At the mont Liu Guoqing turned to escape, Ye Jinyan faced Zhang Jingdong, who had opened his arms as if to hug her. She was initially stunned, then instinctively took two steps back, both embarrassed and annoyed.
She turned her head to look at her assistant, Lin Qiuyue, and said annoyed, "Hey... you... you’re too presumptuous!"
Zhang Jingdong shrugged his shoulders, "We haven’t seen each other for days, and you don’t miss at all!"
Ye Jinyan imdiately glared at him.
"Why... why should I miss you? We’re just business partners, okay?"
Zhang Jingdong blurted out, "Didn’t we bet that as long as I can secure the investnt with Ali this ti, you would agree to be my girlfriend? Don’t worry, I’ve co now, and today we will definitely achieve a great victory quickly. Just get ready to be my girlfriend!"
"Wha... what!?" Ye Jinyan was montarily puzzled, "When did I make that bet with you? I don’t rember at all!"
Zhang Jingdong feigned surprise, "No way, you could forget such a big bet? Your mory is too poor!"
"But I understand, maybe you forgot because of the stress from this project recently. It’s okay, you don’t rember, but I do..."
At this mont, Ye Jinyan noticed the smirk at the corner of Zhang Jingdong’s mouth and instantly realized, "Zhang Jingdong, you... you dare to tease !"
Zhang Jingdong struggled to hold back his laughter, "How did I tease you?"
"We didn’t even make that bet, you’re just making things up to fool !"
"Listen to yourself... that day, you clearly said that this project with Ali was hard to talk about. Then I said we’re on the investnt side, not the financing side. As long as we find the right entry point, we can reach an agreent with them in no ti."
"Then you said it wasn’t that simple, and I said it was that simple, then you got a bit anxious and made this bet with on your own."
Seeing Zhang Jingdong’s serious deanor at this mont, Ye Jinyan actually started trying hard to recall that day’s conversation with him.
As she seed less and less puzzled, Zhang Jingdong sensed she was about to figure it out and promptly said, "Since you can’t recall, how about this, let’s make a new bet now?"
"If I manage to secure the project with Ali today, you agree to be my girlfriend. If I don’t succeed, I’ll add another hundred million to your company’s investnt. How about that?"
Ye Jinyan snapped back to attention, glanced closely at Zhang Jingdong, then said, "No way! You... you must stop thinking about this!"
Zhang Jingdong noticed the hint of panic and shyness in her eyes.
Of course, he knew she wouldn’t agree to this bet. He just wanted to test her, to tease her a bit, and regains the upper hand in front of Miss Ye.
At this point, his goal was mostly achieved, so he pretended to have lost face and sighed, "I offer my heart to the bright moon, yet the moon shines upon the ditch!"
"Alright, but as they say, unsuccessful in love, successful in business. I’ll temporarily set aside the feelings of love and wholeheartedly strive for my great career. Let’s go!"
Seeing him so dramatically noble, Ye Jinyan felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
But she couldn’t say anything at the mont, so she had no choice but to lead the way to the car nearby.
Soon they reached a black Sprinter, and it was then that Ye Jinyan suddenly noticed Long Yue, who had been following Zhang Jingdong all along.
She turned to look at Zhang Jingdong, and asked aningfully, "Who’s this?"
Zhang Jingdong heard the questioning tone in Ye Jinyan’s voice. If they hadn’t just talked about the bet, he might have been a bit guilty.
But now...
He directly said confidently, "Her na is Long Yue, she’s my bodyguard and assistant."
"Bodyguard and assistant?"
Ye Jinyan had a look as if saying, "You’re kidding a three-year-old," "Where did you find such a pretty bodyguard and assistant?"
Zhang Jingdong was amused, then turned to look at Lin Qiuyue, "Your bodyguard and assistant are also very pretty, if you can find soone like that, why can’t I?"
Zhang Jingdong’s latter sentence had a deliberately challenging tone, as if toward a girlfriend.
Ye Jinyan gave him a slight side-eye but didn’t fall into the trap, "Alright, find whoever you want, who cares!"
Saying this, she got into the car on her own.
Only then did Zhang Jingdong finally break into a laugh, quickly composed himself, and followed her into the car.
He hadn’t noticed before getting in, but after entering the car, he realized that this vehicle was quite flashy.
Not only was there plenty of space, but the interior style was also particularly grand and majestic.
He couldn’t help but think to himself, Ye Jinyan really deserves to be the daughter of an affluent family; every detail exudes nobility and luxury, without being the least bit ostentatious.
He made his way to the back, intending to sit next to Ye Jinyan.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyan hurriedly said, "Why... why are you sitting here?"
Zhang Jingdong suddenly put on a solemn face, "Mr. Ye, our ti is not ample. From now on, we have to seize every minute and every second."
"I have so many questions to ask you. Before starting the negotiation with Ali, I must have a precise understanding of the current situation, so that I can handle things with ease and confidence."
"Victory in any battle is never achieved through boastfulness, but through thorough preparation and flawless performance. We have such a major ’battle’ to fight now, yet you are still fussing over a trivial matter like the difference between n and won, not wanting to sit here."
"Mr. Ye, don’t you feel that’s a bit petty?"
