Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Zhao Hongan talks about life and death with a smile.

It's as if they've already let go of everything.

This carefree attitude saddened Su Wenqi.

This uncle is such a kind person.

Despite being unrelated by blood or marriage, and without asking for anything in return, he was willing to teach her such a rare culinary skill.

[Su Wenqi's favorability +10, current favorability 40.]

[Su Wenqi's favorability +10, current favorability 50.]

"Thank you, sir. But I don't have much money right now... If you trust me, I can pay you for the tuition after I learn how to make your superb fried rice and start earning money, or you can give me a commission, that's fine too."

Su Wenqi offered her advice cautiously.

Her suggestion has the air of trying to get something for nothing.

But if the uncle doesn't agree, he'll demand tuition from her; otherwise, if he refuses to teach her, she really has no choice.

She came here to set up a stall selling fried rice with eggs in order to work and support herself while studying.

She had no money in her account at all.

Zhao Hongan smiled.

He never mentioned money, but Su Wenqi never considered not paying him...

This is called a two-way journey.

Good.

"Don't mention money. If you mention money again, I won't teach you anymore."

Zhao Hongan's face darkened, and he pretended to be angry.

Then, his tone softened.

"I've said it before, I'm old, and I don't need that much money. I can't possibly pass this culinary skill down with me, can I? I'd be happy if you were willing to help me pass it on."

Su Wenqi was truly moved.

What a nice uncle.

I don't care about money, I just want to pass on my culinary skills...

From school to setting up a stall, Su Wenqi has had her first taste of society and gained some experience.

However, this was the first time she had ever seen someone as pure as the older man.

[Su Wenqi's favorability +10, current favorability 60.]

Zhao Hongan and Su Wenqi exchanged contact information and introduced themselves.

Su Wenqi carefully noted it down and made an appointment with Zhao Hongan to contact Green Bubble later and find a time when both of them were free to learn how to make fried rice.

After Zhao Hongan and Lin Wanqiu finished eating, they got up and left.

While Su Wenqi was in the restroom and hadn't returned yet, Lin Wanqiu had already scanned the code to pay.

Zhao Hongan would never spend those twenty-odd yuan.

This is the first gift.

If Brother Tongzi calculates it correctly and uses the 10,000x critical hit slot here, Zhao Hong'an will have nowhere to cry.

As usual, Lin Wanqiu drove, and Zhao Hongan sat in the passenger seat.

It was already late.

Zhao Hongan arrived at Lin Wanqiu's house before noon, and the two stayed together.

Even now...

Lin Wanqiu didn't even realize it before it got dark.

She was actually a little reluctant to leave.

On the way here, we sped along like lightning.

On the way back, we drove very slowly.

The car slowly drove along the Qiantang River.

The river flowed gurglingly, and the sound of the tide could be heard.

The lights and tall buildings on both banks reflect beautifully on the river.

Lin Wanqiu only wished that time would slow down, just a little bit more.

Zhao Hongan did not urge him.

He also enjoyed the moment.

Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

Zhao Hongan glanced at it.

It was Wang Shuying calling.

Zhao Hongan answered the call, revealing a kind smile, and was about to say something.

From the other side came Wang Shuying's anxious voice.

"Uncle Zhao, something terrible has happened! My dad is in trouble! Please, please save my dad!"

"What's going on?" Zhao Hong'an's face darkened.

He casually turned on the speakerphone.

Lin Wanqiu glanced at Zhao Hongan, her expression gentle, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

Uncle Zhao trusts her.

Lin Wanqiu's favorability +1, currently at 91.

[Detection indicates that Lin Wanqiu's favorability rating continues to rise. Host has received a mission transaction reward. Please accept the mission as soon as possible and complete it to receive the corresponding reward.]

[Currently awaiting claimable task transaction rewards *1]

Zhao Hongan was slightly taken aback when he saw the system message notification.

He put the phone on speakerphone so that Lin Wanqiu could hear what was going on and see if she could help.

Lin Wanqiu's favorability rating towards him has reached a high of 90 points, a complete reversal. Zhao Hong'an is not afraid that Lin Wanqiu might overhear some secret that could be detrimental to him.

Why did Lin Wanqiu's favorability increase when I turned on speakerphone?

Zhao Hongan didn't have time to think.

"It's Lin Zifeng and Cao Jian," Wang Shuying said. "I just video-chatted with my dad, and he said he's going to Xishan to discuss a big business deal. If it goes through, the crisis facing Yunding Group will be completely over."

"He was in a good mood at first, but halfway through our conversation, his car suddenly stopped, and then, something happened over there. My dad only managed to say hurriedly, 'If something happens to him, it's Lin Zifeng and Cao Jianqian...'"

"Before I could finish speaking, my phone was snatched away. In the last part of the video, all I saw was a thug wearing a black hood..."

Wang Shuying's voice choked with emotion.

"Lin Zifeng, Cao Jian?"

Zhao Hongan narrowed his eyes.

"Do you have your dad's last place in the photo? Send it to me."

"Yes. I really enjoy chatting with my dad. When we go out, we often exchange locations..."

Wang Shuying's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.

This is because her father is worried about her, so he makes her send him her location every time she goes out.

Then, Wang Shuying playfully asked her father to send his location as well...

Her father doted on her, so he sent her his location.

Now, her beloved father is in trouble, and his fate is unknown.

Wang Shuying was filled with sadness whenever she thought about it.

She didn't dare to delay and quickly sent the location to Zhao Hong'an.

My fingers were trembling because I was so nervous.

Zhao Hongan casually forwarded the location to Lin Wanqiu.

"here."

With just two simple words, Lin Wanqiu immediately understood, turned on the navigation, and sped towards the location.

"Do you know why Lin Zifeng and Cao Jian wanted to arrest your father?" Zhao Hongan asked.

"Recently, my father has been competing with the Cao family in Shanghai and the Lin family in Jiangnan in business... Strictly speaking, it is the two families who saw that Yunding Group was in trouble and wanted to swallow it up."

"However, Yunding Group is my father's life's work, so of course he doesn't want it. The Cao family and the Lin family are taking advantage of our misfortune and trying to crush Yunding Group."

"My dad managed to pull through thanks to his years of experience and connections, and the group's business has recently started to improve."

"My dad's been in a pretty good mood these past few days... I wonder if it's related to this?"

Wang Shuying speaks very quickly, but her pronunciation is very clear, and she explains things clearly in just a few words.

"If they can't win in business, they resort to underhanded tactics... This kind of thing is typical of the Lin and Cao families."

Lin Wanqiu's tone carried a hint of disdain.

Then, he comforted Wang Shuying, saying, "Don't worry, sister. Your father is the chairman of Yunding Group, a well-known and influential tycoon in Jiangcheng. Lin Zifeng and Cao Jian wouldn't easily harm him. We'll go there now and do our best to rescue your father."

Although Lin Wanqiu said that, she wasn't very confident.
