CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 330: ZHOU YINGYING’S METHODS_2

"Boss Li, I heard from Yangyang that your name is Li Jing. Can I call you Brother Jing? Or maybe Li Jing Gege or Brother Li? However you prefer I call you, I’ll do it."

Li Jing glanced at her indifferently, responding calmly, "It’s just an address, as you please."

Seeing that Li Jing wasn’t buying her friendliness, Zhou Yingying wasn’t discouraged. Instead, she became even more proactive, "Then I’ll call you Brother Jing."

Hearing Zhou Yingying call him "Brother Jing" over and over, Shi Yang, on the side, couldn’t help but shiver, goosebumps rising all over.

She felt incredibly embarrassed calling him "Brother Li Jing" herself, but Zhou Yingying said it so naturally, making her feel inexplicably uncomfortable inside.

However, Shi Yang thought that Zhou Yingying was helping her test Li Jing, so she didn’t say much and rarely interjected, allowing Zhou Yingying to freely interact with Li Jing.

Zhou Yingying was naturally pleased with Shi Yang’s silent and proactive withdrawal.

Previously, she was the good friend who helped Shi Yang catch a bad guy.

Now, she only saw Shi Yang as a rival for her target man.

Seizing this opportunity, she decided to get close to this wealthy man from Tianhai.

While talking, Zhou Yingying directly moved her seat next to Li Jing’s, and they sat close together like a couple.

Seeing this, Li Jing just gave her a glance but didn’t stop her.

Zhou Yingying was indeed a bit clever. Although she was enthusiastic, she knew how to maintain boundaries, keeping a suitable distance from Li Jing to avoid offending him.

She introduced the characteristics and ways to eat each dish to Li Jing meticulously, chatting casually, and occasionally giving him subtle compliments.

If it were an average man, they might have long been stirred by Zhou Yingying’s flattering words and teasing looks.

However, Li Jing was already quite accustomed to such tactics.

Having been through many top beauties, Li Jing was immune to Zhou Yingying’s ordinary teasing tricks.

Even though Li Jing appeared composed, his aura and the unintentional display of strong financial prowess stirred slight ripples and romantic feelings in Zhou Yingying’s heart.

Zhou Yingying was a local. Although her family wasn’t poor, there was still a significant gap compared to someone like Shi Yang, a true second-generation wealthy boy.

The reason she became friends with Shi Yang was that she yearned for Shi Yang’s privileged lifestyle.

To get in touch with the second-generation wealthy circles, Zhou Yingying actively socialized, observing and learning, navigating through various elite circles.

With her enthusiastic attitude, sensible demeanor, and keen insight, she made many connections among the second-generation wealthy.

Shi Yang could find no more suitable candidate than her to test Li Jing.

For Zhou Yingying, helping Shi Yang also allowed her to improve her relationships with the wealthy circles.

But now, a man appeared who was more advantageous than Shi Yang.

If she could successfully win him over, the value and significance for Zhou Yingying would be clearly greater.

Moreover, Li Jing wasn’t like what Shi Yang described, a deceitful and lecherous jerk.

On the contrary, under her continual enthusiastic advances, Li Jing maintained a considerable calmness, much stronger than those greasy, sleazy middle-aged men she usually saw.

And so, the dinner lasted for several tens of minutes.

Li Jing not only didn’t reveal a jerk side as Shi Yang expected, but Zhou Yingying became more attracted to Li Jing as they interacted.

Especially when Zhou Yingying casually brought up some topics, indirectly asking about Li Jing’s career, Li Jing didn’t hide much, casually mentioning his businesses and properties in Tianhai.

Although the information disclosed was limited, Zhou Yingying judged from it that Li Jing wasn’t someone completely dependent on family wealth, but a man truly with his own career.

This was far superior to the other wealthy heirs she knew in Hai City, most of whom still heavily relied on their families, lacking outstanding financial strength and careers of their own.

As Zhou Yingying learned more about Li Jing, her interest in him grew stronger.

Meanwhile, Shi Yang wasn’t aware of the change in Zhou Yingying’s attitude, not knowing that now her friend couldn’t wait to throw herself at Li Jing.

What Shi Yang didn’t see coming was that Li Jing remained extremely composed throughout, not showing the slightest hint of perversion toward Zhou Yingying, or even glancing at her much.

This led Shi Yang to wonder: Did she really misunderstand him before? Could he actually be a gentleman?

The dinner went on for about forty to fifty minutes, gradually nearing its end.

For this kind of dinner, Li Jing’s experience was actually better than expected.

He originally expected Shi Yang to keep giving him attitude, but somehow, during this dinner, Shi Yang neither mocked him nor made sarcastic remarks, instead maintaining a rare silence and calm.

Although Zhou Yingying, sitting beside him, was beautiful compared to average people, she had an air of worldliness, which failed to arouse much interest in Li Jing.

However, Zhou Yingying knew how to flatter and please, continuously providing appropriate emotional value for Li Jing, making the dining experience quite decent for him.

After all, it was just a meal. Having a decent-looking woman attentively serving him, this feeling wasn’t bad.

So overall, Li Jing was fairly satisfied with this dinner.
