Chapter 2476: Chapter 1561: I Don’t Believe It (2)
This old squad leader, probably wouldn’t like girls like Ji Ailin.
"Your old squad leader is not just anyone."
The melody of "Glory Days" plays.
Tie Jun indifferently clinks glasses with Fu Zili and says, "Are you just anyone?"
"You can tell by his demeanor."
Having struggled in society for so many years, Fu Zili naturally has a keen eye for people.
Tie Jun nods along with the song, "Originally, he could have stayed in the army, but instead, he chose to transfer back on his own. My old squad leader is very aware, knowing that if he stayed in the army, with his background, his development wouldn’t be as good."
"So many people want to stay in the army but don’t have the opportunity. To be able to choose to return to Hong’an shows quite a bit of courage."
Tie Jun laughs, "Some would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken, and others would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Since he chose to come back, he naturally has his reasons."
Tie Jun looks at a certain someone being pestered by Tong Dan, "Not everyone is as fierce as Jiang Chen, able to carve a bloody path on a higher plane all on his own. Choosing to enjoy life back here rather than toiling on a higher plane seems like a wiser choice to me."
Fu Zili nods, "Understood."
"Actually, I’ve always wanted to find a chance to introduce you two. You are a local swords and clubs man, and he’s a county Brahman. If there’s an opportunity to cooperate, it would definitely be a strong union."
Fu Zili smiles and gestures with his glass to Tie Jun, "I appreciate it, but I’m about to go ashore soon, so I’m no longer a local swords and clubs man."
"Really?"
Tie Jun looks skeptical.
"You don’t have to trust me, but surely you trust Jiang Chen?"
Tie Jun looks surprised, glancing over at someone sitting "embraced on both sides," "What’s going on?"
Fu Zili acts mysteriously, "I can’t say for now."
"Keeping secrets from me?"
Fu Zili laughs, "Not really. It’s just that this matter is still uncertain. Once it’s finalized, I promise you’ll be the first to know."
To take over the project for Greenfield Phase II—it’s not just going ashore, it’s like "ascending to the heavens."
By then.
He would transform from the undiscriminating trades and professions that Tie Jun spoke of into a hero for the country and the people.
Indeed.
A hero.
To complete the stalled building, allowing homeowners, who live each day fearing instability, to move into their apartments—how noble and towering an image does that paint?
By then.
No one would mention his past anymore.
Who hasn’t been young and reckless?
Who hasn’t made mistakes?
Whether Jiang Chen was intentional or not, his gift wasn’t just an opportunity for class transition but a perfect cleansing of his reputation!
Of course.
For now, it’s all still an illusion.
Whether it can become reality.
Depends on the decisions of the leading real estate company in Sha City, Green Land.
Hopefully, Green Land can maintain its consistent style and resolve the issues with thunderous methods.
Tie Jun clinks glasses with him, "Doesn’t it feel like being in a novel?"
Fu Zili is bewildered, "Hmm?"
"In the fantasy novels we used to read, the protagonist starts as humble as dirt, but later rises up to sanctify his physical form, becoming timeless. The pills he casually gives out are of no value to him, but to his friends and family, they’re like top-grade elixirs that can wash the marrow and fortify the bones, breaking through limitations..."
Fu Zili listens intently, his eyes lighting up, "It does have that vibe."
The two share a knowing smile.
"Glory Days" finishes, Wen Rong and Hong Xiaoyu enthusiastically applaud.
Wu Yubin, dubbed by Tie Jun as a county Brahman, looks at the singing Ji Ailin, "You wouldn’t happen to have studied vocal music, would you?"
An example of premium praise.
Ji Ailin’s cheeks warm, "No, I just like singing random songs at KTV."
"You’re the best singer I’ve ever heard."
Ji Ailin blushes even more.
"Old squad leader, saying that might offend the other ladies here."
Tie Jun carries his drink over and sits beside Wu Yubin.
"I arrived late and haven’t had the pleasure of hearing the other beauties’ voices, so my comment should be acceptable, right?"
High-quality men are usually eloquent.
"No problem at all, Miss Ji really sings beautifully, I willingly admit defeat."
Tong Dan, always straightforward, calls Ji Ailin "Miss Ji," making Ji Ailin slightly uncomfortable.
She opens her phone; everyone seems to be "Pei Yunxi," but the network is virtual; reality is real, and without beauty filters, seventy percent of women might not even compare to Ji Ailin, not to mention Tong Dan’s perfect figure, looks, and temperament.
Play and laugh, but don’t joke about appearances; in Sha City, no doubt Tong Dan is top-tier beautiful, and the impact of top beauty affects not only the opposite sex but also more on the same sex.
"Miss Tong sings well too!"
Ji Ailin quickly returns the compliment.
Though the words were polite, Tong Dan receives them with peace of mind and raises her bottle from afar, "Thanks~"
"You are indeed still the Tie Jun I know."
"Didn’t I boast?"
Wu Yubin nods, shifting his gaze from Tong Dan. It’s more about the vibe rather than the looks, and the other party’s presence is quite pleasant, unlike some women who act six parts arrogant for every three parts of beauty.
Of course.
He’s not a creepy guy who can’t move when he sees beautiful women; it’s just a simple appreciation of beautiful things. Yet compared to Tong Dan, another female nearby piqued his curiosity more.
A peculiar feeling.
Not exactly stunning.
Even in such a bustling environment, whenever his gaze lands on her, his heart inexplicably calms down.
He had never felt such an experience before.
"Can you tell me why I shouldn’t approach her?"
Wu Yubin clinks glasses with him.
"Old squad leader, some things are better left unknown."
Wu Yubin laughs.
"I only said hello as acquaintances. Just chatting."
"Jiang Chen and Qing Gege were childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven in everyone’s eyes. I think so too."
Tie Jun speaks while drinking.
Wu Yubin understands and directly asks, "Do they think so too?"
Tie Jun hesitates slightly and remains silent.
"Seems like a story that’s hard to sum up."
Tie Jun laughs, changes the subject, "How about Ailin?"
"She shouldn’t be a nurse; she should be a singer."
"Don’t skirt around the issue, how do you feel?"
"You’re not even married yet; why are you trying to be a matchmaker?"
"You’re no young man anymore; haven’t you had enough fun? You should consider this aspect. I know Ailin; she’s lively and cheerful, really nice."
"Lively and cheerful? I didn’t see that."
"...That’s because she doesn’t know you all well, so she’s holding back."
"Why don’t you introduce someone else? Like Miss Tong?"
"Old squad leader, you’re making things difficult for me. I can’t make decisions for Tong Dan."
"So you can make decisions for Miss Ji Nurse?"
"The thing is, she likes you a lot."
Wu Yubin looks at him, "Didn’t know you understood women this well back in the army."
Tie Jun says nothing more, offering only a little as a friend and not forcing it, "Drink."
"Your childhood friend, what does he do?"
"You mean Jiang Chen?"
No kidding.
Surrounded by two beauties, he’s bound to attract attention.
"Old squad leader, you’re not actually interested in Qing Gege, are you?"
"Am I that kind of person? We soldiers must have honor. Just curious."
Tie Jun ponders.
"Earlier during the introduction, you didn’t say a word, inconvenient? Confidential unit?"
Wu Yubin half-teases.
"No, it’s not that. He doesn’t work for the government."
Wu Yubin waits for him to continue.
Tie Jun silently takes a sip of wine, looking at him meaningfully, "If I say he feeds the government, would you believe me?"
The placement of the breaks is vital.
Of course Wu Yubin understands, he can’t help but glance again at someone "enjoying himself so much he forgets to return" here.
Though he’s more impressed by this person than the shareholder of Emperor.
But to feed the government?
"I don’t believe it."
