If that's the case, it would be even simpler. Just cancel the bounty on the task guild.The more Zhang Hongqi thought about it, the more alarmed and shocked he became. Such a vicious scheme with one li...Chapter 618 Acquaintances

"The business world is like a battlefield; such people are truly terrifying," Wang Zheng said. "They make it impossible to find any clues about them. If these kinds of individuals were on the battlefield, they would definitely be extremely formidable."

"This time we managed to turn the tables on him, but he certainly won't let it go easily. Next time, who knows what underhanded tactics he'll use It's really hard to guard against," Shishi Upang rubbed her forehead in frustration.

"Eating happily and playing happily is ultimately about living a happy life; why put so much pressure on yourself" Wang Zheng's mouth was full of steak as he mumbled: "From my perspective, don't bother guessing who that person really is. Live for today and worry less about all the nonsense. Don't you feel too tired already"

"I think you're more exhausted than I am," Shishi Upang raised her highball glass and gently tapped it against Wang Zheng's: "Let’s hope we can both find the lifestyle we desire."

The two glasses clinked softly, the red wine reflecting a mysterious hue under the lighting.

"Hey, look who that is," Shishi Upang pointed at the door.

Wang Zheng turned his head and saw a man and woman entering Narilan's door, picking out a table to sit down at.

"What are the chances of bumping into someone like this" Wang Zheng said with a smile. Then he turned back to Shishi Upang: "Let's listen in on what they're talking about."

Shangguan Shishi nodded repeatedly, clearly showing that such eavesdropping activities were very attractive to this young girl.

Everyone is naturally curious, especially women.

The reason why Wang Zheng was so interested was because the man who entered the restaurant was Chu Zhaonan.

As for that woman, he didn't recognize her.

Wang Zheng knew that in the past, Chu Zhaonan had a secret girlfriend named Xiao Juan, who was the signature bartender at Tianye Bar.

A female bartender with such an identity naturally couldn't become the second lady of the Chu family. Not only would Elder Mr. Chu not agree to it, but the entire household would likely oppose it as well. From their perspective, a descendant like Chu Zhaonan should have the best and most suitable marriage in all of China. Moreover, in such an influential political family, the marriages of their offspring are endowed with even more obvious political significance. Marriages must bring benefits to the family; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of their status if they just married any woman without background or identity

Xiao Juan understood all this, so when she realized Chu Zhaonan's identity, she immediately made the decision to leave.

Seeing this couple forced to part ways, all Wang Zheng could do was sigh.

He didn't advise Chu Zhaonan to give up everything for love. Some people like to be together forever, while others don't think it's that important. The current Chu Zhaonan lacked the courage to stand up against his family and the confidence to see love through to its end.

Everyone has a different personality, and everyone is in a different position, so the issues they consider will naturally be different. In this matter, Chu Zhaonan should not be blamed.

Wang Zheng could see that although Chu Zhaonan's face was掛著a faint smile at this moment, it was completely insincere and formal. Wang Zheng had seen the smile he gave when facing Xiao Juan; that was a genuine calmness and joy from within.

The woman was wearing a short evening dress, revealing若有若無的溝壑, in such weather, wearing clothes like this should still be somewhat chilly. Clearly, to meet with Chu Family's second young master, this girl had put everything on the line.

"Tian Tian, take a look and see what you want to eat. The steak at this restaurant is quite famous; it can be called one of the best in the capital city. I recommend that you try it." Chu Zhaonan smiled as he pushed the menu towards the girl's side, but this smile made him appear somewhat stiff.

This girl named Tian Tian was fully known as Xie Tian Tian and was the beloved granddaughter of Northeastern Xie Rongqing. Old Man Xie had also been a fierce warrior during the founding wars in China, although not at the top level, he was still renowned in the north. After the establishment of the country, Xie Rongqing started his career as the mayor of a provincial capital city in the northeast and gradually moved to the center; thus, the Xie family had profound influence over the northeast, with the Northeastern Xie Family being called a dominant clan on that land. Although their influence was slightly less than those from Northwest Li's family, they were still a major force.

Although the Chu Family didn't openly stand by the Su Family like the Song Family did, they had never publicly fallen out with Su Fuhua and often maintained an ambiguous relationship with this so-called first family of China. It was almost impossible to make them split openly.

Although Wang Zheng didn't know Xie Tian Tian's true identity, it was very clear that the little girl came from a powerful family; regardless of other things, just those luxury jewelry could blind one with its brilliance.

"Actually, I don’t eat much for dinner." Seeing Chu Zhaonan bring over the menu, Xie Tian Tian smoothed her carefully styled hair and said with a smile: "A girl's figure is very important; I usually only eat fruits during dinner time. If I do eat, it’s just a bit of vegetables and rarely meat, followed by an SPA."

Chu Zhaonan's eyelid couldn't help but twitch involuntarily: "An SPA after meals How often do you have one"

Chu Zhaonan also realizes that in such circles, health preservation is extremely important; many people even prioritize beauty over their lives. However, for some inexplicable reason, Chu Zhaonan doesn't particularly like women who value their figures and appearances more than their own lives.

"Of course I do it every day," Xie Tiantian coquettishly said: "Otherwise, how could my skin be so good and smooth"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhaonan's facial muscles became even more rigid. He knew that originally Xie Tiantian was a native northerner with a strong northern accent; somehow it had turned into a Taiwanese dialect instead, which made people think she had returned from studying abroad if they didn't know any better. Her coquettish tone was enough to make one's skin crawl.

"It seems that Chu Zhaonan is in for quite the trouble this time, forced by his family to go on a date," Wang Zheng said through gritted teeth, whispering.

"That girl isn't bad looking either; her figure is decent. Chu Zhaonan doesn’t lose out much," Shishi上官詩詩撇了撇嘴說道。

"You should know that not all men place so much importance on a woman's body shape," Wang Zheng’s rebuttal sounded rather weak.

"Pfft, if a woman is flat-chested like an airport runway, would you still fancy her" 上官詩詩反問道。

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng was inexplicably reminded of Ningxia.

: Wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! he really felt the pain on his body lessen dramatically."I don’t believe you won’t come out."Wang Zheng coldly smiled and took a grenade from his waist. Pulling off the fuse, he threw it towards wher...
