Chapter 0360: Magical Girl

If a plan is well made, it must be executed strictly and swiftly according to the plan.

Both Zhao Fusheng and Tan Kaixuan were that kind of person.

Because the two understood that no matter what, talking alone couldn't accomplish anything; no matter how good the plan, without action, it was just empty talk.

So Zhao Fusheng simply dragged Tan Kaixuan to the bank to transfer money to Tan's father, settling the franchise matter first.

As for the agency rights, in Zhao Fusheng's words, they could be negotiated slowly.

After thinking it over, Zhao Fusheng decided to call Cheng Gong. It was more appropriate for him to handle this matter, since as a lawyer, compared to Tan's father's experience, Cheng Gong had more authority in handling legal documents and contracts.

Moreover, because he was an old acquaintance of Tan's father, there was no issue of a磨合 period between them.

Cheng Gong readily agreed. For him, although Zheng Yao had given him an appointment letter, Zhao Fusheng was the real boss in Cheng Gong's eyes. The matters in Binzhou were almost settled, so he indeed had the time.

Zhao Fusheng and Tan Kaixuan went downstairs. Just as they reached the bank entrance, not far away, Hu Xia and a few roommates were walking toward them.

Tan Kaixuan and Hu Xia exchanged a glance, nodded, said nothing, and each went their separate ways.

Life always moves forward; all things, good and bad, will dissipate in the dust of time. For an ex, whether meeting again or never seeing each other again, it's just a past tense with two extra letters, no longer connected.

Just like Tan Kaixuan and Hu Xia, they had parted ways amicably back then, and now their relationship was nothing more than exes.

At the bank counter, after the transfer was done, Zhao Fusheng smiled at Tan Kaixuan and said, "What, any thoughts?"

Tan Kaixuan naturally knew what he meant. He rolled his eyes and gave Zhao Fusheng a look of annoyance. "No thoughts."

Zhao Fusheng chuckled and nodded. "Good that you have no thoughts."

A good horse doesn't turn back to graze on old pasture. In Zhao Fusheng's view, Hu Xia was not a good match for Tan Kaixuan, but he wouldn't interfere in their affairs.

Zhao Fusheng didn't want to become a second Guan Zeyuan. Between friends, one could help with some things, but not too much, or else in the end, it was easy to end up pleasing neither side.

Simply put, don't meddle in others' affairs. Otherwise, even if you treat someone as a brother and ignore others' opinions, in the end, the one who stabs you in the back might easily be that brother.

Tan Kaixuan went to call his father. Zhao Fusheng checked the time and remembered that he had promised Fan Beibei to take her to the play area in Wanda Mall today. He quickly hailed a taxi and headed home.

When he arrived home, he saw little Fan Beibei already neatly dressed, sitting obediently on the sofa. Seeing Zhao Fusheng enter, she let out a cheer and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother, let's go."

Fan Beibei looked up and said to Zhao Fusheng.

"Huh?"

Zhao Fusheng was startled and said in surprise, "Beibei, you can call me brother?"

The little girl had always been a bit unclear in her speech, calling herself "guoguo, guoguo" all day long. Now that she suddenly called him "gege," Zhao Fusheng was still a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Yesterday, she just learned it somehow," Li Yuan said with a smile from the side. "She's been muttering it since she got up, saying you were taking her to the play castle. So she made me dress her and now she's waiting."

Zhao Fusheng laughed, picked up the little girl, and kissed her. "Our Beibei is so good. Come on, gege will take you to play."

"Great, great!" The little girl clapped her hands, her face full of excitement.

"Auntie, are you going to the mall too?" Zhao Fusheng asked Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded. "Mm, I'm going too. We can go together."

With Zhao Fusheng looking after her daughter, she could also go check out the mall. Recently, as the Spring Festival gradually passed, the mall's sales naturally stabilized. Usually, Zhao's mother and Li Yuan took turns at the finance office, while Zhao's father held down the manager's office.

Zhao Fusheng didn't want to interfere with that. The elders had their own careers; they knew what to do themselves.

The three of them took the car to the mall. Li Yuan went to the finance office to find Zhao's mother, while Zhao Fusheng took Fan Beibei and strolled over to the play castle.

Since it was nearing noon, there were quite a few people at the play castle. But fortunately, after the Spring Festival, Zhao's father had taken his son's advice and expanded the play castle's area. There were more and more toy attractions, and children were willing to drag their parents there. It had indeed livened up the whole mall.

Zhao Fusheng let Fan Beibei go in and play by herself, telling her to be careful not to bump or hurt herself. Then he stood outside with a smile, watching the little girl romp around inside.

There were only so many toys for kids to play with, like slides—climb up, slide down, and then giggle nonstop.

For Fan Beibei, what she enjoyed was the joy of playing with Zhao Fusheng.

In fact, the same went for Zhao Fusheng himself. He didn't really like noisy places, but accompanying Fan Beibei to play in the play castle made his mood unconsciously much lighter.

Perhaps in this world, the only person who could make him let down his guard, take off his disguise, and not have to think about so many things was this little girl.

They played for a full two hours. When Fan Beibei came out of the play castle, she was drenched in sweat and her little face was dirty.

"Look how wild you've been," Zhao Fusheng said with a smile. He crouched down to wipe the dust off the little girl's face, took her to wash her hands and face, and after cleaning her up, he laughed. "Beibei, are you hungry? Gege will take you to eat something, okay?"

The little girl nodded vigorously. "Great, great! Beibei wants to eat meat."

She had heard somewhere that eating meat could make her grow up fast, and recently she had become crazy about eating meat. At home, she barely ate vegetables anymore, which really gave Li Yuan a headache.

Children are in their growing years; being picky about food is not a good thing.

Zhao Fusheng burst out laughing, crouched down, and tapped Fan Beibei on the nose. "Little girl, you can't just eat meat. You have to eat vegetables and fruit too, so you can grow tall, you know?"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice. "You can't be as short as sister, you know."

Fan Beibei nodded and, like Zhao Fusheng, whispered, "I know, gege."

Then she cautiously looked left and right, leaned close to Zhao Fusheng's ear, and said, "Gege, be careful. Sister said she knows magic and can hear us when we say bad things about her."

Blinking his eyes, Zhao Fusheng looked at the little girl who was completely serious. Inside, ten thousand harmonious beasts galloped past. Fan Baobao, you crazy woman, you even fool little kids!
