Chapter 155: The Rights of a Couple
You’re just a vice president. Even if you were the president, you’re still working for others. Yang Ming was relieved when he thought about this. Now his relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Zhitao was like half of the honeymoon period. Both of them weren’t certain of defeating each other, so they had to act “friendly” on the surface! The vice president would be fine if he didn’t trouble Yang Ming. If he did trouble Yang Ming, then Yang Ming had a reason to mess him up. Besides, Yang Ming could complain to w.a.n.g Zhitao after the incident. According to w.a.n.g Zhitao’s arrogance, he will surely help Yang Ming even if it was going against his will. As such, he could set up the vice president and put w.a.n.g Zhitao into a difficult position. Moreover, eventually they will fight openly, and Yang Ming still had the naked “trump card” of his cla.s.smate’s Little w.a.n.g. w.a.n.g Zhitao wouldn’t want to be the second Edison Chen, would he?
Yang Ming thought he was talented as a conspirator. Ever since he got framed, Yang Ming didn’t think that his fist was the only solution; sometimes an appropriate conspiracy could defeat the opponent entirely. If he used both techniques, then he would be invincible.
I have to admit that Yang Ming was still growing. He became steadier. He knows to plan before taking a step. Therefore, he could form a more comprehensive plan now.
Yang Ming decided to risk the danger after he thought it through. Otherwise, Yang Ming wouldn’t be so stupid to agree to such nonsense even if Sun Jie agreed to sleep with him after that.
But Yang Ming had decided. Aren’t you guys fooling me like an innocent dupe? Want to fight me with your high social cla.s.s? That’s great. I’ll just be myself. After all, I have a thick skin. Even a machine gun couldn’t penetrate it! Let’s see who will get into trouble first.
Ha! Let it be that way. If people knew Sun Jie had a hooligan boyfriend, and this hooligan was Yang Li’s cousin, that would indeed be interesting.
Yang Li didn’t know that her cousin had started to set her up. She was still feeling proud of her cleverness. Firstly, she could humiliate Yang Ming. Secondly, she had achieved her objective.
The vice president of Xiongfeng Group, Guo Jianchao, was madly in love with Sun Jie. This wasn’t a secret anymore. But Sun Jie didn’t bother with him. She rejected Guo Jianchao and told him that she had a boyfriend.
Of course, Guo Jianchao didn’t give up, so he decided to bribe Sun Jie’s best friend, Yang Li. He gave Yang Li a few bottles of perfume that were from France and a limited edition LV handbag [1]. Yang Li couldn’t resist the temptation, so she agreed to help Guo Jianchao.
Although Yang Li’s family was rich, there were some things that couldn’t be bought using money. Let’s use this limited edition LV handbag as an example. This handbag wasn’t available in the country, and Yang Li couldn’t buy it even when she was rich. However, Guo Jianchao got it from overseas because of his broad connections in his business.
Although Yang Li agreed to help Guo Jianchao, she knew Sun Jie very well because they were best friends. It was nearly impossible to match them up. But, for the perfumes and handbag, Yang Li decided to help without jeopardizing Sun Jie. Yang Li helped him once as a favor for his gifts.
Now was just the right timing. Guo Jianchao was treating a dinner today. Sun Jie naturally knew his objective, but she had to go because they were business partners. Therefore, she had no choice but to consult Yang Li and find a strawman to deal with him.
Yang Li immediately thought of her cousin, Yang Ming. She thought Yang Ming was a naive person. He wouldn’t have the chance to know about senior white-collar and rich family kids, so, he would behave submissively and get stage fright at that moment.
This way, she could return Guo Jianchao’s favor. No matter how stupid Guo Jianchao could be, he should be able to know that Yang Ming was brought in last minute. This should tell Guo Jianchao that Sun Jie had no boyfriend. Yes, if she had a boyfriend, she wouldn’t have to find a temporary one.
This was killing two birds with one stone. Why not?
Yang Li wanted to expose Yang Ming, so she didn’t dress him up. Yang Ming’s cheap clothes were too obvious to be ignored.
Sun Jie wouldn’t miss this. She noticed it too. She didn’t think Yang Ming was naive, although he acted naively. Sun Jie had an ambiguous feeling about Yang Ming. Was he lecherous? It didn’t seem like it. At one moment he was looking at her b.o.o.bs without scruple, and his eyes were full of l.u.s.t. The next moment he became indifferent.
Sun Jie thought that Yang Ming was a conniving and cunning person. She didn’t know Yang Ming was weighing the pros and cons! Another point was that Yang Ming was the only man she didn’t dislike since her incident five years ago. Therefore, Sun Jie teased him.
When they got out of Yang Li’s house, the two women brought Yang Ming to the parking lot. The parking lot here was like a car exhibition. Most of the good cars in Song Jiang City were here. This was the place for the rich.
Yang Li was driving a modern Coupe sports car. This car was stylish out there, but it became inferior when compared to Sun Jie’s car!
This was an Audi R82 Edition that had recently gotten into the market! Yang Ming was learning in one in driving school not long ago, so he was quite familiar with that car now. This edition wasn’t opened to the public in China yet! Now the R8 in the country was just V8. He wasn’t sure how Sun Jie got this car, but he had to admire her broad social network.
The red color was wilder when a woman drove it. To be honest, R8 wasn’t the car with the best performance, but it is easily the most attractive sports car! The big mouth design was more striking than V8. Especially the car lights, they were absolutely fascinating!
“Get in the car.” Yang Li noticed Yang Ming only looked at the R8 without taking a peek at her Coupe. She was obviously angry.
There is a better car. Why would I sit in yours? Yang Ming curled his lips and walked straight toward Sun Jie’s R8. Then he opened the door.
“Oi, why are you being so impolite? Does she ask you to sit?” Yang Li was even angrier when Yang Ming ignored her.
“You asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. But now you’re asking me to sit together with you. Do you think this is reasonable?” Yang Ming shrugged.
“This…” Yang Li was speechless from Yang Ming’s explanation. He made sense.
Yang Ming ignored Yang Li who was stunned and got into Sun Jie’s R8.
Sun Jie looked at Yang Ming with interest. She felt something different about Yang Ming. This man, it looks like he is confident! She knew about Yang Ming’s family background through Yang Li. Logically, Yang Ming wouldn’t be so arrogant. But now, Yang Ming at least wasn’t pretending. It was more of his natural character.
There is a saying that heroes are not afraid of a poor background as long as their spirit is high with pride. This meant that a person who is striving for the top will be successful one day no matter what his background.
Sun Jie looked forward to Yang Ming’s performance.
If it was a previous Yang Ming, he would surely be arrogant. But he wouldn’t have the sense of indifference. It was because of his extraordinary abilities that Yang Ming was capable of looking down from the top!
Of course, this type of s.h.i.+ft in temperament would be hardly noticed by the person himself. Yang Ming sat comfortably in the R8 leather seat and took a look at the interior design. Luxurious without fuss, the k.n.o.bs on the operation panel were arranged neatly, the steerability was great.
“Why are you and Yang Li always in a tense situation?” Sun Jie looked at Yang Ming with a smile. The mighty engine roared and filled with unspeakable pleasure.
“Don’t you know discussing other’s family issues isn’t polite?” Yang Ming said lightly.
“Now you’re my boyfriend. You’re the one who said it. You have your boyfriend’s rights, so I have my girlfriend’s rights too. Therefore, asking about my boyfriend’s family issue isn’t a problem, right?” Sun Jie was astounded slightly, then she followed up easily.
“Is that so?” Yang Ming didn’t think that this woman was so smart. But Yang Ming had never lost to anyone else in arguing. You use your rights? Alright then, I’ll use mine too. This is too easy. How could I lose to you?
Yang Ming extended his hand and put it on Sun Jie’s thigh, “My cousin is a bit sn.o.bbish, don’t you know that?”
Sun Jie frowned slightly. “What are you doing!”
“I’m using my right, of course. Don’t tell me you want to deny those rights now?” Yang Ming looked at Sun Jie provocatively.
