24: Chapter 24 A Clown

Xinxin looked around and quickly spotted Jiang Jing. Her eyes lit up—could this tall, handsome young man be Brother CC?!

She walked quickly up to Jiang Jing and asked with a smile, "Are you Brother CC?"

"It's me." Jiang Jing locked eyes with her, a perfectly measured smile curling the corners of his lips. He nodded and politely extended his hand. "Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself, I'm Jiang Jing."

Xinxin was overjoyed to hear this. She reached out with her soft little hand, grasped Jiang Jing's palm, and said, "I'm Lin Yuxin. Brother, you're so handsome! Tee-hee~"

She had expected to meet a greasy, middle-aged nouveau riche, but she hadn't expected the other party to be such a young, handsome, and stylish man.

Xinxin felt like she had struck gold, so she prepared to execute Plan A!

Jiang Jing was a bit dazed. Looking at the girl with a face like a blooming flower before him, he thought to himself: As expected, women are all visual animals to some extent.

Though, so is he~

He hadn't expected Xinxin's affection to increase by 10 points the moment she saw him. It looked like this was in the bag.

She carried a small crossbody bag and wore makeup even more refined than when she was live streaming; her eyelashes were brushed out to be distinct and defined, and her lip glaze was the most popular peach color of the moment.

Jiang Jing took her small hand directly and led her toward the car.

Although Xinxin was stunned for a moment, she didn't resist at all and let Jiang Jing hold her hand.

Arriving in front of the Ferrari, Jiang Jing opened the passenger door and let Xinxin sit inside.

Xinxin sat in the Ferrari, surrounded by the touch of the leather seats and the high-end fragrance inside the car; a sense of unreality arose spontaneously. Two or three days ago, she was just an obscure little streamer, but now she was sitting in a luxury car, with a perfect man beside her willing to spend a fortune on her.

"Brother, where are we going now?" Xinxin couldn't help but ask as the car started.

Jiang Jing turned his head to look at her, his smile profound: "Let's go for a stroll first, and I'll buy you some things you like."

The very simple and direct answer made Xinxin's face fill with shyness.

Xinxin's original plan was to see what Jiang Jing looked like. If he were a pot-bellied, bald man with bad breath, Xinxin would rather give up everything she had now; after all, if that were truly the case, she didn't think she loved money that much.

If Jiang Jing had an average appearance, Xinxin was prepared to keep him on a string, occasionally giving him some sweetness, just enough so that Jiang Jing wouldn't forget about her.

But in the current situation, it was obvious that Jiang Jing was a tall, rich, and handsome man. Xinxin decided she had to seize this opportunity; if she could really become his girlfriend or wife, it would be an absolute steal.

The roar of the ferrari sf90's engine was exceptionally eye-catching on the bustling streets of Rong City.

Xinxin sat in the passenger seat, her hands gripping the seatbelt tightly, but her eyes couldn't help but look around. She had never sat in such a luxury car, let alone imagined that a man would drive such a car specifically to pick her up.

"Let's go stroll around this mall first." Jiang Jing held the steering wheel with one hand, his profile sharp and angular in the morning light.

"I'll listen to whatever Brother says." Xinxin nodded obediently, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement.

The Rong City International Shopping Center was one of the most luxurious commercial landmarks in the city, gathering global first-tier luxury brands. Jiang Jing parked the Ferrari steadily in a VIP spot in front of the main entrance, and uniformed concierge staff immediately came forward to serve them.

"Welcome, sir." The manager clearly recognized this luxury car.

Jiang Jing casually tossed the car keys to the valet and naturally put an arm around Xinxin's slender waist. "Buy whatever you want today."

Xinxin's face flushed instantly. She looked down at her own domestic brand sneakers that cost a few hundred yuan and suddenly felt a bit ashamed of herself. "Brother, the things here are too expensive. Let's go somewhere else..."

"Expensive?" Jiang Jing chuckled. "For me, there is no such concept as expensive."

He had subtly flexed, and Xinxin cast a look of admiration his way.

They first walked into the Hermès boutique. He asked Xinxin which bags she thought looked good. Xinxin scanned them for a few moments and pointed out the bags she liked.

"This one, this one, and that one over there—wrap them all up." Jiang Jing pointed to three different colored Birkin bags and said to the dumbfounded salesperson.

"Sir, this crocodile leather Birkin bag is priced at 480,000..." the salesperson reminded him tactfully.

Jiang Jing didn't even blink. "Swipe the card."

A pleasant system cashback notification rang in Jiang Jing's mind.

The feeling of making money while spending it made Jiang Jing feel completely comfortable. He turned to look at Xinxin; the girl was staring wide-eyed at the salesperson carefully wrapping those sky-high priced bags, her cherry lips slightly parted, unable to close them for a long time.

"Brother Jiang... this is too valuable, I can't accept it..." Xinxin waved her hands in a panic.

"It's only a little over a million." Although Jiang Jing's voice wasn't loud, it was clear enough for the other customers in the shop to hear. "As long as you like it, it's worth any amount of money."

Throwing money around combined with cheesy pickup lines had a huge lethality for a young girl like Xinxin.

Look, this is the effect!

Over the next few hours, Jiang Jing took Xinxin on a sweep of the entire shopping center. A Cartier diamond necklace, a Chanel haute couture set, a Louis Vuitton limited edition suitcase... as long as Xinxin glanced at something for a second longer, Jiang Jing bought it immediately.

System notification sounds rang out one after another, and Jiang Jing's bank balance didn't decrease but instead increased.

"Brother, why are you so good to me?" When Jiang Jing put that 800,000-valued Van Cleef & Arpels butterfly necklace on her, Xinxin's eyes reddened slightly.

Jiang Jing's fingers gently brushed across her fair neck, feeling the girl's slight trembling. "Because I like you."

For girls with high affection, Jiang Jing always stated it directly; there was no possibility of failure, because it was just a matter of poking through a thin layer of window paper.

Almost there, just one last push, and there will be another mysterious reward.

At noon, Jiang Jing brought the fully-loaded Xinxin to "Yunding," a high-end French restaurant in Rong City.

Having bought so many things that were inconvenient to carry, Jiang Jing had the store staff send them directly to his manor; after all, the Ferrari didn't have much space, and it wasn't meant for hauling cargo.

Xinxin stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the beautiful scenery of all of Rong City, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"

"Not as beautiful as you." Jiang Jing pulled out a chair and gentlemanly invited her to be seated.

Xinxin's face flushed red again. She looked down, fiddling with her napkin, her heartbeat accelerating. This man she had only known for a few days had already left an indelible mark in her heart.

Just as the waiter poured their first appetizer wine, a jarring voice broke the romantic atmosphere:

"Yo, isn't this Jiang Jing?"

Jiang Jing turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing by their table, holding a heavily made-up woman.

The man had his hair slicked back with grease, and a Rolex gleamed on his wrist. It was none other than Zhao Zhiming, the technical director from his former company.

"Director Zhao." Jiang Jing looked at the man in surprise, secretly cursing his bad luck in his heart.

Zhao Zhiming looked Jiang Jing up and down at his designer outfit, then looked at the stunningly beautiful Xinxin opposite him, a flash of jealousy crossing his eyes. "I heard you quit? What, found a new place?"

Zhao Zhiming didn't know how Jiang Jing, who was clearly a poor loser, was wearing designer clothes today, and had such a young and pretty girl by his side.

It must be rented! He's pretending to be a big spender to deceive an ignorant girl!

"Just taking a break for now." Jiang Jing didn't want to pay any attention to this kind of person, because the more he talked, the more excited the other party would get.
