Chapter 98: I Only Have Eyes for Zhao Qingfeng! (1/2)

To lend, or not to lend.

This was a question.

If there were no photos involved, Wang Jian would have immediately lent it to her.

But now,

the photos hadn’t been developed yet.

If he lent it to Shen Lingyao, wouldn’t he have worked all afternoon for nothing?

“Is it okay?”

Shen Lingyao’s tone was too sweet to refuse.

She didn’t want Wang Jian to keep these photos.

She planned to take them home, develop them, and show her stunning beauty to her brother Qingfeng.

Hmph!

Marrying this princess in this lifetime is the fortune that rascal Qingfeng has accumulated in his past life. He should count his blessings!

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Before Wang Jian could speak, Wang Tieshan immediately intervened, “Yaoyao, whatever you like, I’ll give it to you. We have another DV at home, you can take this one to play with.”

Old Shen tried to decline, saying they already had such a device at home.

Shen Lingyao pouted, “Dad, ours is not clear enough, I want to use this one!”

What else was there to say?

For the two adults, whether the DV was borrowed or given didn’t matter.

The two adults didn’t make a big deal out of it and led the way.

Walking behind, Wang Jian suddenly remembered something and looked at Shen Lingyao, “Yaoyao, what were you shouting on the roller coaster about big bee, look how awesome I am’? What does that mean? Big bee must be someone’s nickname, right?”

“Right!”

Shen Lingyao replied playfully, “We’ve been childhood friends, always playing together. He always bullies me, and I bully him back. When I go back this time, I’ll show him the amusement park video, and annoy that rascal to death!”

As she said this, there were stars in Shen Lingyao’s eyes.

Shen Lingyao told many stories about playing with Zhao Qingfeng.

Things like secretly driving, doing mischief at the amusement park, holding hands in the back row, hiding nervously in his arms, all of which shattered Wang Jian’s heart.

Big bee?

Such an endearing nickname, when would she ever call him ‘Little Jianjian’?

…

Wang Jian fell silent.

His mood was completely downcast.

It seemed heavenly enemies couldn’t compare to a childhood friend.

But,

looking at his father chatting with Old Shen, his mood improved again.

What’s the use of a childhood friend?

He had heard from his father about the difficulties in Zhao Qingfeng’s family.

In contrast, his family was affluent.

Moreover, if his father could connect with Erlunsi, they might really be able to buy a villa, live in a big house, and become a second-generation rich.

By then,

he and that big bee would be worlds apart. Why worry about not being able to compete?

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

As he was thinking, a big bee flew over from a flowerbed nearby, circled around Wang Jian, stung him, and then flew away.

“Ouch!”

Wang Jian’s hand hurt terribly, and he really wanted to buy a bottle of insecticide to spray and kill all the bees in the park.

“Ha ha ha!”

Shen Lingyao laughed loudly, “That big bee didn’t dare to bully me. Otherwise, I would have slapped it to death. Only I can tame him.”

They soon got into the car and headed to the International Tower.

………………….

The International Tower was located in the most bustling city center of the province, on the twenty-eighth floor of the International Building, opposite the equally popular department store.

Not only did it have a revolving restaurant with a panoramic view of the entire city, but it also had many private luxury rooms.

Lavishly decorated.

The food was expensive.

It was usually used to entertain the most distinguished guests. For example, Liu Li and Manager Zhang had entertained Zhao Qingfeng here before.

As Shen Kuo and others were heading there,

the leadership team of Li Ming Clothing was also holding a celebration in one of the hotel’s private rooms.

There were thirteen people present.

Besides Liu Li, Driver Little Wang, and Wang Qiuyue, there were several new faces Zhao Qingfeng hadn’t seen before. These were salespeople recently hired by Li Ming Clothing. Since Li Ming Clothing was already considered part of Erlunsi’s light asset restructuring plan, it was a merged yet independent entity. If everything was settled, they would be ready to embark on a new development path.

“Come on!”
