Chapter 104: Friendship

  After Zhang Ziheng made the decision to no longer pursue Qiao Fei, he returned to his previous state of life. Every day, except for going to work and returning home, during holidays and rest days, he would go out with Zheng Jie to stroll around the streets, watch movies and so on, which was not much different from ordinary couples. Although he made this decision, in fact, he still cared about it very much, but he just didn't want to face it.

  On this day, Zheng Jie and Zhang Ziheng came to the sales office for an inspection. Although house prices are being driven up fiercely now, there are still many people buying houses, of course, there are also those who come just to take a look without buying. Zhang Ziheng looked at the house models, shook his head and smiled.

  Zheng Jie was taken aback for a moment, and smiled: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

  "Sigh, thinking about it, after we get married, will we be like those people who come to buy houses? I also carefully listened to what the salesperson said earlier, haha, to be honest, if I were buying, I might actually be tempted." Zhang Ziheng laughed.

  "Hmm? What's up? Are you thinking of buying a house?" Zheng Jie asked with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said: "At least not now, because I don't have money."

  "Look. The cheapest set of houses in our company, even a two-bedroom one is so expensive. With my current conditions, even if I don't eat or drink every day and take out a loan, it would still take me ten to twenty years to pay it off. Alas, people say that we young people from the countryside are living a good life, but actually, we're the ones who suffer the most."

  Zheng Jie listened and smiled, saying: "Where did you get so many complaints? Even if we want to buy a house, it's not like you have to spend money. I'm still here, aren't I? What are you afraid of?"

  "Huh? What do you mean? You want to use your family's money?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said, "Zheng Jie. Didn't I tell you before? If we're together in the future, we have to rely on ourselves and can't use your family's money anymore. We have hands and feet. We should use our self-reliance ability. If we still depend on our parents, won't others laugh at us?"

  Zheng Jie shook her head and smiled, saying: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. You don't have to worry either. I also have a job, so even if we still have to pay off the loan, I'll be with you, and we can be slaves to our mortgage together, is that okay?"

  Zhang Ziheng smiled and said: "Alright, just don't complain when the time comes."

  Just as the two of them were chatting, a couple who looked like they were dating walked over. The man kept staring at Zhang Ziheng, making Zhang Ziheng feel quite uncomfortable. "Ziheng? You... what are you doing here?"

  Zhang Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, looking at the strange boy in front of him and said: "Excuse me, are you talking to me?"

  "Huh? What are you talking about? Who else would I talk to if not you? Hey, what's going on with you lately? Can't reach you by phone, went to your place and you're never there. Asked Wang Xue and she said you were sick. And yet you won't let me and Wen Cheng go visit, what's really going on?" The person talking to Zhang Ziheng was Xiao Tian. Next to him was naturally Cheng Qian.

  Zhang Ziheng looked at him with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Zheng Jie and said: "Sorry. I think you may have mistaken the person." After finishing speaking, he pulled Zheng Jie to leave.

  Xiao Tian was taken aback for a moment, then hastily blocked his way and said: "What? Mistaken identity? Hey, Zi Heng. What do you mean? I'm telling you..."

  "Sorry, sir. Is there anything I can help you with? I'm the sales manager of our company. What's on your mind?" Just then, Zheng Jie interrupted him from the side and said.

  Xiao Tian looked at her and frowned, saying: "Nothing's wrong, I'm just talking to my friend. What? Do you know each other?"

  "Oh, I see. Sir, I think you may have mistaken him for someone else. He is my secretary." Zheng Jie smiled and said.

  "What's going on? Secretary?" Little Tian looked at Zhang Ziheng in disbelief, then glanced at Cheng Qian beside him, as if suspecting he had misheard. "Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, it's a bit confusing. That, Ziheng, when did you switch jobs? Why didn't you tell your buddy?"

  "Sorry, I think you may have mistaken me for someone else. My name is not Ziheng, it's **." Zhang Ziheng said.

  "This time Xiao Tian was even more confused, "No, you've even changed your name? And what's with this, you want to be a pop star? Haha. Don't tease me. With your singing skills, the more you sing, the more ear-piercing it is."

  "Sorry, sir, we have something to attend to and need to leave first." Zheng Jie said as she turned around with Zhang Ziheng to leave.

  Xiao Tian hastily blocked their way again, saying: "Wait a minute. The conversation is not clear, don't go yet. Zi Heng, what's going on here? Did you have a fight with Wang Xue? Ah, listen to my advice, this couple's quarrel doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while. You don't need to play so absolutely, not only did you change jobs, but also changed your name. Aren't you afraid of your dad?"

  "Exactly, Zi Heng, what's going on? I've seen Wang Xue looking distracted lately. Tell me, did you do something wrong?" Cheng Qian said with a nod.

  Zheng Jie looked at them with a displeased face and said: "Please be more mindful of your words, this is a public place. Be careful or I'll call security."

  "Hey, I'm talking to my brother, what's it got to do with you? And yet you're calling security, you think I'm afraid of you?" Little Tian said with a frown.

  “**

  Zhang Ziheng looked at Xiaotian and Cheng Qian for a moment, shook his head and said: "Don't know, never seen before." What?! Xiaotian and Cheng Qian exclaimed in unison, their four eyes wide with incredulity, as if they didn't dare to believe their own ears.

  "Not" Zi Heng, what did you just say? Say it again. Are you daring to say that you don't know me again? Little Tian said somewhat angrily.

  "Sorry, I think you may have mistaken me for someone else," Zhang Ziheng said calmly.

  When he heard that, Xiao Tian suddenly became furious, grabbed Zhang Ziheng's collar and pulled him in front of himself, angrily saying: "Ziheng, what did you mean by what you just said? Is it because you changed jobs and got a higher salary, so you forgot about your buddies? You actually said you don't know me? You don't know me?"

  "Hey, what are you doing? Let go, release." Zheng Jie took a look and was about to step forward to pull. But Cheng Qian hurriedly blocked her in front of her, stopping her.

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow, looking at Xiaotian, struggling and saying: "Hey, what are you doing? Let me go, or I'll call security!"

  "Oh no, you little thing, you're still yelling for security."

  Go ahead and shout if you dare, brother. You're all talk, I don't believe you'll actually do it. Little Tian said with a glare.

  Two minutes later, Xiao Tian and Cheng were chased out of the sales office by security guards. Xiao Tian frowned and said with a displeased face: "Hey, this little brat, he actually dared to shout. I'm so angry, I'm really going to die from anger. He said he didn't know me, he didn't recognize me." Xiao Tian was so angry that he kicked the trash can by the roadside.

  Cheng Qing hastily pulled him back, saying: "Alright, Xiao Tian, calm down and don't be angry. We're not worth getting angry with this kind of person. He said he didn't know us? Fine, we don't know him either. From now on, let's draw a clear boundary and never interact again."

  He nodded angrily, not knowing if he had heard it or not. His mouth was still muttering those few words: "He actually said he didn't know me, he said he didn't know me, he...

  Looking at the little sky outside, who was venting his anger everywhere, Zhang Ziheng felt uncomfortable in his heart for some reason. At this time, Zheng Jie walked up to him and said, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

  "Look at that person just now, he said he knows me, but I have no memory of him at all?" Zhang Ziheng said.

  "Hey, don't mind him, he's just a psycho. He can't even afford to buy his own house and now he's trying to pull connections everywhere. I've seen this kind of person before. Forget it, are you hungry? Let's go eat." Zheng Jie laughed.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and turned around to leave.

  In the evening, Li Wencheng and Deng Xin arrived at the restaurant. Seeing Xiaotian's gloomy face, they asked: "What's wrong? Are you being bullied? Why is your face red?"

  "Angry, really angry." Little Tian lit a cigarette and said in a low voice.

  "What? Is that so? Who is it? Who dares to bully you? Tell your brother, I'll help you take revenge. Ah, Cheng Qian, did you provoke him again?" Li Wen Cheng asked.

  Cheng Qian hastily shook her head, and then recounted what had happened that afternoon. "This isn't like him, from this afternoon till now, he hasn't smiled once, his expression has been like this the whole time, muttering to himself."

  "What? Such a thing? Can't be? If you said someone else I would believe it, but Zi Heng Li Wen Cheng shook his head and said."

  Xiao Tian snorted and said: "I don't want to believe it either. But this is what I personally experienced. I heard it with my own ears, how can it be fake?"

  "Huh?" Could it be that you've mistaken me for someone else? Xin asked.

  "It's impossible. Even if Zi Hong was ground into powder, I could still put him back together again. Besides, it's possible for one person to misrecognize someone, but not two people with four eyes."

  Li Wencheng nodded and said, "Hmm... if I really think about it, it's indeed a bit strange. Ever since we came back from the National Day holiday, we've been unable to contact Zi Heng. Wang Xue is the same way. It looks like they've changed into different people, as if they've been abandoned or something."

  "Don't be ridiculous, it must be Zhang Ziheng who has grown tired of the old and fond of the new. This son of a bitch, I didn't like him from the start, I didn't expect he would do something like this."

  "Hey, things haven't been investigated clearly yet, don't talk nonsense." Li Wencheng said with a frown.

  After hearing what Deng Xin said, Cheng Qian suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "Right, I saw the girl next to Zi Heng today. She seems to have a special relationship with Zi Heng. You guys think about it, that girl actually said Zi Heng is her secretary. And that girl looks very young and beautiful, could she be

  "What? Alright. That damned Zhang Ziheng, he's actually serving as someone's secretary now, and it's a male secretary too!" she said with indignation.

  Li Wencheng chuckled and said, "How refreshing! Zi Heng was originally a man, of course he's a male secretary. Alright, I think we should stop guessing and just call out Wang Xue to ask her what's going on. What do you guys say?"

  The other three looked at each other and said: "Agreed."
