In the office of Yuanfeng Group, Zhang Aimin sat on Li Se’s lap. She smiled and said, “There’s a business gathering tonight. Will you accompany me?”
“I know nothing about business. Perhaps I shouldn’t go?” Li Se was a bit reluctant.
“Are you sure?” Zhang Aimin huffed. “Fine, but at this business gathering, who knows how many outstanding men might want to pursue me…”
“Alright, alright… I’ll go, okay?” Li Se wore a look of helplessness, though his interest in business matters was indeed quite low.
Before heading to the business gathering, Zhang Aimin dragged Li Se to the mall to change their clothes.
“I think this outfit is fine for me,” Li Se preferred to wear something more casual. After all, he wasn't going to discuss any business, so he hadn’t prepared a suit.
“That won’t do. You are my man. Even if it’s just an ordinary business gathering, you’ll be the most handsome one there!” Zhang Aimin smiled.
After carefully selecting for a while, Li Se finally put on a suit. He had to admit, in a suit, he looked even more handsome and exuded the aura of a successful man.
“So handsome!” Zhang Aimin praised him.
“Well, isn’t this Zhang Aimin? Her husband died less than a year ago, and she’s already found a new beau?”
A snide voice echoed.
Li Se followed the sound and saw a woman dressed somewhat provocatively. Beside her was a middle-aged man around forty, his face oily, his hair thinning, sporting a receding hairline.
“Heh, is there a problem?” Zhang Aimin glanced at the woman. “It’s better than you finding an old man, isn’t it?”
Ge Qianqian’s eyes turned cold as she retorted, “What do you know? This is called the charm of a mature man. My companion is the CEO of a listed company, with assets exceeding a hundred million!”
“Hello, I’m Chi Jianhong.” The man with the receding hairline proactively extended his hand towards Zhang Aimin. His eyes were fixed on her; she was so mature and beautiful, filling him with fantasies. She was nothing like the woman beside him. In comparison, Ge Qianqian suddenly seemed like an ugly duckling.
“Hello, Li Se, Zhang Aimin’s man!” Li Se shook Chi Jianhong’s hand and smiled.
Chi Jianhong withdrew his hand with a hint of disdain, his expression one of displeasure. He had wanted to shake hands with Zhang Aimin, not a man. The thought made him somewhat angry.
Seeing the greedy look on her man’s face, Ge Qianqian immediately understood. Jealousy surged within her, and she sarcastically said, “I say, Zhang Aimin, why aren’t you properly being a widow? Why have you found a pretty boy?”
“Is it any of your business?” Zhang Aimin said impatiently.
“Tsk, tsk, your deceased husband must feel it was not worth it. Not even a year has passed, and you’ve already fallen into someone else’s arms. Alas.” Ge Qianqian’s voice was loud, as if she was afraid no one nearby could hear.
Many people couldn’t help but look over. However, in today’s society, a year after a husband’s death, finding another partner didn’t seem so unacceptable. Of course, some people began pointing fingers at Zhang Aimin.
“A pretty boy is still better than you finding an old man, right?” Li Se retorted.
Chi Jianhong might be wealthy, but his appearance and age were worlds apart from Li Se. After all, Li Se, in his suit, had a touch of the prince charming about him, handsome and sunny, nowhere comparable to a man with a receding hairline.
“Hmph, what’s the use of being handsome?” Chi Jianhong snorted. “In this day and age, you need money. Looks alone can’t put food on the table. See that luxury goods store? With my capabilities, I could buy everything inside with a blink of an eye. Can you?”
“Why not? Shall we have a competition then?” Li Se was quite wealthy now. Although he rarely spent money and lived a relatively ordinary life, indulging in extravagance occasionally was quite enjoyable.
“Sure, then buy me that bag!” Chi Jianhong pointed to a bag worth fifty thousand, saying it with a casual air.
The sales assistant’s face lit up, and she immediately began packaging the bag for Chi Jianhong.
“Thank you, darling!” Ge Qianqian kissed Chi Jianhong’s oily face.
“A mere fifty thousand, it’s nothing.” Chi Jianhong wanted to showcase his wealth to Zhang Aimin. Although he was older and somewhat greasy, he had been navigating the romantic scene for years. Very few women he desired had ever refused him. If he could use this display of power to lure Zhang Aimin into his bed, it would be incredibly satisfying.
“What’s the most expensive bag in your store?” Li Se asked directly.
“Sir, this one is one point five million!” a female sales assistant introduced.
Although Li Se was rich, he was still a little taken aback. A bag worth one point five million, was it inlaid with gold?
“Tingting, are you silly? Why are you introducing this to him? Look at his appearance, does he look like someone who can afford such an expensive bag?” the sales assistant serving Chi Jianhong said mockingly.
“Sister Sun, but he…” Yue Tingting wanted to say something.
“No need to introduce it to him. He clearly can’t afford it,” Sister Sun said disdainfully.
“That’s right. Introducing it is pointless. Just a pretty boy, and he wants to buy a bag worth over a million. Does he have that kind of capability?” Chi Jianhong said contemptuously.
Ge Qianqian was feeling exceptionally pleased at this moment. Being able to thoroughly put Zhang Aimin down made her feel incredibly happy. She immediately said haughtily, “Zhang Aimin, you’re not so great either. You found a pretty boy with no power. Why don’t you buy this bag yourself? Oh, I just remembered, your monthly income is only tens of thousands. Buying a bag worth over a million would be a huge pressure for you. Forget it.”
“Beautiful lady, if you like it, I can buy you a bag worth over a hundred thousand,” Chi Jianhong said with a lewd smile. He was already getting impatient to take Zhang Aimin to a hotel.
“No need!” Zhang Aimin said with a cold face. “My man can afford it.”
“Please package this bag worth over a million for me,” Li Se said, taking out a black card.
“A black card!” Yue Tingting gasped upon seeing the card.
“I heard you need a deposit of over a hundred million to apply for a black card!” Sister Sun, although not wealthy herself, had some knowledge from working in such a luxury store. She realized she had misjudged him. Thinking about how she had just mocked Li Se, she now trembled with fear.
Chi Jianhong’s expression changed slightly, but he still stubbornly said, “Hmph, who knows if this black card is real or fake? It might just be a scam, with no money in it at all. This isn’t even a black card…”
Ding!
The card transaction was successful!
Before he could finish speaking, the transaction was already completed.
Chi Jianhong and Ge Qianqian were dumbfounded. Was this still a pretty boy?
