Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Soon, the two of them were chatting while eating, and the whole meal was spent on fooling around.

As a result, until everyone finished eating, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about what excuse he would use to spend money on Deng Lijun.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang's current mentality is relatively optimistic, so he can forget about it and doesn't force it.

Anyway, according to the nature of this system, we may encounter more "harem candidates" in the future and bind them if we have the opportunity, but whether we should implement it or not depends on the situation.

If you bind one and run one, then you don't have to do anything else and you can just pick up girls all day long.

But life is not just about picking up girls, nor is it just about blindly listening to what the system says.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang has discovered long ago that every time the system wants you to do something, it will give generous rewards to induce you to do something.

It is true that the benefits given are indeed good, but if you are just doing tasks and getting benefits, you will really become a puppet of the system.

If you want to be the master of the system, not a puppet, the key is self-control.

Knowing how to give up and refuse appropriately is the only way to be a master.

Now, it might be an opportunity.

"Oh, I'm full and I can't eat anymore."

Teresa Teng smiled playfully, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang: "It's really interesting to chat with you. I'm very glad that I met you, and I'm also very glad that I had the courage to ask you for an autograph. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to talk to you. acknoledged."

Speaking of this, Teresa Teng sighed: "To be honest, I haven't been as happy as I am now for a long time."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled lightly and said: "Okay, I'm going to go out to do some errands next. What about you, what are you going to do?"

Teresa Teng thought for a while and said: "Well, I don't have any good plans. I originally wanted to go out for a walk, but now I'm too thin and a little sleepy. I suddenly want to go back to the room to sleep, hehe."

In response, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Okay, let's just say goodbye."

At this point, Cao Zhiqiang raised his hand and called the waiter to come over and pay.

But at this moment, Teresa Teng suddenly said: "Hey, wait, I'll do it."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and looked at Teresa Deng deliberately with a straight face: "What do you mean by this? Are you afraid that I won't have the money to give you?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Teresa Teng waved her hands quickly, "Don't get me wrong!"

"Then what do you mean?" Cao Zhiqiang continued to ask with a straight face.

Teresa Teng was stunned for a moment: "Well, I just think it's inappropriate for us to rashly ask you to treat us just after we met. At the very least, each person should pay half.

This, if you feel offended, then I apologize to you and say I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean to look down on you, really.

I'm just, I'm just familiar with the way things are done in the United States. "

Cao Zhiqiang suddenly smiled: "Okay, no need to explain, I understand, it's an AA system.

There's no need to panic, I was just joking with you.

In fact, I should be happy to have someone help me with the checkout.

But forget it this time.

After all, this is Xiangjiang, and it is best to follow the rules here.

Here, when men and women eat together, the man usually pays the bill.

So, let me settle the bill this time. You can invite me next time. Didn’t you say so before? "

Teresa Teng smiled awkwardly: "It seems so, hehehe, look at my brain, hehehe."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head again, then raised his hand decisively and called the waiter to come over and pay.

When the waiter came over and Cao Zhiqiang paid the bill by swiping his credit card, he planned to leave.

However, for some unknown reason, Teresa Teng unexpectedly followed him and walked side by side with him.

There were many people in the restaurant before, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything.

After leaving the restaurant and reaching the elevator entrance, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but ask: "Why are you still following me?"

"Forehead……"

Teresa Teng was obviously taken aback, but she quickly said with a smile: "No, I'm just here to take the elevator, I don't want to follow you."

Cao Zhiqiang thought so and nodded: "I see, I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive."

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened, and Cao Zhiqiang turned around and saw that many people were already standing in the elevator.

But the most surprising thing is one of the very familiar faces.

"Brother Cheng Long?" Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously opened his mouth.

Yes, at this moment, at the front of the group of people in the elevator, stood a young man who was not tall and looked very enthusiastic and candid. He was none other than the famous superstar at home and abroad, Jack Chen!

That's right, at least before Cao Zhiqiang traveled through his previous life, if any Chinese star could be famous both at home and abroad and received the most recognition from foreigners, it would probably be Cheng Long and Chen Gangsheng.

Before him, although there was Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee passed away too early and had too few works. Strictly speaking, his international influence was not very great.

The only person who can truly represent the image of the Chinese and have international influence is Cheng Long.

No matter what his reputation is later, no matter how many women he has, how many affairs he has, or how many ridiculous things he has said, such as saying that he is half Korean, nothing can erase his international status. With influence.

Of course, what interests Cao Zhiqiang the most is his relationship with Teresa Teng.

In his previous life, Cheng Long once revealed that he had been in love with Teresa Teng once.

Unfortunately, it was only Cheng Long's one-sided statement, so I don't know whether it is true or false.

Well now, I finally have a chance to verify it.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang raised the corners of his mouth and stared at Cheng Long's face.

Sure enough, when Cheng Long discovered Cao Zhiqiang and Deng Lijun, he was immediately stunned. He was chatting and laughing with a group of good brothers behind him, but he suddenly stopped talking.

Not only was he silent, the group of brothers behind him, or members of the family class, each one at this time, also stopped talking, and they all stared at one person.

That person is naturally not Cao Zhiqiang, but Teresa Deng.

Cao Zhiqiang turned his head slightly to look, and sure enough, Deng Lijun's face turned pale at this time, biting her lips, avoiding eye contact with Cheng Long, and subconsciously retreating.

It was obvious that the two knew each other, and there was something going on between them.

"Ajun? Why are you here?" Cheng Long suddenly walked out and said to Teresa Deng.

Teresa Deng didn't answer, but shook her head vigorously. Then she realized that retreating like this was not an option, so she suddenly ran to Cao Zhiqiang and directly took Cao Zhiqiang's arm.

It seemed that after putting on Cao Zhiqiang's arm, Teresa Teng finally gained some courage.

After taking a deep breath, Teresa Deng faced Cheng Long's gaze, her face turned pale, and she said with a cold expression: "Sorry, you are not familiar with me, don't call me that!"

"Ah..." Cheng Long opened his mouth, but finally did not call Ajun out.

Soon, Cheng Long adjusted his mood and forced a smile. Then he looked at Cao Zhiqiang and asked Deng Lijun: "Hey, this young man is a bit unfamiliar. Who are you?" "He is my boyfriend." ." Teresa Teng said with a straight face.

"Ah? Boyfriend?" Cheng Long was stunned again.

Cao Zhiqiang was also a little embarrassed, but because Teresa Teng was holding his arm at this time and leaning close to him, Cao Zhiqiang noticed the trembling on Teresa Teng's body. Knowing that she was nervous, he did not expose her.

Forget it, if you are being used as a shield, just use it as a shield. Anyway, you won't lose a piece of meat.

At least, Cheng Long couldn't do anything to himself for this reason.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative and smiled at Cheng Long and nodded: "Hello, Cao Zhiqiang, nice to meet you, Mr. Cheng Long."

Cheng Long frowned, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person. In addition, this was still a public place, so he nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Hello, Mr. Cao."

But soon, Cheng Long looked at Cao Zhiqiang suspiciously: "Are you really in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Before Cao Zhiqiang spoke, Deng Lijun said first: "It has nothing to do with you, does it have anything to do with you?"

"me……"

After asking me for a long time, Cheng Long got stuck again and didn't know what to say.

"Aqiang, let's go!" Teresa Teng tightened Cao Zhiqiang's arm again and continued to say with a straight face, "I don't want to see this annoying person again."

Since Teresa Deng had spoken like this, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to smile at Cheng Long, and then left with Teresa Deng.

Of course, since Cheng Long and his group were blocking the elevator entrance, Cao Zhiqiang and Teresa Teng did not take the elevator but took the stairs.

When Cao Zhiqiang and Teresa Teng came to the stairwell and walked a few steps, Deng Lijun suddenly let go of Cao Zhiqiang's arm, then sat down on the steps, covering her face with her hands and started crying.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang first subconsciously looked around.

After confirming that there were no outsiders, Cao Zhiqiang sat down next to Teresa Teng and presented him with a handkerchief.

"Thank you."

After Teresa Teng thanked her, she took the handkerchief and began to wipe her eyes.

"You're welcome." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, and then continued to sit next to Teresa Teng in silence.

Because Cao Zhiqiang understood that at this moment, Deng Lijun did not need anyone to comfort her, she just wanted someone to be by her side.

In other words, at this time, Teresa Teng needs someone to rely on, not anything else.

By chance, Cao Zhiqiang became her support at the right time and place.

After a while, Teresa Teng wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and then forced a smile at Cao Zhiqiang: "I, am I ugly now?"

Cao Zhiqiang deliberately looked at Teresa Deng, and then shook his head: "It's okay, after all, you are a great beauty, even if you are crying, you are more beautiful than ordinary people, so you are not ugly, at most, you are not as good as the original love." It’s just you who’s laughing.”

Teresa Teng then burst into tears and smiled: "You are really good at praising others."

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "I'm just telling the truth. After all, you are indeed better than ordinary women. Otherwise, you wouldn't become a famous singer."

Teresa Teng pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang: "I became a big singer, isn't that because I can sing well? What does it have to do with what I look like?"

Cao Zhiqiang laughed and said: "What you said is wrong.

As long as ordinary human beings are born, they like beautiful things and hate ugly things.

I admit that your singing voice is very good and your singing skills are also very good, but there are not people who are better than you.

But none of them have become what you are now, which means that they are either not as beautiful as you, or not as lucky as you, or both are not as good as you.

Therefore, I believe that your success is due to many factors.

Singing voice, appearance, temperament, luck, character, and attitude towards life and work are all indispensable.

It is the interweaving of many factors that make you who you are today.

You can't just emphasize one factor and ignore other factors just because you are famous now.

So in my opinion, your other factors, such as appearance, temperament and luck, are one of the reasons for your success.

On the contrary, your singing voice, although very recognizable, is not the main reason for your career success, at least not the only factor. "

Upon hearing this, Teresa Deng said angrily: "Ha, when you say that, my voice, which I am proud of, is still the least important thing?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "What else? There are so many people in the world, and the number of people with good voices is as numerous as the sands and stars, but how many people can really attract everyone's attention and leave their names and traces in human history? Which one?

From this perspective, success is highly contingent and is contributed by many factors.

To overemphasize one point and ignore other points is the greatest arrogance. "

"It's interesting." Teresa Teng nodded thoughtfully, "So, is this also true of your success? It's not because you are talented or good at singing, but because you are lucky?"

"You're in trouble again." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head, "Didn't I say that it was caused by many factors, you can't just say one thing.

If you only say that I am lucky, you are only emphasizing this kind of strength and ignoring my other strengths.

Of course, I'm not saying that I'm unlucky, I'm pretty lucky.

However, if you have only luck and no ability, you will not be able to seize the opportunity.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

This is not only for me, but also for you.

Just because you have talent and are willing to work hard, when the opportunity comes, you seize it in time and succeed.

In the same way, even if you become successful and famous, when bad luck comes, if you fail to resolve it in time, you will still be unlucky.

In other words, when dealing with success, we must still have a humble and awe-inspiring heart, and cannot be blindly arrogant or complacent. "

Teresa Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense."

Immediately afterwards, Teresa Teng lowered her head, covered her face with her hands and said: "Oh, I am a thirty-year-old woman, and I was taught a lesson by a man who is not yet twenty years old. It is really embarrassing, so embarrassing."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled and stopped talking.

Suddenly, Teresa Deng suddenly raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang seriously: "Wait a minute, you didn't mean to say that just now, just to change the subject and stop me from thinking about that person, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, smiled again, and said nothing.

"Ha, you are indeed!" Teresa Teng said angrily, "You men are all the same, you like to lie!"

Cao Zhiqiang touched his nose, not knowing what to say for a moment, so he could only keep silent.

Anyway, he saw it, and at this moment, he didn't need to say anything more.

Just wait for Teresa Teng to vent and complain.

Once she has finished venting, complaining, and letting go of her anger, everything will be fine.

Alas, I am still too soft-hearted and cannot bear to see women sad. (End of chapter)
