Chapter 23: What Do You Think Of Me?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After some processing, Zhang Cheng's 200,000 yuan came back.
This filled the eyes of the receptionist, Xiao Mei, with regret.
Her commission.
After doing this, Zhao Shengnan was ready to leave.
But she didn't expect Zhang Cheng to raise his hand and pull her back.
Zhao Shengnan frowned and immediately grabbed Zhang Cheng's fist and twisted it.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Zhang Cheng cried out.
"What are you doing? You're touching me," Shengnan Zhao asked, probably because she couldn't bear to leave after hearing Zhang Cheng's miserable scream.
Zhang Cheng held his hand that had been grabbed by Shengnan Zhao and then let go. It didn't hurt that much.
After all, his physical fitness had been greatly enhanced by the spiritual grass ginseng. Even if he wasn't as tough as those top athletes now, he wouldn't be much weaker.
In the future, he might even be able to surpass them.
It was just for show.
Moreover, if he did not act, Shengnan Zhao would have just left.
"You saved me 200,000 yuan. No matter what, I have to thank you. Lunch and dinner are on me, how about it?" Zhang Cheng said.
Shengnan Zhao did not say anything and just looked at him.
He quickly raised his hands in surrender. "After dinner, we will not go to my place, I will not be touching your boobs and we won't get down to f*cking."
"How kind of you," Zhao Shengnan replied. However, she hadn't eaten well for a long time. Moreover, she had been exercising a lot every day, so she had been on a long-time calorie deficit. She naturally had a greater appetite for food than ordinary people.
"So it'll be instant noodles for lunch?"
"Of course not. How about having roast meat next door?" Zhang Cheng said.
"Yes." Zhao Shengnan finally agreed. Moreover, this was what she deserved after saving the other party 200,000 yuan. She ate with a peace of mind.
At noon, Zhang Cheng had already prepared the pork, beef, mutton, chicken breast, chicken leg, and all kinds of meat and vegetables at the barbecue shop next door.
Zhao Shengnan guzzled it all down.
Although she needed to control her diet for fitness, after a lot of exercise, she also needed all kinds of meat to supplement her nutrition.
Especially after struggling to pay rent for the past three months, Zhao Shengnan hadn't had a happy meal for almost a month.
"Alright, this lunch will do," Zhao Shengnan said calmly after wiping her mouth.
Obviously, she did not plan to have another meal with Zhang Cheng.
"I want to chase you," Zhang Cheng said.
Zhao Shengnan looked at Zhang Cheng again. "Yes, I know."
Zhang Cheng sat next to Zhao Shengnan shamelessly.
Previously, he had coveted this woman's body, but now, he had grown a little fond of her personality.
"Sit further away," Zhao Shengnan reprimanded when she saw this, but she did not leave her seat.
"Let me tell you about my situation first."
"My name is Zhang Cheng. I'm 26 years old this year and unmarried. My parents are long gone. Currently, I'm engaged in the business of selling Chinese medicine. My main business is selling ginseng. My annual income is decent."
When Zhao Shengnan heard this, he looked at Zhang Cheng. Although this man was shameless, he was still considered honest.
Moreover, the 200,000 yuan that he had spent after the previous disagreement had piqued some of her interest.
As a man, how could he not be a little overbearing?
Puppy love?
Some girls fancied those pretty-boy puppies, but Zhao Shengnan found it all highly revolting.
A man had to act like a man.
Then, Zhao Shengnan noticed that Zhang Cheng's hand was on her shoulder.
Zhao Shengnan didn't say anything and just looked at Zhang Cheng's paw.
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but pull back awkwardly after a while.
Just now, he had taken the opportunity to hold Shengnan Zhao. He didn't expect to progress by leaps and bounds, but he didn't expect her to still have her guard up.
"My name is Shengnan Zhao. I'm 24 years old this year. I used to be a member of the provincial boxing team. I was expelled for some reasons before, and then I came to Happy Fitness to be a boxing coach. My parents are both here, but they both live in Q. My annual income... is just enough for me to live on."
Upon hearing Shengnan Zhao's self-introduction, Zhang Cheng grew all the more interested.
He didn't expect that he would one day be able to catch the eye of a beautiful woman.
However, when he looked at the time, it was already late.
"You should get back to work first. Let's continue chatting tonight?" Zhang Cheng said.
Shengnan Zhao glanced at Zhang Cheng again. After some hesitation, she finally nodded.
Zhang Cheng called home, then went to the gym for some exercise. Then, he brought Zhao Shengnan to the private dishes that he had eaten before.
They were not as lucky today. The two jars of "Buddha jumps over the wall soup" had all been reserved by other parties.
Zhang Cheng could only order some other signature dishes.
Zhao Shengnan looked at the prices of the dishes and could not help but be stunned.
"What... are you doing?"
"My income... is okay. Didn't I tell you?" Zhang Cheng said.
Zhao Shengnan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her goodwill from the morning had gone to waste. So he was a rich man. No wonder he dared to pursue her the moment they met.
"Do you make money by selling ginseng?" Zhao Shengnan didn't stand on ceremony. She flipped through the menu, trying to find something he liked to eat.
After all, she had never come to such a place before.
"It's okay," Zhang Cheng said.
Zhao Shengnan glanced at Zhang Cheng again and simply put down the menu. She couldn't look at it anymore. A plate of tofu priced at 388 made her dizzy.
"Although I don't know what you think of me, tell me what I think of you first," Zhao Shengnan suddenly said.
Zhang Cheng was stunned and nodded. "I'll listen to what you say."
"Your clothes are ordinary. That's not bad. At least you don't show off."
"You have guts. That's probably because you're rich. But no matter what, I still admire that." Whether it was the confrontation with Huang Gao or the conversation.., Zhao Shengnan knew that the man in front of her was not a coward.
"But I really don't have any feelings for you right now. If you want us to be friends, that's fine. But if it's a relationship you want, forget it."
After saying that, Zhao Shengnan was ready to leave. After all, this meal was almost 30,000 yuan. What would she say after eating this meal? Moreover, she did not quite like rich folk who threw their money about without a care.
Although Zhang Cheng didn't know why Zhao Shengnan's attitude suddenly changed, he also knew that he couldn't let her leave just like that. Once again, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Shengnan's small hand fearlessly.
Zhao Shengnan could not help but frown, but after thinking about it, she stopped.
"Can you hear my opinion of you?" Zhang Cheng asked.
When Zhao Shengnan heard this, he thought about it and sat down again. "Tell me, and I'll listen."
"You're very beautiful, so when we first met, I started to lust after you," Zhang Cheng said.
When Zhao Shengnan heard this, she grinned. At least you're honest.
"Then you stopped me from paying for the courses, so I started to look beyond your appearance," Zhang Cheng said again.
Zhao Shengnan nodded. Although she was quite short of money, she really didn't care much about money. Such was her strength. Of course, it was also possible that she hadn't completely accepted the influence of the social environment and retained her innocence.
That may still change in the future.
But now, if Zhang Cheng said anything about using his money to support her, Zhao Shengnan would definitely throw a punch at him.
Previously, she had been expelled from the boxing team because she had hit someone.
"Give me a chance, can you?" Zhang Cheng said.
As she looked into Zhang Cheng's eyes, Zhao Shengnan's heart palpitated.
Such determination was admirable.
At least, Zhao Shengnan would fall for it.
Zhang Cheng looked at the silent Zhao Shengnan and could not help but smile.
As a man transporting an entire Dimension in his mind and as a man who had come into contact with spirit grass ginseng, his body had greatly improved, so Zhang Cheng knew that it was impossible for him to have only one woman in his life.
If he saw any woman that pleased him, he would pursue her.
Zhang Cheng was not afraid at all.
Even if something happened in the future and they had to be separated or something, Zhang Cheng would not be heartless. He would definitely arrange the other party's life very well for the rest of her life.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Zhang Cheng was so thick-skinned as to pursue Zhao Shengnan even when Xiang Xiang was at home.
