Vice President’s Office.
After tidying up, Qin Yu got into bed.
Her mind couldn’t help but retrace everything that happened today.
The chance encounter with Zhang Jingdong, his subsequent invitation, Secretary Gao’s threat, and Zhang Jingdong’s stepping in.
Then there were his words, his martial skills, his injuries, her mom’s admonitions, and the time alone with him in the hospital ward, his riddles, his magic tricks, the look in his eyes when he peeked at her, and the strange sensation when he held her hand...
Qin Yu felt like tonight’s experiences were the most incredible she’s ever had in her many years of life.
And she’d never met a man like Zhang Jingdong!
He was rich, handsome, skilled in combat, and could even perform magic—and do it so quickly...
Moreover, sometimes he was very manly, such as when he rescued her, but sometimes he was bad, like when they were alone, how he dared to peek at her so blatantly and even had the audacity to admit it!
What Qin Yu found most unbelievable was that although she clearly felt that men like Zhang Jingdong were dangerous, she couldn’t help but want to be near him, and even became deeply curious about him!
She didn’t know why, but right now she just wanted to understand Zhang Jingdong more deeply, wanting to know what kind of person he was.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu glanced at the time, then sent Yan Ning a text message: Sister Ning, are you home yet?
Less than ten seconds later, Yan Ning made a direct phone call.
Qin Yu let out a long sigh and then answered: "Hello, Sister Ning..."
"Yu, calling me at this hour, what’s up, missing me already?"
Besides being business partners, the two were best friends.
And as everyone knows, best friends, especially when both don’t have boyfriends, can have just as much fun as those who do.
Though Yan Ning and Qin Yu weren’t wild, their late-night phone calls were still unfettered.
Qin Yu joked: "Sister Ning, you’ve been getting more and more open lately, if you can’t hold it in, just find me a brother-in-law to settle down with!"
Yan Ning chuckled devilishly: "To find one, we must find someone young, handsome, and rich; not only safe but also very reliable!"
Qin Yu was instantly surprised: "Sister Ning, that’s not like you. It seems some situation has developed with you recently since I haven’t approached you for a few days?"
"What are you talking about? I’m just... just telling the truth, after all, for people like us, dating someone just for their looks isn’t safe, someone just young isn’t meaningful, someone just rich is unnecessary."
"Only those who meet all three conditions are worth our consideration."
Qin Yu sighed: "But meeting all three conditions at once is too difficult, isn’t it? And if we think such men are good, other women definitely would too, then it would be difficult for these men not to be heartbreakers!"
"If he’s a heartbreaker, then let him be, after all, we’re just using them temporarily, and we won’t suffer any losses, we might even get unprecedented joy!"
Qin Yu was completely shocked: "Sister Ning, what you’re saying... You’ve changed so much just in a few days! I feel like I’m starting to not recognize you!"
"You used to be very picky about men, how come you’re loosening your standards now, especially with regards to loyalty, I remember you said you had an obsession with fidelity in love, no matter what you wouldn’t consider those flirtatious men."
"And you even said if you fell in love in the future and found out the other party cheated, you would definitely not let it slide, but now how come you’re even..."
"Qin Yu, my dear, but there is also a saying you should have heard, before you look for a man, you preset various conditions, but when you really meet him, you suddenly realize those preset conditions are completely meaningless."
"And we’re almost 30 now, we should also loosen our requirements a bit, otherwise, we might really end up alone, haven’t you said your mom has been pressuring you to get married lately?"
"Yeah, I now have to mentally prepare myself before every trip home, I just can’t stand my mom’s nagging!"
"So, Yu my sister, listen to my advice, loosen up your criteria a bit, otherwise, even though you’re so qualified, it would honestly be difficult!"
Qin Yu nonchalantly replied: "Sister Ning, from the tone of your voice, it seems like you’ve indeed met your true love! Tell me about him, do I know him?"
"Who said I’ve met him, I’m just talking hypothetically."
"Sister Ning, you’re still not being honest with me, what, are you afraid I’ll compete with you?"
"To be honest, if I really met such an exceptional man, I’d really be generous, you wouldn’t need to compete, we could share him together, since we’ve already been frank with each other, what’s wrong with sharing the same man?"
"Haha, Sister Ning, you’ve got my respect, I just don’t have your level of enlightenment!"
"By the way, Sister Ning, I... I want to ask you something?"
"What’s up? Just say it."
"Do you remember the client you referred to me last time, Mr. Zhang from the entertainment company?"
Yan Ning originally had the phone in her right hand, but upon hearing that, she subconsciously switched the phone to her left hand: "I remember, what about him?"
At that moment, Qin Yu got out of bed and went to the window, continuing: "...Well, our last collaboration was successful, and the court date is coming up soon."
