Chapter 41 Both school beauties work for him
Zhang Jingdong watched Lin Shishi enter the dormitory building, then went to the West University.
For the other dormitories, he had routinely found people on the spot, but when he arrived downstairs at West One Girls' Dormitory, he hesitated for a moment, then called Xiao Fei.
The phone rang only twice before it was answered: "Hello, Zhang Teacher!"
After hearing just that one sentence, Zhang Jingdongsomewhat regretted calling her.
Her tone seemed respectful, but also carried a hint of inexplicable teasing.
So Zhang Jingdong felt that if he had any other contact with her besides their teacher-student relationship, she would definitely cause him trouble.
But since he had called, he certainly couldn't say it was nothing, so he simply said, "Are you in the dormitory building right now?"
To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Jingdong truly hoped she would say she wasn't there, so he wouldn't have to see her or owe her this favor.
But things in this world are always such that the more you fear something, the more it comes to you.
He only heard Xiao Fei reply, "Yes, what's up?"
Zhang Jingdong secretly sighed, "...Can you come down for a moment now? I have something I'd like you to help with."
At this, Xiao Fei was suddenly a bit surprised: "Zhang Teacher, how do you know which dormitory building I live in?"
Oh my goodness, how could he have forgotten that!
Just as he had known which dormitory Lin Shishi lived in from the beginning, it was Lu Yuan who had told everyone that Xiao Fei lived in West One Girls' Dormitory.
And because Lin Shishi and Xiao Fei were the two beauties of West University, and coincidentally one lived in East One and the other in West One, Zhang Jingdonghad remembered it.
As a result, he was slightly careless, and this girl actually seized on that point!
She really isn't easy to deal with!
However, Zhang Jingdong held a Damocles sword over her, so he said directly, "Don't talk about all this nonsense. Do you want to help or not? If you don't want to help, I'll find someone else!"
Xiao Fei instantly complied: "No, no, no... I'll be right down now, one minute... just one minute!"
Five minutes later, the girl finally emerged from the building.
Compared to Lin Shishi's bare face, she wasn't wearing makeup either, but she had on a black camisole and white hot pants.
Her fair arms and long legs were completely exposed, truly a beauty with skin like ice and bones like jade, a rare gem in the world.
Zhang Jingdong said irritably, "Didn't I tell you last time not to dress so revealingly when you see me at night?"
Xiao Fei blinked her beautiful eyes: "But Zhang Teacher, it's so hot these two days. If I wore long sleeves and big jeans, how hot would that be!"
"And you also said at the time that I looked good dressed like this, so I specifically wore this for you to see. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't give them this benefit!"
Zhang Jingdong pursed his lips: "Alright, let's talk business. I need to distribute some flyers, but since you're in a girls' dormitory, I can't go in, so I'd like you to help."
"But I won't let you help for free. I'll give you 200 yuan, okay?"
"Distribute... distribute flyers?"
Xiao Fei was surprised at first, but quickly reacted.
If Zhang Jingdong was really doing a flyer distribution part-time job, he probably wouldn't earn 200 yuan for a whole night, so how could he say he'd give her 200.
Moreover, that night he had confidently said that he had many ways to make money.
So she hesitated: "What kind of flyers are they, that they would trouble our Zhang Teacher to deliver them personally?"
When Zhang Jingdong heard this, and then saw the look in the girl's eyes, he immediately understood that she might have figured something out.
And given her delicate and noble demeanor, she certainly had never done anything like distributing flyers.
If he didn't tell her clearly, she might not accept, and even if she accepted for his sake, she might not do a good job. Then he would have both owed a favor and failed to achieve the promotional effect.
So he simply said, "Alright, I'll tell you. I've opened a restaurant on Ziqiang Road, opposite the school gate, and it's opening this Saturday, so I need to do some promotion these two days."
Xiao Fei was immediately shocked when she heard this!
Although she had vaguely guessed this, she hadn't dared to imagine that Zhang Jingdong had actually opened a restaurant himself!
After all, everyone was still a student. Although her own family was well-off, she knew how difficult it was to open a restaurant and how much capital it required.
But she quickly thought of Zhang Jingdong's master-level ocarina skills, and his confidence when he said he could make money without relying on the ocarina, and would always keep it as a hobby.
Then she said, "You really opened a restaurant yourself?"
Zhang Jingdong pursed his lips: "Do you think I need to lie to you?"
"That's true!" Xiao Fei then extended her hand: "Alright, give me the flyers. I promise to take care of every dormitory in this building for you!"
Zhang Jingdong saw that she was quite loyal and didn't suspect anything else, so he immediately opened his bag and gave her the last stack of flyers.
But he didn't expect that after Xiao Fei took the flyers, she didn't go directly into the building, but instead started looking at them first.
Zhang Jingdong was about to ask, when Xiao Feisuddenly exclaimed: "400 square meters, and such amazing decor... Zhang Teacher, how much did your restaurant cost?"
Zhang Jingdong was too lazy to waste words with her: "I said, why don't you hurry up and distribute these flyers first? We can talk about this when I have time later?"
Seeing that Zhang Jingdong was getting a bit annoyed, Xiao Fei quickly said appropriately: "Okay, I'll go now. I'll call you after I'm done distributing them..."
Saying that, she gave Zhang Jingdong a deep look, then turned and went into the dormitory building.
The moment she turned around, Zhang Jingdongimmediately slipped away, heading straight for Jiangdu Industrial University.
As soon as he entered the Jiangdu Industrial Universitygate, the two girls he had hired first called to say they were done.
Zhang Jingdong then went to their dormitory building.
At this time, the two of them were already waiting at the spot where they had met Zhang Jingdong in the afternoon.
However, after this meeting, Zhang Jingdong did not immediately give them money, but instead said: "Don't rush, ladies. I'll verify it first. It's not that I don't trust you, but to ensure we achieve our promotional goal."
As he spoke, he went to the building manager's window next to their dormitory entrance.
Zhang Jingdong directly took out a 100 yuan bill and handed it to the dormitory manager auntie: "Auntie, can I use your internal phone here to find someone?"
The other party was originally hesitant, but as soon as she saw Zhang Jingdong place the money directly on her desk, she immediately nodded, then pushed the phone over.
Zhang Jingdong casually dialed 0521, then pressed speakerphone.
Soon, the other side connected: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Did two beautiful girls just come to your dormitory to distribute flyers for a restaurant?"
As soon as Zhang Jingdong said this, the two girls behind him instantly understood what he was doing, and couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Fortunately, they hadn't dared to be lazy just now, otherwise they would have lost both face and money.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
As soon as this was said, both girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zhang Jingdong did not stop, but instead called four more dormitories in a row.
After receiving affirmative answers from all of them, Zhang Jingdong finally stopped.
At this time, the two girls' faces were a bit pale with nervousness.
Zhang Jingdong then said: "Alright, I've checked, and you did very well!"
Saying that, he took out his wallet, pulled out two 100 yuan bills from it, and handed them to the girl who had taken the money earlier: "You've worked hard. This extra 100 is your bonus."
At this moment, Zhang Jingdong's phone rang again, presumably someone from another dormitory had finished their work.
He then stuffed the money into the girl's hand: "Alright, I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving first!"
After speaking, he turned and exited the dormitory building.
The two girls watched his gradually receding figure, feeling both relieved and admiring.
Relieved that they had passed this person's test, and admiring of this person's methods and generosity.
Chapter 42 Give them each a card
Over the next hour, Zhang Jingdong went to different dormitory buildings, first verifying in the same way, then paying the remaining balance.
There were no problems with the girls' dormitory buildings; basically, all the dorms that had been called answered that a beautiful woman had come to their dorm to hand out restaurant flyers.
As for the boys' dormitory buildings, there were no problems except for Building 7.
Zhang Jingdong hired 3 boys in Building 7, and they were from the same dorm.
There was no problem when Zhang Jingdong made the first call, but when he made the next three calls, the other party all replied that they had not received anything.
After Zhang Jingdong hung up the phone, he asked the one who was leading them, "Tell me, did you only distribute on the first floor and not on the other floors?"
The other party initially denied it, "We distributed them all, but some dorms were locked when we were distributing, so we just slipped the flyers under their doors. So they might not have seen them."
Zhang Jingdong remained calm, "You mean the three dorms I called later happened to all be locked?"
The person said stubbornly, "Probably."
Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, "Alright, I won't bother arguing with you over a hundred or so yuan. You can go."
Unexpectedly, that person said, "Then you should settle the payment with us. We can't work for you for half a day for nothing!"
As he spoke, he gestured to the two people beside him, and they immediately stepped forward, their eyes glinting fiercely.
Zhang Jingdong was now thoroughly amused, "Brother, what? Do you want to play the'strength in numbers' game with me?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just consider that 100 yuan as feeding the dogs. You'd better be sensible and not try to take advantage of me and then act innocent!"
Unexpectedly, that person was also quite aggressive, "What the hell are you talking about? Because of that sentence, if you don't give us the remaining 200 yuan today, you won't be leaving!"
Zhang Jingdong was too lazy to waste words with them now and directly went forward with a standard Lees Triple Kick.
The other party immediately fell silent.
Zhang Jingdong glanced at the other party, then turned and left.
After leaving the West University, Zhang Jingdongreturned to the restaurant to rest for a while.
Around 9 o'clock, Sun Mian called first to say he was done, and then the others in the dorm also called one after another.
Zhang Jingdong immediately returned to West University, and then together with them, he pasted 100 posters all over the boiling water rooms, outside the student supermarket, and almost all other places at West University where advertisements could be posted.
After finishing, Zhang Jingdong told them to return to their dorms, while he went to the other girls' dormitory buildings to pay the girls he had hired.
At this moment, Lin Shishi finally called.
After Zhang Jingdong answered the call, he immediately went to the East One Girls' Dormitory building.
By then, Lin Shishi and Liu Siwen were already waiting for him.
When Zhang Jingdong approached, he saw sweat on Lin Shishi's face and his heart stirred, "You worked hard!"
Lin Shishi smiled sweetly, and while handing the remaining flyers to Zhang Jingdong, she said, "It's nothing."
At this moment, Liu Siwen said, "Boss Zhang, I never imagined you'd be able to open a restaurant so quickly!"
"Lin Shishi and I worked really hard just now. We didn't just hand out flyers, we also introduced it to everyone, especially Lin Shishi. She even used her reputation at our school to endorse your restaurant!"
Zhang Jingdong was immediately moved, "I won't say thank you. Let me give you something practical!"
As Zhang Jingdong spoke, he pulled out his wallet and took out two cards from it, one gold and one silver.
He first handed the silver one to Liu Siwen, "This is our restaurant's membership card. With this card, you can get a 40% discount when you eat at our restaurant!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Siwen immediately took the card with excitement, "Thank you, Boss Zhang, I knew you wouldn't let me work for nothing!"
Zhang Jingdong smiled, then handed the gold one to Lin Shishi, "This kind of gold card generally gets a 70% discount, and yours is numbered 001, so it has the biggest discount."
Lin Shishi paused, but didn't take it, "No need. Your restaurant just opened, and the discount on the flyer is already very generous. I don't need this card."
Zhang Jingdong teased, "Whether you use it is one thing, whether I give it is another. Senior, we are friends, and you helped me so much today. If I don't show my appreciation, I'd be too ungrateful!"
At this point, he subtly gave Liu Siwen a look.
The latter immediately understood and helped persuade, "Lin Shishi, just take it. This is Boss Zhang's good intention. And if you don't want this card, then I can't take mine either..."
Zhang Jingdong continued at this moment, "Senior, actually, giving you this card is also so that you can come to our restaurant more often to eat."
"We just opened, and there are definitely many issues in all aspects. I want you to help give more suggestions so we can correct them in time!"
Lin Shishi saw that he had said so much, and if she still didn't accept it, it would seem a bit bad, so she said, "Then... alright, I'll try my best then!"
Seeing that she finally agreed, Zhang Jingdongimmediately handed the card to her.
He accidentally touched her finger.
Lin Shishi subtly bit her lip.
"Host successfully made physical contact with the target person, rewarding 20,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jingdong was delighted and then said, "Alright, you must be tired from just now. Go back and rest early."
Lin Shishi nodded, "Mm... You must have been tired preparing for the restaurant during this time too. You should also pay attention to resting when you go back."
"Host received active concern from the target person, rewarding 30,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jingdong was now completely happy, "Don't worry, I will!"
Then the two chatted for a few more sentences, after which Lin Shishi and her friends returned to their dorm, and Zhang Jingdong went to the West District.
After successfully settling the accounts at the other dormitory buildings, Zhang Jingdong originally planned to go straight back to his dorm, but then his phone suddenly rang.
He sighed, then took out his phone. It was Xiao Fei, as expected!
He looked up at the starry sky, then answered, "Hello..."
"Zhang Teacher, where are you now? I'm done distributing, can you come over?"
Zhang Jingdong originally wanted to lie, but when he heard the fatigue in her tone, he ultimately couldn't bear it.
He immediately said, "Okay, I'm in West Three, I'll be right there."
Five minutes later, when Zhang Jingdong arrived at the West One Girls' Dormitory building, Xiao Fei's originally somewhat content face instantly filled with exhaustion.
She walked over to claim credit, "Zhang Teacher, I distributed to every dorm, and I kept praising your restaurant to them, so much so that my throat is almost hoarse!"
Although Zhang Jingdong knew she was partly acting, she had indeed helped, so he said, "Good, you performed well today. I will teach you diligently when I give you lessons next week!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei pouted, "Zhang Teacher, is... is that all?"
Zhang Jingdong deliberately feigned ignorance, "Ah? Is that... not enough?"
Xiao Fei then blinked her beautiful eyes, "Zhang Teacher, I mean... you've opened a restaurant, and it's right at our school gate... and our cafeteria food is so bad..."
"And now we have a teacher-student and friend relationship... so can you give me a platinum card or something... like one where I don't have to pay for food?"
"Oh... you're talking about a membership card?" Zhang Jingdong pretended to be troubled, "We do have that, but... alright, considering your good performance today, I'll give you one."
Zhang Jingdong said, pulling out his wallet, taking out a silver card, and handing it to her, "Take this card to the store, and you can get a 40% discount!"
"Only a 40% discount?" Xiao Fei glanced at the card in Zhang Jingdong's hand, hesitating, "Are there any other cards with a bigger discount?"
Zhang Jingdong said sternly, "This is already the card with the biggest discount, and there are only 5 in total!"
"My store just opened, and the discount on the flyer is already so big. If I make some cards with huge discounts, will my store even be able to operate?"
At this point, seeing that the girl still hadn't taken it, he immediately said, "Alright, since you don't want it, then forget it. I just happen to..."
Before he could finish, the card in his hand was snatched away by Xiao Fei.
"Who said I didn't want it? Of course I want it... Thank you, Zhang Teacher!"
"Host received thanks from the target person, rewarding 20,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, "You're smart!"
Chapter 43 I'm not... falling in love with him, am I?
Zhang Jingdong chatted with Xiao Fei for a few more sentences, then said, "Alright, I've been busy for a while, so go up and rest early.
I still have to go back to the shop."
Xiao Fei nodded reluctantly, "Okay, then... goodbye!"
Zhang Jingdong smiled and turned to leave.
But then, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Wait a moment..."
Zhang Jingdong's heart tightened, and he slowly turned around, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Fei chuckled, "Zhang Teacher, please reserve a private room for me at 7 PM on Saturday night.
I'll bring my dorm mates to support you then!"
Perhaps this girl's smile at that moment was too rare and too sweet, so Zhang Jingdong subconsciously nodded, "No problem."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange regret, yet he couldn't go back on his word, so he just said, "Alright, I'm leaving, goodbye!"
With that, he walked away without looking back.
He didn't go to the restaurant but went straight back to Chunfeng Garden.
After washing up, he habitually looked in the mirror for about ten minutes.
"My eyes seem even brighter, and there were originally four small moles on the left side of my face, but now there's only one left, and the acne scars have almost disappeared... Tsk tsk, I've become even more handsome!"
He returned to his bedroom contentedly and fell asleep within ten minutes of lying on the bed.
It had been so hot every day these past few days, and he had been running around all the time, so he was truly a bit tired.
...
The next day was Friday.
After finishing classes in the morning, Zhang Jingdongwent directly to the shop and stayed there until five in the afternoon.
He first checked the various etiquette and service details of the waiters, and then went to the back kitchen to sample the dishes of Han Xu, the head chef, and the other two main chefs.
And after tasting the dishes, he finally felt confident.
Because to make a restaurant near a school incredibly popular, there are only two key points.
One is the taste of the dishes, and the other is affordable prices.
Regarding the former, Han Xu's current skill level is almost comparable to Boss Chen's, and while the other two main chefs are slightly less skilled than Han Xu, they are by no means inferior to the chefs at Chuanxiangju.
For the latter, Zhang Jingdong's strategy this time was a direct 30 yuan discount for every 100 yuan spent, and a 50% discount for topping up a 500 yuan card.
What's even more ruthless is that the prices of comparable dishes in his shop are generally 3 to 5 yuan lower than those at Chuanxiangju.
Maos Braised Pork only sells for 25 yuan, spicy stir-fried shrimp only sells for 20 yuan, and stir-fried pork with chilies only sells for 18 yuan.
In addition to this, what made Zhang Jingdong most confident was that he had almost replicated all the advantages of the incredibly popular Hunan Cuisinerestaurant from his previous life, and he had even enhanced it in many aspects.
At 9 PM, after confirming all the details for tomorrow's opening, he returned to Chunfeng Garden.
Halfway there, his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw it was An Lu calling, so he answered directly, "Hello..."
"Are you busy right now?"
"I just finished being busy.
I just came out of the shop.
It's opening tomorrow, so there's a lot to do.
What about you? What were you doing just now?"
"I... I just did some Yoga, and then watched some TV series."
Zhang Jingdong's heart immediately stirred, "You can do Yoga?"
"I learned it with a colleague before, and I thought it was pretty good, so I practice for an hour every night."
"No wonder your figure is so good!
Yoga is an excellent exercise; it not only helps with shaping but also improves the flexibility of the limbs."
Zhang Jingdong had another half-sentence he didn't say, which was that in the future, they could also unlock various high-difficulty poses with a boyfriend.
An Lu didn't suspect a thing and agreed deeply, "Mm."
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn a bit quiet, Zhang Jingdong then asked, "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"I don't know... How about... I go help out at your shop?"
As soon as she finished this sentence, An Lu suddenly felt something was off and quickly added, "Mainly, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, and your shop will definitely be very busy since it just opened, I..."
Zhang Jingdong, of course, understood this girl's thoughts, so he said, "I was just about to tell you, but I was a bit embarrassed.
It would be great if you could come tomorrow!"
"Putting everything else aside, just having you walk around our shop a few times would attract a lot of popularity for the shop."
When An Lu saw that Zhang Jingdong not only agreed but also invited her so proactively, she immediately said, "Okay, then I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."
Suddenly, neither of them spoke, but there was no awkwardness at all; instead, a wonderful atmosphere permeated the air.
At this moment, Zhang Jingdong suddenly said, "When you called me today, besides wanting to know what I was doing, was there also a little... missing me?"
After a full half-minute, a mosquito-like voice finally responded, "...Mm."
Then, the call immediately ended.
"The host successfully gained 10 favorability points from the target character, rewarding 20,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jingdong stared at his phone, feeling a wave of contentment.
An Lu's phone call the night before last let him know that she was already somewhat involuntarily attracted to him, and this call today made him thoroughly feel her affection for him.
He felt that as long as she could come tomorrow and he took the opportunity to express himself, he would definitely achieve some results with her within a month.
A bank teller, stunning in appearance, gentle in temperament, also practices Yoga, and is so thoughtful, and cares about him so much.
Any two points would be worth collecting, let alone she possesses all of them, so he must give her a place!
Meanwhile, An Lu was covering her seemingly burning face with both hands.
She never imagined she would say something like that just now!
The night before last, she suddenly felt a bit lonely, which was a rare occurrence for her.
She didn't know why, but before meeting Zhang Jingdong, although she had always been single, she felt very fulfilled working during the day and reading or watching TV at night.
However, after meeting Zhang Jingdong, even though they had only interacted for a few days, the experiences with him during these days made her feel... wonderful!
That's right, wonderful!
They met at a bar, then he saved her, took her to the hospital, and downstairs at the hospital he even...
Afterward, she invited him to dinner, encountered Liu Guokang's retaliation, and then he, like Bruce Lee, helped her out of the predicament.
Later, he asked her for help, and then she went with him to interview managers at those restaurants...
All these things made her feel that this man's life was very exciting, and she had a very strange feeling when she was with him.
She couldn't quite describe what this feeling was, but she just felt it was beautiful.
Then, the night before last, after two days without contact with him, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss, and finally, as if by some strange impulse, she sent him a text message.
Then came these two phone calls.
At this moment, a bold thought suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be that I... like him?
And after this thought appeared, it was as if two debating alter egos instantly appeared in her mind.
The opposition argued: This... How is this possible?
He's still a student, and you're several years older than him, and he's so outstanding, don't be so deluded!
The affirmative argued: In the face of true love, age is not an issue at all, and his speech, demeanor, and way of dealing with people far surpass his peers, and in many aspects, even I am not as mature as him.
The opposition argued: But what if you like him, but he doesn't like you?
The affirmative argued: If he didn't like me, would he spend so much money to buy me a bag?
If he didn't like me, would he tease me like that that night?
And he just asked me that, and I... so he should... like me, right!
Finally, these two alter egos started fighting directly.
And An Lu's mind was completely in chaos.
She bit her lip and suddenly buried her head in the quilt, feeling both shy and delighted.
Chapter 44: The opening is a blast
The next day was Saturday.
Zhang Jingdong, Manager Yuan, and the rest of the staff arrived at the restaurant before 8 AM, tidied everything up, and laid out a red carpet at the entrance.
Soon, a truck stopped not far away, and three people got out, neatly moving large red flower baskets from the truck and arranging them on both sides of the red carpet.
Looking out from the restaurant, it was truly festive.
Just then, Zhang Jingdong's phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was An Lu calling, he quickly answered, "Hello…"
"I'm on Ziqiang Road. Is it the place in front with red flower baskets all over the entrance?"
"That's right, it's this one! I'll come out and get you!"
After hanging up, Zhang Jingdong immediately left the restaurant and saw An Lu approaching.
Today, she wore a black dress with a V-neck, revealing her beautiful collarbones.
The skirt hem just reached her knees, and her slender, fair calves exuded a captivating beauty.
Zhang Jingdong wasn't particularly a leg-person, but at that moment, he felt an inexplicable flutter.
And most importantly, she had even changed her hairstyle, opting for air bangs.
She wasn't old to begin with, but now she looked even more like a college student.
Zhang Jingdong, of course, knew why she was like this. His heart stirred instantly, and he walked forward, staring at her with burning eyes, "You're here so early!"
An Lu, seeing his gaze, couldn't help but recall their last conversation from last night, and her face instantly flushed slightly.
"I was afraid your restaurant would be busy, so I came early to see if I could help with anything…"
Zhang Jingdong said meaningfully, "You don't have to do anything. Just seeing you instantly sweeps away all my fatigue from the past few days, and I feel full of energy!"
An Lu's pretty face turned completely red this time, even her earlobes were red. "You… you're exaggerating too much. I… how can I be that amazing!"
Although she said that, her eyes were full of joy and excitement.
Seeing her shy demeanor, Zhang Jingdong didn't tease her further and said, "Let's go, come inside and take a look."
An Lu nodded obediently, "…Mm."
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
There was no helping it; firstly, An Lu was truly too beautiful, almost like a female celebrity on TV.
Secondly, she was brought in personally by Zhang Jingdong, the boss, so she was very likely the boss's wife!
Manager Yuan and some others were fine. After being amazed by An Lu's looks and figure, they quickly returned to their previous composure and went about their business.
But the prettiest female server, who was nearly 1.7 meters tall, was a little flustered.
Mainly, a few days ago, when she first came to the restaurant and saw how young Zhang Jingdong, the boss, was, she developed the idea of becoming the boss's wife.
Then, that day, she proactively drank with Zhang Jingdong, and these past two days, she had been fawning over him in various ways.
Although Zhang Jingdong noticed, he let her be since she hadn't done anything out of line. However, in her eyes, this was Zhang Jingdong's approval of her.
She even thought she had the upper hand, and when her little sisters privately called her the boss's wife, she no longer demurred.
But the moment she saw An Lu, she felt a deep sense of inferiority.
It wasn't just because she wasn't as pretty as An Lu, nor was it because her figure wasn't as good or her clothes weren't as fashionable. Most importantly, An Lupossessed an indescribable aura.
And precisely this aura matched Zhang Jingdong's aura perfectly!
At this moment, she completely understood that the woman before her was truly qualified to be the boss's wife.
Zhang Jingdong took An Lu on a brief tour of the restaurant.
An Lu listened to his introduction while looking around, and midway, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect your restaurant to be so big, and the decor is also very beautiful!"
Zhang Jingdong said with a hint of pride, "Right? At the time, I specifically found a very professional interior designer, and he personally supervised the renovation, so basically every excellent idea was realized."
An Lu said naturally, "No wonder."
The two eventually returned to the counter.
Manager Yuan walked over at this point.
She didn't know An Lu's exact identity, so she couldn't address her directly, but as an experienced restaurant manager, she knew that in front of others, especially members of the opposite sex, she must give her boss enough face.
So, she first nodded to An Lu, then said, "Boss, we're officially opening soon. Would you like to say a few words to everyone now?"
Zhang Jingdong casually said, "Okay, have everyone come over."
Manager Yuan nodded and left.
Soon, all the staff, over thirty people in total, came to the front hall.
Zhang Jingdong gave An Lu a look, then went to the front.
He looked at everyone and then said, "In a little over half an hour, we will officially open. I won't say any words of encouragement because I think whatever I say is not as uplifting as this…"
As Zhang Jingdong spoke, he opened his bag and took out a stack of red envelopes from it. "I've prepared opening red envelopes for everyone…"
Zhang Jingdong spoke while personally handing out red envelopes to each staff member, and with each one, he said, "Keep it up!"
Zhang Jingdong learned this trick from the bosses of Internet companies in later generations.
After he finished distributing them, every one of the staff members had smiles on their faces and were full of drive!
Zhang Jingdong then said, "Alright, everyone return to your posts. Keep it up!"
At this, everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, Boss!"
Then they all scattered excitedly.
Zhang Jingdong then took the last red envelope and approached An Lu, handing it to her. "Take this, for good luck!"
An Lu smiled sweetly, then took the red envelope. "Thank you, Boss."
At 9 o'clock, Zhang Jingdong personally lit a string of firecrackers at the entrance, announcing the official opening of the restaurant.
Afterward, at 11 o'clock, people began to trickle into the restaurant.
By 12 o'clock, the restaurant lobby was full, and all the private rooms were also occupied.
No one else in the restaurant, including Manager Yuan, had expected the business to be so booming right after opening; everyone's faces were beaming.
And An Lu, while looking surprised, was once again deeply impressed by Zhang Jingdong.
Although Zhang Jingdong himself also had a smile on his face, to be honest, he felt quite calm inside.
Because he knew that with just the flyers and his promotional offers, business would definitely be very good for the first two days of opening.
The most important thing now was to properly maintain this customer flow and keep the restaurant popular.
At this moment, all the staff in the restaurant were incredibly busy.
An Lu saw this and said to Zhang Jingdong, "I'll go help with the billing."
Seeing that Wang Yuan was a bit overwhelmed and knowing that An Lu wanted to help, Zhang Jingdong said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
An Lu smiled and nodded, then headed straight to the counter.
Just then, Zhang Jingdong went to the office to get the DV he had prepared beforehand, then went to a table.
"Everyone, I am the owner of this restaurant. What do you all think of the taste of our dishes here?"
One person said, "It's very delicious. I'm from Hunan, and your Maos Braised Pork here is very authentic."
Another person said, "This stir-fried pork with chili is also very satisfying!"
Zhang Jingdong then gestured with the DV in his hand, "Since you all think it's delicious, how about this: if you help me record a couple of simple sentences, for every one of you who records, I'll let each of you order one more dish, any dish you want."
"But let me say beforehand, after recording, I will loop this video on that big TV. Is that okay with you?"
One person said simply, "Anyway, everyone here is a classmate, so I have no problem!"
With this person taking the lead, the others at the table also nodded in agreement.
So Zhang Jingdong recorded all of them, and Zhang Jingdong kept his word, letting each of them order an additional dish.
Over the next half hour, Zhang Jingdong recorded about fifty or sixty people.
He had originally thought he could record about ten people at noon and another ten at night, which would be enough, but he didn't expect to finish it all in one morning.
At three in the afternoon, there were finally no more people in the restaurant.
Zhang Jingdong prepared a few hearty dishes, then called An Lu to join him in the office.
After eating, he copied the footage he had just shot onto the computer and began editing.
An Lu, out of curiosity, went to his side.
Seeing her curiosity, Zhang Jingdong let her watch.
After watching, An Lu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Your brain is simply too good! What's that saying… 'A gold cup or silver cup is not as good as the common people's praise.' I think what you recorded is even more effective than those TV commercials!"
Zhang Jingdong couldn't help but feel a little smug: "It has to be!"
Chapter 45 She confessed to me!
The two chatted for a while longer, and Zhang Jingdong, thinking that Lin Shishi would be coming over in the evening, said, "You must be tired from earlier, why don't I send you back to rest now?"
To his surprise, An Lu shook her head, "It's fine, I'm not tired, I'll go back later tonight."
"Besides, I'm resting right now, I'd be bored if I went back," she said.
At this point, she glanced at the door, then surveyed the office, "This place is quite good, there are many people, it's lively, and I can even help you with some things... I'm very happy!"
Seeing her say all that, Zhang Jingdong had no choice but to give up the idea of sending her back.
He then subtly asked, "Why does helping me make you... happy?"
An Lu realized he was teasing her and bit her lip.
She feigned indifference and said, "Because you helped me before, and not just once, and you even risked great danger."
"So now that I have the chance to do something for you, of course I'm willing!"
"So you're only helping me out of gratitude?" Zhang Jingdong intentionally sighed at this, "Is it not at all simply because of me?"
An Lu clearly didn't expect Zhang Jingdong to be so direct, and she subconsciously thought of his question from last night, "Did you miss him a little?"
And looking at his expectant face at this moment, he clearly wanted an affirmative answer.
At this moment, An Lu suddenly confirmed one thing—Zhang Jingdong liked her!
And she felt that she had revealed her feelings in her panic last night; if she rejected him to his face now, given Zhang Jingdong's personality, he would likely no longer be proactive with her in the future.
In that case, she might very well miss out on a relationship with him.
Although An Lu had never been in a relationship, she almost instinctively thought of these things at this moment, perhaps also because she found that she truly liked Zhang Jingdong.
So, after a slight hesitation, An Lu, suppressing her shyness, met Zhang Jingdong's gaze, "The reason I came so early today is actually because... I wanted to see you earlier!"
When Zhang Jingdong heard this, his heart instantly swelled with joy, but he forced himself to suppress the excitement and said, "Then last night when I asked if you missed me, why did you hang up the phone directly?"
An Lu hesitated, "...I answered you then!"
Zhang Jingdong then moved his chair closer to An Lu and directly held her slender hand.
But he continued to tease her, "Maybe you hung up too quickly then, I didn't hear it at all... Can you answer me again now?"
An Lu's pretty face instantly flushed, and she looked at his hand holding hers, pouting, "I've already... let you do this... do you still need to ask?"
Zhang Jingdong then used his left hand to hold her right hand, "I just want to hear one sentence: Did you miss me these past few days?"
An Lu first lowered her head in overwhelming shyness, then slowly raised her head and gazed at Zhang Jingdong, "Alright, I admit... I really missed you these past few days!"
"At first, I didn't know why, but these past few days without seeing you, as soon as I got home at night, your figure would unconsciously appear in my mind, and I couldn't distract myself no matter what I did."
"It wasn't until after I hung up the phone with you last night that I suddenly realized something... I... I must have fallen in love with you!"
"The host has received a confession from the target person, rewarding 100,000 yuan!"
After An Lu finished her last sentence, even she was a little surprised.
Mainly, she never imagined that one day she would actively say these words to a man.
But her eyes quickly filled with determination again, because she believed that the man in front of her was worth doing this for.
And Zhang Jingdong, at this moment, felt not only surprise but also a strong sense of accomplishment.
In two lifetimes, this was the first time a woman had actively confessed to him, and the other party was a top-tier mature beauty like An Lu!
This greatly boosted his confidence and, for the first time, made him fully believe in his current strength.
An Lu saw that after she confessed to Zhang Jingdong, although he had an excited smile on his face, his eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he didn't respond to her.
So, after waiting a few seconds, she hesitated, "Then... do you like me?"
Zhang Jingdong finally came back to his senses, then directly wrapped his arms around An Lu's slender waist, "I won't say... I'll prove it with action!"
With that, he directly kissed her.
"The host has successfully kissed the target person, rewarding 100,000 yuan!"
An Lu clearly didn't expect Zhang Jingdong to be so bold; she instinctively struggled a bit, but under Zhang Jingdong's slight exertion, she quickly gave up resisting.
Zhang Jingdong thought to himself that mature women like An Lu were indeed the perfect partners for a relationship.
Firstly, after establishing a relationship with them, one could quickly break through the first and second steps.
Secondly, because they lacked dating experience, many aspects were still unlocked, so there was still the joy of teaching.
For example, An Lu clearly had never kissed anyone before, had no kissing experience whatsoever, and simply didn't know how to cooperate.
But perhaps because of this, her little lips were truly sweet!
Zhang Jingdong enjoyed it for a full five minutes before reluctantly letting her go.
And An Lu at this moment, due to nervousness and rapid breathing, was panting softly.
Then she couldn't help but glare at the culprit opposite her, "You... you're too bold, you... you actually..."
Zhang Jingdong, of course, knew that this was not the time to explain or apologize, so he pursed his lips, "You like me, I like you, so this was bound to happen sooner or later..."
He then began to change the subject, "But I didn't expect you wouldn't know how to kiss! You made me... so tired just now."
An Lu immediately forgot to dwell on him kissing her and instead said with some grievance and a hint of apology, "I... I've never had a boyfriend before, so of course I wouldn't know, and I also didn't expect you to suddenly... suddenly kiss me!"
Zhang Jingdong avoided the main point and said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll teach you well later, but this matter is both easy and quite difficult, so you must learn well later."
Although An Lu was a bit flustered, seeing Zhang Jingdong's serious expression at this moment, and since she had already been kissed by him after all, she could only nod, "Mm."
Seeing that she had finally been led astray by him, Zhang Jingdong then deliberately looked around, then stared at her with burning eyes, "Did you feel very stimulated just now?"
An Lu, at this point, had already started to have a bit of a 'marry a chicken, follow a chicken; marry a dog, follow a dog' mindset, and nodded shyly, "Mm... I was so nervous just now my heart almost jumped out!"
"In the middle, I wanted you to close the door, but you wouldn't let me speak at all!"
Zhang Jingdong feigned sudden realization, "No wonder you were so stiff just now, so you were worried about this, I was wondering, even if it's a first kiss, you shouldn't be completely clueless about cooperating!"
Saying that, Zhang Jingdong stood up and went directly to lock the office door, then turned back.
Seeing this, An Lu quickly stood up as well, looking flustered, "You... what are you doing? What if Sister Mei comes looking for you later..."
Zhang Jingdong waved his hand directly, "Don't worry, Sister Mei is so smart, she definitely knows the limits."
"Besides, I just want to try again now, it'll only take one or two minutes at most, for us both to have a good experience, you must actively cooperate this time!"
Saying that, Zhang Jingdong came closer, wrapped his arms around An Lu's slender waist again, and then kissed her.
Although An Lu was a bit caught off guard, she also knew that the deed was done, so it was better to try to make Zhang Jingdong happy, and thus, under Zhang Jingdong's guidance, she began to take the initiative.
Zhang Jingdong originally only wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect An Lu to grasp things so quickly.
So this time, the two kissed for a full five minutes before Zhang Jingdong reluctantly released An Lu.
And at this moment, An Lu's face was utterly charming and full of spring.
Chapter 46 They both came
Over the next few hours, Jingdong worked on editing the video, occasionally stopping to share intimate moments with An Lu, which was incredibly satisfying for both of them.
An Lu gradually accepted the reality of being with Jingdong and increasingly felt the beauty of being in love, so she willingly cooperated with him in various ways.
It was almost 5 o'clock when the two of them leisurely left the office.
To show that he had been working in the office the whole time, Jingdong personally operated the system as soon as he came out, putting the edited video on the advertising screen next to the counter.
However, Manager Yuan, being an old hand, immediately spotted the tell-tale signs of spring in An Lu's face, yet she managed to act as if she knew nothing at all.
She walked over, glanced at the content on the large advertising screen, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss, your method is truly brilliant!"
Jingdong pursed his lips, "There's no other way. Our restaurant can't advertise on TV, so we just had to make our own!"
Manager Yuan immediately said, "I think the one you filmed is much better than those TV commercials. It not only looks more relatable but also has higher credibility."
As they were talking, some customers began to trickle in.
Whenever they passed the counter, they would be attracted by the advertisement on the large screen, and some even recognized the people on it.
"Isn't that Wang Yu from Class 1 of International Trade in our college? I didn't expect this guy to be quite photogenic!"
"Aren't these the people from Liu Qi's dorm who had a get-together with our dorm last time? They actually think this place is good. Perfect, we can arrange our return treat for them here this week."
In less than an hour, the entire lobby was almost full.
At this moment, Jingdong turned to ask Wang Yue, the usher, "Have the two private rooms I asked you to reserve been arranged?"
"They've been reserved."
Jingdong suddenly thought of something and continued, "Are these two private rooms separate?"
"Oh, Boss, you didn't tell me you wanted them separate at the time. I thought the people in these two private rooms were together, so I arranged Room 6 and Room 7."
Jingdong's heart tightened, "Go quickly and see if there are any other empty private rooms."
"Okay, okay..."
Wang Yue said, then hurried away.
She returned in less than two minutes.
"Boss, besides these two private rooms, there's only Room 9 empty right now, but this room has already been reserved, and the customer specifically requested this room."
"Did the customer say why?"
"Yes, it seems he's celebrating his birthday tonight, and 9 is his lucky number!"
Jingdong was instantly amused, "Alright, since he said that, let's keep it for him."
Now he could only pray that Lin Shishi and her friends wouldn't come with Xiao Fei and her friends.
He wasn't worried about Lin Shishi, but he thought that if Xiao Fei saw Lin Shishi here, she would definitely cause trouble.
Fortunately, less than ten minutes later, Lin Shishi's dorm mates entered the restaurant.
Jingdong immediately personally went to greet them, "Senior Shishi, you're here..."
Lin Shishi smiled serenely, "Hmm."
Liu Siwen looked around at this moment and exclaimed, "Boss Zhang, I didn't expect your restaurant to be so popular right after opening!"
Jingdong was uncharacteristically modest, "To be honest, I also didn't quite expect it, but temporary popularity isn't true popularity. If my restaurant can still be this popular after a month, then that's when it's truly popular!"
Perhaps thinking Jingdong's words made sense, Lin Shishi uncharacteristically praised him at this moment, "Just based on that statement, I think your restaurant will definitely continue to be popular!"
Jingdong didn't expect Lin Shishi to suddenly say something like that and was instantly a little flattered, "Thank you for your auspicious words. I will definitely work hard to run this restaurant well!"
"The private room has been arranged for you. Come with me!"
Saying that, he personally led them to Room 6.
Before leaving the private room, Jingdong said with a smile, "Lin Shishi and Liu Siwen are my friends. They even helped me hand out flyers when I was promoting at school a few days ago, so I'm treating you to this meal today."
"Everyone, don't miss the chance to fleece me. Order whatever you want later!"
After Jingdong finished speaking, he gave Lin Shishi a deep look, then directly left the private room.
The moment he left, everyone else in the private room simultaneously looked at Lin Shishi.
Although Jingdong had also mentioned Liu Siwen just now, everyone knew she was just a foil; the core reason was definitely Lin Shishi!
Wang Yun couldn't help but say, "Lin Shishi, what... what's going on? You and this Boss Zhang..."
Lin Shishi was uncharacteristically shy at this moment, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "We're just ordinary friends."
"Oh... ordinary friends!"
Wang Yun looked at the others with a mischievous smile, "Everyone... has anyone ever heard of any boy being able to treat our classmate Lin Shishi to a meal before?"
"No."
"Probably not..."
"Anyway, I haven't heard of it."
Lin Shishi couldn't bear it anymore and used her quick wit as a host, "If you're complaining that you don't have to pay for this meal, then how about we go somewhere else now?"
As soon as she said this, everyone else instantly chickened out!
"Don't... Liu Fang from the dorm next door already came at noon and said the dishes here are delicious!"
Wang Yun immediately admitted defeat, "Lin Shishi, I was wrong, I won't say anything else!"
Liu Siwen said at this moment, "Alright, let's order quickly. There are so many people outside, if we order late, the food will definitely be slow to come out!"
Wang Yun quickly echoed, "Right, right... order quickly, order quickly..."
...
And just as Wang Yun and the others were ordering, Xiao Fei entered the restaurant with her dorm mates.
Xiao Fei was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress today, and it was a bit low-cut.
She already had a rare C+ cup for a university girl, and she was walking at the very front, so as soon as she walked in, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Even An Lu, who had been focused on calculating accounts, only occasionally looking up at Jingdong, couldn't help but let her gaze linger on her at this moment.
Xiao Fei seemed to be accustomed to being the center of attention. She didn't care at all and walked directly up to Jingdong, saying sweetly, which was rare for her, "Zhang Teacher, I wish you a prosperous opening and booming business!"
Because of this scene, almost everyone in the entire lobby looked at Jingdong.
After all, a man who could make Xiao Fei so proactive, changing her usual cold demeanor and actively smiling, was truly rare!
And some of them even recognized Jingdong as the boy who made Xiao Fei publicly ask for his phone number at the West University Music Festival.
So, in an instant, a strong atmosphere of gossip arose around them.
Jingdong felt the gazes of the people around him and thought to himself, this girl really knows how to stir things up.
But as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Jingdong smiled and nodded, "Thank you... I've reserved a private room for you, Room 7 over there. Wang Yue, take them over."
"Okay."
Seeing that Jingdong had indeed arranged a private room for her, Xiao Fei said happily, "Thank you, Zhang Teacher, you really keep your word!"
Then she led her dorm mates to Room 7 with Wang Yue.
And when Wang Yue left, the other girls in Xiao Fei's dorm immediately erupted.
Li Ran said, "Phi Phi, I didn't expect you to actually know the owner here. Your connections are truly impressive!"
Chen Xue, who was beside her, said hesitantly, "Why does that boss just now look a bit familiar to me? I think I've seen him somewhere!"
Wang Lu immediately echoed, "Now that you mention it, I remember! He's the boy who played the ocarina at the music festival, and at that time, Phi Phi even publicly asked him for his phone number!"
As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly realized.
"I remember too, it really is him!"
"Phi Phi, so after the music festival, you actually contacted him!"
Xiao Fei was a little shy, but also a little carefree, "Of course I did, otherwise why would I have asked him for his phone number then!"
Chapter 47 Three Women in the Same Frame
Li Ran, with a gossipy look, said, "Phi Phi, you were so proactive in front of him just now, it seems you two..."
Wang Lu also chuckled, "If you ask me, it's really possible!"
"Not only does he play the ocarina well, but now he's even opened such a big restaurant. I think he's truly worthy of our Phi Phi!"
Chen Xue then said, "I also think it's fine. When the time comes, our Phi Phi will be the boss lady here, and then we can come here for big meals every day!"
Xiao Fei saw them getting more and more out of line and immediately said coquettishly, "Hey... what are you talking about? We... he and I are just teacher-student relationship, okay!"
"Teacher-student relationship?" Li Ran couldn't help but ask curiously, "Phi Phi, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Fei pretended to be nonchalant and said, "The reason I asked him out was because he played the ocarina better than I did, so I became his student. Now he gives me an ocarina lesson once a week."
Li Ran and the others suddenly understood, and the flames of gossip in each of their eyes instantly burned even brighter.
Wang Lu sighed, "Phi Phi, you confessed this yourself; we didn't force you."
"If you ask me, your teacher-student relationship will sooner or later turn into a romantic relationship. Your weekly music lesson is actually the beginning of your dates!"
"Tsk tsk, teacher-student romance... Phi Phi, you're playing it so exciting!"
Li Ran added, "And everyone, has anyone ever heard of Xiao Fei proactively asking out a guy, and even meeting him alone?"
"Still a teacher-student relationship... Phi Phi, we're not three-year-olds; you can't trick us like that!"
Wang Lu chuckled, "Anyway, I haven't. Our Phi Phi used to be the cool type; she always scoffed at the boys who pursued her and never played games!"
"This Boss Zhang is definitely the first exception for Phi Phi, ever!"
"Absolutely!"
"I'm even willing to bet my final exam grades on it!"
Xiao Fei finally realized that her interactions with Zhang Jingdong these past few times did seem a bit different.
Although she was indeed going to him to learn, just as they said, she seemed to have never taken the initiative to interact with a guy like this before.
In fact, during her interactions with Zhang Jingdong, most of the time she was the one taking the initiative, while Zhang Jingdong had declined several times.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei couldn't help but blush.
But she also knew that she absolutely couldn't admit it at this time, so she immediately pouted, "Hey... if you keep talking about this, I'm going back?"
Wang Lu quickly said, "Absolutely not... If you leave, how are we going to eat this meal!"
Li Ran also chimed in, "No more talking, no more talking... Order food, order food..."
...
Ever since Xiao Fei greeted Zhang Jingdong and went to the private room, An Lu's mind kept replaying the scene of her talking to Zhang Jingdong.
Just as a man can tell if another man is interested in a woman with just a glance, a woman can do the same.
Just by looking at the unconscious smile on Xiao Fei's face when she was talking to Zhang Jingdong earlier, An Lucould tell that while Xiao Fei wasn't obsessed with Zhang Jingdong yet, she was definitely interested in him.
And An Lu could also tell that Xiao Fei was a very aggressive person.
An Lu deeply understood that with Xiao Fei being so beautiful, so elegant, and most importantly, a genuine university student, if she and An Lu both pursued Zhang Jingdong, An Lu had no absolute certainty of winning.
Although she and Zhang Jingdong had confirmed their relationship this afternoon.
But in her opinion, a man like Zhang Jingdong, who was successful in his career, outstanding in his abilities, and super capable in all aspects, would find it very difficult to be exclusive when it came to women.
Or rather, even if he wanted to be exclusive, facing a woman as excellent and proactive as Xiao Fei, it might be very difficult for him to do so.
But she was already deeply in love with Zhang Jingdong, and she couldn't just break up with him immediately because of these suspicions; she simply couldn't do it.
Thinking of this, An Lu suddenly felt lost.
Fortunately, she worked at a bank, and accounting was a piece of cake for her. Even with her mind on two things at once, she wouldn't make any mistakes.
Around 8 o'clock, Lin Shishi and her roommates left the private room.
Liu Siwen and the others consciously walked ahead and out of the restaurant, while Lin Shishi came to the counter.
"Excuse me, can you tell me how much private room 6 costs?"
Wang Yuan paused and said, "Our Boss has already instructed that private room 6 is complimentary tonight!"
At these words, An Lu, who had been somewhat distracted, immediately looked up at Lin Shishi and was instantly stunned.
If Xiao Fei had made her feel threatened earlier, then Lin Shishi in front of her now made her feel a complete sense of powerlessness.
And her intuition told her that Xiao Fei liked Zhang Jingdong, but Zhang Jingdong liked Lin Shishi.
Because An Lu could see a clear aggressiveness in Xiao Fei's eyes, while Lin Shishi's eyes at this moment held an inherent sense of calm and detachment, as if she was unconcerned with the world.
Most importantly, she was truly beautiful!
And it was a grand kind of beauty, what they call a 'queenly aura' in TV dramas!
Lin Shishi nodded thoughtfully, then took out her wallet, pulled out 200 yuan, and handed it to Wang Yuan, "Then consider this money my wish for your boss's business to prosper!"
Wang Yuan quickly said, "I really can't accept this. How about you wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and call our... our Boss is here..."
Wang Yuan was speaking when she suddenly saw Zhang Jingdong in the distance and quickly gestured to him, "Boss..."
Zhang Jingdong had just gone to the kitchen to check on something, and as soon as he came out, he saw Lin Shishiat the counter from afar.
His original plan was that since he had comped their private room, Lin Shishi and the others wouldn't need to go to the counter, and he would just simply see her off at the door.
But he didn't expect her and An Lu to still meet!
He originally wanted to turn around and go back to the kitchen, letting them sort it out themselves. Lin Shishiwas a guest after all, and An Lu was a bank employee, so she could definitely handle it easily.
But he didn't expect Wang Yuan to suddenly call out to him at this moment.
Zhang Jingdong sighed inwardly and could only bite the bullet and walk over.
And coincidentally, at this moment, Xiao Fei and her group also came out of the private room.
And her roommates were all very sensible, walking straight ahead and out of the restaurant.
However, as they passed the counter, they all saw Lin Shishi and were instinctively curious, but they didn't want to ruin Xiao Fei's good thing, so they didn't stop.
At this moment, Xiao Fei saw Lin Shishi and also saw Zhang Jingdong beside her.
She was first stunned, then a strange smile quickly flashed in her eyes, and she walked straight over.
She ignored Zhang Jingdong and greeted Lin Shishi first, "Lin Shishi, what a coincidence, you're eating here too!"
Lin Shishi turned her head and, seeing it was Xiao Fei, her heart instantly tightened.
She subconsciously thought of the scene at the music festival where Xiao Fei proactively asked Zhang Jingdongfor his contact information.
However, she was Lin Shishi after all, and she quickly regained her usual composure, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Xiao Fei continued, "Are you here to pay too?"
Lin Shishi paused, then nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Fei then turned to Zhang Jingdong, "Boss Zhang, your membership card should be usable for multiple people, right? So, can you give Lin Shishi and her friends a 40% discount too?"
Chapter 48 Are You Jealous?
As soon as Xiao Fei said this, Lin Shishi and An Lu both looked at Zhang Jingdong.
Lin Shishi hadn't expected Zhang Jingdong to be so familiar with Xiao Fei that he would even give her a membership card.
An Lu, on the other hand, was even more certain of her previous guess: that Xiao Fei liked Zhang Jingdong, and Zhang Jingdong liked Lin Shishi.
Because under similar circumstances, Zhang Jingdongonly gave Xiao Fei a 40% discount, but he directly waived the bill for Lin Shishi.
As soon as Zhang Jingdong saw this situation, he quickly analyzed the current situation.
If he directly said that he had waived the bill for Lin Shishiand her friends, Xiao Fei would definitely be angry later.
But if he didn't say that he had waived the bill for Lin Shishi and her friends, then Lin Shishi would definitely misunderstand his relationship with Xiao Fei.
As for An Lu, no matter whether he mentioned it or not, she would certainly have some suspicions about Lin Shishi and Xiao Fei in her heart.
After this analysis, Zhang Jingdong quickly made a decision.
He could comfort An Lu when he drove her home later.
And between letting Lin Shishi misunderstand him and making Xiao Fei angry, Zhang Jingdong directly chose the latter.
The reason was simple: Zhang Jingdong wasn't afraid of offending Xiao Fei at all right now.
But once Lin Shishi misunderstood, it would be difficult to handle.
Ultimately, it came down to one reason, just like Fat Orange doted on Zhen Huan; in Zhang Jingdong's heart right now, Lin Shishi was the most important.
So Zhang Jingdong replied with a smile, "No need, I've waived their bill!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Fei was instantly a little confused: "You waived their bill..."
Xiao Fei subconsciously looked at Lin Shishi again, then quickly thought of something and calmly said, "So you two know each other privately? That's really quite interesting!"
Zhang Jingdong said nonchalantly, "That's right, just like you learn to play the ocarina with me and we have a teacher-student relationship, I also sought advice from Senior Shishi on hosting experience back then, so we got to know each other!"
"And two days ago, we were doing a promotion, and Senior Shishi and her roommates also helped out, so I thought of treating them to a meal."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingdong turned to look at Lin Shishi: "So, Senior Shishi, please don't insist anymore. The next time you come, I will definitely let you pay. Is that acceptable?"
When Lin Shishi heard this, and especially in front of so many people, she couldn't refuse to give Zhang Jingdongface, so she nodded: "...Alright."
Xiao Fei finally couldn't help but say jokingly, "Zhang Teacher, isn't that a bit unfair?"
"I also helped you hand out flyers two days ago, but why did you only give me a membership card and only give me a 40% discount?"
"I can understand you waiving the bill for Lin Shishi, but you can't treat us so differently, can you?"
Zhang Jingdong pouted: "Senior Shishi not only helped me hand out flyers, but she is also my teacher and taught me many things."
"And although you also helped me hand out flyers, I am your teacher, and I taught you a lot of things, which is why it's like this... Where do you think it's unfair?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingdong knew that if he didn't find a way to waive Xiao Fei's bill as well, then Lin Shishiwould also find it difficult to accept the waived bill.
He then deliberately sighed: "But since you've already said so, then so be it. Today, I'll waive your bill too. Who told you that you're my student!"
When Xiao Fei heard this, although she was still a little uncomfortable, she knew that this was the most face Zhang Jingdong could give her.
She could only discuss the rest later; if she continued to make a fuss here, Zhang Jingdong would likely not give her any more face.
So she stopped while she was ahead, and smiled sweetly: "Alright, then thank you, Zhang Teacher!"
Then she turned to Lin Shishi and said, "Lin Shishi, let's go together."
Lin Shishi looked at Zhang Jingdong at this moment: "Then...we'll be leaving first."
Zhang Jingdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay...take care!"
Xiao Fei then gave An Lu at the counter a meaningful glance, then turned and pulled Lin Shishi's hand, leaving.
And when the two left the store, Zhang Jingdongdeliberately didn't immediately go to explain to An Lu, because he knew that if he explained to her now, it would only make him seem guilty.
So he turned and went back to the kitchen.
Around 10 PM, the day's business finally ended.
After everyone else left, Zhang Jingdong and An Lu, along with Manager Yuan and Wang Yuan, came to the office.
Zhang Jingdong looked at An Lu: "What's today's turnover? Have you calculated it?"
An Lu was no longer distracted at this moment; instead, she said excitedly, "It's a total of... 21,328!"
As soon as she said this, Manager Yuan and Wang Yuanwere both startled!
Manager Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "I originally thought that with such a large customer flow today, the turnover might be 20,000. To be honest, at the time I even thought I was being a bit unrealistic, but I didn't expect I actually underestimated it!"
"Tsk tsk, business in this university town is indeed good!"
Zhang Jingdong thought to himself, 'This is nothing. Even without opening this restaurant, our buddy could earn fifty to sixty thousand by just strolling around Pedestrian Street every day.'
'It seems I still need to figure out some other businesses. Otherwise, once I take down An Lu, the system might give me tens of millions, and I won't be able to find a reasonable source of wealth.'
But he said aloud, "Hmm... not bad. Let's all continue to work hard and strive to maintain this level in the future!"
Manager Yuan nodded naturally: "Hmm, if we can maintain this level, then our restaurant will be completely established!"
The two chatted for a while about some existing problems and improvement measures in the store today, after which the four left the restaurant.
Manager Yuan took Wang Yuan into her Beetle, while Zhang Jingdong and An Lu got into his Honda Accord.
Along the way, although An Lu smiled and chatted with him in various ways, Zhang Jingdong could still feel a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes.
He then took the initiative to say, "Honestly, when you saw my two beautiful Senior, were you jealous today?"
An Lu was clearly surprised that Zhang Jingdong would bring this up himself. She froze for a moment, then bit her lip: "I...I wasn't...How could I be!"
Zhang Jingdong immediately laughed: "You still dare to say you weren't!"
Seeing that Zhang Jingdong was joking, An Lu gave him a glare: "Alright, I admit it, okay!"
"Who told your two Senior to be so beautiful and so elegant, and you even... you even waived their bill!"
"I... Any woman would be jealous seeing her boyfriend like that, okay?"
Zhang Jingdong then reached out, took An Lu's hand, and kissed it heavily: "Don't worry, no matter how beautiful they are, they're not as beautiful as you to me!"
Although An Lu knew that Zhang Jingdong's words were a little insincere, she was already very satisfied with his attitude.
She couldn't help but say excitedly, "Really?"
Zhang Jingdong didn't even stammer: "Of course it's true! Forget about them, even if Wang Zuxian, Chung Chor-hung, Li Jiaxin, Angelina Jolie, Sophie Marceau, Shu Qi, Monica Bellucci... all of them appeared before me with you, I would absolutely not even glance at them!"
An Lu was completely amused now: "You sure know how to talk!"
Twenty minutes later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of Luming Garden.
Zhang Jingdong put his arm around An Lu's shoulder and kissed her pretty face: "You must be exhausted today. Get some good rest at home tomorrow; you have to work the day after tomorrow!"
An Lu's heart warmed at first, but then she quickly thought of something: "Are you afraid that if I go, I'll interrupt your chat with your beautiful Senior?"
Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head: "If you're going to put it that way, then you should still go tomorrow, and if you do, I'll even give you a surprise."
"A surprise?" An Lu pursed her lips: "What surprise?"
"If a surprise is revealed beforehand, can it still be called a surprise...?" Zhang Jingdong playfully tapped An Lu's delicate nose: "Alright, I'll see you in. Get some rest early tonight."
An Lu nodded with a sweet expression: "Mm."
Chapter 49 Taming Xiao Fei
The two got out of the car, and Zhang Jingdong walked An Lu to the ground floor.
Originally, if there hadn't been three target individuals together today, he would have thought of striking while the iron was hot and going upstairs tonight.
But now… even though An Lu seemed fine, Zhang Jingdong knew she would still have some emotions, more or less, in her heart.
Even if he went up with her like this, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
So Zhang Jingdong stopped directly at the building entrance and kissed An Lu's pretty face again: "Alright, go on up."
An Lu was slightly surprised at this.
Because she had actually been a bit uneasy the whole way, thinking that she had already confirmed her relationship with Zhang Jingdong, and today she had been kissed by him, hugged by him, and even… touched above.
So, when he dropped her off downstairs this time, he might very well ask to go upstairs with her.
To be honest, she wasn't mentally prepared for that yet.
But if Zhang Jingdong insisted on going up with her, she wouldn't know how to refuse.
Just as she was hesitating and even feeling anxious, she didn't expect Zhang Jingdong to suddenly say this.
At this moment, she deeply felt his cherish and respect for her.
So, to reward him, An Lu stood on her tiptoes and proactively kissed Zhang Jingdong's lips.
"Darling, thank you!"
Zhang Jingdong, of course, understood the meaning behind her words and said gently, "We're in a relationship, not a one-night stand, so of course, we don't have to do everything on the same day. Then there'd be no time to savor it!"
An Lu nodded, both moved and happy: "Mm… Darling, you're so good!"
Zhang Jingdong teased, "My true goodness is yet to come. Alright, go on up, and don't miss me too much!"
An Lu was instantly amused again, giving Zhang Jingdong a charming and lingering look, then reluctantly entered the building entrance.
Zhang Jingdong watched her completely disappear from sight before turning and leaving the complex.
As soon as he got in the car, his phone rang.
He originally thought it was An Lu, but unexpectedly, it was Xiao Fei.
He hesitated for a moment, then answered: "Hello…"
"Zhang Teacher, it took you so long to answer the phone. I hope I didn't interrupt something good between you and your beautiful accountant, did I?"
Zhang Jingdong said irritably, "If you can talk, talk for a bit. If not, go to bed early."
"Tsk… Do you dare say nothing's going on between you and your beautiful accountant?"
"Whether something's going on between her and me seems to have nothing to do with you, does it?"
"Hmph… Zhang Jingdong, you actually dare to talk to me like that!"
Zhang Jingdong switched his phone to his left hand: "Why can't I talk to you like that?"
"What do you think! We both helped you hand out flyers, so why did you give Lin Shishi a free meal, and only give me a membership card? I even praised you so much at the time, and you almost made me lose face in front of everyone in our dormitory!"
Zhang Jingdong was a bit speechless: "Then did I end up giving you a free meal?"
"You still have the nerve to say it! You did give me a free meal, but anyone could tell at the time that you only gave me the free meal because of Lin Shishi!"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile: "May I ask, it seems like I own that restaurant, right?"
"You own it, so what?"
"Since I own it, I can give free meals to whoever I want and discounts to whoever I want!"
"I didn't even charge you for teaching you back then, and you helped me hand out flyers for a bit and now you're demanding that I give you a free meal!"
"I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person. Alright then, I won't teach you anymore in the future. If you insist on me teaching you, that's fine, but it's 2000 per lesson!"
"You… are you serious?"
Zhang Jingdong suppressed a laugh: "Nonsense, not a single cent less! Otherwise, find someone else!"
Xiao Fei immediately regretted it when she heard this.
She had originally just wanted to argue with Zhang Jingdong because he had favored Lin Shishi in front of her, and also to ask for some benefits. She didn't expect to accidentally provoke him so much.
Before, boys were always chasing her, and she would pour cold water on them and give them the cold shoulder. This was the first time she had been treated like this in front of a boy.
But she couldn't do anything to him, and she couldn't completely fall out with him.
Firstly, she knew that what Zhang Jingdong said was actually reasonable.
Secondly, she still wanted Zhang Jingdong to teach her, or rather, she still wanted to see Zhang Jingdongprivately.
She didn't know why either.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei bit her lip hard and whispered, "Okay, I was wrong, alright? I apologize to you!"
"The host has successfully received an apology from the target individual, rewarding 50,000 yuan!"
Zhang Jingdong didn't expect to get so much reward for making a girl apologize to him, nor did he expect Xiao Feito be so adaptable. He immediately let out a wry smile.
However, he didn't plan to forgive her easily, otherwise, this girl would definitely cause more trouble later.
He then said, "Then tell me where you went wrong?"
"You… Zhang Jingdong, don't go too far. I… I'm already like this, what more do you want from me?"
Zhang Jingdong sighed, "You don't even call me Zhang Teacher anymore, you dare to call me by my name directly, you don't understand respect for teachers at all, and you still don't know where you went wrong?"
The other side was completely silent for a full five seconds.
Zhang Jingdong then said, "If you don't speak again, I'm hanging up, and you don't ever call me again!"
"Wait a moment…"
Xiao Fei let out a long breath: "Okay, Zhang Teacher, I understand. I will definitely respect you from now on, not talk back to you, and listen to everything you say… Is that enough?"
Zhang Jingdong truly didn't expect that even at this point, this girl could still endure.
He then said, "Have you truly understood, or are you just humoring me?"
"I'm not humoring you… Zhang Teacher, I truly know I was wrong. I will always remember to respect my teachers and listen to you from now on!"
Zhang Jingdong said solemnly, "And one more thing, from now on, you are not allowed to casually inquire about your teacher's privacy, nor are you allowed to question any of your teacher's decisions!"
"I understand, I will definitely remember this, and I will definitely do what I say!"
Zhang Jingdong finally couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Fei, to truly forgive you, you still need to do one last thing…"
"What thing?"
"Don't you want to be a singer? Then sing me a song now."
"Okay, what song do you want to hear?"
"Which song are you best at?"
Xiao Fei immediately regained her usual confidence: "I'm good at too many. I can basically sing all of Stefanie Sun's, Zhang Shaohan's, and Faye Wong's songs."
Zhang Jingdong teased, "That's impressive. Then sing me'Suan Ni Hen' by Chen Xiaochun."
"'Suan Ni Hen'?"
"What, you can't sing it?"
"No… it's just that… it's completely not my style!"
"Alright, if you don't want to sing it, then forget it. I'm hanging up!"
"Okay, okay, okay… I'll sing it for you, I'll sing it for you, alright!"
"Then start!"
Xiao Fei took a full ten seconds to mentally prepare herself before quietly singing: "I said you're ruthless, skilled at using innocent eyes, I believed your lies after hearing them twice…"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully tricking the target individual, rewarding 200,000 yuan!"
Xiao Fei only sang a small section before she finally couldn't continue.
Zhang Jingdong, at this moment, was thoroughly amused by the unexpected big reward and Xiao Fei's singing: "You're not singing too badly, actually. Alright, I forgive you. Let's leave it at that for today. I have something else to do, so I'm hanging up!"
After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.
At this time, under a maple tree behind the West One Girls' Dormitory, Xiao Fei stared angrily at the phone in her hand and muttered, "Zhang Jingdong, you just wait. Sooner or later, I'll make you beg me!"
Chapter 50 Taking Her to Buy a Car
After hanging up on Xiao Fei, Zhang Jingdong casually opened his message inbox and glanced at the deposit notification.
The balance in his card showed 1,184,324.13 yuan!
Tsk, tsk, he didn't expect that after arguing with her and having her sing a song, he would actually earn over 200,000 yuan, and accidentally become a millionaire!
Tsk, tsk, it seems this system encourages him to conquestwomen!
Got it!
Zhang Jingdong put his phone into his pocket with a mischievous smile, then drove home feeling quite content.
After washing up, he habitually looked in the mirror for about ten minutes.
"My teeth are straighter, the outline of my jawline is clearer, my nose is more defined… Happy!"
Zhang Jingdong returned to his bedroom feeling satisfied and quickly fell asleep.
The next day was Sunday.
The restaurant opened at 10 AM, and in less than half an hour, An Lu arrived at the establishment.
Today, she wore a red floral dress, once again stunning the staff.
Moreover, everyone now clearly regarded her as the boss's wife; their eyes, besides admiration, also held a hint of genuine respect.
As for Zhang Jingdong, besides admiration, there was also a hint of inexplicable excitement.
He thought to himself that he must find an opportunity to have a good conversation with her today.
An Lu noticed the hint of a mischievous smile on Zhang Jingdong's lips when he looked at her, knew what he was thinking, and immediately gave him a shy and chiding glare.
Just after 11 AM, people started coming into the restaurant one after another.
Before 12 PM, the lobby and all private rooms were completely full, and there were even about ten people queuing at the entrance!
There was no other way; after the previous flyers and yesterday's word-of-mouth fermentation, most people in the two universities now knew that a new Hunan Cuisinerestaurant had opened on Ziqiang Road, which not only offered great deals but also had many incredibly delicious dishes.
And in this day and age, these university students might not be very good at making money, but when it came to queuing up for fun, especially to save money and eat delicious food, they were absolutely enthusiastic and eager.
Then Zhang Jingdong and his team worked non-stop until past 2 PM before finally entering their lunch break.
Zhang Jingdong felt that as the boss, being able to hold on until now during these two days of opening was already very loyal of him.
After all, he genuinely didn't expect this restaurant to earn him much money; he just wanted to use it as a front and as capital for picking up girls.
So, after eating, he greeted Manager Yuan, then took An Lu out of the restaurant.
Midway, An Lu asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Zhang Jingdong smiled mysteriously, "Didn't I say yesterday I had a surprise for you? You'll know when we get there!"
Twenty minutes later, the car slowly stopped in the parking lot in front of the Xinghe Audi 4S store.
Getting out of the car, An Lu glanced at the store name on the glass wall not far away, and then looked at the beautiful Audi cars parked inside.
She couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "Jingdong, what are we doing here?"
Zhang Jingdong smiled freely, "What else can we do here? Of course, we're buying a car!"
After speaking, he directly pulled An Lu into the store.
A beautiful saleswoman in a black suit came forward, and the moment she saw An Lu, the smile on her face instantly became a few shades more sincere.
Those who can sell luxury cars have generally developed a pair of sharp eyes.
In their opinion, someone wearing designer brands might not necessarily be a rich second-generation, but if a young man can bring along a top-tier beauty like An Lu, who possesses excellent looks, figure, and temperament, then he is definitely not an ordinary rich second-generation!
"Hello, both of you, welcome to our Xinghe Audi 4S Store. I am sales consultant Liu Jie, and I'm very happy to serve you!"
Zhang Jingdong casually said, "We'd like to see the latest Audi A6."
The reason he chose this car was because the first car Zhang Jingdong dreamed of owning in his previous life was an Audi A6.
Although many people would say, "Is an Audi A6 even considered a luxury car?", at that time, even after many years of hard work, Zhang Jingdong still couldn't afford this car.
Reborn into this life, Zhang Jingdong decided to start with the Audi A6 and fulfill his luxury car dreams one by one, dreams he couldn't achieve in his previous life.
"Okay, please follow me, both of you!"
The two then followed the saleswoman about ten meters forward, where a white Audi A6 appeared.
The reason Zhang Jingdong liked the Audi A6 in his previous life, besides the price factor, was most crucially that he thought the Audi A6 was the most beautiful and stylish of all Audi cars.
For men, a black Audi A6 is steady and domineering.
Isn't there a saying, 'It's better to provoke a man who gets out of a Mercedes-Benz or BMW than a man who gets out of the back seat of an Audi A6.'
If you provoke the former, you might only lose money, but if you provoke the latter, you might never get out for the rest of your life.
At the same time, for women, a white Audi A6 is stylish and exudes elegance.
And according to Zhang Jingdong's experience in his previous life, women who drive Audis are generally prettier than women who drive BMWs or Mercedes-Benzes.
Of course, this might also be because he had seen more women driving Audis than those driving Mercedes-Benzes or BMWs.
Upon approaching, Liu Jie immediately began to introduce: "Our Audi A6L is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. It is 4.8 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, and 1.4 meters high."
"It is equipped with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine, with a maximum horsepower of 170 horsepower…"
Zhang Jingdong listened symbolically for a few sentences, then turned to ask An Lu, "Do you think this car looks good?"
An Lu nodded, genuinely saying, "Hmm… it looks good!"
Zhang Jingdong continued, "Do you like it?"
An Lu's heart stirred, then she turned to gaze at Zhang Jingdong: "I… Jingdong, you… you don't need to…"
Zhang Jingdong smiled freely, "You just need to answer whether you like it or not!"
An Lu bit her lip: "…I like it!"
"As long as you like it, that's enough!"
Zhang Jingdong said, then turned to Liu Jie: "Do you have any cars in stock right now?"
Liu Jie was clearly surprised that Zhang Jingdong was so decisive; she paused for a moment before replying, "Yes, but with cars in stock, you might not have many options for customization."
"Then if I order a car today, what's the fastest I can pick it up?"
"Next Friday."
Zhang Jingdong nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, then I'll take one black and one white, both top-of-the-line!"
As soon as Zhang Jingdong said this, Liu Jie and An Luwere both stunned!
Liu Jie was surprised because in her three years in the industry, she had never encountered a client so straightforward, and who bought two Audi A6s at once.
An Lu was surprised because she never expected Zhang Jingdong would actually buy her such an expensive car.
Although she didn't know much about cars, she knew that her bank president's wife drove an Audi A6 similar to the one in front of them.
She knew that the cheapest of these cars cost at least three to four hundred thousand, and the most expensive ones cost five to six hundred thousand!
So, she instinctively, feeling overwhelmed, tugged at Zhang Jingdong's arm and whispered, "Jingdong, you don't need to buy it for me… it's too expensive!"
Zhang Jingdong didn't want to explain to her; he directly put his arm around her fragrant shoulder and kissed her cheek: "As long as you like it, it's worth it no matter how expensive!"
Seeing this, Liu Jie was instantly deeply impressed by Zhang Jingdong's domineering tenderness!
But she also knew she had no chance at all, as in terms of looks, figure, or temperament, she was no match for An Lu.
She could only say happily, "Then I'll go prepare the car purchase contract now?"
Zhang Jingdong extended his hand and said, "Thank you, I appreciate it!"
Liu Jie was now completely excited: "You're welcome, you're welcome… Please come and sit over here, I'll be quick!"
Saying that, she quickly led the two to the lounge area not far away, then asked a colleague to help pour tea and bring fruits and snacks.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong signed the car purchase contract and then paid a total deposit of 40,000 for the two cars.
As they left the store, An Lu instinctively linked her arm through Zhang Jingdong's, her expression that of a gentle, dependent bird.
There was no other way; even the least materialistic woman, when her beloved man buys her a car worth nearly 500,000 yuan, finds it very hard not to be captivated.
Because she knew that when a man is willing to spend the money he earned with countless sweat and effort on her, he definitely loves her.
And although An Lu knew Zhang Jingdong was wealthy, she also knew that this amount of money was not small for him at the moment.
So at this moment, she completely forgot about yesterday's events; she now only wanted to wholeheartedly love this man who used everything to love her.
