198: Chapter 198 Sister Meiting is too direct!

The waiter took the menu and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, you three, please wait a moment."

After speaking, he turned and left.

The air in the private booth instantly fell silent, and a subtle sense of tension spread between the three of them.

Jin Meiting was the first to break the silence, getting straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

Her tone was calm, without a hint of arrogance, as if she were merely stating an established fact.

"Mr. Jiang, to be blunt, with my resume, being a secretary or even a professional manager for a milk tea shop with only one location is a bit of a waste of my talents."

These words were blunt, leaving no room for pleasantries.

Beside her, Li Shuya instantly tensed up, her grip on her phone tightening. Her round eyes darted back and forth between Jiang Feng and Jin Meiting, her heart in her throat.

Today, she wore a cream-colored doll dress that accentuated her figure. The puffy hem made her waist look incredibly slender, and her exposed calves were thin and straight.

Right now, she was so nervous that she pressed her legs slightly together. A faint pink flush rose to her cheeks, and she even slowed her breathing.

Oh no, oh no! Sister Meiting is being way too direct! What if she makes the handsome guy angry?

Best friend or handsome guy? How do I choose?!

As it turned out, the expression on Jiang Feng's face didn't change at all.

He leaned back against the chair, his expression calm and devoid of any ripples. He waited until the waiter had served the drinks and placed them in front of each person before picking up his coffee cup, taking a sip, and slowly setting it down. Only then did he speak, his voice remaining perfectly steady:

"Quite so."

Just those two words left Jin Meiting stunned, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.

She had anticipated countless reactions from Jiang Feng—anger, excuses, flattery, or grand, empty promises.

The only thing she hadn't expected was for him to admit it so readily, without even a hint of an attempt to argue.

Her hand holding the coffee cup paused slightly. A flicker of nearly imperceptible surprise flashed in her cool eyes.

Her well-tailored black suit skirt tightly hugged her graceful figure.

Her upright posture perfectly outlined the curves of her waist and hips.

It was an outfit that was incredibly conservative, yet it somehow exuded a mature allure that made it impossible to look away.

Jiang Feng took in every subtle change in her expression. The corners of his mouth curled slightly as he continued:

"But since Ms. Jin came today, I assume you have your own reasons."

Jin Meiting fell silent.

Her hand gently rubbed the cold wall of the coffee cup. After a few seconds, she spoke again, her tone still cool and distant:

"It was an arrangement by my family. My grandfather wanted me to come and meet you."

The power of the System?

Jiang Feng nodded, showing no surprise, as if he had expected this all along.

"Then can I interpret that as Ms. Jin having no confidence in me, in my milk tea shop, or in my future plans?"

Jin Meiting looked up and met his gaze without any avoidance, speaking decisively:

"You could say that."

Four words, spoken with conviction.

She leaned forward slightly, and the collar of her suit jacket opened just a bit, revealing her pale, delicate collarbones. Her cool eyes held an undisguised sharpness.

Yet, this extremely assertive demeanor, combined with her full figure and the curves of her waist and hips tightly wrapped in the skirt, created a maximum sense of contrast.

That cold yet alluring charm practically drilled itself into one's eyes.

Beside them, Li Shuya didn't even dare to breathe; her heart was practically jumping out of her throat.

Oh my god!

This atmosphere is way too subtle!

Sister Meiting isn't giving the handsome guy any way out at all!

How can the conversation even continue?

Jin Meiting, pay attention! Don't scare the handsome guy away!!

She looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes sparkling, the pink on her cheeks deepening.

Even after being snapped at like that, the handsome guy is still so calm and handsome!
