Chapter Thirty-Nine: Is That Past?
"Good boy, you're one of the car owners now!" Wei Qiang came over, circled around Zhang Heng's Geely Panda, and said with a smile, raising an eyebrow.
Zhang Heng touched his nose and casually tossed the car key to him: "Like it? Take it for a spin!"
"So generous?" Wei Qiang smiled and took Zhang Heng's car key, got in the car and drove away with a few Jili pandas. Xu Qing walked over and looked at Zhang Heng, saying: "I didn't expect you to be so calm, your complexion looks pretty good!"
Back in school days, Xu Qing was the class monitor and Zhang Heng was an ordinary student. At that time, no one knew how they got paired up, but somehow they developed a little crush on each other. Due to various factors, they didn't become a couple. Later, Xu Qing went to study abroad in England, while Zhang Heng got into a pretty good university in Beijing.
Since we can't be lovers, let's be friends for a lifetime. These words were written by Xǔ Qíng on a postcard to Zhāng Héng before she left, and that postcard is still kept at home by Zhāng Héng until now!
Online, phone calls, letters, the two people's contact over the years has never been interrupted. Zhang Heng also knew that Xu Qing had a British aristocratic boyfriend when she was studying in the UK.
"Depressed? Where did this beautiful girl get that from? Now I'm eating well, living well, sleeping well, everything is great." Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head. Half a year ago when he had just graduated, Xu Qing asked him if he was coming back, at that time Zhang Heng was still deeply in love with Li Qian, how could he have come back then?
"Have you found a job?" Xǔ Qíng batted her eyelashes at him, having known this old friend for so many years, she was all too familiar with Zhāng Héng's smooth talk.
"No!" Zhang Heng said bluntly, adding in his heart that although he and his son hadn't found jobs yet, they had already become bosses! If he were to say that he now has a "multinational" group, Xu Qing probably wouldn't believe it either.
"Why don't you come to our company?" Xǔ Qíng stared at Zhāng Héng and asked.
"Never mind, I'll go. Aren't you afraid that your British noble boyfriend will be jealous?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.
Xu Qing rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face didn't diminish. She scolded: "Stop being a pest, what's our relationship got to do with anything?" After a pause, she added: "Besides, even if we did have something going on, you're in front of Evan, what does he have to be jealous about?!"
"This is what you said, okay? Tomorrow I'll go to your company and be your secretary. If there's something I can't do, then it's fine, but if not, I can let you do it for me!" Zhang Heng said with a sly smile, his mouth curled up mischievously.
Xu Qing's face instantly flushed with two red clouds, charming and moving, she spat out: "You smooth-talking scoundrel, how can you never change this habit? Someone is talking seriously to you, not joking around!"
"We are absolutely pure and innocent!" Zhang Heng said with a sly smile.
Xu Qing dug his eyes, knowing that Zhang Heng was unwilling to come to her side. Since high school, this man had a big male chauvinist attitude, letting him go to his own company, afraid of others saying he was eating soft rice. Changing the subject, she smiled and asked: "De Xing, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Hmm!"
"Is it that beautiful woman in Beijing?" Xǔ Qíng had seen Lǐ Qiàn's photo, which Zhāng Héng had sent her online, but she didn't think much of the relationship between the two. She always felt that this woman was too flashy, and men without power or status couldn't afford to keep a woman like that.
What made her even more puzzled was that such an excellent woman, how could she have taken a fancy to Zhang Heng? This kid wasn't outstanding in any way, no talent, no looks, and no money.
In the end, it all comes down to those two words "opposite eyes". Didn't I almost fall for this little rascal back then? Even now, Xu Qing doesn't object, and in her heart, she still has feelings for this man. Back in middle school, although nothing really happened, emotionally speaking, it was equivalent to a "first love"!
Xu Qing's first kiss was taken away by this kid, although he thought she didn't know!
"That's settled! Now this one is Cloud Sea City's." Zhang Heng smiled and rubbed his nose, heh-hehing as he spoke.
Xu Qing was taken aback, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You little rascal, you're quite the ladies' man, wherever you go, you've got a way with women. Not to mention Qiangzi, you just got back a few days ago, didn't you?"
"Who can blame me for being too charming!" Zhang Heng exclaimed, throwing his head back and sighing with self-admiration.
"You can't die if you don't brag!" Xǔ Qíng glared at him sideways, turned around and walked into the 'Rainbow Private Diner' with a swaying butt. Zhāng Héng followed behind her, his eyes couldn't help but glance at her buttocks. He was stunned for a moment, her buttocks were much bigger than they were in middle school, maybe it's because of the nutritious beef abroad, of course that's not the main point, how can he feel from this tight butt, that this beautiful class monitor seems to still be a virgin?
Haha, no way, you have to go and ask yourself! Zhang Heng laughed slyly as he chased after him!
"Qing Er, whose idea was it to choose this place for our class reunion tonight? After one meal, my little bear (car) will have to be left here!"
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay, there's a 'sucker' tonight!" Xǔ Qíng's mouth curved upwards. If someone wasn't footing the bill, she wouldn't have chosen such a high-end place for an ordinary classmate gathering. The people who come and go here are either government officials or wealthy businessmen, it's too showy!
"Is that Li Meng?" Zhang Heng immediately thought of who the poor guy was when he heard her say this. Li Meng was a genuine rich second generation, his father was a well-known real estate developer in Yunhai City, and his mother was the district head of Donghuan District in Yunhai City. This guy had money and power, and could get away with anything!
In private, everyone calls him 'Li Big Head'!
When they were in school, Li Meng had been pursuing Xu Qing aggressively, and since Zhang Heng was quite close to Xu Qing, he found it unbearable. He would often look for trouble with him whenever there was a chance. Since Zhang Heng couldn't openly confront him, he took advantage of an opportunity when Li Meng went to the toilet, covered his head with a sack, and beat him up severely.
I think Li Meng still doesn't know who hit him even now!
"Qing'er, I'm asking you something?" Zhang Heng quickly walked two steps forward, squeezed into Xu Qing's side, and said with a mischievous smile.
"Nothing good, huh?" Xǔ Qíng tilted her head and glanced at him sideways, smiling as she said: "Ask away, but if it's something too private, I refuse to answer!"
"You and your British noble boyfriend have been together for quite some time now, haven't you?" Zhang Heng asked with a smile.
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yeah, it's been almost three years now. What's up?"
"So you've never been intimate?"
"What does it mean?" Xǔ Qíng stopped suddenly, and Zhāng Héng almost bumped into him.
Zhang Heng rubbed his nose and chuckled: "I was wondering if your's would pass?"
"Get out...!" Xǔ Qíng's face turned red as she scolded, turning her head and walking forward while saying: "A conservative girl like me, before getting married, do you think I would casually give away my 'first night' to someone like you? You pervert!"
