CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 330: ZHOU YINGYING’S METHODS

Not long after, Li Jing arrived at the high-end restaurant Shi Yang had reserved.

Inside the restaurant, Shi Yang and Zhou Yingying were already seated.

Before Shi Yang could greet him, Zhou Yingying caught sight of the figure at the door, raised an eyebrow, then eagerly rushed over with a playful laugh:

"Yangyang, is this your friend Boss Li? What a talented, promising young man! Such an outstanding handsome guy, and you didn’t tell me beforehand—you’re not being a very good friend."

With that, she quickly turned her head and, with a broad smile, said to Li Jing, "Hello Boss Li, I’m Yangyang’s close friend, Zhou Yingying. You can just call me Yingying."

As she spoke, she intentionally bent slightly forward, revealing a large area of fair and ample skin instantaneously.

Only then did Shi Yang stand up, pausing before greeting him somewhat awkwardly:

"Li, Li Jing-ge, this is my close friend. We happened to meet up, so I invited her over. You don’t mind, do you?"

When Shi Yang called Li Jing "Brother," a slight hint of unease crossed her face, but she quickly covered it up.

Li Jing responded with a slight nod to Shi Yang, then turned to look at the overly enthusiastic Zhou Yingying beside him, feeling a bit puzzled.

He truly hadn’t anticipated that Shi Yang—the cool and aloof young lady—would have a friend that was so lively and outgoing.

To Li Jing, these two had polar opposite personalities, and he couldn’t fathom how they became close friends.

Li Jing gave Zhou Yingying a sweeping glance. By his aesthetic standards, Zhou Yingying’s appearance scored a 6.5, and her figure was also a 6.5.

Such scores would make her considered a beauty among ordinary people.

But Zhou Yingying’s makeup was striking, not only intentionally lowering the neckline, but her attire was overly bright, coming off as gaudy and adding a somewhat risque vibe.

This reduced Li Jing’s interest in Zhou Yingying and lowered her overall impression score in his mind.

Therefore, when Zhou Yingying eagerly approached him, Li Jing merely responded politely without showing much enthusiasm.

Moreover, he held a belief that when something unusual happens, there’s often untold intentions behind it.

Li Jing knew Zhou Yingying knew nothing about him, yet being so proactively passionate after just one glance was evidently atypical in normal social logic.

Besides, given Shi Yang’s previous attitude towards him, Li Jing didn’t think Shi Yang would praise him abundantly in front of her friend.

Upon thinking this, Zhou Yingying’s behavior appeared especially suspicious.

Thus, Li Jing cautiously kept an eye on her and deliberately maintained a certain distance.

Seeing Li Jing’s cold demeanor toward her, Zhou Yingying was somewhat surprised, yet her smile didn’t diminish in the least—she became even warmer.

She unhesitatingly took Li Jing’s elbow, guiding him to the dining table, considerately pulling out a chair and gesturing for him to sit.

Meanwhile, she babbled to Shi Yang, "Yangyang, look, Boss Li is such a talented man. If you’re not interested in him, I won’t hold back."

"Such an outstanding man, I can’t let him slip away!"

Shi Yang knew Zhou Yingying was deliberately probing Li Jing, so she didn’t respond, instead secretly watching for Li Jing’s reaction.

But Li Jing remained unmoved, which somewhat surprised Shi Yang. Ultimately, she had no choice but to summon a waiter to order and serve the dishes.

And Zhou Yingying noticed her attempts at endearing herself were having little effect, so she carefully examined Li Jing.

Li Jing had an uncommon demeanor, a tall and straight physique, and his well-fitted clothes gave him extra charm, exuding a unique aura around him.

Although Li Jing couldn’t be considered a top-tier handsome man, he eclipsed most ordinary men.

There’s a saying that clothes make the man, and Li Jing’s dress from luxury brands along with his perfectly enhanced physique made even his moderately above-average features impressive beyond that of ordinary people.

Besides his striking demeanor, what caught Zhou Yingying’s eye the most was the brand of clothing on Li Jing.

Especially the Patek Philippe on Li Jing’s wrist, it astonished Zhou Yingying.

Though her own economic strength wasn’t on the level of a second-generation wealthy like Shi Yang, she often mingled with wealthy heirs and was familiar with various luxury brands.

There’s a saying, "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches." For someone skilled at engaging men, recognizing luxury watches was a mandatory course.

She immediately recognized that Li Jing’s watch was worth at least a million.

Coupled with the branded attire on him—adding up the whole outfit was worth several million, almost as if he were wearing a house from Hai City.

With such financial power, even compared to Shi Yang or any wealthy heir Zhou Yingying had met, none could compare.

This realization of Li Jing’s significant economic potency led to a subtle shift in Zhou Yingying’s mindset.

Initially, she only intended to help Shi Yang probe Li Jing, expose this man’s true character.

But now, confronted with a wealthy and handsome young man, her inner thoughts changed.

If she could successfully attach herself to Li Jing, it would be all benefits and no harm for her.

And this corresponded with her lifelong goal.

So, her attitude shifted from passive to active, her smile became brighter, her demeanor more ardent and sincere.

Once the dishes were served, Zhou Yingying immediately picked up the communal chopsticks, carefully selecting food for Li Jing while speaking sweetly:
