deal You let me go and I'll let you leave Riren Town alive. How's that"Wang Zheng shook his head, showing no interest in talking to such an arrogant person. He then stood up and grabbed Liu Gangzhou...Chapter 812 Creating Opportunities

In fact, success is really simple. As long as you are willing to make success a habit.

After taking a shower, Wang Zheng felt completely refreshed and took out a can of Coke from the fridge, then walked to the bedside, gazing at the night sky while feeling the comfort of carbonated drinks sliding down his throat.

In the past, Wang Zheng would never drink such beverages because he believed it was too indulgent and could slightly affect muscle growth and strength levels.

But now, Wang Zheng had a more open-minded view. Many things can be let go of; what might seem extremely important at one time may not hold the same significance when revisited later on.

At this moment, his phone rang.

The text message was from Shishi上官詩詩—Open the door, I know you're not asleep.

Reading such a content made Wang Zheng feel both amused and bewildered.

Opening the door, Shishi上官詩詩 squeezed in wearing pajamas. Her long, smooth hair was loose over her shoulders, and under the light, her fair neck and lovely face looked particularly beautiful.

"So late, why aren't you sleeping yet" Wang Zheng pointed at his bed and said, "Feel free to sit down."

Wang Zheng's bed was neatly made; the sheets were wrinkle-free, and the blanket was folded into a square block with a smooth surface, just like when he was in the military. This contrasted sharply with上官詩詩那亂糟糟的床。(This part is already in English, so no translation needed.)

This was simply a long-standing habit rather than something Wang Zheng did intentionally. Some things had become ingrained in his bones; they wouldn't fade regardless of how much the environment changed or time passed.

"I wouldn’t sit on such a bed," said上官詩詩, sucking on a bottle of yogurt. "Where have you been tonight You came back so late."

"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you" Wang Zheng rolled his eyes at上官詩詩.

"Don’t forget that you are my bodyguard. Do you think you’re doing a good job as one" said上官詩詩 indignantly.

Wang Zheng blinked and suddenly lowered his voice, saying, "Have you noticed that your temper has improved recently"

"What do you mean by saying my temper is better I’ve always been gentle," said上官詩詩. After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered their first meeting when her menstrual cycle was irregular, and indeed, she had a bit of a short fuse at the time; however, after Wang Zheng cured this troublesome condition, Miss上官大小姐確實變得溫和了許多。(Miss Shishi has indeed become much gentler.)

It seemed like just a moment ago, but so much time had passed. All those incidents were still vividly clear in her mind.

Shang Guan Shishi has also grown up and matured a lot. Now Wang Zheng is extremely busy, flying both domestically and internationally every day; being able to return to the villa on Tianshingshan for a good sleep has become an incredibly luxurious thing. It's unknown if they will have time to rest after this matter is over.

"There's an expo in Minzhong right now, so Miss Sheng Fei is out of town and Xiao Ye has gone back home, leaving me as the only one here," said Shang Guan Shishi. "It always feels a bit awkward staying alone in such a big house."

"If you don't want to sleep, I can chat with you," Wang Zheng sat beside the bed; his slightly wet hair seemed incredibly attractive under this light.

Looking at this side face that frequently appeared in her dreams, Shang Guan Shishi suddenly said, "Wang Zheng, do you think we're living a hard life What's the point of people living"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden"

“I know many people would envy me for having a very wealthy dad and being the nominal CEO of Giant Integration. But I also envy those who envy me; I wish to have a peaceful and warm university life, to be able to hold hands with little boys on campus at this age. Dealing with all sorts of intrigues every day has really tired me out.” Shang Guan Shishi sat cross-legged on the floor looking rather exhausted.

Wang Zheng naturally understood that during these twenty-something years, it was a girl's most beautiful time in her life when she should have been carefree and enjoying herself. But now, Shang Guan Shishi was using her frail shoulders to shoulder burdens that even men couldn't carry.

After the restoration of the Shangguan family, they had completely entrusted daily affairs to Shang Guan Shishi while they themselves were contentedly fishing and riding bikes. They only offered guidance on the company's development direction before letting go entirely. Now, Shang Guan Shishi was the captain of this commercial aircraft carrier called Giant Integration, with an incomparably heavy burden on her shoulders, leaving it a mystery how the Shangguans could be so heartless towards their daughter.

Fortunately, Shang Guan Shishi had always maintained a good mentality; otherwise, she might have developed depression under such immense pressure.

Many people envy上官詩詩's glamorous life, but they don't know that behind this glamour lies a bitterness that is hard to express.

"Everyone has their own way of living and the responsibilities they bear are different." Wang Zheng patted Shangguan Shishi on the shoulder: "In today’s society, everyone is driven forward. You can’t make society revert back to the 1970s or 80s when people relied on communal dining and had little pressure or expectations; although that might seem nice, it's not possible for times to regress."

"Times cannot go backward," Shangguan Shishi mused over this statement before nodding.

Sitting opposite each other for a long time, Shangguan Shishi finally said: "Sometimes I really want to find a man and marry him so that he can take on all the pressure, while I focus solely on being a wealthy housewife, sunbathing and walking my dog every day."

"Can you find a man who can tame you Remember, having you means getting access to Jirong International; I reckon most men are after your family’s wealth." Wang Zheng said with a mischievous smile: "But don’t let this make you doubt true love. If you stop believing in love because of what I just said, then pretend I didn't say anything."

"You’re cursing me," Shangguan Shishi said: "After the New Year, I need to go to Hong Kong; will you come with me"

"Me accompany you" Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes: "A lone man and woman"

"You are my bodyguard after all. Besides, your business card says Senior Vice President of Jirong International; you should at least fulfill the minimum duties. This exchange meeting in Hong Kong is an important event, you must make a showing." Shangguan Shishi said with her lips pursed: "And there’s a shopping paradise there too; when I go window shopping, someone needs to carry my bags."

"So you’re treating me like your bag-carrying assistant" Wang Zheng rolled his eyes.th disdain."He’s your fourth brother. Besides, you’ll upset Grandpa if you do that," Qiao Shanchun frowned slightly.“So what if he's my fourth brother You're the second brother! He runs behind Qiao Sh...
