she revealed her extraordinary skill.

Comrade Jiang Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally spoke up, stood up at the same time, and joked, "Your sister Tong Dan has long since transcended low-level aesthetics."

The others also got up one after another without prior arrangement.

It's a courtesy.

It was obvious that this was the last guest of the night, and that was Tie Jun's old squad leader.

"Wu Yubin, my old squad leader, from Hong'an, single and unmarried."

Tie Jun's introduction was exceptionally concise.

Wu Yubin smiled and said, "Sorry I'm late."

Standing over 1.8 meters tall, exuding masculinity, and possessing a refined demeanor, most women find it hard to resist a man like that.

For example, Ji Ailin's eyes involuntarily lit up, not because she was infatuated, but simply because of an instinctive appreciation for outstanding men of the opposite sex.

“Fu Zili, my elder brother, is also tonight’s host…”

Tie Jun introduced everyone in turn, treating them equally, only briefly mentioning their names and occupations without giving them detailed descriptions. For example, when introducing a particular person, he was even more perfunctory.

"Jiang Chen, when we were little, we would swap pants."

Wu Yubin nodded to each of them. Everyone who could appear here tonight had undoubtedly gained the approval of the Iron Army, and their character was certainly not bad. Even when faced with Fang Qing and Tong Dan, two beauties who were absolutely rare in Shacheng, his old squad leader Wu Yubin did not linger his gaze for long.

"I'll punish myself with a bottle."

After the introduction, the person showed their apology by picking up a bottle of dark beer and chugging it down in one go without saying a word.

Although it hasn't been long since he entered the door, he has undoubtedly won everyone's favor.

"We're all friends, don't stand on ceremony."

Fu Zili said.

Wu Yubin nodded, "If I were being too formal, I wouldn't have come."

Fu Zili smiled and said, "Sit down."

The private room is very large; it can comfortably seat ten more people than just nine. There's no worry about it being crowded.

Everyone sat down again.

"What? You've taken a fancy to her?"

Wen Rong secretly sidled up to her best friend.

Ji Ailin was not shy in front of her "own people," and secretly glanced at Wu Yubin, who was relatively close to her, and said, "You know I have no resistance to soldiers."

"It's not that you're powerless against soldiers, it's that you're obsessed with height. Want me to help you?"

Ji Ailin blinked. "We can get to know each other."

Wen Rong picked up the cup.

"Squad Leader Wu, let me toast you."

This wasn't the first time she had met the other person.

"Isn't the juice you drank a bit unfair?"

"You know I get drunk after just one bottle of beer. If I pass out, wouldn't I be letting everyone down?"

Wu Yubin nodded, "That's right. Tonight is going to be tough, you have to stick it out to the end."

"Do as you please."

Some men like to show off, and when a lady toasts them, they feel they have to chug the whole bottle, otherwise they're not manly. Wu Yubin didn't have that kind of burden and drank about half a bottle.

"What do you want to sing? I'll pick one for you."

"Let me listen to everyone sing first."

"What's with the modesty? I've heard Tie Jun say that Squad Leader Wu is famous for singing in the army. Whenever there's an event or performance, Squad Leader Wu is always the one to take the lead."

Wu Yubin smiled dismissively, saying, "A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories."

"Then I'll go order."

Wen Rong requested a Cantonese song that soldiers, or rather men, love, and which her best friend is also good at.

Glorious Years

She handed the microphone to each of them.

Seeing his wife's actions, Tie Jun chuckled to himself.

My efforts with my wife are destined to be in vain.

As the old squad leader, he probably wouldn't like a girl like Ji Ailin.

"You, old squad leader, are no ordinary person."

The melody of "Glorious Years" begins.

Tie Jun remained noncommittal, clinking glasses with Fu Zili, "Are you some kind of ordinary person?"

"You can tell from his demeanor."

Having navigated the complexities of society for so many years, Fu Zili naturally possesses a unique ability to judge people.

Tie Jun nodded as he listened to the song. "He could have stayed in the army, but he chose to transfer back to civilian life on his own initiative. As his old squad leader, I have a very clear understanding of the situation. I know that if he had stayed in the army, given his background, he wouldn't have had a very good future."

"Many people want to stay in the army but don't have the chance. It takes real courage for him to choose to go back to Hong'an."

Tie Jun smiled and said, "Some people would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken, while others would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Since he chose to come back, he must have his reasons."

Tie Jun looked at the person who was being pestered by Tong Dan again, "Not everyone is as fierce as Jiang Chen, who can fight his way out of a high plane all by himself. Rather than being a slave in a high plane, I think it's a wiser choice to come back and enjoy life."

Fu Zili nodded. "Understood."

"Actually, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to introduce you two. You're a local martial artist, and he's a Brahmin from the county town. If we could have a chance to cooperate, it would definitely be a powerful alliance."

Fu Zili smiled and raised his glass to Tie Jun, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, but I'm about to go ashore, and I won't be using the weapons and sticks here anymore."

"real or fake?"

Tie Jun looked doubtful.

"You may not believe me, but don't you believe Jiang Chen?"

Tie Jun looked at the person "embracing two women" with surprise, "What's going on?"

Fu Zili looked cryptic. "I can't say for now." "You're keeping it a secret from me?"

Fu Zili smiled, "No, that's not it. It's just that this matter is still uncertain. Once it's finalized, I will definitely let you know as soon as possible."

Taking over the second phase of the Greenland project was more than just getting off the shore; it was like "reaching for the sky."

By then.

He could transform himself from the shady characters and scoundrels that Tie Jun described into a hero who serves the country and its people.

That's right.

hero.

How glorious and magnificent it would be to successfully complete unfinished buildings and enable homeowners who were struggling to make ends meet to move into their own homes.
By then.

His past will never be mentioned again.

Who hasn't been young and impetuous?

Who hasn't made mistakes?
Whether Jiang Chen intended it or not, what Jiang Chen gave him was not just an opportunity for upward mobility, but also a perfect chance to clear his name!

of course.

For now, all of this is just a mirage.

Can it become a reality?

It remains to be seen what Greenland, the leading real estate company in Shacheng, will choose.

Hopefully, Greenland Group can maintain its consistent approach and resolve issues decisively.

Tie Jun clinked glasses with him, "Don't you feel like you're in a novel?"

Fu Zili was puzzled. "Huh?"

"Isn't this the kind of plot we used to read in fantasy novels? The protagonist starts out as insignificant as dust, then rises against all odds, achieving physical immortality and becoming unparalleled throughout history. And the pills he casually gives out are worthless to him, but to his close friends and family, they are top-grade elixirs that can cleanse their marrow and strengthen their bones, breaking through all shackles..."

Fu Zili listened intently, his eyes shining, and nodded involuntarily, "It has that flavor."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After the song "Glorious Years" was finished, Wen Rong and Hong Xiaoyu applauded enthusiastically.

Wu Yubin, whom Tie Jun called the Brahman of the county town, looked at Ji Ailin, who was singing in the choir, and asked, "You're not studying vocal music, are you?"

What constitutes a sophisticated compliment?

Ji Ailin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "No, I just like to go to karaoke and sing whatever comes to mind."

"You are the best singer I have ever met."

Ji Ailin blushed even more.

"Old squad leader, if you say that, you're going to offend the other ladies here."

Tie Jun walked over with the wine and sat down next to Wu Yubin.

"I'm late, and I haven't had a chance to enjoy the singing voices of the other beauties yet, so what I'm saying shouldn't be a problem, right?"

High-quality men are usually good at speaking.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. Miss Ji really sings beautifully; I'm completely outmatched."

Tong Dan has always been straightforward, but Ji Ailin felt a little uncomfortable being addressed as "Miss Ji".

Open your phone and it seems like everyone is "Pei Yunxi". But the internet is the internet and reality is reality. Without beauty filters, 70% of women might not even be as good as Ji Ailin, let alone Tong Dan, who has no flaws in figure, appearance and temperament.

Playing around is fine, but don't joke about looks. In the city of Shacheng, Tong Dan is undoubtedly a top beauty, and the allure of top beauty isn't just for the opposite sex, but actually even greater for the same sex.

"Miss Tong sings very well too!"

Ji Ailin quickly retorted.

Even though it was just a polite gesture, Tong Danxin accepted it without hesitation, raising the bottle across the table and saying, "Thank you~"

"You really are the same Tie Jun I know."

"You're not bragging, are you?"

Wu Yubin nodded, turning his gaze away from Tong Dan. Her appearance was secondary; the key was that she had a very comfortable aura, unlike some women who, despite having only a little bit of beauty, could put on airs.

Of course.

He wasn't some sleazy guy who couldn't resist beautiful women; he simply appreciated beauty. But compared to Tong Dan, the other woman over there actually intrigued him more.

A very strange feeling.

It's not that I'm amazed by her beauty.

Even in such a noisy place, as soon as my eyes fall on her, my heart can't help but calm down.

He had never had such an experience before.

"Can you tell me why I can't get close to people?"

Wu Yubin clinked glasses with him.

"Old squad leader, there are some things it's better not to know."

Wu Yubin smiled.

"I only have a nodding acquaintance with them. We just chatted casually."

"Jiang Chen and Qing Gege are childhood sweethearts. In everyone's eyes, they are a match made in heaven. I think so too."

Tie Jun said while drinking.

Wu Yubin understood, and asked just as succinctly, "And what about them? Do they feel the same way?"

Tie Jun paused slightly, then remained silent.

"It seems to be a story that's hard to explain in a few words."

Tie Jun smiled and changed the subject, "How about Eileen? What do you think?"

"She shouldn't be a nurse, she should be a singer."

"Don't try to evade the question, how does it feel?"

"You're not even married yet, how come you're already playing matchmaker for others?"

"You're not getting any younger, haven't you had enough of being carefree? It's time to think about this. I know Eileen, she's lively and cheerful, really great."

"Lively and cheerful? I don't see that coming from you."

"...That's because she's not very familiar with any of you, so it's difficult for her to perform well."

"Why don't you introduce someone else? Like that Miss Tong, she would be fine too."

"Old squad leader, you're making things difficult for me. How could I possibly make decisions for Tong Dan?"

"So you think you can make decisions for Nurse Ji?"

"The key is that she really likes you."

Wu Yubin glanced at him. "Back in the army, how come I didn't know you understood women so well?"

Tie Jun had said all he could say and had nothing more to add. As a friend, he could only offer a token gesture and certainly couldn't force anyone to drink.

"What does your childhood friend do?"

You mean Jiang Chen?

nonsense.

Surrounded by two beautiful women, how could he not attract attention?

"Old squad leader, you don't actually have an interest in Princess Qing, do you?"

"Am I that kind of person? We soldiers have to uphold morality. I'm just asking."

Tie Jun pondered.

"During the introduction just now, you didn't mention a word about it. Was it inconvenient? Was it a classified unit?"

Wu Yubin spoke half tentatively and half jokingly.

"No, that's not it. He doesn't work for the government."

Wu Yubin awaits the next installment.

Tie Jun silently took a sip of his drink, then looked at him meaningfully, "Would you believe me if I said he got a government job?"

Sentence breaks are very important.

Wu Yubin understood, of course, and couldn't help but look again at the person who was "so happy here that he forgot about home".

Although the other party attracted more attention than the shareholder of Geely.

But what about providing government jobs and meals?
