The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu spent three days in Sanya before returning to Yizhou.

They arrived in Yizhou around 5 PM. After getting into the car at the parking spot, Chen Shi asked, "Where to?"

"Stay here for one night, and go back tomorrow."

Chen Shi's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zhou Hua, his high school classmate, calling.

Zhou Hua

"Where is Chen Shi?"

"Just got back from Sanya, currently in Yizhou."

"Come to my company, I have some good news for you."

"What good news?"

You'll know when you get here.

Chen Shi hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Yiqiu: "I'll take you to meet my high school classmate. He's in the renovation business in Yizhou."

Chen Shi drove to Zhou Hua's decoration company. The receptionist recognized Chen Shi and led him to Zhou Hua's office.

Zhou Hua was on the phone. When he saw Chen Shi arrive, he hung up and looked at Jiang Yiqiu. "What a beauty! So pretty!" he thought. He quickly looked away, not daring to gaze at her any longer.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Zhou Hua, what good news do you have? Tell me about it."

"And who is this?" Zhou Hua asked.

"This is my girlfriend, Jiang Yiqiu, the dean of students at Chunyang No.1 Middle School."

Zhou Hua quickly extended his hand: "Hello, Director Jiang, my name is Zhou Hua, and I am Chen Shi's high school classmate."

Jiang Yiqiu reached out and grasped Zhou Hua's hand: "Just call me Yiqiu."

Zhou Hua released Jiang Yiqiu's hand and called out, "Sit down quickly."

He poured tea for Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu: "The good news is that I'm getting married."

Chen Shi looked incredulous: "You're someone who doesn't even have a girlfriend, so why are you getting married?"

"Love is something that you can't stop when it comes. My girlfriend is off today, so I'll invite her over for dinner later."

Chen Shi asked, "What does your girlfriend do?"

Zhou Hua said with a proud look, "I'm a doctor from Huahai Hospital."

"You're just bragging. Most of the doctors at Huahai Hospital are PhDs. You're not a nurse, are you?"

"Why are you looking down on me? I'm a boss, worth millions, I own a villa in Yizhou, and my girlfriend is definitely not an ordinary person."

Chen Shi looked puzzled: "How did you two meet? You're both doctors at Huahai Hospital, and you're over thirty. It's not a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, is it?"

"You guessed it, we're in a relationship where she's older than me, six years older than me. The way we met was quite dramatic. She's a surgeon, and I went to get my hemorrhoids removed. She was my attending physician. It was love at first sight. You don't need a reason to love someone."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled, and Zhou Hua smiled and said, "Don't laugh, it's really like that. When I was discharged from the hospital, I confessed to her, and she wanted to confess to me too. What a coincidence, we're in sync."

We dated for a month, and she took me to meet her parents. They liked me very much and kept urging her to get married. We also wanted to get married. My parents were very happy to learn that I had found a doctor at Huahai Hospital. It would be much more convenient for me to see a doctor there. You know, Huahai Hospital is incredibly crowded; without connections, waiting in line for a month is common.

Zhou Hua is 29 years old this year, one year older than Chen Shi. His girlfriend is 35, which is a bit too old for her.

Chen Shi still offered his blessings: "Not bad, doctors at Huahai Hospital can easily earn hundreds of thousands a year."

Zhou Hua exclaimed, "This is love, not money involved. She doesn't lack money, and neither do I. We don't want a single penny of dowry, and her parents are even giving her an Audi as part of her dowry."

I called her and asked her to come over so I could take a look at you.

Zhou Hua took out his phone and made a call.

"Baby, where are you?"

Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu exchanged a glance, holding back their laughter. It was too cheesy; they couldn't stand it.

"I'm at home?"

"Come to my company. My high school classmate works here with me. He's the one I told you about last time. We'll have dinner together tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shi asked, "Your girlfriend has never been in a relationship before, right?"

"I was her first love. They were studying medicine and only had time to date because they were focused on their studies."

Chen Shi asked, "When are you getting married?"

"You must come on November 1st."

"I'll definitely be there for your wedding."

After waiting for half an hour, an ordinary-looking woman walked into the office. Zhou Hua stood up, went over and took her hand. Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu also stood up.

Zhou Hua said, "Chen Shi, this is my girlfriend, Su Lin."

Chen Shi extended his hand: "Hello, Dr. Su, I am Chen Shi."

"Hello Director Chen, I'm Su Lin." She looked at Jiang Yiqiu, and Chen Shi introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Jiang Yiqiu."

Zhou Hua added from the side, "His girlfriend is the dean of studies at Chunyang No. 1 Middle School."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and said, "Hello Dr. Su, I am Jiang Yiqiu."

Su Lin said, "Let's not use titles, let's just call each other by our names. Zhou Hua and Chen Shi are good friends, and I'm good friends with all of you too."

Zhou Hua called out, "Yes, just call me by my name. Sit down, don't stand."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Hua checked the time and said, "Let's go eat."

He looked at Su Lin: "What would you like to eat?"

Su Lin asked Chen Shi, "What would you like to eat?"

Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yiqiu, who said, "It's been a long time since I've had Dai cuisine. Let's go eat some Dai food."

Su Lin said, "I also want to try Dai cuisine."

Zhou Hua replied, "I'll book a place; we'll go eat Dai cuisine tonight."

After booking the place, Zhou Hua drove ahead to lead the way, with Chen Shi following behind.

When they arrived at the Dai cuisine restaurant, it was quite crowded. Zhou Hua had booked a private room, and the four of them sat down in the room.

Zhou Hua glanced at the menu and handed it to Su Lin, who then passed it to Jiang Yiqiu: "Yiqiu, you order."

Jiang Yiqiu said, "You order first."

Su Lin ordered a few items and handed them to Jiang Yiqiu, who in turn ordered a few more and asked Chen Shi, "What would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything, sour or spicy, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Jiang Yiqiu handed the menu to Zhou Hua: "Boss Zhou, how many would you like to order?"

"Just order," Zhou Hua said, taking the menu and handing it to the waiter.

The food was served quickly, and soon Zhou Hua asked Chen Shi, "Would you like some wine?"

Su Lin quickly said, "We'll be driving later, so don't drink."

Chen Shi replied, "I won't drink anymore; drinking is bad for your health."

The four of them ate and chatted for two hours.

Zhou Hua looked at Chen Shi: "Stay at my place tonight, don't stay at a hotel."

Jiang Yiqiu didn't want to stay at Zhou Hua's house, so he said first, "We've already booked a room, so we won't disturb your time together."

Su Lin said, "I'm not staying at his place; I'm going back later."

Zhou Hua said, "I bought a house of over 150 square meters, with four bedrooms, one living room, two kitchens, and two bathrooms. I live alone, and it feels very lifeless. Next time you come up here, don't stay here, or I'll be furious with you."

Jiang Yiqiu said, "Boss Zhou, don't worry, the lady of the house will be moving in soon. After she has one or two more children, the place will be bustling with activity."

Chen Shi stood up to pay the bill, but Zhou Hua quickly said, "I'll pay. Don't try to take it from me. You can treat me when I get back to Chunyang."
