Chapter 32: The Person to Be

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Cantonese restaurant on the second floor of the Xili Lake Resort Hotel provided morning tea. It was close to noon, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was still leisurely.

Cao Su took the phone and unlocked the screen. When he saw the WeChat message from Su Shijia, he was delighted.

The Su family flower was indeed an interesting beauty. She knew the meaning of “rush” and seduced him with this message. She was obedient, gentle, sensible, and doting when she was with him.

Other than the happiness brought by her identity as the department belle in her youth, he could also deeply experience the mature charm of a beautiful 30-year-old woman.

He couldn’t help but think of the eternal technical topic of the old geezer: Which was better, a young girl or a thirty-year-old woman?

Cao Su placed his phone on the round table covered with a white tablecloth and said shamelessly, “Jingying, I’m sorry, this is a private message.”

“Even if I’m not embarrassed, others might.”

After speaking, he saw Song Jingying’s pretty face flush, making her look even more charming and beautiful. She was looking at him with a speechless expression, so he could only change the topic.

“Actually, Jiajia and I talked about ‘Gold’ last night.”

Song Jingying was a top graduate from the Chinese Department of Beijing University and had naturally read the famous novel “Gold” during her university days. She subconsciously commented, “President Cao, read Gold. Those who have compassion are Bodhisattvas, and those who have fear are gentlemen. Those who have a heart of joy are villains; those who have a heart of imitation are animals!”

F*ck!

Cao Su was not interested in being beaten into a beast. He put away his intention to joke with her and said, “Jingying, when you judge a person’s character based on what you think while reading a book, there’ll be a problem with the logic itself!

“The law did not support it. Zhang San said that he was going to bomb the police station, but he didn’t carry it out. This could only be considered a joke! Since ancient times, one’s heart has always been the only thing that mattered.

“I read for two hours the day before yesterday as a pastime. A sentence in the book left a deep impression on me: Who is not fascinated by these three things of the world: Power, Property, and Good Food? What do you think of this?”

Song Jingying looked at Cao Su with her big, bright eyes, having completely no idea what to say.

First, what did it mean to judge one’s actions without considering one’s heart? The problem now was that he did it with a married female classmate.

She had registered her yesterday afternoon, so she naturally had an impression of his classmate’s name. Su Shijia was the prettiest girl in their university. She was a beautiful young woman but wore a wedding ring on her ring finger.

Secondly, the comments she had just recited were indeed a little overboard. No matter what she was thinking, there was no reason to accuse President Cao of being a beast.

Now, President Cao’s “counterattack” had arrived! He did not let her off just because she was a beauty.

It was obvious that the following conversation would be filled with language traps.

“President Cao, there are two meanings to this sentence. The so-called Shi Cai Hong Fen Ge Restaurant referred to money, beautiful women, good wine, and delicacies. Who in the world would not be confused and attracted by these three things? Therefore, Zhang Sheng loved Xue Er.

“The second meaning is that only by not being confused and attracted by these three things would one be a true expert!”

Cao Su drank a mouthful of tea and asked, “Then how do you think you can reach the second level?”

“President Cao, there’s actually an answer in the book,” Song Jingying replied. “Damage to the body, harming life, being more delicate, don’t miss this, nourishing the Dantian, and those who have few desires will live a long life.”

“Cao Su smiled and happily ate the shrimp dumplings. “This is what I don’t agree with. I’m a simple man who likes money, beauties, and delicious food! If I wanted to quit all these pleasures, what fun would there be in life?

“Even if a secular person had a pure heart and few desires and lived a long life, he cannot be called an expert. What’s the difference between a real man doing nothing and rotten wood and grass?

“For example, Cao Cao loved wine and beauties all his life, but it didn’t affect his achievements and historical evaluation. He defeated the Yellow Turban Army, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Yuan Shao, went deep into the north of the Great Wall, reached Liaodong, and dominated the world. He didn’t let down the ambition of a real man!

“Therefore, when evaluating a person, one should never use his lifespan or his reading of Gold. One should see what he had done for this nation!

“Being greedy and lecherous is just a small part of it. The key is that it cannot affect the proper business. It is a pity that the emperor would perish because of this, and it is a pity that the generals and generals would destroy the state. That’s a crime punishable by death!

“As the saying goes, a real man’s ambition should be like the Yangtze River that flows east to the sea!”

Song Jingying, the classically intellectual woman, silently picked up her delicate teacup and sipped on her tea. President Cao had already uttered the words of a maestro. What else could she say?

Of course, those who were famous would read the history books! No one would look at the small fry. There were no records of them, even if he wanted to see them.

In other words, she was now rendered speechless by President Cao’s counterattack.

Cao Su smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He stood up and said, “Eat slowly. I’ll wait for you downstairs. In addition, Su Shijia is divorced.”

He knew that Song Jingying would think he was bragging, but that was what he really thought!

He had once read “King.” After reading it, Cao Su believed that he would definitely not quit! The sage said that when you are young, your blood and qi are unstable, so you should be cautious about your appearance. He was already in his thirties. The important thing was to make a career out of it so that he could live up to his life!

In particular, he had the support of the Godly Tycoon System.

Therefore, his main goal now was to find a way out. It was not to cultivate one’s character and suppress one’s desires, but to follow one’s heart in order to make one’s thoughts clear and push one’s career to the peak!

To be able to realize all the boastful things; that would really be awesome!

Only then would he become the true God of the world!

Song Jingying stared blankly as Cao Su’s tall, well-crafted figure disappeared from the restaurant’s entrance. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to call out to him, but she didn’t make a sound in the end. For a moment, her thoughts were a little complicated.

She believed that Cao Su would not lie to her about something that could be verified.

So, she was the one who ‘stirred up trouble?’

Uh…

Cao Su was sitting in the hall on the first floor, replying to the message on his phone. Su Shijia came first, followed by Lu Zi’s WeChat message.

Da Lan Corporation was a single company. It was Sunday, and the gentle, fair, and fierce beauty was resting in the dormitory. However, when she found out that he was having a class reunion, she said, “Brother Cao, are you busy? I’m fine.”

“Little Zi, I’ll treat you to a meal at the company in two days.”

After chatting for a while, Song Jingying walked out of the elevator in her high heels and said calmly, “President Cao, I’m done.”

They were both adults. Even if she knew she had made a mistake, she could not specifically apologize to him. Her opinion of him naturally turned positive.

Cao Su nodded slightly and ordered, “Jingying, I’ve called a designated driver. You can hand over the car to her here, and she’ll drive my car back to the hotel. I’ll walk back.”

“…” Song Jingying was confused.

Cao Su gently smiled and waved his hand. He told the intellectually beautiful young woman, “Jingying, it has nothing to do with you. This is my own training plan.”

He was in his thirties and had been practicing traditional arts too much, so his body was very weak. However, he had been exercising in the hotel gym daily this week.

Together with Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying, the two real estate agents, he had been running around looking at and buying houses, and his bodies had recovered to a certain extent. His little belly was now gone.

There was also the “age-reducing fruit” that he had consumed this morning. He was confident he could complete [Main Mission 1] and walk ten kilometers without stopping.

It was time to level up!
