Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Besides, he just said that in order for her to be with him without any worries, he has been working hard to earn money over the past few years. That sentence really hits hard.

And all these years, Zhang Lihua has been alone.

Though there are many people in the county pursuing her, some even resorting to extreme ways just to be with her, she has never given in.

Firstly, at her core, she is a very proud person, feeling that she does not belong to this county, staying only to care for her sick parents.

Secondly, she is someone who seeks romance and perfect love, preferring to remain alone if she doesn’t encounter a romantic relationship.

And now Zhang Jingdong suddenly appears before her.

He fell for her when he was 12 and took her playful remark back then as a promise.

And after 7 years, he worked hard, became a better version of himself, and actually came to find her.

Honestly, these factors in her heart are already genuinely romantic!

However...

She is already 36 this year, and though she is unique, she knows they simply cannot be together.

This is a county, and now it’s 2004. Not to mention if they really got married, they’d drown in spit from everyone around them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lihua hesitated for a moment and then said, "Jingdong, firstly...what you said just now really moved me, and I do believe in your feelings for me."

"But I... after all these years, back then you were just a little boy. I said that to you more to help you grow up healthy."

"And now... I... I don’t know how to say it, I really don’t want to break your heart..."

Zhang Jingdong seemed to have expected her to say this and interrupted, "You’re married?"

Zhang Lihua hesitated a bit and then shook her head, "No, but..."

"Do you have a boyfriend now?"

"...Also no, but..."

Zhang Jingdong immediately laughed, "I know what you want to say, and I didn’t expect you to accept my confession now either."

"After all these years, I’ve always liked you, but I’ve not been in your life. Your memories of me must be of that youthful and naive little boy."

"I came this time mainly to tell you that I’m grown up now, in every aspect,"

"My thoughts are mature, my views on love are mature, and my career is also mature. Do you have any friends doing business in Jiangdu?"

Zhang Lihua heard the maturity in Zhang Jingdong’s words and nodded, "Yes, why?"

"What’s the approximate value of his assets?"

"Over ten million,"

"Then give him a call now."

"Huh? Why should I call him?"

"Ask him a question."

"What question?"

"Ask him if he knows the name of the boss of Jiangdu Dongsheng Group."

"This... why ask this?"

"Just trust me, okay? After you make this call, I can discuss many more things with you."

Zhang Lihua hesitated, seeing how decisive Zhang Jingdong was, she surprisingly nodded, "...Alright."

She then took her Cellphone from her bag and called the person.

The person is Liu Chunling, Zhang Lihua’s junior high classmate who now runs a decoration company in Jiangdu with her husband.

The company is not small, earning several million a year. Her husband drives a Land Rover, and she drives a BMW.

Their relationship has always been excellent. When Liu Chunling was short of funds for starting the decoration company, she called Zhang Lihua.

Without a word, Zhang Lihua lent her 2 million.

Now every time Liu Chunling returns to Hong County, she always invites her out to eat.

Liu Chunling was at a beauty salon when she saw the call from Zhang Lihua and hurriedly answered, "Hello, Lihua."

"Lingling, are you busy now?"

"Not busy, what’s up?"

Zhang Lihua glanced at Zhang Jingdong, feeling a bit nervous and worried, with a hint of embarrassment, she asked, "Do you know a Dongsheng Group in Jiangdu?"

"Dongsheng Group, of course! They are currently the most promising group company in Jiangdu."

"Although it was founded just under half a year ago, its entertainment company, real estate company, internet company, and clothing company are all thriving, even their bar is the hottest in Jiangdu now."

Zhang Lihua somewhat anticipated that the group company might be reputable in Jiangdu, given how confident Zhang Jingdong was just now when mentioning it.

But upon hearing Liu Chunling’s words, she was shocked.

Firstly, the group was founded not even half a year ago, and secondly, its momentum is this strong.

She vaguely imagined something, and with an unbelievable look asked, "Lingling, is this... true? Why do you know this group company so well?"

"It’s because one of their real estate projects is about to finish, and the next step is interior decoration. Our decoration company is actively working to win their project."

Zhang Lihua still found it unbelievable, but knowing Liu Chunling wouldn’t deceive her,

she continued to ask, "Then... do you know the name of the boss of this group company?"

"Of course, their boss is Zhang Jingdong, and he’s from our Hong County! I’m currently pulling strings to meet this talented young compatriot!"

"You know, he’s only 19 this year and still a university student. He’s doing business while studying. Tsk tsk, this guy is simply a business prodigy!"

Now Zhang Lihua was utterly shocked!
