s talk about it again after a few days," he said.Su Cen was taken aback, "Which place are you talking about"Lin Guozhou was also surprised for a moment and then his voice dropped slightly, "Of course,...Chapter 130: Too Bad

I shrugged. I made such a silly mistake. On "The Chapter That Was Supposed to Be Published Didn't Get Released."

Zhao Xiaopao, who joined the Su Cen family on their mountain hike, is in his second year at the College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the Central University of Nationalities. When he was in Xi Hai, he used to live next door to Zeng Na's family in the government compound. The two families had a very good relationship. Later, when the old government courtyard was demolished for redevelopment, both families moved into new housing built by the construction bureau. Zhao Xiaowei's family later transferred to Chengdu, and they still keep in touch. They all joked that if either Zeng Na or Zhao Xiaowei got married, no matter how far apart they lived, everyone would attend.

Now that they are both in Chengdu, their relationship is closer than ever before. Zhao Lu's father is a section chief at the provincial government office, which doesn't seem like much in Chengdu.

Tao Chuhong is someone whom Zhao Xiaowei’s villa-dwelling friend often curses about. Her friend's best friend was once abandoned by Tao Chuhong, so all girls could unite against him. However, sometimes Zhao Xiaowei feels she can't fully integrate into their circle because they consider men who abandon women to be evil and regard playing with others’ emotions as emotional investment. But the fact that Tao Chuhong has harmed many women is undeniable. Among guys, he's seen as a tough guy not to mess with, while girls see him as a heartbreaker.

However, whether it’s "Nanning Group" or "Vice Mayor Tao Changping," these terms mean more to Zhao Xiaowei and seem unattainably far away.

The mountain hike today gave Zhao Lu a lot of information. For example, Zeng Quaming was the main person behind that recent incident involving the NDRC in the news. And this Tao Changping character turned out to be someone they passed by on their way up and down the mountain without even noticing him. But what most interested Zhao Xiaowei was Su Cen; he was the one who recently smashed Tao Chuhong’s car. This story had spread widely, and probably the women hurt by Tao Chuhong would cheer for it purely because they were glad to see Tao Chuhong suffer.

However, looking at Su Cen, Zhao Lu couldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary young man who appeared no different from those in an office could be the one brave enough to smash Tao Chuhong's car.

So during their hike, Zhao Xiaowei often talked about Su Cen with Zeng Na. When faced with teasing questions like "Su Cen, do you have any manners You didn't help a lagging girl," she would blush and not refute it.

Later, when they were coming down the mountain, someone called them. Zhao Lu and Zeng Na got their driver's licenses last year and took the same car ride. There were two other guys and one girl in the car, all around Zhao Xiaowei’s age. They had been in touch since getting their licenses. The call was from those two guys and the girl; they said their car was at the foot of the mountain and that everyone should meet up to go out together after coming down.

Two cars entering the expressway from the third ring road in the city district to reach Qingshan are a Mazda Ee and a Volkswagen Jetta. After arriving, a couple got out of the Mazda while a single man came out of the other car; all of them were in their early twenties.

The male in the couple is named Chen Kefan, reportedly studying at Civil Aviation Flight University where he has already signed an agreement with Sichuan Airlines. After completing the theory phase for advanced training aircraft and flying a certain number of hours during day and night flights later this year, he will graduate directly to work as a pilot. His family background is also in high-ranking positions within airlines. This made Zeng Na gush a little when talking about it; she couldn't help but fantasize a bit because pilots are rare talents who not only have excellent benefits but mostly look handsome, and even her sister Zeng Na couldn't resist daydreaming.

The girl is Ning Jiaojiao, a student at Chengdu University with a comfortable family background. The two can be described as a good match. The other man named Yue Run is also very handsome and a student at Civil Aviation Flight University too. Su Can then understood why his sister seemed unusually excited when mentioning they were coming over.

Indeed, it's the effect of handsome men!

This made Su Can worry for Dusi from UESTC who currently pursues Zeng Na.

The three greeted Zeng Na and Zhao Xiaowei. Ning Jiaojiao, wearing a pink one-piece dress with black stockings, scrutinized Su Can carefully, her eyes brightening as she found him particularly attractive despite having seen many handsome men before.

Chen Kefan was slightly envious; seeing Ning Jiaojiao looking at Su Can made him unhappy. He couldn't guess who Su Can was, but Zeng Na introduced him first: "This is my brother."

Chen Kefan nodded and didn't pry further: "Shall we go to Jiuliti for a drink Should we head straight to Four... tonight, or should we go to Starlight or Haoke Disco"

His phone rang again. He answered and said into the receiver, "Yeah, we're at Qingshan right now. Come over immediately; hah, yeah. It's my treat— do you still think that’s not enough My mom just gave me a card with a ten-thousand-yuan overdraft limit. Is that okay"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Kefan smiled at everyone: "A friend of mine, son of the city's National Security Bureau director. He heard there was an event today and thinks it’s boring staying with his family, so he wants to come over." Glancing towards Su Can, he added, “There are already plenty of people here anyway.”

It seemed targeted, Su Cen could sense something. Ning Jiaojiao leaned against the car window, smiling at Su Cen as if she didn't mind adding a bit more fuel to Chen Kefan's jealousy.

Zheng Na was actually watching Chen Kefan and Su Cen with an amused smile on her face. She felt that both girls showing interest in Su Cen implied that this little brother of hers wasn't so bad after all.

Yue Lun was engrossed in playing with his mobile phone, not interested in the petty squabbling over a love rival, seeming rather aloof and haughty.

Zheng Na then smiled at Chen Kefan, "So, are you planning to treat us today Did you receive your allowance"

Chen Kefan responded modestly, "Not really. My weekly allowance is only four thousand yuan. The credit card was given to me just in case I didn't have cash on hand. Whatever I use will still need to be repaid." Although he was being humble, there was an unmistakable sense of superiority.

He roughly knew that Zheng Na came from a cadre family as well, but wasn't too clear about the specifics. However, she certainly didn't come from any high-ranking official's family; her status couldn't surpass his best friend's. So he deliberately flaunted the fact that he was the son of a bureau chief earlier to impress others and gauge Su Cen's standing. He presumed Su Cen was just an ordinary young man. By casually dropping these hints, he likely expected Su Cen to be more reserved in front of him today.

"Then should we inform your family that we're leaving" Chen Kefan asked Zheng Na; Yue Lun had already climbed into his Volkswagen Jetta and was starting the engine.

Yu Jiaojiao showed a special interest towards Su Cen. She opened the rear car door, turned around with a smile, "Would you like to ride in our car"

Chen Kefan glanced at Su Cen again during this moment and thought that it wouldn't hurt for them all to hang out together since they were going anyway. Though he wasn't exactly happy about the extra person, he didn't want to be overly obvious, so he extended his hand toward Su Cen, "Chen Kefan."

Su Cen shook hands with him.

"Su Cen" Chen Kefan pondered over this name and hesitated in releasing the handshake for a moment, looking puzzled as he lifted his head. Ning Jiaojiao's hand paused at the edge of the car door, her eyes immediately focusing on Su Cen.

Even Ye Run, who had been acting cool and indifferent since the beginning, sitting inside his car at this moment, looked out through the window but could only see Su Can's side face, yet it still caught his attention.

Su Can. These two words, unless you have been extremely isolated from society recently, any first or second-tier social circles would not be unfamiliar with this name.

Su Can withdrew his hand from Chen Kefan's grip and turned to Zeng Na, saying, "I won't go then. Have fun, big sister. Come back early and don’t stay out too late."

Su Can roughly understood why the people around him were acting dazedly. However, he didn’t have the intention of further deepening his relationship with these individuals.

He is Su Can Chen Kefan swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly in his heart. Is he that Su Can who made the notoriously wealthy Tao Chuhong suffer a loss The incident that occurred on Guojing Road this winter spread like an epidemic within this gray social circle, and it’s likely that news about Tao Chuhong being ambushed in Chengdu had spread quickly. Whether those who disliked him or people from his own social circles were all talking about how stupid it was for him to have bitten off more than he could chew.

Tao Chuhong wasn’t lacking in intelligence, having independently started a company and achieving two million yuan in sales, which earned his father's recognition. Subsequently, he took on the role of general manager at three crucial subsidiaries under Nanning Group. This year, his name was frequently seen in media reports about Nanning Group, all indicating that this young man wasn’t unintelligent. However, he got a taste of revenge from someone called Su Can, which directly affected the massive Nanning Group behind him, becoming a topic of ridicule among many people.

But Chen Kefan wasn't as weak to let his agitation linger, quickly suppressing it and smiling at Su Can, yet clearly showing the change in attitude. "No problem. If there's another chance next time, we can hang out together. Since we all know each other now."

This statement didn’t show any respect but swiftly left a way out: since they all knew each other now, if someone wants to contact Su Can or through his sister in the future, there will be opportunities for everyone to hang out together.

“Alright.” Su Can naturally understood Chen Kefan’s meaning. His response was equally indifferent, clearly showing a lack of interest. There was no need for him to wear any mask towards these people. If he had to put on an act all the time, it would be too exhausting; his true self is how he acts.

Chen Kefan paused in his heart, although displeased with Su Can's attitude, but there was no way around it. The guy was powerful after all, and without him smashing Tao Chuhong’s car to make him suffer such a loss and still outshine him, Chen Kefan wouldn’t be able to speak like this either.k down some slowly packed bags from atop her wardrobe for Tang Wu, containing clothes she had worn during his high school days even.
