Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

"Wow, Little Cheng, you have such a great appetite. No wonder you look healthier than Sixing." Dean Zhang said with a smile.

But he wasn't trying to criticize his son, he immediately added, "Working hard is good, but don't wear your body out, otherwise, when you're our age, you'll regret it."

"When you're free, you can practice the Five Animals Qigong I taught you."

"Hmm." Zhang Sixing simply responded.

Cheng Zhu spoke up at this time, "Dean Zhang, actually, sometimes I take Old Zhang to exercise together."

"Is that so?" Dean Zhang was a bit surprised.

In his memory, his son never liked exercising, it had been that way since childhood.

During Zhang Sixing's youth, even the suggestion of going hiking was met with reluctance.

Professor Jian, listening from the side, found it a bit unbelievable.

"Tell him yourself, how many times do you go to the gym each week now?" Cheng Zhu said with a smile.

"Two or three times, I guess." Zhang Sixing replied.

Dean Zhang and his wife exchanged a surprised glance, not noticing the hint of embarrassment hidden by their son.

His gym trips weren't because of Cheng Zhu, it was all thanks to the little internet celebrity Susu.

Many influencers in Hang City are proactive about exercising to maintain their figure.

Besides, the gym is a great place to take photos and gather content.

Many young women love going to gyms, yoga studios, Pilates... partly to keep in shape and partly to show off their disciplined, exquisite, and affluent lifestyles.

After all, private training sessions do cost a bit of money.

Susu is a very smart girl, she knows Zhang Sixing works hard, often cooking soup for him, taking him for walks, to the gym, showing a lot of daily care for his life.

Men who have been hurt often can't resist these small details.

People are strange sometimes.

When parents show the same care and concern, it might come off as annoying, causing impatience, or even a retort.

But if it's a pretty girl saying it, then it's... hehe, she really loves me, hehe!

At this moment, Dean Zhang and his wife naturally had no idea about the true reason behind it.

They only saw that after meeting Cheng Zhu, their son indeed underwent a lot of positive changes!

Looking at it this way, our Zhang family owes him quite a bit.

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room for a while, watching TV, eating fruit, and chatting for a bit.

It was then that Dean Zhang showed some interest in the short video platform.

"Cheng Zhu, your short video platform is launching these days, right? How are you feeling, nervous?" He asked with a smile.

When this little old man smiles, his eyes turn into slits.

Such elders always tend to give off a more kind and approachable vibe.

"Well, to say I'm not nervous would be a bit of a lie, I am a little nervous." Cheng Zhu replied.

This is about short videos! Cheng Zhu is fully aware of the potential future impact.

Whether he'll be able to replicate TikTok's success, he's not entirely sure.

He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Did you encounter any troubles along the way?" Professor Jian asked, "Feel free to tell us."

After asking, she added, "Old Zhang has been a dean for many years, he has a lot of experience in many things."

"Not as of now, everything from approvals to other matters has been going smoothly." Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.

He's no longer the person he used to be; he can solve many small problems by himself.

Cheng Zhu also now has familiar brokers, and as long as the money is in place, he can navigate various connections. Didn't he set up the problem with that despicable old counselor Deng before?

"That's good, I know you're reliable in handling things." Dean Zhang nodded in satisfaction.

But Cheng Zhu still understood the deeper meanings behind the words.

After staying at the house for about another half hour, Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu got up to leave.

As he stood up, his phone received a WeChat message, surprisingly from Zhang Qiqi.

"Junior, are you at Dean Zhang's house?"

Cheng Zhu was initially perplexed, but after a bit of thought, he figured Susu probably told her.

The two girls being influencers with Ancient Mountain Culture, having contact is quite normal.

As for how Susu knew, it would naturally be because Zhang Sixing told her.

Cheng Zhu knew clearly, Zhang Qiqi was just finding a topic to chat about.

He only replied with one word, "Yes."

And no matter what she might send after that, he had no intention of replying any further today.

Zhang Sixing saw them off on behalf of his parents, and after the door closed, Cheng Zhu immediately held the counselor's hand.

Chen Jieyu glanced down but said nothing, allowing him to lead her.

"Just like this, it's already good enough," she thought to herself.

When they reached the platform of the stairwell, Cheng Zhu softly asked, "Do you remember this place?"

The counselor's memories were instantly triggered.

As she was about to speak, her mouth was blocked, and it was as if a series of previous scenes was perfectly replaying in that moment.

Wearing a suit skirt and black stockings, she was directly pressed against the wall by Cheng Zhu.

The two of them kissed in the stairwell, with the sensor lights occasionally flickering on and off, setting the mood, repeatedly so.

They continued kissing until they had to part lips, with their noses touching, relying on their mouths to breathe heavily.

...

...

When leaving the stairwell, Chen Jieyu helplessly tugged down the hem of her skirt with both hands.

Just moments ago, with the lights off, Cheng Zhu took the opportunity to give a couple of firm squeezes, which made the hem of her skirt ride up a bit.
