Chapter 700: Chapter 301: She Looks Stunning at the Modeling Competition...
Then, it took them more than half an hour to get there, but the ride back only took less than 15 minutes.
Zhang Jingdong didn’t drive the car into the underground parking lot, instead he went to the ground parking lot in front of the building.
He parked the car next to his Land Rover.
Lin Qingci looked puzzled: "Why are we here?"
Zhang Jingdong said, somewhat unconvincingly: "I suddenly remembered on the road earlier that I was driving, and this is the car."
Lin Qingci quickly realized Zhang Jingdong was teasing her, and she blushed and said angrily: "Zhang Jingdong, you... you’re so annoying!"
Not only did Zhang Jingdong not panic, but he confidently replied: "Lin Qingci, if I hadn’t ridden in your car, I wouldn’t have noticed your driving skills, and wouldn’t have become your personal coach."
"And honestly, wasn’t the ride back thrilling? Wasn’t it fun?"
"But... you can’t deceive me, can you?"
"When the results are perfect enough, a little white lie isn’t harmful, right? Otherwise, how do you create unexpected surprises? Don’t you agree?"
Even though Lin Qingci thought Zhang Jingdong was somewhat making excuses, she had to admit that he indeed brought her quite a bit of joy and surprise earlier.
After weighing it all, she rolled her eyes flirtatiously: "Hmph... fine, but not next time! I hate being deceived the most!"
Zhang Jingdong responded without hesitation: "Alright, I promise!"
Seeing Lin Qingci’s mood improving, he then said: "This afternoon, hold a meeting for everyone, talk about what we discussed this morning, and start preparing for the overall upgrade of the website."
"Also, after signing the contract tomorrow, we officially embark on a new path of development for the website, make sure everyone is mentally prepared."
Although Lin Qingci felt it was a bit sudden, she deeply sensed the pressure from Zhang Jingdong as a big boss, so she said humbly: "Alright, I understand!"
"Nothing else for now, we’ll discuss more tomorrow. By the way, your lipstick color doesn’t quite suit you, you might want to try Givenchy’s vintage red."
"That’s it then, see you tomorrow!"
After finishing, Zhang Jingdong got out of the car and boarded his Land Rover Range Rover.
With a quick maneuver, he soon disappeared from the spot.
Lin Qingci stared blankly at the departing black Land Rover, feeling both shy and annoyed, while a crazy thought popped into her mind: Is he buying my company to chase me?
But he already has Jieyu... alright, he’s definitely a flirt!
I mustn’t let him succeed!
Hmph, I hate flirtatious men the most!
Originally, Zhang Jingdong could sign the contract with Lin Qingci this afternoon, but during the morning conversation, An Lu sent him a text message that altered his plan.
An Lu’s text message read: This afternoon is the final of Susu model competition, you didn’t forget, did you? I saved you, you owe me a good reward!
Zhang Jingdong had forgotten indeed, but he replied: I certainly didn’t forget, but considering how thoughtful you are, I’ll reward you with at least three bottles of Life One tonight.
Leaving Jianyun Building, Zhang Jingdong went straight to East River Convention Center.
After parking the car, Zhang Jingdong texted An Lu: I’m here, where are you now?
Soon, An Lu replied: Susu is in the backstage preparing for the competition, where are you? I’ll come to pick you up.
Zhang Jingdong: I’m by the west entrance.
An Lu: Okay.
About five minutes later, Zhang Jingdong spotted An Lu amidst the crowd.
Today, she was dressed elegantly, wearing a Givenchy little black dress full of design flair, paired with heels looking about 10 cm tall.
Recently, she had been receiving professional model training with Su Man at nights, so now she looked like one of the contestants in the model competition.
She appeared both sophisticated and had a cool vibe.
It was the first time Zhang Jingdong saw her like this, and he was instantly amazed!
Unable to help himself, he approached her exaggeratedly and said: "Wow, is this still my An An? You’re practically a global supermodel now, it’s just stunning!"
"No way, I have to climb up for a moment, come, let’s hug!"
An Lu had dressed up so carefully today to give Zhang Jingdong a fresh experience, and hearing his praise, she was filled with joy and replied: "With such sweet words, besides a hug, I can reward you with a kiss too."
Zhang Jingdong sighed spontaneously: "So beautiful, yet so generous, I’ve truly struck gold!"
Then he tightly hugged An Lu and gave her a firm kiss.
Just as they were talking, An Lu’s model-like attire drew much attention.
Now, with their hug and kiss, many people who were about to enter the venue halted, casting envious and jealous glances at Zhang Jingdong.
Despite Zhang Jingdong’s inner satisfaction, with the gathering crowd threatening to block the entrance, and An Lu’s face growing redder, he gave her another kiss and then pulled her inside.
Despite being a weekday afternoon, the venue was surprisingly crowded, almost reaching a thousand people!
Most of them, of course, were men.
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but recall a time in the future when car shows sparked crazes with people chasing after scantily-clad car models.
And now, this professional model competition naturally garners even more attention.
Following An Lu, Zhang Jingdong reached a pretty decent spot in the second row.
It was only four or five meters from the runway, so they’d definitely be able to see each model’s physique and face clearly.
Taking a glance around, Zhang Jingdong suddenly saw a large promotional board with photos of the top 30 models qualified for the competition.
They were dressed in skimpy outfits, all with fair skin, beautiful faces, and long legs.
Despite that, Su Man still stood out like a swan among chickens.
Gazing at her pretty face and nearly perfect figure for a long time, a huge wave of excitement rose within Zhang Jingdong’s heart.
