Chapter 500: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (23)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Twenty-three)
The train ride lasted nearly a day and a night, but Song Ning did not feel as uncomfortable as he had imagined.
Lance, who took him to Taipei City, seemed to have made various preparations in advance. No matter whether he was sleepy, hungry, thirsty or bored, Lance had a plan for all of them.
But even so, the inconvenience of washing in the car still made Song Ning feel uncomfortable.
Normally, he didn't have to take a shower every day before, but since he moved in with Lance, Lance's habit of taking a shower twice a day, sometimes more often, has had some influence on him.
In addition, now that she and Lance have established a relationship, Song Ning actually still cares a lot about her image in front of Lance.
So when he heard Lance say that they were almost there, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Finally got over it.
"Go wash up and get ready to get off."
Lance gave up his seat, and Song Ning nodded and squeezed through the crowd.
It was almost time to get off the bus and there were not many people in the restroom. He washed himself carefully and the sticky feeling on his body was no longer so severe.
When he came out, the train had just arrived. Song Ning got off the station first and waited for Lance outside the door.
The train was crowded with people, but Song Ning standing there was extremely conspicuous.
Many people who got off the bus couldn't help but look at him again, and some even squinted their eyes and approached Song Ning with ill intentions.
The next second, an extremely tall figure walked down from the train carriage and walked straight towards Song Ning.
The man who had just hunched over and tried to get close to Song Ning looked at the tall man in astonishment, turned around, lowered his hat and walked away.
Shit, where did this bear spirit come from? What did it eat to grow up?
"Lance."
Song Ning went to help Lance share the luggage with a smile. Lance only handed over the food he brought with him and carried a box on each side.
"Give me one. I have the strength too."
Song Ning felt a little embarrassed. He knew that what Lance did was called gentlemanly manners, but he also grew up in the countryside and was not so powerless.
Lance raised an eyebrow, his tone sounding matter-of-fact.
"I know, but I want to show off in front of my boyfriend. Give me a chance?"
What, what, show off in front of your boyfriend? Song Ning's ears turned red when he heard this.
But he still remembered that there were a lot of people at the train station, so he quickly glared at Lance to remind him.
"Don't talk nonsense, there are too many people here."
"No one will care what we are talking about."
As soon as Lance finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and met the eyes of Fang Zhiyuan who wanted to come over to say hello.
Fang Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, then his face turned into one of embarrassment.
He, he didn't want to hear it. When he got off the car, he suddenly thought that Orange might be able to negotiate a business deal with the two brothers. He really didn't expect to hear something he shouldn't hear!
Meeting Lance's eyes that looked like a man-eating beast, Fang Zhiyuan shuddered and raised his hand to swear.
"I promise I won't tell anyone a single word of what I just heard, or I will be childless for the rest of my life!"
Nowadays, people place great importance on continuing the family line, so Fang Zhiyuan's oath can be said to be very serious and sincere.
Lance's fierce look softened a little, and Song Ning came over and touched the back of his hand.
"He has sworn, so let's believe him this time."
He had a pretty good impression of this stranger. Whether it was because he was polite and didn't try to persuade them when failing to buy oranges from them, or because he helped to fight back against the woman who was speaking harshly to them, all of these left a good impression on Song Ning.
However, it's just a good impression.
Song Ning glanced at Fang Zhiyuan, and his eyes suddenly became fierce and full of warning.
"I hope you can remember the oath you swore."
Wow, no wonder these two people are so alike, they can form a pair because both of them are not easy to mess with.
Fang Zhiyuan was thinking about it, and when he saw the two of them were about to leave, he hurriedly chased after them.
"Please wait a moment, I have a business matter I want to discuss with you."
He learned his lesson this time and quickly took out his business card.
"I'm in the wholesale business. My name is Fang Zhiyuan. You two probably don't have a place to stay in Taipei City, right? If you don't mind, my car should be waiting outside soon. I'm quite familiar with Taipei City. I'll find a place for you two to stay when the time comes."
Lance originally wanted to refuse him, but when he turned his head, he saw the fatigue on Song Ning's face.
He hesitated.
Fang Zhiyuan came up to him as soon as he saw an opportunity, "What do you two say?"
Song Ning thought about it, turned his head and asked Lance in a low voice.
"Do you think he can be trusted?"
He felt that it would be better to have someone who was familiar with the local area, but that would be bad if the other party had bad intentions.
Lance looked at the fatigue in his eyes and turned to look at Fang Zhiyuan.
"Lead the way, please."
"Okay, let's go."
Fang Zhiyuan took the two of them out of the train station, and sure enough, a car came to pick him up.
Fang Zhiyuan stepped forward and opened the back door. "You two, please."
Song Ning glanced at Lance and went in first.
Sedans are rare these days, but they are not uncommon in Taipei.
Song Ning was a little uneasy when he first sat in the car, after all, it was his first time riding in a car.
But after sitting for a while he no longer cared about those things because he was carsick.
"uncomfortable?"
Lance had been paying attention, and immediately peeled an unfinished orange for Song Ning when he saw this.
The scent of oranges diluted Song Ning's discomfort, and Fang Zhiyuan, who was sitting in front, couldn't help but speak.
"I didn't expect this little brother to be carsick, but this orange is really a good thing. I wonder where you bought it? Can you introduce it to me, your brother?"
Song Ning subconsciously looked up at him. It turned out that this person was talking about this when he said business.
But for this orange, he turned his head to look at Lance.
Lance's attention was all on Song Ning. Seeing that he seemed less uncomfortable with this matter, he took over the conversation.
"I can't discuss the orange business. I bought it through connections. But if you are interested in fertilizers for growing oranges, we can talk about it later."
Fang Zhiyuan was a little disappointed.
All he wanted to talk about was the orange. Even though he didn't taste the orange, he knew it was the right one just by the aroma and appearance.
No matter how good the fertilizer is, it is only useful if you know how to farm. Why would a businessman like him buy fertilizer?
Although he was disappointed, Fang Zhiyuan still introduced the two to a guesthouse as originally agreed, and took them out for a meal. During the meal, he thought about it and still felt a little unwilling to give up, so he ordered an orange to taste it.
As soon as he tasted it, Fang Zhiyuan knew he was doomed.
"Comrade Lance, is this orange business really off the table?"
This orange is the most delicious one he has ever tasted in his life!
Lance picked out the big bone from the belly of the steamed grouper and put it in Song Ning's bowl, shaking his head.
"We can't talk. If we have to talk, let's talk about the fertilizer business."
Fang Zhiyuan sighed deeply, "What a pity."
