Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Hong Xiaolong had previously discussed with Fang about starting a business, and things are now looking promising.

Just as Ark said before.

Get into foreign trade!
This was easy for Hong Xiaolong.

After all, his family's Hongyun Group is in the shipping business, and they have a foreign trade company under it. It's a perfect match for their expertise, so Hong Xiaolong can simply register under Hongyun Group.

In Fangzhou's view.

These are the basic conditions.

As long as Hong Xiaolong follows the steps in his live-streaming sales efforts, his chances of success are very high.

Hong Xiaolong also believed in Fang Zhou's judgment.

All the steps.

Everything was done according to Fangzhou's advice.

But when it came to actually doing it, Hong Xiaolong felt uneasy and insisted on getting Fang Zhou to invest as well.

Fangzhou knew.

Hong Xiaolong's claim of feeling uncertain was just an excuse.

After all, with his father's shipping group backing him up, even if the foreign trade company doesn't make money, it won't lose much money; it'll just take a little time.

Hong Xiaolong insisted on getting him to invest because of the kid's pride.

The idea for live-streaming e-commerce came from Fangzhou.

Specific implementation plan.

It was also planned by Fangzhou for Hong Xiaolong.

For Hong Xiaolong, he was an executor himself, so he naturally felt guilty and that's why he brought Fang Zhou along.

He originally planned to give Fangzhou shares directly.

Ark Technology invested in the company.

After all, sales skills are a skill in themselves.

Fangzhou wouldn't take advantage of this. Seeing how insistent Hong Xiaolong was, they invested two million, taking a 40% stake.

Hong Xiaolong had thought it through very clearly.

This was the solution Fangzhou came up with.

If it makes money.

That's what the Ark deserves.

Even if Fangzhou makes a mistake this time and actually loses money, he won't care about this small cost.

This trading company takes one character from each of the two people's names.

It's called Dragon Boat Trade.

Fang Zhou didn't care about the money, but Hong Xiaolong was suffering a lot.

The capital for starting a business.

I still had to ask Comrade Lao Hong for support.

However, after learning that the idea for the trading company came from Fang Zhou, Comrade Lao Hong readily agreed to Hong Xiaolong's application for start-up capital.

Aside from the reason related to the Ark.

on the other hand.

It was rare for Comrade Lao Hong to see Hong Xiaolong so seriously trying to do something.

As a father, Lao Hong is very pleased.

Naturally, I supported it.

Today, the Douqu platform officially launched its live streaming function, and Hong Xiaolong also decided to start his first live stream today.

I was just really nervous, which is why I called Fangzhou over early.

……

Xuanwu Garden.

The residential community is located on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

The residences here are not particularly luxurious, but they are not something that ordinary people can afford.

We are currently in a quaint two-story courtyard.

Inside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The three people sat at the tea table, drinking tea and eating pastries.

A middle-aged woman in a red short wool coat looked at the girl opposite her in amazement:
"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up."

“I remember seeing Tangtang a couple of years ago, but she looks completely different now. If I saw her on the street, I wouldn’t recognize her.”

"Zhiya".

"You said you were one too."

"Tangtang came to Suzhou to study, and you didn't even mention showing me around."

Tangtang didn't participate in Aunt Zhu and her mother's conversation; she simply enjoyed drinking tea and eating pastries.

Don't say it.

The pastries Aunt Zhu prepared were quite delicious.

School has already started its winter break, and Tang Tang didn't go back to Nanwu because of something, which made Lan Zhiya very worried.

However, she also knew that her daughter had important things to do right now.

She can't hold them back!
Despite it being the end of the year, banks are quite busy.

But Lan Zhiya would still make time to visit her daughter in Sujing.

I also took the opportunity to visit an old friend, the one in front of me, Aunt Zhu, who is nominally Tangtang.

Lan Zhiya was naturally pleased to hear others praising her daughter.

However, I still need to pretend I don't care:
"normal."

Some people are late bloomers.

"Tangtang was still young then and didn't care about some things."

"After reaching a certain age, people start to pay attention, and naturally, they gradually change."

Previously, Lan Zhiya had been quite troubled by Tang Tang's figure.

There are also Tangtang's learning problems.

Everything has changed now.

My daughter is so outstanding that I almost didn't recognize her.

He stared at Tang Tang for a long time, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Zhu Ling said with a smile:

"Now that Tangtang is in college, she doesn't need to be spoiled like she was in high school. She needs to make more friends."

“I have a nephew who is studying at the law school of Soochow University.”

"I am currently a graduate student."

"He is an exceptionally outstanding person."

"They're all young people."

"Tangtang, why don't you have a chat with my nephew?"

"My nephew is also a handsome guy."

Aunt Zhu's intentions were practically written all over her head.

Hearing this, Tangtang looked up at Aunt Zhu, then at her mother beside her, wondering how to refuse.

Lan Zhiya knew what her daughter was thinking.

He smiled and said:

"forget it."

"Tangtang is still young and has just started university, so her studies should be her priority."

"She usually has a lot on her plate."

"It's a holiday now."

"She doesn't even have time to go home."

"That's why I made a special trip to Suzhou just to see this girl."

Zhu Ling didn't know whether she failed to hear the rejection in Lan Zhiya's words or was deliberately indifferent.

He continued to earnestly persuade them:
"You can't say that."

"You can't be distracted by anything else in high school, so you can get into a good university."

"Tang Tang is now in Normal University. It can't compare to Suzhou University or Peking University, but it's still a first-tier university, so it's not bad."

"Entering university is like having one foot in society."

“Studying at university is certainly important.”

"But interpersonal relationships are also very important, so it's still important to make more friends."

"My nephew is truly outstanding. He's a top student at Suzhou University, even though we're a few years apart in age..."

Zhu Ling is pretending to be ignorant even though she knows the truth.

Lan Zhiya simply said it outright:

"Young girls, they all have their own thoughts."

"In fact."

"Tang Tang is at school now, and there's a boy she gets along with quite well."

"It's not really appropriate for us to get involved in her affairs."

Zhu Ling was surprised:

"Tangtang has a boyfriend?"

"Zhiya, you need to be careful."

"Tangtang looks like an honest and obedient child, which makes her easy to be fooled."

"Maybe they're after your family's wealth, and they're just trying to fool Tang Tang because she's so pretty."

"Tangtang" (a type of sugar).

"Looking for a boyfriend."

"Be sure to keep your eyes open and don't get fooled."

Tang Tang slowly put down her teacup.

He looked at Zhu Ling across from him.

"Aunt Zhu."

"You stared at me for a while when we first met."

"Judging from your expression, I think you must recognize me and know about some things I did in Suzhou."

"Then you must know who my boyfriend is." "You've heard about him too."

"Sit quietly and reflect on your own faults; refrain from gossiping about others."

“To speak ill of my boyfriend in front of me is not the behavior of a wise elder.”

Zhu Ling felt embarrassed.

They wanted to deny what Tang Tang had just said.

Seeing the way Tang Tan was staring at her, Zhu Ling was speechless for a moment.

All I could do was laugh awkwardly.

"I did not mean that."

"Your aunt is only thinking of you. She's afraid you're still young and can't judge people well."

Before Tang Tang could say anything more, Lan Zhiya reached out and patted the back of Tang Tang's hand, pretending to be angry, and said:
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your Aunt Zhu has always been kind and caring, and she cares about the people around her."

After speaking, Lan Zhiya turned to look at Zhu Ling.

He said apologetically:
"Tang Tang is a girl who speaks her mind without thinking. She has always been straightforward and hasn't changed it yet."

"Alright, I've bothered you for half a day already."

"Your tea is really good."

"If you have time, you should go and take a look at Nanwu."

"When the time comes, let me do my part as a host and let you taste the flavors of Southern Wu."

"That's all for today. Tangtang is going to show me around Suzhou."

Zhu Ling looked even more embarrassed.

Lan Zhiya's words showed absolutely no respect for him.

He is also "straightforward and outspoken".

So that means Tang Tang was right all along!
After Lan Zhiya left with Tang Tang, Zhu Ling frowned and put down her teacup with a "thud".

"Small vendors and peddlers are really not up to par."

Zhu Ling snorted.

He turned his head and leisurely looked out the window.

It seems that what just happened didn't have any impact on her.

Outside Xuanwu Garden.

Upon seeing Lan Zhiya and Tang Tang emerge, Lao Ding immediately got out of the car and opened the back door.

After getting in the car, Tangtang asked:
"mom."

"I hope what I just said won't affect your relationship."

Even so.

Tangtang didn't seem to feel much sorry.

Lan Zhiya could tell that Tang Tang was much more confident than before, and she had become much more composed, and she didn't care too much about such things.

This shows that she has her own opinions.

If it were Tangtang's old personality, she would definitely be uneasy and anxious after something like this happened.

Lan Zhiya said nonchalantly:
"fine."

That's just how she is.

"We've known each other since we were kids, but we've always been rivals."

"otherwise."

"Come to Suzhou."

"How could I not take you to see her?"

"The way she spoke just now was disrespectful to her elders. It's no big deal for you to tease her a little, otherwise she'll really think too highly of herself."

"Let's not talk about her anymore."

“Your dad is coming over tonight too.”

"You can call Fang Zhou then, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

Tangtang is curious:

"I just saw that Aunt Zhu has a lot of newspapers at home."

"Moreover, many of them are current affairs newspapers, neatly arranged under the coffee table, indicating that they are read every day."

"Few people read newspapers nowadays."

"Aunt Zhu's house."

"Could it be that he also works in the government office?"

Lan Zhiya looked at her daughter with surprise.

This time, she could clearly sense that her daughter was different from before; it seemed that she had become much more opinionated.

I don't know if it's because of opening a shop.

like.

People have matured.

I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

For a moment, Lan Zhiya felt a little empty inside.

Lan Zhiya was slightly taken aback and said:

"you guessed right."

"Zhu Ling's husband is the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau."

"Her official tone just now was probably due to her family background."

“When I married your father, she married a man who was already a civil servant at the time, so naturally she looked down on families like ours.”

The car started moving.

The conversation between the two continued.

Tang Tang took out her phone, listened to her mother's words, and couldn't help but mutter:
"I thought he was some high-ranking official."

"He's just a bureau chief, yet he acts so arrogantly."

Lan Zhiya turned to look at her daughter beside her in surprise, and tapped Tang Tang's forehead with her finger.

He said angrily:

"You girl."

"Did you learn it from Fangzhou?"

"They don't learn the good stuff, they just keep learning these things."

"He's the bureau chief, even your dad would have to be very polite to him."

"You've gotten quite arrogant lately."

Tangtang shrank her neck.

He muttered:
"What I said was simply the truth!"

“It’s not easy to meet someone like this in Nanwu, but Suzhou is the provincial capital, and there are provincial leaders here.”

"A bureau chief is nothing special."

"That Meng Bin."

"They have a very deep family fortune."

"They were still kicked out of Suzhou by Fangzhou."

Ok?
Lan Zhiya was taken aback.

She knew some things about Fangzhou and Tangtang in Suzhou.

But Lan Zhiya naturally had no way of knowing about those things that couldn't be discussed openly, such as the conflicts that Fangzhou had with people.

At this moment, Tangtang suddenly brought up this matter, as if Fangzhou had a conflict with someone.

Moreover, judging from Tangtang's tone, the other party is someone of considerable importance.

Lan Zhiya immediately inquired about the situation.

The situation at the time.

In fact, apart from the parties involved.

Others' accounts of the events at the time are often exaggerated.

After all, the courage and driving skills that Fangzhou displayed at the time sounded somewhat unreal.

Those present were deeply shocked.

In telling a story, some subjective assumptions are inevitable.

Tangtang and the others knew about this.

It was Zhao Xiaotong who said it.

At that time, Fangzhou's performance was almost like a god descending to earth in Zhao Xiaotong's eyes, so when she told Tang Tang and the others, she naturally included a lot of personal details.

However, the general course of events is largely the same.

According to Tangtang's account.

Even disregarding the artistic embellishment, Lan Zhiya could probably guess what had happened.

Lan Zhiya listened to Tang Tang's description of Ark's bravery without commenting, but regarding this matter...

Lan Zhiya looked at her daughter with a strange expression.

Fangzhou stood up for the other girls.

When you talk about this.

And why is he grinning like an idiot with such a proud look on his face?
Lan Zhiya didn't know what to say.

but.

Fangzhou's personality.

This won't be good for him in the future.

"Well, let's not say anything about this, shall we?"

"However, since you are close to Fang Zhou, you should still try to advise him on his way of doing things if you have the chance."

"That Meng family is no ordinary family."

"He was lucky this time; the Meng family didn't take it seriously."

"Perhaps they'll use this incident as a test for the younger generation in the family. If they encounter someone who takes things seriously in the future, Fang Zhou will suffer sooner or later for doing things this way."

"You should advise him to think things through more before he does things."

"This is for his own good!" (End of Chapter)
