Early morning call for recommendation votes! The number of recommendation votes has been really low lately!

Everyone was surprised, and so was Wang Hao.
Actually, he knew that Zhao Zhenhao sending him this watch might not have had the best intentions, but he hadn’t expected the guy to admit it so frankly, and even go ahead and apologize to him!
“Um… look at what you’ve done,” Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed: “You’re acting like I did something to you. It’s really not a big deal, and didn’t Ice Princess say she was also preparing to give me one? Two watches together make eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred, which is a pretty good number…”
Speaking of which, this Zhao Zhenhao really was something else. Others would probably never apologize for something like this—apologizing after giving a watch worth over four hundred thousand, what a pitfall…
...
“My apology is mainly because of my ulterior motives,” Zhao Zhenhao sat back down and then said with a smile: “Yesterday after I went home, I had a talk with Uncle Bai. He said that you… um, indeed, you and Miss Yaning are purely friends, which Miss Yaning herself confirmed.”
Is that so? Oh my, it’s so embarrassing, it’s like I did something to her…
“It’s nothing, really,” Wang Hao scratched his hair: “You’re being so polite…”
“It’s the right thing to do,” Zhao Zhenhao nodded: “If you don’t mind, can we become friends?”
Now that’s some friend with significance…
“Well, as long as you don’t mind my humble background,” Wang Hao said cheerfully: “Being friends with you would be me reaching for the stars, heh heh.”
“Not at all, I consider it an honor,” Zhao Zhenhao said: “Having a genuine good friend who is open-hearted and doesn’t engage in scheming is not something easily found.”
That’s something you rich folks worry about, us commoners don’t have that many calculations…
“For what you just said, we need to have a drink,” Wang Hao laughed: “More friends, more pathways, heh heh.”
“Thank you.” As soon as Wang Hao agreed, Zhao Zhenhao immediately hailed a waiter: “Could you please bring a serving of pepper steak, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and borscht,” then he looked at Wang Hao: “What would you like to eat?”
“I’ll have the same,” Wang Hao, clueless about Western food and not picky, simply raised two fingers: “Two servings.”
Zhao Zhenhao said: “Open a bottle of Porto, thank you.”
Soon the wine was served, Zhao Zhenhao and Wang Hao poured their glasses and clinked them together: “To our new friendship, cheers!” “Cheers!”
With that drink, they were truly friends now. Zhao Zhenhao smiled and said: “Yesterday I heard Meng Fei and others calling you Brother Hao, if you don’t mind, may I call you that too?”
“Let’s drop the formalities, it feels too distant, just Hao is fine,” Wang Hao smiled and nodded: “Then I’ll call you Zhao, heh heh.”
“Great,” Zhao Zhenhao took another sip of wine and said: “Brother Hao, you… what do you think of Miss Yaning?”
“Ah? Ice Princess?” Wang Hao thought for a moment: “She’s great, actually a really nice person, truly caring about friends, and so beautiful. Being friends with her is my honor, hehe.”
“Yes,” Zhao Zhenhao let out a soft sigh and said: “I’ve actually liked Miss Yaning for a long time, since the first time I saw her from afar, two years, six months, and eight days ago.”
Wow, he even remembers the exact count!
Two years ago, that was when Ice Princess was truly like a flower in her twenty-first year!
“If you’ve known each other for that long,” Wang Hao said: “How is it that you only had your first matchmaking encounter the other day?”
“You also know that there are just too many people chasing her,” Zhao Zhenhao helplessly shook his head and said, “Just within our circle, I know of thirteen people my age who are fairly competitive, and that includes me. Fang Wenbin, who came later yesterday, is also one of them. As for those outside our four big families, who knows how many there are.”
Wang Hao: “…”
Damn, the competition is so fierce!
“Um…” Wang Hao cautiously asked, “You guys won’t actually come to blows over her, will you?”
“That won’t happen,” Zhao Zhenhao nodded. “But it’s like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their special powers.”
Wang Hao: “…”
“Um… Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?” Wang Hao felt that this was all very surreal: “Miss Ice Princess is just a woman, no matter how beautiful—sure, you could even say that she’s peerlessly beautiful, but it shouldn’t be like this, right?”
“It’s not just because she’s beautiful,” Zhao Zhenhao’s eyes were very gentle as he spoke as in a dream, “You haven’t been in contact with Miss Yaning for very long, so you probably don’t know. Actually, Miss Yaning is a woman who could be called perfect. She’s very kind, loves animals, cares a lot about her friends, and is the typical cold-on-the-outside warm-on-the-inside kind of person. The first time I met her, she was buying food for a beggar and even left him some money—know this, people like us hardly ever feel sympathy for beggars, as our life principle is to create everything with our own hands, and we absolutely do not give handouts unconditionally. Yet, Miss Yaning just did so, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.”
Hmm, I can picture that; the Ice Princess was very friendly towards Little Bai the first time she came to our place…
“Mmm, I can imagine that; Miss Ice Princess really is quite a good person,” Wang Hao said curiously, “What else?”
“What else?” Zhao Zhenhao said with a smile, “The largest charity fund in our Heavenly People’s Republic at the moment is called Tianci Fund, which sponsors children from poor mountainous areas who can’t afford education. You know about this, right?”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
I have no idea… I haven’t been here long…
Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise, “The Tianci Fund you mentioned, is it Miss Ice Princess’s?”
“Exactly,” Zhao Zhenhao nodded, “Miss Ice Princess earns a lot every year, but sixty percent of what she makes almost all goes into this fund. Otherwise, why do you think her popularity is so high? Everyone in our circle knows this. So whenever Miss Yaning shoots a film, our four big families almost all go all out in promoting it. The four big families, you know, even though they appear amicable on the surface, each is secretly holding their breath to surpass the other three, right? But uniquely towards Miss Yaning, the four big families almost have no prejudice at all. This can even be said to be a miracle!”
It seems our Ice Princess really is amazing; at least so far, I really haven’t found any faults with her—well, a cold nature doesn’t count; it’s forced…
“That explains it,” Wang Hao laughed, “Indeed, after interacting with her a few times, I’ve found that Miss Ice Princess truly is a great person. It’s just a pity, precisely because so many people are chasing her, that has made her so cold now. Zhao, no offense, but while it’s normal to chase a girl, doing it in such a formal way like you is problematic. It easily creates a lot of pressure, and that’s very bad, very bad indeed.”
Hearing Wang Hao’s words, Zhao Zhenhao was momentarily stunned.
According to his understanding, when pursuing a girl one naturally needed to display his most elegant, coolest side—that would surely capture a beauty’s heart. But Wang Hao was saying that this was really not good?
“Why?” Zhao Zhenhao was certainly not stupid; he knew Wang Hao would not speak without reason and asked, “Why is that not good?”
“Think about it,” as their Western meals were served, Wang Hao took a sip of wine, “What you’re doing might work effortlessly when picking up ordinary girls—young and rich, handsome, definitely a minute killer, right? But the problem is, who is Miss Ice Princess? Would she fancy such vanity? Not to diss you, but she is pretty much immune to all that you have shown her. In terms of family background, she’s no less than you, right? In terms of abilities, she’s also not inferior to you, correct? And when it comes to looks, isn’t she streets ahead of you? With you showing no advantages in any of these aspects, how could you possibly succeed?”
Wang Hao’s words left Zhao Zhenhao completely dumbfounded!
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Wang Hao was right; in these three aspects, the Ice Princess was stronger than him, and he even had the flaw of being a germaphobe…
“So what do I do?” Just moments ago, Zhao Zhenhao, proud as a swan, suddenly turned into a beaten rooster, “After hearing you, it seems I don’t have any advantages at all. In terms of family, she’s the only heiress of the Bai family, in beauty, she’s universally acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly People’s Republic, and in ability, I can’t compare… So does that mean I have no chance?”
