Chapter 294: 100% Trust

Jiang Yanran had rejected countless people in her life.

Some people didn't even get the chance to be rejected.

After these few days of interaction, Jiang Yanran realized that her previous understanding of Zheng Qian was still too shallow.

Even now, Jiang Yanran felt that what she had seen was merely the tip of the iceberg of Zheng Qian's strength.

However, she had clearly seen through Zheng Qian as a person.

He was a decent person.

He didn't hold grudges.

He was broad-minded.

Previously, she had some friction with Zheng Qian, and the misunderstandings were a bit deep.

Under those circumstances, Zheng Qian still unhesitatingly helped her advance the funds.

Furthermore, he dominated the auction on the white knight.

Until now, the two of them hadn't signed any legal documents in black and white.

It has been said since ancient times that even brothers should keep clear accounts.

By doing this, Zheng Qian gave her 100% trust.

"Why would you ask that?"

"Is it that simple and crude?"

Zheng Qian almost spat out the wine in his mouth.

Was Jiang Yanran hinting for him to confess?

Should his next sentence be, "Then let's be together."

"If you're asking about this..."

"It would be a lie to say I have no thoughts."

"But that's all they are—just thoughts."

"Also!"

"Didn't you say I'm always flirting around?"

"With so many women, aren't you afraid that I'll hide beauties in a golden house and have several girlfriends at the same time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yanran snorted coldly.

"I will keep you in check!"

She wasn't afraid of Zheng Qian having so many girlfriends at once.

In Jiang Yanran's eyes, there was a compelling sense of confidence.

If the two of them really started dating, she believed Zheng Qian would slowly restrain himself.

A woman as outstanding as her simply didn't take those other women seriously.

What could those girls compare with her?

Education?

Background?

Family status?

Temperament?

Or appearance?

With her qualifications, she was an extremely scarce resource in society.

All kinds of young masters, second-generation rich kids, and people with family backgrounds were fighting over her, okay?

Zheng Qian: "..."

He didn't even know what to say.

How could Jiang Yanran be so confident!

It wouldn't be appropriate to call her an average, overconfident woman.

Because she was indeed very outstanding.

It was just that Zheng Qian felt Jiang Yanran was overconfident.

Before, Jiang Yanran was someone he couldn't reach.

But now, Zheng Qian had plenty of options.

What kind of woman couldn't he find?

"Actually, I don't have those kinds of intentions toward you."

Zheng Qian's subtext was, I just lust after your body.

As for being boyfriend and girlfriend, let's forget it.

Zheng Qian still had someone in Yezhou!

Recently he added Song Yaxian, and this woman was also a jealous type.

If they found out, it would be a miracle if they didn't hack him to pieces and castrate him!

After hearing this, Jiang Yanran was filled with doubts.

No intentions in that regard?

Does that mean dating?

If there's no interest, what is Zheng Qian doing all this for?

Jiang Yanran couldn't find the point.

Seeing the confusion on Jiang Yanran's face.

At the same time, her Favorability toward Zheng Qian dropped by 10 points.

Zheng Qian actually wanted to say, I'm just using you as a tool to farm the system for cash back.

He could think that.

But he couldn't say it like that.

Zheng Qian changed his line.

"You are so outstanding that I feel like I'm not a good match for you!"

The meaning of Zheng Qian's words was very clear.

"Aren't you also very outstanding? How are we not a good match?"

Jiang Yanran was getting a bit angry.

Seeing that she was still unrelenting, Zheng Qian decided to make her give up.

Business cooperation is fine.

Dating is off the table!

"Actually, I don't really like long-distance relationships. What's the point of a long-distance relationship?"

"You're in Jiangnan, I'm in Yezhou, and we're both busy with our own things. Who knows when we'll even get to meet."

"At most, we'd just make video calls, and problems would arise sooner or later."

"Not to mention it's a waste of time, it would be troublesome if it affected our careers."

Zheng Qian shook his head, putting on an expression of sadness and regret.

Jiang Yanran was confused.

Only then did she understand what Zheng Qian meant.

Was this a polite rejection?

Anyone with a brain could have understood what she meant just now.

If Zheng Qian had confessed, she would have agreed.

Before coming here, Jiang Yanran had anticipated all sorts of possibilities.

She just didn't expect Zheng Qian to reject her.

What, was she not good enough?

Jiang Yanran's suitors could line up from Jiangnan all the way to Jiangbei.

Many people didn't even get the chance to confess or even be rejected by her.

Zheng Qian had actually turned her down politely without even thinking about it?

He wasn't even willing to try, just because he thought it wouldn't lead to anything and would affect his career?

Is starting a family more important or is a career more important?

He's already this successful, and he still wants to pursue his career?

Are you kidding me!

It was clearly just an excuse made up on the spot!

Jiang Yanran was so angry she even wanted to curse.

So angry, so angry, so angry!

"I still have to go sign two documents."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Yanran sat back with her arms crossed and legs crossed, the chill gathering on her face sharper than a sword.

"If you leave, don't ever see me again!"

"If you have anything to say, have your secretary convey it!"

Jiang Yanran laid down a harsh ultimatum.

She had expected Zheng Qian to soften his stance and stay to talk properly with her.

But she didn't expect him to just grab his jacket from the chair and leave directly.

"He... he really left?"

...

A coffee shop in Jiangnan.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi stood at the entrance, holding two folders, patiently waiting for Zheng Qian.

The Maritime Management Bureau had suddenly changed its regulations, so Zheng Qian needed to sign two additional documents.

Her leader said they had an appointment with Zheng Qian at 11 o'clock.

She didn't expect it to be 11 PM!

Is he that busy, only having time at 11 o'clock?

Complaining was just complaining.

Before going out, Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi had still dressed up carefully.

She didn't want to be told she wasn't pretty enough when she saw Zheng Qian!

No one talks to a girl like that.

That's so mean!

Her thoughts were in a mess, and she didn't notice at all that passersby on the street were turning their heads to look at her repeatedly.

"That young lady over there is so good-looking!"

"I'll WeChat you 50, can you go up and help me get her contact information?"

"Forget it, I wouldn't go even if you gave me 100. Wouldn't that just be asking for rejection?"

"She might have a boyfriend, better not go hit on her, lest you get scolded."

The passersby who saw Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi were whispering and discussing.

The two most common questions were about Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi's looks and figure.

And whether she had a boyfriend.

"It's already 11:30, why isn't he here yet?"

[Favorability: 30 points]

"Hello there, miss, can we get to know each other?"

A trendy-looking young man walked over to hit on Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi.

He was wearing a red CLOT T-shirt on his upper body, Stone Island khaki shorts on his lower body, and a pair of white Louis Vuitton casual shoes with a hint of green embellishment on his feet.

The man had ear piercings, a platinum necklace around his neck, and a Chrome Hearts ring on his index finger.

He was covered from head to toe in the word "trendy."

Looking up further.

He had white foundation on his cheeks, his eyebrows were neatly groomed, he used highlighter to contour a high-bridged nose, earthy tones for eye makeup, and he even added aegyo-sal.

From head to toe, there were no flaws to be found.

Any photo taken of him could be an influencer profile picture.

Boys like this could go to bars or clubs and easily have girls throwing themselves at him to sleep with him.

"Damn, a handsome guy!"

"Sure enough, beauties all look for handsome guys as boyfriends."

This young man's name was Kong Yi, the widely circulated "jzh" boy on the internet, a fashion-chasing dog.

Relying on exquisite makeup techniques and a full outfit of fake designer brands, he didn't know how many girls he had slept with.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi, standing alone on the roadside, became Kong Yi's prey.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi lifted her eyelids.

After seeing Kong Yi, she instinctively felt a sense of revulsion.

"I'm not interested in getting to know you." Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi retorted directly.

"Oh come on, there's no harm in getting to know each other. Let's add each other on WeChat."

"Are you going to scan me or am I going to scan you?"

Kong Yi was very knowledgeable about the art of hitting on women.

Guys like Xiao Xinhao used outdated tactics.

The most important point was not to fear rejection.

You have to be thick-skinned.

Kong Yi had hit on countless girls like Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi before.

As long as he could get her WeChat, he had ten thousand ways to get Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi into his bed.

"I already said I won't add you, why are you like this!"

"I'm waiting for someone, please leave!"

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi said angrily but without losing her manners.

She felt sick whenever she saw such greasy men.

Damn it, a grown man wearing eye makeup.

Wearing eye makeup is one thing, but wearing that kind of glittery, sparkly eye makeup.

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi felt nauseous and wanted to vomit just looking at it.

"Miss, just add me."

"Who are you waiting for? Your boyfriend?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Miss, you're so beautiful and have such a great figure, does your boyfriend let you wait this long?"

Kong Yi lifted his wrist, deliberately showing off his high-imitation Rolex Green Submariner.

This watch cost him a full 3,000 yuan.

"It's already past 11 PM, how long have you been waiting here?"

"This man really isn't much."

"I'm very considerate toward girls, don't you want to try getting to know me, miss?"

Vroom vroom~

The deafening sound of a sports car engine echoed in her ears, and the entire street was filled with the roar of this beast.

A dark gray Lamborghini Veneno K slowly pulled up beside Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi.
