Jiang Chen noticed his old classmate Xie Wendong looked healthier and more put-together than before, deducing that Xie Wendong had likely started dating. After some playful teasing and confirmation from Xie Wendong, Jiang Chen correctly guessed his new partner was Ouyang Qing, a former classmate known for her strict demeanor. Despite Xie Wendong's initial embarrassment and attempts to downplay the relationship, Jiang Chen encouraged him, seeing it as a potentially great story for their classmates.

Boss Jiang started sharing his experiences.

Previously, Xie Wendong tutored him, so now it’s time to return the favor. Never underestimate a class leader; people who work in disciplinary committees share similar traits, they hate injustice and won’t tolerate any nonsense. Back in school, because he was a frequent visitor of the political education office, he tarnished the whole class’s reputation, so Ouyang Qing, who was the disciplinary committee member, never gave him a good look.

Of course.

Jiang Chen fully understood and respected that.

It was really his fault, well, Qing Gege’s fault,

Not quite.

To be more precise, it was Old Min’s fault.

"Ouyang is actually quite gentle."

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, looking at the earnest Xie Wendong, and chuckled.

Indeed.

Who says a tough woman doesn’t have a soft side, it’s just that outsiders never have a chance to see it.

"I wish you both happiness."

Boss Jiang sincerely said.

"Thanks."

Then, Xie Wendong continued, deliberately glancing at Fang Qing, "No one knows about me and her yet, so I hope..."

"You want me to keep it secret, right?"

Jiang Chen looked understanding, "Don’t you know how tight-lipped I am?"

Xie Wendong nodded; he knew Jiang Chen’s character, but when Ouyang Qing and Wu Yufei arrived, the first thing said twisted his expression.

"Oh, East Sister-in-law is here."

Fang Qing calmly drank her tea.

Sometimes, you have to look beyond the surface to see the essence.

She had seen through this guy.

Obviously.

The atmosphere couldn’t remain serious even if it wanted to.

"Huh?"

The just-entered Wu Yufei was bewildered, and after a moment, she realized, "Are you calling Ouyang?"

"Coming to River City was worthwhile, knowing such big news."

Xie Wendong wanted to cover his mouth.

The just-exposed-on-the-road Ouyang Qing was both shy and anxious, glaring at Xie Wendong, "Didn’t I tell you not to talk nonsense!"

"It’s not his fault; I guessed it."

With that, Jiang Chen seemed to come to his senses, glanced at Xie Wendong, "You weren’t planning to hide it from her, were you?"

Xie Wendong forced a smile worse than crying.

Jiang Chen felt regretful, embarrassed, and immediately apologized: "Sorry about that..."

"It’s okay, I already figured it out long ago."

Wu Yufei pulled Ouyang Qing to sit down and teased, "As long as it doesn’t affect work, what’s wrong with it? The company is very humane, and banning workplace romance is a tyrannical clause and violates labor laws, right Miss Fang?"

Fang Qing nodded with a smile, "Yes, many companies even have husband-and-wife teams."

For example, her company isn’t just a couple’s business; it’s practically a family enterprise.

"As long as it’s not an unspoken rule, normal relationships can be open and above board."

Look.

A top-notch lawyer is a top-notch lawyer.

One sentence lightened the mood of the entire room.

"What’s so funny, go tell them to serve the dishes."

Ouyang Qing said to Xie Wendong.

Boss Jiang watched quietly, and after Xie Wendong obediently left, he stood from a male’s perspective and spoke a fair word.

"Just now, Wendong said you’re very gentle."

Wu Yufei was slightly stunned.

"Pfft."

Fang Qing couldn’t hold back, laughed out loud, and kicked someone under the table.

Ouyang Qing was thoroughly embarrassed.

The sense of distance created by old classmates due to identity and status, if not entirely, at least diminished by more than half.

The dishes were served.

Naturally, Boss Jiang was the undisputed first to speak.

"When you get married, remember to let me know. Even if I can’t be there, the gift will surely arrive."

Ouyang Qing was, in fact, braver and unwilling to be teased continuously, replied calmly, "Forget to notify anyone but this wealthy master here. He used to tutor you, and if the red packet is small, I’ll have something to say."

Xie Wendong hurriedly pulled her arm, Jiang Chen had been like a re-creator to them.

"As long as you don’t bully our Brother Dong, respect him, don’t abuse him, the red packet will be huge."

Xie Wendong was extremely embarrassed.

Ouyang Qing’s face instantly turned red, all the pretense of calm like a balloon pricked by a needle, completely falling apart, shouting in shame:

"He’s a grown man; how could I abuse him?"

"Jiang Chen is joking with you."

Xie Wendong showed his boyfriend power, comforting Ouyang Qing, while giving Jiang Chen a "blaming" look.

After all, I did owe him tutoring fees back then.

Boss Jiang stopped teasing, picked up his chopsticks, "Let’s eat, let’s eat."

No one drank, no one toasted, after all, it was a friendship gathering, not a business meeting.

"Have you settled on a place to stay? I know a decent hotel nearby."

Wu Yufei tentatively asked, even caring needed to be cautious.

No need to hide anymore, Ouyang Qing saw it, sympathy, compassion, but helpless.

"This place is too far; are there any good hotels recommended near Qingfeng?"

"Qingfeng?"

Wu Yufei was surprised.

"Yeah, what’s up?"

"Yu Fei lives in Qingfeng." Xie Wendong said instinctively.

"Really. Such a coincidence."

"Why choose Qingfeng?"

Wu Yufei couldn’t help but ask, Qingfeng is not close to Xinghuo Medical Center, even taking the Third Ring takes half an hour, after all, River City is famously known as Great Jiang City, there are only a few cities nationwide with the "Great" prefix.

"Actually, we’re here for two reasons, one is to take my uncle for treatment, and the second is to watch a concert."

"Concert?"

Not only Wu Yufei, but Xie Wendong and Ouyang Qing were also taken by surprise.

"Is there a problem?"

Such a wealthy person attending a concert, it indeed steps out of the usual thinking pattern, but considering their age.

Jiang Chen, like them, is only in his twenties.

"Fang Qing and I always wanted as kids to see a Jay Chou concert when we grow up. Just so happens we have time now."

"Jay Chou?"

Xie Wendong was again taken aback.

Jiang Chen was a bit confused too.

Was Jay Chou not the idol of their generation, something to make a big fuss over?

"Is Jay Chou having a concert in River City?"

Xie Wendong whispered to Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing also shook her head in bafflement, she hadn’t heard about it at all.

"...You probably mean Xu Shangao."

Wu Yufei "reminded" him.

Now it was Boss Jiang’s turn to be stunned.

"Isn’t it Jay Chou?"

In the end, Qing Gege herself took out her phone to check, and found out they were misled.

What Jay Chou.

The one having a concert in River City was, in fact, the network music godfather who ruled the non-mainstream era, Xu Shangao.

"You said you’d take me to Jay Chou’s concert."

Boss Jiang awkwardly replied, "Sorry, misread it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"No worries, you could invite Jay Chou to give a concert."

Ouyang Qing hit where it hurts, trying hard to hold back laughter.

To others it might be a fantasy, but to Boss Jiang, organizing a public performance takes too long, yet having King Zhou fly over for a private concert for Qing Gege is no big deal, but somehow doesn’t feel the same.

"Life doesn’t have rehearsals, Xu Shangao isn’t bad either, not inferior to Jay Chou."

Jiang Chen providing himself a way out.

Such a broad-minded outlook on life.

Indeed.

Is it important to see whom?

Moreover, during their youth, Xu Shangao could indeed rival Jay Chou, equally part of their generation’s memories.

"Yeah, Xu Shangao is just the same, that song about strolling in the rain back then, mocking others’ smeared makeup, was truly amazing."

Only men would stand on each other’s side, Xie Wendong loyally echoed.

"Great taste."

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs-up.

"Did you buy the tickets?"

Fang Qing suddenly asked an incredibly out-there question, everyone knows seemingly absurd things usually have even more absurd precursors.

This person is truly unreliable.

"It’s not time yet. I’ll buy them after dinner."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Are they living in different parallel universes?

In their world, aren’t concert tickets supposed to be grabbed?

Luckily, Qing Gege has good manners and patience; if it were any other woman, being invited to a concert, getting the celebrity wrong, plus not having the tickets ready, they’d guarantee a scolding.

"How about staying at my place?"

Wu Yufei’s voice was quite soft, yet suddenly drew everyone’s attention.

"... I live alone. Three rooms."

Hmm.

Concise and to the point.

Boss Jiang was just about to refuse when he heard: "Then we’ll trouble you."
