Chapter 29

While handling the transfer and registration procedures, Ye Qing was busy until a little past eleven.

Striving for his own career, Ye Qing was full of energy and didn't know what it meant to be tired.

Just as he was about to drive to the building materials market to purchase a large amount of materials to renovate the old shipyard, his newly bought iPhone 6S suddenly rang with a pleasant ringtone.

It was a call from Zhang Zhitong. She said she had reserved a spot at Chen's in Caiyi Street and would arrive in about ten minutes.

Caiyi Street is a characteristic ancient street in Zhongyun, and it is also the top choice for tourists visiting Zhongyun. Many specialty snacks and old-established restaurants are located there.

Time flies when you're busy, and Ye Qing had completely forgotten about Zhang Zhitong's invitation to dinner.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was in the city center and could get there in about twenty minutes.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zhitong had proactively lent him 3,000 yuan in an emergency last time, Ye Qing wouldn't want to have anything to do with her again.

Junior high school was the age when boys and girls began to develop romantic feelings and enter adolescence.

At that stage, students' self-esteem was at its strongest.

Because of one word from Zhang Zhitong, Ye Qing was ostracized and isolated by his classmates for a whole month, and he even got into a fight. At the time, he even thought about cutting Zhang Zhitong.

After that, for the entire five years of their school life, Ye Qing didn't speak to her a single word.

Now, after so many years in society, he didn't bear a grudge, but he definitely had some feelings about continuing to be friends.

"I wonder if she'll still recognize me..." On the way to Caiyi Street, Ye Qing was somewhat absent-minded.

After graduating from junior high school, although they attended the same high school, they were in different classes. Even when they occasionally ran into each other, Ye Qing ignored her.

She went to the provincial capital of Liaoning to study at the prestigious Criminal Police Academy, so they naturally didn't see each other.

In Ye Qing's memory, Zhang Zhitong was tall and had a face that could cause trouble, so she shouldn't be hard to recognize.

With some anticipation, Ye Qing drove the minivan onto Caiyi Bridge, preparing to turn left into the parking lot when the construction on both sides of the road suddenly caught his attention.

In fact, almost everyone's attention was drawn to the construction site, as it was surrounded by a large number of tourists and passersby, who were taking photos with their phones and cameras.

If it weren't for the specialized engineering vehicles nearby, Ye Qing would have thought that a big star like Xu Ninggong was holding a book signing on the side of the road!

Quickly parking the minivan, Ye Qing also joined the crowd to see what was happening.

Two construction teams were replacing the curbstones, which were the stone-carved curbstones that Ye Qing had introduced.

Who had ever seen curbstones with exquisite maidens carved on them?

Moreover, there were thousands of them, and many tourists from other places were taking crazy photos. Some even leaned against the piles of curbstones that hadn't been laid yet, taking selfies and immediately posting them on their social media.

Laymen look for excitement, while experts look for the details.

Some people who might be in the advertising or mechanical processing industries stuck to the construction workers like glue, asking what kind of machine was used to process these curbstones.

The workers, who didn't know anything about it, were so annoyed by the questions that they rudely told them to go to the city construction bureau and ask the leaders.

"What's your attitude? I just asked what machine was used to carve the curbstones. Why are you being so aggressive?" A young man with a punkish look and a cigarette in his mouth was furious.

"So what if I'm aggressive? Are you going to bite me?" A muscular worker, who could carry a curbstone under one arm, approached him: "Get lost, don't get in my way."

What a coincidence!

Ye Qing recognized this young man, who had a fierce exterior but a timid interior. He was Qian Xiaomeng, who had clashed with Ye Qing at the Jiangshan Stone Factory in the hospital a few times.

It was really a coincidence to run into him on Caiyi Street. If it weren't for Zhang Zhitong's dinner invitation, Ye Qing might have kicked him a few times.

This guy, who worked in stone carving, naturally understood better than ordinary people the significant impact that a machine capable of mass-producing and quickly and cheaply carving stones would have on the market.

"Once my machine is ready, I'll shut down the Jiangshan Stone Factory first."

Ye Qing hid nearby and chuckled. It seemed the curbstones were a good advertisement, attracting so many tourists' attention even before the work was completed.

If the main roads were all paved with these curbstones with various exquisite patterns...

His metal rapid engraving machine would surely sell like crazy.

The blueprints were already drawn up, and he just needed to buy a few processing machines to start manufacturing the engraving machine and make a lot of money.

The cost of one machine, Ye Qing estimated, was around 50,000 yuan. He would set the price at 500,000 yuan per machine, and if you wanted to buy it, you could; if not, too bad.

Hehe~

While daydreaming, Ye Qing felt someone lightly tap his shoulder from behind.

Turning around suddenly, Ye Qing was stunned.

A short-haired, pretty girl, at least 1.7 meters tall, was looking at Ye Qing with a slight smile.

Ye Qing looked at her in surprise for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "Zhang Zhitong?"

"You didn't recognize me at first glance!" The short-haired girl raised her eyebrows in a manly way: "Strictly speaking, we haven't seen each other for four years, and I recognized you right away!"

"You used to have long hair," Ye Qing didn't know how to respond, as he had always regarded Zhang Zhitong as a class enemy during school.

"You haven't changed at all, you're still the same as I remember." Zhang Zhitong extended her white, tender hand generously: "Long time no see, old classmate!"

"Long time no see!"

With Zhang Zhitong's graciousness, Ye Qing naturally wouldn't be petty and shook her hand heartily.

With short hair, Zhang Zhitong had a more manly air than in junior high school. Wearing a tight brown leather jacket that accentuated her fiery figure, she left Ye Qing in awe.

She was even more beautiful and had more grace than before.

Ye Qing didn't say much, but Zhang Zhitong seemed very happy. Perhaps Ye Qing's willingness to come at her invitation was the best reward for her.

After all, that incident back then deeply hurt Ye Qing and made Zhang Zhitong feel extremely guilty, which she still couldn't forget.

Men have self-esteem, and women, especially beautiful women, have even more.

Zhang Zhitong's willingness to read an apology letter in front of the whole class showed how determined she was to make amends for the harm she had caused Ye Qing.

Now everything was in the past. Just by shaking hands with Ye Qing, she felt a sense of "burying the hatchet" spreading between them.

"These curbstones are very beautiful, not inferior to the stone carvings on Caiyi Bridge. I even took several photos," Zhang Zhitong turned around, flicking a corner of her clothes and also stirring the hearts of the surrounding rough men.

"Yes, I heard the city construction bureau plans to replace the main roads with these curbstones." Ye Qing moved his gaze with difficulty: "Let's go, didn't you reserve a spot at Chen's?"

"Let's go, I'll buy you a drink!" Zhang Zhitong made a graceful gesture.

"Phew~ If you had said you were buying drinks, I wouldn't have driven."

"Wow, you're doing well, even with a car." Zhang Zhitong looked at Ye Qing with a smile: "You're dressed very stylishly, a CK suit, a brand name."

"Then why were you so eager to borrow money in the class group a few days ago? I thought you were in trouble. I transferred the money to you as soon as I received my salary."

"The minivan is just for deliveries, it's not much of a car." The two walked and chatted: "I did encounter some difficulties a few days ago, but fortunately, I got through them and even made a lot of money."

"That's even more reason to celebrate with drinks!" Zhang Zhitong, walking ahead, turned lightly and smiled at Ye Qing: "Let's drink white wine to celebrate you overcoming your difficulties and moving towards the peak of your life. Leave the car there and come back for it later."

"Okay!" Ye Qing straightened his collar and prepared to go all out.

Since he had decided to forgive her, he would show the magnanimity of a man. Being petty wasn't the way to go.
