Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

At this moment she should be in her thirties, but she looks only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Compared to Zhang Jingdong’s impression of her, she is now obviously more mature and more alluring.

And her allure is not just about her attire or figure, but it is a kind of charm that emanates from within.

If Yan Ning is the epitome of youthful charm, she is the pinnacle of mature allure.

Zhang Lihua was caught off guard and quickly stopped in her tracks.

Zhang Jingdong’s lips curled into a sly smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

He extended his hand towards Zhang Lihua.

Zhang Lihua then regained her composure and quickly appraised the man before her.

For some reason, she felt she had seen him somewhere before, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart.

She reached out to shake his hand and then said, "Boss Zhang, are you from Hong County?"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully making physical contact with the target, awarding 50,000 yuan!"

Zhang Jingdong smiled and nodded: "Of course, please have a seat."

Zhang Lihua sat opposite Zhang Jingdong, looked at him carefully again, and then quickly recalled.

She was sure she had seen him somewhere, but she just couldn’t remember when or where.

She then asked: "Boss Zhang, I didn’t expect you to be so young, so I want to ask boldly, are you doing business on your own or managing your family’s business?"

Zhang Jingdong answered truthfully: "I’m actually going to university in Jiangdu right now, while also starting my own business, doing some business in Jiangdu."

Zhang Lihua suddenly understood, and at the same time was a bit surprised: "So that’s how it is, you truly are accomplished at a young age!"

Zhang Jingdong leaned back on his chair and sighed: "I can’t help but strive for success at a young age; after all, I promised the woman I love that I would make something of myself by eighteen and be with her."

Zhang Lihua clearly didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong to say that and was momentarily stunned.

Zhang Jingdong saw her a rare bit of cuteness and continued: "Guess who she is?"

Zhang Lihua was completely bewildered!

She looked seriously at Zhang Jingdong, seeing that he wasn’t joking or playing a prank, she shook her head: "I... I can’t guess."

"You actually can’t guess?" Zhang Jingdong sighed on purpose, "Alright, let me tell you a story."

"That year I was twelve, just learned to ride a bicycle..."

Zhang Jingdong earnestly and in detail recounted to Zhang Lihua his memories of that summer day.

Zhang Lihua was still a bit shocked at first, but when Zhang Jingdong mentioned the red Xiali car at the entrance of Lihua Restaurant, she instantly felt as if something hit her heart, and she immediately fell into deep memories.

And when Zhang Jingdong spoke about the car collision event, Zhang Lihua suddenly understood why she felt a sense of familiarity and warmth upon seeing Zhang Jingdong earlier.

Because although his appearance had changed, his eyes were almost identical to his eyes back then.

As she continued to listen to his account, her gaze fixed on him, a trace of girlish shyness quietly appeared on her face.

As the saying goes, all romantic words in the world pale in comparison to a woman’s blush, especially when the other party is a mature woman.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this and immediately said: "I have never forgotten the promise she made to me, in my view, that was a woman’s true love for a man."

"So since I was sixteen, I began studying and making money tirelessly, just to ensure that when I went looking for her, she could be with me without any worries."

"And now, I can proudly say to her, ’Lihua, I want to buy your restaurant, I want to be with you, are you willing?’"

Zhang Lihua felt the affection from Zhang Jingdong’s words, but she never thought he would confess directly like this.

She was stunned for a good ten seconds, then shyly and with disbelief, along with a hint of joy, she said: "You... I... Aren’t... Is it really you?"

Zhang Jingdong nodded, stood up directly, rolled the left pant leg above the knee, and pointed to a scar below his knee saying: "This scar is left from the fall back then."

"Didn’t you take me to the hospital back then? You should remember my injury was to my right arm and left leg, right?"

"If you still don’t believe me, I even remember you lived in Building 3 of Boya Garden."

"You frequently wore a red floral dress and a sky-blue floral dress at the time, and often wore a white watch on your left hand and a golden bracelet on your right hand."

"Oh, and your earrings were silver, and back then you hadn’t permed your hair, it was long, straight, and black."

At this point, Zhang Lihua was somewhat moved and shook her hand: "You don’t need to say more, I believe you are him."

Zhang Jingdong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "So... you’ve accepted me?"

Right now, Zhang Lihua’s heart was truly in a bit of turmoil.

On one hand, when she met Zhang Jingdong back then, he was just a youthful, innocent little boy.

And now, although he is only nineteen, to her, he is at most a sunny young man.

Moreover, what she said to him back then was naturally teasing him, definitely not a promise.

But on the other hand, Zhang Jingdong’s current actions deeply moved her.

After all these years, he still remembers many things about her, which shows he not only hasn’t forgotten her but has been liking her all along.
