A smile touched Lin Jiang’s lips when he saw Fang Jie’s bashful look.
"I can use my hand, but what if you make it sore?"
"Look at you, playing innocent after getting your way."
Fang Jie twitched her small nose, her expression rather cute. "I’m obviously the one who should be hurting."
"Action and reaction are equal and opposite. My hand will hurt, too."
"Well, I’m not going to worry about it. You figure it out."
Fang Jie used her phone to have the hotel’s front desk send up a yoga mat.
Lin Jiang sat on the sofa while Fang Jie, next to him, spread the yoga mat on the floor.
The distance between them was only a dozen or so centimeters.
With all preparations complete, today’s fitness session officially began.
Fang Jie knelt on the ground and leaned forward, the full, peach-like curve of her rear becoming prominent.
Because the shorts were a size too small, the fabric was stretched taut, clearly revealing the outlines of certain areas.
It was a truly delightful sight.
SLAP!
Lin Jiang bent over, raised his hand, and slapped Fang Jie’s butt.
Her body froze for a moment, and she bit her lip hard.
"Relax. Your leg muscles are too tense, so your movements aren’t fluid."
"I... I know..."
Following Lin Jiang’s guidance, Fang Jie’s movements gradually became more precise.
Lin Jiang sat on the sofa, admiring the fine view.
When he felt too lazy to use his hands, he would even give her butt a couple of taps with his foot. Fang Jie didn’t object; in fact, she seemed to enjoy it a little.
’At this moment, Fang Jie’s mind wasn’t on yoga at all.’
’She hadn’t expected him to come out wearing just a bath towel when she arrived.’
’Most importantly, he hadn’t changed into the clothes she had bought for him.’
’Her mind was filled with images of what was underneath that towel.’
’The sharp, defined lines of his upper body also distracted her, causing her to make many mistakes and earn a lot of smacks.’
Fang Jie could only bite her lip.
For her, the feeling was a mixture of pain and pleasure.
"This pose still isn’t quite right..."
"If it’s not right, then be a little stricter. That way, I won’t make the same mistake again."
Anyone would understand that "stricter" just meant she wanted Lin Jiang to hit her harder.
Lin Jiang had long since understood Fang Jie’s preferences.
"I can be stricter, but the problem is..."
Seeing Lin Jiang trail off, Fang Jie turned her head to look at him.
"What is it?"
"You should probably take a look for yourself."
"Look for myself? At what?"
Fang Jie followed Lin Jiang’s gaze, saw that he was looking at her butt, and suddenly understood.
’I’m wearing yoga shorts that are a size too small, and given this pose...’ Even without seeing it herself, she could imagine what it looked like.
"You have no mercy at all. You must have slapped it red..."
’At first, Lin Jiang’s slaps had been very light. He knew how to be gentle with a woman.’
’But that half-hearted force had left her feeling unsatisfied, so she had hinted that he could be stricter.’
’Afterward, she could clearly feel that he was indeed using more force—exactly the kind of sensation she wanted—so his smacks hadn’t been light.’
’It was only natural that her butt would be red after a few consecutive hits.’
"That’s not it..."
Huh?
Fang Jie was confused.
"Then what is it?"
"It’s a bit hard to explain. You’ll know if you go look in the bathroom."
His words left Fang Jie a bit stunned. Since she was getting tired from the workout anyway, she got up, sat on the sofa, and looked herself over.
Everything seemed normal. Although the shorts were tight, she hadn’t had a wardrobe malfunction. So what was the problem?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to Fang Jie.
’I bought a size too small, and they’ve been stretched taut this whole time. Could the seam on the yoga pants have split?’
’Thinking about it, that seemed to be the only possibility.’
Gingerly, Fang Jie spread her legs, her heart pounding with anxiety.
’If the seam really has split, this will be so embarrassing.’
Her heart began to race uncontrollably.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to calm herself down.
"Um... I think that’s enough for today’s workout. Let’s stop here. I should get back and rest."
"Okay."
Lin Jiang nodded with a smile.
Fang Jie got up and left in embarrassment, not daring to even glance at Lin Jiang on her way out.
Just a few simple moves had produced such an effect.
The next morning, after washing up, the two went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Fang Jie wore a placid expression, as if nothing had happened yesterday, and she could still face him calmly.
During the meal, Fang Jie pushed a sheet of A4 paper over to him.
"These are a few places I’ve compiled. See what you think. A lot of period dramas have filmed at these locations, and they all seem pretty good."
Lin Jiang looked it over and saw a few familiar places that he had also listed before.
"The Transistor Factory location is good. We can film the school scenes there," Lin Jiang said.
"The hospital scenes can be filmed there too. For the others, as long as they’re close enough, it’ll be fine."
Lin Jiang wanted to recreate the movie as faithfully as possible, but the most important thing was the feeling.
Once they decided on the general direction and the main filming locations, the remaining details would be fine as long as they weren’t jarring to the audience.
"We’ll head out right after we finish eating."
"Okay."
Having settled their business, the two quickened their pace.
After the meal, they hailed a taxi. Fang Jie was about to speak, but Lin Jiang cut her off.
"To the nearest Mercedes-Benz dealership."
"Huh?"
Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang. "You’re buying a car?"
"This counts as a business trip, and it’s inconvenient to always be taking taxis. Let’s just buy one."
Fang Jie finally understood what it meant to be rolling in money.
Other people bought local specialties on business trips. He, on the other hand, was buying a car.
Soon, the driver dropped them off at the dealership.
Seeing customers arrive, a saleswoman politely came over to greet them.
"Sir, ma’am, are you here to look at cars?"
Lin Jiang nodded.
"Do you have a Maybach S-Class in stock?"
The saleswoman brushed her bangs away from her forehead, her attitude becoming even more proper and serious.
"We just got an S680 Night Edition in yesterday. The MSRP is 3.641 million, with a 200,000 discount for a car on the lot."
Lin Jiang nodded. "Can I drive it off the lot today?"
"Yes, you can."
"Go prepare the contract. Please be quick."
"Right away."
The saleswoman led them to the VIP lounge. "Sir, ma’am, would you like something to drink?"
Lin Jiang looked at Fang Jie. "What about you?"
"Just mineral water is fine."
Soon, the saleswoman returned with two bottles of mineral water. After handing them over, she left to prepare the contract.
"That saleswoman’s eyes lit up when she heard you wanted to buy the 680," Fang Jie said, leaning in and whispering.
"That’s normal. The final price will be nearly four million. She’ll get a hefty commission, so of course she’s going to provide good service."
"No, no, no, I think she might have been captivated by your handsome looks."
"What can I say? Can’t let this natural-born beauty go to waste."
"Oh, you’re so full of yourself."
Fang Jie leaned in a little closer. "That saleswoman has pretty nice legs, doesn’t she?"
"That’s a bit of an abrupt topic change. Your train of thought is a little jumpy."
"It’s because I saw you staring at her legs."
"I only glanced for a second, and you already caught me?"
"Of course. Don’t underestimate a woman’s powers of observation," Fang Jie said.
"So, just like other men, you like black stockings."
"Of course I’m like other men. If I weren’t, wouldn’t that make me gay?"
"HONK HONK HONK..."
Fang Jie let out a honking laugh. "Then tell me, whose legs are better, mine or hers?"
’Qiu Yunong had asked who performed better, her or Li Zhiyi.’
’Zhao Fangfei had asked who performed better, her or Qin Yangyang.’
’And now Fang Jie wanted to compete with this saleswoman.’
’Why was a woman’s competitive spirit always focused on such strange things?’
Lin Jiang looked at Fang Jie’s legs, appraising them critically. "You have a slight edge."
"Just a slight edge?" Fang Jie sounded a little disappointed.
"What can I do? She’s wearing black stockings; that’s a huge bonus. The fact that you still have a slight edge even with that is already very impressive."
"You really know what to say."
Soon, the saleswoman returned with the contract.
The rest of the process went smoothly: sign the papers, pay the money, complete the procedures, and drive away in the new car.
Lin Jiang didn’t intend to get license plates. A temporary tag would be enough for the next few days.
After buying the car, they went out to get gas, then drove to the Transistor Factory in the tourist district.
This was the filming location for the school in *Xia Luote’s Troubles*.
Arriving there, Lin Jiang felt a sense of familiarity as scenes from the movie surfaced in his mind.
After the two went inside, Lin Jiang could even recall the original plot points.
Since this was also a location Fang Jie had chosen, after seeing it in person, they were in immediate agreement.
After checking out some of the important spots, the two drove off.
For the next two days, they were busy with this matter, visiting seven or eight different places and finalizing several important filming locations.
After finishing all this, as far as Lin Jiang was concerned, this phase of the work was complete. He could leave the rest to Li Wenzhong.
The next thing on his agenda was the acquisition of Li Yuan.
Returning to the hotel at noon, the two went to eat together.
"The place you need to go is Shudong City, right?" Fang Jie asked, looking at Lin Jiang. "When are you negotiating the acquisition?"
Lin Jiang glanced at the date on his watch. "The day after tomorrow, probably. There happens to be a land auction then. Although I don’t need to attend, I should still go and get a feel for the situation."
’He Xuelu had already more or less settled this matter in private.’
’I’m just going to make an appearance. There isn’t much for me to do, so my schedule is relatively flexible.’
"How about this? This afternoon, I’ll go to my uncle’s place for a bit. I’ll be out in an hour at most, and then we can go shopping."
Lin Jiang looked at Fang Jie with a smile. "Buying more yoga pants?"
