Chapter 349: I come from the Shanghai American Association

Zheng Qian was completely taken aback.

He instinctively embraced the girl, catching a whiff of fragrant scent. Before he could even see who it was, his lips were sealed by a pair of soft ones, leaving him absolutely no room to think.

After a long while, they parted.

"Song... Song Yaxian?"

Zheng Qian swallowed hard, looking at the girl before him with a strange expression.

She held onto Zheng Qian as if on the verge of tears, saying resentfully, "It hasn't been long, and you've already added two more girls by your side. Are you really that unfaithful? What happened between us in Jiangnan..."

Song Yaxian went completely limp against Zheng Qian.

Her softness left him not knowing how to respond.

"I'm sorry..."

"Ah... you... why do you have a reaction..."

Zheng Qian actually had unspeakable difficulties.

With such a beautiful girl rubbing against him, anyone would have a reaction.

Song Yaxian's pretty face flushed crimson. She glared at him fiercely, quickly jumped off Zheng Qian's lap, and said with feigned anger, "Hmph, acting like a hooligan in the office. Just wait until I tell the other colleagues and warn them to be careful too!"

"Alright, alright, I just missed you too much and thought you had forgotten about me."

"Anyway, it's not like I just met you today. I... I will give you time to handle things... Just don't forget about me..."

As she spoke, she gently kissed Zheng Qian once, then fled the office as if escaping.

This little girl really was getting bolder and bolder.

But then again, Zheng Qian also knew that there were more and more women around him.

This kind of relationship...

He really needed to find an opportunity to sort it all out.

[Beep—Beep—]

His phone rang; it was a WeChat message from Jin Lu.

"Oh no, I almost forgot about this."

Putting aside his work, Zheng Qian hurried towards the underground parking lot. After a moment of hesitation, he still chose that Mercedes-Benz.

Today, Jin Lu's university teacher from Shanghu was visiting; she was a professor of Business Administration. Jin Lu was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam and intended to enroll under this teacher. Knowing she was arriving today, they planned to receive her together.

He quickly notified Xia Xixi to arrange a hotel, then hurried to pick up Jin Lu, and they headed to the airport together.

"Looking at how busy you've been lately, you seem to have lost weight." Jin Lu sat in the passenger seat, looking at Zheng Qian with heartache.

"Eh, it's mainly because I've been busy with company matters, and a new project just opened in Subei." Zheng Qian had a guilty conscience, as he hadn't spent little time getting intimate with Cui Ziqing over the past two days, so he quickly said, "Didn't I tell you before about the coffee shop merger? It's already settled. Just as you said, it's called Shuyuan Coffee and has been incorporated into the Shumile Group..."

Although Jin Lu roughly knew about these things, when she saw that Zheng Qian had actually implemented them all, she still felt a bit dazed.

"So that means... I am now the Chairperson of the Shumile Group?" Jin Lu's eyes looked a bit strange.

"That's right. I've already thought it through. The Group has coffee brands, liquor brands, and a MIX bar under its umbrella. I've brought in Cui Ziqing from the Cui Family to serve as the President to help you with operations and management, so you won't be too busy." Zheng Qian smiled and patted Jin Lu's head.

She shook her head with a wry smile, "Running a coffee shop is fine, but managing such a large Group, I'm worried..."

"What is there to worry about? There are so many professional managers in society; isn't that what they do? Besides, aren't you preparing for the postgraduate exam? If you go to Shanghu, maybe you can even help me. My next focus is Shanghu."

Jin Lu nodded noncommittally.

Her eyes flickered slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After arriving at the airport, they waited and waited, finally waiting for the plane to land. Seeing her teacher walk out of the passage, Jin Lu waved her hand in surprise and delight.

"Teacher Xiao has always been very helpful to me. At the time, knowing my family situation, she specifically gave me a lot of help with my major courses. If it weren't for her back then, I might not have been able to graduate." Jin Lu said excitedly.

Suddenly she frowned, "Hmm? Why is he here too?"

She saw a tall, thin young man following behind Teacher Xiao. He was handsome and wore a high-end suit. His face always carried a cynical smile; he looked like a wealthy playboy at a glance.

"Jin Lu, why did you come all the way to pick up your teacher? I'm just here in Yebai to take care of some business." Teacher Xiao was also very happy to see Jin Lu. She was a woman with a very kind appearance.

"Junior sister, long time no see, I've missed you dearly. You've become even more beautiful." The young man walked straight over, not even glancing at Zheng Qian, and immediately went to Jin Lu to shake her hand.

She unobtrusively dodged the young man's hand and smiled as she hooked her arm through Zheng Qian's, "Teacher Xiao, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian, this is Teacher Xiao, who took care of me back then."

"Hello, Teacher Xiao. Thank you for taking care of her." Zheng Qian greeted her very politely.

"Fiancé?"

A flash of sharpness crossed the young man's eyes.

Then he put on a completely normal smile again and said reproachfully, "Junior sister, why didn't you introduce me? I heard Teacher Xiao was coming to Yebai this time, so I specifically came over to help."

Zheng Qian noticed that the way he looked at Jin Lu was very strange. Could it be... was there a story in the past?

"Hello, my name is Li Zijian, from Shanghu, the Shanghai Americas Club."

He nodded slightly, looking coldly at Zheng Qian, "Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself: I am her ex-boyfriend."

Ex-boyfriend? The Shanghai Americas Club?

Zheng Qian raised an eyebrow slightly. Oh ho, if you're going to put it that way, this is going to get interesting.

Teacher Xiao's expression was a bit unpleasant, and she explained, "She already has a fiancé now, why are you bringing this up? Sigh, I'm sorry, Jin Lu. He is now my graduate student, and he came this time for a research project."

"It's okay, Teacher Xiao."

Zheng Qian smiled and pulled Jin Lu into his arms, "I don't care about the past, as long as I can be with Jin Lu in the future, that's all that matters. By the way, Teacher Xiao, I have prepared a place for you to rest. Follow me."

Li Zijian did not expect Zheng Qian's reaction to be so calm. His eyes trembled slightly, flashing with a hint of malice.

"Thank you... honey..." Jin Lu said quietly, blushing.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"He... he is actually not my ex-boyfriend. He just pursued me, but I didn't agree."

"Little fool, what's there to explain about that?"

"Honey, you're so good..."

Watching the two of them being all sweet and loving made Li Zijian burn with rage.

They arrived at the parking lot. Just as Zheng Qian opened the car door, Li Zijian frowned and made a tsk-tsk-tsk sound.

"Jin Lu, it's not that I want to lecture you, but is this your taste in fiancés? Driving a crappy Mercedes-Benz to pick up a teacher? Oh, well. In a crappy little place like Yebai, you probably think a Mercedes-Benz or BMW is a luxury car, right? Heh."

Li Zijian shook his head and said with a smile, "Teacher Xiao, I'm sorry you have to lower yourself. When we get back to Shanghu, I will arrange something better for you."
