Chapter 679: Chapter 294: Secretly Going to Her Place with Her!
"Before Mandela became president, South Africa was the only developed country in Aprica. But after he became president, South Africa’s economy and military quickly declined, while those Western tycoons made a fortune, so when he passed away, many big shots from the West paid tribute to him."
"And Mahatma Gandhi, this guy studied in the United Kingdom before his debut, was groomed by the West as the successor of the San country."
"After returning to his country, he consistently served the West, strictly changing the San country according to their needs, which ultimately resulted in the San country, despite having a large population, remaining insignificant on the world stage."
He Jieyu’s perception was overturned yet again because, like most people, she always thought of Mandela and Gandhi as national heroes.
But now, thinking about it, it seemed indeed as Zhang Jingdong said, they not only didn’t change their country’s fate but instead led it to lose its original advantages.
Moreover, she felt Zhang Jingdong’s reasoning was quite correct; if they hadn’t created value for the Westerners, given their pragmatism, they would definitely not endorse them so strongly.
So she nodded happily: "Yeah, it really makes sense!"
The two had been chatting so enthusiastically during the meal that they ended up eating for almost two hours.
Walking out of the restaurant, He Jieyu’s admiration for Zhang Jingdong rose two more levels.
In the car, He Jieyu, still somewhat intrigued, said: "Chatting with you feels like a huge learning experience... Where are we heading now?"
Zhang Jingdong paused for a moment, then mentioned casually: "The weather is nice today, does your home have a piano?"
He Jieyu was slightly shocked but then nodded.
"Yes, it does, what’s up?"
Zhang Jingdong said seriously: "My piano skills are pretty good. How about we go to your place now and I’ll play a few pieces for you?"
He Jieyu suddenly became aware, her pretty face immediately blushing slightly.
Possibly because she was once again impressed by Zhang Jingdong during the meal, or perhaps she was quite looking forward to seeing Zhang Jingdong’s piano skills.
Besides, her mother wasn’t at home now, and she felt an inexplicable thrill in taking Zhang Jingdong to her home at this moment.
So after pretending to be surprised for a few seconds, she said: "You can play the piano?"
Zhang Jingdong felt he had struck the right chord again, feeling a surge of joy: "Not to brag, my piano skills are just as good as Zhou Jielun’s."
He Jieyu pursed her lips: "Alright, let’s see if you’re bragging."
Then she intentionally didn’t look at Zhang Jingdong, swiftly started the car and soon disappeared from the spot.
Half an hour later, the sapphire blue Pagani slowly drove into Tan Mansion Villa District, finally stopping at No. 6 yard.
He Jieyu then said: "Let me make a phone call to check first."
Zhang Jingdong nodded.
He Jieyu then dialed a call to Lin Ruotang first.
"Hello, mom... Are you back home? If not, bring home some tiramisu from the hotel for me... Alright, thanks, mom!"
After hanging up the call, He Jieyu dialed a call to their housekeeper, Mrs. Wang.
"Hello, Mrs. Wang, are you home?"
"Alright, alright... No need to rush back, I’m having a gathering at home with friends, please return after five... Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
After the call, He Jieyu, a bit shy and excited, said: "Let’s go."
The two got out of the car, went to the front door, He Jieyu opened it, and they walked inside.
Although Zhang Jingdong had been to many beautiful women’s homes before, as he stepped into the door, he felt an unprecedented thrill for the first time.
Moreover, he genuinely felt a bit worried that Lin Ruotang might suddenly come back.
Simultaneously, the sense of achievement within him surged once again.
After all, for a girl like He Jieyu from such a strict family secretly bringing a man home, it almost implied consent to be willing to do something with him.
Inside the house, He Jieyu directly took Zhang Jingdong to the study room on the second floor, where a piano that obviously wasn’t cheap was placed.
While a burst of excitement surged within Zhang Jingdong, he knew good things come to those who wait, so he went straight to the piano.
He tried a couple of notes and then praised: "This piano is nice, the sound is very accurate, tell me, what piece do you want to hear?"
Seeing Zhang Jingdong’s confident demeanor, He Jieyu asked: "Do you know ’Autumn Whisper’?"
Immediately, Zhang Jingdong’s heart skipped a beat: "I want to draw a prize!"
"The Host has accumulated 100 goodwill points from the target person, meets the drawing conditions, you can draw a prize!"
"Would the Host like to start the draw?"
"Yes."
"Drawing begins..."
"Prize one: Zhou Jielun’s musical ability."
"Prize two: Richard Clayderman’s piano ability."
"Prize three: Ma Youyou’s cello ability."
"I choose prize two!"
"Prize successfully exchanged, the Host has two more drawing opportunities, would you like to continue drawing?"
"No."
Zhang Jingdong laughed carefreely: "Of course."
After a slight preparation, he began to play.
He Jieyu only listened for less than a minute and was completely absorbed!
Firstly, Zhang Jingdong’s performance was truly impressive, and secondly, the way he played the piano was genuinely charming!
Back when He Jieyu wanted to learn piano, it was because she was swooned by Kazuyuki Kimura’s piano performance in ’Long Vacation.’
Yet at this moment, she felt Zhang Jingdong not only played better than Kazuyuki Kimura but also looked more charming while playing!
Most women are visual creatures, you can talk philosophy and history movies to her for a whole day, yet it wouldn’t compare to being charming in an instant.
Today, Zhang Jingdong first bought He Jieyu a top-tier sports car worth tens of millions, then amazed her with his knowledge and profound understanding of the world during the meal.
And now, Zhang Jingdong’s piano performance has firmly captured her heart, making He Jieyu instantly enamored with him!
Soon after Zhang Jingdong finished his piece, He Jieyu instinctively sat beside him.
"Jingdong, your playing is fantastic, and you look just so charming when you play the piano!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed gently: "Did I look charming enough to make you want to kiss me?"
He Jieyu nodded shyly and joyfully: "Yes!"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
He Jieyu paused slightly, then actually took the initiative to kiss Zhang Jingdong.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully receiving a spontaneous kiss from the target person, and gaining 10 goodwill points from the target person, rewarded with 200,000 yuan!"
