[Urban] The New Five Golden Flowers (Complete Version) - 14

(Volume Four) Chapter

Four: The Peach Blossom and the Human Face
On Tuesday, March 15, 1994, on Linglong
Island Shangguan Xuanhua saw Qin Zhongping off. He then carefully checked his equipment, said goodbye to his wife, and headed towards the dock. After several months of hard work, Linglong Island had finally been completed as a tourist attraction combining worship and tourism, and was now just waiting to open. Shangguan Xuanhua suggested that any date could be chosen, but not only did Qin Zhongping disagree, but even Shangguan Rong, the village secretary, disagreed. They wanted to find a fortune teller to evaluate the date after they set it themselves. Seeing that Fang Zhenyu hadn't said anything, Shangguan Xuanhua naturally ignored them. But as soon as Qin Zhongping left, he was going to the island to oversee everything.
Shangguan Xuanhua wasn't very interested in this job. As Shangguan Hao had said, he wasn't well-educated; he was better suited for fishing at sea than managing a business. Besides, he had recently started learning aquaculture under Fang Zhenyu's guidance; where would he find the time? Before leaving, Shangguan Hao had instructed him to look after Qin Zhongping if he had to leave, so that Shangguan Rong wouldn't be left alone. Shangguan Xuanhua knew Shangguan Rong well; although he was enthusiastic about helping the villagers, he was timid, cowardly, and a bit greedy. Of course, Shangguan Hao wouldn't trust him to be alone on the island.
As Shangguan Xuanhua loaded his things onto his motorcycle, he wondered what to do on the island when he heard a car stop beside him. Looking up, he saw Fang Zhenyu and several others approaching. He quickly went to greet them: "Mr. Fang, what brings you here today?"
"What wind? A southeast wind," Fang Zhenyu said, pointing to the group behind him. "I've brought a bunch of money-makers with you. See how you can cooperate with them and get them to open their pockets." He then introduced the group of people—his friends—who didn't have much capital and, through Fang Zhenyu's introduction, wanted to start an aquaculture business with Shangguan Xuanhua.
Back when Shangguan Xuanhua wanted to start aquaculture, Fang Zhenyu said he would find him a partner because he didn't want to rely too much on his third uncle. He thought it was a joke, but Fang Zhenyu brought them today. He shook hands with each of them, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "But I don't have time to talk at home today."
Fang Zhenyu looked at the things on his motorcycle and asked, "Going out to sea again?"
"No," Shangguan Xuanhua explained that Qin Zhongping had gone to run errands and he was going to the island, then complained, "I really don't know why they're so superstitious. If you ask me, you can open a business anytime. If having a lucky day means you'll get rich, then we don't need to work; everyone can just choose a lucky day."
Fang Zhenyu and the others laughed. After laughing, Fang Zhenyu said, "In that case, wouldn't it be better? They wanted to come out and have fun anyway, so why don't you take them to the island? That way they won't have to buy tickets after the opening!"
"That would be great, but I was afraid the bosses wouldn't be interested in such a small place," Shangguan Xuanhua said happily. He really hoped someone could cooperate with him, but he couldn't break his promise to Qin Zhongping to go to the island. Now that they were willing to go, it was truly killing two birds with one stone.
One of them laughed, "Linglong Island has been promoted for a long time. Not only people in our city, but also many people from other places know about it and want to come and see it. We have such a free opportunity, how can we not seize it? Let's go, let's get in the car."
Seeing that they really wanted to go, Shangguan Xuanhua said, "You guys go to the dock first. I still need to buy some things. Otherwise, when we get there, there will be plenty of fun things to do, but not much to eat. Mr. Fang, are you coming too?"
Fang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Of course I'm going. My friends are here, what's wrong with me going to the side? But I have to finish some things before I go. If I do well, I can even let them experience three-star service."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately asked what three-star service meant, but Fang Zhenyu just smiled and didn't say, urging them to get in the car. So the others had no choice but to get in the car and leave, while Shangguan Xuanhua drove his motorcycle to buy things.
When they arrived at Linglong Island, Shangguan Xuanhua talked to the others about cooperation, but when they saw how beautiful the scenery was, they didn't want to discuss business anymore. They said that since Fang Zhenyu was managing things for them, they could just invest and let Shangguan Xuanhua handle the operations. They were only interested in sightseeing, leaving Shangguan Xuanhua at a loss. He tried to find Shangguan Rong but couldn't, and Wang Shouye said that he had also left Linglong Island early that morning. Shangguan Xuanhua had no choice but to prepare his own meals.
After waiting for a long time, Fang Zhenyu still hadn't arrived. Fortunately, there were many scenic spots on the island, and they could also fish. The group refused to eat until Fang Zhenyu arrived, saying they would talk about it when he arrived. Shangguan Xuanhua had no choice but to get them each a boxed lunch and let them fish by the sea. He then discussed with Wang Shouye how to expand the aquaculture farm based on their investment funds.
It was past 3 p.m. when Fang Zhenyu finally arrived, bringing a large group of girls with him. Shangguan Xuanhua complained to Fang Zhenyu, "Mr. Fang, why are you only arriving now? I don't know how to entertain them!"
"They don't have any objections, do they?" Fang Zhenyu asked.
"No, they know you're busy. They wouldn't let me talk to them,"
Fang Zhenyu laughed. "Is that not good enough? These guys are bored out of their minds. They just need a place to have fun. Isn't this fine? Go and call them back. Girls, show us what you're made of. This is the best place for you to practice. Let me tell you, these guys have been to a lot of places and stayed in many high-end hotels. They're very picky about service. You'd better show us your true skills." After sending Shangguan Xuanhua away, he spoke to the group of girls.
These girls were the same group that Wei Sujuan had trained. Some of them were going to work here. They were all very happy to hear that they could intern here. After hearing Fang Zhenyu's words, they immediately got to work. Of course, Wei Sujuan was also pointing and giving instructions from the side. Xu Xiangjun, who had come with Fang Zhenyu, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fang, aren't you worried about the impact of letting your friends stay here like this?"
Shi Xiaoyan, standing beside him, said, "This is a rare internship opportunity. What impact could it have?"
"I'm afraid Shangguan Rong doesn't see it that way," Xu Xiangjun sighed.
Fang Zhenyu also sighed and said, "If he finds out, he'll definitely have something to say, but we can't stop doing our work just because we're afraid of what he'll say. Both places are about to open, and if we don't let these girls do an internship, I'm afraid we won't achieve the desired results."
Just then, Shangguan Xuanhua returned with the group of girls. When they saw Fang Zhenyu, they all said he wasn't a good friend, abandoning them, but when they saw the group of girls, they all stared wide-eyed and fell silent.
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "How about it? If you're free tonight, stay here and see how our service is. But let's be clear, I won't take your money. You'll have to give our Coach Wei your valuable feedback." Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Let me make this clear: these flowers are 'for admiring from afar, not for touching.' If you try anything, don't blame me for being a bad friend."
"Of course, of course, we're staying here tonight, but you, Fang Zhenyu, have to stay with us."
"Of course I'll stay. Otherwise, if you two steal the forbidden fruit, how am I supposed to explain it to Coach Wei?" Fang Zhenyu said.
As they spoke, the banquet was already set out, and the girls invited them to take their seats. Everything was indeed like being in a grand hotel, which made the group extremely excited. They kept saying they would definitely bring their friends to play after the opening. After they finished their commotion, Fang Zhenyu asked Shangguan Xuanhua, "Xuanhua, has the investment been finalized? If not, then do your best to maximize tonight's fees."
Shangguan Xuanhua looked surprised and said, "Mr. Fang, didn't you say tonight was free?"
Everyone at the table, except for Wang Shouye, burst into laughter, because they all knew Fang Zhenyu was joking. They hadn't expected Shangguan Xuanhua to be so honest. Fang Zhenyu smiled and said to his friends, "See? You can trust someone like this!"
Shangguan Xuanhua then realized that Fang Zhenyu was joking with him, but he was also grateful because this made the others trust him much more. He said, "The bosses all said they'd give me the money, and you, Mr. Fang, would supervise its use. Besides, I just discussed with Uncle Shouye how to expand our breeding operation. Let Uncle Shouye tell everyone, okay?"
"Alright, Uncle Shouye, please tell us. Come on, let's listen and drink at the same time." Fang Zhenyu enthusiastically toasted his friends.
Those men were all heavy drinkers, and they listened and drank, even sharing their opinions. Seeing that Shangguan Xuanhua had come up with a plan so quickly, they trusted him even more and immediately authorized him to handle the breeding business. But after the discussion, Fang Zhenyu got Xu Xiangjun and Shi Xiaoyan involved, and they all got drunk, leaving the girls overwhelmed.
It was already past 8 PM. Fang Zhenyu, true to his word, didn't leave Linglong Island. Xu Xiangjun and Shi Xiaoyan also refused to leave, saying they wanted to watch the sunrise on the island the next day. But only Fang Zhenyu knew their true intentions.
The accommodations on the island were scattered. Fang Zhenyu was assigned to a small villa near the sea, which had two rooms. Xu Xiangjun and Shi Xiaoyan were also assigned there, along with a waitress. While the waitress was tidying up their rooms and returning to her lounge, Xu Xiangjun and Shi Xiaoyan rushed into Fang Zhenyu's room. A brief moment of intimate contact ensued, arousing their desire. However, seeing that it was still early and fearing someone might come looking for Fang Zhenyu, they didn't dare to go all the way and simply sat and talked.
"Mr. Fang, why isn't Yu Xiaozhen on duty here?" Although Yu Xiaozhen said she had no relationship with Fang Zhenyu, Shi Xiaoyan still seemed bothered by the matter.
"Why Yu Xiaozhen?" Fang Zhenyu looked bewildered.
Shi Xiaozhen giggled, "You took her because you're attracted to her promiscuity and want to cultivate her into your mistress, right?"
"What are you saying? Why are you calling every girl I have a connection with my mistress?" Fang Zhenyu didn't get angry, but his face was full of bitter smiles.
Xu Xiangjun knew why Shi Xiaoyan was acting this way, and she laughed, "She's jealous. She's uncomfortable because Yu Xiaozhen sent you flowers every day recently."
"Get lost, you're the one who's jealous!" Shi Xiaoyan and Xu Xiangjun playfully bickered for a while before she said, "I don't understand why Mr. Fang would take on a girl with such a bad reputation."
Fang Zhenyu sighed, "Xiaoyan, you can't judge a person just by what others say; you have to understand them yourself. Although Yu Xiaozhen is rumored to be promiscuous, you don't know what she's really like. You can't jump to conclusions."
"So you're saying she's really not like the rumors?" Shi Xiaozhen asked.
"I don't know if she's really as rumored, but I can tell from a few things that she's a good girl." Fang Zhenyu then recounted what he had encountered. It turned out that when Fang Zhenyu used to take the bus to and from the provincial capital, he had ridden on the bus operated by Yu Xiaozhen many times. He had seen her kindly helping the elderly get on and off the bus, and he had also seen her return lost items to their owners. Finally, Fang Zhenyu added, "So I feel that she is not the kind of person the rumors say. Moreover, I can see from her eyes that she is a very intelligent and ambitious person. If you don't believe me, you can find out later. She is probably studying through correspondence courses to obtain a higher degree. Even if someone who is ambitious like that is as the rumors say, we should give her a chance. Besides, aren't you all lewd?" As Fang Zhenyu spoke, he actually reached out and pinched Shi Xiaoyan's high breasts.
Shi Xiaoyan couldn't hold back any longer. With a soft moan, she nestled into Fang Zhenyu's arms, saying, "How can we be like that? We were just being lewd in front of you."
Fang Zhenyu caressed her as he said, "Xiaoyan, you're about to become the office director. You should be more careful in handling things and have a broader perspective."
"I don't want to be any director," Shi Xiaoyan groaned comfortably.
"Yeah, I don't understand either. Why did you make me the deputy director of some development zone?" Xu Xiangjun chimed in from the side.
Fang Zhenyu stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "It was Secretary Zhong's idea to make you the deputy director of the development zone. Actually, it's understandable. How could he explain it to your father if he didn't arrange things for you properly? Besides, Zhang Hong and Wu Xuedong have done such a good job. It wouldn't make sense not to promote them. If they leave, how can the development zone cooperate with the port development without a trustworthy person to lead it? The reason Zhang Hong didn't leave is because they couldn't find a suitable replacement for Wu Xuedong. So, his next step is to make you the party committee secretary."
"But I still prefer to work by your side," Xu Xiangjun said, throwing herself into Fang Zhenyu's arms.
Fang Zhenyu was deeply moved. He kissed her and said, "Actually, even if you go to the management area, you'll still be by my side, right? Just think of it as you thinking of me. Besides, if you don't go up, Xiaoyan and the others won't have much of a chance to advance."
Shi Xiaoyan couldn't wait any longer and started undressing Fang Zhenyu. Hearing this, she raised her pretty face and smiled at Fang Zhenyu, "Don't talk about me, I'm the same way. I'd be willing to be your little secretary, including your personal secretary." After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued her great mission of liberating Fang Zhenyu, which she quickly completed.
Seeing her impatient look and thinking that the group was already drunk and no one else would come looking for him, Fang Zhenyu said, "Why don't we try the bathroom here?"
"Okay." Xu Xiangjun couldn't hold back either, just like Shi Xiaoyan, and even more so. They say thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, but she had a little better self-control and didn't show it in front of Shi Xiaoyan. Fang Zhenyu's suggestion was exactly what she wanted, so she quickly took off her clothes and pulled Fang Zhenyu into the bathroom.
The bathroom facilities were quite good, although the bathtub wasn't suitable for three people. However, this didn't diminish their interest; in fact, the cramped space made it even more romantic, arousing their desires even faster. Fang Zhenyu began his assault on Xu Xiangjun inside, bringing her to her first climax before returning to bed with her and giving her another. He then moved on to Shi Xiaoyan.
Only after both Xu and Shi had achieved their maximum satisfaction did Fang Zhenyu reach his climax. Xu Xiangjun lovingly wiped the sweat from his brow, praising, "Zhenyu, you're a real man. I can't live without you for the rest of my life."
Shi Xiaoyan gasped for breath, but still said affectionately, "So, so, I'm willing to be his secretary forever, forever." At the same time, she tightly embraced Fang Zhenyu, burying his still-erect member deep inside her.
Faced with the two affectionate women, what could Fang Zhenyu say? He could only resolve to do his job better and make their lives happier. So he simply held both women tightly in his arms and kissed them. In this way, the two women deeply felt his affection.
On Sunday, March 20, 1994,
Fang Zhenyu had just paid for his ticket on Jiangxin Island when Lei Xiaomin arrived. Seeing the waitress accept Fang Zhenyu's money, he angrily said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you recognize Mr. Fang? He's here to play, and you dare charge him a ticket?"
The waitress said aggrievedly, "Brother Xiaomin, I..."
"Don't call me Brother Xiaomin, call me Manager Lei. What did I tell you before? How many people come here and can't we charge them tickets?"
Seeing the girl was about to cry, Fang Zhenyu quickly stopped Lei Xiaomin, also a little angry, and said, "Lei Xiaomin, haven't seen you for a few days, and now you're a manager, you've become so arrogant? I told her to collect the money, so take your anger out on me."
"Brother Fang, I didn't mean to..."
"No matter what, you can't swear, understand? Quickly apologize to this waitress," Fang Zhenyu said sternly.
"Yes." Lei Xiaomin listened to Fang Zhenyu and immediately turned to the waitress, saying, "Qiu Lan, I'm sorry!"
The waitress panicked and said, "Brother Xiaomin, it's my fault. I've made you suffer Fang's scolding."
Fang Zhenyu laughed and said to Ning Yufang and the others beside him, "It seems it's hard to be a good person. I helped her, and instead of thanking me, she's pitying Xiaomin."
"Serves you right! Who told you to come to someone else's turf and act tough!" Ning Yufang said coquettishly.
Lei Xiaomin was at a loss for what to do when Fang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Xiaomin, you know Secretary Zheng, this is Secretary Zheng's wife, Teacher An, this is your sister-in-law Yufang, and this is Sister Yufen." Then he pointed to Zhong Yuguang following behind and asked, "Who is this? Do you know him?"
Lei Xiaomin looked carefully and exclaimed, "It's Secretary Zhong of the Municipal Party Committee!"
Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng stepped forward. Zhong Yuguang shook Lei Xiaomin's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, and don't treat me like some kind of secretary. I'm here on vacation today, so please don't make me work."
Lei Xiaomin was very excited that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary would come to his poor, remote place. He held Zhong Yuguang's hand tightly and couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, he could only say "thank you." At this moment, Ning Yuheng, who was walking behind Zhong Yuguang, stepped forward and said, "Xiaomin, you don't need to be afraid of him. We are the owners here."
Lei Xiaomin, of course, already knew that Ning Yuheng was Zhong Yuguang's wife. Seeing her say this, he calmed down, released Zhong Yuguang's hand, and said, "In that case, you can't accept tickets anymore."
Fang Zhenyu said seriously, "Xiaomin, the company doesn't just belong to you. Even though you are a superior, you should still accept tickets privately. Otherwise, everyone has relatives. How many can you take care of? If you don't accept tickets when your people come, and you don't accept tickets when his people come, then your company can't continue operating."
Seeing Fang Zhenyu's expression, and then looking at Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng, whose faces were the same as Fang Zhenyu's, Lei Xiaomin had no choice but to agree. He took the lead and led everyone inside.
"Brother Xiaomin, the number is wrong," Qiu Lan called out.
"What's wrong?" Lei Xiaomin thought that Fang Zhenyu and his group had fewer tickets and wanted to stop Qiu Lan from speaking.
Qiu Lan said, "We don't need so many tickets. There are only seven of them, but they bought twelve."
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "Don't worry, we have five more people behind us, most of whom you know. Xiaomin, there's one you really want to see, so you don't need to come up with us. Just wait for them here." As he spoke, he walked up the mountain.
The municipal party secretary and the district party secretary were both there, so who dared not accompany them? Lei Xiaomin naturally wanted to go with them, but Ning Yuheng stopped him, saying, "Xiaomin, don't pay attention to them. They have something to say. Let's wait here for the others, and we'll go up and make arrangements later." Lei Xiaomin asked her who was behind them, but she didn't say.
Zhong Yuguang, Fang Zhenyu, and the others came here to have fun, but it wasn't just for fun. Originally, it was the Ning sisters' idea to come here; they invited Fang Yuqiong and Ning Yuzhi, but Wu Xuedong told Zheng Bin about it, so they decided to come together. After receiving the news, Ning Yuheng told Zhong Yuguang. Zhong Yuguang, having heard from Ning Yuheng that the scenic spot was well-run, and having not had a vacation in a long time, wanted to spend a relaxing weekend with Ning Yuheng, so he came along. However, he hadn't seen Fang Zhenyu for a while, and the two naturally had a lot to talk about. Therefore, when Zheng Bin saw the two heading towards the viewing pavilion at the top of the mountain, he consciously stayed at the service area with Ning Yufen
and the others to prepare the barbecue items they had brought. Soon after, Ning Yuheng arrived with Fang Yuqiong and the others. Everyone, carrying their food, followed Lei Xiaomin to a good spot and began barbecuing. Along the way, Ning Yuheng saw many people enjoying themselves and asked, "Xiaomin, how's business lately?"
Ning Yuheng was one of the owners here and also the wife of the municipal party secretary, so Lei Xiaomin naturally answered seriously. Since its opening, the place has been bustling with customers, though usually in groups of three to five. But since the day before yesterday, the number has increased significantly. Today, excluding Fang Zhenyu and his group, there are already more than ten people. Finally, he said, "Just as we predicted, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the number of visitors here should exceed one hundred per day."
Fang Yuqiong smiled and said, "Boss Ning, don't worry, the business I recommend is never wrong."
Ning Yuheng rolled her eyes at Fang Yuqiong and said, "Forget it, I wonder if you Fangs are particularly good at doing business, or if you've been influenced by certain people." As she spoke, she looked up at the mountaintop, where she could see the Guange Pavilion. She saw Fang Zhenyu and Zhong Yuguang chatting amicably over the river, and she couldn't help but feel quite pleased with herself.
Fang Yuqiong retorted, "Actually, what's the difference between the Fang family and the Ning family?"
"Mommy, I want to go up and play with Uncle Fang and Uncle Zhong." Just as the two were chatting animatedly, Xiao Jian saw the two people on the mountaintop and started walking up.
Xu Xiangjun knew the two men upstairs must have something they didn't want others to know, and wanted to stop Xiao Jian, but Ning Yufen pulled her back, saying, "Let him go up. They should be finished talking by now. Besides, Xiao Jian can't bother them." Then, she called to Xiao Jian, "Xiao Jian, call your two uncles down to eat."
Xu Xiangjun and Fang Yuqiong looked at Ning Yufen with some surprise. From her words, it seemed she already knew what Zhong Yuguang and Fang Zhenyu were talking about. Xu Xiangjun couldn't help but look at Ning Yuheng. Ning Yuheng smiled at them and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what they're talking about either." Ning Yuzhi
and Zheng Bin's wife also went over and started talking to them about Zhong Yuguang and Fang Zhenyu. Zheng Bin's wife was named Anjing, which was truly fitting, as she appeared very quiet. She didn't say a word, just quietly watched them from the side, a sweet smile on her face. Li Wei and Ning Yuheng, on the other hand, became more and more excited as they talked, and their voices grew louder and louder.
Zheng Bin and Wu Xuedong, who hadn't seen each other for a while, were chatting nearby when they heard the lively conversation and couldn't help but be drawn in. Zheng Bin was surprised to see his wife, who rarely interacted with others, there, as this was unusual. He went over and asked, "Hey, who here is the organization minister?"
All the women turned their attention to Zheng Bin. Li Wei said, "Besides the secretary's wife, who here is qualified to be this kind of unofficial organization minister?"
Ning Yuheng rolled her eyes at Li Wei before saying to Zheng Bin, "Why aren't you getting something good to eat? What are you doing meddling in our women's affairs?"
"I want to hear if I have a chance for promotion," Zheng Bin said with a smile.
"Yes, you'll be the municipal party secretary next term. Hurry up and get something to eat, otherwise, if our Teacher An goes hungry, I wonder if you'll have anything to eat when you go home?"
"Who dares not feed our district party secretary!" Before Ning Yuheng could finish speaking, Zhong Yuguang's voice rang out from the side. It turned out that after Xiao Jian went up, he pulled the two grown men down without saying a word.
"Teacher An!" Ning Yuheng said with a smile.
Zhong Yuguang looked at An Jing's gentle and refined appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher An wouldn't give Secretary Zheng any food either?"
"Or maybe it's you, Zhong Yuguang, who's going to be hungry." Ning Yuheng glared at him fiercely and turned away.
Everyone burst into laughter. Amidst the laughter, Fang Zhenyu and Xiao Jian arrived. He had naturally heard their conversation and said to Zhong Yuguang with a smile, "You were very clear-headed before you got married. How come you've become so confused after only a few days of marriage?"
Zhong Yuguang was immediately confused by Fang Zhenyu's words and asked, "What am I not clear-headed about?"
Fang Zhenyu said, "I remember you said before you got married that the women of the Ning family were not to be trifled with. Now you actually dare to provoke them. Aren't you confused?"
"Yes, yes, I am confused."
This time it was Ning Yufang's turn to speak up: "I think you're also worried about not having food. Why don't you come and help us grill something?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Zhenyu hurriedly ran over. A burst of cheerful laughter erupted on the grass, attracting the attention of many people nearby.
When the laughter subsided, Zhong Yuguang said, "Let's be quiet, otherwise someone might sue us for disturbing the peace. Zhenyu, you'll have to work hard here with them to get food. Zheng Bin, Xue Dong, and I will go fishing over there."
"Okay, we're waiting for your big fish," Fang Zhenyu said with a smile.
After Zhong Yuguang and the other two left, only An Jing remained who hadn't yet had any intimate relations with Fang Zhenyu. Therefore, the women spoke very casually, sometimes making An Jing blush. Li Wei, not wanting to be too intimate with Fang Zhenyu in this place, asked An Jing to take Xiao Jian to the service area to get something. The remaining women became even more frenzied. Looking at these women, more beautiful than flowers, Fang Zhenyu sighed deeply and secretly gave them a little treat before seriously saying, "Don't go too far, your husbands are here."
Ning Yuheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, we know our limits."
"That's good."
About half an hour later, Zhong Yuguang and the others returned, bringing back two or three fish. Although small, they were enough to excite the women for a while. Their barbecue was also ready, and everyone sat down to eat lunch. The most lively one at the table was naturally Xiao Jian, walking around among them, making everyone laugh. The women laughed heartily.
Looking at the group of beautiful women, Fang Zhenyu quietly said to Wu Xuedong beside him, "Actually, we didn't need to come here to see the peach blossoms."
"Why?" Wu Xuedong didn't understand at first, but Zhong Yuguang and Zheng Bin next to him laughed.
Fang Zhenyu said, "Look around us, aren't there many beautiful flowers?"
This immediately caused a great commotion. The women threw food and drinks at Fang Zhenyu, and even An Jing finally joined the fray, forcing Fang Zhenyu to dodge left and right, but he still got hit by a few "balls." Zhong Yuguang laughed loudly and said, "Fang Zhenyu, you've finally met your match? Didn't you just warn me not to mess with the Ning family girls? How could you forget?" Before he finished speaking, he was attacked again, and Zheng Bin and Wu Xuedong were so frightened that they didn't dare to utter a sound. Wasn't that right? One was the municipal party secretary, and the other was the chairman of a large company, and they were already like this, so how could the two of them, with their lower official positions, dare to speak up? Fortunately, Lei Xiaomin came over, and the fight ended.
"Secretary Zhong, are you having fun here?" Lei Xiaomin saw Zhong Yuguang and Fang Zhenyu's expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to, struggling to hold it in.
Zhong Yuguang smiled wryly, "Look at me in this sorry state, how can I be happy?"
Although Zhong Yuguang said this, Lei Xiaomin knew he was actually happy, so he felt relieved. Seeing how approachable he was, he also smiled and said, "This isn't within our service area, it's none of our business. If you want to complain, please go to the Women's Federation, but you'll have to see if there are any laws protecting men's rights."
After another burst of laughter, everyone calmed down. Zhong Yuguang and several men stood beside the peach blossom array, looking at the unopened buds, imagining the beautiful scenery when the flowers bloomed, and said, "Xiaomin, you've done a good job here. I think with a little more improvement, it would be a very nice leisure place." He turned to Zheng Bin and said, "Your..." "The district party secretary should give them more support,"
Lei Xiaomin said earnestly. "Secretary Zheng has already given us a lot of help."
Zheng Bin, who had been listening to Lei Xiaomin and Zhong Yuguang's exchange, became even more determined to make Lei Xiaomin the village head of Xiajiang Village. So he took the opportunity to say, "Xiaomin, Secretary Zhong is so concerned. You should find a way to mobilize the entire Xiajiang Village and make it a model for our Chaoyang District."
This time, Lei Xiaomin did not back down. Instead, he said, "I will do my best to make it prosperous and beautiful."
At this moment, another group of people came aboard from the dock. Zhong Yuguang asked curiously, "There were already quite a few people when we arrived, but we didn't see any cars. How did these people get here?"
"They came by boat from the tourism company. We have a joint venture with the city tourism company," Lei Xiaomin explained.
“Alright!” Zhong Yuguang paused, and everyone assumed he was praising the idea, but instead he said, “You guys are all lying to me. There’s such a comfortable route, yet you make me bounce around in the car.”
Fang Zhenyu laughed, “Otherwise, how would you know how difficult it was to get here? Repairing this section of the river embankment will greatly promote the development of this rural area.”
Zhong Yuguang then understood Fang Zhenyu’s intention. He glared at Fang Zhenyu and said, “You, Fang Zhenyu, you’re playing tricks on me! But I’ve convinced you, so let’s repair this section first.” It turned out that Zhong Yuguang and Fang Zhenyu had some disagreements about building a standard river embankment. Zhong Yuguang wanted to repair the side closer to the city, while Fang Zhenyu wanted to repair this side. Fang Zhenyu could have easily used the fact that he had secured the funding himself as an excuse, but he didn’t want to force Zhong Yuguang, hence his current actions.
To appease Zhong Yuguang, Fang Zhenyu said, "I know people's lives and property are important, but that section in the city was repaired just two years ago and is still safe. It should last another year or two. Don't worry, I'll try to get another section back next year. Even if I can't get it back, my riverside development project will start there, okay?"
"You said it yourself," Zhong Yuguang said, staring at Fang Zhenyu.
"Of course," Fang Zhenyu met his gaze.
"Alright, let's go have some fun." Zhong Yuguang led the way back to the group of women.
While the men were talking, no one disturbed them. Seeing them come over, the beautiful women started playing around with them again, and laughter rang out once more.
Thursday, March 24, 1994, in the conference room of the Linhai Municipal Party Committee.
The second session of the nth Linhai Municipal People's Congress had only ended a week ago, and Zhong Yuguang had already convened leaders from all relevant departments of the city for today's work meeting. He had originally planned to hold it on Monday, but because Chen Xiangdong was attending a meeting in the province, it was postponed to today. The meeting was attended by the top leaders of various departments and bureaus across the city. It was nearly three o'clock, and almost everyone had arrived
. Zhong Yuguang was still pacing in his office, seemingly preoccupied with endless worries. His secretary, Xiao Gao, came in and told him everyone had arrived, but Zhong Yuguang remained lost in thought. Actually, it wasn't anything major he was thinking about; it was just that Liu Yandong had arrived as soon as he got to work and had secretly told him that Chen Xiangdong and his group were conducting a private investigation into Fang Zhenyu, mainly concerning his private life. He trusted Liu Yandong's words, based on Liu Yandong's work and performance recently, and of course, Ning Yuheng's feedback. This made him both happy and worried. Happy that Liu Yandong had sided with him again, but worried about what they had found out about Fang Zhenyu.
Zhong Yuguang was thinking about how to stop this, and at the same time, he thought of Fang Zhenyu. With so many girls around him, he wondered if Fang Zhenyu could control himself. In his eyes, Fang Zhenyu should be fine, but he was most afraid of the unforeseen circumstances. After all, men always have moments of impulse, just like him and Xu Xiangjun. Although they knew it was impossible, they still did something outrageous. It's just that Xu Xiangjun didn't take it to heart. He himself found it strange. Logically speaking, his conditions weren't bad, so why didn't Xu Xiangjun want to be with him? For a while, he lost confidence in himself. Fortunately, Ning Yuheng's appearance allowed him to take another step in matters of the heart.
Lost in thought, Zhong Yuguang almost forgot about the meeting. Xiao Gao came in again to remind him, and he hurriedly walked to the meeting room. When he entered, everyone stared at him because he was never late for meetings or anything else. Zhao Wenhua and Nong Shutang both looked at him questioningly. He had no choice but to lie and say, "Sorry, I got a call from upstairs." Then he had Zhao Wenhua announce the start of the meeting.
The meeting mainly focused on outlining future work, and was led by Chen Xiangdong. Zhong Yuguang gave the concluding remarks last, so after Zhao Wenhua announced the start of the meeting, he still had time to concentrate and carefully survey the room. In the year since arriving in Linhai, he had finally stabilized the overall situation. The biggest contributor to this was undoubtedly Fang Zhenyu's port development, so he absolutely could not allow anything to happen to Fang Zhenyu. He was determined to clarify this matter at the meeting today, lest some people try to sabotage him.
Seeing his state, Zhao Wenhua knew he wasn't on the phone, but something had happened. However, it wasn't appropriate to speak in this setting, so she handed him a note: "What's wrong today?"
Zhong Yuguang shook his head, struggling to refocus his attention on the meeting. Chen Xiangdong had almost finished assigning tasks, and he said, "What I just said is the key work we need to do this year. Comrades, the completion of the Eighth Five-Year Plan has reached its most crucial stage. We all need to work together to strive for its early completion."
After a round of enthusiastic applause, Zhao Wenhua summarized Chen Xiangdong's speech and then, according to the agenda, invited several bureau chiefs to make statements. First was Meng Jialiang. His achievements over the past year were particularly prominent due to the rapid progress of the port access road, but his speech was very brief. Liu Yandong simply stated that he would do everything according to the requirements of the Municipal Party Committee, and that was it. He also talked about tourism, focusing on the development along the river, which earned him applause. Others, such as Long Zhongxiang and Luo Weisheng, didn't have much to say, only making a statement. But people didn't let Luo Weisheng off the hook, insisting that he talk about the reform of the Dongfang Printing Factory. He had no choice but to talk about it, and finally he said with emotion: "From this, we can draw a conclusion that the rise and fall of an enterprise depends on its leaders. If the leaders are truly working for the benefit of the workers, then the enterprise will definitely succeed."
People below started to discuss, and some even whispered: "Don't the leaders of other enterprises truly work for the benefit of the workers?"
Zhao Wenhua, hearing this, knew that if they continued to discuss, it would definitely cause a debate, so he asked Zhong Yuguang to speak.
After careful consideration, Zhong Yuguang decided it was best not to mention Fang Zhenyu's matter at the meeting, as that would alert Chen Xiangdong and others, and could also harm Liu Yandong. Therefore, he followed his prepared speech, only emphasizing towards the end: "I have stressed at every meeting that the development of the port is the top priority of all our city's work. Under no circumstances should we fail to ensure the smooth progress of port development, and we will not allow anyone to obstruct it. Many of our units have done this over the past year, which is excellent. I hope everyone will continue to support port construction. Some of our units have not done enough in this regard, so in the new year we must correct our attitude and make sure to do this work well." After pausing, he continued, “I overheard everyone discussing the leaders of some enterprises, saying that the leaders of enterprises in Linhai don’t care about the interests of their employees. This is a blow to many. But I think this raises a question: Why has the Dongfang Printing Factory achieved such great success after its reform? Is this related to our leaders? Everyone can discuss this after the meeting and find a better path for the reform of our state-owned enterprises. Personally, I think the leaders of our state-owned and collective enterprises in Linhai are generally good, but they lack a pioneering spirit. This requires us to discover, cultivate, and boldly use talent.” After adding a few encouraging words, the meeting ended. Chen Xiangdong felt more at ease
seeing that Zhong Yuguang didn’t raise any questions about his work assignments. As soon as the meeting ended, he nodded to Zhong Yuguang and left.
Zhong Yuguang gestured for Nong Shutang and Zhao Wenhua to go to his office and then left the meeting room. After waiting a while in the office, Zhao and Nong arrived. “Secretary Zhong, is there something you need?” Nong Shutang had also noticed that Zhong Yuguang was acting strangely today, so he asked as soon as he entered the office.
Zhong Yuguang asked the two to sit down, gestured for Xiao Gao to leave, and then asked Nong Shutang, "Old Nong, I know you've been paying close attention to Fang Zhenyu. Have you noticed anything wrong with him?"
"No, why?" Nong Shutang was greatly surprised, thinking that Fang Zhenyu had really encountered some problem, which would be quite embarrassing for him, since he had promised at the Standing Committee meeting to investigate Fang Zhenyu. Now that Zhong Yuguang had discovered something, he was still kept in the dark.
Zhong Yuguang didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Nothing wrong with his lifestyle either?"
Nong Shutang thought for a moment before saying, "Although many people say he's a womanizing chairman, apart from the many beautiful girls around him, I haven't noticed anything out of line."
"That's good!" Zhong Yuguang breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Zhao Wenhua entered, he saw Zhong Yuguang questioning Nong Shutang, and only then did he have a chance to speak: "Secretary Zhong, what happened?"
Zhong Yuguang pondered for a moment before recounting what Liu Yandong had said, omitting that it was Liu Yandong who had told him. Finally, he said, "I'm really worried that Fang Zhenyu might have some sore spot that those people will use against him."
Zhao Wenhua laughed, "No wonder they want to cause him trouble in this area. He has too many women around him. Tell him to be more careful in the future."
"Tell him to be careful? How can he be careful? Don't say that all men like to work with beautiful women. Even if they don't, those women are his capable subordinates. You want him to fire them? Even if he's willing, I'm not! That would cause such a huge loss to our port development!" Zhong Yuguang said.
Nong Shutang said, "Whether Fang Zhenyu is alright or not, we won't discuss that. What those people did was illegal. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Secretary Zhong, leave this to me!"
"Alright! But it must be done secretly."
"Understood."
"Not only do we need to see if someone is really investigating Fang Zhenyu in secret, but we also need to find out if Fang Zhenyu really has any problems in that area. If it's a minor issue, it'll be good for him to pay attention. If it's a big problem, we can't tolerate it." "
Secretary Zhong, with your words, I feel at ease to investigate."
"Good, go ahead, and act quickly."
Nong Shutang took his leave, and Zhao Wenhua asked, "If it really is like that, can you really handle it?"
Zhong Yuguang sighed and said, "What can we do? We can only put him behind the scenes."
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

(Volume Four) Chapter Five: Romance

on a Deserted Island
On Monday, March 28, 1994, at the Linhai Hotel,
Ye Peidong finally completely sided with Chen Xiangdong. There were many reasons for this, but two main ones were: first, Zhong Yuguang had warned him not to make a move on Shangguan Wenxin; and second, Fang Zhenyu was demanding the return of the ten-kilometer standard river embankment project. He was already a bachelor, fully qualified to pursue Shangguan Wenxin. As a friend, Zhong Yuguang not only didn't help him, but why was he stopping him from pursuing her? As for the ten-kilometer standard river embankment, if it had been built in the city as originally planned, it would have fallen under the scope of urban construction, and Chen Xiangdong had already internally decided on it for him. However, Zhong Yuguang didn't consider his feelings at all and actually agreed to Fang Zhenyu's plan to build it on the opposite bank, thus turning it into a tourism project. Originally, Liu Yandong could have gotten the tourism project, but he linked it with the development along the river and handed it over to Fang Yuqiong. As a result, Ye Peidong lost what he had in mind, so he no longer considered Zhong Yuguang a friend. Of course, he didn't openly turn against him either.
Tonight, he invited Chen Xiangdong to dinner, partly to thank him for securing a road repair project for him, and partly hoping he would find him more work. However, before inviting Chen Xiangdong, he took Chen Chunyan to a hotel and booked a room. After a passionate encounter, Chen Chunyan was completely captivated by his masculine prowess. Her full breasts pressed against Ye Peidong's chest, and she breathed, "Peidong, you're the real man."
Ye Peidong was secretly pleased. He had only met Chen Chunyan before the Spring Festival. When he discovered her significant place in Chen Xiangdong's heart, he began his pursuit. With his handsome looks and wealth, he easily attracted her. So, tonight he tentatively invited her to a hotel. To be honest, Ye Peidong was quite capable in this area; he was confident in his abilities. He knew that if a woman received money and sexual satisfaction, she would often be devoted to him. And now, his prediction had come true. He held her slender waist tightly and laughed, "How does he compare to your mayor?"
"You're a hundred times better than him, of course," Chen Chunyan said. Although she had also experienced orgasm with Chen Xiangdong, it was through hard work, unlike Ye Peidong's effortless delivery. But she was worried because she knew Chen Xiangdong liked her very much, and if he found out, his jealousy would be difficult to manage.
After hearing Chen Chunyan's concerns, Ye Peidong laughed, "Don't worry, I won't let him know."
They chatted sweetly for a while longer, and as it was almost time to leave, Ye Peidong handed the keys to Chen Chunyan and left the hotel. He was, after all, a businessman, and very shrewd in this regard. He didn't want Chen Chunyan to affect his business. Although Chen Chunyan was a stunningly beautiful woman, she wasn't worth him sacrificing everything for; Shangguan Wenxin would be a different story. He thought to himself as he walked.
After leaving the hotel, Ye Peidong wandered around outside, figuring Chen Xiangdong should be arriving soon, before returning to his reserved private room. Sure enough, Chen Xiangdong arrived shortly after, along with his secretary, Lin Heng.
After some pleasantries, Chen Xiangdong asked with a smile, "Mr. Ye, what good news is there today?"
Ye Peidong chuckled, "Does inviting the mayor to dinner require a good news event? Being able to dine with you, Mayor, is a joyous occasion for me in itself."
Chen Xiangdong laughed heartily, saying, "Peidong, you really know how to talk. No wonder your business is so good."
"Not at all, not at all!" Ye Peidong smiled obsequiously, but inwardly cursed: No matter how good the business is, isn't it all going towards paying tribute to you officials? It turned out that although Chen Xiangdong didn't take his money, Chen Chunyan had taken quite a bit, but luckily he could now recoup his losses with her beautiful body.
After everyone found their seats, Chen Chunyan arrived. Satisfied with her desires, she looked exceptionally beautiful even without makeup. She leaned against Chen Xiangdong in a coquettish manner, her full breasts already touching his body, and giggled, "Big brother, are you very busy? It's been so long since I've seen you!"
Actually, it hadn't even been a week since their last meeting, but Chen Xiangdong was delighted. He reached out and pulled Chen Chunyan to sit on his lap, saying, "Big brother, I've missed you too." Chen Chunyan had aroused his masculinity, and he was becoming increasingly bold.
"Me too," Chen Chunyan said, secretly showing Chen Xiangdong the hotel room key.
Chen Xiangdong understood immediately. He lightly patted Chen Chunyan's round bottom and said, "Sit down and eat first." After Chen Chunyan sat down, he said to Ye Peidong, "Peidong, that Aju from last time was quite nice, wasn't she? Why don't you invite her over to keep you company?"
Although Chen Chunyan was a little jealous, in order not to arouse Chen Xiangdong's suspicion about her relationship with Ye Peidong, she also said, "Yes, Boss Ye, she's a very young and beautiful girl. It would be a pity not to invite her."
Lin Heng laughed, "Boss Ye, do I need to help you anymore?"
Ye Peidong knew, of course, that Chen Xiangdong wanted him to invite Aju to cover for him. Knowing he couldn't refuse, he said, "Of course not." He then took out his newly bought cell phone and started making a pager.
"Wow, Boss Ye, you're using a cell phone now?" Chen Chunyan exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly. This was understandable; cell phones were still a new thing in Linhai. Installing one cost more than ten thousand yuan, and they weren't easy to buy.
Chen Xiangdong said, "What's the big deal? Boss Ye has plenty of money. Besides, having a cell phone makes communication easier, which makes business even better and reflects his boss-like demeanor."
Ye Peidong finished his pager and said modestly, "I won't mention the boss-like demeanor, but having a cell phone does make business easier. Secretary Lin's cell phone is even better than mine, and the mayor's is even better."
"Big brother, let me see yours!" Chen Chunyan said coquettishly.
Chen Xiangdong's cell phone was, of course, better than Ye Peidong's. Seeing Chen Chunyan's reaction, he took it out for her to see.
Chen Chunyan looked at it from left to right, then tried making a call before handing it back to Chen Xiangdong. Although she was very envious, she didn't dare to ask to buy one because it was too expensive. Even if she could afford it, she might not be able to afford to maintain it. Moreover, for a woman with a low income like her, owning a cell phone would arouse suspicion, which would be a loss. She could continue to associate with Chen Xiangdong and Ye Peidong; what wouldn't she have in the future? Why rush things? In this respect, Chen Chunyan was quite strategic, unlike other shallow girls who would take advantage of her.
After chatting for a while, Aju arrived. Since her encounter with Ye Peidong before the Spring Festival, Ye Peidong had contacted her twice more, and she had developed a liking for him. This was not only because Ye Peidong was generous, but also because he could give her real enjoyment. Women in this line of work are naturally greedy for money, but wouldn't it be better to have both money and enjoyment? So when she saw that it was Ye Peidong who had called her, she turned down everyone else and came here. She knew everyone here, so she greeted them politely before sitting down next to Ye Peidong.
"Come on, let's drink and chat." Seeing that all the dishes had been served and even Lin Heng's girlfriend had arrived, Ye Peidong called out. Because Chen Xiangdong was going to be with Chen Chunyan, Ye Peidong didn't invite anyone else.
"Come on, let's toast to our greater achievements this year." Chen Xiangdong also stood up in response, and the glasses of the three men and three women clinked together.
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively. Since everyone was so familiar with each other, they let their guard down and started flirting with the women around them, filling the private room with soft moans. Chen Xiangdong, in particular, completely abandoned any semblance of mayoral dignity. After a while, Lin Heng couldn't hold back any longer and went into the rest room with his girlfriend. Then came Chen Xiangdong, who asked Ye Peidong, "Peidong, you invited me to dinner today, is there something you need?"
Of all the people present, Ye Peidong was the most restrained. Although Aju beside him was also disheveled, he remained clear-headed. Seeing the unsightly behavior of Chen Xiangdong and Lin Heng, he felt a pang of disgust, but of course, he dared not show it. He had originally wanted to see Chen Xiangdong about something, but seeing his state, he thought he could approach him through Chen Chunyan, so he decided against discussing it here. Hearing Chen Xiangdong's question, he replied, "Nothing much, I just haven't seen you, Mayor, in a long time and wanted to get together. If you have something to do, you can go now." He knew, of course, what Chen Xiangdong really wanted.
Chen Xiangdong, of course, wanted to go to Wushan with Chen Chunyan as soon as possible. Seeing Ye Peidong's words, he said, "I still have some things to do. Since that's the case, you and Lin Heng can play here. Little sister, didn't you say you had something to do with me? Let's go together."
"Okay!" Chen Chunyan immediately agreed, giving Ye Peidong a flirtatious look behind Chen Xiangdong's back.
Ye Peidong, of course, didn't dare to reciprocate. He respectfully saw the two out before turning back to flirt with Aju. He had already been with Chen Chunyan today, so he didn't want to go with Aju again. But after Lin Heng came out, he still went into the rest room with her. Aju, of course, wouldn't let him go, so she had to exert herself again. Fortunately, he did a good job, still making Aju feel very comfortable, and she almost forgot to ask for money. After that, the four of them left.
On Monday, April 4, 1994,
Fang Zhenyu skillfully navigated the speedboat, weaving through the winding waterways between more than a dozen small islands. The speedboat sped across the calm water, creating waves that crashed against the island shores. Zhan Dajun clung tightly to Fang Zhenyu, feeling quite content, her body bobbing rhythmically with the speedboat. Although she was wearing a life jacket and their bodies were far apart, she still felt the pleasurable friction.
Soon, the speedboat stopped beside a small island. Fang Zhenyu jumped ashore, secured the speedboat, and then caught Zhan Dajun, who jumped down behind him. Zhan Dajun seized the opportunity to throw herself into his arms, and they cuddled for a while before separating.
Fang Zhenyu was used to this and didn't mind. After they parted, he began searching for a way to the highest point of the island. Scattered around the harbor basin of Linhai Port are fifteen small islands, each only thirty to forty acres in size. Each island is teeming with vegetation, and even the bare ones have their own unique charm, making them excellent tourist attractions. Therefore, Fang Zhenyu has been visiting these islands whenever he has free time, exploring potential development opportunities. Zhang Lei and Xu Tongfang often accompany Fang Zhenyu on these inspections, with Shi Xiaoyan, Xu Xiangjun, and Li Wei occasionally joining in. Zhan Dajun had wanted to come for a long time, but as the deputy general manager, she was primarily responsible for company affairs when Fang Zhenyu was away, making it difficult for her to come out. Today, however, the deputy general manager in charge of meeting receptions, Jia Jin, was present, so she took the time to come.
The two walked and talked, observing their surroundings. Although this wasn't the first time Zhan Dajun had spent time alone with Fang Zhenyu, she rarely experienced such seclusion, making her very excited and cherish the moment. She frequently asked questions and occasionally leaned into Fang Zhenyu's arms. “Zhenyu, after inspecting Island No. 15, the layout of the entire Linhai Port should be basically clear, right?”
“Yes, actually, they had already conducted the inspection. I was just a little worried, so I came to check it out. Now it seems like it was unnecessary,” Fang Zhenyu said.
Zhan Dajun disagreed, saying, “How is it unnecessary? They only have geological data, not our topographical maps, so it's difficult for them to make a good plan.”
The two stopped on a flat piece of land, which faced the wide harbor basin. The boundless sea was like a mirror, reflecting the blazing sun, shimmering with golden light. The scene was spectacular. Fang Zhenyu couldn't help but laugh, “I think buying it and building a villa here would be a great vacation spot, but it's a pity the cost is too high.”
“The cost is a bit high, but we can use a rental method. I think that as our port develops, there will be more opportunities for wealthy people to come here, so it should be possible to rent it out.” Inspired by Fang Zhenyu, Zhan Dajun further expanded his thinking.
“That’s a good idea,” Fang Zhenyu praised. He sat down on a rock under the shade of a tree and said, “Tell me your specific method.”
Zhan Dajun, seeing this, also sat down and leaned against Fang Zhenyu, saying, “I only thought of it after you mentioned it. I don’t have any specific ideas yet. I’ll make a plan when we get back. This place is really nice, shall we enjoy it?”
“Okay!” Fang Zhenyu didn’t push Zhan Dajun away, and instead nestled against her, pointing out the beautiful scenery around them.
Zhan Dajun really enjoyed this feeling, sometimes responding to Fang Zhenyu’s words, and sometimes listening quietly. Unfortunately, fate didn’t allow them to enjoy it for long. A dark cloud covered the entire sky, and the wind picked up, indicating that a heavy rain was imminent. Having been at the seaside for a long time, the two were used to such sudden changes and knew that the rain wouldn’t last long, but if they didn’t find a place to take shelter, they would be soaked to the bone. So they got up to look for a place.
Fang Zhenyu remembered a small house where the lighthouse keeper used to live, which they had just passed, so she pulled Zhan Dajun and ran over there. Before they even entered the house, the rain began to pour down. The house wasn't large, and it had been in disrepair for years. Only one corner, about ten feet square, wasn't leaking. When the two of them stood there and looked at themselves, their clothes were already quite soaked.
Zhan Dajun, catching his breath, said with some regret, "If we had known we were going to get wet anyway, we shouldn't have run. This is exhausting." The rain was hitting her from the front, and her chest was particularly wet. Her clothes clung to her body, making her breasts appear even more prominent, rising and falling with her breath, a truly beautiful sight.
Fang Zhenyu didn't notice any of this. Seeing that the ground was wet, he removed the broken door panel and placed it in a dry spot. He then invited Zhan Dajun to sit down, only to discover that she had taken off her shirt, revealing her upper body covered only by a bra. Feeling uneasy, he asked, "Dajun, what are you doing?"
Zhan Dajun showed no embarrassment. She put her shirt aside and said, "Wearing this makes me feel even more uncomfortable and colder."
Zhan Dajun was telling the truth; even Fang Zhenyu felt a chill from the wet clothes. He said nothing more and sat down beside her, but dared not look at her again.
Zhan Dajun had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and she wasn't about to let it slip away. She moved closer to Fang Zhenyu and said, "Zhenyu, hug me, I'm a little cold."
Fang Zhenyu had long sensed Zhan Dajun's feelings for him, but he dared not easily accept them, influenced by her achievements. Of course, Fang Zhenyu wasn't jealous of Zhan Dajun's achievements, but rather worried about her having some kind of affair with someone else. However, in the current situation, he couldn't be too discreet, so he pulled her into his arms.
Zhan Dajun was happy; she leaned tightly against Fang Zhenyu and said, "Zhenyu, I'm sorry you had to go through this ."
Fang Zhenyu asked curiously, "Why do you say I'm sorry?" Zhan Dajun said, "During the Spring Festival, I made you act like a fake son-in-law." "Oh," Fang Zhenyu understood. Before the Spring Festival, Zhan Dajun had asked him for a favor: to accompany her to visit her ailing mother. When Zhan Dajun introduced Fang Zhenyu to her mother, she said he was her husband, which made her mother very happy. Fang Zhenyu was initially furious, but when he saw that Zhan Dajun's mother was terminally ill, he forgot to blame Zhan Dajun and even covered for her. Not long after the Spring Festival, Zhan Dajun's mother passed away. Thinking that he was merely fulfilling the wish of a dying man, Fang Zhenyu didn't feel particularly wronged. He said, "It's nothing, what's there to feel wronged about? As long as Auntie is happy, anything is fine." Zhan Dajun, however, said, "But you haven't kept your promise." "What promise did I make?" Fang Zhenyu asked curiously. Zhan Dajun blushed slightly, resting her head on Fang Zhenyu's chest, her delicate hand on his thigh, and said, "You said you would take good care of me and make me happy." Fang Zhenyu understood what Zhan Dajun was thinking, but he still wanted to avoid her, so he said, "Am I not taking good enough care of you now?" Zhan Dajun said, "But I feel you can give me even more happiness." Her hand finally touched Fang Zhenyu's manhood. Although Fang Zhenyu wanted to avoid it, he couldn't resist the physical reaction; his manhood was already aroused. She gently stroked it. She said shyly, "I've invited him to my home so many times, but he never comes, making me drool all the time. Zhenyu, you don't want me to rape you, do you?" Zhan Dajun was telling the truth. Apart from that one time on Linglong Island with Shi Xiaoyan, she had touched Fang Zhenyu's manhood many times when no one was looking. Fang Zhenyu naturally understood what she wanted. All along, he had just pretended not to understand. Today, Zhan Dajun had already said it so bluntly, could he still pretend to be stupid? Of course not. His large hand went to Zhan Dajun's high, firm breasts, unhooked her bra, and gently caressed her elastic yet smooth breasts, saying, "Is this enough?"

This was the first time Fang Zhenyu had caressed himself. Leaving aside the actual sensations, the act itself was enough to please Zhan Dajun. She moaned comfortably, "That's more like it, but today I want to go all the way." She tilted her head back, awaiting Fang Zhenyu's kiss, while her delicate hand had already slipped inside his trousers, directly caressing his warm member.
How could Fang Zhenyu control himself? He took even more intense action. Zhan Dajun's soft moans suddenly grew louder, her face contorted in pain. She gripped Fang Zhenyu's hand tightly, guiding its movement, her words incoherent: "Yes, I'm yours, completely yours, take me."
Fang Zhenyu became even more aroused, a yearning to penetrate, cautiously exploring a thicket of thorns and overgrown vegetation. The entrance was well-hidden, but the water seeping from the cracks in the rocks gave it away. He began exploring a dark, lightless tunnel, initially cautious but soon becoming bolder, darting across the slippery ground.
Zhan Dajun lost consciousness, lost all judgment. She felt herself melting into a stream, rolling into a river, and finally plunging into the roaring sea. Huge waves crashed over her again and again, pushing her to the troughs. She tried to struggle to the surface, but couldn't. She was powerless, reaching out her hands, trying to grab onto something. Finally, she grasped a rock, holding on tightly, refusing to let go. There was no pain or fear, only a feeling of joy. She wanted to float in this ocean of joy forever. She half-opened her eyes and saw his blurry face and body flickering before her, disappearing and reappearing, over and over again. Suddenly, the tide came in, and the unexpected surge left her defenseless. She twisted her body, shouting ecstatically, "Oh, oh, this is it! It's so good! Don't stop!"
Fang Zhenyu's body moved, slowly and rhythmically, a hypnotic pleasure flowing through his entire body, as if he had entered a realm of soaring clouds, his soul leaving his body. His eyes were closed, and his mind was filled with the image of those two peaks and those two bright red cherries. Ah, enter paradise! Slowly, his breathing quickened, the veins in his temples began to throb, his blood boiled, and that ethereal state gradually disappeared, followed by an uncontrollable urge to ejaculate, muscle tension, and a tremor throughout his body. He felt himself being lifted into the air by a powerful force, making him dizzy. Just then, her shout startled him awake!
Both of them were flushed, panting, their wet, sweat-soaked hair clinging to her face. "I know what rebirth feels like now," she murmured.
Fang Zhenyu dismounted, his large hand still gently caressing Zhan Dajun's breasts, which appeared even more prominent due to the satisfaction of her desire. His fingers entwined around the firm, bright red nipples. He saw the bloodstains on the ground and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, saying, "Dajun, I'm sorry."
Zhan Dajun groaned comfortably, hugging him tightly and saying, "Why do you say that? I think it's very good. I'm very happy."
"I didn't expect it to be your first time."
"Isn't the first time better? Or do you think, like everyone else, that I'm the kind of person who makes money off my body?" Zhan Dajun was a little unhappy, and she tried hard to push Fang Zhenyu away.
Fang Zhenyu wouldn't let her push him away, pulling her even tighter and kissing her delicate face as he said, "Neither. It's just that if I had known it was your first time, I would have been gentler, so that no one would say I didn't know how to cherish a woman, that I had loved the wrong person, and that I had given such a precious thing to
you." "How could that be?" Zhan Dajun returned the kiss to her beloved man, her jade-like hands caressing his now limp, slippery treasure, the one that had just made her feel like she was ascending to heaven. She said affectionately, "The more vigorous you are, the deeper I feel your love for me. Sister Xiang said that the bigger and longer this treasure is, the more pleasure it brings us. At first, I didn't quite believe it, and I was a little scared, but now I finally understand. Zhenyu, I hope you can always love me like this, and I will always be yours."
"I will." Fang Zhenyu was deeply moved, whispering sweet nothings to Zhan Dajun, his hands and mouth never stopping. Before long, not only did Zhan Dajun's desire surge again, but his little brother also woke up, leading to another rapid and passionate encounter. Of course, Zhan Dajun's soul once again soared to the heavens.
It took Zhan Dajun a while to regain his senses. Although his heart was filled with happiness, his whole body was exhausted, as if he had collapsed. Fang Zhenyu saw that the rain had stopped outside and it was getting late, so he tidied her up before helping her put on her clothes: "Dajun, we should go back."
"Mm." At this moment, Zhan Dajun was somewhat shy, but the happiness on her face was undeniable.
Sunday, April 10, 1994, Fang Family Building.
"Qianmei, are you really leaving?" Fang Zhenyu asked the girl in front of him, a hint of pity on his face.
This young woman was Wu Qian, the daughter of Wang Peiying's sister. She was only in her early twenties, but looked like she was already thirty. Not only did she look older, but her skin was also very dark, though not unattractive. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, but pitifully thin, probably weighing less than 100 pounds. However, her breasts were quite full, and because of her thinness, the two peaks appeared even more prominent. Hearing Fang Zhenyu's words, she said somewhat helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, no one's home. I really wanted to chat with everyone all night."
They were in Fang Zhenyu's study. Ning Yufang came in from her room and overheard Wu Qian's words, saying, "Since you're leaving, you should leave early, so you don't miss the bus after dark."
"It's no trouble at all, I'll just ask Zhang Lei to take her. It's not far anyway," Fang Zhenyu said.
"No need to trouble yourself." Wu Qian looked at the elegant study with some reluctance, truly unwilling to leave, but the house really couldn't do without her, so she picked up her things and went out.
Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yufang followed behind, arriving downstairs together. Wang Peiying was in the living room with Xiao Jian and Xiao Ning. Seeing them come down, she said, "Qian, it's almost time to eat. Why are you leaving?"
"Second Aunt, I can't stay. There's still so much to do at home." Wu Qian was very grateful for the family's concern, but she couldn't stay.
Wang Peiying said somewhat angrily, "This isn't your own home. Why can't you even come out for a bit?" She was seething with anger towards Wu Qian's father and brother, but they weren't around to vent it.
Seeing Wu Qian's embarrassment, Fang Zhenyu quickly said, "Mom, stop talking. It'll get dark soon." Then, he had Zhang Lei drive Wu Qian home. Wu Qian wanted to refuse, but couldn't.
Just after seeing Wu Qian off, Ning Yuwei and her coach Long Jie returned. Tomorrow, Ning Yuwei was leaving for a competition, and Wang Peiying wanted to host a farewell banquet for her daughter, so Ning Yuwei invited Long Jie as well. Long Jie had wanted to see Fang Zhenyu for a while, but never had an excuse. Now that she had this opportunity, she certainly wouldn't let it pass. At this time, Long Jie was over six months pregnant, and her movements were becoming somewhat inconvenient, but she still insisted on training Ning Yuwei. Only she and Ning Yuwei truly understood each other; this was not only because they were close friends, but also because they shared a lover—Fang Zhenyu.
Upon hearing that she was Ning Yuwei's coach, Wang Peiying became even more enthusiastic. Seeing Long Jie's labored state while pregnant, she helped her to sit on the sofa and said gratefully, "Teacher Long, you've really worked hard."
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. Besides, I only talk a little," Long Jie replied. Seeing Fang Zhenyu seemed to dispel all the hardships she had endured.
Fang Zhenyu looked at the woman who was pregnant with his child and felt an indescribable love in his heart. He was about to go up and talk to her when Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng returned. He could say those things in front of Ning Yufen and Ning Yufang, and even Wang Peiying would be fine, but how could he say them in front of Zhong Yuguang? He could only give Long Jie a concerned look before going over to talk to Zhong Yuguang.
Long Jie knew it wasn't convenient to speak at this moment, so she only spoke to Wang Peiying. Zhong Yuguang also saw Long Jie. Participating in a national competition was a big deal in Linhai, and as the municipal party secretary, he naturally knew about it. Therefore, he said to Long Jie, "Coach Long, this time in Qingdao, it's all up to you. Try your best to bring back a championship for Linhai." This tennis open was being held in Qingdao.
"Thank you for your concern, Secretary," Long Jie replied.
Zhong Yuguang laughed, "What's there for me to care about? I'm just saying it. The one who truly cares is Fourth Sister's second brother-in-law."
Ning Yuwei sat down next to him, looking at him seriously, and said, "Our achievements are the result of the correct leadership of our Linhai Municipal Party Committee." After saying that, she couldn't help but giggle.
Ning Yuzhi chimed in, adding, "Of course, it also owes a debt of gratitude to the higher-level sports commission, government, people's congress, CPPCC, and various departments."
Seeing these playful beauties, even the usually serious Zhong Yuguang couldn't help but laugh, though his laughter was strained. Such a large city, unable to support a small tennis team and relying on private sponsorship to participate in competitions, was undeniably a sign of government incompetence.
Long Jie, understanding the difficult circumstances faced by the municipal party committee and government, and knowing they had done their best to help, stopped the Ning sisters' teasing, saying, "Actually, you can't blame the government. They've done what they should. Xiaowei, you should focus on the competition and strive for good results to repay those who have supported you so much!"
"Yes, Coach!" Ning Yuwei declared resolutely.
Soon, the meal was ready, and everyone chatted and laughed again, the atmosphere very harmonious. After dinner, Zhong Yuguang left early, while Ning Yuwei invited her coach to visit her room. Fang Zhenyu naturally understood what was going on, so he made an excuse to go upstairs as well. Ning Yuheng also wanted to go up, but considering her status, she could only help her mother tidy up downstairs.
Fang Zhenyu went up to his sixth floor before heading to Ning Yuwei's third floor. He had learned from Wang Peiying's advice and was afraid that people would know he was going to see Yuwei from the elevator. Sure enough, Long Jie was waiting for him at Yuwei's place. Upon seeing him, she immediately threw herself into his arms and said affectionately, "Zhenyu, I missed you so much."
Fang Zhenyu hugged her tightly, gave her a long kiss, and then said, "I missed you too!"
Long Jie knew that Fang Zhenyu couldn't possibly have much time to think about her, but hearing him say that made her very happy. She guided his large hand to her swollen belly and said, "He missed you too. I feel that he is a man just like you. He's very restless inside now."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Fang Zhenyu said with some guilt, gently stroking her swollen belly. Because of the opportune timing of Long Jie's pregnancy, the leaders all assumed it was her husband's orphan, resulting in overwhelmingly positive public opinion. Many people encouraged her to have the baby. However, the hardships faced by a single woman carrying such a large belly while training athletes were unimaginable.
Long Jie nestled in Fang Zhenyu's arms, tilting her face up with a happy smile, and said, "It's a little tough, but thinking about the child of such an outstanding man like you makes me so happy."
These touching words excited Fang Zhenyu, and his hands and mouth began to move. Soon, Long Jie's desire was aroused, but when Fang Zhenyu asked to go further, Long Jie refused: "Zhenyu, don't do this, it will affect our child. Let me give birth to our child first, then I'll receive your love!" Although she said this, she lowered her head and kissed Fang Zhenyu's erect penis.
Fang Zhenyu let out a comfortable groan. He knew that Long Jie was no longer in a position for intimate relations; forcing it would only make her more uncomfortable. Therefore, after letting Long Jie kiss his penis, he lifted her head and kissed her lips again, saying, "Since that's the case, you should go back now. After our baby is born, I'll take good care of you."
"Okay," Long Jie obediently got up. She said to Ning Yuwei, "Yuwei, enjoy yourself. Draw strength from this and use it in the competition. Remember what I said. Zhenyu won't be able to cheer you on like last time. Remember, he'll always be by your side."
"Sister Jie, I understand." Ning Yuwei straightened Long Jie's clothes and then saw her out. Although Long Jie wanted to refuse Ning Yuwei's offer, Ning Yuwei wouldn't allow it, and Fang Zhenyu also said it wouldn't be right, so she had no choice but to give in.
Ning Yuwei and Long Jie had just left when Ning Yuzhi arrived, smiling, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you keep Teacher Long here?" It turned out she had also noticed the relationship between Fang Zhenyu and Long Jie.
Fang Zhenyu shook his head with a wry smile, explained the reason, and said, "Let's go up to the sixth floor." He knew Ning Yuzhi didn't have to work tonight, and Ning Yuheng was also there; it would be difficult to avoid this "Five Phoenixes
Facing the Sun" affair, he just didn't know if he had the ability. Sure enough, as soon as he returned to his room, Ning Yuheng arrived, followed by Ning Yuwei. Fang Zhenyu knew Ning Yuheng didn't have much time, so he started with her, then moved on to Ning Yuwei, whom he had to satisfy, until after 3 a.m., finally managing to satisfy all five of the Ning family's golden flowers.
"Zhenyu, you're amazing!" As Fang Zhenyu's still-plenty of ammunition entered Ning Yufen's flower room, she couldn't help but hug him tightly and praise him. She had thought she wouldn't get any tonight; as the eldest sister, she had let her younger sisters go first. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhenyu still brought her immense joy.
Fang Zhenyu was too weak to speak to her at this point, only breathing heavily, but his face was filled with pride. Ning Yuheng had already gone home, and the remaining four women gently massaged him, helping him to sleep soundly. Looking at the sleeping Fang Zhenyu, the four women were filled with happiness. To have such a great man, their lives hadn't been in vain.
On Wednesday, April 13, 1994, in the Workers' New Village,
Yue Shan watched her father and Uncle Zhu carry dishes of food to the table. It was almost six o'clock. A little anxiously, Yue Shan asked her mother, "Mom, do you think my godfather and godmother are coming?"
Zhang Bei affectionately stroked Yue Shan's head and said, "Don't worry, your godfather always keeps his promises."
"But it's almost six o'clock," Yue Shan said, still a little worried. Today was her birthday, and she hadn't seen Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yufang for a long time. She missed them dearly, so she called Fang Zhenyu and invited them to dinner. Although she was young, she knew Fang Zhenyu was very busy and might not be able to come; she was just trying her luck. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhenyu agreed.
Hearing that Fang Zhenyu and his wife were coming for dinner, Yue Shaoxiong and his wife were very happy, especially Yue Shaoxiong. He had finally become the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and had been wanting to invite Fang Zhenyu to dinner for a long time, but Fang Zhenyu was always too busy. Now that he was coming, how could they not warmly welcome him? He originally wanted to go out, but Zhang Bei said it would be more intimate to have the dinner at home, and they also had to take care of Yue Shan's friends, so they decided to have the dinner at home and invited Li Fanghua and his wife as well. Li Fanghua laughed and said, "Shanshan, seeing how you are, I feel like you're not even in the mood to celebrate your birthday without your godparents."
Zhang Bei comforted her daughter, saying, "Your godfather is so busy with work, and he might be rushing back from the port, so it's not surprising that he's a little late. Let's wait a bit, and if he doesn't come, we'll call him again."
"Okay," Yue Shan replied. Just then, the doorbell rang. She hurried to open the door, calling out, "Godfather, Godmother!" But when she opened the door, it wasn't Fang Zhenyu and his wife, but Yan Ruyu, who lived next door.
Yan Ruyu was invited by Zhang Bei. Seeing Yue Shan's disappointed look, she couldn't help but laugh and say, "Shan Shan, are you not welcoming Sister Ruyu?"
"Sister Ruyu! Please come in!" Yue Shan felt embarrassed and quickly invited her in, pouring tea for Yan Ruyu attentively before saying, "I thought it was my godfather and godmother who had arrived."
Yan Ruyu sipped her tea and smiled, "Do you miss your godfather and godmother that much?"
Yue Shan looked longingly at her and said, "Of course! My godfather is so capable, don't my dad and mom admire him a lot? Of course I admire him too. I'm so happy he could come to my birthday party."
"This child," Zhang Bei said, at her wits' end with her daughter.
At this moment, Yue Shaoxiong had already brought out the last dish. This time, even he became suspicious and asked, "Shanshan, what did President Fang say to you?"
Before Yue Shan could answer, the doorbell rang again. Yue Shan hurriedly went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yufang. As soon as Yue Shan saw them, she immediately threw herself into Fang Zhenyu's arms and cried out, "Godfather, Godmother, I've missed you so much!" She kissed Fang Zhenyu on the face, and after a while, she hugged Ning Yufang's neck and kissed her face, almost pulling Xiao Ning, who was in Ning Yufang's arms, off.
"Sister Shanshan, I want a kiss too!" Xiao Jian, who was following behind Ning Yufang, called out.
"Okay." Yue Shan only then noticed Xiao Jian. She responded and kissed him on the cheek before everyone went inside.
Yue Shaoxiong and Zhang Bei were very happy to see Fang Zhenyu and his wife arrive, especially Yue Shaoxiong. He excitedly shook Fang Zhenyu's hand and said, "President Fang, thank you for coming!"
Fang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Chairman Yue, there's no need to be so polite. After all, I'm Shanshan's godfather. Why thank me for coming to my goddaughter's birthday?"
Zhang Bei said, "Stop gossiping. The food is all served. It'll get cold if we don't eat soon." As she spoke, she pulled out chairs for Fang Zhenyu and the others to sit down.
A child's birthday is really just an excuse for adults to drink, so after toasting the birthday boy, it was mostly the adults who did the talking, and they mostly talked about the printing factory. Yue Shan was unusually quiet, her eyes constantly fixed on Fang Zhenyu, only occasionally responding to Xiao Jian. Yan Ruyu and Zhang Bei had a good relationship, but as usual, she remained silent unless necessary, watching them from the side. Of course, her eyes, like Yue Shan's, lingered on Fang Zhenyu's face for more time than on any of the other people's faces combined.
Yue Shaoxiong was a heavy drinker. He toasted Fang Zhenyu cup after cup, expressing his gratitude repeatedly. Finally, somehow the conversation turned to Yan Ruyu. He said, "Ruyu, your collaboration with President Fang is a bombshell in the printing industry of Linhai City. It's infuriating those old guys."
Yan Ruyu was taken aback by Yue Shaoxiong's mention of her and hesitated before replying, "They brought it on themselves."
Yue Shaoxiong smiled wryly, "But this move by your Dongfang Group has given our Chamber of Commerce a major headache. Owners of various printing factories have come knocking, complaining about your unfair competition. The president and I don't know what to do, and President Fang, the vice president, never shows up."
"Shaoxiong, what are you saying?" Zhang Bei quickly stopped him. She could tell her husband had reservations about Fang Zhenyu in this regard; she'd noticed it before, but she hadn't expected him to vent it in this setting.
How could Fang Zhenyu not understand? He said, "Sister Bei, let Chairman Yue continue. I'm also very interested to know what their opinions are. It's a rare opportunity."
Yue Shaoxiong, emboldened by the alcohol, began to speak. Zhang Bei, seeing that Fang Zhenyu was truly listening attentively, knew that this boss's methods of handling matters were different from others, so she didn't interrupt her husband. Yue Shaoxiong was only discussing the facts and hadn't touched on any personal matters. Most of what Yue Shaoxiong said concerned what that Factory Director Jin had told Tan Chunmei, things Tan Chunmei hadn't told Fang Zhenyu, so he listened with great interest. Finally, he said, somewhat agitated, "President Fang, they keep going to the Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble. I really don't know what to do!"
Fang Zhenyu sighed. It seemed that Yue Shaoxiong was indeed not the kind of person to handle big things. He was about to speak when Yue Shan said, "Dad, what's so difficult about this? If you think Godfather is right, just refute them. If Godfather is wrong, he's right in front of you. Just say it clearly, right?"
"I also think your Godfather is not wrong, but..."
"There are no buts. Daughter is right. We should resolutely stand up to those who only want to make money through crooked means." Zhang Bei was angry because her husband was even less capable than her daughter.
Seeing this, Fang Zhenyu quickly said, "President Yue has his difficulties, but this monopoly is inevitable. You can just push the blame onto me; after all, I'm only a part-time vice president."
Yue Shaoxiong also realized he had been too impulsive and said awkwardly, "Actually, I wanted to ask if your actions have really harmed them, but I didn't expect to get sidetracked."
"Whether they've been harmed or not, I know best," Yan Ruyu interjected. She used her family's factory as an example to explain the benefits of establishing an association, and finally said, "Our printing industry in Linhai City is currently facing external pressure. If we don't organize ourselves, the market will likely be quickly taken over by printing companies from other places. So, President Yue, you'd better support our actions. If they say anything more, just take me as an example." Yue
Shaoxiong stared at Yan Ruyu for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid they'll gossip?"
"Afraid of what? If you haven't done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night," Yan Ruyu said, her tone firm, but her face turned red.
"What are you gossiping about?" Fang Zhenyu asked, puzzled.
"Nothing," Zhang Bei replied, clearly not wanting Fang Zhenyu to know, and then called Yue Shan to cut the cake.
Ning Yufang hadn't said anything, but she seemed to know something, so when Zhang Bei spoke, she added, "Yes, after cutting the cake, we should go back. Xiao Jian and Xiao Ning are both sleepy." The topic then shifted back to Yue Shan's birthday, and everyone was naturally delighted.

(Volume Four) Chapter Six: The Champion's Lover

Chapter Six: The Champion's Lover
Monday, April 18, 1994
Fang Zhenyu arrived at the port development zone early in the morning from the city. Zhan Dajun had just woken up. Seeing her naked state, he knew what she had been doing the night before. He walked over and gently stroked her high, jade-like breasts, laughing, "Couldn't resist again?"
Zhan Dajun let out a comfortable groan. After enjoying Fang Zhenyu's caress, she got up to get dressed, saying, "How could I not think about something so wonderful? Besides, I don't get it often." Since being captured by Fang Zhenyu on that deserted island, she, like Xu Xiangjun and others, had devoted herself entirely to Fang Zhenyu.
Fang Zhenyu wasn't unwilling to satisfy them; with his abilities, he could easily have done so. However, in this kind of place, maintaining secrecy was difficult, which was why he couldn't let them fully enjoy themselves. He said, "Once our office building is completed, we won't have to endure it anymore."
Zhan Dajun understood, so she didn't complain to Fang Zhenyu. She dressed and, as she walked out, asked, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to get you some?"
"Of course! Having breakfast with my lover is a kind of enjoyment!" Fang Zhenyu smiled, hugged her, and kissed her again before letting her leave.
Zhan Dajun felt sweet inside and scolded, "You're just all talk, you have no substance." With that, she left. Although she had stayed in Fang Zhenyu's room when he left the port, her personal belongings were still kept in the place she shared with Shi Xiaoyan. Fang Zhenyu
tidied up the house. Actually, Zhan Dajun had made it very clean, so there wasn't much to tidy up. In a short while, Zhan Dajun brought breakfast. Shi Xiaoyan and Li Wei were also with him, and the four of them ate breakfast together. While eating, Fang Zhenyu said, "Xiaoyan, could you help me take a look at the schedule for this year's National Women's Tennis Open and give me a copy?"
"Yes," Shi Xiaoyan replied first, then asked, "President Fang, when did you become so interested in sports?"
Li Wei, who knew Fang Zhenyu and the Ning sisters well, smiled and said, "President Fang wouldn't care about sports. He only cares about tennis players."
Zhan Dajun and Shi Xiaoyan knew that Ning Yuwei was a tennis player, and they understood after hearing Li Wei's words. Zhan Dajun laughed and said, "President Fang, how about we buy a TV with a bigger screen?"
Fang Zhenyu really couldn't do anything about them, and said with a wry smile, "If you have money, just buy one for me!" Then, he said seriously, "Have you prepared the materials for President Tu?"
President Tu was Tu Wancheng, the Taiwanese boss introduced by Shangguan Hao. He had finally decided to invest in Linhai and was here today to negotiate with Fang Zhenyu and the others. No one in the head office dared to take the task assigned by Fang Zhenyu lightly. This matter was handled by Shi Xiaoyan, who said, "It's ready. Shall I give it to you now?"
Fang Zhenyu replied, "No need, you can give it to General Manager Tu later." Fang Zhenyu knew everything about his port development zone; why would he need any materials?
"Okay."
"What about the qualification investigation of that American company? Has there been a result?"
"Not yet. They said it would take at least three days to give us a reply." This time, it was Zhan Dajun who answered. Since the falling out with the Japanese, thanks to Fang Zhenyu and others' good handling of the media, no adverse consequences had occurred. Many large foreign companies wanted to cooperate with them, but their selection was very strict. This American company was just one of their targets.
"Tell them it's okay to be a little slow, the important thing is that the situation is true."
"Understood."
Seeing that Fang Zhenyu had brought up work, the three women stopped chatting and laughing, finished breakfast, and left, leaving Fang Zhenyu to think things through. They knew their beloved carried a heavy burden and couldn't afford the slightest negligence. Sure enough, when Shi Xiaoyan returned to make tea for Fang Zhenyu, he was already deep in thought. After making the tea, she quietly went out and instructed her subordinates not to disturb him unless he called for them and President Tu hadn't arrived.
Actually, it was because they were overly concerned about Fang Zhenyu. While Fang Zhenyu was thinking about his relationship with Tu Wancheng, that was already a done deal and he didn't need to think about it anymore. He was only thinking about how to build his office building as soon as possible. Judging from the current situation, many large companies were very interested in the port development near Linhai, but the environment here was too poor. Now, the biggest problem—transportation—would soon be solved, so office space became the biggest issue. If the office building could be built well, he believed that many companies would soon invest.
He pondered for about half an hour when he heard the sound of a car outside. He knew it was Tu Wancheng and his group, as there were very few cars in the area. He opened his eyes, stood up, and went out to greet them. Sure enough, it was Tu Wancheng, along with Yang Mingji, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee who had brought him. Yang Mingji had now completely sided with Zhong Yuguang, so Zhong Yuguang often had him represent him.
"President Fang, I've brought the guests. The rest is up to you," Yang Mingji said, shaking Fang Zhenyu's hand tightly as soon as he saw him.
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "What do you mean, 'seeing my abilities'? President Tu is looking at the sincerity of the people of Linhai, President Tu, don't you agree?" After releasing Yang Mingji's hand, he went over and firmly grasped Tu Wancheng's hand.
Tu Wancheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "President Fang, you're not only very capable in business, but you're also quite good at public speaking." These words made everyone laugh.
After a few pleasantries, Fang Zhenyu ushered them into the conference room. Tea was served, and once everyone was seated, Fang Zhenyu said, "President Tu, my suggestion is to keep it simple. Xiaoyan just gave you the document you revised last time. I think if there are no problems, we can sign it here. There's no need for any ceremony. The key is how we can do our work well in the future. What do you think?"
"Great, that's what I meant too." Tu Wancheng was very pleased. Socializing was optional for him, especially with mainland officials. He had come to the conclusion from his friends that while getting to know those mainland officials could bring many benefits, the expenses were also unspeakable, as if all mainland officials were corrupt.
With everyone in agreement, things became easier. The two of them simply signed their names in the conference room without any ceremony, thus completing their task. Fang Zhenyu gripped Tu Wancheng's hand tightly and said sincerely, "President Tu, I hope our cooperation will be successful."
Tu Wancheng smiled and said, "How could it not be successful? Unless you, President Fang, step down as the head of this port development, or the policies on the mainland change."
Although Fang Zhenyu felt that he had done a good job in port development, he still had some concerns. After all, port development was not a private business. Both the chairman and the general manager were appointed by the government. It was fine as long as Zhong Yuguang was around, but if he was promoted, it was hard to say whether the new one would be so easy to talk to. Of course, Fang Zhenyu wouldn't reveal his true feelings, and he also had to uphold the mainland's policies. He smiled and said, "The motherland's policies won't change, but my abilities are limited. Our company is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid I won't be suitable to be the general manager anymore."
Tu Wancheng frowned and asked, "Zhenyu, tell me the truth, is someone trying to force you to step down? If so, you have to tell me. Honestly, I invested here because of you. If it weren't for you, given the current investment environment in Linhai, I really wouldn't have made the decision to invest here."
Fang Zhenyu said seriously, "Uncle Tu, don't worry. If that were true, I would tell you immediately. But I think that's impossible." He had no choice but to say this, though he was somewhat confident. At least for now, he had done a very good job in port development, and to put it bluntly, no one could replace him at the moment.
Tu Wancheng said, "It has nothing to do with Linhai. This is just a personal matter between us. If the port development isn't led by you, I'll consider giving up."
"Thank you for your trust," Fang Zhenyu said gratefully, shaking Tu Wancheng's hand.
"It's alright, let's go see the construction site," Tu Wancheng said.
"Okay," Fang Zhenyu said, leading the way out.
Yang Mingji watched the whole scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions. It seemed that attracting investment wasn't just about publicity; it also required the personal charisma of the person attracting the investment. Without Fang Zhenyu's appeal, Tu Wancheng's funds would have been hard-won. He couldn't help but feel even more grateful that he hadn't become chairman. Seeing their confident backs, his trust in Zhong Yuguang strengthened, and he resolved to follow them to the end.
Tu Wancheng's investment was mainly for building the office building Fang Zhenyu envisioned. The address was nearby, so everyone didn't need to get in the car; they could see the whole thing as soon as they stepped out the door. A group of people stood on a small hill opposite the construction site, gazing at the plot of land for a long time. Everyone was impressed by Fang Zhenyu's discerning eye, especially Tu Wancheng, who exclaimed, "Mr. Fang, you have such a keen eye! This is the best feng shui location in the entire Linhai Port. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about this; no wonder you've made your fortune!"
Seeing Tu Wancheng attribute this to feng shui, Fang Zhenyu chuckled inwardly. What did he know about feng shui? He chose this land simply because of its convenient location and pleasant environment, not because of its good feng shui. He was completely ignorant about it. Of course, he wouldn't explain, but instead said, "Uncle Tu, if you also agree to choose this location, then we'll settle on it. You can decide the start date."
Tu Wancheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, but it's agreed that I'll choose the date, but you need to give your opinion afterward." It seemed he was certain Fang Zhenyu understood superstitious matters.
"Of course, but how could the day you, President Tu, choose be bad?" Fang Zhenyu flattered.
Tu Wancheng smiled with a touch of pride. The group toured the selected site and arrived at the construction site of the port access highway. Looking at the bustling construction scene, Tu Wancheng couldn't help but exclaim, "The mainland workers are really hardworking. Soon, this port access highway will be completed."
Fang Zhenyu also had great respect for the construction of the port access highway. In such a short time, the workers had overcome numerous difficulties and built a first-class highway of more than 20 kilometers. In a few more days, the highway would be completed and put into use. He was about to say something when Yang Mingji spoke up, "Yes, our city has put in a lot of effort from top to bottom to build the port. These workers haven't even received their full wages yet. But knowing that this highway was built with funds raised by the entire city, they not only have no complaints, but they work even harder."
"They are truly great." Tu Wancheng, who usually didn't think much of the workers, couldn't help but praise them.
Yang Mingji continued, "This is certainly related to the encouragement from our General Manager Fang. Almost every time he goes out, he stops to chat with the workers, understand their difficulties, and even work alongside them."
Tu Wancheng looked at Fang Zhenyu, his face full of admiration, and muttered to himself, "No wonder he's so beloved by the workers."
Fang Zhenyu smiled wryly, "Can you please stop making me sound so great? If you keep going, I'll feel embarrassed. Actually, every leader wants to achieve results, but where do results come from? Of course, from the people who work for you. So you must fully mobilize their enthusiasm to do a good job. Otherwise, how can you do a good job if you're all alone? It's just that everyone has different methods of mobilizing the masses." Then, he sighed and said, "I had no choice. We're poor, we don't have money, so we can only rely on spiritual encouragement."
"That's the most important thing. Money is important, but sometimes having money doesn't necessarily get people to work hard for you." Tu Wancheng thought of the companies in Taiwan, feeling deeply moved.
Just then, a team of surveyors walked past them, all greeting Fang Zhenyu warmly. Yang Mingji asked, "Mr. Fang, what are they surveying for?"
"They're working on the port railway."
"Oh, the cooperation with Singapore must be almost finalized, right?" Yang Mingji asked.
"Yes, once the railway is completed, our environment will be even better."
Listening to their conversation, Tu Wancheng became even more confident about investing in the port. He took Fang Zhenyu's hand and said, "Mr. Fang, show me around. If there are any projects that interest me, I'd like to participate."
"Great, let's go." So the group walked forward like children, laughing and joking.
On Friday, April 22, 1994, in Qingdao,
Ning Yuwei was doing warm-up exercises in the rest room. Long Jie, heavily pregnant, watched from the side, nodding occasionally. When Ning Yuwei finished, she walked up to her without breaking a sweat, handed her a towel, and said, "Hmm, not bad. I think you can definitely win the championship."
Ning Yuwei wiped her sweat and said confidently, "Of course, otherwise how could I face my brother-in-law?"
Long Jie laughed, "A lover is a lover, what brother-in-law?"
"Your lover is yours, mine is my brother-in-law," Ning Yuwei retorted.
"Alright, I don't care. What did you and your brother-in-law talk about before you came out? You talked for so long, I'm starting to get a little jealous," Long Jie said. Just now at the hotel, Long Jie was arranging the competition when Fang Zhenyu called. Ning Yuwei answered, and even kicked her roommate out. They talked for almost half an hour. Although she could listen in every time Fang Zhenyu called every night, she felt a little uncomfortable not being able to hear it this time.
"I'm not telling you," Ning Yuwei said coquettishly.
Long Jie suddenly pulled Ning Yuwei into her arms, gently stroking her full breasts, and said, "Were you telling him those exciting things?"
Ning Yuwei couldn't help but blush. Of course, she had said those things to Fang Zhenyu on the phone; what else could it be? She remembered saying things like opening her legs wide to let her beloved brother-in-law penetrate her, how his hot little brother had already entered her flower core, and how her whole body was going limp. In short, she said everything she had said in the bedroom, and even let out a comfortable moan. Of course, the moan was real, because just saying it made Ning Yuwei feel extremely comfortable. But how could she tell Long Jie these things? Even if
Ning Yuwei didn't say it, Long Jie could guess what Fang Zhenyu had said to her. She laughed and said, "Don't let him make you go limp, or you won't be able to compete tonight."
"How could that be? It's true that he said I went limp at the time, but that power accumulated in my heart. Look how good my mental state is now!" Ning Yuwei jumped up and made a smashing motion, which was indeed both agile and full of power, showing unprecedented strength.
Seeing that no one was in the room, Long Jie couldn't help but laugh, "I never imagined that a man's penis could support a national champion." She was right. It wasn't just the financial support during training; from a team of fifty or sixty people from all over the country to the round of 16, then the quarterfinals, and now the finals, Fang Zhenyu's support was indispensable in every match. Of course, this support was spiritual, because after each match, Fang Zhenyu would call Ning Yuwei and Long Jie from home, the port, or the printing factory, mostly offering words of encouragement, but sometimes pointing out shortcomings in the matches. Clearly, Fang Zhenyu watched every game, because whenever the topic of the match came up, he could cite examples from previous matches, which further motivated the two to strive harder. Otherwise, how could they live up to their lover's concern?
Ning Yuwei naturally agreed with Long Jie's statement. She stroked Long Jie's swollen belly and said, "He not only won one championship, but he will also win another, and a champion's coach and mother. Let's train our lover's children together."
"I think we should do that, but right now our priority is to win this championship. Let's work hard for someone else's champion lover." Long Jie took Ning Yuwei's hand and led her out of the rest room to their teammates.
The match started quickly. Ning Yuwei walked confidently towards the arena. Long Jie gave her a victory sign, and she returned a resolute gesture. A teammate asked, "Coach, do you think Yuwei can win the championship?"
Long Jie said confidently, "Of course." She didn't know why she could say such confident words. She seemed to feel Fang Zhenyu watching her, even feeling his large hand stroking her, but her mind was always on Ning Yuwei on the arena, rising and falling with her movements.
One game, won; another game, won; and another game—the championship was Ning Yuwei's. But then, she lost an unjust game—the referee had made a mistake. Ning Yuwei's emotions fluctuated, and Long Jie quickly had her pause, offering words of encouragement before letting her return to the court.
"Coach, why did you mention Boss Fang?" The other team members were puzzled when they heard Long Jie use Fang Zhenyu to encourage Ning Yuwei.
"Watch the game closely. See? Isn't Yuwei back to normal? I'll explain why later." Long Jie focused all her attention on the court.
The other team members looked up and indeed saw that Ning Yuwei's spirits had greatly improved, making them even more confused by Long Jie's words.
Finally, Ning Yuwei won the fourth game, becoming the national champion. The Linhai team members jumped for joy; if Long Jie hadn't been six months pregnant, she probably would have tossed them into the air. Even so, they rushed forward, lifted Ning Yuwei up, and carried her back to their team.
"Teacher, I did it!" Ning Yuwei threw herself into Long Jie's arms, bursting into tears of joy.
"Yes, we did it!" Long Jie also shed tears. Becoming a national or world champion was her lifelong dream, but it was no longer possible for her. Now, Ning Yuwei was helping her achieve it, and she was filled with boundless excitement, not only because Ning Yuwei was her student, but also because they shared a deep and devoted relationship with Fang Zhenyu.
The whole team was also excited, circling around the two of them until they were called to the awards ceremony, at which point they finally came to their senses. Long Jie suppressed her excitement, escorted Ning Yuwei to the podium, and waited patiently on the sidelines despite her fatigue, before returning to the team together. Ignoring all the reporters, the two of them left their team leader to talk to the press, while they rushed back to the hotel to tell their sweethearts the good news as soon as possible. Although they knew their sweethearts would definitely see it on television, they still wanted to tell him in person and receive his praise.
In the taxi, Long Jie held Ning Yuwei tightly and asked, "Now, can you tell me what our man said earlier?" She was still bothered by what Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yuwei had said before the competition.
"Of course," Ning Yuwei replied. So, Ning Yuwei whispered what she had said to Fang Zhenyu in her ear. Both she and Long Jie felt hot all over, and if they weren't in the car, they would have already started comforting each other.
Finally back at the hotel, as soon as they entered their room, Long Jie laughed incessantly until she was breathless. She then said, "I once heard a story about Lü Dongbin, who had the ability to have intercourse remotely, making people pregnant without them even realizing it. I never thought our lover had this ability too, and even more powerful than Lü Dongbin."
Although Ning Yuwei hadn't heard this story before and found it interesting, she didn't have time to listen. She dialed Linhai's number, found Fang Zhenyu, and told him about her situation. Of course, she didn't forget to put it on speakerphone so Long Jie could hear his voice and talk to him too. Fortunately, Long Jie was by her side; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have wanted to put down the microphone for even a moment. Even so, they talked until 2 a.m. Of course, apart from the competition, they mostly talked about things between men and women. This time, even Long Jie experienced the pleasure of remote intercourse.
On Wednesday, April 27, 1994,
Ning Yuwei finally sat down on the sofa in the living room of the Fang family building. The short welcoming ceremony, which lasted only a few tens of minutes, had exhausted her more than the competition itself. She was almost at her limit, leaning back on the sofa, panting. She took the drink her mother gave her, took a sip, and said, "It was too much trouble. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have let them pick me up."
Zhong Yuguang, Fang Zhenyu, and the others who followed her back couldn't help but laugh. Zhong Yuguang said, "You're only a national champion now. If you win the world championship, you'll find it even harder to handle. Do you still want to keep fighting?"
At the mention of fighting, Ning Yuwei jumped up and said, "Of course I do! But then, you have to protect me. I don't want so many people making a fool of me."
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "How can it be making a fool of you? This is their respect and admiration for the champion!"
"I don't need this kind of respect and admiration," Ning Yuwei seemed to still have lingering fears.
"Yuwei, you guys chat, I have to go back to the provincial capital, or I'll be too late." A tall man said to Ning Yuwei after everyone stopped laughing.
Only then did everyone realize there was an outsider present. Fang Zhenyu said apologetically, "Coach Dong, I'm sorry, we were so happy we forgot to greet you."
This man was Dong Liwang, a tennis coach from the provincial capital, specially sent by the Provincial Sports Commission to assist Long Jie's training. His mission would have been complete upon returning to the provincial capital, but he insisted on seeing Ning Yuwei off. Everyone understood his intentions, but no one knew Ning Yuwei's meaning, which was why they remained silent. Seeing Fang Zhenyu's reaction, he said amiably, "It's nothing, I'm just as happy as everyone else, but I have business in the province and must return."
Everyone naturally tried their best to persuade him to stay, but Dong Liwang did indeed have business to attend to. After talking for a while, he left, of course, also scheduling future training sessions with Ning Yuwei.
"Four girls, you have good taste," Ning Yuheng said with a smile as soon as Dong Liwang left.
"What are you talking about?" Ning
Yuwei blushed. Of course, she knew Dong Liwang was pursuing her, and she thought he was a good person, but she hadn't thought about accepting him yet because she needed to ask her brother-in-law's opinion. Ning Yuheng asked Long Jie, who looked very tired, sitting to the side, "Coach Long, is Coach Dong particularly concerned about his students?"
Long Jie smiled and said, "It's only natural for a coach to care about his students, what's so strange about that? I just feel that Coach Dong isn't caring enough about Yuwei."
"Coach!" Ning Yuwei glared at Long Jie, then turned her gaze to Fang Zhenyu, but quickly looked away. Clearly, she was afraid Fang Zhenyu would be jealous!
Fang Zhenyu smiled at her and said, "Fourth daughter, you don't need to be embarrassed. Mom is actually looking forward to having another son-in-law. Mom, don't you think so?" He turned to Wang Peiying and said.
Looking at her happy children, Wang Peiying felt very happy too. She said, "Of course! You're all so hard to raise. The sooner I marry you off, the less I have to worry about you."
"Mom, I guess you just want to enjoy your life as a couple. You don't have to be so heartless. Just spend more time with Hao Bo, we have no objections," Ning Yuzhi chimed in, speaking up for her sister.
Everyone laughed, making Wang Peiying a little embarrassed. Shangguan Hao had been back recently, so she spent most of her time in the workers' village and less time at home. She knew her daughter was just teasing her, but what could she say? She could only glare at Ning Yuzhi and say, "With such a sharp tongue, who would want you in the future?"
"It's best if no one wants me. I'll just stay home like my older sister and live my whole life," Ning Yuzhi pouted, thinking to herself, "Even if someone wanted me, I wouldn't want to get married!"
"Who said anything about me?" With that, Ning Yufen appeared before them, followed by Fang Yuqiong and others, carrying dishes as they filed out.
"Sister Yuqiong, you're here too?" Ning Yuwei was a little surprised.
"Can't I come? There are so many other people here," Fang Yuqiong said with a smile.
Sure enough, behind her were Xu Xiangjun, Ning Yuzhi, and Wu Xuedong. Ning Yuwei said apologetically, "Such a small matter has actually bothered everyone. I'm really sorry."
Wu Xuedong put the dishes on the table and said seriously, "If winning the national championship is a small matter, then what is a big matter? We came here this time, firstly to congratulate you, and secondly to encourage you to work harder and strive to win a world championship next year."
"That's right," everyone echoed.
Ning Yuwei was a little apprehensive. She looked at Long Jie.
Long Jie said seriously, "With your comprehension and talent, it's not impossible for you to win a world championship with more training. As long as you can endure hardship, do you think Coach Dong came with you just to flirt with you? He also wants to see your living conditions and whether you can undergo further training." "
That damn Liwang, he'll be in for it later. He didn't even tell me about something so important," Ning Yuwei said through gritted teeth. Then, her expression turned serious, and she said, "Since everyone thinks I can do it, then I'll work hard. But everyone must give me their full support!"
"Of course," Fang Zhenyu said.
"I'm talking about certain comrades," Ning Yuwei said, looking at Zhong Yuguang.
Zhong Yuguang felt a little ashamed because he couldn't help much with Ning Yuwei's matter. Hearing this, he said, "This time I will definitely do my best to help."
Fang Zhenyu glanced at Zhong Yuguang and said, "Fourth Sister, don't worry. This time, Secretary Zhong and Comrade Zhong Yuguang will not only help, but will be a great help."
Upon hearing Fang Zhenyu's words, everyone turned to look at him, especially Zhong Yuguang, who stared intently. He himself didn't know how to help Ning Yuwei, so how could Fang Zhenyu claim to be a great help? However, he knew Fang Zhenyu never spoke without certainty, so he didn't question him but waited for an explanation.
Fang Zhenyu didn't speak immediately, but instead said, "The dishes are all served, everyone please take your seats. Let's eat and talk." After settling Shangguan Hao and Wang Peiying, he unceremoniously sat down next to Shangguan Hao, acting like the head of the household. There were quite a few guests today, filling a large table. Fang Zhenyu first toasted Long Jie and her student before allowing everyone to speak freely.
The topic of the day was, of course, Ning Yuwei's victory. Everyone inevitably asked Ning Yuwei to explain the situation, and Ning Yuwei had no choice but to speak, of course, not daring to mention Fang Zhenyu's encouraging phone call, even though many of the women present already knew. She embellished her own struggles and recounted them, and even so, everyone listened with longing.
If anyone was distracted, it was Zhong Yuguang. From the moment he toasted Ning Yuwei, he was thinking about Fang Zhenyu's promise to help her greatly. Seeing that the toasting had ended, he asked, "Zhenyu, what were you talking about earlier?"
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "A dignified municipal party secretary, and you don't even have this much patience?"
Zhong Yuguang smiled bitterly, "What can I do? I'm poor."
Fang Zhenyu still didn't answer Zhong Yuguang, but instead said to Ning Yuwei, "Fourth sister, do you know? It's not like a few days ago anymore. You no longer need to beg people for money; instead, people are begging you to use their money."
"What do you mean?" Ning Yuwei was stunned. Not only her, but everyone else was also puzzled by Fang Zhenyu's words and all looked at him.
Fang Zhenyu said, "Before, Ning Yuwei was just a small-time athlete in Linhai, but now she's a national champion. Her status is naturally different. Therefore, our Dongfang Printing Group plans to sponsor her participation in international competitions. This has already been decided. I think Linhai Port Development and Investment Corporation should also participate in the sponsorship, but I don't know if the Party Secretary will agree."
Halfway through Fang Zhenyu's sentence, Zhong Yuguang already knew what was going on. After Fang Zhenyu finished speaking, he said, "The head office is in charge of this; why should I agree?"
"But this kind of money can be considered legitimate, or it can be considered privatizing public funds," Fang Zhenyu reminded him.
This was understandable. Sponsoring someone else would be fine, but sponsoring Ning Yuwei? Both Zhong Yuguang and Fang Zhenyu were Ning Yuwei's brothers-in-law; there would inevitably be gossip. Zhong Yuguang naturally needed to think carefully. Ning Yuheng, standing nearby, had also considered this issue, but she was more open-minded than Zhong Yuguang. Perhaps she hadn't yet been in Zhong Yuguang's position. She said, "What's there to think about? Sponsoring local athletes to participate in international competitions is a good thing. Just do it. As for the rest, let others talk. Anything that benefits the development of the coastal port should be done. Isn't that what you always say?"
Zhong Yuguang certainly knew that such sponsorship would greatly benefit the promotion of the port's development; otherwise, Fang Zhenyu wouldn't have spent that money. Although Ning Yuwei was his sister-in-law, he was the kind of person who would rather spend his own money than public funds. So he said, "Okay, it's settled then. For every amount your Oriental Group sponsors, the Port Development Investment Corporation will sponsor the same amount. Is that settled?"
"Good, that's straightforward," Fang Zhenyu praised. "If Yuwei really gets selected for the national team, we'll proceed according to this plan."
Ning Yuzhi pouted and said, "I thought he was being generous. It's not like he's spending his own money. How can he be worse than a private company?"
Fang Zhenyu laughed and said, "Fifth Sister, you can't say that. Actually, I don't want him to sponsor too much. Too much here would be bad for my Oriental Group." In fact, he was already very pleased that Zhong Yuguang agreed to this.
"Secretary Zhong, please enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving now." Everyone was chatting happily when Long Jie said.
"So soon?" Zhong Yuguang asked.
"Yes, I haven't stayed here for so many days. I need to go home and clean up," Long Jie said.
Ning Yuwei stood up and said, "Teacher, please don't leave. It's so inconvenient for you to be alone. Besides, it's late now. Why don't you stay here for the night? I have plenty of room."
"Yes, Teacher Long, please stay here," Wang Peiying also said. Seeing how difficult it was for Long Jie to walk, she felt sorry for her.
Long Jie hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's just too much trouble for you."
"You're Yuwei's teacher, it's only right that she takes care of you, what's the trouble?" Wang Peiying said.
"Teacher, please stay, we can discuss participating in the next competition." Ning Yuwei said.
So, Long Jie stayed. Actually, her leaving was just an act. In order to stay and get intimate with Fang Zhenyu, she had already discussed this method of retreating to advance with Ning Yuwei on the way back to Linhai, so when Wang Peiying spoke up, she no longer insisted.
How could Wang Peiying know that her daughter would lie to her with others? Seeing her difficult appearance, she said to Ning Yuwei, "Fourth girl, Teacher Long has traveled for so long and spent so much time with you, she must be very tired. You should go upstairs and rest with her!"
"Okay!" Ning Yuwei, of course, immediately acted.
"Coach Long, please take good care of yourself. You are the pride of Linhai, and you are carrying the blood of Linhai's hero." Zhong Yuguang said with concern.
"Thank you! I'll be careful," Long Jie said, blushing. Everyone assumed she was blushing because of Zhong Yuguang's comment about her pregnant belly, but Fang Zhenyu knew it was because of the child's future.
They chatted for a while longer, and seeing that it was already nine o'clock, Wang Peiying said, "You all continue chatting, we need to go back now." Shangguan Hao had returned; she lived in the workers' new village.
After seeing Shangguan Hao and Wang Peiying off, Zhong Yuguang, Wu Xuedong and his wife, and Xu Xiangjun and her son also left. Xu Xiangjun had originally wanted to stay, but because she had her son with her and saw that all the Ning sisters were there except for Ning Yuheng, she left. Seeing Fang Yuqiong's hesitant expression, Ning Yufang couldn't help but laugh, "Yuqiong, what's wrong? You finally got this opportunity, and you still want to go back?"
Fang Yuqiong hadn't received Fang Zhenyu's favor for a long time, so of course she wanted to stay. She only hesitated because she saw that the Ning sisters were all there, along with Long Jie. Hearing Ning Yufang's words, she said, "But there are already so many people?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, Ning Yufang laughed, "Don't worry, our husband is very capable. How about six people? Five people? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Big brother, really?" Fang Yuqiong simply sat in Fang Zhenyu's lap.
Fang Zhenyu smiled wryly. He put his arm around Fang Yuqiong's slender waist, his large hand gently stroking her high, jade-like breasts, and said, "Stay, I guarantee I'll satisfy you bunch of gluttons."
"Great!" Fang Yuqiong immediately gave Fang Zhenyu a sweet kiss, and at the same time, she began to act. The Fang family mansion was filled with sounds of passion, which lasted for most of the night.
On Sunday, May 1, 1994
, when Fang Zhenyu woke up in the port area, Zhan Dajun and Shi Xiaoyan, two naked women, were lying beside him. Although it was May Day, Fang Zhenyu hadn't returned to the city because of the opening ceremony of the Baiyutan Tourist Resort the day before. Instead, he stayed in the port area. After seeing off the leaders and VIPs who came to attend the ceremony, he was pulled into the new room by the two women, and a whirlwind of passion ensued. After two rounds of lovemaking, all three were exhausted, so they didn't wake up until dawn.
"Hey, get up," Fang Zhenyu nudged them.
The two women were still languid, only getting up and dressing after Fang Zhenyu's repeated urging. Their lazy demeanor almost made Fang Zhenyu lose control. Zhan Dajun asked, puzzled, "You don't have to work today, why are you up so early?"
Fang Zhenyu slapped her plump, round buttocks and said, "Do you think this is your home where you can sleep as long as you want?"
"What's there to be afraid of? There's no one here, everyone's gone home for the holidays." Zhan Dajun simply grabbed Fang Zhenyu's soft, yielding member and began to knead it, his manner as lewd as could be.
Shi Xiaoyan dressed herself and then took Fang Zhenyu's underwear to put on him. She pulled Zhan Dajun's hand away and laughed, "Hey, if you want to spend more time with him, just bear with it. Wait until you announce to the outside world that you're Fang Zhenyu's mistress before you go out with him."
Zhan Dajun was just playing around, of course. She let go of his hand and, while dressing, said, "Do you think I wouldn't dare? As long as the law allows it, I'd be willing to be his twentieth wife."
Looking at Zhan Dajun's affectionate expression, Fang Zhenyu felt very fond of her. He kissed her delicate face and said, "I know you're good to me, but we still need to go and see how our resort business is doing."
The three of them exchanged sweet nothings, got dressed, and washed up. Shi Xiaoyan went out first to check if anyone was around before leaving the room. Just as they turned the corner in the corridor, they encountered Yu Xiaozhen. For some reason, she blushed upon seeing the three of them. After greeting Fang Zhenyu and the others, she was about to leave when Fang Zhenyu called out, "Xiaozhen, wait a moment."
"Mr. Fang, is there something you need?" Yu Xiaozhen turned around, her shapely figure in her well-fitting uniform facing Fang Zhenyu. She glanced at Shi Xiaoyan first before facing Fang Zhenyu, her face appearing even more alluring.
Fang Zhenyu seemed oblivious to this. He asked, "How was business last night?"
Yu Xiaozhen had been in charge of the front desk last night, so she knew the situation. She seemed somewhat disappointed, her expression hardening as she said, "All thirty rooms were fully booked last night. If Vice President Zhan hadn't booked one early, I'm afraid even she wouldn't have been able to get a room." At first, she was quite calm, but for some reason, her face flushed again when Zhan Dajun's room reservation was mentioned, and she even secretly glanced at Zhan Dajun. Then he added, "Many of those who stayed last night were from various units in the city. They didn't want to leave once they saw our beach, and they're still having breakfast in the restaurant!"
"Oh, go ahead." Fang Zhenyu dismissed Yu Xiaozhen, then looked at Zhan Dajun and laughed, "When did you, Deputy General Manager Zhan, become so rich that you're booking such a high-class room?"
"Mind your own business!" Zhan Dajun blushed. Hearing that many people from the city were here, she knew it wasn't good to be with Fang Zhenyu, so she pulled Shi Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, let's go. Let him be all alone."
Fang Zhenyu, of course, understood her meaning. He shook his head and walked towards the front desk. Coincidentally, Wei Sujuan, the resort's deputy manager and head manager, was inspecting the area. He asked around and confirmed that it was exactly as Yu Xiaozhen had said. He then went with Wei Sujuan to check on the various buildings to see what needed improvement. As they walked, they discussed the resort. Hearing how knowledgeable Wei Sujuan was about it, Fang Zhenyu knew he had hired the right person. He couldn't help but praise, "Sujuan, your work is outstanding."
"Since you, my boss, think so highly of me, how can I not do my best to impress you? If I don't do well, not only will I lose face, but you won't look good either!" Wei Sujuan said earnestly. It's understandable why she said that; she was one of the managers Fang Zhenyu had hired at a high salary.
Fang Zhenyu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter whose face you have, the key is to do a good job. Actually, I don't have that much face; it's just that you're talented."
"Who said you don't have much face? Deputy Zhan is such a proud person, yet she was willing to book a room for you," Wei Sujuan suddenly said.
Fang Zhenyu was startled and said, "What did you say?"
Wei Sujuan smiled at him and said, "If I don't even know whether these thirty-odd rooms have been booked or not, and who's staying in them, then what's the point of being the deputy manager?"
Fang Zhenyu could only smile bitterly. The saying "If you don't want others to know, don't do it" was truly true. He thought he needed to be more careful in the future. He whispered, "Sujuan, you can't gossip about this."
Wei Sujuan giggled, and after laughing, she said, "Don't worry, I'm not a gossip. Why would I gossip? Besides, I don't want the boss to fire me if I talk about him, but..."
"But what?" Seeing Wei Sujuan's pleading look, Fang Zhenyu couldn't help but feel anxious.
Seeing Fang Zhenyu's expression, Wei Sujuan became even more smug and whispered, "If I have the money to book a room, I hope you can come and keep me company. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?" Without waiting for Fang Zhenyu's reply, she giggled and ran off.
Looking at Wei Sujuan's graceful figure and listening to her sweet laughter, Fang Zhenyu could only smile bitterly. He hadn't expected even Wei Sujuan to be like this. How could things continue like this? Although Wei Sujuan was Yu Xiaozhen's teacher, she wasn't very old, only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. In terms of appearance, she was comparable to Zhan Dajun and the others. It was said that she came from a very good family. Fang Zhenyu couldn't understand why she would still be interested in him. Were all women really promiscuous? Of course, he dared not draw such a conclusion.
Back at the restaurant, Zhan Dajun and the others were already having breakfast. He wanted to join them, but he was called away by other people from the city. He had to entertain them again; those people were his benefactors, and he couldn't afford to offend them. Only after breakfast did he have time to return to his office. Today was a holiday, so naturally no one bothered him. He was inside, meticulously considering the work to be done after the resort opened: the office building needed to start construction, the cooperation plan for the railway to the port, negotiations with the Americans, and so on—all requiring his careful arrangements. So even though it was a holiday, he couldn't sit still.
"Business is so good, what are you still thinking about?" Zhan Dajun returned sometime earlier. She brewed Fang Zhenyu a cup of ginseng tea, something she and Xu Xiangjun had arranged to give him to nourish his body. They were worried that his excessive spending would affect his health, so they wanted to find a way to help him recover. And surprisingly, it was quite effective. Although Fang Zhenyu had so many women, he had never become thinner, nor had he gained weight.
Fang Zhenyu glanced at Zhan Dajun, thinking of her deep affection for him, and sighed inwardly. Why were all these capable and beautiful women so infatuated with him? He asked her to sit down before saying, "If we were just developing a tourist area, then of course there wouldn't be any problem. But we're developing a port. The completion of the tourist area is just the first step in a long journey. The work ahead is even more important."
Zhan Dajun also felt affection for this outstanding man. She said, "Of course I know, but people need proper rest besides work. Didn't Lenin say that you can't work if you don't know how to rest?"
"Isn't sleeping all night a form of rest?"
Zhan Dajun blushed. Seeing that no one else was around, she whispered, "Last night you didn't rest at all; you worked even harder. Go back so Sister Yufang won't be waiting at home."
Fang Zhenyu was grateful to see her like this. This wasn't something an ordinary woman could do, so he went along with her wishes and said, "Alright, I'll go back. Are you coming back with me or staying here?"
Zhan Dajun shook her head and said, "Anyway, I don't have anyone at home, and someone needs to be on duty here. I'll stay here. I'll go talk to Sister Yufang again when I have time."
"Then thank you for your trouble." Fang Zhenyu quickly hugged her and kissed her before leaving the office.
