Tang Zheng and Fang Chongguo once again arrived at Fire Phoenix's company but were blocked outside by the secretary who tactfully said that Fire Phoenix was busy and would not be receiving guests. ()
She had already recognized Fang Chongguo and refused to be a guest.
Fang Chongguo secretly sighed as it was fortunate that he brought Tang Zheng otherwise he would not even be able to see Fire Phoenix's face. Thus he let the secretary pass on the message to Fire Phoenix that Tang Zheng had come to pay a visit.
The secretary suspiciously looked at the two and went back in. Not long after, she came out and looked at Tang Zheng with astonishment as she did not expect him to have such a big face.
"Young Master Tang, Manager Fang, Fire Phoenix invites you in." The secretary's attitude was clearly much more respectful.
Fang Chongguo bitterly smiled as he looked at Tang Zheng as his face was still bigger.
Pushing open the door and entering, Fire Phoenix had already welcomed them and warmly welcomed them: "Young Master Tang, Manager Fang, welcome. Ai, there are many things to do in the company so I've made the two of you wait."
Fang Chongguo did not speak as it was clear that Tang Zheng was more welcomed so he let him speak. Tang Zheng calmly said: "Fire Phoenix is too polite. We suddenly came to visit and have disturbed you."
"Young Master Tang, I don't like what you're saying. For you to be able to pull in my small plot of land is my honor. You must think highly of me, Fire Phoenix." Fire Phoenix straightforwardly said as she clearly had a bit more of a Jianghu aura which was very different from her previous white collar temperament.
Fang Chongguo tacitly understood as Fire Phoenix was using the Jianghu style to interact with Tang Zheng. It was clearly much more cordial compared to the business world.
"Could it be that Tang Zheng has also become a Jianghu person?" Fang Chongguo secretly wondered.
The few of them sat down on the sofa as the secretary served tea. She could not help but look at Tang Zheng a few more times as Fire Phoenix rarely treated people like this.
"Your side is quite unique." Tang Zheng praised as although Fire Phoenix was a Jianghu person, she was clearly a level higher than Lin Hu. Her business was neither black nor white and had a bit of grey temperament but it was much better than Lin Hu's business.
Take this construction company for example. At least from the outside, it looked like a proper company. As for how many underlings the company had, that was not something outsiders knew.
"Young Master Tang, you flatter me. This is just a small matter. Now that Brother Hu has taken over Boss Fan's territory, I can't compare to him." Fire Phoenix waved her hand and said modestly.
"You're not the same as him. Your focus is also different. I heard that your company is the leader in this field. How many people are looking forward to cooperating with Chief Huo." Tang Zheng lightly said.
Fire Phoenix looked at Fang Chongguo with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Young Master Tang, you flatter me. This is all because everyone is giving face. Everyone is picking up materials with high flames."
"Boss Huo, to tell you the truth, I came here today because I have something to ask of you." After the greetings, Tang Zheng went straight to the point.
"Oh, what's the matter, Young Master Tang?" Fire Phoenix asked knowingly.
Tang Zheng pointed at Fang Chongguo and said, "This is Uncle Fang. Chief Huo has already met him. Uncle Fang's real estate company needs Chief Huo's assistance in the demolition. What does Chief Huo think?"
Tang Zheng was not sure if the other party would agree to his request. After all, the two had only met once. If Fire Phoenix was really curious about him, then it was true. But whether or not she would give him face, he was not sure in his heart.
Fang Chongguo continued to say, "Chief Huo, since we are cooperating with your company, we will definitely not treat your company unfairly. Moreover, Chief Huo has helped me this time. This Fang will definitely remember it in my heart."
On Fire Phoenix's face hung an unfathomable smile, making it impossible for others to see through her thoughts. She looked at Tang Zheng with a burning gaze and said: "Young Master Tang, since you have such a good relationship with Director Fang, I will definitely help you. But if I have any trouble in the future, can Young Master Tang lend me a hand?"
Fang Chongguo immediately looked at Tang Zheng. He really did not understand what Fire Phoenix's power would require Tang Zheng's help in.
But Fire Phoenix was clearly not joking. Moreover, she deliberately let him lead Tang Zheng here, as if to obtain this promise.
Tang Zheng thoughtfully looked at the other party. He really could not understand Fire Phoenix's thoughts. According to Lin Hu's words, Fire Phoenix was able to support such a large business all these years. She was definitely not an ordinary person. Whether it was her temperament or her methods, she could be considered outstanding.
What does she need my help with?
Tang Zheng's eyebrows lightly jumped and said, "Chief Huo, your fame is widespread. Why would you need my help?"
Fire Phoenix chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She said neither too fast nor too slow: "People will have their highs and lows. I am just an ordinary woman, so I am not an exception. Don't look at my current glory. Who knows when I will be in dire straits. So when that time comes, I hope Young Master Tang will remember today's kindness and help me, Fire Phoenix, along."
Since she had already said this much, if Tang Zheng still did not agree, then there would be no need to continue the discussion. Tang Zheng knew the situation, so he nodded without hesitation: "Since Chief Huo thinks so highly of me, then I will naturally remember today's kindness."
"Hehe, then I will first thank Young Master Tang." Fire Phoenix was completely satisfied as she said with a smile.
Fang Chongguo let out a sigh of relief, but he was also somewhat depressed. All his efforts were in vain, but Tang Zheng only gave Fire Phoenix a promise. There was nothing substantial, but the problem was easily solved.
He really understood the essence of the phrase "comparing yourself to others will only make you angry."
"Young Master Tang, after that night, Brother Hu and I talked about many things. I wonder if Young Master Tang is interested in having a private chat with me?" Fire Phoenix probed.
She had always been observing Tang Zheng and had always been probing him. For such an unfathomable person to appear in the Ordinary Balance, she had no choice but to be careful. This was her usual practice for the past ten years. If she did not rely on this cautiousness, then she would have already left this world.
Fang Chongguo awkwardly looked at Tang Zheng, not knowing whether or not he should withdraw. It was better for him to know less about matters of the underworld.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng shook his head and said, "Since Brother Hu wants to discuss with you, then it is better for the two of you to know. I will not participate. Moreover, I am about to take the college entrance exam, so I do not have much time to deal with other matters."
Fire Phoenix looked at this serious face and felt a sense of absurdity. Such a mysterious youth was actually still in high school. Moreover, he was preparing for the college entrance exam.
She, as a delinquent girl, found it hard to understand.
"Young Master Tang really loves to study."
"Ai, there is no other way. You also know that I am last place. If I do not put in some effort, then I am afraid that I will not even be able to pass the college entrance exam. That would not be good." Tang Zheng sighed.
"With Young Master Tang's strength, even if you do not study you will still be able to make those famous university students work under Young Master Tang."
"I do not have that strength. Moreover, knowledge is the primary productive force. A person should read more books." Tang Zheng was now a cultivator. According to reason, he should just concentrate on his cultivation. However, he did not do so. Not only was he working hard to prepare for the college entrance exam, but he was also preparing to do well. This was not only for his grandfather, but also for himself.
In a person's life, the most important thing was experience. If one did not experience it, then it would always be a regret. But since he had this opportunity, how could he give it up?
Fire Phoenix did not understand his mentality but did not continue to persuade him. She only smiled and sighed: "Young Master Tang is indeed more insightful than a crude person like me. In the future, I hope to be able to interact more with Young Master Tang and let me be a little bit cultured."
Tang Zheng smiled and said: "If I can interact more with Young Master Fire, I will definitely benefit a lot."
"Then it's settled. Young Master Tang, do you mind leaving your contact information?" Fire Phoenix said.
Tang Zheng gave her a number and Fire Phoenix dialed it on the spot. Tang Zheng's phone rang. His old phone had completed its historical mission. Now he had a new smartphone that cost a thousand dollars. It was much better than his old one.
Tang Zheng wrote down Fire Phoenix's number and got up to leave: "Young Master Fire, I still have some matters to attend to so I will be leaving first. Let's chat again next time."
Fire Phoenix shook her phone and mysteriously smiled: "Okay, let's chat again next time."
"Uncle Fang, I will be going back first. You and Young Master Fire can discuss the matter of cooperation." Tang Zheng said.
Fang Chongguo said with satisfaction: "If there is anything you need, give me a call."
Fire Phoenix sent Tang Zheng to the door and affectionately shook hands with him. Only then did Tang Zheng leave and go straight home. Fang Shishi had already gone to his house to pack up his things. He had to hurry back.
When he got home, he found that many things had already been packed. Tang Dahai and Fang Shishi's busy figures shuttled back and forth in the room.
"Grandfather, do you still want this thing?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then I will pack it up."
Fang Shishi was like a little bee, tirelessly packing up his things. Her forehead was already covered in sweat but she was completely unaware. It was as if she had endless motivation.
Tang Zheng felt some heartache. She had never done this kind of work at home but was willing to do it for him. He quickly walked in and took the thing from her hand. It was a little heavy. He didn't know where she got her strength from with her small body.
"You are back."
She revealed a brilliant smile. Her snow white teeth paired with two small dimples made her look especially amiable. It was like a wife at home seeing her husband come home. Her eyebrows were filled with deep affection.
Tang Zheng wiped the sweat off her forehead and said: "Why do you have to work so hard? Just wait for me to come back."
Fang Shishi rubbed against his palm. Her face was so happy that it was about to bloom like a flower. "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I will do it first. When you come back, you can do less."
"What a silly girl." Tang Zheng's head was warm. If grandfather was not beside him, he would have pulled her into his arms.
"You rest first. I will do it." Tang Zheng said.
"Let's do it together."
Tang Dahai looked at the two from the side. His face also bloomed with a gratified smile. Originally, he was worried about Fang Shishi's family background. After all, the children of rich families were mostly spoiled. However, Fang Shishi did not have many bad habits in this area. This made Tang Dahai feel relieved. At least he felt that the two of them would live together harmoniously in the future.
The three of them were busy for a while. Everything was packed. In fact, there was not much. After all, the new house had all the daily appliances and furniture. They only needed to bring some daily clothes and other small items.
