Jiang Yanxi felt somewhat relieved after the black tiger whimpered twice.
However, upon further thought, she wondered if Qin Hui was even a man, unmoved as he was. Jiang Yanxi was quite confident in her own looks.
Could it be that Qin Hui was weak or ill?
A doctor cannot heal themselves!
"Alright, I'll believe you this once. You can go out now."
Jiang Yanxi pointed towards the door with an expression that clearly indicated he was dismissed.
Qin Hui was rendered speechless and quietly walked out of the room.
This girl's temper was quite fierce. He should have just left her at the hotel. After all, there were plenty of people willing to take advantage of a situation like that nowadays.
As Qin Hui walked through the corridor, he couldn't help but admire the oil paintings adorning the walls.
"Tsk, tsk, so many artworks. If I were to sell them, they'd fetch a pretty penny, wouldn't they? I wonder if Jiang Yanxi truly appreciates art."
Qin Hui muttered to himself. He knew that some bosses had rows of books in their offices, but discerning eyes could tell that the books were new and clearly untouched.
When Qin Hui reached the villa's entrance, he realized he had driven Jiang Yanxi's car back the previous night and his own car was still parked at the hotel.
Indeed, getting involved with this woman was a losing proposition.
Just as Qin Hui was about to hail a taxi, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground echoed in his ears.
"Qin Hui, wait a moment."
Jiang Yanxi quickly blocked his path. Because she was walking quickly, the noticeable undulations of her chest made Qin Hui feel a bit awkward.
"What is it?"
Qin Hui coughed to alleviate his embarrassment.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Yanxi had only spoken half the sentence when Qin Hui abruptly stepped back three paces, as if she were a monster about to devour him.
"What do you mean by this?"
Jiang Yanxi felt extremely frustrated. She was, after all, a renowned business goddess in Jiangnan Province, and the men who pursued her could form a line all the way to the moat.
"Director Jiang, please spare me. We aren't that close, are we? Don't try to pin anything on me."
"If you're feeling unhappy, you can go to Bai Ma Clubhouse. There are plenty of male escorts there. As long as you throw enough money around, they'll do whatever you want."
Qin Hui said, filled with lingering fear.
The first time he visited Jiang Yanxi's house, she sicced her dog on him. The second time she invited him for dinner, she made him act as free labor to drive her home, and then she suspected him of having impure thoughts about her.
Now, she seemed addicted to ordering him around, and here she was again.
Qin Hui wasn't a fool. Even a bull needed grass, didn't it?
Seeing Qin Hui's fearful demeanor, Jiang Yanxi paused. She had just received a call from her secretary saying that annoying Young Master Zhang had arrived again.
Therefore, to completely eliminate this bothersome fly, Jiang Yanxi decided to temporarily hire a boyfriend, which would save her a lot of trouble in the future.
Although it was to pretend to be her boyfriend, Jiang Yanxi couldn't find anyone suitable after searching everywhere. Only then did she remember that she had Qin Hui readily available.
For such readily available resources, Jiang Yanxi naturally prioritized him.
"Qin Hui, just do me a favor and pretend to be my boyfriend for a day."
Jiang Yanxi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
It was worth noting that Jiang Yanxi had never asked anyone for a favor before, so she naturally assumed Qin Hui would agree.
"This..."
"Certainly."
As Qin Hui said this, his stomach rumbled loudly.
"Impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanxi's previously smiling face turned cold.
"I advise you to come with me obediently, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make things difficult for you and give you a hard time."
"To tell you the truth, I have photos of you eating at my house and going out with me. If I spread them, I'm sure my legion of adoring fans will come looking for you."
Jiang Yanxi crossed her arms, reverting to her shrewd business persona.
Sometimes, to achieve certain goals, one had to resort to certain tactics.
"You..."
"How can there be such a calculating woman in this world."
Qin Hui's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Yanxi was actually willing to disregard her own reputation to pressure him.
Intelligent, beautiful, and resourceful.
It was often women like these who could withstand great storms, and it was often women like these who were the most difficult to offend.
Otherwise, the Jiang Corporation would have likely collapsed under Jiang Yanxi's leadership long ago.
Even Qin Hui had to admit that Jiang Yanxi was very capable.
The world was like this; those without methods would only become fish on a chopping block for others.
"Fine, I agree."
Although Qin Hui appeared heartbroken on the surface, he felt a trace of admiration for Jiang Yanxi in his heart.
"Really?"
A faint dimple appeared on Jiang Yanxi's fair face as she smiled.
While the dimple was lovely, if Qin Hui dared to say it was a lie, her face would turn as grim as a dead person's.
"More real than pearls."
Qin Hui patted his chest, giving a solemn assurance.
"Heh heh, I knew I picked the right person."
Jiang Yanxi patted Qin Hui's shoulder, upgrading his status in her mind, and then turned to go back to her room to wash up and change.
In reality, Jiang Yanxi was merely trying to scare Qin Hui. After all, how could such a beautiful woman be so unreasonable?
Watching her graceful figure disappear from sight, Qin Hui's lips curved slightly. He found this woman quite amusing.
Even though it was a fake boyfriend arrangement, Qin Hui felt that he shouldn't miss out on any opportunities to gain an advantage; otherwise, he'd be at a loss.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yanxi, having finished washing up, changed into a decent work outfit and left with Qin Hui for the company.
On the way, Jiang Yanxi incessantly instructed him on the details, fearing that others might see through their pretense.
If their ruse were exposed, Jiang Yanxi's troubles would not be resolved.
She knew that in Jiangnan Province, numerous officials' sons and wealthy individuals had their eyes on her. Jiang Yanxi understood that her marriage could determine a great deal, not just for her beauty but also for the Jiang Corporation behind her.
Therefore, there was a saying in Jiangnan Province: whoever obtained Jiang Yanxi would also gain the Jiang Corporation as her dowry, as Old Master Jiang only had one daughter.
Regarding Jiang Yanxi's instructions, Qin Hui listened with one ear and let it out the other. His gaze was fixed on Jiang Yanxi's pair of beautiful legs in black stockings.
If he could touch them... cough, his life was more important.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yanxi dropped Qin Hui off when they were still three hundred meters away from the company.
Jiang Yanxi could no longer tolerate Qin Hui's direct gaze. She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shamelessly blatant as him.
Fortunately, before leaving, Jiang Yanxi tossed Qin Hui a company card. Otherwise, someone like Qin Hui, with no credentials, wouldn't even be able to enter the company.
Qin Hui scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile.
It was all because Jiang Yanxi was dressed so attractively. Not looking wouldn't that be suffering for nothing?
After tidying his clothes, Qin Hui walked towards a nearby breakfast stall.
"She doesn't even cover breakfast when I'm working for Director Jiang. I should stay away from women like this in the future. If I married one, wouldn't I starve to death?"
Qin Hui couldn't help but complain.
