Fu Hua sat down next to her.

"Learning has its uses."

She spoke earnestly, "There are different ways to do business. You should focus on your studies now, broaden your horizons, and you'll have plenty of time to do business later."

But if you stop now, it will be difficult to go back later.

Zhang Wen listened attentively, her eyes lowered in thought.

"You don't hate going to school, do you?"

Fu Hua asked.

Zhang Wen shook her head: "I don't dislike it, it's just that I find it boring. It was okay when we went to high school together, but now that we're in college, it's actually quite dull."

Fu Hua asked with a smile, "So what do you find interesting?"

Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said, "Chatting with you is interesting, selling clothes is interesting, and looking at the accounts is interesting too. Seeing the numbers go up makes me happy."

Fu Hua nodded.

"You already know what you like and which path you want to take in the future."

Zhang Wen looked up at her.

"Many people live their whole lives without knowing what they like. You're so young, yet you already know. That's a good thing."

Fu Hua could tell that Zhang Wen liked doing business.

However, as she said, it's not too late to start a business in a few years.

But in life, if you miss this time to go to school, your mindset will be very different.

Just like clothes, a summer outfit, no matter how beautiful,

If you wear it in winter, it will look awkward and out of place.

Compromising with time is not admitting defeat.

It's about living a comfortable and relaxed life, without feeling conflicted.

Zhang Wen's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"real."

Zhang Wen looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Huahua, do you know what? I really enjoy chatting with you."

Fu Hua raised an eyebrow, waiting for what was to come.

I'm serious.

Zhang Wen became serious, "Talking to you always feels so relaxing. I can talk about anything, and you never find me annoying."

After saying that, I still felt energetic and wanted to do something.

She paused, her voice lowering slightly: "My mom always says I talk too much, and my dad always complains that I'm noisy. They always treat me like a child. I'm already in college, and many of my female classmates who dropped out are already getting married."

Fu Hua smiled faintly, but her eyes were sore.

Even at 99 years old, you're still a child, loved by your parents.

She can never be a child again.

No one will come; she has to steer this icebreaker herself.

The streetlights outside the window were on, letting in a little light.

The shop was quiet, with the clock on the wall ticking away.

"Let's go."

Fu Hua composed herself, stood up, picked up her clothes, and said, "Lock the door. After you finish eating, I'll take you home."

Zhang Wen responded and jumped up to pack her things.

Just as the shop door was locked, a Jeep turned the corner at the alley entrance.

The car headlights were glaringly bright, and the sound of the engine grew louder as it approached.

The car stopped in front of the two people.

Xie Ci got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and opened the passenger side door.

He held onto the car door and looked at Fu Hua.

"Get in the car."

Fu Hua didn't move, but pulled Zhang Wen's arm and said with a smile, "Thank you for being our driver today, Deputy Division Commander Xie."

She raised her chin. "Wenwen and I are sitting in the back."

Xie Ci paused for a moment, a glint in his eyes, looking rather troubled.

Zhang Wen stood to the side, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Is that not allowed?"

Fu Hua smiled faintly, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Sure, why not?"

After thanking them, he closed the passenger door and opened the rear door.

He placed his hand on the doorframe and said, "Please come in, both of you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Xie."

Zhang Wen smiled and got inside, and Fu Hua followed her into the car.

After thanking him and closing the door, he returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

"Huahua, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Where should we eat? What do you want to eat?"

He looked at Fu Hua in the rearview mirror.

"Wonton stall".

Fu Hua thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the same place as last time, the food was pretty good, Wenwen, what do you think?"

"Can."

Zhang Wen rubbed her stomach and frowned: "I'm starving today."

"Didn't you eat today?"

Xie Ci turned around and looked at Fu Hua.

"without."

"have eaten."

Zhang Wen and Fu Hua spoke in unison.

The two laughed, and Fu Hua could only tell the truth: "There were too many people at noon, so I couldn't pay attention, and I wasn't that hungry either."

Xie Ci's eyes dimmed slightly. He shifted gears, and the car sped forward.

"I'm hungry too. Besides wontons, what else would you like to eat? I'll go buy it."

"Meat patty".

Fu Hua replied.

A rumbling sound came from inside the car.

Zhang Wen and Fu Hua exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

He said apologetically, "It was me."

Zhang Wen laughed heartily, leaning against the back of the seat in front of her.

He leaned closer and asked, "Brother Xie, what did you do this afternoon? You're so hungry! It's even more extreme than the two of us."

Xie Ci glanced at Fu Hua in the rearview mirror: "A meeting, it lasted four hours, and all we did was drink water."

"Four hours?"

Zhang Wen clicked her tongue in surprise, "Are the stools in your unit particularly hard?"

Xie Ci chuckled: "Military-grade, what do you think?"

Zhang Wen shrank back and whispered to Fu Hua, "Being a soldier isn't easy, being a leader is even harder. You'll get hemorrhoids all over your butt."

Fu Hua smiled brightly, then shook her head helplessly.

The car made several turns and eventually entered an old residential area.

The road narrowed as we walked, with low bungalows on both sides.

Finally, we stopped under a large locust tree, with a wonton stall not far away.

"arrive."

The farewell speech ended.

The three got out of the car and walked along the alley.

The streetlights were dim, with only one every long distance. The ground was uneven, covered with rainwater from the previous days that hadn't completely dried.

The wonton stall is still in the same old spot.

A small cart supports several folding tables and about a dozen small stools.

Steam rose from the pot, and the aroma wafted far and wide.

The boss bent down to clear the dishes, heard footsteps, looked up, paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Oh, it's you guys!"

Xie Ci paused, then pointed to himself: "You still remember us?"

The boss slung a rag over his shoulder and chuckled, "I remember, I remember. We run a small business, and our skill is remembering people. Besides, you're both handsome men and beautiful women, it's hard not to remember you."

He looked at Fu Hua, then at Xie Ci, and said, "You don't want scallions, and you want vinegar but not chili."

Xie Ci turned to look at Fu Hua, his eyes filled with surprise.

Zhang Wen chuckled beside her.

Did these two get together last year?

The owner then noticed her and quickly greeted her, "Oh, there's another young lady here. Please, have a seat. What would you like to eat?"

The three of them sat down at the table further inside.

Xie Ci ordered three bowls of wontons: one without scallions, one with extra vinegar, and one normal.

While waiting for the wontons, Zhang Wen looked around, finding everything new and interesting.

"This place is really remote."

She said, "You can't find anyone who isn't a close acquaintance."

"That's why the boss recognizes regular customers," Fu Hua said.

Zhang Wen nodded, then looked at Xie Ci, her eyes darting around. "Brother Xie, this is your first time here with Huahua, is it a date?"

Xie Ci was drinking water when he choked.

At that time, they weren't dating yet; he was the one who kept asking Huahua out.

She's hard to get!

It was here that we encountered that group of people, plotting to harm Hua.

Fortunately, he arrived in time.

Zhang Wen laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Fu Hua glanced at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You're such a gossip."

Xie Ci went to buy meat pies, and the two girls huddled together, whispering a few words.
