Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1526: Chapter 574: Secret Midnight Meeting with Qi Siyuan

Even though they had a good chat last night, there was still some unfamiliarity from meeting for the first time. But now, they’re chatting like old friends who haven’t seen each other in years, so familiar.

Xu Nuo’s mom then gave her daughter a meaningful look and said, ”Alright, stop chatting for now, let’s eat.”

Xu Donghai then realized and said, ”Alright, alright, Jingdong, let’s eat first!”

Zhang Jingdong then gestured with his hand, ”Please, go ahead!”

Once at the table, the two continued chatting while eating.

Xu Nuo couldn’t help but say, ”Dad, you always told me not to talk while eating or sleeping. Why are you forgetting this family rule now?”

Xu Donghai was momentarily stunned and then replied, ”That’s only when it’s just our family eating together. Since Jingdong is our guest of honor, we don’t need to follow that rule.”

”By the way, Yuanyuan is also our guest of honor, so this year you don’t need to follow that rule either. You can chat freely.”

After saying that, Xu Donghai directly turned to Zhang Jingdong and asked, ”I didn’t expect you to know Tai Chi. Is that practical in a fight?”

Zhang Jingdong glanced at Xu Nuo and replied, ”Of course it is. In my view, Tai Chi’s combat power is no less than that of Baji Fist.”

”Really? But in my impression, Tai Chi has always been soft. How does it work in combat?”

”It mainly relies on two points: one is ’neutralizing force’ to deflect the opponent’s attack power.”

”The other is ’four ounces to move a thousand pounds,’ using close-range strikes and relay counterattacks to hit the opponent.”

”Actually, in my opinion, any martial art can be used in real combat once it’s practiced to a certain level. After all, these martial arts originated from ancient battlefields. If they weren’t practical, they wouldn’t have existed in the first place.”

Xu Donghai nodded in agreement, ”That’s the logic... In that case, Jingdong, if you have the chance, could you teach me a thing or two? I’d like to learn some other martial arts to enhance and complement my skills.”

”No problem, I’ll definitely do my best to teach you!”

Xu Donghai knew many masters are reluctant to teach their skills, so when he saw Zhang Jingdong agreeing so readily, he immediately said, ”Thanks a lot.”

”You don’t need to thank me.”

In his heart, Zhang Jingdong was thinking: Your daughter is almost my girlfriend now, why be so formal?

Saying this, he turned to look at Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo watching her dad and Zhang Jingdong chat so happily made her inexplicably joyous.

When she saw Zhang Jingdong’s gaze, she vaguely understood the ”deep meaning” in his eyes, and her face instantly turned rosy.

At that moment, Xu Donghai glanced at his daughter and said, ”Nuonuo, Jingdong is an exceptional talent in both literature and martial arts. When you return to Jiangdu, make sure to learn from him!”

Zhang Jingdong didn’t expect his future father-in-law to be assisting him, thinking to himself that agreeing to teach martial arts earlier was indeed worthwhile.

He immediately said, ”Uncle, rest assured. Once we return to Jiangdu, I’ll make sure to take good care of Xu Nuo.”

Although Xu Nuo felt slightly embarrassed, she had already expressed her feelings to this guy last night, so upon hearing his assurance, her fair face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of happiness.

Her mom saw this and exchanged a glance with Xu Donghai, then said, ”Boss Zhang, we’ll rely on you then.”

”To be honest, when Nuonuo decided to go to university in Jiangdu, her father and I were a little uneasy, especially with the incident during this trip home. Please help out, and we’ll definitely thank you well in the future!”

Zhang Jingdong chuckled and shook his head, ”Auntie, you’re being too polite. Nuonuo and I are good friends now, and both you and Uncle trust and acknowledge me, so I will surely take good care of Nuonuo.”

”I can assure you incidents like before won’t happen again, or else you and Uncle can hold me accountable!”

Once Xu Nuo’s parents heard Zhang Jingdong say this, they both sighed in relief and looked at Xu Nuo.

”Nuonuo, shouldn’t you thank Boss Zhang?”

Xu Nuo thought to herself, you all want me to thank him? Yesterday, he dared take advantage of me. Who knows what he’ll do once we’re in Jiangdu?

But she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

She then gave Zhang Jingdong a light sideways glance and said, ”Alright, thank you, Boss Zhang, is that okay?”

Her mom immediately followed up, ”Tut, how come you’re not sincere at all? Try again!”

Zhang Jingdong quickly said, ”Auntie, no need. Given our current relationship, saying this might come across as a bit formal.”

”Alright, since you say that, Auntie understands. You can interact freely in the future.”

Shortly after finishing breakfast, Xu Donghai said to Zhang Jingdong, ”Jingdong, your Auntie and I have some matters to attend to, so we need to go out now. If you need anything, feel free to call me anytime.”

Zhang Jingdong nodded immediately, ”Okay, take care you two.”

Xu Donghai stood up and turned to Xu Nuo, ”Nuonuo, take Jingdong and the others around for a good look, and if you need anything, go to Aunt Fang.”

Xu Nuo nodded in response, ”Alright.”

Once her parents had left, Xu Nuo let out a sigh of relief and turned to Zhang Jingdong, ”What’s going on between you and my dad?”

Zhang Jingdong smiled and explained what happened earlier that morning.

After hearing this, Xu Nuo suddenly understood, ”So that’s how it is. No wonder, my dad has always been a martial arts enthusiast.”

Zhang Jingdong’s eyes showed a hint of smugness, ”And I happen to be a martial arts expert, so you definitely can’t escape now!”

Xu Nuo didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong to be so straightforward. She instinctively glanced at Qi Siyuan, who was still eating, then bashfully but with a hint of delight, gave Zhang Jingdong a playful look.

”What nonsense are you saying!”
