Chapter 101 Ferne's Roar
st, though she wasn't unattractive, but often looked like a shrew, which was rather annoying.“Why” Han Xinye responded just as fiercely.Zhang Yan妮 said aggressively, "This is the Zhang family, not you...Chapter 101: Ferin's Roar
"If it really is about signing with Liu Xuan, we would price her according to the market rate. We wouldn’t offer merely six thousand; that’s too petty and looks like bullying newbies." Shangguan Shishi said, "But dealing with Cai Bincun on the other hand may be a little tricky since she's just one step away."
Wang Zheng smiled and replied, "Actually, it’s simple. I didn’t say we must use Liu Xuan; let's give her an audition chance first. It might turn out to be a pleasant surprise."
"Alright," Shangguan Shishi said, "you can go talk to Liu Xuan and get her opinion. As for the rest of it, I’ll handle it."
“Sure thing,” Wang Zheng grinned and chuckled, “but that Cai Bincun looks pretty too, just a notch below you.”
No woman dislikes compliments about their appearance, Shangguan Shishi included. Wang Zheng’s simple words made this young beauty CEO beam with delight.
…………
Liu Xuan had already reserved her spot at Grandma Bridge restaurant, which was considered a central business district in the capital city and thus very busy. Grandma Bridge was also a well-known chain Sichuan cuisine restaurant that often saw full occupancy during meal times.
Recently, Liu Xuan had managed to get an internship teaching position with a training institution for two thousand five hundred yuan per month; she just needed to work the evening shift. Although it wasn’t much pay, considering her past experience of working as a waitress in a food stall while studying, this was already quite good.
After receiving her first month's salary, Liu Xuan’s immediate thought was to treat Wang Zheng and Sheng Fei to a meal since the two had given her such great help. She even called Sheng Fei but recently he was too busy to accept.
Wang Zheng arrived on time; truth be told, he did like Chinese cuisine. After years abroad, every time he picked up a knife and fork for Western food, he felt gloomy.
From afar, Wang Zheng saw Liu Xuan waving at him.
"What's up You have something good to celebrate that you're treating me" Wang Zheng pulled out a chair as he sat down. "Got paid How much"
Liu Xuan didn't know why, but every time she saw Wang Zheng, her mood would be lifted to the skies.
I am currently teaching at an English training institution, tutoring high school students. I have three classes every evening and earn two thousand five hundred a month, just got paid.
Liu Xuan opened the menu and handed it to Wang Zheng with a smile, saying, "Take a look and see what you want to eat Don't worry about saving for me today, enjoy until you're full."
"Then I won’t be rude," Wang Zheng smiled as he flipped through the menu: "Let's get steamed scallops with chili, sweet and sour pork loin, Sichuan-style braised duck gizzards, western Sichuan farm chicken, spicy pork intestine, yes, that’s five dishes for now. What would you like to eat"
Liu Xuan took the menu back and said, "I’ll order two more dishes for you, let's get dried bean curd with pork belly and stir-fried twice-cooked pork. How does that sound"
Wang Zheng looked at Liu Xuan’s beautiful eyes and smiled as he said, "In this way, you will spend half a month's salary."
Liu Xuan laughed indifferently: "No worries, what’s the big deal Food is heaven to people; I can enjoy myself once in a while."
The reason why Liu Xuan differs from other girls lies in her inner chivalry. This girl acts generously and independently, without any dependence on others or objects, which is also what Wang Zheng values most about her.
If it were another girl who had just received their salary, they might immediately buy themselves a few outfits or a set of high-end cosmetics, but girls like Liu Xuan are quite rare.
"You invited me to dinner; I can’t come empty-handed." Wang Zheng took a sip of water and asked: "Do you want to shoot an advertisement"
Liu Xuan seemed puzzled, thought for a moment, then smiled: "Shoot an advertisement Never thought about it. And I've heard that there are many unwritten rules in this industry, which makes me a bit scared."
Wang Zheng looked at Liu Xuan's expression and burst out laughing: "To be honest, you're so pretty; you definitely have what it takes to be 'coerced'."
"I'll stick to being my teacher. After graduation, I’ll strive to get a teaching certificate in the capital and then find a middle school where I can live an ordinary life. As for shooting ads or becoming a star, I haven’t thought about it at all." Liu Xuan seriously pondered before saying.
Liu Xuan's reaction once again surprised Wang Zheng; if other girls heard such news, they would probably be overjoyed, but Liu Xuan is the complete opposite.
Wang Zheng nodded and smiled: "Actually, just consider it a small favor for me. Would you like to try out for a commercial shoot with Jurong International"
As soon as Liu Xuan heard that she was helping Wang Zheng, she immediately agreed. However, she still had some concerns: "I haven't received systematic acting training; will this affect my performance Moreover, how could such a huge corporation like Jirong even consider me"
"I'm not sure about that either. I can't decide on it, we have to see what the director thinks," Wang Zheng said with a smile: "However, if others heard they had an opportunity to shoot an advertisement for Jirong International, they would definitely fight each other just for the chance. Why are you hesitating And if selected, the benefits will certainly be substantial; don't you want to use this money to do something you have always wanted"
Liu Xuan waved her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Alright then, looks like I need to prepare myself mentally for being a pretty face. But honestly, I'm not nervous at all, might as well treat it like an extra role."
"That's good then, tomorrow I'll take you for the audition."
At this point, the dishes had been served, steaming hot and fragrant, making everyone salivate. Wang Zheng didn't say much more; he picked up his chopsticks and started eating voraciously.
It must be said that the food at Wai Nai Qiao was indeed very delicious, fresh, savory, spicy all at once, leaving a lasting impression in your mouth.
"I'm telling you to eat slower, what if you choke Do you even notice the taste of the dishes when you're eating like this" Liu Xuan looked at Wang Zheng's manner of eating and was both amused and annoyed; she quickly poured him a glass of water.
“Wang Zheng”
Just as Wang Zheng was devouring his food, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him.
Lifting his head up, it turned out to be Fei Lin, that elementary school classmate who wanted to pursue Sheng Fei.
The moment Wang Zheng saw him, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Fei Lin, I didn't expect to run into you here. This is quite a coincidence. Come and sit down and eat with us."
Of course, it must be said that there was much insincerity in the warmth of Wang Zheng's welcome; he certainly did not wish to have dinner together with this man who harbored ill will towards him.
Fei Lin didn't sit down. He merely looked at Liu Xuan sitting across from Wang Zheng and coldly said: "Wang Zheng, isn’t it that you already have a girlfriend How can you secretly go on a date with such an attractive girl Let me tell you frankly—if I inform Sheng Fei about what happened today, she will probably immediately break off her relationship with you!"
Wang Zheng smiled; he could see through this. Fei Lin was clearly just being sour grapes because his pursuit of Sheng Fei had failed. Seeing Wang Zheng dining with another girl caused him to lash out immediately. This guy appeared so courteous and dignified back in Sheng Fei's hometown, but it turned out that as soon as he returned to the capital city, his true colors were revealed.
However, Fei Lin is still considered a successful person as the capital sales regional manager of some large corporation. His social status is decent and he has an apartment and a car in the capital, which are modern-day weapons for attracting women. But after seeing Sheng Fei last time, he was immediately smitten with her but didn't expect that someone else had beaten him to it. Upon returning home, he felt remorseful about it. This time he invited a young and pretty female employee of his company out for a meal and planned to first fulfill his vanity before venting his loneliness from sleeping alone every day. However, unexpectedly, here he ran into Wang Zheng, who was having an intimate dinner with a female student whose beauty didn't pale in comparison to Sheng Fei's or Shangguan Shishi's!
In reality, Wang Zheng and Liu Xuan's expressions weren't ambiguous at all. It was just that Liu Xuan poured Wang Zheng a glass of water, which was seen as evidence of infidelity by Fei Lin.
Hence, the little flame of jealousy in Manager Fei's heart started to burn fiercely and soon spread like wildfire.
“Wang Zheng, how can you eat your bowl of rice while still eyeing another pot How do you face Sheng Fei Is it easy for a girl to make her way alone in the capital Why are you treating her this way What kind of man are you” Fei Lin opened fire like a machine gun. The beautiful female employee beside him looked at Wang Zheng with obvious disdain.
As it was lunchtime, there were many people in Nai Na Bridge Restaurant and Fei Lin's loud call immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some even started to point and whisper about what was happening at their table, most of them with disdainful looks.
The curiosity for gossip news is always strong among the masses as seen by a headline from Huaxia Entertainment Weekly: "Original Spouse Cleverly Sets Up Trap, Husband and Mistress Caught in Act in Car." On that day, because of this eye-catching article, Huaxia Entertainment Weekly was sold out.
Wang Zheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Fei Lin with a smile. Leaning back on the chair, he waited for the little man to continue his performance.
Liu Xuan's face turned red as anger flickered in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak up, Wang Zheng gave her an assuring look and she slowly calmed down, though her trembling fingers showed that she wasn't as composed on the outside as she appeared to be.
Seeing so many people staring at them made Fei Lin even more pleased with himself: "Wang Zheng, what capital do you have here to court girls Do you know how much capital one needs to maintain a relationship in the capital"
"I haven't turned thirty yet and through my efforts, I bought an apartment on Capital's Second Ring Road and a car. The total value is nearly five million yuan. Even so, I didn’t stop my efforts; every day, I work diligently."
Truly worthy of being in sales, Fei Lin was like a speaker at this moment. The more people paying attention to him, the more excited he became. In fact, he could feel many women casting admiring glances his way.
To be honest, Fei Lin felt that right now he resembled a young idol; if he were to speak in front of college students, he would definitely gain many followers!
"And you" Fei Lin sneered. "You're only a security guard at some big company. What qualifications do you have to court such pretty girls"
“You two dogs and bitches showing off your love in public, don’t you know what shame is” Fei Lin felt himself getting carried away and didn't care about the appropriateness of his words as he blurted them out.
But before he could finish speaking, a cup of hot tea splashed on his face, scalding him badly!d what I want. But honestly, we’re around the same age; don’t you think about personal issues Or do you have someone special in your heart"When Li Tianshu mentioned “special someone,” Song Ziyè’s eyes...
