Chapter 0004: Encountering an Old Friend
His action eased Tang Zi's mind somewhat; it seemed that Wang Tianhao was not the type of spoiled rich kid. Otherwise, he would not have left without even glancing back at her. Just as the door was about to close, Tang Zi also got out of the car. Just a moment ago, she had been lost in thought, completely unaware that she had already reached her destination. If she had missed her stop, she would likely be late for work.
"Don't be like that; it's fine to think about it during the day, but at night, you should still be thinking about your woman, haha," Wang Tianhao laughed. He did not expect that even after ten years of being away, his brother from a decade ago would still care about him so much.
Wang Tianhao looked at the building, and indeed, it was impressive. There was more than one security guard standing at the entrance, and the modern design featured sparkling clean glass on the exterior of the building
"It's nothing; sometimes I make mistakes too. As long as one has a good heart, that's enough," Wang Tianhao said
"Hehe, with my lack of ability and skills, where could I find a job? I just set up a stall casually on the street to earn a few bucks to get by for the day," Wang Tianhao said with a silly grin.
If it weren't for Wang Tianhao coming to work with him tomorrow, He Pengyun would not say goodbye at all; at the very least, he would have to go out and drink until he was completely intoxicated.
Just as she was about to catch up with Wang Tianhao, Tang Zi shouted from behind, "Wang Tianhao, wait for me!"
Now I am going to work at Hongyi Group, which is quite far from my home. After some thought, Wang Tianhao plans to buy a car for commuting purposes.
I see, how about you come to work with me, Tian Ge? The company is filled with beautiful women, and the president is renowned for her beauty in Tianhai City.
Wang Tianhao took a sip of hot tea and recalled his life abroad, suddenly at a loss for words. Every day he was immersed in a perilous environment, where a moment's inattention could cost him his life
"Starting an independent business, this is a promising prospect. Hehe, mobile phone screen protectors are currently in high demand; I estimate your monthly income exceeds 10,000." Tang Zi said with a hint of envy.
Looking at Tang Zi's perfect silhouette, he could only give up. His gaze swept over the security booth at the entrance of the building, and Wang Tianhao seemed to have spotted an acquaintance. Although they had not seen each other for ten years, the person's appearance had not changed much.
"I am truly sorry for what happened earlier. I thought you... you... I am really sorry," Tang Zi said, her face turning red. She realized that she was indeed in the wrong; Wang Tianhao had helped her, yet she had repaid his kindness with ingratitude, which made Tang Zi feel a bit embarrassed.
The young man standing outside nodded and stepped into the security booth. He Pengyun then brought Wang Tianhao to a nearby tea house, ordered a pot of Longjing tea, and the two found a spot to sit down.
Oh, that's really great. In the future, we can drink and chase girls together. Brother Tian, where are you working now that you are back? He Pengyun felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Wang Tianhao say he would no longer be going out. Having known Wang Tianhao since childhood, He Pengyun naturally hoped that Wang Tianhao would stay here.
Well, I won't trouble you with this. I just changed it yesterday. Alright, I have to go to work now, or I'll be late. Goodbye. With that, Tang Zi waved her hand and walked towards the entrance of the building.
Seeing that Wang Tianhao was heading in the direction she needed to go, Tang Zi quickly moved forward without saying a word
Hearing He Pengyun mention the abundance of beautiful women, Wang Tianhao felt a surge of excitement. As a well-known CEO, he thought he should meet them himself. After all, the place where He Pengyun worked was also where Tang Zi worked. If he went there, perhaps he could arrange to meet Tang Zi as well, who knows, haha
Looking at Tang Zi's enchanting smile, Wang Tianhao nodded, feeling a tinge of regret. However, who can truly understand matters of fate? Perhaps they will meet again in the future
"Very well, after I left Tianhai back then, I lived abroad with relatives. I only returned in the last two months," Wang Tianhao said. This was merely a casual fabrication; he would not share the true details of his life abroad with He Pengyun, at least not for now.
"Brother Tian, please stop joking with me. It has been ten years. Let's find a place to sit down; I have so much to say to you," He Pengyun said excitedly. Indeed, how could He Pengyun let this opportunity slip away when his best brother suddenly appeared before him after ten years?
Wang Tianhao understood what Tang Zi was saying; at that moment, it was not his true intention, but rather a habitual smile. He really needs to correct this habit in the future, otherwise, beautiful women will have to take a detour when they see him
Subsequently, He Pengyun engaged in conversation with Wang Tianhao about the events that had transpired over the past few years. Wang Tianhao listened attentively by the side, and it was not until 2:00 PM that He Pengyun bid farewell to Wang Tianhao.
"Where is it? Being able to have a full meal is already quite good; discussing income is a distant matter." Wang Tianhao chuckled as he touched his nose, but he had earned 20,000 the night before, haha
Wang Tianhao, who was walking ahead, heard someone calling him from behind. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and turned around to take a look: "Oh, Miss Tang Zi, is there something you need?"
Looking at He Pengyun, who was neatly dressed in a short-haired security uniform, Wang Tianhao laughed and said: "Yunzi, you are not much worse than me; I fear that the number of girls who have been captivated by you over the years could be counted on both hands, haha"
Tang Zi smiled slightly and said, "I work at Hongyi Group." Out of politeness, she still responded to the inquiry, but her tone was not particularly warm
"What is there to be afraid of? I am in charge of the security system. As long as Brother Tian gives the nod, I can start work tomorrow." He Pengyun had a look of eagerness on his face; if Wang Tianhao went, then the time they would spend together would increase significantly.
"Tian Ge, is that really you? I thought I would never see you again. Back when you left, you were only fifteen. Now that you’re back, you’ve grown so handsome. As your younger brother, I feel proud of you, haha," He Pengyun said with some excitement. Back then, at fifteen, they were both in high school and had the closest brotherly relationship. When Wang Tianhao disappeared for ten years due to that incident, seeing him again today was enough to make He Pengyun feel overwhelmed with emotion.
Upon hearing Wang Tianhao's remark, He Pengyun let out a hearty laugh, choosing not to respond. The customer service lady who was brewing tea nearby couldn't help but laugh as well
Brother Tian, do you know? In the ten years since you left, I have missed you every single day to the point of despair! After sitting down, He Pengyun happily shared his feelings from these past ten years
Upon seeing an acquaintance, he naturally approached to greet him. He knocked on the window of the security booth and smiled, saying: "He Pengyun, long time no see, how have you been?"
"Hehe, life abroad is good. Brother Tian, you won't be going back this time, will you?" He Pengyun asked tentatively.
Wang Tianhao smiled slightly and said with some embarrassment: "No, I set up a stall in the suburbs, specializing in applying phone screen protectors. Haha, I hope I didn't make you laugh!"
After a moment of silence, the bus arrived at the platform. Since it was near the back door, as soon as the door opened, Wang Tianhao got off with his backpack, not bothering to look back at Tang Zi even once.
Wang Tianhao nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, since you are being so polite, I will call you Tang Zi!"
Hehe, I have arrived at the company. Tianhao, we will meet again at the picture book. Tang Zi stopped in front of a building approximately thirty stories high and said
After a brief moment of silence, He Pengyun said, "Tian Ge, how have you been over the past ten years?" Originally, He Pengyun had many things he wanted to discuss with Wang Tianhao, but when the time came to meet, he found himself at a loss for words.
Haha, good. Brother, come to the security booth to find me tomorrow morning, and I will take care of the procedures for you. The beautiful women in the company will surely be delighted in the future, with such a handsome security guard like you around. They will be invigorated at work!" He Pengyun said with a laugh, feeling an indescribable joy at the thought of working with Wang Tianhao in the future
Wang Tianhao smiled and nodded. Upon seeing Wang Tianhao's nod, He Pengyun in the pavilion immediately ran out, and upon exiting, opened his arms to embrace Wang Tianhao
Am I allowed to go? You won't get scolded for this, will you? Wang Tianhao has some understanding of companies in Huaxia; some companies do not hire anyone. If you force someone in, the superiors might be displeased and hold the referrer accountable.
Suddenly, He Pengyun's eyes lit up, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground. With a voice that was somewhat trembling yet excited, he said: "You... you are Wang Tianhao?"
Wang Tianhao did not speak, but nodded with a warm smile, saying, "Xiao Zhang, you take a look for a while; I will take my brother out for a stroll." He Pengyun said to his subordinate behind him.
After getting off the car, Tang Zi patted her somewhat suffocated chest, realizing that she had indeed misjudged him. Tang Zi remembered that Wang Tianhao also got off at this platform. Subsequently, she looked around at the intersection and, sure enough, saw a figure not far away; it was Wang Tianhao, who had helped her on the bus.
The young man sitting in the security booth saw Wang Tianhao greeting him, and he was momentarily puzzled. Since the other party had mentioned his name, he could be certain that the other person knew him. He Pengyun was taken aback for a moment, trying hard to search his memory for any information about the man outside the window.
Haha, with a brother saying this, I can rest assured, I'm off. " Wang Tianhao said as he raised his teacup and drank it all, exchanging a smile with He Pengyun
"I won't anymore. Perhaps I will travel when I have some free time. My home is in Tianhai, and there are many beautiful women in Tianhai as well, haha," Wang Tianhao said with a wicked smile.
"Well, I'll call you Tianhao. Let's chat as we walk; my workplace is just a short distance ahead." Seeing that Wang Tianhao was unfazed by the earlier incident, Tang Zi said with some happiness.
After bidding farewell to He Pengyun, Wang Tianhao planned to inform Li Zilong about this matter, as Li Zilong was the first friend he had made upon returning. Since he would no longer be setting up a stall, it was necessary to notify him. However, he was unable to reach him by phone despite several attempts. After some thought, he decided not to pursue it further, believing he could inform him later.
"Hmm, Tianhao, where do you work? Is it nearby as well?" Tang Zi said while walking and looking at Wang Tianhao. Since she hadn't taken a good look earlier, now that she did, she found Wang Tianhao incredibly handsome.
"Alright, work well. If fate allows, we will meet again. Today, if we happen to encounter each other, how about I help you change your phone screen protector?" Wang Tianhao said softly. In fact, his intention was not merely to offer help, but rather to obtain Tang Zi's phone number. Thus, he made this suggestion, hoping that when Tang Zi took out her phone, he could quickly change the protector and conveniently ask for her number, achieving a win-win situation.
Wang Tianhao nodded and did not continue speaking. The other party's response clearly indicated a desire to end the conversation. Given the current location, he could not afford to appear too aggressive.
Just now, Tang Zi saw the building of Hongyi Group from the car, and then decided to act aloof, refraining from continuing the conversation with Tang Zi. Indeed, his aloofness proved effective.
