Chapter 159: Chapter 111: Black Bear Spirit Wants to Open a Fruit Store

Zhang Lin grabbed four sets of tickets from the office center and rode his scooter to the parking lot.

The parking lot.

Zhang Zhao and his girlfriend were already out of their car, along with two of her best friends.

It was one of his rare days off. His girlfriend, however, had insisted on coming to Li Yuan Farm to see some Black Bear Spirit running a fruit stand. He had no idea what kind of gimmick his cousin was pulling—a Black Bear Spirit, really?—but if his girlfriend wanted to go, he would of course go with her.

’If he didn’t spoil a beautiful girlfriend like her, someone else would.’

"Jie, let’s wait a moment. My cousin is bringing the tickets over," Zhang Zhao said, not forgetting to hold an umbrella over his girlfriend.

"Wow, Zhao Jie, look how thoughtful your man is!"

"I know, right? If only I could find a boyfriend like that."

Her two friends were obviously not enjoying this public display of affection.

Zhao Jie, however, just smiled knowingly. She was, of course, very satisfied with her boyfriend. He was not only a civil servant doing well at the police station—meaning promotions were practically guaranteed—but his family was also rich. On top of all that, he was thoughtful and doted on her.

She was certain that if they broke up, she wouldn’t be able to find anyone nearly as good in all of You City.

Therefore, the fact that he was usually busy was a flaw she could easily overlook.

A moment later, Zhang Lin rode up on his scooter. As soon as he arrived, he handed the tickets to Zhang Zhao. "Zhao, here are the tickets. And hello, sister-in-law!"

The term "sister-in-law" clearly pleased Zhao Jie.

"Lin, where’s this Black Bear Spirit fruit stand of yours?" Zhang Zhao asked, knowing his girlfriend was eager to see it.

"Zhao, you’ll have to wait a bit. The black bear isn’t awake yet," Zhang Lin explained. Just then, he got a call from Lin Muxue. After answering, he immediately said, "Okay, I’ll be right there."

With that, he had no choice but to say to Zhang Zhao, "Zhao, something’s come up. I have to go."

After Zhang Lin left, one of Zhao Jie’s friends said playfully, "Zhao Jie, I didn’t realize your boyfriend’s cousin was so handsome. Our Jiajia is still single, you know. As her best friend, aren’t you going to set her up?"

Zhao Jie turned to her other friend with a broad smile. "Jiajia, what do you think? Want me to set you two up?"

"No, thanks. I’m not looking to date right now!" Chu Jiajia said, shaking her head quickly. There was even a hint of annoyance on her face.

’What a joke. Both of my friends found such outstanding boyfriends—don’t even get me started on Zhao Jie’s Zhang Zhao—and now you want to set me up with a guy on a scooter?’

’She was beginning to wonder if Zhao Jie was intentionally trying to spite her. Sure, now that she was with Zhang Zhao, his cousin was basically family, and it was normal to want to set him up. But you don’t do it by shafting your best friend!’

’It’s like she’s saying, "I can land a great guy, but you can’t, so you’ll have to take what you can get."’

The other friend, however, asked curiously, "Zhang Zhao, your cousin works at Li Yuan Farm. Does he know who the owner is? I heard the boss of Kailin Investment, a really powerful guy, got taken down hard by the owner of Li Yuan Farm."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao said with great pride, "My cousin *is* the owner of Li Yuan Farm. Hasn’t Zhao Jie told you guys?"

Hearing this, both of Zhao Jie’s friends were visibly stunned.

Chu Jiajia, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. She stared blankly at Zhao Jie, a sudden realization dawning on her: she had completely misunderstood her friend.

’This is what a real best friend looks like! She was trying to hand me the opportunity of a lifetime!’

"Jie, about what you said earlier... about introducing me to Zhang Zhao’s cousin!" Chu Jiajia exclaimed, hastily tugging on Zhao Jie’s sleeve.

"Huh?" Zhao Jie was taken aback and asked instinctively, "Jiajia, didn’t you just say you weren’t interested in dating?"

"Well, I could be interested if I meet the right person!" Chu Jiajia said quickly, her face breaking into a wide smile. "It’s all about fate, right?"

"..." Zhao Jie was momentarily at a loss for words.

Zhang Zhao, for his part, couldn’t help but purse his lips.
