Capítulo 972: Chapter 363: Buying a Plane (Part 2)
Everyone around him also went to the club to help, including the Yun sisters, Yun Rou and Yun Lan, and even Qi Jiayi, who was still transitioning work at the law firm… Whenever he had time, he would help Jiang Qingkui handle the chaotic affairs of the club.
This morning, Qi Jiayi had already gone there, and with him and Jiang Qingkui as a perfect duo managing Jingwang Club, Zhou Wang felt comfortable enough to go out and have fun.
However, he didn’t expect Ji Xiaoxi not to be alone; there was also a relative and a man who seemed to be a dating candidate.
Coincidentally, this Yue Junnan was an employee of Xueren Group and seemed to be a small leader in some department.
Seeing the other party speak more and more absurdly, Zhou Wang initially intended to hold back from laughing, but he wasn’t professionally trained, so he couldn’t help but laugh.
This annoyed Yue Junnan. In his eyes, this seemingly random pretty boy was clearly also a suitor of Ji Xiaoxi, but evidently, the other guy was more thick-skinned than him.
The most obvious sign was when getting into the car, theoretically, Zhou Wang should have sat in the passenger seat, but he claimed he would get carsick sitting in the front and directly squeezed into the back with Ji Xiaoxi.
The honest Li Fei, of course, said nothing, scratched his head, and went to the front seat, really giving the back seat to Zhou Wang.
Yue Junnan was furious, having only ever heard of getting carsick in the back; who the hell gets carsick sitting in the front passenger seat?
But he couldn’t say anything, after all, he was nothing with Ji Xiaoxi now and could only watch as Zhou Wang squeezed in next to Ji Xiaoxi, shoulder brushing her exposed fair shoulder from her strap dress, knee subtly touching the round thigh beneath her dress.
He couldn’t understand why, since the back seat of his BMW wasn’t that cramped, but Ji Xiaoxi just wouldn’t avoid suspicion, not even moving closer to her own cousin, and simply let Zhou Wang sit so close.
Luckily, he watched closely along the way, and Zhou Wang didn’t seem to do anything too outrageous.
Actually, Yue Junnan knew he was overthinking; after using a luxurious gift he hadn’t given away before to “buy” Cheng Xueqing, she had spilled the beans to him about all of Ji Xiaoxi’s past life.
Strict upbringing, almost no romantic history, conservative, aloof, yet with beautiful features…
These traits combined made her the perfect target in Yue Junnan’s eyes.
In fact, after getting to know her, Yue Junnan could feel that Cheng Xueqing wasn’t lying; Ji Xiaoxi was indeed a girl unversed in worldly matters, yet not easy to approach.
But no matter how unapproachable, Yue Junnan still had full confidence in himself.
With parents as high executives in state-owned enterprises, he himself was a department leader at a listed company, with a car and house in Beidou, earning millions annually, plus a decent appearance and knowing how to make girls happy, up until now, he hadn’t failed to pursue a girl he seriously went after.
Originally planning to talk about some “Beijing Circle secrets” to show off his impressive social network, who knew he’d suddenly hear Zhou Wang’s mocking laughter, making Yue Junnan very displeased.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that the version I know seems a bit different from what you’re saying.”
Having failed to hold back, Zhou Wang gave a laid-back smile.
Yue Junnan immediately frowned, no longer maintaining his composed demeanor, instead sneering, “Aren’t you from out of town? How could you know about our Beidou stuff, or did you read some so-called exposé on some forum?”
“No, I didn’t. The reason I know is that I’m also involved.”
“You’re involved?”
Yue Junnan was momentarily stunned.
“Yes, the reason Xueren Group ceased operations is because Xue Mingyuan offended me.”
Zhou Wang said seriously.
Yue Junnan was dazed for quite a while, then couldn’t help bursting into laughter, “Whoa, buddy, you’re truly humorous!”
Maybe because of Zhou Wang’s over-the-top words, Yue Junnan suddenly found Zhou Wang much more agreeable, after all, in his view, such a young man ignorant of the world’s vastness posed no real threat.
He still wanted to say something, but his phone suddenly rang, so Yue Junnan stopped himself and picked up the call.
While Yue Junnan was on the phone with who knows whom, Cheng Xueqing in the back seat pulled Ji Xiaoxi a bit closer, whispering in her ear.
“Xixi, you should should make up an excuse to have this Zhou Wang leave later. Brother Yue is treating us for dinner; it’s not suitable for him to tag along, and Brother Yue clearly has some issues with him…”
“What his issues are have nothing to do with me.”
Ji Xiaoxi frowned, softly replying, “I never planned to go for the meal he’s treating. You insisted on inviting him; you can go eat by yourselves. I… I’ll leave with Zhou Wang.”
“Xixi, how can you say that? Don’t you think Brother Yue is really nice? What’s so good about Zhou Wang besides his looks, and looks can’t fill your stomach. Besides, Brother Yue looks good too…”
“Do you really believe Yue Junnan can arrange a good job for my brother-in-law, or is it just because he gave you a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet?”
Ji Xiaoxi glanced at the four-leaf clover bracelet on Cheng Xueqing’s hand, then shook her head, “Sis, honestly, you’d be better off asking Zhou Wang.”
“Ask him?”
Cheng Xueqing was surprised and said somewhat absurdly, “What can he do? Plus, you heard him just now, bragging in front of Brother Yue, so unreliable…”
“He wasn’t bragging.”
Ji Xiaoxi shook her head.
“Huh?”
