Chapter 337: Take them all away?

"Who is she?"

"Who is she?"

The two women asked in unison. Although they both wore smiles, as women, they could clearly sense each other's hostility, and they looked at each other as total strangers.

But soon, Cui Ziqing frowned slightly, feeling as if she had seen her somewhere before.

"Oh, let me introduce you two." Zheng Qian sensed the undercurrents and felt somewhat awkward, so he quickly said with a smile, "This is my business partner, Cui Ziqing. And this one, haha, she has really become a big star now, her name is Yin Yanyan, currently filming in Subei. This movie is packed with big names!"

Yin Yanyan?

Cui Ziqing quickly remembered who she was.

She knew she had debuted in Hong Kong years ago and was very popular at the time, but for some reason, she was suddenly shelved.

It wasn't until recently that she started frequently appearing everywhere.

She endorsed many advertisements and appeared on several variety shows.

Looking at her up close now, she seemed even better-looking than she had imagined, perhaps even perfect.

And Zheng Qian's introduction was quite intriguing.

Calling Cui Ziqing a business partner and Yin Yanyan a big star. Both felt a bit distant, yet at the same time, when heard by either party, it felt as though the other was closer to him.

"Hello." "Hello."

The two women exchanged polite, smiling pleasantries.

But the gazes they exchanged had already begun a fierce confrontation.

"So you're Young Master Zheng's business partner, which means you're colleagues, right?"

After a moment of stalemate, Yin Yanyan took the initiative, smiling broadly, "Oh my, if I had known Young Master Zheng was bringing a colleague, I would have prepared more. Really, why didn't you tell me?"

"Well... we decided on this at the last minute..."

"That's still too hasty. I booked this place a long time ago knowing you were coming to see me, really..."

Cui Ziqing sneered inwardly.

This woman is definitely a pro!

In just a few words, she had shortened the distance between herself and Zheng Qian.

At the same time, she subtly pointed out that she had long known he was coming to see her, making it seem very intimate.

"Hehe, you can't call us colleagues; we are very good friends, too. Oh, look, Zheng Qian just took me shopping earlier and bought me this Hermès bag. Sigh, this is a display model, it wasn't originally for sale..."

Cui Ziqing smiled and pretended to fiddle with the bag beside her carelessly.

Girls understand this kind of social language best.

A display model, not for sale—that in itself was enough to show the value of this bag.

"Oh, really? How much was it? It's actually quite nice."

On the surface, Yin Yanyan was praising the bag, but her eyes remained fixed on Cui Ziqing's face, capturing her expression.

Cui Ziqing was not to be outdone, giving Zheng Qian a slightly reproachful look, "The original price was over a million, plus the matching items, it was over six million in total. Honestly, it's so expensive, yet he insisted on buying it for me..."

Yin Yanyan smiled and nodded. She really wanted to say that Zheng Qian had spent over ten billion to make her famous.

But she knew such a number was too shocking.

It wasn't appropriate to say it in this setting, so she just smiled politely.

Cui Ziqing didn't know about this, thinking she had unknowingly gained the upper hand, and the expression on her face became even more vivid.

Zheng Qian was now feeling a chill down his spine.

He looked at Cui Ziqing:

[Favorability - 10]

[Favorability + 5]

[Favorability - 10]

[Favorability + 5]

...

Then he looked at Yin Yanyan:

[Favorability + 5]

[Favorability - 5]

[Favorability + 5]

[Favorability - 5]

...

The Favorability of the two women fluctuated up and down. Although on the surface everything looked calm, from these changes in Favorability, one could see that there were actually undercurrents, as if they were engaged in a fierce confrontation with their eyes.

"Um... let's eat something first..."

Zheng Qian was terrified that these two would spark a fire and actually start fighting here.

Besides, he was really a bit hungry.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Look at me, I was just thinking about entertaining your colleague." Yin Yanyan quickly signaled the waiter to start serving food.

"Not a colleague, we are friends." Cui Ziqing couldn't help but say with a smile.

"The creamy truffle potato soup here is quite good..."

Yin Yanyan changed the subject, deliberately avoiding Cui Ziqing's remark.

Not to mention the secret war between the two women.

Zheng Qian felt even more puzzled.

Although their Favorability changed very frequently, it... actually maintained a balance!

It kept increasing and decreasing, but in the end, it would always fall back to this number.

Both of them were at 75.

While they were eating, the waiter brought over a bottle of red wine.

Moonlight Ship.

Zheng Qian had heard of this red wine; not only was it expensive, but it also had a high alcohol content. Most men would get tipsy after drinking it, not to mention these two girls.

However...

Well, in a sense, them getting themselves drunk would save him a lot of trouble.

But... having said that, he couldn't exactly take them both down at the same time, right? That would be too much of a scumbag move.

Thinking of this, he quickly waved his hand, "Yanyan, you still have to film tomorrow, right? This counts as a strong liquor. If you miss the shooting schedule tomorrow, I'm afraid it'll be a big problem."

"Oh my, Young Master Zheng, don't you know my capacity? This little bit of wine is nothing!"

"Exactly, we're having a great time right now, you shouldn't stop us!"

Cui Ziqing was also getting tipsy. The two of them had clashed several times, and she hadn't been able to gain the upper hand, so she had already started thinking about challenging her to a drinking contest. Besides, she was also curious: if she and Yin Yanyan both got drunk, who would Zheng Qian take care of?

Zheng Qian could only sit there awkwardly.

Even when he wanted to interject, it seemed they had no intention of chatting with him.

They went from talking about hair to manicures, and from how good Zheng Qian was to them, to hinting that the other was already Zheng Qian's person...

In short, hearing it made him break out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly regretted the decision to bring them together immensely.

"Ouch... I think I'm a little drunk..."

"Emmm... me too..."

Thump! Thump!

Seeing that she couldn't get the better of Cui Ziqing, and that they had reached the white-hot stage of the battle, Yin Yanyan realized that they wouldn't be able to determine a winner this way, so she immediately came up with a plan.

She immediately pretended to be drunk, her beautiful body swaying slightly.

Cui Ziqing was even more perceptive; she knew exactly what Yin Yanyan was thinking.

She immediately slumped onto the table, pretending to be asleep.

This made things a bit difficult for Zheng Qian.

Were they...

Really drunk, or were they pretending?

Hmm...

Should he take them both to a room?
