The Godly Rich System is looking for a replacement, and I've become a weapon!

Chapter 88 You still need your childhood friend to show off.

It was just past nine o'clock in the evening, after dinner.

"No! I want to sleep with my uncle!"

The little one's adorable, childlike voice came through the air.

At this moment, she stood in front of Zhang Yifang with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at her father, Chen Long.

Du Yu, Liu Ruyan, and Shen Youchu stood to the side, covering their mouths and chuckling, as if they were the incompetent wife.

They watched helplessly as their men were about to be taken away by other women for the night, and they dared not be angry or speak out.

"Sweetie, your uncle walked a long way home and is very tired. Don't disturb your uncle's rest."

"Leyi, quickly help Dad persuade your sister."

Chen Long sought help from his eldest daughter, hoping she could use her elder sister's influence to win over Chen Lebo.

"Dad, you go back by yourself! I've already told my aunt that I'll sleep with them tonight."

This result shocked Chen Long!

Although the eldest daughter has started sleeping in a separate bed, it still helps to control her behavior to some extent.

If even she doesn't go back, then Old Chen will be in big trouble tonight.

I just had oysters and chives for dinner!

Zhang Suyao's intentions are as clear as day, everyone knows that!

The key point is that he submitted his homework on time yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that.

The day before yesterday, I said that my maternal grandmother missed the children, so I sent them to my maternal grandmother's house to stay for one night.

The day before yesterday, they said that Grandma missed the child, so they sent the child to Grandma's house to stay for one night.

Yesterday, I finally thought I could rest.

Zhang Suyao said again that her eldest child has final exams coming up, and since her maternal grandfather lives nearby, he should take the child to the exam so the child can sleep in a little longer in the morning.

The key point is that his company is on holiday these days, so Chen Long can't even use the excuse of "I'm too tired today".

You can't exactly say that you slept soundly at home all afternoon and exhausted him, can you?

For three consecutive days, this is nothing short of a miracle for a man in his forties!

I thought I could finally rest today, but my brother-in-law came back again!!!

His family of four divided up all his hopes.

"Go back and rest, brother-in-law. We'll take care of the baby for you two for the next couple of days. You two can enjoy some time alone!"

Zhang Yifang has completely forgotten his roots and is no longer able to empathize with the middle-aged and elderly people.

He felt that a man's life consisted of nothing more than making money and drinking with women.

How could they possibly be troubled by their sex life?

"Hehehe, thank you so much!"

Chen Long said through gritted teeth, then left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

……

The following day, at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Four Happiness Dumplings, a time-honored brand in Haicheng.

Zhang Yifang pushed open the door to the private room, where three people were sitting, his childhood friends.

I'm back, how could I not catch up with my childhood friends?

He pulled out a chair, plopped down, and waved his hand to give orders.

"We're late! We're late! You guys should each drink a toast as an apology!"

Good grief, being late and still so self-righteous, this is the first time I've ever seen someone like this.

"Did Old Fang come over before he was fully awake? Why is he talking nonsense?"

The man speaking is Meng Hao. He and Zhang Yifang have been playing together since kindergarten, and they were in the same class throughout elementary and middle school.

"I don't know if I'm fully awake, but this thing is growing back! Damn, how come you're getting younger and younger~"

The name Zhang Zhihao also has the character "Hao" in it, and his connection to Zhang Yifang dates back even further.

To put it another way, they were from the same village, and their mothers introduced them to each other around the time they were a month old.

"Stop talking nonsense, you two. Brother Fang said he'd punish himself, so just listen to him... Ouch, Brother Fang, let me do it!"

Now this guy is something else. His name is Xu Feihong, the same name as Big Fei from the Young and Dangerous movies. When he was young, this guy even copied Big Fei and got an eagle tattooed on his chest.

The first time Zhang Yifang had ever been in a group fight was with him.

The two brothers fought against six opponents when they were in fourth grade.

Uh, I never fought them, and they just kicked and shoved me.

As for why he didn't say anything bad about Zhang Yifang, and even spoke up for him.

It wasn't that he wanted to flatter Zhang Yifang, but rather that he noticed the two bottles of 14 Maotai liquor that Zhang Yifang had taken out.

Xu Feihong took the Ma Mao and examined it. This stuff must cost more than ten thousand yuan a bottle now, right?

Tsk tsk, if I had told you there was such a good thing, I would have punished myself with three punishments, let alone one.

I opened the bottle and filled it for my buddies, and as usual, we clinked glasses first.

As for the dishes, they had already been ordered, and half of them were served when Zhang Yifang arrived.

They don't have many rules about drinking!

"Are you going back after celebrating my sister's birthday this time?"

Zhang Zhihao put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of food to settle his stomach, and then asked.

"Yes, I flew to Beijing the day after my birthday. CCTV invited me to be a guest on a program."

Zhang Yifang also picked up a piece of pork knuckle skin and slurped it into his mouth.

Hey, this is really rare; this place still tastes just like it did twenty years ago.

That's right, Zhang Yifang and his friends have been eating here since they were around ten years old.

Four Happiness Dumplings is a regular spot for Zhang Songnian and his friends; they've been bringing Zhang Yifang and the others there since they were kids.

Later, the younger kids started to follow the adults' example, pooling their money to have a get-together and a meal here on weekends.

That was so interesting back then. How much money could those kids possibly scrape together?

I simply can't afford the fancy dishes.

It's either hot and sour shredded potatoes or tofu skin with green peppers.

If someone manages to eat a nice meal occasionally, then without a doubt, someone has stolen a lot of money from their home.

The good food we ate during the day was all earned by being beaten up at night.

The day afterward, I still had to go to school and act all high and mighty, saying, "It's nothing, my mom didn't hit me, she just said a few words to me, it's a small matter!"

"What the heck? CCTV? Is it the CCTV I'm thinking of?"

Meng Hao feigned shock and asked in an exaggerated tone.

Zhang Yifang raised his eyebrows smugly and nodded pretentiously.

"Wow, what show is it? I really need to watch the show you're on."

Xu Feihong also spoke from the side.

"It's called Dialogue, a financial talk show."

Zhang Yifang answered calmly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're getting more and more powerful. Is your next step to running for People's Congress representative?"

Zhang Zhihao clicked his tongue in praise, then asked a question.

Zhang Yifang chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and continued to show off.

"I am not very talented, but I am already a representative of the Linjiang Provincial People's Congress in this session, and I will run for the National People's Congress in the next session."

"Damn it, that bastard got another chance to show off!"

Zhang Zhihao feigned annoyance and laughed as he cursed.

The four brothers laughed together. Regardless of whether Zhang Yifang was awesome or just showing off, they were just childhood friends having a get-together.

With this topic as the starting point, the four of them began to talk about people and events from the past.

We finished two bottles of Maotai while chatting, and then asked the waiter to bring us more beer.

"Old Fang, do you remember when you were 18, Old Meng slept with that girl, what was her name, Ting? And that bastard used your name on the record?"

"Turns out she has a boyfriend, found out your phone number, and gave you a good scolding without saying a word... hahaha~"

"Later, you brought people back from Jiangcheng and blocked his door, threatening to chop him up. That scared the kid so much that only a group of his relatives dared to take him to and from school."

After downing half a jin of liquor, Zhang Zhihao began to reminisce about his glorious past.

Mentioning this made Zhang Yifang get excited, and he cursed in an annoyed tone.

"Liu Tingting? She's one of the few women in my life who has left a lasting impression on me."

"Old Meng, you're a human being too. Why don't you think of me when you're having sex? Even if you just called me so I could hear your voice, I wouldn't feel wronged."

"That idiot boyfriend of Liu Tingting started cursing at me right away, it was so fucking filthy..."

"Holy crap, I panicked and brought a few of my buddies back with me."

"Back then we were just kids, how could we possibly block someone's doorway! Damn it, when they called the police, we almost got all of us arrested by the police station."

"Luckily, I had some sense and left a buddy to keep watch, so I was able to sneak out of the jar beforehand."

Meng Hao quickly put his hands together and chuckled in response:

"No, no~ I just wanted to hook up, I didn't dare use my real name. I didn't expect you to be out of town, who would have thought he would still contact you~"

As they were talking, a voice message suddenly popped up on Zhang Yifang's WeChat.

Note: Meng Ziyi.

That's not surprising; they chatted on voice for half an hour last night.

Um, regarding the "pure green" part, we still discussed it in front of Du Yu.

"Hey, what's up, Meng'er? Missing your brother?"

He answered the call casually, put the phone to his ear, and said with a smile.

"Bro, stop being so narcissistic! What are you doing?"

Meng Ziyi now truly treats Zhang Yifang as an ally; in just half a month, the two have become like brothers.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? We went back to our hometown! We're getting together with some childhood friends."

As Zhang Yifang spoke, he slurped up a mouthful of Northeastern-style cold noodles.

At this time, Meng Ziyi was participating in a program where one segment required her to call two friends outside the entertainment industry to borrow money. Successfully borrowing the money would count as a successful challenge.

She needed to borrow 10,000 yuan for the first time, so she called her best friend from junior high school who is not in the entertainment industry, and successfully borrowed the money.

When she needed to borrow 100,000 yuan, she immediately thought of Zhang Yifang. So, the sound of Zhang Yifang slurring his lips during the facelift was picked up by the microphone, and the host and audience were trying not to laugh.

"Alright~ Well, I have a favor to ask of you~"

Meng Ziyi suddenly changed to a sweet, coquettish tone.

"What's the big deal? Why did you put it in there?"

Zhang Yifang is quite skilled at using sarcastic and unsettling language.

Meng Ziyi rolled his eyes and resumed his original voice.

"I'd like to borrow some money from you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Yifang's words came through, his tone full of surprise.

"Huh? You want to borrow money from me? What's the amount that you need to borrow from me?"

He knew a bit about Meng Ziyi's family situation; for small, infrequent transactions, there was no need to borrow money. He simply called her father, and he transferred the money to her account.

"Ten~"

"No, what are you going to do with so much money? Did your dad go bankrupt?"

Zhang Yifang drank half a jin of baijiu, and his mind was a little hazy.

He genuinely hadn't considered the program, much less imagined that Meng Ziyi, a wealthy and beautiful woman, would borrow a mere 100,000 yuan from him.

"Huh? No?"

Meng Ziyi was also bewildered and subconsciously replied.

Alright, these two are chatting away, each absorbed in their own conversation!

"No~ Then why are you asking me to borrow a billion? What, are you going to buy your company?"

Zhang Yifang's tone was puzzled; at this moment, he was still thinking about the billion-dollar issue.

Upon hearing him mention 1 billion, Meng Ziyi forgot about the program and unconsciously raised his voice.

"Who would lend you a billion?! Do you think I'd lend it to you if I could pay it back? Dude, I meant 100,000—100,000 yuan! RMB, not USD or GBP!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Zhang Yifang's voice slowly came through.

"Sigh... send me your bank card number! ...You can borrow 100,000 from me...sigh!"

You could tell there was a hint of melancholy in his voice.

This is ridiculous!

He's such a big boss~

However, he didn't feel melancholy for long before he heard applause coming through the receiver.

Immediately afterward, a voice that Zhang Yifang found quite familiar came from the other side; it was Evil Gardenia.

"Hello Ziyi's friend, we are the Happy Family. Ziyi is participating in our show. The money-borrowing game we just played is a mini-game on our show. Thank you for helping her complete the task."

Zhang Yifang finally realized that she had gone to participate in a variety show. This girl was really bold; wasn't she afraid that he would suddenly say something suggestive?

After exchanging a few polite words, he hung up the phone.

The whole process took only a few minutes. After it was over, Zhang Yifang tossed his phone aside, picked up a wine glass, and made a toast.

Where were we?

"Speaking of cutting off Liu Tingting's boyfriend... no, let's not talk about that yet. Was that phone call from Happy Camp just now?"

Xu Feihong answered subconsciously, then quickly realized what he meant and asked him the same question.

Zhang Yifang made a phone call earlier without their knowledge, and they overheard almost everything.

"A friend went to promote their new drama, and there was a game where they had to call friends outside the entertainment industry to borrow money, and that's how they ended up calling me."

Zhang Yifang waved his hand dismissively and explained.

As they were talking, his WeChat rang again, this time an invitation for a video call.

The note says Song Zuer.

This is even less surprising, because Zhang Yifang had been chatting with her the whole way here.

Sigh! It seems there's some unseen force trying to make me show off in front of my friends.

Well, fate is unchangeable!

Sorry, brothers!!!

I shook my phone apologetically to the three of us, and then answered the video call.

He casually propped his phone up against the side of the wine bottle, pointed the camera at himself, and inadvertently captured a part of Zhang Zhihao in the shot.

"Brother Fang, did I disturb your meal?"

Song Zuer's small face appeared on the screen, and she spoke with a big smile.

How can I not laugh!

A few days ago, she accepted a business collaboration, becoming the brand ambassador for a certain international luxury brand in China.

During the signing process, someone mentioned Zhang Yifang and said that it was he who suggested to the company's boss that Song Zuer be used as the spokesperson.

This made Song Zuer extremely happy. Old Deng really got his work done; he really got things done!

So she quickly contacted Zhang Yifang, intending to ask him to play a few more rounds of duo queue.

This sponsor is truly exceptional, providing both resources and effort.

The feeling of eating and taking things at the same time is just too awesome!

Little did they know!

Zhang Yifang exerted effort because it wasn't her own car, so she naturally had to pedal hard, pushing it to the point of sparks.

As for the brand ambassador for that upscale luxury brand in China, Song Zuer was already one of their company's targets, and he just mentioned her casually.
