41: Chapter 41 There are too many scammers these days, be careful!
"Yo, isn't this our 'haughty' Zhou Wenying?"
Zhou Wenying's body stiffened visibly, and she looked up—
Beside her was a young woman with heavy makeup, wearing a revealing dress, with an eye-catching necklace around her neck and carrying an Hermès bag in her hand.
She was clinging to a bald middle-aged man. The man was dressed in a suit, his Rolex gold watch gleaming on his wrist, but his murky eyes kept darting toward Zhou Wenying.
[Effective consumption target detected. Would you like to view information?]
Jiang Jing looked at the heavily made-up woman in front of him, not expecting her to actually score an 80?!
Curious, he silently thought about viewing the information in his mind...
Name: Liu Meng
Age: 20
Height: 161cm
Weight: 51kg
Overall Attractiveness: 80
Charging Count: 19
Favorability: -10 (Slightly Disgusted)
A beauty who barely reached the passing line, but her charging count is truly terrifying; she is a veteran who has been through many battles!
It's rare to have negative favorability upon the first meeting; this is the first time Jiang Jing has encountered it.
Too lazy to pay attention to these two guys, Jiang Jing continued to bury his head in his food.
"Liu Meng..." Zhou Wenying forced a smile, "What a coincidence."
Jiang Jing keenly noticed that Zhou Wenying's fingers were gripping the napkin tightly, her knuckles turning white. It seems this Liu Meng is her nemesis.
"And who is this?" Liu Meng looked Jiang Jing up and down, her gaze lingering on his handsome face for a moment.
"My friend, Jiang Jing." Zhou Wenying introduced him briefly.
"A friend?" Liu Meng drew out the tone meaningfully, "What kind of friend?"
The middle-aged man cleared his throat: "Meng Meng, not going to introduce us?"
"Oh, right!" Liu Meng immediately put on a sweet, cloying smile, "Honey, this is my college classmate Zhou Wenying, the belle of the Art Department!"
She turned back to Zhou Wenying, "This is my boyfriend, President Wang, the Vice President of Hongyuan Group."
President Wang puffed out his beer belly and extended his hand with a feigned gentlemanly manner: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Jiang Jing shook his hand indifferently.
President Wang's gaze remained glued to Zhou Wenying, his intentions written all over his face, making Jiang Jing sneer inwardly.
"Meeting is fate, why don't we join together?" President Wang suddenly suggested, his eyes fixed only on Zhou Wenying.
The smile on Liu Meng's face stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to its sweet, cloying state: "Yeah, yeah, let's join! It's more lively with more people!"
She said this with her mouth, but in her heart, she wished she could immediately drag the bald man away—this old lecher couldn't move his legs the moment he saw Zhou Wenying!
Jiang Jing noticed the unwillingness and anger flashing in Liu Meng's eyes. Feeling a bit bored, he really wanted to see what kind of medicine these two were selling in their gourd.
So he nodded: "Please, go ahead."
The waiter quickly added two chairs.
"Miss Zhou, right? Your name really suits you, quiet and beautiful! Even more outstanding than what Meng Meng described!"
"Miss Zhou, do you study art?" As soon as President Wang opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol and bad breath wafted over, "I admire you girls with artistic cells the most!"
Zhou Wenying frowned and leaned back slightly: "Thank you..."
"President Wang's company is currently preparing an art foundation!" Liu Meng interjected, trying to divert President Wang's attention, "Right, honey?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" President Wang patted his forehead, as if he had just remembered, "We are preparing to sponsor a group of young artists, with 500,000 in funding per person per year..."
He looked at Zhou Wenying meaningfully, "Is Miss Zhou interested?"
Liu Meng rolled her eyes in her heart—what kind of art foundation, it was just a pretext President Wang made up to pick up girls!
This old lecher, it was fine if he played around with little models and internet celebrities usually, but now he was actually hitting on her nemesis right in front of her!
"I'm not interested in the art foundation." Zhou Wenying politely declined.
"School is good! Students are simple!" President Wang laughed, the fat on his face trembling, "I just like interacting with students to broaden my horizons!"
Jiang Jing gently put down his chopsticks: "President Wang is so interested in art?"
President Wang finally turned his gaze to Jiang Jing, a flash of impatience in his eyes: "I know a thing or two. What do you do, Little Jiang?"
"Unemployed drifter, just doing some investing." Jiang Jing said indifferently.
"Investing?" President Wang sneered, "Young people nowadays talk about being investors at the drop of a hat, but aren't they actually just shell companies?"
Liu Meng immediately chimed in: "Exactly! There are so many scammers nowadays!"
She glanced at Jiang Jing pointedly: "Some people rent a luxury car, buy some fake designer brands, and dare to pose as rich men to scam young girls!"
Zhou Wenying's expression changed: "Liu Meng! What do you mean by that?"
"Oh my, I was just saying it casually!" Liu Meng fake-smiled, "I didn't say your boyfriend is a scammer..."
President Wang took the opportunity to try to pat the back of Zhou Wenying's hand, but Zhou Wenying quickly dodged, her expression beginning to turn ugly—she could barely stop herself from wanting to slap this guy twice.
Seeing he didn't succeed, he acted as if nothing had happened: "A beauty like Miss Zhou must keep her eyes open! If you encounter any difficulties, you can find me anytime..."
He pulled out a gold-stamped business card and placed it in front of Zhou Wenying, "I'm available 24 hours a day!"
Seeing this, Liu Meng was so angry her lungs were about to explode—that bitch Zhou Wenying!
Relying on her bit of looks, she goes around seducing men!
Now she even wants to steal her sugar daddy!
(Zhou Wenying: ???!!!)
For the sake of next month's Hermès bag and credit card limit, she didn't dare to blow up on the spot and could only force a smile.
"Honey, didn't you say you were going to buy me that Cartier necklace?" Liu Meng held onto President Wang's arm and acted coquettishly, "Shall we go take a look now?"
President Wang impatiently shook her off: "What's the rush? I'm having a great time chatting with Miss Zhou!"
He turned to Zhou Wenying, revealing a smile he thought was charming, "What does Miss Zhou usually like? Shopping? Traveling? I have a villa in Hainan, you are welcome to visit anytime!"
Liu Meng's face turned very ugly. She had begged President Wang for half a year to go to that villa and couldn't, yet now he was actively inviting Zhou Wenying?
This old lecher!
