Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"We came here to eat, and there were so many people. Aren't you afraid of being seen by paparazzi?"

Xiao Cha and the others checked into the Peninsula Hotel. He Yuzhu drove away with Xiao Cha and An Ni, feeling a bit hungry, and took them to eat first.

"I can relax here. There are no paparazzi around me. Why would they take pictures of us? They're all greasy old men."

It's better to film female celebrities; they're fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. They're more popular than us, especially with men, regardless of age.

"Hehe, I understand. Let's eat. What are we going to do next?"

"You choose."

"No problem, Annie. Shouldn't you go back later? We're going out to play."

"We won't bother you. What are you trying to do? Don't think I don't know!"

"Men like the same things as you women; it's all about hobbies, essentially the same thing. I'll have Song Yu accompany you shopping later."

"That's more like it. I won't bother you any longer."

"Annie, try the food here, it's delicious, but the portions are a bit small. More would be better."

"Try everything, and take more if you like. Eat as much as you want here, there's no need for any etiquette."

"It's still very relaxing to be with you. We don't have to maintain our manners all the time. There are no paparazzi here, so our safety is guaranteed, especially his."

"Don't worry, Annie. The He family is our safety guarantee here. I don't need bodyguards when I go to work, and no one will harm our family members," Zhou Songyu said, keeping her company.

"He knows how to win people over; he's said that before."

"We also need force; a combination of kindness and severity is necessary to subdue people."

"You'll always find a way. I'm incredibly bored right now. I have nothing to do after retiring, and I spend all my time thinking about other things."

"That's because your mindset hasn't changed. Going back to civilian life and serving in the military are two different things. Your position dictates that you won't cause trouble, and there won't be many problems."

What should I do now?

"Use your charitable foundation to help those in need. Things must be much better in your country, with unemployment soaring."

"Indeed, it's appropriate to help them out a bit and gain a good reputation."

"Then earn money to learn more."

"I understand making money. You often say that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure influences the economic base. But what's the point of knowledge?"

"You understand making money, but learning is about understanding more, especially since your position requires you to be proficient in politics, which is a subject you can't avoid."

Listen more and talk less when you're with others. This is completely different from what you learned in the army. Doing business and dabbling in art are just side jobs; the main job is politics, unlike us.

"Actually, making money and having fun are more comfortable."

"That makes sense. It works for me, but it might be troublesome for you. If you get your work done, you can relax and have fun without anyone bothering you because of work."

"That's right, we're full, let's head to the next stop."

"These are the American celebrities you found. They have connections in Hollywood. You can bring in more in the future."

Those two ignored me completely, as if they were superior to me. Their manipulative tactics were exhausting to watch.

"Haha, it's good that Xiao Cha understands. They're not sophisticated enough. They know a thing or two about us men: what we can't have is always the best."

Unfortunately, I was wrong. It's not that I couldn't have them, but that they weren't worth it.

They couldn't seize the opportunity that was almost within their grasp, and we can't blame them. The others are more sensible, but they are still too young.

I have many friends in the US. Someone from my hometown once said, "Have many friends and few enemies."

This statement applies to all of us, especially you. Also, a few years ago, the US experienced a disease that was incurable and related to both women and men.

Next time you're out having fun, try to find cleaner women. Don't get yourself involved; it's not worth it.

Are they safe?

"They've been checked twice, and their lives are being constantly monitored. Shopping is fine, but certain things are absolutely forbidden. Don't worry."

He Yuzhu paid the system to scan him with gold coins, so it was absolutely safe. Even if there was an incubation period, he didn't need to worry, as it would still be detected.

"I've heard about it too, but it hasn't happened where we are yet."

"Be careful. If you wait until it happens to take precautions, it might be too late. Whenever you go back home, if you're feeling down or just bored, come to my place. There's not much pressure."

"There's no pressure here; you should find life here very relaxing."

"I work hard when it's time to work, and I play hard when it's time to play. I work four to six months a year, and the rest of the time is my own time. What I do with it is up to me."

"I can't do it. I've been attending public events everywhere for the past four months, and my face hurts from forcing a smile."

"You brought this on yourselves. If you want charity to be so good, it might not be a good thing at all. It's just a show!"

You need to learn to transfer power. Your parents are still alive, and they need to complete their own work. They're over fifty years old, so they don't need you to keep reminding them.

Your sister Annie is twenty-five, isn't she? She's a woman, right? She should be fourth in line to the inheritance, making her the most suitable person to represent you at the charity event.

As for your two younger brothers, they should go less often if they behave well or very poorly, but they can go more often if they behave averagely.

Their young age is not an excuse; it's called nurturing them from a young age, which saves you a lot of time to do your own things.

"Another scheme?"

"Of course. Let's go, let's have some fun."

"Rick says your 'little pill' is the best product."

"That's right, everyone who's used it says it's great."

Cha's parents put on a show for four days, while little Cha was a ghost for three days. On the fourth day, he left Hong Kong with his parents.

Surprisingly, Anne didn't stay; instead, she moved into the mansion where Chapman lived.

"They went back. I'll stay here for a few days. There's too much going on over there, and I'm too lazy to deal with so many hypocritical people. There aren't many good people there." This guy is very straightforward.

"You can stay here. There are plenty of empty houses. The servants have already cleaned them up. Just call the servants if you need anything. I'm going home to check things out first."

"What's the rush if you haven't been home for only three days? Come drink with me, tell me how you met him, and how you hit it off. He hardly has any real friends."

"Take whatever you want to drink. Don't treat yourself like an outsider, just be yourself."

"I know him. In my hometown, there's an old saying called 'love at first sight'..." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Is it really that simple?"

"I don't think it's simple. Men who are compatible can live and die together for a lifetime, and men and women who are compatible can love each other and stay together or depend on each other for life..."

There are also people who hate each other from the moment they meet; they are also connected by fate, but it's a karmic bond of enmity. They want to kill each other the moment they see each other, and this remains true for their entire lives.

"It seems to be similar to a person's first impression, right?"

"Pretty much, it's also a way of making a good impression in your social etiquette!"

I think I understand.

"The biggest reason your brother and I are such good friends is that we have no conflict of interest, so we don't have any major conflicts or countless minor ones."

"It seems there won't be any major conflicts between you two, at most it's just between people from different countries. Your wife says you're quite lazy, don't like politics, and don't like being in the public eye too much."

"I'll expose my past and go back to deal with her. People have different backgrounds and choices. I come from an ordinary background and never thought about getting involved in politics when I chose to go into business."

My personality is such that I don't care about life or death, and I'll fight if I'm not convinced. I'm absolutely unfit to be a politician.

"I've heard some things about you from your wife these past few days. You're really not suited to be a politician, nor a businessman. You're a good father, and without my brother's faults, you'd be a good husband."

Thank you for the compliment!
