"Zhiyi is a bit busy, she’ll be right back. Please wait here for a moment."
Feng Xile’s voice interrupted Lin Jiang’s thoughts.
She led a long-haired woman in her thirties to the lounge area. Judging by her demeanor, she was likely here to buy a car.
"Okay."
The long-haired woman sat down and inadvertently saw Lin Jiang sitting diagonally across from her. She was immediately struck by his stunning looks.
But as a married woman, she did her best to remain composed. She couldn’t just get carried away at the sight of a handsome young man.
After settling Li Zhiyi’s client, Feng Xile looked at Lin Jiang.
"You’re such a dedicated boyfriend, coming here to support her every month. You’re just trying to make us jealous, aren’t you?"
"I’ll come buy from you next month. It’s not like she’s hurting for this little bit of commission," Lin Jiang said with a smile.
"Oh no, I could never do something like that," Feng Xile said. "I’ve got other things to do, so I can’t stay and chat."
"Okay, go on."
"Wait a second," the long-haired woman called out to Feng Xile. "I’m in a bit of a hurry. How about you help me instead? We can talk about the specific price and how much of a discount I can get."
"I’m afraid I can’t do that. We have rules against randomly taking other people’s clients. I’m sorry."
"Alright, then."
Feng Xile left. Lin Jiang went back to his phone, while the long-haired woman glanced at him from time to time.
"Are you Zhiyi’s boyfriend?"
"I am. Why?"
"Could you give her a call? Ask her to come back quickly. I’m on a tight schedule."
"Sure."
Lin Jiang took out his phone and called Li Zhiyi, but she didn’t pick up.
"She’s busy right now, probably can’t check her phone," Lin Jiang said. "What car are you looking to buy?"
"An E300L."
"Financing or paying in full?"
"Financing."
"How’s your flow?"
"Huh? Does that have to do with buying a car?" The woman tucked her hair back awkwardly.
"Of course it does," Lin Jiang said matter-of-factly.
"It’s... quite a lot..." the woman said, pressing her legs together and looking down.
"Can you be more specific? I’m not sure what you mean by ’quite a lot’."
"Well..."
The woman looked down and tucked her hair back again. "We have to change the sheets every time."
Lin Jiang: ???
’You haven’t even bought a car yet, and you’re already talking dirty?’
"I was asking about your bank statements."
"Oh, bank statements." The woman gave an embarrassed laugh. "My monthly salary is over fifty thousand. I have them all printed out."
"Then there shouldn’t be a problem. You can get an even better discount if you finance."
"Okay, thank you."
Even though Lin Jiang hadn’t said much, the long-haired woman was still very polite.
If he’d been ugly, he probably wouldn’t have gotten this kind of treatment. She might not have even spoken to him at all.
Soon, Li Zhiyi returned.
"You have a client. Talk to her first, I’m not in a hurry."
"Mhm."
Li Zhiyi handed the contract to Lin Jiang. "Brother, take a look. If there are no issues, just sign it. I’ll explain the details later."
"Alright."
Lin Jiang looked at the contract but didn’t sign it.
’I’ll use the NPC Special Training Fund to buy these cars. That way, I won’t have to spend my own money.’
’Otherwise, the special fund will just keep growing, and I’ll never be able to launder it all.’
About twenty minutes later, the two finished their conversation. Li Zhiyi saw the client out and returned to Lin Jiang’s side.
"Brother, you must have been anxious waiting."
"I wasn’t," Lin Jiang said.
"You sign it. These cars will be registered under your name."
"Huh?!"
Li Zhiyi looked at Lin Jiang in surprise.
"Brother, that’s... that’s not really appropriate, is it?"
"What’s not appropriate about it? Just sign."
"I understand."
Li Zhiyi was once again moved beyond words, making her feel that she held a significant place in Lin Jiang’s heart.
[You have gained the favor of NPC Li Zhiyi. Affinity +10]
[Affinity: 150]
[Reward: 1,000,000 NPC Special Training Fund. Has been deposited into your account.]
’I just spent over two million, and now I get another million in rewards. Am I ever going to be able to launder all this money?’
Following Lin Jiang’s instructions, Li Zhiyi signed the papers. Then she brought out a POS machine, Lin Jiang swiped his card to pay, and the whole process was over in less than twenty minutes.
"Brother, I get off work in twenty minutes. Can you wait for me?"
Li Zhiyi said obediently,
"If you have something else to do, you can go ahead. I can meet you later."
"My childhood friend is back in town. He gets off work in an hour, so I can just wait for you here."
"Huh? Brother, are you taking me to dinner with your childhood friend?"
"What’s wrong?"
"I’m a little nervous. I didn’t know you were coming today, so I just wore a very plain outfit to work."
"It’s no big deal. He’s not some important person, no need to make a fuss," Lin Jiang said.
"Go finish your work. We’ll leave after you get off."
"Okay, I got it."
「Jinyuan Catering Co., Ltd.」
As closing time approached, Zhang Jingjing went to find Zhou Jingliang.
"Babe, how was your first day? Are you getting used to the work here?" Zhou Jingliang asked with concern.
"I’m getting used to it. It’s not tiring at all. What about you? Are you tired?"
Zhang Jingjing stood behind Zhou Jingliang and started massaging his shoulders.
"Let me rub them for you."
Zhou Jingliang thoroughly enjoyed it.
"I just started, so they haven’t given me much to do, but I expect it’ll get busy later on."
"If you get tired, I’ll rub your shoulders and help you relax."
"You’re so considerate. I knew I was right to choose you," Zhou Jingliang said with a goofy smile.
"Don’t worry, I’ll work hard. Sooner or later, we’ll be able to buy a house in Zhonghai."
"That’s true, but we’re getting married soon. Buying a house is an urgent problem we need to solve now."
"Sigh..." Zhou Jingliang sighed.
"I’ve thought about it. Our only option is to take out a loan for a smaller place. We can upgrade to a bigger house later when we’ve made more money. What do you think?"
"This is Zhonghai. Our education levels are just average. It’ll be very difficult to make big money," Zhang Jingjing said.
"I don’t think you should overthink it. You should talk to your buddy, ask him for the recipe, and we can open our own shop. That way, we won’t have to work for someone else, our income will increase, and buying a house won’t be a problem anymore."
"Absolutely not. Lin Jiang is my best friend. I can’t do something like that."
"Our salaries combined are just over ten thousand. Tell me, if we don’t do something like this, when will we ever be able to afford a house?"
Zhang Jingjing pulled on Zhou Jingliang’s arm, whining coquettishly.
"Darling, I’m just thinking about our future. It’s only a recipe. You two are so close, he’ll definitely agree. Please, just promise me you’ll go talk to him."
"Babe."
"It’s precisely because we’re such good friends that I can’t do something like this. I hope you can understand."
"I know you’re too thin-skinned and feel embarrassed to ask him. How about I go talk to him for you?"
"Don’t you dare! You, of all people, can’t be the one to say it!"
Zhou Jingliang’s tone became firm. "Don’t bring this up again. We are absolutely not doing this."
"Fine."
Zhang Jingjing let go of Zhou Jingliang’s hand. "I still have some work to take care of, so I’m heading back."
"Okay. He’s picking us up for dinner after work. Is there anything you want to eat?"
"Anything’s fine. You guys decide."
Zhang Jingjing turned and left, her expression turning cold. She was seething with anger.
’What a blockhead!’
’It’d be a miracle if you ever get rich!’
After leaving, Zhang Jingjing didn’t go back to the finance office. Instead, she went to Wang Haichen’s office.
"How did it go? Did he agree or not?"
"Don’t even ask. I tried persuading him every way I could, but it was useless. I’m so pissed off."
"Have you thought of any other ways?"
Wang Haichen said, crossing his legs, "As long as you can get the recipe, my offer still stands."
"There’s only one last option."
"What option?"
"I’m going to seduce his friend and try to get the recipe."
