Otherwise, why wouldn't Fang Yuan bother with that little fatty? No, he's not a little fatty anymore, but a big fatty now.

Okay, whatever kind of fatty he is, he dared to ruin his good time, so he…

…can only endure it. He can't win in a fight, and he can't bring himself to curse. The most he can do is give him a bad look.

But what good is giving him a bad look?

This fatty learned to be so shameless from someone. No matter how ugly his face is, he acts like he doesn't see it and chats and jokes with Fang Yuan as if nothing happened.

But this little fatty is quite capable. He's a multi-millionaire now.

He's already somewhat famous in Beihai. Even this restaurant where they're eating has shares owned by the little fatty.

Although he's not a major shareholder, even a minor shareholder in a restaurant of this caliber needs connections to get the position.

However, what Fang Yuan didn't expect was that when it came time to pay the bill, this little fatty actually let him pay. Letting him pay would be fine, but when the other party offered him a discount, he righteously refused it.

Don't think Fang Yuan doesn't know that this fatty always has his meals at this restaurant charged to his account, or rather, he just uses his face to get by.

And now he's pulling this on him?

Does he really think he's an easy target?

The money is a small matter, but the most important thing is that Qian Xiaoxiao's smug smile made him feel angry.

But seeing Xiang Lingling smiling beside him, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and paid the bill.

For some reason, this fatty has been very opinionated about him since their last meeting.

Xu Qiang and the others said that the time he asked Xiang Lingling to go to Kyoto, this fatty almost followed them.

Fortunately, his company had some urgent matters that he had to deal with.

He doesn't know why this guy is so free even though he's already a boss.

But he also doesn't know what his company does. He'll have to help him out more in the future to keep him busy so he doesn't have the leisure to interfere in his affairs.

At least, he shouldn't sit next to him and annoy him.

Alas! There's nothing he can do. This guy has a very high status in Xiang Lingling's heart. Even if she doesn't usually talk about it, Fang Yuan can feel it.

Forget it, forget it. For his future happiness, he should just endure it.

As the saying goes, the more you think about it, the angrier you get; the more you step back, the more you feel you're losing out.

That's right, Fang Yuan really couldn't stand Qian Xiaoxiao's smug face. Even when he was walking with Xiang Lingling, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Who could be comfortable in this situation?

When you're walking with your girlfriend, and there's a tagalong following you, can you be comfortable?

"I say, big brother, you're already a big boss, can't you stop acting like a child?" Fang Yuan put his arm around Qian Xiaoxiao's shoulder while Xiang Lingling went to the restroom and said helplessly.

"I'm acting like a child? You have the nerve to say that. If you hadn't caused that incident in high school, I might already be holding my nephew. Now you want to come back and harm my Lingling. Did you ask for my opinion?" Qian Xiaoxiao tried his best to widen his small eyes, which were squeezed by his flesh.

"Okay, okay, who hasn't made mistakes? I was too young and didn't understand things back then. Are you really still holding that against me?" Fang Yuan spread his hands and said sincerely to Qian Xiaoxiao.

"Is it okay to play with a young girl's feelings just because you're young?"

"I didn't! I did wrong back then, but I wouldn't say I was playing with her feelings, right?"

"No, Fang Yuan! Last time, if your two friends hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten you up first. You better be careful. Don't let me catch you doing anything, or else…"

"Or else what are you going to do? Beat him to death? Or what?" Xiang Lingling's gloomy voice came from behind them.

"You two are really capable! I just went to the restroom, and you're already causing trouble here? What's going on? Do you want me to be the referee for you two? Should you fight first?" Xiang Lingling said, laughing and crying as she looked at the two people with their heads down.

"Brother, didn't I tell you? Let the past be the past. Don't keep holding on to it. Look, aren't we doing well now? Let the past be the past!" Xiang Lingling said, standing between the two people and looking at Qian Xiaoxiao with some reluctance.

"But…"

"There's no 'buts'. This is my own choice. If something really happens in the future, I won't regret it!" Xiang Lingling interrupted Qian Xiaoxiao's next words and said firmly.

"I won't let Lingling be wronged. Don't worry!" Fang Yuan added from the side.

"Boy, you better remember what you said today. If you don't do it, no one will be able to stop me next time. I will definitely make you suffer!" Qian Xiaoxiao said fiercely.

After saying that, without waiting for Fang Yuan to say anything, he turned and left.

"I'm sorry, you know my brother, he's just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. We'll apologize to him together later!" Xiang Lingling said, holding Fang Yuan's arm.

"There's no need to do that. I know him. He's good in every way, but he's just stubborn. And he's doing this for your own good. How could I be angry!" Fang Yuan shook his head.

Fang Yuan knew what this fatty's bottom line was since high school. As long as it involved Xiang Lingling, it was a big deal to him.

At least, his friend and best buddy was nothing compared to his sister.

But it's also his fault for being too awkward in the beginning. Otherwise, he and Xiang Lingling should be getting married by now!

But fortunately, he still has a chance to make up for it.

"Here, this is a gift from my mom!" Fang Yuan saw Qian Xiaoxiao walking away and took out the gift his mother had asked him to give to Xiang Lingling.

"Your aunt gave it to me? I haven't even met your aunt yet, and she's already giving me a gift?" Xiang Lingling widened her eyes.

"Just take it. My mom was so happy when she heard I had a girlfriend that she almost forgot about her son.

If you don't take it, I won't have a good time when I get back!" Fang Yuan felt embarrassed thinking about his mother's appearance.

It's like her son can't find a girlfriend!

If Fang's mother was here, she would definitely scoff at what Fang Yuan said. That's right, she's afraid that her son can't find a girlfriend. Otherwise, why would she be so anxious?

Besides, she knows Xiang Lingling. Whether it was in high school or now, she's the most outstanding girl among Fang Yuan's classmates.

Even in the whole country, her conditions are one of the best.

Whether it's her family background or her own cultivation and knowledge, she's a perfect match for Fang Yuan.

If these two people are together, Fang's mother will support them with both hands, and Fang's father's hands as well.

"Okay, remember to thank your aunt for the gift for me!" Xiang Lingling hesitated for a moment and accepted the gift.

"Okay!"

…

After walking around for a while, Fang Yuan was tired. He had been traveling all day today, and his physical strength couldn't keep up.

"Why don't we find a cafe to have something to drink?" Xiang Lingling said with concern when she saw the tired expression on Fang Yuan's face.

"Okay, there's a zoo in front, let's go there!" Fang Yuan glanced at it and replied.

As soon as he sat down, Fang Yuan felt like his butt was stuck to the chair, like the big bear that came in, taking root and sprouting there.

"You're really useless!" Fang Yuan thought, hitting his leg.

But he was really tired today. He really couldn't walk anymore. If he could have persisted, he wouldn't have been so useless.

After drinking coffee, Fang Yuan sent Xiang Lingling back.

After saying goodbye reluctantly downstairs, Fang Yuan dragged his tired body back home.

He didn't go to the new house that his mother gave him, but returned to the previous villa.

He would rest well today and go to Beihai University of Technology tomorrow to accompany Xiang Lingling.

He could also have a meal with Zhou Shengde, catch up, and give him the tickets he just bought.

It was the first time that he and Xu Qiang were watching their match live. If it had been before, Fang Yuan might not have called Zhou Shengde.

But now this guy is free, just waiting for the formal employment notice. Wouldn't it be better to relax during this time than to relax after this guy goes to work at Beihai University of Technology?

Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Xu Qiang's expression when he saw himself and Zhou Shengde.

Wasn't this guy working so hard just to let his brothers see it!

This time, he and Zhou Shengde were going to watch in person, and this guy would be very happy!

Fang Yuan didn't know how hard Xu Qiang worked, but he knew that whatever he did, he had to follow the 10,000-hour rule. Athletes are even more so. Even if your talent is high, you have nothing if you don't work hard.

There are many people who don't have talent and rely on hard work to gain a foothold. On the other hand, there are more athletes who waste their talent without working hard.

If it weren't for Fang Yuan's stimulation, Xu Qiang might have been one of these people. Why would he, with his outstanding family background and handsome appearance, have to compete with athletes?

Besides, based on his grades, there was absolutely no problem with getting into a top university.

Wouldn't it be better to study honestly, graduate from university, and go back to inherit his father's business?

Is it that money is not good to spend, or is this colorful world not attractive enough to him?

Neither. The biggest reason is that his two brothers are moving forward with their own strength, but he has to rely on his father, which he cannot accept.

Besides, can he rely on his father more than Fang Yuan?

It's simply impossible. Fang Yuan's father is much richer than his father.

Even Fang's father in high school was doing better in the business world than his father.

If he doesn't work hard at this time, he will be completely left behind.

He certainly didn't want to be removed from the North Sea Three Musketeers, and even wanted to become their leader.

However, with his current performance, he couldn't threaten Fang Yuan's position unless he could achieve the same results in the 100-meter sprint as that former sprinting champion.

Looking at it now, he still needed some time to reach that level, and might not even achieve it by the time he retired.

But at least he still had a glimmer of hope.

After scientific training, all the trainers felt that his potential hadn't been fully tapped yet, and if he could fully realize his potential, he might actually reach that level.

The reason he hadn't made any progress recently was twofold: first, he was improving his starting posture, which required a period of adaptation.

The other reason was the change in his mentality, most importantly, hearing that Fang Yuan had developed a carbon-based chip. Even as an athlete, he knew what a carbon-based chip meant.

If things continued like this, even if he could truly reach the level of that former dominating sprinter, he wouldn't be able to compare with Fang Yuan.

However, after he calmed down, he didn't care so much about it.

Since he couldn't catch up, he would just ensure he didn't fall behind!

He couldn't let Fang Yuan, that freak, leave him too far behind, otherwise the North Sea Three Musketeers would really have to disband.

Speaking of Zhou Shengde, he had participated in several national-level projects, plus the graduation project he completed independently, which caused quite a stir in the industry.

This allowed him to not worry about being left too far behind by Fang Yuan in the short term. Anyway, among the three of them, he was developing the worst, but it was still unknown what level this guy could reach in the end.

Anyway, he wouldn't be worse than Xu Qiang.

…

The next day, Fang Yuan gave the tickets to Zhou Shengde, and after they bragged for a while, they separated.

Xu Qiang's competition would start tomorrow. Fang Yuan was going back to North Sea University of Technology to pick up Zhou Shengde and his girlfriend!

Anyway, Brother Wang was reliable and bought five front-row tickets.

This left only one ticket. That's right, Xiang Lingling was also going tomorrow, plus Fang Yuan and Zhou Shengde, who should he give the remaining ticket to!

Okay, he should give it to that fatty. After all, he was one of his best buddies, and even if he had some opinions about him because of Xiang Lingling, he was magnanimous and wouldn't hold it against the guy.

He called Qian Xiaoxiao, who was in a meeting, over.

"What's so urgent? I'm in a meeting, didn't you know!" Qian Xiaoxiao rushed over angrily.

"It's nothing, just giving you something!" Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"What good things can you give me? I don't want it!" Qian Xiaoxiao said, but her eyes kept looking at Fang Yuan, as if waiting for him to hand over the gift.

"Here! This is a ticket for Xu Qiang's competition tomorrow. Let's go cheer for him together!" Fang Yuan stuffed the ticket into Qian Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Okay, you can leave now!" Fang Yuan waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly.

"Xu Qiang's competition ticket? Is this guy back in North Sea for the competition?" Qian Xiaoxiao took the ticket and examined it.

"Yeah!"

"This kid is amazing now, the new sprinting champion of China, the number one sprinter in Asia. In terms of fame, he's not any worse than you! I can even get discounts when I say I'm his classmate, it's much more useful than your fame!" Saying this, Qian Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Yuan with a contemptuous look.

It was as if she was saying Fang Yuan was no good.

Speaking of which, he couldn't compare with Xu Qiang in this regard.

However, in terms of overall influence, he was still much stronger than Xu Qiang.

Especially to the higher-ups, his role was more important than most people.

In some ways, it wouldn't be a problem to say he was a rare animal.

With his current protection measures, even pandas didn't have his treatment.

Fang Yuan wasn't stupid, he could feel the security forces around him.

Besides, looking at Brother Wang's skills, he knew he couldn't have found this himself. If someone hadn't tacitly approved it, Brother Wang wouldn't be his bodyguard.

Otherwise, Fang Yuan would have run all over the country, but he was afraid of bothering these people too much.

He only moved between Kyoto, North Sea, and the research center.

It wasn't good to be too excellent, at least at this time, his excellence had become a burden.

However, Fang Yuan also knew that if it weren't for this, his personal safety couldn't be guaranteed.

After all, there were some people in this world who just couldn't stand you being good, he didn't know if they were mentally twisted or what.

If it weren't for this, who knew what this world would be like now.

Fortunately, he was born in China, where there was some guarantee in this regard.

…

Time quickly came to the start of Xu Qiang's competition.

Fang Yuan picked up Zhou Shengde and his girlfriend and arrived at the stadium for the competition together.

Their seats were in the front, in the best location, where they could even have close contact with the athletes.

If it weren't for this, Fang Yuan wouldn't have said he wanted to give Xu Qiang a surprise.

As long as Xu Qiang took a look, he could see Fang Yuan and his group.

He hoped this guy could make a breakthrough this time!
