CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63 YAN NING (DEAR FANS, PLEASE FOLLOW)

Li Yiran then tried on two other dresses.

Although they were slightly worse than the first one, they were equally stunning.

So Zhang Jingdong said, "We’ll take all three. Put on that black one, and let’s go!"

Li Yiran obediently nodded and then went back to the fitting room.

After she changed, she followed Zhang Jingdong to the front desk to pay.

She had anticipated that the three dresses would be expensive, but she hadn’t dared to think that they would cost over 70,000!

After leaving the Galaxy Mall and getting into the car, Li Yiran still couldn’t calm down from the shock.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this and said, "Generally, when people hear someone spent over 70,000 on three dresses, they usually have two thoughts."

"The first is that this person is foolish, with over 70,000 yuan why do something silly like buying three measly dresses. Are those dresses made of gold? It’s just to cover the body, is it worth it?"

"The second thought is that this person is impressive, daring to spend over 70,000 on just three dresses, indicating that they have essentially achieved financial freedom. In the future, I also must work hard and strive to become such a person and live like that."

"Which one are you?"

Li Yiran paused for a moment, then surprisingly shook her head, "I am neither."

"Hmm?" Zhang Jingdong looked surprised: "Then what do you think?"

Li Yiran pursed her lips slightly, "I will strive to achieve financial freedom, but I wouldn’t spend 70,000 yuan on three dresses when I do, because I believe that what matters most at any time is who I am, not the brand of clothes I wear."

Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but admire, "Truly a scholar indeed, definitely has her own independent thoughts!"

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Guanlan Pavilion.

This is one of the most famous high-end tea and leisure clubs in Jiangdu.

Zhang Jingdong originally planned to take Li Yiran hiking today, but to keep up the pretense that buying designer clothes was for going to upscale places, he thought of this place on a whim.

It was also a good opportunity to look for new targets.

Upon entering, Zhang Jingdong first spent 20,000 to get a membership card, then followed the waiter to the outdoor tea house on the sixth floor.

The area is about a hundred square meters, with a dozen table sets.

Each set of tables and chairs was made of mahogany, simple and elegant.

The large umbrellas above were made of bamboo, really setting the scene of an ancient teahouse.

In the distance was the undulating surface of the river, truly fitting the "Guanlan" (watch the waves) in its name.

Since the table set near the river were all occupied, they chose a table in the middle.

Zhang Jingdong ordered a pot of Da Hong Pao tea along with some small snacks and pastries.

After the waiter left, he looked around briefly, then thought to himself, "Host, please initiate the search!"

"Search starting..."

"Target 1: Li Na, beauty score 90, figure 93, aura 90, overall rating 91."

"Target 2: Yan Ning, beauty score 97, figure 98, aura 98, overall rating 97."

"Target 3: Li Yiran, already contacted."

Zhang Jingdong was shocked when he saw Yan Ning’s score!

Damn, since having the system, she’s the one with the highest combined score, even higher than Lin Shishi and Xiao Fei!

He didn’t expect that today’s impromptu and accidental visit would lead to such a big catch, this really is fate!

And the name Yan Ning also sounds quite nice.

Zhang Jingdong then activated the positioning mode, and looked in the direction of Yan Ning.

Although due to the distance he couldn’t see her face clearly, based solely on her posture and demeanor, Zhang Jingdong concluded two things.

First, her family background must be good, because posture and demeanor can indeed best reflect a person’s background.

Second, she must be a strong woman, because her every move exudes a strong confidence, even a bit of arrogance, which must be from the sense of assurance gained from her successful career.

Such a woman is not easy to deal with!

Zhang Jingdong silently weighed whether to make a move.

Just then, Yan Ning suddenly stood up and walked towards the entrance.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingdong immediately said to Li Yiran, "I’m going to the restroom."

Having said that, he stood up immediately and followed.

Zhang Jingdong followed her all the way to the parking lot in front of the clubhouse before he took the initiative to greet Yan Ning: "Hello!"

Yan Ning turned her head to glance at Zhang Jingdong, nodded slightly, and then turned back to continue walking.

In that moment when she turned her head back, Zhang Jingdong got a clear look at her face.

He had to admit, her face truly deserved a score of 97.

There’s a term in future short videos known as the "nation’s calm and prosperous face," and Yan Ning was simply the epitome of it!

Regal and striking, bright and charming, the beauty of the land, ravishingly beautiful, soul-stirring... Zhang Jingdong was seeing these descriptive words come to life for the first time!

It took him a good three seconds to finally compose himself.

Then he began to think rapidly about how to handle the current situation.

He knew that with such a cool and aloof woman, if his next sentence didn’t pique her interest, he would basically have no chance with her!

But coming up with such a sentence was incredibly difficult!

Just as Yan Ning was about to get in her car, Zhang Jingdong almost subconsciously said: "Do you know Bruce Lee?"

Yan Ning was startled for a moment, clearly not expecting him to ask such a question.

She turned her head slightly: "Of course, what about it?"

"Host successfully gained the target’s response, rewarded with 10,000 yuan!"

"I have skills just like his, would you like to see?"

Yan Ning was again somewhat surprised, especially seeing Zhang Jingdong’s branded outfit and the serious expression on his face, she couldn’t help but stop: "Alright."

Seeing that he had indeed piqued her curiosity, Zhang Jingdong immediately performed a standard Bruce Lee-style kick, followed by several rapid punches.

After watching, a hint of surprise emerged on Yan Ning’s usually cold face.

She initially thought Zhang Jingdong was bragging and at most knew some basic moves, but she didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong’s portrayal of Bruce Lee to not only look the part but also feel incredibly accurate.

His mannerisms were exactly like Bruce Lee himself, except for his looks!

Especially that confident and fierce gaze, truly had a bit of a man’s dominance!

Although Bruce Lee passed away in 1973, for various reasons, his films were not widely released in the mainland until the 90s, whereupon they became a national sensation.

Thus, many people born in the 70s and 80s in the mainland are fans of Bruce Lee, and in Hong Kong and Taiwan, even those born in the 60s, like Zhou Xingchi.

Inevitably, after all, Bruce Lee was indeed a revered figure.

And Yan Ning greatly admired Bruce Lee.

So, by association, for a man who could nearly perfectly replicate all his classic moves, she really couldn’t help but treat him exceptionally.

She then said: "Alright, your skills are indeed very good, but... did you come to me just to show off your skills?"

Zhang Jingdong casually responded: "If you ever encounter any danger, or if you need someone to pretend to be your boyfriend, to drive you, to accompany you shopping, or to go bungee jumping with you on adventures, feel free to call me anytime!"

"As for the payment... 500 a day, but you can also replace it by treating me to a meal, how about that?"

Yan Ning knew this guy was trying to pick her up, but she had never seen such a unique and interesting approach.

Moreover, with his skills, without ten or eight years of hard practice, they couldn’t have been so spirited.

Thus she broke the norm and smiled, nodding her head: "Alright."

Seeing Yan Ning agree, Zhang Jingdong immediately took out a business card he had prepared, handed it to her: "I’m available 24/7, call me anytime."

Yan Ning took the business card, glanced at it, and then put it in her bag.

She also took out her own business card and handed it to Zhang Jingdong: "This is my contact information, if you encounter any tricky issues in Jiangdu in the future, feel free to call me."

"Target provided the Host with contact information voluntarily, rewarded with 50,000 yuan!"

Zhang Jingdong did not expect Yan Ning to proactively offer her contact information, and based on the tone of her voice, Zhang Jingdong reassured that she is indeed a person of caliber.

He took the business card: "Okay."

"Then... goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Yan Ning took a deep look at Zhang Jingdong, then turned and walked away.

Zhang Jingdong looked at the business card in his hand: Yan Ning, Chairman of Maple Forest Group!

He smiled, put the business card away, and headed into the clubhouse.
