Zhang Jingdong got into the car, thought for a moment, and then said to Long Yue, "Go to Lu Ming Garden."
While on the way, Zhang Jingdong sent a text to Su Man: Where are you?
Su Man: At An Lu’s place, are you coming back tonight?
Zhang Jingdong: Yes, I’m on my way back.
Su Man: Do you have something you want to talk to me about alone?
Zhang Jingdong originally wanted to talk to Su Man alone about having her do a catwalk at the bar that evening, but then he thought that both he and Su Man would be absent, and An Lu would surely overthink things.
Moreover, An Lu would eventually find out about the bar, and if she wasn’t invited to the opening but Su Man was - even though Su Man was invited to perform - An Lu would surely feel somewhat unstable, so he might as well invite her to come to the bar tomorrow night as well.
As for the possibility of running into Lin Xiran and the others, including Xiao Fei, he would have to rely on his own skills.
So, Zhang Jingdong replied: Just wanted to make sure you two are together, so I can give you both a lesson later.
Su Man: Sure, An An was just discussing with me how we will deal with you when you come back.
Zhang Jingdong: No matter what you guys plan, it’s futile before absolute strength!
Su Man: But there’s a saying, ’only the dead fish can’t be plowed, not the bad fish,’ and since you were not around yesterday, we researched many tactics. Before, it was because you had more tricks than us, but once we improve, you might not be able to withstand our double-sided attack.
Zhang Jingdong: Really? Didn’t expect you two to be so studious! But no worries, I hope you can force me to unleash my full power, I also want to see how many lessons I can handle in a day.
Su Man: Hurry back, we’re waiting for you.
Zhang Jingdong: What are you wearing today?
Zhang Jingdong: Lace?
Zhang Jingdong: Xiao Ding?
Su Man: Yes, yesterday when An An went shopping, she also bought a few for me, she said you like Xiao Ding the most.
Zhang Jingdong: What color are you wearing?
Zhang Jingdong: What about your outerwear?
Su Man: A white denim skirt.
Zhang Jingdong: How about her?
Su Man: Black, and she is wearing a black camisole slip dress, the super cool kind, she is much more liberated than me now.
Zhang Jingdong: It’s just because you’ve just started attending my classes and haven’t fully opened up yet. After you’ve taken half a month of my classes, you’ll definitely not be less receptive than her.
Su Man: Your teaching methods are really outrageous.
Zhang Jingdong: But do you like it?
Zhang Jingdong: What do you like most about me?
Zhang Jingdong: The ruler?
Su Man: That’s second.
Zhang Jingdong: Is it the finger that’s ranked first?
Zhang Jingdong: I thought you liked my strength, turns out you truly enjoy my technique. Alright then, tonight you’ll fully experience my unbeatable tri-tip double-edged fingers.
Su Man: Looking forward to it.
Zhang Jingdong: Then I also want to see the Xiao Ding version of Victoria’s Secret.
Su Man: Actually, the surprise we prepared for you tonight is just that, but you have to pretend to not know now, or else An An will definitely call me a blabbermouth.
Zhang Jingdong: Don’t worry, it’s a complete secret. Plus, you know my acting skills, see you in a bit.
Su Man: See you in a bit!
Zhang Jingdong stared at his phone for a while longer, then excitedly said to Long Yue, "Drive faster!"
Feeling the enthusiasm in Zhang Jingdong’s tone, Long Yue secretly despised him for a moment, then directly sped up.
Twenty minutes later, the car slowly stopped in the underground parking of Lu Ming Garden.
Zhang Jingdong instructed Long Yue a few words, then got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs.
He arrived at An Lu’s doorstep and rang the doorbell.
Soon the door was opened, and to his surprise, it was a delighted Su Man.
Zhang Jingdong was slightly surprised, "Where’s An An?"
"She went out to prepare some late-night snacks for you!"
Zhang Jingdong entered the house, closed the door with his foot, and simultaneously wrapped his arm around Su Man’s slender waist.
"What are you up to then?"
"I was watching a movie and waiting to open the door for you."
"What are you watching?"
Zhang Jingdong turned his head to look at the TV, then suddenly laughed: "Malèna... good choice!"
Su Man tapped his nose with her finger, "I knew you would like it... so do you like the plot of this film, or just purely Monica Bellucci?"
Zhang Jingdong, moving his hand lower while smirking, said, "Well, this film would have been a regular foreign drama if not for Monica Bellucci. But because of Monica Bellucci, along with a bit of tragic color in the plot, this film became the world-renowned ’Malèna’!"
"I do indeed like Monica Bellucci, but I dare say she might not have a figure as good as yours. Watch closely when you work with her in the future!"
Su Man was originally about to tease Zhang Jingdong about "who is prettier between herself and Monica Bellucci," but she didn’t expect him to come up with such a response.
Suddenly confused: "What are you talking about? Me working with her? Are you joking internationally with me?"
Zhang Jingdong placed his hands on her shoulders, "Forgot to tell you, the company is signing a director tomorrow, and we’ll soon be investing in movie production, and you’ll appear on the big screen in cinemas by the end of this year!"
"Once you’ve accumulated enough filming experience, I will invest in an international blockbuster in the future, and I’ll definitely get you to work with Monica Bellucci!"
