Chapter 714: Chapter 306: Initial Taming of Lin Qingci
Lin Qingci’s face softened slightly when she heard this, but she still said, "It’s not about the money."
"Not about the money?" Zhang Jingdong immediately caught on: "Then... is it about a woman?"
"Lin Qingci, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me? So you’re actually mad because you heard a woman’s voice when you called me back then?"
Lin Qingci was suddenly flustered: "Zhang Jingdong, what are you talking about? I haven’t! I... I just feel it’s unfair to Jieyu!"
"Jieyu is so excellent, and after having her, you still dare to mess around behind her back!"
"And at that time it definitely wasn’t just one, at least two! Even according to the content of another woman’s words, there might be three!"
Zhang Jingdong smirked: "You’re wrong!"
"How am I wrong? I heard it with my own ears, and you still want to argue?"
"What I mean is you’re wrong about me doing it behind Jieyu’s back; I’m not. She knows about all of it."
"How... how is that possible?"
Zhang Jingdong reached out: "If you don’t believe me, you can call her right now to ask!"
Seeing that Zhang Jingdong didn’t seem to be joking, Lin Qingci’s brows furrowed slightly: "Are you sure?"
"I’m absolutely sure."
Lin Qingci then really took out her phone and waved it at Zhang Jingdong: "If you say so, I’ll really call her!"
She wanted to scare him a bit because he was being so arrogant, and also wanted to confirm if He Jieyu really knew about it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingdong just smiled nonchalantly: "Go ahead!"
Lin Qingci was instantly dumbfounded!
And at that moment, she realized that He Jieyu probably did know about this.
So she instinctively said: "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Jieyu is such a proud person, why would she accept you like this?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Obviously the truth!"
"Honestly, you might find it hard to believe."
"Spit it out already!"
"Alright, since you want to know so much, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise me one condition, which is after I tell you the truth, you have to forgive me this time and agree to continue working with me."
Lin Qingci paused for a moment, then said, "...Alright, tell me."
Zhang Jingdong sighed: "The truth is... I’m just too good in that regard, Jieyu alone can’t handle me."
"You heard it on the phone back then, all three of them aren’t my match."
"Wha... what!?"
Lin Qingci practically yelled out.
She had imagined countless answers but never expected it to be this.
And this answer was just... too outrageous!
But judging by Zhang Jingdong’s expression, he clearly wasn’t lying.
"You... you... is that... really true?"
Zhang Jingdong gave a sly smile: "If you don’t believe me, you can come and see next time."
"Zhang Jingdong, are you crazy? Do you know what you’re saying?"
Zhang Jingdong shrugged: "What else can I do? You doubt me, and this is the only way I can prove I’m not lying to you!"
"Jieyu really lets you be because of this?"
Zhang Jingdong said seriously: "Lin Qingci, you might not know since you’ve never been in a relationship, but when a relationship reaches a certain point, harmony in that aspect can significantly affect the bond between two people."
"The reason why Jieyu and I are so good now is because she doesn’t restrict me on this, so out of a sense of guilt, I treat her better!"
"You already took out your phone. If you don’t believe me, call her now."
Lin Qingci hesitated for a moment, then put the phone on the table.
"I’m not calling. One of the biggest taboos in a relationship is a third party saying anything. If I tell Jieyu, and later you make it up to her, she’ll see me as meddling; then our relationship is over. I won’t do something so foolish!"
Zhang Jingdong immediately gave her a thumbs up: "No wonder you’re a top student from Harvard, truly smart!"
"Enough with that; I... I’ve never seen a man like you!"
Zhang Jingdong suddenly leaned in: "Now don’t you feel I’m even more special, more outstanding?"
"You... I... hey, aren’t you being a bit too thick-skinned? Do you really think I’m praising you?"
Zhang Jingdong said earnestly: "In today’s society, being thick-skinned is definitely a huge advantage. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s an essential trait for any competent entrepreneur."
"There’s a saying that goes, right, it’s about not being afraid of what others say when you’re doing something. Every time we launch a new project, whether it’s from peers or regular users, we’ll definitely get a lot of negative feedback."
"If an entrepreneur isn’t thick-skinned enough, they’ll just crumble!"
"But in most cases, their feedback doesn’t actually represent the majority of users, they’re often just being spiteful."
"We must always have great confidence in our products, face criticism squarely, correct mistakes when we have them, improve when we don’t, and keep going, only then can we achieve ultimate success."
"Although QQ is popular now, it’s both praised and criticized, how many people accused them of plagiarism! If Mr. Ma wasn’t thick-skinned enough, his company would have collapsed by now!"
