I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Open your eyes and have a dream"

"What good is it to send me home...?"

On the way to the dinner party, Boss Jiang drove, while Qing Gege in the passenger seat was also busy humming a song, providing emotional support.

"Although I know that she silently remains loyal to you."

Seeing you hide your ring, I feel heavy-hearted…

He hummed along, tapping his fingers on the windowsill to keep time.

In the dim light of twilight, the bustling street scene was coated with a cinematic filter.

Princess Qing's singing voice is impeccable, unlike some girls who, though beautiful, are tone-deaf. Plus, she's speaking Cantonese, which, combined with the time and environment, creates a wonderful atmosphere.

"What's the name of this song again?"

Mr. Jiang drove the car provided by Xinghuo Medical Center and made small talk.

Angkor Wat.

Jiang Chen recalled, "You were talking about an extramarital affair, right?"

As he drove, he said, "Actually, it's quite apt. Married people are uneasy, and unmarried people are unwilling to accept it. It's all about human nature; what you can't have is always stirring up desire."

I have absolutely no idea how to chat.

If you recite someone else's lines, what will they say?
"It seems that the singer of this song is also named Kary Ng."

Ok.

It seems it wasn't unintentional, but rather deliberate.

"But she's not as pretty as Wu Yufei."

As he spoke, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Is it funny?
What's so funny?
Fang Qing didn't laugh; instead, she changed the song.

Mandarin song.

Betraying someone's sincerity always comes at a price.
Only pain like mine can be considered punishment.
The man I loved tormented me beyond belief.
He cruelly destroyed my innocence.
But they underestimated how terrifying my ruthlessness can be.

"He will not forgive the sins I have suffered..."

Jiang Chen had never heard this song before, so he stopped talking and remained silent.

In a peaceful and warm atmosphere, the car arrived at its destination.

This is a private kitchen.

It has three floors in total.

Regardless of who paid, it was Wu Yufei who chose the seats. No, it was Wu Yufei who picked them.

"Jiang Chen, Attorney Fang."

Xie Wendong greeted them at the door, excited and enthusiastic.

"He looks like a successful person now."

Jiang Chen teased his old classmate.

Xie Wendong, whose casual clothes looked expensive, chuckled and said without any modesty, "It's all thanks to you."

Mr. Jiang coughed lightly; he had just said that he had only helped with a small matter.

Have they arrived yet?

Wu Yufei went to pick up Ouyang Qing.

"On the way," Xie Wendong called out. "Let's go up first."

Just as the three were going upstairs, on the other side...

Wu Yufei was driving over in a BMW M4, the standard for successful women, with the old Discipline Inspection Commission member Ouyang Qing in tow.

"I meant why you weren't in the office this afternoon. Mr. Wu, as the boss, you can't just do whatever you want. How can you skip work so easily? What are the employees supposed to think? We have at least a hundred people now. You need to set a good example and keep your personal and professional life separate."

Wu Yufei was focused on driving, her eyes fixed straight ahead, completely unaware that the other person was deliberately teasing her.

"I did it all for the company."

"Yo."

Ouyang Qing adjusted her posture, turned her head, and asked with a strong desire to know, "Then tell me, why are you doing this for the company?"

Wu Yufei remained calm and composed. A company with nearly a hundred employees would be a prominent enterprise in Shacheng, and it would certainly be a force to be reckoned with in Jiangcheng as well. As the owner of such a company, how could she possibly be a shy and timid girl?

Fang Qing's inner assessment was correct, but only in front of certain people.

Where does the company's largest business come from?

"Spark Medical Center, huh?"

Ouyang Qing did not hesitate.

In today's healthcare industry, as anyone in the know understands, hospitals are facing difficulties under the prevailing theme of anti-corruption and integrity, and healthcare companies that depend on hospitals for survival are facing even greater challenges.

Even if they can still get orders from the hospital, payment is difficult, and it's been delayed again and again with no end in sight.

But Xinghuo Medical Center is different.

Rich and powerful.

I always make payments on time.

That's why Xingchen Medical Technology was able to ride the waves and grow against the trend in such a treacherous environment.

"Who are our closest and most indispensable partners?"

"A spark."

Ouyang Qing's answer remained resolute.

"So what's wrong with me handling my relationship with Jiang Chen?"

It was as if a wad of cloth had been stuffed into his mouth, leaving Ouyang Qing speechless for a long while before finally managing a helpless smile.

"Don't you hate these kinds of social engagements?"

"I'm the boss. Do you expect me to handle this personally, just like everyone else?"

"..."

Ouyang Qing was speechless.

Ok.

That makes sense.

The boss.

They'll definitely only step in at crucial moments.

That former classmate can be considered the key figure in their company; without him, there would be no Xingchen Technology today.

and so.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Regardless of how she acts in front of Mr. Jiang, in situations other than Mr. Jiang, Wu Yufei is undoubtedly a qualified entrepreneur. She does not use her power to intimidate people, but rather persuades them with reason.

"Then why didn't you tell us and come along? Wouldn't that have shown more sincerity?"

"Too much is as bad as too little."

Wu Yufei was decisive and efficient.

Ouyang Qing was speechless again, no match for him at all. In fact, since they started working together, she had gradually discovered a strength in him that she had never noticed before.

Strong learning ability.

Ouyang Qing sighed helplessly, gave up his offensive, and asked, "How are his relatives?"

"not sure."

"Even Xinghuo Medical Center can't do anything?"

Having cooperated for so long, no one knows Xinghuo's strength better than them. They spare no expense in introducing equipment and talent. From being boycotted and even framed at the beginning, Xinghuo has now become a well-known and top choice for medical treatment in Jiangcheng, and its influence extends to the surrounding cities.

The employees of Xingchen Medical Technology and their families almost all go to Xinghuo Medical Center for medical treatment.

Good cooperation always involves mutual support and complementarity.

"No institution in the world can be 100% certain about treating patients in a vegetative state."

"Money really isn't everything. Nothing is more important than health."

Ouyang Qing remarked with feeling, "And yet you're always so picky."

Where did I become picky?

"Don't you always criticize Xie Wendong for this and that?"

Ouyang Qing was taken aback. Then she immediately explained, and involuntarily sat up straight, "I'm telling the truth. Every time we go to a business dinner, he can't drink more than a few drinks before he's done. Am I, a woman, supposed to accompany him? If all public relations professionals were like him, nine out of ten deals would fall through."

“His low alcohol tolerance is due to his physical condition, not something he did on purpose. You’re just nitpicking and finding fault with him. He used to be a technician at the power bureau, and he came here to work with us. That’s such a big leap; I think he’s already worked hard enough.”

Ouyang Qing shook his head, "As the boss, you can't consider the feelings between classmates. If there are problems, you still have to speak up."

"Of course I'll say that, but as your girlfriend, you should know when to stop and not be too demanding."

Ouyang Qing was stunned, completely bewildered. "What girlfriend?"

Wu Yufei braked at the zebra crossing to let pedestrians pass, asking, "Do you think I'm stupid or blind?"

With her short, neat hair and striking, spirited eyes, Ouyang Qing blushed inexplicably.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"You say I don't set a good example? Then tell me, how should I deal with you two having a secret office romance?"

"we do not have!"

"Oh? You haven't officially confirmed your relationship yet? Are you still testing her?"

Ouyang Qing blushed even more, feeling embarrassed and flustered. The usually efficient woman suddenly became somewhat stammering, "I... I have nothing with him, we're just colleagues, don't make things up."

"Turn on the mirror and look at yourself. You know perfectly well that you can't lie."

Ouyang Qing actually opened the vanity mirror in the passenger seat and pulled it aside. Under the light, her face, which wasn't exactly beautiful but conformed to certain male aesthetics, was flushed with a clear blush, and she suddenly looked somewhat feminine.

Facts speak louder than words.

"Bah."

The vanity mirror was closed again.

"When did you know that?"

Wu Yufei smiled and released the brake as the silver-gray BMW M4 drove across the zebra crossing.

"You can't hide what you like. Can you tell the difference between liking someone, an old classmate, or a lover? You're just in the thick of it, so you don't realize it, but an outsider can see it clearly."

Ouyang Qing suddenly became a little shy, leaning back in her seat, "Really not. It's just... I'm getting to know..."

"learn?"

Wu Yufei chuckled, "We've known each other since high school and been classmates for three years. Isn't that enough time to get to know each other? People say there's a seven-year itch, but you two have been together for ten years."

"How can that be the same? If we hadn't worked together on a company, we would definitely have remained just old classmates who never kept in touch."

"So, this is fate."

Ouyang Qing remained silent, then, as if struck by a thought, he chuckled to himself.

She nodded, a hint of wistfulness in her voice, "Yes, it really is fate."

What are she and Xie Wendong?

Love for a long time?

I don't really know.

Looking back now, it was from that class reunion held in Jiangcheng that the gears of fate quietly began to turn.

“Back in high school, I never even thought about him, and I didn’t even pay attention to him. Jiang Chen left a deeper impression on me.”

"I never expected our old discipline inspection commission member to be a sucker for good looks."

"What do you mean by being a looks-obsessed person? He's always 'reporting' to the political education office every few days, it's hard not to remember him. Just him alone has smeared so much dirt on our class and added so much pressure to my work."

Wu Yufei smiled gently.
"Hasn't he already repaid you? In a way, he's your matchmaker."

Ouyang Qing was both amused and exasperated. Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly realized that there was some truth to it. "...Tell me, why is life so...absurd?"

As Wu Yufei drove, she smiled gently, “If you stand in your youth and look to the future, you’ll say your future is uncertain, you’ll say your future is limitless; but if you stand at the end and look at the trajectory of your life, you’ll only see one road, you can only see the predetermined path. You only know what destiny is when you don’t know what destiny is.”

Ouyang Qing was lost in thought, staring at the congested traffic ahead. After a while, she asked, "Did you ever write a love letter to Jiang Chen before?"

Wu Yufei's composure crumbled instantly, and she tumbled down from the high ground where she had been strategizing.

"no!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

and many more.

This question format seems a bit familiar.

“You said it yourself, back then he was called to the political education office for a lecture every few days because of his early romance. Everyone knew that he and Fang Qing were dating. I didn’t have the guts to do that.”

Look.

Although he denied writing love letters, he admitted to having a crush on her.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

In the prime of youth, who hasn't experienced emotional stirrings?
Even someone as aloof as Li Shurui admired a certain senior during her middle school years.

Human nature.

"Isn't that a misunderstanding?"

Looking back now, it was indeed a misunderstanding.

"But how could I have known back then, and I was just an ordinary person at the time."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qing couldn't help but smile. Even given their current relationship, she didn't know how to comfort her.

Wu Yufei during her secondary school years was indeed quite ordinary.

She's really bad at lying.

Are you making fun of me?

"Drive carefully!"

Ouyang Qing quickly replied, then raised the corners of her mouth and continued to tease, "Ordinary as you may be, back then, looks weren't important. It was all about pursuing a novel experience. If you had been a little braver, you might have actually won Jiang Chen over."

Anyone can make sarcastic remarks. How can someone as ordinary as you be so confident?

"what about now?"

Ouyang Qing looked at the face beside her, a face that even she found amazing, and asked, "You're so beautiful now, why do you still lack confidence?"

Wu Yufei rolled her eyes at her.

"Look how alluring she is. You can use that on men, but what good will it do me?"

Wu Yufei was both amused and exasperated. "Don't bother me while I'm driving. They should all be here by now."

"Mr. Wu, if you had been a little braver back in high school, your life might have been completely different. Like you just said, if ten years had passed and you looked back, would you regret not being braver today?"

Wu Yufei did not react excessively, only with a slight smile.

"Say something, what are you laughing at?"

"Who told you I regret it?"

Wu Yufei's voice was light and cheerful, "I think liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess them. I've never regretted not confessing my feelings back then, but I do wish I could go back to high school. Just being able to see him would be a wonderful thing."

Ouyang Qing was lost in thought, then shook his head.

"You're hopeless."

Wu Yufei didn't take it to heart, or rather, she "willingly gave in to depravity."

"I think I am the luckiest person in the world."

A lucky girl will meet two men in her life.

A gentle passage of time.

One that has amazed the world.

But if the two men happen to be the same person, wouldn't that be the ultimate luck?
Back then, she was a complete ugly duckling. Boys treated her like she was invisible, and she was ostracized by girls. Only Jiang Chen would take the initiative to pick up her books when they fell to the ground, without taking a detour.

and also.

Although the boy at the time was far from being stunningly handsome, the sunlight during afternoon physics class shone through the window at a 40-degree angle, refracted through the glass, swept over the tall stack of books, and fell on his simple and clean white shirt.

She's truly captivating. (End of Chapter)
