Chapter 163: A Beautiful Life Begins

Waking up, the sun was mild and the breeze was just right. Turning his head, he saw a pair of large eyes gazing at him, unblinking and filled with deep affection.

"What is it? Are you just that excited this early in the morning?"

"No, I was just wondering whether I should tell you something."

Gao Ran hesitated for a long time, but still did not say it. Seeing her biting her red lips, Zhang Tianfeng smiled softly and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't."

"But... but I have deceived you," Gao Ran said, her eyes filled with guilt.

She had spent the entire night thinking about her future path. After much deliberation, it seemed that only the man before her could provide the life she truly wanted. Although he was a bit of a flirt and had several female confidantes, he at least possessed a sense of responsibility, refusing to commit until he was certain. As for her family, she felt she only had her father left; her mother had treated her merely as a tool to extract money. This was a fact. Having lived with her mother for so many years, Gao Ran clearly remembered how serious, firm, and filled with the thrill of revenge her eyes had been when she spoke those words. If she chose to be with Zhang Tianfeng, she feared she might repeat the cycle. Thus, she had been finding ways to make herself strong, including seizing power from her father and taking charge of the public welfare project involving vehicle body advertisements, all to ensure she had the confidence and footing to stand on her own.

"Who hasn't lied? When I was a kid, I even lied to my parents to get money for snacks," Zhang Tianfeng said, patting Gao Ran's head. "As long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, anything else is just a matter of losing a bit of money at most. You know me—while I love money, once I have set my heart on someone, I am willing to give and lose as much as it takes."

"Then what is your bottom line?" Gao Ran bit her lip.

"Let’s save that talk for when you become my official girlfriend. Get up; we have a lot to do today."

The three leaders were impatient, which meant the public welfare plan for the vehicle body advertisements had to be launched ahead of schedule. Today involved filming, and since the filming required the participation of everyone from Shuangshen Village, Zhang Tianfeng planned to use this opportunity to finalize the craft preservation plan, hoping to rescue more traditional crafts on the verge of disappearing as soon as possible. Following that were the details of the plan, funding, and many other matters.

After getting up and washing, they drove together to the company's Zhucheng branch. Upon arrival, Zhang Tianfeng was surprised to see many people there, including Qin Yuelan, Red Hair, and Chen Jiaqi.

"What’s the occasion? Why is everyone here?"

"Boss, don't tell me you forgot that Bole Company is opening a branch in Zhucheng today."

Zhang Tianfeng paused, then tapped his forehead with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, there’s been so much going on lately, I completely forgot."

"We knew you'd forget, so we were prepared."

A cake was wheeled out from the room. On top of the cream was a miniature house, with the number "002" written in front of it. "This is to commemorate our first branch opening. As the ultimate boss and the mastermind behind the scenes, you must be the first to cut the cake."

"Fine, then." Zhang Tianfeng took the knife and looked at the people before him. "Then I wish you all abundant wealth and may you all become multi-millionaires soon."

Fifty years from now, these people would be famous figures on the Forbes list, enjoying the spotlight, simply because they had chosen to follow the right person. After the celebration ended, everyone busied themselves with their tasks, filling their schedules to the brim. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

Zhang Tianfeng, having been busy all day, sat at the dining table, looking at Gao Ran and the little girl Yun Qian, who was winking at him.

Zhang Tianfeng raised his glass and said, "After this meal, we will all go our separate ways. I hope the days ahead are better for everyone."

"Big Brother, I’m just going back to the village to film for two days, you’re acting like it’s a permanent goodbye," Yun Qian said, frowning.

Gao Ran also looked unhappy. "I think you don't want to graduate smoothly anymore, classmate Zhang Tianfeng."

"No, no, I'm just joking," Zhang Tianfeng laughed and said, "There is no banquet that doesn't come to an end. I wasn't saying that just to you two, but to many others as well. Drink up, and once we finish, we will go back and start our new lives."

"All right then, I wish everyone a bright future."

"Hey, how can there be a departure without me?" Fourth Uncle Zhang Jizheng approached with a woman and said with a smile, "I wish you all great prosperity and wealth."

The data was not ideal, so this book is concluding early. As my first book, it was a difficult journey, and there were many things I did not handle well. I hope to see you all in my next work.
