348: Chapter 375 Let's have a chat - 1

Guest Room 609.

Jiang Ye had just casually tossed his coat onto the sofa and hadn't even had time to size up this so-called "deluxe" suite when a "thump, thump, thump" sounded at the door.

He scratched his head and conveniently tapped the recording function on his spare phone before walking over to pull open the door.

"How was it? No vice squad downstairs? Were you followed?"

“...”

The two women walked in one after the other, both rolling their eyes in unison, acting as if they hadn't heard a word.

As soon as Jiang Shuang entered, her gaze scanned the room and quickly locked onto her target—the bathroom.

Without a word, she tossed her handbag onto the sofa and headed straight for the bathroom.

"Oh man, I've been running around all day and I'm covered in sweat. I'm going to wash up first!"

As a newly minted gold-digger, Jiang Shuang's methods might be far inferior to Ms. Qin's, but there was one thing she understood very clearly.

There was only one bathroom; she had to seize the initiative and wash first, leaving those two to wait outside!

Otherwise, if those two finished washing first and sparks flew while she was in the shower, by the time she came out smelling all nice, they would have already finished the battle and entered 'sage mode.' Wouldn't all her effort be for nothing?

She absolutely could not make such a rookie mistake!

“...”

Jiang Ye watched as Jiang Shuang scurried into the bathroom and shrugged indifferently.

He walked into the living room, slumped comfortably onto the sofa, propped his legs up on the coffee table, and pulled out his phone to start sending a WeChat message to Su Ning.

During these few days of the New Year, Comrade Xiao Su seemed to be getting a bit big-headed; she actually dared to tell him to call her "Aunt Su" on the phone just now?!

Spare the rod and spoil the child; it seemed she had forgotten the fear of being dominated by his "deliberations"!

He definitely had to give her a piece of his mind.

Ms. Qin also walked gracefully into the living room. She didn't choose any other spot but sat down very naturally next to Jiang Ye, her legs pressed together and tilted slightly to the side, still maintaining that impeccable standard flight attendant sitting posture.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much. I've caused you trouble."

"That's enough, Xiao Qin..."

Jiang Ye shifted his gaze from his phone screen and glanced at her. "Second Uncle and Second Aunt aren't here; it's just the three of us. Stop acting, okay? Aren't you tired?"

"Mr. Jiang, you..."

Ms. Qin frowned slightly, her smile remaining unchanged. "Is there some misunderstanding about me? Or... did Xiao Shuang say something to you earlier?"

"Girl, I'm not trying to put you down."

Jiang Ye clicked his tongue and put down his phone. "This routine of yours is really a bit outdated. It only works on the older generation like Second Uncle and Second Aunt who haven't seen much of the world, or idiots like Tian Haoran. Can't you tell? Even that little Girl Li Ting can feel something is off with you, yet you're still here feeling good about yourself?"

Ms. Qin's breath hitched slightly, but she still maintained her poise, shaking her head with a smile.

"It seems Mr. Jiang really has some preconceived misunderstandings about me."

"See, you still don't believe me."

Jiang Ye smacked his lips with an 'impossible to teach' expression. "Come, big brother will open your eyes and let you see what a 'top-tier green tea' in today's market looks like."

As he spoke, he opened his SMS interface and handed the screen to Ms. Qin. "See for yourself."

The latest message read:

[Little bro, you called so suddenly, how was I supposed to know how to play along?! It's already good enough that I didn't ask you for a performance fee, and yet you actually shouted at me?! Where's your character? Where's your class? Next time I'll just say right then and there, "Where's my delivery?" and see how you handle it! Hmph!]

Ms. Qin looked at the domineering tone of the text and tilted her head to look at Jiang Ye. The meaning in her eyes was clear: You like this kind of disrespectful, reckless little Girl who doesn't know her place?

Jiang Ye looked at her expression and smiled without explaining. He switched to WeChat and played the latest voice message.

Immediately, a gooey, sweet, and clingy teenage Girl's voice came from the phone:

"Big brother, what are you doing? Baby misses you so much~! I dreamed of you during my nap just now; you even kissed me, heehee~~ You bad boy! You even used your tongue~!"

“...?”

Listening to these two completely different tones, Ms. Qin tilted her head again, her confusion deepening. She seemed utterly perplexed that the man in front of her could maintain ambiguous relationships with two Girls of such diametrically opposed personalities at the same time.

This taste... was way too varied, wasn't it?

Jiang Ye chuckled, pointed at the contact name "Xiao Su" in the SMS, and then at the contact name "Yaoyao" in WeChat.

"Girl, these two... are the same person."

Ms. Qin froze in shock. She looked at Jiang Ye in disbelief, then lowered her head to carefully check the timestamps of the two messages—they were less than two minutes apart!

Schizophrenia?

Split personality?

A psychotic Girl?

This guy named Jiang... actually liked this kind of mentally deficient type?!

"What? Still don't get it?"

Jiang Ye looked at her shocked expression and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, seemingly disappointed in her perceptiveness.

"Forget it, if you don't get it, you don't get it. This stuff depends on talent. By the way, Xiao Qin, do you have any other personas? Or some relatively novel, up-to-date routines? Why don't you share them so we can all exchange some insights?"

“...”

Ms. Qin opened her mouth, completely dazed by this sudden shift into "industry exchange meeting" mode.

Wait...

She had stayed behind to test this man's true thoughts about her and his potential value. How did the vibe suddenly turn into "experience sharing"?
