Chapter 262: Just add my contact information, I don't care about the rest.

Jiang Jing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and teased, "Alright, alright, look at all those wrinkles on your face; aren't you ashamed?"

Staff Officer Zhang's old face flushed red at Jiang Jing's words, but seeing that Jiang Jing's tone had softened and he didn't seem to be directly refusing,

he threw caution to the wind and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "So, does that mean you agree, brother?"

"I haven't agreed to anything!" Jiang Jing waved his hand immediately.

"You're making it sound like I'm about to go on a blind date. I haven't even met the person, and I don't know if our personalities are compatible, so what am I supposed to be agreeing to?"

"No need to agree, no need to agree."

"The main thing is just to have you two add each other on contact, chat a little bit."

"Whether it works out or not depends on fate; I'm absolutely not forcing it. My task is just to pass on the message and play matchmaker; after that, I'm out of it!"

Jiang Jing thought about it; it was just adding a WeChat, nothing big.

He wanted to see just what kind of person this Eldest Miss of the Liu family was, the one Staff Officer Zhang had praised as a "celestial beauty" with impossibly high standards.

"Fine, adding a contact is simple." Jiang Jing took out his phone. "Is the number still on wechat?"

"WeChat, WeChat is convenient." Staff Officer Zhang gave him Liu Ruyan's WeChat ID.

Jiang Jing operated his phone and sent a friend request.

In a short while, the request was accepted.

"Done!"

Staff Officer Zhang let out a sigh of relief, a look of relief appearing on his face: "OK, done. Now my mission is complete."

He picked up the now lukewarm tea, downed it in one gulp, stood up, and said: "Then I won't disturb your enjoyment of life. I have a pile of things to do on my end, so I'll be going."

Jiang Jing also stood up and smiled as he saw him off: "It's been hard on you, having to come all the way here to play matchmaker."

Staff Officer Zhang rolled his eyes at Jiang Jing irritably: "Don't play coy after getting a good deal, kid. You have no idea, these days, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and strode away.

Jiang Jing watched Staff Officer Zhang's retreating figure, then looked down at the newly added friend, a playful smile curling on his lips.

The Eldest Miss of the Imperial Capital's Liu family?

Interesting.

This peaceful life seemed to be about to have some new ripples.

...

Imperial Capital, inside Liu Ruyan's boudoir.

Liu Ruyan held her phone; the screen showed the interface of the friend request that had just been accepted. The name noted as "Jiang Jing" made her heart inexplicably race a little faster.

She carefully selected a selfie from an angle that looked casual yet highlighted her temperament as her profile picture.

She also repeatedly checked her Moments, ensuring every photo was flawless.

Only then did she put down her phone, a hint of smugness and anticipation in her heart.

"Hmph, now that he's added this young lady, he should take the initiative to say hello, right?" Liu Ruyan thought to herself, putting on the airs of a wealthy young lady, deciding to reservedly wait for Jiang Jing to speak first.

One minute, two minutes... ten minutes passed... the phone was silent.

Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still anymore; she picked up her phone from time to time to see if she had missed a notification sound.

"Maybe he's busy? A boss of his level who is also a scientist must have a very full schedule; maybe he's in an important meeting."

Liu Ruyan began subconsciously finding excuses for Jiang Jing, comforting herself.

Half an hour, an hour... still like a stone sinking into the sea.

Liu Ruyan went from initial anticipation to becoming somewhat anxious, even feeling a little bit of dissatisfaction.

What is wrong with this Jiang Jing!

He added on wechat and didn't even say anything?

He really doesn't take this young lady seriously at all!

Little did she know, the Jiang Jing she was obsessing over was indeed very "busy" at the moment.

He was in the home theater with Li Xue, Xinxin, and the others, watching a comedy, laughing his head off.

A while later, he ran to the Gym, under the guise of "asking for advice" on combat techniques from Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong.

In reality, he was just going there to show off and crush the two women.

Occasionally, he also had to deal with Su Xiaoxiao's curious questions or tease Lee Ji-yeon, who was always quietly staying in the corner.

His "busy" was something Liu Ruyan couldn't even imagine...

Seeing that most of the day had passed and the WeChat chat box still only contained the system-generated greeting prompt, Liu Ruyan's pitiful bit of reserve was finally exhausted.

She bit her red lip, thinking: Forget it, I'll just be magnanimous and take the initiative!

So, she took a deep breath, edited a message with her finger, and clicked send:

[Liu Ruyan]: Hello, Mr. Jiang, I am Liu Ruyan. Uncle Zhang should have mentioned me to you, right? [Cute emoji]

At this moment, Jiang Jing had just finished frolicking with several beauties in the heated pool, walked out wrapped in a bathrobe, and picked up the phone placed on the lounge chair, only then seeing the message sent by Liu Ruyan.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this Eldest Miss."

Jiang Jing patted his forehead, a smile curling on his lips, "Looks like she couldn't wait."

He replied lazily while wiping his hair with a towel:

[Jiang Jing]: Hello, Miss Liu. Brother Zhang did mention you. Sorry, I just saw it; I was tinkering with some little gadgets in the Laboratory just now. [Smile]

Good grief, one says Uncle Zhang, the other says Brother Zhang; Jiang Jing's seniority suddenly shot up...

The message was replied to almost instantly after being sent:

[Liu Ruyan]: It's okay, your important work comes first. I've long heard that you are a scientific genius; you really can't stay idle for even a moment!

Jiang Jing's inner thoughts: Important work? Hmm... is swimming and exercising with beauties considered important work too?

[Jiang Jing]: I wouldn't dare call myself a genius, I just like to tinker around. Miss Liu, you flatter me. I heard from Staff Officer Zhang that Miss Liu is talented and beautiful, a recognized goddess-level figure in the Imperial Capital.

[Liu Ruyan]: [Shy emoji] No way... that's just what others say randomly. Mr. Jiang, you are the real man of the hour; you've even been on cctv news. My friends around me are all discussing you right now!

[Jiang Jing]: Just empty fame. It can't compare to Miss Liu living so authentically and freely. I looked at your Moments; you really like art and travel?

Jiang Jing casually clicked on her Moments and scanned a few times; they were all high-quality photos of exhibitions, skiing, and island vacations, with very particular composition and filters.

[Liu Ruyan]: Yes, when I have nothing to do, I like to see art exhibitions, listen to concerts, and occasionally go out for a walk. Is Mr. Jiang also interested in art?

Jiang Jing thought, I don't know jack about that. I only know that art is something only people who are well-fed and have nothing to do like to tinker with.

Who struggling at the subsistence level would care about these things...

[Jiang Jing]: I know a little bit.

Afterwards, Jiang Jing started rambling on and on. As for art, Jiang Jing could easily spout off things that sounded very high-class but were actually just like that.

Liu Ruyan was instantly struck by her excitement point, feeling like she had met a soulmate.

Jiang Jing, relying on his freakish brain and master-level eloquence, controlled this remote chat to be incredibly interesting.

Liu Ruyan, on the other side of the screen, was teased into covering her mouth and giggling from time to time, feeling very happy.

She just felt that Jiang Jing was completely different from all the men she had contacted before, not at all like those in her impressions.

Either pretending to be profound or fawning and flattering.

Jiang Jing was simply extremely interesting, and his charm value in her heart was skyrocketing.

In the living room, Li Xue and the other women watched Jiang Jing eating fruit while his fingers typed rapidly on his phone, with that familiar, slightly mischievous smile on his face, and they knew he was definitely flirting with a girl again.
