Chapter 1608: Chapter 1081: Incompatible Fortune (Monthly Ticket Request Omitted) (Part 2)

“Is this suitcase Miss Tong’s?”

Pan Yang then noticed the rolling suitcase by the table.

“Yeah.”

“Is Miss Tong leaving today?”

“No.”

Tong Dan looked up and explained, “I just got this back from the hotel. Like you, I’m about to become a glorious unemployed wanderer.”

“No, there’s a difference. I actually quit myself.”

Tong Dan joked.

“…Is it because of what happened last night?”

“Sigh.”

Tong Dan sighed, picking up chopsticks, continuing to eat noodles.

“It’s not Miss Tong’s fault…”

“Do you think you were at fault?”

Tong Dan asked with a smile.

Pan Yang was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Don’t try to persuade me, you understand it too.”

Pan Yang fell silent, quietly eating ramen.

“Qing Gege, I’m homeless now…”

Tong Dan looked at Fang Qing, pausing deliberately.

“Boss Jiang said he’d cover your room charges,” Fang Qing replied while eating noodles.

“That’s Boss Jiang for you, truly generous! But if he’d let me cling to his success, that would be even better.”

Tong Dan was first excited, then worried.

But only for a few seconds.

“Qing Gege, let’s drop the luggage off at the hotel later, then go have fun.”

Her eyes sparkled, looking less like someone without a job and more like someone recently freed from jail.

“I can help you take the luggage back, but playing…”

Fang Qing paused too, then looked at Pan Yang who was quietly eating noodles, “Isn’t there someone to accompany you?”

Tong Dan glanced at Pan Yang, “He still has work…”

Dazed is dazed, silly is silly, these are two completely different concepts. Hearing this, Pan Yang realized the legal director of Tianci Capital was creating an opportunity for him, and if he didn’t seize it, it would be a waste of good intentions.

“I, I don’t have a job anymore, I’m going to be unemployed anyway, it doesn’t matter if I go or not.”

He quickly said.

Tong Dan found it amusing, glanced at her companion knowingly, understanding her intentions, but couldn’t say much, especially since Pan Yang helped her yesterday, it wouldn’t be right to refuse.

“Really?”

“Really.”

Pan Yang nodded immediately, knowing that as a gentleman he should take the initiative, quickly said, “Miss Tong, I’ve been to Tokyo quite a few times, and I’m pretty familiar with it.”

Tong Dan responded with a “Hmm,” looking at Fang Qing, “Qing Gege, join us?”

Meanwhile, she kicked her legs at the other underneath the table.

Fang Qing seemed unfazed, “You guys go, I have work.”

Whether there’s work or not doesn’t matter.

There’s no way she’d be the extra large third wheel.

“Oh, forgot, Mr. Fang is not like us unemployed wanderers.”

Tong Dan understood her friend’s intentions, glared with a teasing scorn.

Fang Qing pretended not to see.

“Miss Tong, where do you want to go? Shopping or sightseeing?”

“I occasionally fly to Tokyo too, been to some places, but I haven’t visited the Yasukuni God Toilet yet.”

Pan Yang was caught off guard.

“You’ve been there?” Tong Dan asked.

Pan Yang shook his head, “No.”

“Perfect, just bring some yellow paper and spirit money, if something accidentally burns, we shouldn’t be in trouble, right?”

Pan Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

The more he interacted, the more he found this girl not only had outstanding looks but also an interesting soul.

“Waiter, the bill please.”

Unemployed as she may be, Tong the Beauty maintained her usual style, never stingy.

However, Fang Qing seized the opportunity, “Pack another family-sized bucket.”

“Still hungry? Qing Gege, can your stomach hold that much?”

Tong Dan instinctively said.

“Free accommodation, don’t you think a bowl of noodles is worth it?”

Tong Dan quickly caught on, immediately said, “Is one bowl enough? He looks pretty solid, how about three portions?”

…

Pan Yang placed the suitcase in the taxi trunk, Tong Dan helped open the car door, “Qing Gege, thanks for your hard work, kiss kiss.”

Fang Qing was amused yet helpless, quietly said, “Be serious.”

Tong Dan knew what she meant, pushed her into the car, “I got it.”

“Goodbye, Miss Fang.”

Pan Yang waved farewell.

“Goodbye.”

Fang Qing nodded with a smile.

“Bye~”

Tong Dan waved.

The taxi drove away.

“Miss Tong, is Miss Fang the same age as you?”

After Fang Qing left, Pan Yang couldn’t help asking.

“What do you think?”

Tong Dan smirked, “Looking at us, who do you think is older?”

Even someone as slow as Pan Yang knew this was a trick question, so he kept his mouth shut.

Tong Dan didn’t make it difficult for him, “She and I were high school classmates.”

Pan Yang was surprised.

Think about the others.

Then think about yourself.

“Miss Fang is really impressive.”

He said with admiration.

“Haha, there’s nothing worth comparing. The world is full of differences, and if you keep competing, life would be unbearable. Fang Qing is impressive, but there’s always someone better than her, isn’t there?”

Pan Yang nodded in deep agreement, then added, “Being friends with someone as impressive as Mr. Fang is proof of your excellence, Miss Tong.”

“Pfft…”

Tong Dan couldn’t hold back her laughter, “If you really don’t know how to flatter someone, don’t force it. I actually don’t like listening to sweet talk.”

Pan Yang felt awkward.

“Left or right?”

Tong Dan asked.

“Right, right.”

“Let’s go then.”

Tong Dan stretched her long legs.

Pan Yang hurried to catch up.

That’s the normal pace of a date, isn’t it?

Peninsula Hotel.

Jiang Chen was eating takeout that wasn’t too hot, not being picky, “Why not just let her stay with you?”

“She’s a chatterbox and disturbs my sleep at night.”

Fang Qing was succinct. While others were having fun, she was doing the heavy lifting, having just opened a room and settled Tong Dan’s luggage, now sitting and taking a break.

“Makes sense.”

Jiang Chen deeply resonated with Tong Dan’s “chatterbox” nature, but there was one thing.

Fang Qing rarely went to his room and always called him downstairs.

A little pondering, and he immediately thought of the Taoist nun sister.

Of course.

That topic wasn’t suitable to discuss.

“I now feel my previous judgement was wrong; they might not be suitable for each other.”

Jiang Chen said while picking up noodles, although they weren’t too warm, he found them delicious to eat.

“You’ve never even met the guy. I think he’s a bit like you.”

“Like me? In what way? Nose, eyes, or eyebrows?”

“…”

“He’s quite optimistic too.”

Fang Qing commented.

Jiang Chen picked up the bowl and drank some soup, smacking his lips, looking nothing like a big boss capitalist. If Tong Dan saw, she might not want to cling to his leg.

“Knowing it’s inevitable and accepting it as fate, isn’t that nice? It saves a lot of trouble.”

He said with a chuckle.

“Do you think Tong Dan and her date were destined to clash? As soon as they met, both of their careers were gone.”

Fang Qing was caught off guard, never considering this angle.

Honestly.

If someone who believed in these things heard it, they’d be done for.

“Didn’t you and I clash before too? And now we’re getting along well.”

“Really?”

“Isn’t it? They’re practically about to recognize you as family.”

Jiang Chen was amused yet helpless.

“The person is quite good in all aspects, so watch your words in front of Tong Dan and be careful not to accidentally ruin someone’s lifelong happiness.” Fang Qing spoke softly.

“You’re giving me too much credit,” Jiang Chen explained, “Isn’t Tong Dan not here? How could I say such things if she were? And does she seem like the superstitious type?”

“Even so, you shouldn’t speak recklessly.”

“You seem to think highly of the person, but your opinion doesn’t matter. The decision is Tong Dan’s. Among her friends, there’s no shortage of wealthy second generations and influential young masters. Her standards are surely high. Compared to them, that Pan Yang—it’s Pan Yang, right—seems too ordinary.”

“How can you be sure Tong Dan is looking for a wealthy husband?”

“Her level of consumption is right there. Can an ordinary person afford her lifestyle?”

Jiang Chen laughed.

This is a very realistic issue.

Rewind the timeline back.

Before the simping system picked him, he and Li Shuru had never had any interaction, not even the thought crossed his mind.

Why?

He was confident he could provide the life Ai Qian wanted.

But regarding Li Shuru, he had no confidence.

People’s requirements for material circumstances are different. Forcing someone to lower their standards is moral coercion.

“If you let her cling to your leg a bit, there’d be no problem.” Fang Qing’s expression was natural.

“Stop right there, what do you take me for? All that big brother and little sister, godfather and goddad nonsense—I disliked it back when we were in school. Such unhealthy trends.”

Boss Jiang was the epitome of righteousness, half a noodle in his mouth when he suddenly asked:

“What’s the name of Pan Yang’s company?”
