A life of financial freedom

Chu Fang raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence."

Following the voice, Shao Bowen was seen running over quickly, his face lacking the seriousness of their last meeting, instead displaying a bright smile.

Shao Bowen naturally noticed Chu Fang as well, surprised by his presence. Suppressing his surprise, he addressed Qin Jun, "Young Master Qin."

"Haven't I already said that there is no possibility of cooperation between us?" Qin Jun spoke with a tone that kept people at arm's length.

"Our cooperation is a win-win situation, beneficial to both you and me," Shao Bowen snapped his fingers. "Let my secretary give you a detailed introduction to our cooperation plan. After you hear it, you will definitely change your mind."

A woman emerged from behind Shao Bowen, a wine-red, tight-fitting cheongsam hugging her figure, revealing her curves. Her jade legs were faintly visible beneath the high-slit hem.

Her wavy hair cascaded down, accentuating her fair skin. Her eyes were full of charm, her narrow eyes seeming to hold endless allure, captivating the soul.

Her high heels clicked on the ground, filling the air with fragrance, drawing everyone's attention.

"Young Master Qin..." the cheongsam woman's voice was delicate, like the song of an oriole, "Let me explain our cooperation to you."

As soon as this cheongsam woman appeared, Qin Jun's eyes lit up. He had originally intended to put on an act, but he stammered, "Uh..."

"Just give this little woman some face. How can you bear to refuse me..."

Qin Jun succumbed to the woman's charms, and the cheongsam woman led him to a nearby spot to discuss the cooperation plan.

Shao Bowen went straight to sit in front of Chu Fang, "I didn't expect you to be competing with my company. You almost succeeded. I've changed my opinion of you. You're also very capable in business, qualified to be on equal footing with me."

If he had arrived any later, and the contract had been signed, Shao Bowen's company would have lost in this competition.

"Don't mention it. I'm just a hands-off manager in the company. This cooperation was facilitated by my subordinates," Chu Fang shrugged. "Just treat me as a good-for-nothing."

He was quite unaccustomed to Shao Bowen speaking in this manner.

Shao Bowen raised his head and looked at Kang Bo, "Excellent judge of character, picking such a capable subordinate is also very impressive."

"That's reasonable," Chu Fang nodded.

"But I ultimately won this competition," Shao Bowen crossed his legs, looking somewhat smug.

To this, Chu Fang shrugged, "Until the moment the contract is signed, who knows who the final victor will be?"

Shao Bowen chuckled, "I quite like your never-give-up spirit, just like when I was young."

"No, no, no..." Chu Fang quickly retorted, "I'm different from you. I'm a human, and you're a robot who doesn't even care about family. There's a fundamental difference between us."

Their words were like needles and wheat, neither willing to yield.

Before long, the cheongsam woman walked over, arm in arm with Qin Jun, who looked at Chu Fang and said, "I'm sorry, President Chu, I need to reconsider our cooperation. I'm very sorry, please forgive me."

After speaking, Qin Jun, the cheongsam woman, and their group of employees left.

Shao Bowen smiled happily, "It's alright. Next time the kindergarten holds a parent-child activity, President Chu will still be radiant, while I'll just be a nobody, not comparable to President Chu."

Watching the scene of Qin Jun and the cheongsam woman flirting, Chu Fang thought of a saying: If a man cannot control his little head, then it is no longer his little head, but his big head.

Qin Jun ultimately let his little head control his big head, overturning the cooperation with Fangzheng Investment in an instant.

Regarding Shao Bowen's actions, he could only say that he was indeed an old fox, with endless schemes and tricks.

Kang Bo slowly retracted his gaze and asked, "President Chu, what should we do next?"

"Let it cool!" Chu Fang glanced at the time. It was almost three in the afternoon. "I need to pick up the kids. We'll talk tomorrow."

Then, he stretched lazily and left.

Kang Bo remained in place, pondering for a few seconds. He seemed to understand something.

His boss and Shao Bowen had some kind of conflict or disagreement, which was why their words were so fiery.

Subsequently, an interesting expression appeared on Kang Bo's face, and he muttered to himself, "We'll talk tomorrow..."

Since getting married, Chu Fang had rarely come to the company and wouldn't say things like 'We'll talk tomorrow.' Since he said it, then he must be coming to the company tomorrow, definitely to handle this matter personally.

It was obvious that Qin Jun was leaning towards choosing Shao Bowen's company. What kind of method would his boss use to compete?

Kang Bo was very curious.

"This is getting interesting."

... ...

Chu Fang drove slowly to the kindergarten.

Many children walked out under the guidance of their teachers. Seeing Chu Fang, Chu Jin was extremely happy and ran over quickly, her little schoolbag bouncing on her back, "Daddy~~~"

"Hey, good daughter," Chu Fang caught his daughter and pinched her cheek. "Were you well-behaved at kindergarten?"

"Yes, I was," Chu Jin nodded.

"So good."

Chu Zhiye also walked over slowly, "If you consider imitating adults to give other children lessons, assigning tasks, and bossing them around as being well-behaved, then you were indeed quite well-behaved."

Chu Jin frowned, "Chu! Zhi! Ye!"

Just then, Shao Xiang passed by. Chu Jin waved and greeted, "Shao Xiang."

Shao Xiang ignored her, lowered his head, and headed towards his mother, got into the car, and then the car started and eventually disappeared from view.

Chu Jin pouted, "What's with the attitude? I'm never playing with you again."

"What's wrong with Shao Xiang?" Chu Fang hugged his daughter, asking in confusion.

Someone who used to wish he could be his son-in-law, why was he so cold today?

"I don't know," Chu Jin shook her head. "Shao Xiang was alone all day today, not talking to anyone, just like a mute."

Chu Fang pondered for a few seconds, then slowly exhaled.

"Let's go home."

Then he drove his two children home. Once they got home, Chu Jin ran around the villa like crazy, while Chu Zhiye carried a stool and sat in the middle of the yard to read.

Chu Fang put his hands behind his back and strolled towards the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden was full of vegetables, lotus roots, pumpkins, radishes... ...

Tonight, he planned to cook himself.

Night fell, and Chu Fang prepared dinner: braised beef brisket with potatoes, spicy stir-fry, garlic phoenix claws, scallion pancakes, filling the table with food.

"Mr. Chu, you are amazing," Aunt Li couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the table of food.

She had seen many wealthy people, but she had never seen anyone who could independently make so many dishes, and every dish was delicious.

"Just messing around," Chu Fang smiled.

Then the Chu family sat down to eat. Chu Jin was the happiest, eating with her mouth full of oil, giving a thumbs up, "Daddy, the food you make is so delicious."

"Don't just eat meat, eat vegetables too," Zhong Tingyue ladled a bowl of okra and tofu soup for her daughter.

The green okra and tofu were simmered together, the soup being delicious.

Chu Jin's features twisted together, "Mom, I don't like eating okra, it's like snot."

Chu Jin was a foodie, willing to try a few bites of anything, but she particularly disliked okra, and every time she ate okra, it was a torturous experience for her.

Zhong Tingyue said, "Children shouldn't be picky eaters, look at Chu Zhiye."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Chu Zhiye bite into a piece of okra, and then swallow it whole without chewing. After swallowing, he even retched a few times.

Chu Fang asked, "Chu Zhiye, is it delicious?"

Chu Zhiye said faintly, "Would you believe me if I said it was delicious?"

Chu Fang laughed very happily.
