A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

She shook her head quickly, trying to cover it up.

"Holy crap! They're just hugging and kissing people in the street like that. Are they trying to kill us single people like dogs?"

Suddenly, a strange voice complained from the side.

A blond-haired guy walked by, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and shouted at them with a look of envy.

"Holy crap! I'm impressed that I can find girls while riding a beat-up electric scooter."

He complained again.

Lin Zheng turned his head to look at him, and after noticing the blond hair, he laughed and joked, "Bro, you don't even have a car, how are you going to pick up girls?"

When Huang Maozi saw Lin Zheng respond to him, he immediately laughed and replied, "Who said I don't have a car? I even have a motorcycle! And I still don't have any girls, right?"

He walked away with a grin, not knowing what he was laughing about.

After he left, Lin Zheng and Duan tide exchanged a smile.

Is it being said that picking up girls is really just a matter of buying a car?

"Alright, I'm not going to tease you anymore. I'll take you to a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains."

As Lin Zheng spoke, he continued to hold Duan tide, and drove the small electric car towards their destination.

"Tch! 'Older brother' indeed! He's clearly the younger brother, isn't he?"

Duan tide snorted and snuggled into his arms, enjoying her day as his girlfriend.

Soon, the two arrived at an old riverbank promenade upstream of the Songyun River in Songyun City, carried by the gentle breeze.

After parking the car, he led her across the pontoon bridge to a lush grove of trees, where they found a shady haystack on a sloping hillside and lay down.

The sun doesn't shine here, and the river breeze blows from time to time, bringing cool water vapor that feels refreshing on your face.

"This is a treasure trove that I discovered when I was in high school. When I'm feeling down, I like to come here, lie down, listen to the babbling brook, watch the ruins in the west wind, and enjoy the sadness. As I enjoy it, my mood improves."

Lin Zheng said contentedly after lying down.

Duan tide sat down next to him, surprised, and asked, "Oh? Even junior students have sad moments?"

"Of course, we guys actually feel sad for a few days every month for no reason."

Well, it's similar to your periods, except ours aren't very regular.

Lin Zheng explained with a smile.

Duan tide was instantly amused by this: "So you guys get your periods too, huh?"

She chuckled and joked, while simultaneously learning a useless piece of trivia.

Lin Zheng smiled without saying a word, quietly enjoying the moment, and casually pulled Duan tide, who was sitting, down to lie down with him, holding her in his arms.

He quickly voiced what was on his mind: "Sister tide, why are you willing to have a girlfriend for a day instead of just finding a boyfriend?"

He did find it quite strange.

Duan Xi is a pretty young lady who doesn't want a boyfriend, but she can accept the somewhat absurd behavior of being a girlfriend for one day.

Duan tide sighed softly, her face filled with melancholy.

She murmured, "I can't find anyone. I don't like anyone, and I don't want to take the initiative. Besides, the guys who pursue me are all ugly and unattractive, and I don't like them..."

Her words truly reflect the reality for most girls after they enter society.

Their ideal boyfriend is tall, handsome, and rich.

At the very least, they must be tall and handsome, and they also need to have the potential to make a lot of money in the future.

Then, these kinds of men are so outstanding, they're a rare breed. Once they're discovered, they're snatched up by proactive women long ago. How could it be a chance for passive girls like them?

This has resulted in an overwhelming number of single women over 30 in cities.

There have even been instances where thousands of women attend matchmaking events, but only a handful of men show up.

After listening to Duan tide's words, Lin Zheng suddenly realized.

"Holy crap! I'm actually a rare species!"

He was startled, and then he started laughing.

Wow, no wonder he can pick up girls so easily.

So he is the ideal type in the hearts of most girls.

He glanced at Duan tide, noticing the helplessness on her face, and teased, "Sister tide, do you like me?"

His question was a complete waste of time.

If you don't like him, why would you let him take advantage of you like this?

But men like to hear women admit it themselves, as it gives them a sense of satisfaction and conquest.

Duan tide rolled her eyes, smiled but remained silent. She wouldn't admit defeat so easily.

After a while, seeing that Duan tide remained silent, Lin Zheng's expression gradually calmed down. He lay down, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said wistfully, "Sister Xi, I feel like it's unlikely that I'll only have one woman in my life, so you'd better not fall for me, or I'll let you down."

He felt it was better to make things clear about this first benefactor in his life.

To avoid falling out later due to relationship issues and losing all friendship.

"I saw it coming a long time ago."

Duan tide was not surprised at all and calmly responded.

"Oh? You could tell that? Shouldn't you think I'm a fickle person, but in the end, I'll only marry one person and stay with them until we grow old?"

Lin Zheng replied in surprise.

Duan tide shook her head and said, "That's the choice of most men, but some people are destined to be different."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lin Zheng seriously and continued, "For example, you."

You're eighteen this year, right? And you've already started planning your own career, and it's not just a simple startup, it's a very ambitious one.

While ultimate success remains uncertain, taking the first step and getting off to a good start is already a success.

She paused for a moment to clear her throat before continuing, "Let me guess, is Zhou Shishi also your good friend?"

Lin Zheng fell silent after hearing Duan Xi's words, surprised by her strong analytical abilities.

Seeing that Lin Zheng remained silent, Duan tide smiled.

She guessed right.

She leaned over Lin Zheng and whispered in his ear, "Going it alone won't work. Only by joining forces can we make our business bigger and stronger."

The methods of forming alliances are nothing more than male-female bonds, with men binding women and women similarly relying on men; this is a very common approach.

She spoke vaguely, but quickly clarified and offered several possible scenarios.

The first type is a weak-strong alliance, where the man develops with the help of the woman's family, and the woman's family, in turn, supports him with the man's career.

The second type is a strong alliance, which is a family marriage, a powerful alliance.

In essence, one side must be the stronger party, and the outcome is a win-win situation.

Finally, there is a third possibility.

The leader is the weakest link, the weakest link, the weakest link...

For a weak first-generation entrepreneur, starting from a disastrous beginning and unable to unite with powerful forces, the only way to develop rapidly is to lead the weak to form alliances with the weak, and so on, uniting many weak entities to achieve widespread success.

She didn't spell out the "leadership of the weak" very clearly; what she actually wanted to express precisely was—bedroom politics.

I just can't bring myself to say it.

But Lin Zheng was able to understand what she meant.

These words were like the sun breaking through the clouds, dispelling the gloom in Lin Zheng's heart.

He felt guilty towards the women who liked him because of his constant flirtations with other women.

After hearing Duan tide's explanation, even though she still felt guilty, she was able to strengthen her resolve to move forward.

He secretly vowed that he would never let them down in this lifetime.

"Sister tide, if you were a man, you would definitely become a well-known entrepreneur, a very strong one," he exclaimed sincerely.

Duan tide chuckled self-deprecatingly upon hearing this: "Hey~, what kind of entrepreneur? We're clearly capitalists, okay? Besides, even if I'm a woman, I'm still pretty capable, aren't I?"

She spoke with great pride.

Among her peers, she was exceptionally talented.

Lin Zheng laughed along.

He suddenly flipped Duan tide over and pinned her down, saying in a sexy, deep voice, "Sister tide, do you know what a girlfriend should do?"

The ambiguous posture and words made Duan tide nervous again.

"What should I do? I'm getting old, don't joke around like that!"

She said nervously, completely losing the confident and spirited demeanor she had displayed just moments before.

At the same time, she wondered why the junior student was acting inappropriately again when they were having a good chat.

Looking at the mature yet youthful-looking woman beneath him, Lin Zheng's heart pounded rapidly.

Suddenly, he said in a coquettish tone, "Sister tide, I want to drink milk, milk from 99."

As he spoke, he gave a teasing wink with his right eye.

He didn't know why he could say such a thing.

Perhaps it was because we had just had a heart-to-heart talk and our relationship had grown closer that we were able to say it.

Duan tide was completely stunned by those words.

She was screaming wildly inside.

My God! Are people really this crazy after the testicles?!

My girlfriend, whom I've only known for a few hours, wants to... wants to nurse?

Or is she really getting old and out of touch with the times?

Chapter 155 Who is really taking advantage of whom?

Although Duan tide had the desire to steal and was eager to do so, this was in the wild, and she ultimately didn't have the guts.

She pushed Lin Zheng off her and said shyly, "Junior, how can you be so lewd? How can you say such things? Don't you know the occasion?"

Lin Zheng was thrown aside by her.

He gave a helpless smile; it seemed he had been rejected.

However, Duan tide wasn't really angry, which means she was only refusing out of shyness.

The two sat and chatted for a while longer.

This time we didn't talk about our careers, we just chatted about everyday family matters.

As they chatted, Duan tide began to miss her campus life. She even joked that she might go back to school to pursue a master's degree.

When she was head over heels in love, she really wanted to go back to school to pursue a master's degree, but she applied to Nancheng University, where Lin Zheng was studying.

In this way, he was a sophomore and she was a first-year graduate student, and they graduated at almost the same time.

She was asked, "What about the bar?"

She replied, "Why not just hire a professional store manager?"

She had no desire to work hard to earn more money or actively develop new money-making industries.

The current Tide Bar is enough to cover all her expenses for the rest of her life.

Even if she earns one or two million a year and goes bankrupt due to poor management or failure to keep up with the market after a few years, she will still have close to ten million in cash. At that time, she can live well even if she puts the money in the bank and lives off the interest.

Lin Zheng was filled with envy upon hearing this.

He secretly set his first goal: to earn enough money to live a life of leisure.

Hmm, let's set a small goal for now—ten million.

Time flies, and before they knew it, it was four o'clock. The two prepared to return home.
