Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

At this point, Chung Han-cheung couldn't care less about anything else. He continued urgently, "At least as ordinary friends, we can chat about our recent situations and talk about the little things in our lives every time we meet."

I really only ask that you grant me this small request: please don't ignore me anymore. Even though we can no longer be husband and wife like before, we were once inseparable family!

I really can't treat you like a complete stranger. Can't you understand that?

So, please leave me with even a little bit of the dignity that a normal friend should have, okay? Otherwise, I'm afraid I really will feel like I'd rather be dead..."

In the end, he stared at Huai'an with a pained expression, his eyes filled with bright red blood vessels, a sight that evoked pity in those who saw him.

Huai'an raised his wrist, his gaze falling on the exquisite watch, and said without any emotion, "Okay, then I have to hurry up and go to work."

You should go and take care of your own things too. Remember, Hanzhe Chung, only by letting go of the burdens of the past can you truly embrace a happy life. I sincerely hope that when you embark on your new journey in life,

You can have an incredibly brilliant and glorious experience. You should devote all your energy to your career and stop being distracted by these insignificant things.

Bound by troubling matters of love. And aren't I the same? We both need to live lives completely different from the past.

If nothing can be changed, then this rebirth will lose its original meaning.

This was the first time Huai'an had called him by his name; they had revealed their true intentions to each other.

Zhong Hanzhe listened quietly to Huai An's words, as if he had been stunned for a moment.

He never expected that this seemingly petite woman would possess such an extraordinary broad mind and lofty vision.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, and could only nod awkwardly, saying in accordance with Huai'an's meaning, "Yeah, okay. It's nice to be ordinary friends."

That's right, we all have to bravely forge our own paths.

Huai'an, believe me, one day I will definitely make a name for myself, earn a lot of money, and make you look at me differently!

No matter how heartless you are to me, I will always be there for you, I promise! I will never break my word…

"Then I beg you now, let go of your obsession, stay away from me, and go pursue your lofty ideals!" Huai'an glanced at him indifferently, and was about to turn and leave.

Just then, a jeep stopped by the roadside. Gu Jingnian and the driver helped Gu Xinian out of the car, then helped his father into a wheelchair. He then slowly pushed his father in the wheelchair towards the hospital entrance.

The siblings across from the hospital saw Gu Jingnian and his son, quickly turned around, and hurried away.

Gu Jingnian first glanced quickly at Zhong Hanzhe, whose expression was slightly depressed and lonely. He immediately sensed that the relationship between the two was not simple. He thought to himself that perhaps he was a failed suitor.

But he glanced at Huai'an without revealing his true feelings, and said with a smile, "Huai'an, we were just looking for you. Is this one of your patients as well?"

Huai'an smiled and said frankly to him, "This is my old classmate. Let's go quickly!"

After saying that, she gently raised her hand and waved to Wallace Chung, saying softly, "Goodbye!"

Zhong Hanzhe stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on Huai'an and the other two as they gradually walked away until they finally disappeared into the blurry figures at the end of the long corridor.

He thought to himself: even if we're just friends for now, it's fine. After all, getting her to talk to me is already a significant step towards success. Perhaps there will be more opportunities in the future to get closer to each other...

Thinking of this, Chung Han-che couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and hope.

He carried his bag and walked outside. There are many ancient buildings in Beijing, which fascinates Zhong Hanzhe. He often seeks out architectural complexes and courtyard houses of different styles to make sketches.

He enthusiastically bought a brand-new camera and embarked on a journey of photographing, classifying, and preserving ancient buildings.

Every weekend, Wallace Chung can't wait to pack his bags and wander through the city streets and alleys and the rustic corners of the countryside.

Along the way, he not only reveled in the beauty of the ancient buildings that had weathered the vicissitudes of time and carried historical memories, but also took the time to capture them one by one with his camera and carefully categorize and preserve them.

Whenever he saw that breathtakingly beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, because Huai'an couldn't be by his side to enjoy it with him. Even though Jiang Xiaoxuan often launched a fierce "relentless pursuit" of him, his attitude remained consistent, as firm as Huai'an's attitude towards him—he offered no response other than an unwavering rejection.

His heart seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, completely unaffected by external interference or temptation.

For him, his initial wish was simply to closely follow Huai'an's ever-advancing steps and strive tirelessly to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

However, as he accumulated knowledge and broadened his horizons, he gradually discovered that learning not only helped him develop his way of thinking, but also allowed him to break out of his familiar environment and leave his hometown, thus gaining a broader perspective.

During this process, a vague yet intense desire quietly sprouted deep within him: to pursue higher goals, strive to realize his true value, and completely break free from the stagnant state he had in his previous life.

This belief burned like a flame in his heart, driving him forward and never giving up.

In his previous life, he relied on his outstanding business acumen and tireless efforts to build a small, inconspicuous storefront into a large-scale, renowned wholesale business from scratch.

At that time, he was full of vigor and glory, becoming the focus of everyone's attention and the object of everyone's envy.

However, his good fortune was short-lived. Due to a complex web of triangular debts, his business inevitably declined. This devastating blow plunged his once-confident self into despair, from which he never recovered.

From that time on, he locked himself in his home all day, unwilling to face the outside world that had become strange and cruel.

Every day, besides drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he would fly into a rage for no reason. Even the smallest, most insignificant thing could easily touch his extremely sensitive and fragile nerves and his intensely strong, almost distorted, self-esteem, thus triggering a furious outburst of anger.

He was deeply afraid of being looked down upon and despised by others, because he had always been the kind of strong person who only wanted to be the boss and never wanted to be second best.

But now that he has lost the backing of substantial wealth, he has also lost the absolute authority he once held as the leader. As a result, those who once fawned over him, groveled before him, and followed him closely have scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace.

And so he lived his life in a daze, like a walking corpse, unable to extricate himself from his past glorious achievements.

When he's in a good mood, he'll sit at the dinner table with his legs crossed, talking about how he used to be... But whenever he loses control of his emotions, he'll smash pots, pans, and other items at home to vent his unspeakable frustration and resentment.

His poor wife and children lived in constant fear under his tyrannical rule, facing harsh scolding and even beatings at the slightest mistake. For some reason, seeing his family trembling with terror gave this man, who had lost himself, a morbid sense of satisfaction.

Later, with the changing times and economic situation, Huai'an's workplace faced a large-scale wave of layoffs. Left with no other choice, Huai'an had to apply for early retirement.

Back then, in the early 1990s, the basic monthly salary was only 180 yuan.

Chung Han-che had already resigned from the construction company in the early 1980s and become a self-employed individual. After his business failed, he had no salary or income. If his children hadn't raised money to settle his debts, he would have almost gone to jail for being in debt.

Since then, the family's livelihood has depended entirely on Huai'an's meager salary, but this income is hardly enough to support the family's expenses, and life has become increasingly difficult.

Faced with such a predicament, Huai'an did not sit idly by. She resolutely decided to open a small kindergarten at home, hoping to improve her family's financial situation through her own efforts.

At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and the children's laughter filled the little family with life and energy. However, this didn't last long. One day, Zhong Hanzhe got drunk and had a heated argument with the parents. This incident caused a huge uproar and severely damaged the kindergarten's reputation. Ultimately, the newly established kindergarten had to close down.

Undeterred by the setback, Huai'an soon turned her attention to Yiwu, the bustling capital of small commodities.

She tirelessly took the train there to purchase goods, and then returned to her hometown to set up a street stall.

However, reality is always cruel and unforgiving. On the one hand, the urban management officers are becoming increasingly strict in their management of street vendors, and on the other hand, Zhong Hanzhe actually felt that it was shameful for Huai'an to do business in public like this, and he tried every means to obstruct her.

And so, Huai'an's street vending career did not last long.

Despite repeated setbacks, Huai'an never gave up.

After that, she found another job—helping sell tickets for some video arcades. Although the hours were long, at least she could earn some income to supplement her family's income.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Not only did Wallace Chung not offer Huai'an any support or understanding, but he also accused her of having affairs and behaving improperly.

These repeated setbacks left Huai'an disheartened and unsure of how to move forward in the future...

Chung Han-cheung stays at home all day, unwilling to cook or help with housework, and unwilling to go out to find work. He also picks on Huai-an and makes things difficult for him.

He wasted his days like this, and in the end, he only managed to set up a simple counter at his doorstep and open a small shop to make a living, thanks to the financial support of his children.

But by then he had long lost the drive and energy he once had to forge ahead and dare to venture out.

He always showed a disdainful attitude towards the kind of hard and tiring work that ordinary people would consider difficult.

After all, with the rapid development of the times, countless traditional things have been ruthlessly left behind.

He remained stagnant, bewildered by the rapidly changing world, and unable to keep up with the pace of the times.

But things are different now. He was fortunate enough to step onto a university campus and become a vibrant college student.

Young and strong, he was full of energy and could learn new knowledge and skills with ease.

Deep within him, there was always a powerful force, a yearning to make great strides in this era full of opportunities and challenges.

He reflected on his past life, thinking that if he had failed in his business back then without funds or connections, if he had taken up bricklaying work, been more diligent, and made friends in the construction industry, with his intelligence, wouldn't he have been able to catch the wave of soaring housing prices...

Although the current era is relatively closed and conservative, he firmly believes that as long as he perseveres, in a little over ten years, when the 1980s arrive and the spring breeze of reform and opening up sweeps across the land, that will be the day when he soars to great heights and achieves great things!

He has recently gained a lot from learning and communicating in foreign languages ​​at the foreign language corner. Although he only began to systematically study foreign languages ​​after entering university, he has shown extraordinary language talent.

He knew the importance of foreign languages ​​in the future. Recalling when he was sent down to the countryside, he was able to use the local dialect fluently and communicate with the villagers without any barriers within just a few months.

His outstanding language skills are a result of his excellent memory and extraordinary courage. Even when he accidentally encounters a foreigner on campus or unexpectedly meets an international friend at the grand Canton Fair, he shows no fear and instead bravely steps forward to strike up a conversation.

When faced with words or phrases that are difficult to express, he cleverly uses body language to vividly illustrate them. In this way, with his positive and optimistic attitude and unique communication style, he can always chat and laugh with others, and his spoken foreign language skills have naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

Such an outstanding and charming man was very popular at school, but he repeatedly encountered setbacks with Shi Huai'an.

Nevertheless, he never gave up easily, and that deep obsession still burned like a flame in his heart.

For him, the idea of ​​"as long as you're happy"—a selfless act of doing something for someone else's benefit—is nonexistent. True happiness, for him, lies in two people walking hand-in-hand through life's journey together…

He received a letter of introduction and a work permit from the leather goods factory in the last few days of the autumn Canton Fair. Zhong Hanzhe also took the opportunity to take a few days off and make it to the end of the Canton Fair.

He not only designed backpacks and popular hiking backpacks for leather goods factories, but also visited products at the Canton Fair to gain inspiration. He also used his business experience from his previous life to help many manufacturers improve and promote their products. Because of his initiative, resourcefulness and insight, many manufacturers extended olive branches to him, asking him to help with designs and promising to give him corresponding remuneration once a novel design was put into production.

He is now working hard to learn foreign languages, hoping to shine brightly at the Canton Fair next year.

Unfortunately, Huai'an was unwilling to cooperate with her. Originally, Zhong Hanzhe had also contacted some chemical plants, Chinese medicine factories and pearl and seafood factories at the Canton Fair, but Huai'an was focused on her studies, and he could not force her, so he had to find another way.

Besides his studies, he spent his free time sketching and gathering inspiration throughout Beijing, also carefully observing black markets and antique trading points to prepare for the future. For him, making money was paramount…
