So Pure, So Flirtatious

Seeing Zhao Ying’s surprise, Sun Jie scolded Yang Ming one hundred and eighty times, but on the surface, she smiled and said, “Yingying, whether you admit it or not, this society belongs to men after all. It has not changed since the past.

Although the remarks that promote equality between men and women are nice to hear, the truth shall always remain as the truth. Look at the pillars of society. How many women are there? I do not deny the existence of a strong woman, but cases are rare and can’t explain anything.”

Although Sun Jie was a very strong woman, she was extremely sensitive to the concept of men and women since childhood. Because she was a girl, her father never wanted to let her take over the underworld business, but would rather train a man instead.

In all of this, although Sun Jie did not want to accept it, she still had to. Before Yang Ming appeared, even if she were outstanding, and even if Sun Zhiwei were hopeless, Sun Hongjun did not give up thoughts of training him. This made Sun Jie very annoyed.

However, sometimes, Sun Jie had to admit that women would never be able to do things like men. In the world, there were so many old families and emerging families. The leaders in most of the families were man, except of course, in very special feminist families.

However, in China, in this land that had popularized the idea of men being more superior than women since ancient times, it was too difficult for a woman to build a career. Although gender equality was often spoken off, was there really equality after looking at it comprehensively?

Never mind about that. Just looking at the retirement system of institutions and enterprises, it was always women who retired first. Therefore, Sun Jie could only accept this reality.

“Little Jie, are you actually saying this?” Zhao Ying looked at Sun Jie inexplicably. “I always thought that you were a feminist.”

” Hehe .” Sun Jie shrugged. “Don’t be surprised. If a man, who is really good enough to make me fall for him, appears in front of me one day, I will not mind how many women he had. I will not hold back. Of course, I will find some way to crowd out the other women…”

As Zhao Ying listened to the first half of Sun Jie’s words, she thought that Sun Jie had changed. When she heard the words that followed behind, she was dumbfounded. Sun Jie is still Sun Jie. Her overbearing personality is always there at any time.

Crowd out… Of course, Sun Jie has that ability and qualification . But what about me? Thinking about the other women around Yang Ming, each of them was not bad. Even her best friend, Wang Xiaoyan, Zhao Ying was unlikely to crowd her out deliberately…

“Then what you mean is… I should fight for it?” Zhao Ying generally understood Sun Jie’s intention.

“Have you ever heard of this saying? Fight for your own happiness.” Sun Jie nodded and said, “If you don’t fight for it, it will never be yours. Happiness will not come to you for no reason. There is no such thing as a free meal in this world. If you are looking for good luck, you might as well buy a lottery ticket.”

“But… now the problem is not about me fighting for it or not…” Zhao Ying sighed helplessly and said with amazement, “I want to fight too… He and I had made some progress initially, but I found out my best friend… is actually his girlfriend too…”

” Ah ?” Sun Jie suddenly opened her eyes widely after listening to it, and she looked at Xiao Qing subconsciously. No way. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Xiao Qing couldn’t help but smile at Sun Jie. She didn’t expect her and Sun Jie to fall in love with the same man. Zhao Ying also encountered such a problem.

“Actually, this is not a big problem.” Thinking of her own situation, Xiao Qing smiled naturally. “You must think that he is with your best friend, so you feel uncomfortable fighting over a man with her, right?”

“That is the case…” Zhao Ying nodded after listening to Xiao Qing’s words. “I can’t accept it… If it were another woman, I’m better off, but I can’t imagine myself fighting over a man with my best friend. What would it be like to fight for a man?”

” Hehe , you can think about the problem from another angle. Why do you want to fight?” Xiao Qing said with a smile.

“Why?” Zhao Ying was surprised. “Aren’t you asking me to fight for it? Why not fight?”

Xiao Qing’s words made Zhao Ying confused. Xiao Qing advised her not to give up, but now, it seemed that this was not the case.

Seeing that Zhao Ying misunderstood, Sun Jie explained at the side, “Qingqing means not to have you fight, but you can share between two people!”

“To share together…” Zhao Ying finally understood Xiao Qing’s meaning. It was to let her and Wang Xiaoyan share Yang Ming. Zhao Ying found this acceptable. After all, Yang Ming had Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun. It was not much different with an additional Wang Xiaoyan.

” Hehe , how about it? Finding it hard to accept?” Sun Jie stood up and dried her wet hair. Then, she glanced at Xiao Qing with special intent. “From another perspective, your best friend is your ally. If you don’t want to harm others, it’s hard to guarantee that the other girlfriends of that person would not accept you and frame you. You have a familiar good sister to help. It can save you a lot of trouble. At least you are not alone.”

Although Zhao Ying did not think Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun would frame her, she was sure that Chen Mengyan would exclude her. Last time when Chen Mengyan encountered her and Yang Ming at the temple fair, Chen Mengyan’s reaction was too emotional. Therefore, what Sun Jie said was a good idea. When she changed her view on the problem, the knot in her heart naturally opened.

“If one day I fell in love with the same man as Little Jie, I think we will still maintain our current friendship, even better than now, right? Little Jie Jie?” Xiao Qing glanced at Sun Jie and asked with a smile.

“Yeah, I think so too. It is not a big deal!” Sun Jie glared at Xiao Qing. She thought Xiao Qing was deliberately saying this, but now she was too lazy to care about Zhao Ying, so she nodded and followed Xiao Qing’s words as she put on a smile for Zhao Ying.

“It turns out… you are more open-minded than me. The onlooker sees more of the game…” Zhao Ying smiled a bit bitterly. Did I overthink too much? Sun Jie and Xiao Qing could view the problem in a positive light. Why am still having a knot in my heart?

“Alright, I think you must have made the final decision, right?” Xiao Qing looked at Zhao Ying now, and she knew that Zhao Ying already had an idea in her mind. “When will you take Little Jie and me to take a look at your crush? I want to see his capability. How did he make you fall so deeply in love with him!?”

” En … let’s wait for an opportunity…” Zhao Ying’s face blushed as she whispered.

” Hehe , let’s continue playing the game. I have another game controller. Yingying, you also join in… This is the castle stage. I just played with Qingqing for a long time, but we could not pass the level. It’s a little difficult!” Sun Jie handed another controller to Zhao Ying.

Then, she changed the settings and added a new player into the game.

……

Zhao Ying’s phone rang which surprised her deep down in her heart. She quickly picked up the phone, only to find that it was her mother who called.

“I am going to pick up a call… My mom called.” Zhao Ying put the controller aside. “You all go ahead first.”

“Quickly go and come back soon. We are both at our limits to proceed through the level…” Sun Jie waved her hand and stared at the TV screen as she spoke to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying picked up the phone and walked out of the living room. She came to the room next door and picked up the phone. “Mom? Is there anything the matter?”

“Nothing. I just missed you, so I called.” Wang Guifen’s recent mood was particularly good. Not only did she drive a BMW but also had some money in her hands. She was about to purchase a house at her side.

Now, when she left the house, she could walk straight. She would promote that her daughter had found a rich man as a partner wherever she went. However, on this street, many people envied Wang Guifen and hated that their daughter was not as beautiful as Zhao Ying. It also made Wang Guifen somewhat flattered.

However, Wang Guifen always felt that before her daughter established a relationship with Yang Ming, her glory and wealth could possibly vanish. She already knew Yang Ming had pretended to be her daughter’s boyfriend, so she was particularly concerned.

“Yingying, how is the progression between you and Yang Ming? Have you both lived together?” Wang Guifen beat around the bush with common chatter before she brought in the main topic.

“No!” Zhao Ying suddenly blushed and said shyly, “Mom, why do you always ask these things… It is my own matter. I know how to handle it…”

Since Zhao Ying had made up her mind not to give up this relationship, she was not perfunctory toward Wang Guifen at the moment. Initially, she was afraid that her feelings with Yang Ming would not be accepted by her family, but now it seemed that her mother was absolutely supportive and was even more anxious than herself.

” Ai , you have to hurry.” Wang Guifen heard Zhao Ying’s words and knew that there wasn’t much progress. However, Zhao Ying did not reject it for the first time, which made Wang Guifen really happy.

“I got it.” Zhao Ying did not contradict her mother again.

” Hehe , that is great. I won’t say anything more. You can grasp it yourself.” Wang Guifen was afraid that Zhao Ying would resist and oppose it. She didn’t expect this phone call to be so harmonious for the first time.

After hanging up the call with her mother, Zhao Ying also felt for the first time that she didn’t have such an uncomfortable feeling of depression… It seems I finally thought through it today.

……

It wasn’t until Li Zhichun called Zhang Jingyao to ask him how he handled Yang Ming’s matter, and Zhang Jingyao hung up after saying a few words plainly that Li Zhichun realized that things seemed to have changed!

He quickly dialed Zhang Jingyao’s phone again, but the person who picked up the call was not Zhang Jingyao, but Zhang Jingyao’s secretary. Her tone was very sweet, and her attitude was very harmonious. However, this sweet tone chilled Li Zhichun’s heart. “President Zhang has a meeting. What’s the matter? I will help you take a message.”

Initially, no matter what Zhang Jingyao was doing, as long as Li Zhichun called, the secretary would immediately transfer it to Zhang Jingyao, but now…

No matter what Li Zhichun said, the secretary still did not bother to repeat the previous words. Li Zhichun had no other way but to ask when Zhang Jingyao would finish his meeting.

As a result, the secretary said sweetly, “I don’t know this either, Mr. Li. If you have anything, I will note it for you…”

Li Zhichun was too angry, but he was slightly at his wit’s end. He had to tell the secretary that he would call again after a while.

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhichun snorted. He couldn’t help but shout, “What are you being pretentious for? You are looking for me to cooperate, but it seems like I am begging you. What is this?”

Li Zhichun called Li Tianjia to ask him to come over. He asked about the situation over the past few days. “Have you contacted Zhang Xiaonao?”

“No… I don’t know how I offended him. When I called him, he directly rejected my call. The next time I called, his phone was shut down…” Li Tianjia frowned as he replied in confusion.

“Motherf*cker, so pretentious?” Li Zhichun couldn’t help but swear. “I don’t know what happened to Zhang Jingyao. I called, but he did not bother.”

“Did not bother? Doesn’t he want to use our business in Africa for money laundering? How can his attitude be like this?” Li Tianjia asked baffled.

“Who knows what is going on? But this time, even if he begged me, I won’t care about him.” Li Zhichun twitched his mouth. “He is just a gangster boss. He really thought he is a big shot. After I acquire the gold mine over in Country X, our Li Family will have a great leap! At that time, I will not be afraid of them!”

“Could it be that something has gone wrong?” Li Tianjia was not as calm as Li Zhichun. “Why do I feel that this is a bit weird?”

“Weird?” After Li Zhichun heard it, he lost his anger temporarily. He frowned as he thought. “Now that you mention it, it is a bit weird. Zhang Jingyao is preparing for money laundering. He opened a company and a lot of legitimate hotels, waiting for the money laundering in Africa. How can he give up so suddenly?”

“Indeed, if he doesn’t rely on us, how can he proceed with the money laundering? You know, Country X in Africa is an excellent way to launder money!” Li Tianjia nodded and said.

“Did he manage to get in contact with another big shot, so he doesn’t want to work with us?” Li Zhichun hesitated and said.

“This is possible…” Li Tianjia heard it and thought it was true.

“However, who can still be more powerful than our Li Family now? We have both money and connections. As we take a look, who will Zhang Jingyao choose to cooperate with?” Li Zhichun shook his head and felt this idea seemed to be unlikely.

“Indeed, if he wants to go to Africa Country X to invest in gold mines, his only solution is to work with us. I really can’t think who else he can partner with!” Li Tianjia smiled ridiculously, “Is he cooperating with the Huang Family? Haha… haha …”

After he finished, he laughed. Indeed, Li Tianjia treated it as a joke. He did not take it seriously at all.

“Of course, whoever he works with will not be the Huang Family.” Li Zhichun also laughed. “This time, the Huang Family is completely done for!”

This matter only made Li Zhichun depressed for a moment. In fact, he really didn’t take it seriously! He just felt embarrassed, but it had no effect on the Li Family’s interest!

The Li Family did not involve the underworld business at all, so his attitude toward the underworld people was only to mind his own business. Even if he cooperated with Zhang Jingyao, he would not ask anything from Zhang Jingyao. On the contrary, Zhang Jingyao asked a lot from them.

Therefore, after Li Zhichun was depressed, he did not bother with Zhang Jingyao again. Zhang Jingyao did not contact him, so Li Zhichun ultimately regarded it as though he did not have this partner.

In fact, the news in the business world also spread very fast. Even though the Huang Family was very low-key, not long after, people in the business field also learned that the Huang Family and Zhang Jingyao began to cooperate closely!

The bank not only delayed the Huang Family’s deadline to pay back the debt but also eliminated some of the interest. Those companies that had previously cut off business with the Huang Family also took the initiative to approach them…

For the time being, the Huang Enterprise, which was facing bankruptcy, actually made a comeback and became active in a short moment!

This news naturally came to the ears of Li Zhichun and Li Tianjia.

In Li Enterprises, Li Zhichun sat in the office and looked at Li Tianjia.

“Did Zhang Jingyao’s head get kicked by a donkey? He is cooperating with the Huang Family?” Li Zhichun had an inexplicable expression.

“Yeah, is he crazy?” Li Tianjia was also somewhat inexplicable. “He is counting on the Huang Family to establish a cooperative relationship with him in Africa? Is his brain punctured?”

“I don’t know how the Huang Xiaofei scammed Zhang Jingyao. This old fox actually has some capability!” Li Zhichun naturally didn’t know the role Yang Ming played in this matter. After all, it was a very secret thing. No one else knew about it except the parties involved – Yang Ming and Zhang Jingyao. Even Huang Xiaofei did not know what Yang Ming and Zhang Jingyao discussed to let the underworld godfather completely side with the Huang Family.

“Hmph , this is better. Let’s wait for Zhang Jingyao to cry later!” Li Tianjia sneered as he laughed at other’s mishap. “Unless, he and the Huang Family have other means, as long as they want to invest in Country X in Africa, we will find General Kars to kill them!”

” Hehe .” Li Zhichun smirked. “At that time, we will wait for Zhang Jingyao to beg from us. However, at that time, the bargaining chips would not be as simple as now!”

However, the news that came out next also made Li Zhichun surprised! He did not expect that it happened according to his prediction. Zhang Jingyao announced that he would invest in the mining industry of Country X in Africa with the Huang Family. They would form a strategic partnership.

“Is Zhang Jingyao crazy?” Li Tianjia looked at an article in the newspaper and commented to Li Zhichun.

“I think so too. Let’s wait and watch the show!” Li Zhichun sneered, “Find out about the time of the flights for which they have tickets. Let’s go along with them. Haha, at that time…”

“Okay, I got it!” Li Tianjia was also looking forward to the upcoming matter. At that time, the Li Family could be very bad*ss in Africa Country X, while Zhang Jingyao and the Huang Family…

Huang Xiaofei, you really didn’t learn your lesson.. .
