If you take one step forward, you’ll find salvation, but if you take a step back, it’s a bottomless abyss... asking about the mountains and the future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: You’re so bad! You actually tricked me again... People have joys and sorrows, partings, and reunions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: People only get tricked when they have bad thoughts. Why do so many people get cheated out of money by scammers? Because they’re greedy. So Tong Xin, you must remember, human nature is inherently good; always try to see the good in people... closing your eyes also reveals unintended thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: How dare you so righteously preach to others? Are you not at all guilty? Feelings remain unexpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Although I’m not a good person in the absolute sense, I’ve never bullied anyone. Because of this, I never feel guilty facing anyone... facing the white blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: Well, your mindset is really something. Indeed, the saying holds true that good people don’t live long, and bad ones linger for thousands of years. With your attitude, you could live a hundred years... blades hiding among cattle without full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Live a hundred years? That might be a good wish if said to someone else, but for me, it’s like a curse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a student of the Daoist way; our lifespan begins at a hundred years. It’s like wishing Bill Gates a monthly income of millions — he’d be upset enough to fight you... relying on poetry and wine to nurture relaxation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Tong Xin didn’t reply for about ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but say: What’s wrong? Did Mr. Yan give you more work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another seven or eight seconds passed, and still no reply from Tong Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Zhang Jingdong thought of something, then said: Are you out of comebacks this time, old friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five or six more seconds, Tong Xin finally replied: Alright, you win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Hahahahahaha... Honestly, this is my most unexpected win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: You’re so carried away with yourself. Tell the truth, did you not have a comeback for that line either?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Leisurely without a care, playing with the little cherished grandson at times. Also lazy in engraving the lotus shapes in perpetuity, what harm is there if my mind feels like cold ashes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: Fine, you win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: So now, shouldn’t you honor the bet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: Sorry, Mr. Yan just gave me another assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Tong Xin, aren’t you being a sore loser? It’s already past 11 o’clock, how could Mr. Yan possibly arrange work for you at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Xin: She ordered from Natural Inn, I’m going downstairs to pick up the food now. By the way, she ordered portions for three people, with a lot of food. So she might invite you to join us for lunch later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong was just about to reply when Yan Ning actually sent a message: I’ve ordered from Natural Inn, would you like to join?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: How did you know I was at the company?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: What do you think?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Your words are a bit terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: I saw your car in the underground parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Alright, I’ll come up shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: No rush. If you have things to do, you can come up later. I’ll wait for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: How could I dare keep you waiting? Honestly, I said it on purpose earlier, and I’ll come up now for a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: Tch... I really can’t figure you out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Since you can’t figure me out, maybe you should try guessing me differently later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: Don’t mess around, I’m just inviting you for lunch to chat about the current domestic economic situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: Mr. Yan, why do you speak so bluntly? What do you mean by messing around? I mean let’s do a heart-guessing from the Esoteric Sect, feel each other’s souls; it’s the purest form of soul exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, having been with such an enlightened person like me for so long, you’re still so worldly — I’m utterly disappointed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: Humph... tricked by you again. Alright, alright... I’m worldly, okay? I’m not good enough for you, is that it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You needn’t come up later. I ordered plenty of meat; how can a transcendent like you eat our worldly food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: There you go misunderstanding again. Meat may pass through your body, but Buddha stays in your heart. As long as Buddha is in your heart, eating and drinking are trivial things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: But you’ve committed Buddhism’s unforgivable precept of lust; how do you explain that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: You’re misunderstanding again. Buddhist disciples are divided into two kinds. One kind is the ordained monks who practice Buddhism daily in the temple and thus, cannot be close to women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other kind are lay disciples, usually known as laypeople, who can marry and be close to women. I belong to the latter, understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong originally wanted to add, \"Besides, in today’s society, even an abbot can you-know-what, so how much more general disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he thought twice before sending and deleted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: Fine, but you did admit you’re part of the Buddhist Sect, so you must not act improperly later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: You seem to forget I’m also part of the Daoist Sect, and as a Daoist, my thoughts are highly open, all about freedom and spontaneity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ning: So which sect are you truly from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong: I’m from every sect and yet none. As long as it benefits me, I can be from any sect; if not, then I’m not from any.\u003C\u002Fp>",958,"2026-06-05T16:20:53.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a2cc6f3c4e5ebd4557d494e54ddbe794ceb460ad8acfb7b7e499fd2a6c2a9e1","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-1406","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-1404",1411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-cover.jpg"]
