After finishing the discussion about the project, the two of them felt a bit sickly sweet and then descended the building together.
An Lu accompanied Zhang Jingdong all the way down to the steps outside, watching his car drive away before reluctantly heading back to the bank.
When she entered the lobby on the first floor, those who had seen her go upstairs with Zhang Jingdong suddenly cast gossip-filled glances at her again.
Some of the more venomous glances even spotted the hint of spring light in her eyes, and instantly paid mental homage to Zhang Jingdong, thinking, "What an idol of our generation!"
After leaving the bank, Zhang Jingdong noticed it was still early, and having earned over ten million just this afternoon, he decided to splurge a bit.
So he took out his phone to send a text to He Jieyu: "Is Mr. Yan at the company right now?"
About half a minute later, He Jieyu replied: "Yeah, he is."
Zhang Jingdong: "How’s his mood today? I want to go see him now."
He Jieyu: "Better not today, he has a lot scheduled."
Zhang Jingdong: "I want to see him about a serious matter."
He Jieyu: "What matter?"
Zhang Jingdong: "Does renting an entire floor of your building count as serious?"
He Jieyu: "Are you joking? The rent for one floor here for a year is at least over ten million, are you sure?"
Zhang Jingdong: "I thought it would be a billion, only over ten million? I have to tell you, I earned over ten million just today, shouldn’t you be worshipping me to death?"
He Jieyu: "Could you at least draft your brags next time? Earning over ten million in one day, that’s over three billion in a month, and around thirty to forty billion in a year!
As far as I know, even the top companies in Jiangdu don’t make that much profit in a year."
Zhang Jingdong: "Since you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet? If I actually earned over ten million today, then I can punish you in any way I want.
And if I can’t prove that I made over ten million today, then I’ll immediately transfer one million to you, how about that?"
He Jieyu: "Forget it, since you dare to bet , then I believe you, okay?"
Zhang Jingdong: "Already chickening out? That’s no fun. Alright, wait for me, I’m heading to your company now."
Then he looked up at Long Yue and said, "Go to Maple Forest Building."
Half an hour later, a black Range Rover slowly parked in front of the parking lot of Maple Forest Building.
Zhang Jingdong got out of the car, entered the building, and confidently made his way to Yan Ning’s company.
Zhang Jingdong deliberately didn’t contact Yan Ning and went straight to the reception.
"Good day, sir, how can I assist you?"
"Tell your Mr. Yan that Mr. Zhang from Dongsheng Entertainment Company is here to talk about a collaboration."
"Very well, please wait a moment!"
The beautiful receptionist made a call, then said to Zhang Jingdong, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yan invites you to his office, please follow me!"
Zhang Jingdong then followed her into the company.
At that moment, someone recognized Zhang Jingdong, who had last time come to meet Mr. Yan with a cheongsam and not only successfully gave the cheongsam but also spent over two hours in Mr. Yan’s office.
Subsequently, many people who were diligently working also looked up towards him.
Finally, Zhang Jingdong once again stepped into Yan Ning’s office amidst everyone’s envious and admiring gazes.
The moment he saw Zhang Jingdong come in, He Jieyu deliberately didn’t wait for Yan Ning to find an excuse to send her away, and directly said, "Mr. Yan, I’ll go check that document again!"
Then she walked away.
Yan Ning saw her leave the office and her face flushed red in an instant.
She knew it was because of this guy in front of her that she lost her composure, so she turned her head and glared at Zhang Jingdong: "Why are you here at my company again!"
Zhang Jingdong replied casually, "Mr. Yan, is this how you conduct business? I’m here representing our company to discuss business, please don’t let your imagination run wild, okay?"
"You... What business does your company have with mine that you want to discuss?"
Zhang Jingdong touched his nose: "Our company has been expanding recently, and the original office space isn’t enough, so I’m thinking of renting a floor here!"
"What... a whole floor? Aren’t you joking a bit too much? Although I know your company is very profitable, the annual rent for a floor here is at least ten million, are you sure?"
At that moment, Zhang Jingdong deliberately teased her, "Others might need to pay at least ten million, but given our current relationship... do you dare to charge me ten million?"
Yan Ning deliberately avoided looking at him: "There’s a saying, ’No kinship in business.’ Not to mention... we’re just ordinary friends at the moment, at most you... are just Zifeng’s teacher."
Zhang Jingdong smiled meaningfully: "Is that so, you would allow someone you consider just an ordinary friend to do that, seems like Mr. Yan, you’re very open-minded?"
Yan Ning knew he was deliberately provoking her and immediately glared at him: "What are you talking about, last night... that was because... because you’re a rogue!"
"I didn’t even... what are you doing?"
Yan Ning had only spoken halfway when she saw Zhang Jingdong heading straight towards her, so she quickly stepped back several steps.
But Zhang Jingdong just smiled and said, "I just wanted to admire those photos I took for you last time again!"
Saying so, he directly opened the drawer of Yan Ning’s office desk, but finding no camera, he hesitated, "Where’s the camera?"
Yan Ning glared at him fiercely, then stepped forward and opened a nearby safe: "Here, take it yourself!"
Zhang Jingdong looked inside and indeed discovered the camera.
Immediately he was amused: "So you really treasure those photos I took for you!"
"Who treasures them? I was just worried in case you lost your camera, you..."
Before she could finish, Zhang Jingdong suddenly wrapped his arm around her slender waist and kissed her.
