Hong Kong is in full swing

Although it was Chengdu dialect, Yu Wan didn't understand this dialect and thought he was praising her and Wei Size for being obedient.

She looked at Wei Size, who was already acting like a good boy.

Cen Zhen leaned back in his chair without moving. Wei Size walked up to him and bowed politely. "Hello, Teacher Cen. I'm Wei Size."

"Hello, Teacher Cen, my name is Yu Wan."

Cen Zhen opened his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them, then said in dialect, "My house is really lively this year. People are running here one after another, okay."

Then he stood up from his chair and said, "Since you're a guest, how about playing mahjong?"

Duan Fei stood up and replied, "Okay."

Yu Wan looked at Wei Size and saw him nod. Then she smiled and replied, "Okay."

The four of them sat down around the table. Aunt Dai took out the mahjong cloth and spread it on the table. The sound of shuffling the cards rang out and the dice began to spin.

Cen Zhen was the banker, and everyone took thirteen cards. After everyone had drawn their cards, Cen Zhen drew an extra one.

The three of them looked at each other, all with the same thought in their minds:

It’s over.

Everyone has their own plans in mind and dares not play their cards rashly.

Seeing their concerns, Cen Zhen smiled and asked, "Why don't you fight anymore?"

Yu Wan and Wei Size quickly reached a tacit understanding, while Duan Fei seemed a little helpless and could only try to be a chicken Hu.

But Cen Zhen glanced at their cards and said calmly, "You can't win. You need to be missing one of the cards."

There are four types of mahjong on the table and the people present belong to three types: Yu Wan plays Guangdong mahjong, Wei Size and Duan Fei are familiar with Hong Kong mahjong, and Cen Zhen prefers Sichuan mahjong.

The rules were completely different, leaving the three of them confused as to what was going on with Teacher Cen's missing one subject.

As the game became more difficult, the scene became more chaotic.

Cen Zhen drew the cards, made the cards, and in the end did not explain to them what he meant by "missing one card". Instead, he ended the game in a completely random way.

"The cards don't connect, people's hearts are different, and their paths are different. We can't force ourselves to be together."

The three of them left the room with their gifts still unopened. Wei Size sighed, "Who would have thought that playing a set of mahjong could lead to different paths?"

Having said that, he knew in his heart that this was actually conveying the message that Cen Zhen was not willing to work with businessmen. After all, if he really wanted to play with them, he wouldn't be completely uniform.

Yu Wan pouted, "Now that we're here, we can't give up easily. We need to make a few more trips."

Wei Size did as he was told, and Duan Fei followed suit.

These "enemies" met at Cen Zhen's house every day, using all their tricks to coax him.

But Cen Zhen was as hard as iron and was not susceptible to any temptation. Even Wei Size and Duan Fei were treated as temporary workers by Dai Weiyu and ordered around. Sometimes they had to move big things, sometimes they had to unclog pipes. They were so tired that they lost several pounds, but they couldn't even have a meal.

Yu Wan was a girl, and Dai Weiyu was reluctant to let her do heavy work. But after seeing the calluses on Yu Wan's hands, Cen Zhen guessed that she must be an art student, so he asked her to help grind ink and pour tea every day, just like taking care of a little girl.

He also often told her that she shouldn't abandon her profession to do business, accusing her of not doing her job properly.

Yu Wan wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled and asked, "If I don't do business, how will those painters sell their carefully crafted paintings? How will they support their families? Does everyone have to live a poor life like you? In fact, most people hope to live a good life, right? Don't you want to live a comfortable life yourself?"

Cen Zhen was a little unhappy after hearing this, "How could I have ever had a good life?"

Yu Wan smiled and said, "You have everything you need, and Aunt Dai washes and cleans for you every day. If that's not a good life, what is?"

Dai Weiyu, who was outside, interrupted, "That's right! You old man are really lucky."

This made Cen Zhen lose face, and he immediately wanted to kick her out and not let Yu Wan come again.

But the next day, Yu Wan showed up on time. Faced with her persistence, Cen Zhen was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he could do nothing about it. He could only complain a few words and then hid in the study angrily.

Several young people stayed here for nearly half a month, until the Minor Snow solar term.

Considering that there was still a lot of work waiting to be done in Hong Kong, Wei Size first asked to return to Hong Kong and said that he would come back in two days; but as soon as he left, Duan Fei followed him; as a result, as soon as Duan Fei left, Wei Size came back quietly.

"Finally got them to leave!" Young Master Wei sighed as he wiped the sweat from his forehead from prolonged exertion. Looking at his calloused hands, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "These past few days, I've been doing the hard work for the rest of my life in advance."

Yu Wan half-jokingly said, "But all these efforts haven't caused the slightest ripple in their hearts."

Wei Size was extremely depressed after hearing this.

They had tried every possible method and said all the nice things they could, but the other party was like a cold and hard rock, and no matter how hard the outside world tried, they could not move him at all.

This made Wei Size, who had always been arrogant, feel more helpless and insignificant than ever before.

Yu Wan comforted him, "If Mr. Cen was truly the type to be swayed by material temptations, he would have been wealthy decades ago. Look at where he lives now. It's an old building without an elevator, and he doesn't even need a luxury car to get around—it shows he has little interest in money."

"For seniors like this, only sincerity can slowly win their trust."

Although the word "sincerity" sounds simple, it is a rare thing for businessmen like Wei Size and Duan Fei.

Because usually all we see are profit figures.

When Cen Zhen noticed someone was missing, he simply glanced over and told them directly, "Don't waste your energy. I will never consider any cooperation with you in my lifetime. Reputation is more important to me than money. As for the so-called 'gift', it is unlikely to sway me in the slightest."

Wei Size wanted to explain something, but Cen Zhen spoke first, "Don't tell me you're just here out of friendship or to keep us lonely old folks company through the cold winter. I don't believe that. As the ancients said, 'Don't force unity when there's a difference in purpose.' Go back and think about it carefully."

After he finished speaking, Dai Weiyu stepped forward to see him off. Yu Wan didn't want to embarrass her, so she said softly, "Then we'll come back next time."

Cen Zhen snorted, obviously not believing it.

A nationwide cold wave hit, and the temperature suddenly dropped to three degrees.

The clothes the two wore were not suitable, so after being kicked out, they drove directly to the mall.

As soon as they entered the mall, the warm air conditioning made their bodies gradually warm up. They chose their cotton clothes, took their shopping bags, and walked out talking and laughing.

After turning a corridor, Yu Wan suddenly stopped and saw two people walking towards her.

They met unexpectedly, and the man slowly stopped.
