After that incident, Gao Tianming and the others were a bit dejected.
"That old man was too detestable. He wasn't even hit, and he was trying to extort money. Zhang Tianxing, I support you. Good job hitting him, one less scoundrel if he'd died." Zhu Dachang said indignantly.
Zhang Tianxing shook his head. "Alright, stop boasting here. I was holding back just now. Even if the old man didn't get up, I wouldn't have hit him to death. At most, I would have given him some money."
"Were you just trying to scare him?" Wen Qing asked curiously. In that situation, she thought Zhang Tianxing was truly enraged and had scared all of them. They all thought Zhang Tianxing was serious.
Zhang Tianxing nodded. "Of course, I was scaring him. No matter how detestable he was, I don't have the right to kill someone, do I? I just wanted to scare him, and I didn't expect the old man to be scared off."
Gao Tianming looked at him with envy. "Zhang Tianxing, I thought we were the same, but now I realize we're different. You handled that situation much better than I would have."
Seeing Gao Tianming's spirits were low, Zhang Tianxing changed the subject. "Why don't you hurry up and contact your dad? The matter here is resolved, so he doesn't need to come over."
Gao Tianming responded with a hum and made a call, briefly explaining that Zhang Tianxing had scared the old man away.
"By the way, I'll pay for it," Gao Tianming said, still feeling a bit indebted to Zhang Tianxing.
Zhang Tianxing quickly waved his hands. "Save it. If you feel bad later, treat us to a good meal to calm our nerves."
Gao Tianming looked at Zhang Tianxing with surprise. What is a rich person? It's someone who has money but makes others treat them. The richer they are, the stingier they become.
However, he wouldn't back down. It was just a treat, no big deal. Surviving a disaster meant good fortune to come; they had indeed faced a minor tribulation today.
Wen Qing smiled, watching the two bicker.
A new year meant a new beginning. Wen Qing thought about her upcoming semester and, seeing Zhang Tianxing's achievements, felt a sense of urgency.
"Zhang Tianxing, tell us your secrets for making money. We want to learn how to become capitalists," Gao Tianming asked curiously.
Zhang Tianxing smiled. "A wise man doesn't show off his brilliance. It's hard to explain this properly. How about I tell you a joke instead?"
Everyone's curiosity was piqued. They asked how he made money, and he wanted to tell them a joke.
"Once upon a time, there was a little white rabbit in the forest. It got lost and wandered around until it met a little gray rabbit. It asked the little gray rabbit for directions. The little gray rabbit looked at the white rabbit and said, 'If you make me happy, I'll tell you the way.' The white rabbit thought for a moment and agreed. After the little gray rabbit had its fun, it pointed the white rabbit in a direction. The white rabbit walked and walked, but it still couldn't get out. It then met a little brown rabbit and asked for directions again. The little brown rabbit said, 'If you make me happy, I'll tell you the way.' The white rabbit reluctantly agreed. After the little brown rabbit had its fun, it showed the way out. The white rabbit got out and had a litter of bunnies. Do you know what color the bunnies were?"
The three were stunned. "What color are the bunnies?"
Zhang Tianxing laughed. "If you make me happy, I'll tell you!"
Upon hearing this answer, Wen Qing's face instantly turned red. She uttered two words: "Pervert!"
Gao Tianming and Zhu Dachang burst into laughter. "You're something else! To speak or not to speak, civility for you and me!"
Wen Qing glared at the three of them, annoyed. These three were getting more and more outrageous.
"I have a joke too. Do you want to hear it?" Zhu Dachang asked.
"As long as it's not vulgar, you can tell it. If it's vulgar, then shut up!" Wen Qing said irritably.
Zhu Dachang was speechless. What was this favoritism? Zhang Tianxing told a vulgar joke, and she laughed, but when he wanted to tell one, she told him to shut up. Fine, he'd tell her the joke.
"In the forest, an elephant and a little white rabbit were defecating. The elephant suddenly asked the little white rabbit, 'Do you shed fur?' The little white rabbit shook its head and said, 'No.' Seeing this answer, the elephant picked up the little white rabbit and wiped its butt."
"Ugh, your joke is so disgusting!" Wen Qing said helplessly.
"I'm not finished yet. The next day, the elephant was eating with a little squirrel. After eating, the elephant asked the little squirrel, 'Do you shed fur?' The little squirrel shook its head and said, 'No.' Seeing this answer, the elephant picked up the little squirrel and wiped its mouth."
"What's so funny about your joke? There's no punchline," Gao Tianming said dismissively.
"I'm not finished yet. After the elephant wiped its mouth, the little squirrel said, 'I'm not a little squirrel, I'm yesterday's little white rabbit.'" Zhu Dachang finished the anti-joke.
The three of them burst into laughter. Zhang Tianxing looked at Zhu Dachang and thought, "Good brother, if you keep developing like this, you'll become a great player."
Wen Qing was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. "Zhu Dachang, how can you be so disgusting?"
"I can't take it anymore, I need some 'happy water' or I won't be able to walk," Wen Qing suddenly demanded.
Gao Tianming and Zhu Dachang looked at Zhang Tianxing. Seeing their gazes, Zhang Tianxing let out a dry laugh.
"How about this, I'll tell you a joke first."
"I don't want to hear jokes, I want to drink Coke, I want 'happy water'!" Wen Qing pouted her pretty little mouth.
"Listen to me. Do you know why Sun Wukong always pulled out a bottle of Coke every time he couldn't beat a demon on the journey to the West?"
"Huh?"
"Journey to the West, Monkey King! Coke?"
"These things are completely unrelated, with no connection whatsoever."
Gao Tianming, Zhu Dachang, and Wen Qing stood there, stunned. They didn't understand Zhang Tianxing's intention.
"Because Coke kills sperm!" Zhang Tianxing burst into laughter.
Wen Qing looked utterly bewildered. She didn't understand why Zhang Tianxing was laughing.
Gao Tianming and Zhu Dachang were despairing. How had Zhang Tianxing become like this? Did rich people just like this kind of humor?
Wen Qing suddenly blushed. She stomped hard on Zhang Tianxing's foot. "Zhang Tianxing, you're so boring!"
"Do you still want to drink 'happy water'?" Zhang Tianxing asked with a smile.
"Drink your sister!" Wen Qing was furious. This Zhang Tianxing was doing it on purpose, trying to tease her. She was stupid for coming here looking for trouble.
Zhu Dachang and Gao Tianming were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight. Zhang Tianxing was too smooth. They had to admit defeat. When it came to picking up girls, Zhang Tianxing was the master. Compared to him, they were far behind.
