Zhang Jingdong explained a few more things to Chen Hui and the others, then led Bai Shan and her friends out of the recording studio.
Once in the car, Zhang Jingdong turned and asked, "You guys haven't eaten yet, right?"
Bai Shan shook her head, "Not yet."
"Perfect, I can see you all have lost weight. Here's the plan: I'll take you to eat a big al first, and then we'll find a place to have so fun!"
All of Bai Shan's friends imdiately looked delighted.
"Sounds good!"
"Boss, you're the best!"
"You're showing so heart for a change!"
The last comnt was naturally from Huo Chengcheng.
Zhang Jingdong then looked back at her, "Of course I have a heart, I've prepared plenty of supplies for you. Tonight, you'll truly feel my sincerity!"
Huo Chengcheng blushed and threw him a playful white-eyed glance.
anwhile, Bai Shan and Liu Zihan both showed smiles that were both shy and joyful.
Zhang Jingdong took Bai Shan's delicate hand and gave it a firm kiss, then took out his phone to call Yuan i.
After just two rings, the call connected: "Hello, Master!"
Zhang Jingdong was a bit taken aback, "Boss Yuan, please don't call that, it makes feel undeserving."
"Once a teacher, always a father. Besides, you gave such important guidance that benefited imnsely, so naturally, I must call you my master!"
Zhang Jingdong couldn't help but blush.
This was the first ti he'd felt flattered in front of a beautiful woman.
Firstly, because he hadn't been in contact with Yuan i for a long ti, and secondly, he got to know her through Yan Ning, so even though they had acknowledged a teacher-student relationship, he hadn't taken it to heart.
He wasn't planning on anything happening with Yuan i.
Even though she was indeed a beautiful woman, and his target, she was still Yan Ning's friend.
Although he had already pursued Qin Yu, who was close to Yan Ning, you can't keep eating from the sa garden, or else you might really upset Yan Ning and have her mad at you.
It's not worth it!
But Yuan i's tone at the mont seed to have a hint of flirtation.
Zhang Jingdong took a deep breath, then said, "Boss Yuan, I'd like to bring a few friends over to your place for dinner, do you have any rooms available?"
"Of course, even if no one else does, you'll always have a spot; after all, you're my master. Just co over, bring as many as you want, and I'll personally host you!"
Yuan i's voice instantly beca more cheerful.
Zhang Jingdong felt a pang in his chest, suddenly feeling like he was walking into a lion's den by going over there tonight.
But since he'd already brought it up, it wasn't right to back out now.
So he said, "Alright, there are four of us in total, we're heading over now. Thanks, Boss Yuan."
"Master, if you sincerely want to thank , then don't say 'thanks' anymore. I truly acknowledge you as my master!"
Zhang Jingdong sighed, "Alright, honestly, having you as my disciple is my honor."
"… That's the best complint I've heard in years."
"Okay, we're coming over now, see you in a bit!"
"Alright, see you soon!"
After hanging up, the corners of Yuan i's mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
She thought for a mont, then said to her assistant, "Go tell Chef Liu that I'll be personally hosting a table of guests later."
The female assistant was first taken aback, but when she saw Yuan i's uncontrollable smile, her heart was imdiately filled with a strong sense of gossip.
"Alright... alright!"
Saying that, she left the office.
Yuan i watched the door close, her face turning even redder with shyness.
She knew her assistant had noticed her unusual deanor.
But it wasn't because she was embarrassed to be seen as shy; rather, she was embarrassed to find herself still feeling shy because of Zhang Jingdong.
After all, at her core, she was a deeply introspective person, almost like a recluse.
Although she ran a private chef business, she would personally cook only about once a week, and that would have to be for good friends.
Most of her daily life was imrsed in the arts, effectively isolated from the world.
The reason she was so enthusiastic and even a bit overly forward with Zhang Jingdong was that his guidance had greatly improved her skills in calligraphy and music.
In this world, there are so very special individuals whose evaluative criteria differ completely from the norm.
For instance, so who are truly passionate about martial arts don't flatter the wealthy—instead, they might be wealthy themselves and genuinely admire martial arts masters.
Then there are people who are obsessed with longevity and thus highly value religious figures or even charlatans.
Like the celebrities Wang Fei and others who admire Wang Lin, or the abbot of a certain temple worth billions.
For soone like Yuan i, who is passionately devoted to traditional Chinese culture, whether Zhang Jingdong is a business genius is irrelevant, but his achievents in music and calligraphy truly impressed her.
That's why she sincerely acknowledged Zhang Jingdong as her master.
Plus, after not seeing him for so long, she had quietly gathered plenty of information about Zhang Jingdong from Yan Ning and others.
And in the process, she ca to know that Zhang Jingdong is a very flirtatious man.
However, rather than being instantly repulsed like other won, or cutting off contact with Zhang Jingdong, she found herself even more intrigued by him.
